The situation at the West Sea was in a stalemate.
Even though You Quan and Yuan Luo had the advantage in numbers, Li Mu and Tian Jizi were not to be trifled with. The existence of the Sun Shooting Bow in particular made You Quan and Yuan Luo wary.
The Sun Shooting Bow's power was limited in Li Mu's hands.
However, if it was controlled by Tian Jizi, even You Quan would not dare to take it head-on. There was a 90% chance that he would die on the spot if Tian Jizi used all his strength. If that arrow was shot at Yuan Luo, Yuan Luo, who had yet to advance, would definitely die.
Ten thousand years ago, they had dozens of Senior and Junior Brothers. Now, there were only four of them left.
The death of any one of them was something they could not accept.
The two sides faced each other from a distance, and the surroundings were deathly silent. After a while, Tian Jizi spoke first.
He looked at You Quan and Yuan Luo and said, "The fish in the West Sea are too small. It's boring to fish. If there's nothing else, we'll go back first …"
You Quan and Yuan Luo did not speak. Tian Jizi looked at Li Mu with a smile and said, "Little friend Li Mu, let's go."
After saying that, he turned and flew to the east.
Li Mu glanced at the Demonic Path crowd and followed behind Tian Jizi, leaving together with him.
Beside Yuan Luo, a black-clothed man asked in confusion, "Sirs, are we just going to let them go?"
Yuan Luo and You Quan ignored him. They knew very well that the moment Tian Jizi appeared, they would not be able to do anything to Li Mu today.
As one of the most difficult enemies of the Sage Sect in the past ten thousand years, Tian Jizi's reputation was not undeserved.
You Quan spat out a mouthful of turbid air and said, "There's no need to rush to deal with Tian Jizi. Senior Brother Xuan Tian has already returned to Ghost Island. When he finishes his seclusion, Tian Jizi will no longer be a threat. Senior Brother Yuan Luo, come back with me."
Yuan Luo nodded and ordered the people behind him, "Gather all the Elders above the Sixth Realm and return to the South Sea with me. The day I come out of seclusion will be the day I sweep through the Ten Continents …"
At this time, above the West Sea.
Li Mu looked at Tian Jizi's hunched back and asked, "Why did you save me?"
Tian Jizi smiled and said, "This old man already said that I only came to the Western Sea to fish and happened to run into you. Moreover, do you really need this old man to save you? Even if I don't do anything, the victor between you and Nether Spring is still between 40% and 60%. I'm afraid even Nether Spring himself doesn't know about this …"
Li Mu's pupils shrank. Tian Jizi's divination skills were more powerful than he had imagined.
Not only was he able to predict Li Mu's movements and the dangers he was about to encounter, he was even able to predict the outcome of the battle between him and You Quan. What else did he not know?
Li Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "Senior Tian Jizi, there's no need to show off your divination skills. Junior wants to know why you saved me again and again."
Tian Jizi was silent for a while before he turned to look at him and said: "In the future, the Ten Continents can exist without me, but it can't exist without you."
Li Mu knew that Tian Jizi must have predicted something, so he asked, "Why?"
Tian Jizi shook his head and said, "This old man only predicted that the catastrophe of the Ten Continents would come, and you are the only hope of the Ten Continents. Anyone can die in the Ten Continents, but you can't."
Li Mu pondered again and asked, "When did you predict this?"
Tian Jizi said, "From the first time you stepped into Xuanzong."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, "Then why did you allow Dao Cheng Zi to cover for Qing Cheng Zi and deliberately let Xuanzong become enemies with Fu-lu School?"
Li Mu didn't understand. Since Tian Jizi had already predicted this, why didn't he tell him directly? Instead, he let him and Xuanzong become enemies. In two years, Xuanzong was reduced to such a state. What was he planning?
Tian Jizi looked at Li Mu and asked, "If Xuanzong had handed over Qing Cheng Zi, little friend Li Mu, what would you have done in these two years?"
Li Mu blurted out, "I …"
Just as he said this word, Li Mu froze in place.
He didn't know how to answer Tian Jizi's question for a moment.
Of course, Tian Jizi knew himself well. If Xuanzong had handed over Qing Cheng Zi, Xiao Bai would have been avenged, and the knot in her heart would have been untied. Perhaps she would have taken the initiative to give herself to him two years ago. In the beginning, Li Mu would have fallen into the gentle embrace of the little fox.
Without the goal of avenging her, Li Mu naturally wouldn't have joined forces with the Five Daoist Sects. Perhaps to this day, he would still be Fu-lu School's hands-off manager. He wouldn't have cultivated desperately, thought of ways to improve the strength of the sect, and joined forces with the forces that could be joined …
He would have had enough time to talk about love with the Empress. Their relationship would have been one step closer than it was now, or even two or three steps closer. He would often wander around the Divine Capital, the Demon Nation, and Mount Baiyun. Where would he find the time to cultivate?
Immersed in the gentle embrace for two years, let alone transcend, he probably wouldn't even have the motivation to break through Dongxuan.
Li Mu looked at Tian Jizi in shock and asked, "This is your goal?"
Tian Jizi asked, "What else could it be? Other than hatred, what else could make you do all this today?"
Li Mu thought about it and realized that there really wasn't anything. Xiao Bai was Li Mu's darling. Li Mu didn't want her to suffer any grievances, let alone the hatred of the extermination of his clan. If Tian Jizi had told him that the catastrophe of the Ten Continents was coming and he was the only savior, Li Mu would most likely have thought that he had dementia.
To think that he had even calculated this ….
This old fellow really knew him well …
Li Mu's face turned red, and he felt extremely awkward. He immediately changed the topic and said, "What catastrophe are you talking about? Is it the rise of the Demon Path?"
Tian Jizi shook his head and said, "I can only see a trace of the heavenly secrets. I can't see the specifics."
In recent days, millions of people had died in Yanzhou and Juku Continent. Corpses were everywhere, and the people were in a terrible situation. This was already considered the catastrophe of the Ten Continents. If Yuan Luo and the Demon Path's First Ancestor used this opportunity to advance, how could the Righteous Path's only Tian Jizi, who was at the Eighth Level, contend against them?
At that time, the Ten Continents would completely fall into the hands of the Demon Path.
This matter corresponded to the catastrophe that Tian Jizi had predicted.
Li Mu heaved a long sigh of relief and continued to ask, "What should I do?"
Tian Jizi shook his head and said, "I don't know. You have to ask yourself about this matter."
Li Mu didn't know what he should do at this moment.
He had already done what he could. Combining all the forces that could be combined to resist the Demon Path was all he could do.
However, this still didn't change the fact that the Demon Path was about to have three Eighth Level cultivators.
Among the Demon Path's Third Ancestor, Tian Jizi could deal with one, and Li Mu could barely stop the other. However, what about the last one?
After advancing to the Eighth Level, one would be able to expand one's domain. Those with lower cultivation than him would not be able to mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth within a certain range.
For cultivators, if they couldn't mobilize the power of Heaven and Earth, they could only use about 50% of their full strength. Even if ten people joined forces, they might not be a match for the last Eighth Level Demon Path's First Ancestor.
Of course, if dozens of people ganged up on him and didn't borrow the power of Heaven and Earth, they would be able to fight against the Eighth Level Demon Path's First Ancestor with just their own magic power. They might even be able to kill the Eighth Level Demon Path's First Ancestor.
However, at least half of the dozens of people ganging up on him would be killed. This was something that Li Mu absolutely could not accept.
Moreover, the Demon Path didn't only have the Third Ancestor. The number of Seventh Level cultivators in the three Great Altars added together might not be as many as Li Mu's alliance, but it wouldn't be much less. If everyone joined forces to deal with You Quan, who would deal with the Demon Path's First Ancestor?
Li Mu could also give the Sun Shooting Bow to Tian Jizi. This seemed like a good idea, but the problem was that Tian Jizi could kill an Eighth Level Demon Path's First Ancestor at the cost of exhausting all his magic power. At that time, the remaining two Eighth Level Demon Path's First Ancestor could easily kill him.
This was nothing more than a one-for-one exchange between Tian Jizi and the Demon Path. Even if Li Mu was willing, Tian Jizi probably wouldn't be willing.
At present, the only way was to kill the First Ancestor and Second Ancestor of the Demon Path before they broke through to the Seventh Level. This way, finding the Ghost Island would become the most important thing.
The Ghost Island was located in the depths of the sea and was difficult to find. Moreover, there were countless Demon Path's First Ancestor guarding it. Apart from Tian Jizi, anyone who went to the Ghost Island would be sending themselves to their deaths.
Unless the one searching for the Ghost Island wasn't a human …
Half a day later, at White Cloud Mountain.
Ao Feng heard Li Mu's words and shook his head repeatedly. He firmly said, "No, the lives of our Dragon Race are also lives. What's the difference between finding the Demon Path's lair and rushing to our deaths?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "When you find the Ghost Island, I'll extend your lifespan."
Ao Feng's expression gradually turned solemn. He righteously said, "Leave this matter to us. Our Dragon Race is also a peace-loving race. The Demon Path's evil deeds are unforgivable. We and the Demon Path are absolutely irreconcilable!"
