After hearing Li Mu's words, the girl indeed walked towards Wu Bo.
Li Mu took this opportunity to slip away quickly. From afar, he could feel two strong waves of mana coming from behind him. Then, a white shadow flew over Li Mu's head and headed out of the city.
"Demon, where do you think you're going!"
Wu Bo's body was fat, but his movements were not slow at all. He followed closely behind the snake demon and chased out of the city.
Although Wu Bo was also at the third realm, he was the grandson of an elder of the Fu-lu School. He definitely knew a few dao techniques and had a few powerful Fu-lu cards. Even a fourth realm demon cultivator might not be able to gain much of an advantage against him.
Li Mu was looking forward to it. It would be best if Wu Bo could subdue that demon, so that she would not find trouble with him in the future.
The dwarf who helped the Zhao family commit evil, as well as the lizard spirit, were all up to no good. That snake demon was on the same side as them, so she was definitely not a good demon. Li Mu would not show any mercy to the fairer sex.
Li Mu returned to the county office. An hour later, he saw Wu Bo return with a gloomy face.
His clothes were somewhat tattered, and he was limping. Half of his face was purple, obviously poisoned.
As he walked, he cursed angrily, "Damned snake demon, don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I'll skin you and take your meat to make soup!"
A gentleman takes his revenge from morning till night.
Seeing Wu Bo's miserable state, Li Mu felt much better.
This damned fatty dared to use underhanded means against him, and even dared to snatch from him …
Li Mu coughed and hurriedly threw those thoughts to the back of his mind.
Constable Zhou walked out of his room. When he saw Wu Bo, he was shocked and asked, "What happened? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Wu Bo's face was gloomy as he said, "I met a transformed snake demon. I chased her out of the city and fought with her for a long time. In the end, I still let her escape!"
Constable Zhou was aware of Wu Bo's strength and could not help but ask in surprise, "What's so formidable about that snake demon, to actually be able to escape from your hands?"
"Let's not talk about this for now." Wu Bo looked at Constable Zhou and said, "The snake demon's venom is extraordinary. Even I can't resist it directly. There are no pills in the Yamen that can dispel poison and heal wounds. The snake demon has been severely injured by me and can't run far. It must be hiding somewhere to heal its wounds. After I dispel the snake venom in my body, I'll go look for it. When I find it, I'll personally extract its soul and refine it!"
The fact that the snake demon was able to escape from Wu Bo's grasp was somewhat out of Li Mu's expectations.
He returned to the duty room and carefully analyzed the possibility that the snake demon had found out about him.
Although only Su He knew that he had killed the lizard demon, if the lizard demon was able to find out about him through the Zhao family's matter, the snake demon might be able to do the same.
Li Mu did not have Wu Bo's ability. Without Su He by his side, he was no match for the transformed snake demon.
As the saying goes, take her life when she's sick. The snake demon had been injured by Wu Bo and was at its weakest. If Li Mu could find her, he could not only get rid of the scourge for the people, but also get rid of the hidden danger for himself. He could also take her spirit to cultivate. It was simply killing three birds with one stone …
When Wu Bo fought, Li Mu would take advantage of the situation. This was to prevent him from benefiting when Wu Bo's injuries were healed.
Li Mu was naturally no match for the snake demon in its peak condition. However, the same could not be said for a severely injured snake demon.
Even if he could not defeat it, Li Mu could still run away.
After checking his inventory of Spirit Travel Talismans, Li Mu slipped out of the yamen. He followed the direction that the snake demon had fled and chased it out of the county.
The Demon Hunting Talisman in his hand emitted a faint light and guided Li Mu to a forest outside the city.
The forest was a mess. There were fallen trees everywhere. There were countless large pits on the ground, with wisps of black smoke still rising from them.
It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here not long ago.
The Demon Hunting Talisman was useless here. If he continued forward, he would be deep in the mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles. There were countless low-level demons in the mountains. An ordinary Demon Hunting Talisman could not accurately find the injured snake demon.
Li Mu searched the ground and finally found a white scale.
The scale was very small. Li Mu wrapped the snake scale in the Demon Hunting Talisman. He folded the Fu-lu into the shape of a paper crane and threw it into the air. The paper crane slowly flapped its wings and flew in a certain direction in the mountains.
Without the snake demon's scale, the Demon Hunting Talisman would lose its effect in a place where there were many low-level demons.
However, with the snake demon's scale, it could lock onto the snake demon's aura and find her location.
Li Mu followed the Demon Hunting Talisman and traveled through the mountains. As long as he did not go too deep, he did not have to worry about encountering powerful demons.
According to Wu Bo, the snake demon had been severely injured by him and could not have run far. If not for Wu Bo being poisoned and not daring to delay, Li Mu would not have had the chance to pick up the loot today.
The Demon Hunting Talisman flew for only fifteen minutes before it stopped somewhere in the mountains.
Li Mu stopped in his tracks. He was on high alert and secretly stuck two Spirit Travel Talismans on his legs.
He stood on a tree and looked down. After looking around a few times, he finally found a white figure in the grass.
Li Mu walked over carefully and saw the girl he had seen just now lying in the grass, motionless.
He held the Baiyi Sword tightly and walked over step by step. The girl in the grass was still motionless.
Li Mu raised his sword but did not bring it down for a long time.
Although he knew that the other party was a snake demon, what he saw was a girl about the same age as Wanwan. Li Mu could not bring his sword down no matter how hard he tried.
A human's life was a life, and a demon's life was also a life.
As a bailiff, Li Mu could not treat a human's life like grass, and similarly, he could not treat a demon's life like grass.
He decided to make things clear first.
If she really was an evil demon who had done all kinds of evil, it would not be too late to get rid of her then.
Li Mu picked up the branch again and poked the girl's butt, saying, "Wake up …"
The girl frowned and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Li Mu, her expression became angry and she shouted, "So it was you. You lied to me!"
She used her hands to support her body and struggled to sit up, but she fell back into the grass.
Seeing that she was seriously injured and could not even stand up, Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Let me ask you a question."
The girl looked at Li Mu with a fierce gaze and said coldly, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Mu thought for a while and threatened, "If you don't speak, I'll take off your clothes first …"
This sentence was clearly more threatening than killing her. A trace of fear appeared on the girl's face and she said angrily, "You dare!"
Li Mu did not waste any more words with her and asked directly, "Why are you looking for the dwarf and the lizard?"
"You really have seen them before!" The girl clenched her silver teeth and said hatefully, "Father was right. Humans are all liars. I shouldn't have believed you!"
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Hurry up and speak!"
The girl was clearly worried that Li Mu would do something overboard to her. She closed her eyes and said, "They are my subordinates, but they broke the rules of my subordinates and harmed people everywhere. I want to find them and clean them up …"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "You still want to lie to me …"
The girl looked at him with disdain and said, "Only you humans would lie."
Li Mu asked suspiciously, "You really didn't lie to me?"
The girl snorted coldly. "If I lie to you, I'm a dog."
Li Mu said, "Swear."
Worried that Li Mu would really take off her clothes, the girl pointed to the sky and said, "If I lied, then let me become a dog."
Humans had seven souls. After cultivation and refining, the seven souls and seven emotions would be hidden in the body and not appear outside. Although demons also had souls, because they did not know how to refine their souls, Li Mu could see the emotions of demons that had taken human form.
When the girl was swearing, Li Mu used his Heavenly Eye and did not find any fluctuations in her emotions.
This meant that she was not lying.
Li Mu awkwardly put away Baiyi and said, "Miss, if I say that this is all a misunderstanding …"
The girl did not respond. After saying these words to Li Mu, she used up all her strength and fainted again.
"What a sin …"
Li Mu almost wronged a good demon. He wanted to slap himself. He sighed, walked over, picked up the girl, and slowly walked out of the mountain …
Bay of Clearwater, in a small house covered by an illusion.
Su He was reading when she saw Li Mu carrying a girl in. She said in surprise, "What did you do to this snake?"
