"I'll leave these two to you. Senior Ghost Servant, follow me."
After handing Nightmare Two and Nightmare Three to Luosha King and the rest, Li Mu waved his sleeves. His and the Ghost Servant's figures gradually faded and disappeared.
Above the West Sea, a white line rapidly headed south. Along the way, the seawater evaporated, and countless fishes and prawns died. When the aquatic demons felt those powerful auras, they were so frightened that they fled into the deep sea, not daring to show their faces.
Wherever the white line passed, a Sixth Level Flood Dragon lay on the bottom of the sea, trembling.
After cultivating for close to a hundred years, he had never seen such a huge formation. The five auras that passed by just now gave him a strong sense of oppression. They were undoubtedly Seventh Level powerhouses.
Those powerhouses left quickly. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, another two powerful auras swept over from behind.
This flood dragon did not dare to reveal any of its aura. It waited until the surface of the sea calmed down before it dared to show its head. Looking in the direction where those powerhouses disappeared, its eyes were filled with shock.
At this moment, it finally realized that the two people who came later seemed to be chasing after the five people.
Two Seventh Level powerhouses chasing after five Seventh Level powerhouses. What was going on?
Although he was very curious, he was still afraid of those powerhouses' auras. He did not dare to go closer to watch. Swinging his tail, he swam towards the deep sea.
Xuan Ming brought a few subordinates and escaped from the Ghost Realm of the Sheng Continent to the West Sea. From the West Sea to Yanzhou, she flew all the way to the South Sea. In her ten thousand years of cultivation, she had rarely been in such a sorry state.
When Li Mu was at Sixth Level, he could already hurt her with the Sun Shooting Bow. Now that he was at Seventh Level, his Dharmic powers were ten times stronger than before. He only needed to shoot an arrow with all his strength to kill her on the spot. Ten thousand years of inheritance would be destroyed by one arrow.
With the Sun Shooting Bow in hand, the only one in Sage Sect who could kill Li Mu was the Third Elder.
But the moment the Third Elder stepped out of Ghost Island, he would be stopped by Tian Jizi. This was why Li Mu could do whatever he wanted on the mainland.
In Yanzhou, on an endless grassland, wherever Xuan Ming passed, the vegetation would wither and turn to dust. Her speed was extremely fast, but in the path she had to pass, there was a ripple in the void and two figures appeared.
Li Mu's Shrinking Technique allowed him to cross hundreds of miles easily. In the past, he had been unable to escape the pursuit of the Mysterious Underworld Being. However, the situation was reversed now. The Five Demonic Dao Ancestors would not be able to escape his grasp.
Li Mu gave the Sky Breaking Spear to the ghost servant for the time being. He held the Sun Shooting Bow in his hand. Before he could draw the bow, Xuan Ming said in a cold voice, "After shooting the arrow, do you still have the power to resist?"
She wasn't exaggerating. Li Mu was sure that if he shot an arrow with all his strength, even if Xuan Ming didn't die, he would be like Blood River and lose all his fighting power.
However, at that time, Li Mu would not have a single drop of magic power left.
The ghost servant would be besieged by the others, especially with the black-robed man around. It would be difficult for him to win. At that time, Li Mu's magic power would not have recovered and he would be in a dangerous situation.
Exchanging one with Xuan Ming was obviously not a smart decision.
He thought for a moment and suddenly shot the bow at the black-robed man. He only used ten percent of his magic power for this arrow. It was enough to kill an Initial Transcendent realm expert. The black-robed man's expression changed when he was targeted by the Sun Shooting Bow. However, he couldn't dodge. A black light flickered on his body. Suddenly, a scale flew out from his chest and met the arrow.
Boom!
The golden arrow and the black scale collided and exploded. A spatial crack swept out. Xuan Ming quickly retreated with the others. The black-robed man only spat out a mouthful of blood. He actually blocked the Sun Shooting Bow's arrow.
"Dragon race …"
Li Mu recognized the black-robed man from the scale. He was actually a seventh realm black dragon. The dragon race's strength was already higher than those of the same realm. In addition, they had strong bodies and powerful supernatural powers. Human and Yao cultivators of the same realm couldn't do anything to them.
The scale that flew out from his body was one of the dragon race's life-saving supernatural powers.
The only reverse scale on their body was refined into a magic treasure. It would fly out at a critical moment to protect their body. It could block a fatal blow for them.
The arrogant dragon race was actually willing to be a subordinate of the demonic path.
Li Mu didn't hesitate and drew the bow again. At this moment, Xuan Ming suddenly grabbed the air and grabbed a figure from the Flask Heaven Space. The figure blocked in front of her. She coldly looked at Li Mu and said, "Try shooting another arrow!"
Seeing Xuan Ming grabbing the shoulder of the white-robed female corpse in front of him, Li Mu's face darkened. He raised the Sun Shooting Bow and aimed at the sky. An arrow light whizzed by and disappeared in the sky.
The female corpse that Xuan Ming used as a threat had the same face as Su He. It was Su He's body under the altar in the Bay of Clearwater.
After she risked her life to save Su He, she disappeared alone. Li Mu and Su He never saw her again.
Although she was an independent body, she still had an inseparable relationship with Su He. She didn't expect that she would fall into Xuan Ming's hands.
Xuan Ming saw Li Mu's reaction and knew that she had made the right bet.
He really cared about the Spiritual Corpse in her hands.
In her previous life, she had already made preparations for this life. She had set up altars in countless places to cultivate Spirit Corpses that would accept her memory inheritance. Although she had only chosen one in the end, those altars had all been left behind.
To cultivate the Spiritual Corpses that were compatible with her, she had sealed a drop of her Essence Blood in each altar. When Li Mu had forced her out of the Ghost Domain, she had felt the aura of her Essence Blood at the border of the Ghost Domain.
Following this aura, she had easily found the Spiritual Corpse.
At first glance, Xuan Ming had guessed the connection between this Spiritual Corpse and the female ghost by Li Mu's side. She had conveniently taken her away to deal with today's situation.
Li Mu held the Sun Shooting Bow. He could shoot Xuan Ming to death. However, before that, she would destroy the Spiritual Corpse that Su He had turned into.
Xuan Ming looked at Li Mu and said, "Give me all the Heavenly Scriptures. Otherwise, I will kill her."
Li Mu looked at her as if she was an idiot and asked, "Do you think it's possible?"
Xuan Ming frowned and said, "Give me back the Heavenly Scriptures you stole from the Holy Sect."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "You can't threaten me."
Xuan Ming's sharp fingernails scratched Su He's Spiritual Corpse's neck, leaving some shallow marks. She said, "Then you should collect her corpse."
Li Mu wasn't moved. With an indifferent face, he said, "You can do whatever you want. You kill her, and I will kill you. It's revenge for her."
Xuan Ming frowned. "You don't want to save her?"
Li Mu asked back, "Why should I save her?"
Xuan Ming said, "She's the one you like. She and that woman have the same origin. They look exactly the same."
Li Mu looked at her and said indifferently, "Shallow. The appearance is only the appearance. The inner beauty is the real beauty. If you really like someone, you shouldn't just like her appearance. Besides, I already have one with such an appearance. What's the point of having another one? Is she worth exchanging the Heavenly Scriptures for?"
Although Xuan Ming had cultivated for ten thousand years and had rich experience in fights of magical powers, she knew nothing about the relationship between men and women.
The bodies that she inherited the memories from were all adult women. Their memories were erased. After receiving her inheritance, only battles and expansion accompanied them.
She thought that the reason why Li Mu would yield was because of the memories about Ao Qing from thousands of years ago.
Ao Qing had many companions. Not only were there sisters who looked similar, but there were also female cultivators who had the same origin as Ao Qing. Li Mu's temperament was very similar to Ao Qing's to a large extent. She thought that Li Mu would yield because of this, but she realized that she was wrong.
At this moment, Li Mu looked at Xuan Ming and said, "Or, you can choose to let her go. I will let you go."
There was only Li Mu and the ghost servant. It was not realistic to keep Xuan Ming and these people. It was better to exchange for Su He's Spiritual Corpse, which could solve one of her worries.
Li Mu's words made Xuan Ming sink into contemplation.
Apparently, in Li Mu's heart, the Heavenly Book was more important than the woman's Spiritual Corpse. And this Spiritual Corpse was more important than her. If Li Mu didn't care about this Spiritual Corpse, one arrow could destroy her ten thousand years of effort. At that time, although Xuan Ming's spiritual power would be exhausted, the ghost servant could protect him and retreat safely.
Xuan Ming pondered for a while and suddenly pushed Su He's Spiritual Corpse towards Li Mu.
Then, he led the few people beside him and fled towards the south.
Li Mu couldn't chase after Xuan Ming because Su He's Spiritual Corpse was unconscious. Her body was burning red. Before Xuan Ming left, he had planted the Corpse Fire Poison in her body. If Li Mu didn't care about her and went to chase after Xuan Ming, she would be burned to ashes by the Corpse Fire Poison from the inside out.
She was worthy of being one of the few old monsters who had lived for ten thousand years. She only used this trick to delay Li Mu.
Li Mu held the Spiritual Corpse. Her eyebrows and hair were covered with white frost. Her body was gradually frozen. However, the ice layer close to her body quickly melted into water and then condensed again. Li Mu kept dispersing the Corpse Fire in her body and said to the ghost servant, "Let's go back first."
He held the Spiritual Corpse and disappeared in a flash.
At this time, Xuan Ming's face was as cold as ice among the figures who were rushing to the South Sea.
Because of Li Mu's appearance, the operation led by her had failed again.
Every time she met Li Mu, he would become stronger. Now, in terms of spiritual power, he wasn't weaker than her. With the Sun Shooting Bow, even she had to run away.
Unknowingly, Li Mu's threat to the Sage Sect had surpassed Xuanzong. He had become their biggest enemy.
After returning to the Ghost Island, she went straight to the high tower in the center.
Not long after, on the high tower of the Ghost Island, the Third Forefather heard Xuan Ming's words and slowly opened her closed eyes. She said, "Whether it's Xuanzong or Li Mu, don't worry about them. The two Senior Brothers are about to come out. You should also immediately go into seclusion to increase your cultivation. The curtain is about to open …"
Xuan Ming's face was filled with joy. "Senior Brothers have finally come out!"
The Third Forefather nodded. Then, she looked at the horizon and said in a low voice, "We have waited for ten thousand years for this day. Tian Jizi, let's see how you will stop them when the time comes!"
Soon, Xuan Ming flew out of the high tower. She looked at the man in black and said, "Ao Xuan's Sun Shooting Bow is in Li Mu's hands. You know what to do, right?"
The man in black nodded and said, "I will return to the clan and inform the elders …"
