After kidnapping Emperor Bai, Li Mu felt more confident.
Even if a war broke out in the future, the three experts of Diabolism would be restrained. An Eighth Realm Diabolism ancestor would not be able to participate in the battle of the Seventh Realm.
In a war involving several Eighth Realm experts and dozens of Nirvana Realm experts, Dongxuan's cultivation would not be of much use. Most of the First Seats of the various sects stayed in their sects and did not come.
Li Mu asked Ting Xin and Yin Xin to bring Liu Hanyan, Li Qing, Wanwan, and Xiao Bai to the East Sea Dragon Palace. Diabolism's actions were unpredictable. They could not do anything to Li Mu and might attack his family before the war. The Dragon Palace of the Four Seas in the deep sea was a place that Diabolism could not reach.
Li Mu's body entered the Flask Space again and unlocked the Immortal Binding Lock on Xuan Ming. Her spiritual power had been sealed. In front of Li Mu, she was no different from an ordinary girl.
Li Mu looked at her and said, "Where is the token of the Ghost Island?"
Xuan Ming looked at him indifferently and sneered, "Do you think I will give it to you?"
Li Mu glanced at Xuan Ming. Experts of this level would have their own Flask Space. Normally, they would store their items in the Flask Space. Unless she opened it herself, no one could enter.
According to Xuan Ming's character, forcing her would not work. Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your purpose is to find the Tomes of Arcane, reopen the Gate of Heaven, enter the Taoyuan, and obtain eternal life. This is what we want. Since we have the same purpose, why do we have to fight to the death? Isn't it better to gather all the Tomes of Arcane together and enter the Taoyuan together?"
In ten thousand years, Diabolism had done many evil things on the continent. Not long ago, millions of people had died in their hands. Although Li Mu also wanted to eradicate them and return peace to the Ten Continents, the truth was that Diabolism was not a pushover. The result of the war between the Righteous and Diabolism would only be a lose-lose situation.
Even with Emperor Bai's help, the chances of victory between the two forces were only 50-50.
Perhaps the Righteous path would win, or perhaps the Demonic path would win, but either result would bring about a calamity that would engulf the Ten Continents. Countless experts would fall, and even if the Righteous path won, their vitality would be greatly damaged. They would need hundreds or thousands of years to recover, and their inheritances might even be severed.
If possible, Li Mu still hoped to avoid this war.
Xuan Ming didn't say anything, but she wasn't silent. Li Mu could see that she was thinking.
After a long time, Xuan Ming asked, "How many pages do you have?"
Li Mu: "Including the ones we took from Ghost Island, 14 pages."
Then, he asked, "How many pages do you have?"
Xuan Ming contemplated for a while and then said, "Seven pages."
There were 24 pages in the complete Heavenly Book. Li Mu had 14 pages, and the Demonic Path had seven pages. They were only three pages away from the complete Heavenly Book to uncover the secret behind the door. Both the Demonic Path and Li Mu had the same purpose.
Li Mu looked at Xuan Ming, who was thinking, and said, "What do you think? I have twice as many Heavenly Books as you have. If we cooperate, you won't lose out. You will even gain an advantage."
Xuan Ming was tempted. But at this moment, the scene of the destruction of the Sage Sect ten thousand years ago flashed in front of her eyes again. Her parents, Master, and fellow disciples had all died in the war with the Demonic Beasts. In exchange, they had been betrayed by the Righteous Path.
Pain flashed in her eyes, and her eyes gradually became sharp. She said coldly, "So what if you have 14 pages of the Tomes of Arcane? Soon, we will capture you, and all the Tomes of Arcane will be ours. You insidious and cunning people, the Sage Sect will never cooperate with you!"
Xuan Ming was so stubborn. Li Mu didn't say much to her. He tied her up again with the Holy Binding Chains and then left.
The Ancestors of the Demonic Path obviously didn't just want to reopen the Gate of Heaven. They also wanted to take revenge and destroy all the orthodoxies of the Righteous Path. This also almost cut off the possibility of cooperation with them.
It seemed that the possibility of this war being avoided was very small.
Li Mu sighed and suddenly looked up into the distance. In the distant sky, a white dragon came with the wind. Three figures stood at the front and the back of the dragon's head. They were the Empress, Ah Li, and Mr. Mei.
Li Mu turned into a stream of light and instantly landed on Cheng Xin's body.
Zhou Yi coughed softly, indicating that there were many outsiders here. When there were outsiders, she always kept a distance from Li Mu. Even though everyone in the world knew about his relationship with the Empress, except for Ah Li, Mr. Mei, and a few others, no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.
Li Mu didn't keep a distance from her this time. Instead, he naturally held her hand.
The catastrophe of the Ten Continents was coming. If they didn't take this opportunity to show off their love in front of everyone, they might not have another chance in the future.
At this time, several figures flew up from the palace of this small country.
When they saw the Empress, they all saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Although she was still very young, as the Empress of the Great Zhou, her strength was also one of the top in the continent. The leaders of the Six Sects, the Highest Elders, and the experts from all sides still maintained a high level of respect in front of her.
Zhou Yi and Li Mu held hands tightly. She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Li Mu. She knew what he was thinking. Shyness flashed in her eyes, but her face showed the majesty of the Empress. She said, "Seniors, please don't stand on ceremony."
Li Mu smiled at the crowd and said, "I'll take Her Majesty to rest."
After that, he held the Empress's hand and flew down with Mr. Mei and Ah Li to a palace that had been prepared for her.
In the sky, Fu Daozi stroked his white beard and said, "My disciple really brings honor to the sect …"
The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty was rich and beautiful, and she also had strength that no one present could compare to. For a cultivator with such status and strength to be willing to fall in love with someone like an ordinary woman, it was an unbelievable thing.
However, when they thought about it carefully, it seemed that only a woman like her, who had surpassed the older generation at such a young age, was worthy of him. In other words, they were a good match for each other.
While the crowd was whispering, several rainbows appeared in the distant sky again.
Four extremely beautiful women were carrying a palanquin. Behind them were countless figures. Sensing the demonic aura that swept over, someone said, "The Empress of 10,000 Demons is also here …"
As the ruler of the Demon Country, the Empress of 10,000 Demons also had the most distinguished status on the continent. Therefore, the crowd decided not to go back. When the palanquin flew closer, a graceful figure walked out of the palanquin. The crowd bowed again, "Greetings, Empress of 10,000 Demons."
Huan Ji revealed a charming smile and said, "Seniors, you're welcome."
After she finished speaking, her eyes scanned the surroundings. It was obvious that she was looking for someone.
Somewhere in the palace below, Li Mu hadn't spoken much with the Empress when he sensed Huan Ji's aura coming from outside. He looked at the Empress. Zhou Yi glanced at him indifferently and said, "Go."
Huan Ji waited outside for a while. Then, another figure flew out of the palace. She took the initiative to reach out her hand to Li Mu as if she was declaring her sovereignty.
Li Mu held her hand and smiled at the crowd. He said, "Erm, I'll bring the Empress to rest. Everyone, please …"
Fu Daozi was proud when he saw the two figures disappear. He puffed out his chest and laughed, "It's a waste of youth if he's not romantic. Other than my disciple, who else has such ability …"
"I heard that the Empress of 10,000 Demons and Martial Nephew Ling Jizi are dao companions. I didn't expect the rumors to be true."
"If not, why would the Demon Country ally with the Great Zhou?"
"It's said that the Master of the Ghost Realm is also one of his dao companions. Could it be true?"
While everyone was discussing in low voices, a black fog suddenly floated over from the northwest. The Yin Qi in the fog was oppressive, and after it dissipated, a dozen or so figures could be seen within it.
Most of the auras were at the Seventh Realm. Moreover, they were all soul bodies. Different from the ghost cultivators, they stood behind the two figures with wooden expressions like the most loyal guards.
The two women at the front looked exactly the same. One of them emitted the aura of the Seventh Realm.
When the four Ghost Kings saw this, they immediately flew forward and knelt on one knee. They said respectfully, "Greetings, Ghost Lord!"
This was the first time everyone saw the mysterious Master of the Ghost Realm. Just as they were about to go forward and greet her, a familiar light flew up from below. It was Li Mu.
When Su Miao saw Li Mu, she immediately flew up and held Li Mu's arm tightly with one hand. She reached out with the other hand and said, "Candy!"
After spending some time together, Li Mu's position in her heart was second only to Su He. Li Mu suspected that this was because he was the only one in the Ghost Realm who would play with her and often give her candy.
On the way back, Li Mu notified Empress Huan Ji and Su He. He didn't expect them to come together, so he was a little busy. He looked at the strange gazes of the people around him and hid his embarrassment with a smile. He said, "I'll take good care of the Ghost Lord. Everyone, disperse …"
