The county guard and the county lieutenant left first. King Chu Jiang caused a great commotion in the county town tonight, and they needed to calm the people.
Xuandu and the White Demon King also left temporarily.
Before leaving, they all poured a little magic power into Li Mu's body to heal his injuries.
When Xiaoyu left, she winked at Li Mu, meaning that she would not expose him. Only she and Li Mu knew that in fact, the power of heaven and earth activated by that Taoist technique was not enough to break the Eighteen Hell Formation.
of.
However, the Tao Te Ching is Li Mu's biggest trump card. He has relied on it to survive two fatal situations. It is absolutely impossible to show it to others.
Although the half-truths and half-false reasons he fabricated had some flaws, others had no way of verifying them.
Returning to the county government office, Chen Juncheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so dangerous. The most correct thing I did in recent days was to transfer Li Mu to the county government office. If it weren't for his quick wit, he would have broken the formation."
, stopped King Chu Jiang’s conspiracy and saved the people of the city, how can you and I have the face to face His Majesty and the people of Beijun after tonight?"
Sheriff Lin looked at him and asked, "Does Mr. Chen really believe that Li Mu cursed the sky to break the Eighteen Hell Formation of King Chu Jiang?"
Chen Juncheng smiled and said: "Everyone has a secret. The crisis in the county has been eliminated. How does he break the formation? Does it matter?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Sheriff Lin said: "Whether Lord Chen believes it or not, I believe it."
Chen Juncheng laughed and said, "I believe it too..."
Tonight in Beijun County is a sleepless night for both the government and the people.
The bloody sky and the scurrying evil spirits make countless people tremble with fear when they think of it.
No one knows what happened specifically, but they vaguely learned from the officials that there was a demon who wanted to sacrifice blood to the people of the county and city, but was eventually stopped by the officials. The plan did not succeed, and the people of the city were able to escape.
Now, the evil spirit has been killed by the county guard and the county magistrate together, and the people in the city are no longer in danger of their lives.
…
Li Mu got up from the bed, the mana in his body had recovered somewhat.
Only a few people know the truth about what happened tonight, and the Beijun government will not publicize the fact that he stopped King Chu Jiang's conspiracy and saved the people of the county.
This is to protect him, otherwise, in the following days, Li Mu will become an important target of the Demon Sect.
He walked out of the room and wanted to see Bai Yinxin, but learned that the Bai Yinxin sisters had been taken away by the White Demon King.
Bai Yinxin saved Li Mu at a critical moment and was injured by Li Mu. Counting the last misunderstanding, this was the second time Li Mu was seriously injured. This made Li Mu feel indebted and wanted to help her treat her again.
, but she has already left.
It was late at night, the moonlight was bright, and no one in the yard was sleepy.
Li Mu held the prototype of Xiaobai, Liu Hanyan and Wanwan held him on the left and right, and sat in the yard, looking at the moon above their heads.
Liu Hanyan rested his head on Li Mu's shoulder and suddenly said: "Are we too weak? At the critical moment, we can't help you at all..."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "The enemy is too strong."
The world of cultivation is very cruel. The enemies you encounter during soul refining are rarely in the realm of soul refining or gathering of gods. Many times you have to face powerful people with supernatural powers. Even ordinary people may be involved in the conspiracy of fortune or Dongxuan practitioners.
, and became a ghost who died in vain.
In the past six months, Li Mu has seen too many such things.
Master Qianhuan's words actually make sense. Weak people have no right to choose in this world.
Liu Hanyan's cultivation level is actually not weak. He is already comparable to Han Zhe and other sect disciples. He just met King Chu Jiang.
Not to mention her, even the Beijun government, which had two powerful men of fortune, almost fell into the hands of King Chu Jiang.
Li Mu patted her shoulder lightly and comforted: "Don't think too much, go to bed early..."
…
They went to bed very late last night. Neither Liu Hanyan nor Wanwan slept well, but Li Mu slept soundly.
The double exhaustion of his mental and physical strength allowed him to sleep until noon. After waking up, he felt refreshed. Although the injuries in his body were still serious, he only needed to calm down and nurse himself back to health.
Liu Hanyan went out with the vegetable basket and came back soon, but the basket was empty.
She said with some distress: "There is no one on the street, the shops are closed, and there are no vegetables in the vegetable market..."
Something like that happened last night. Although there were no actual casualties among the people, I'm afraid most of them are still in shock. It will take at least a few days before the original order in the city can be restored.
When Li Mu went out, he saw that all the shops were closed. As Liu Hanyan said, at a glance, there were not many pedestrians in the originally bustling street.
The people living in the county and town have been stable for a lifetime, and this is probably the first time they have encountered such a thing.
There were only thirty-six counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so it was really audacious for the King of Chujiang to dare to target a county and city under the nose of the Fulu Sect's ancestral court.
Perhaps because of the importance of the county town, no one guessed that he would choose the county town before. King Chu Jiang did the opposite. Once he was successfully promoted, even if the Fu Lu Sect wanted to capture him, it would not be that easy.
Li Mu walked along the street towards the county government office.
A woman in palace clothes was walking on an empty street, stopped a passerby, and asked: "What happened here? Why are none of the shops along the street open, and there are no pedestrians on the street..."
"have no idea……"
The passerby looked horrified when he remembered what happened last night, shook his head, and left quickly.
The woman in palace clothes looked around suspiciously, counted with her fingers, and murmured: "The power of heaven and earth is in chaos, and nothing can be calculated. It seems that the source of the crack in the Dao Bell is here..."
After walking for a while, she met another passerby. She stopped him and asked, "Excuse me, what happened in the county and why is the city like this?"
The woman in palace clothes in front of me is obviously from the Fu Lu Sect.
Above the left breast of her palace skirt, there is a mysterious rune, which is the mark of the Fulu Sect.
It seems that what happened last night has alarmed the Fu Lu Sect. Even if Li Mu doesn't tell her, she can still find out from the county government.
Li Mu couldn't see through this woman's cultivation at all, which meant that she was at least a strong person in creation. Li Mu coughed lightly and said, "Senior, King Chu Jiang, one of the ten palaces of Yama under the Demon Sect's Netherworld Saint King."
, the eighteen hell formations were set up in the county last night, and they wanted to sacrifice the people of the county and advance to the sixth realm. The people of the county and city were disturbed by the King of Chujiang last night, so they were so panicked..."
"Eighteen Hell Arrays!"
The woman in palace clothes showed a look of shock on her face and asked: "The Eighteen Hell Formation requires eighteen soul-level ghost cultivators to set up. Once the formation is successfully set up, it can trap the cave to death. Someone set it up here last night."
Fallen into the Eighteen Hell Formations?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "The situation in the county was very dangerous last night. The people in the city were almost sacrificed by King Chu Jiang..."
The woman in palace clothes looked disbelieving and said: "If someone really sets up the Eighteen Hell Formation, it will be impossible to break it without two or more Dongxuan strong men. How did the county government break this formation?"
Li Mu said leisurely: "I have to mention the unsung hero..."
After a while, the woman in palace attire had already inquired about the situation in the county town last night from Li Mu. She took out a talisman and handed it to Li Mu, saying: "Thank you for clarifying the confusion. I will give this talisman to you..."
Li Mu took the talisman and his eyes lit up.
This is actually an earth-level talisman. Judging from the runes on it, it is an earth-level sword talisman. Although it looks like it is only a low-grade earth-level talisman, it can kill anyone under the realm of creation with one sword.
This talisman is of little use to Li Mu and can be left to Liu Hanyan for self-defense.
As expected, he was an expert from the Fulu Sect, and he was much more generous than the county government. Li Muzhen was about to thank him, but when he looked up, the woman in palace clothes had disappeared.
Li Mu happily put away the talisman and saw Li Si and Chen Miaomiao walking hand in hand.
Li Si stepped forward and asked, "I heard from my father-in-law that you were injured, are you okay?"
Li Mu said: "A little injury doesn't matter."
Chen Juncheng obviously did not reveal anything more to Li Si. The three of them walked all the way to the county government office. Before they stepped in, they heard conversations coming from the courtyard.
In the front yard of the county government office, Sheriff Lin saluted the woman in palace clothes and said, "I have seen Taoist Priest Yu Zhenzi."
The woman in palace clothes smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, Lord Sheriff."
After the greetings, Sheriff Lin asked: "I wonder what important business Master Yuzhenzi has come to visit?"
The woman in palace attire said: "I have just heard about what happened in the county last night. This is why I came down the mountain on the order of my senior brother."
Sheriff Lin sighed: "The master who teaches Taoism and Taoism is far away in Baiyun Mountain, but he can still be involved in Beijun."
"That's not the case." The woman in palace clothes shook her head and said: "Yesterday, a new Taoist technique was born in Beijun, which caused cracks in the Taoist bell. Pindao came down the mountain this time because of the damage to the Taoist bell. Now look
Come on, the damage to the bell on the main peak of Baiyun Mountain should be related to what happened in the county last night..."
Li Si stood at the door of the yamen, looked back at Li Mu, and asked, "Why are you standing outside? Why don't you go in?"
Li Mu forced a smile on his face and said: "You go in first, I suddenly remembered that I came out to buy groceries, I will go buy groceries first..."
