Li Mu returned to his room gloomily, never expecting that his great reputation would be ruined by the spies of the Mei Sect.
What surprised him even more was that the Mei Sect's spies were able to find out so many secrets.
Xiaobai no longer has the evil spirit in her body. How did they know that she is from the fox tribe?
The palace gate was closed at night. Li Mu and Wanwan Xiaobai lived in the palace. Only a few palace ladies who were active near Changle Palace knew that among them, there were actually people from the Mei Sect?
Li Mu was not in a hurry to inform the Queen. He had just arrived in Qianhu City last night. Maybe the strong men from the Mei Sect had not had time to pay attention to him, but that might not be the case today.
Although he joined Mei Zong because of the other party's active invitation, Mei Zong was too reassured about him, and felt a little unusually relieved.
They seem to trust him and may have secretly begun to monitor his every move.
The jade talisman given to him by the Queen and the talisman that Li Mu drew to shield the secrets of heaven had been put away by him long ago.
These things can usually be used to shield secrets and prevent others from snooping. If you use them here, you feel that you are not exposed quickly enough.
A small snake demon in disguise can't even spy on a strong man above the sixth realm. Doesn't it mean that there is no silver in this place?
After returning to the room, Li Mu did not do anything unnecessary. He sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a piece of spiritual jade, held it in his hand, and began to practice Qi. As soon as he sat down, it was night.
Just after midnight, the jade in Li Mu's hand turned into powder.
With the strength of a transformed monster, it would take almost that long to absorb a piece of spiritual jade.
Afterwards, he got out of bed, exercised a bit, drank a glass of water, then went to bed again and slept in his clothes.
Qianhu City, the highest mountain peak.
In the cave in the middle of the peak, a man who looked fifty or sixty-six times similar to Fan Ji waved away the Xuan Guang Technique and said, "There should be nothing wrong with this demon."
Fan Ji nodded and said, "Then I can use it with confidence."
The man said: "The appearance is outstanding, but it's a pity that he is a demon. It would be great if he were a human being. If he is to be used in a big way in the future, he has to be washed away from the demon body. Troublesome..."
"My people, don't come here to point fingers." Fan Ji frowned and said, "How to deal with those evil cultivators?"
There was a trace of murderous intent in the man's eyes, and he said: "Kill, how many compatriots have died in their hands, because they have been insulted, one day, I will kill all these damn humans!"
The next morning, Li Mu learned from Hu Jiu that the five human evil cultivators had been publicly executed in Qianhu Kingdom.
Humans hate evil cultivators, and demons hate evil cultivators even more than humans do.
Due to the majesty of the Zhou Dynasty, the evil cultivators were still somewhat afraid of taking the lives of the people of Zhou Dynasty. They were afraid of alarming the enshrinement department and did not dare to cause harm wantonly.
But for monsters, they don't have to worry.
The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not protect the demon clan, and the demon kingdom was a mess with nothing to fear, so a large number of evil cultivators hunted and killed monsters everywhere, extracted the souls of low-level monsters, seized the inner elixir of mid-level monsters, and transformed into monsters.
Good-looking people, regardless of whether they are men or women, are sold to the black market and used as prostitutes for customers with certain special requirements. This has even formed a huge black industry chain. Countless monsters have suffered from it and deeply hate this kind of evil practice.
Especially the fox tribe, because after the transformation, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, they are the key hunting targets of evil cultivators.
Although all major righteous sects restrain their disciples and do not allow them to do such inhumane things, they, like the imperial court, will not fight against the demon clan.
When returning home, Hu Jiu looked at Li Mu seriously and said: "Little snake, you have to remember to stay away from humans and don't be deceived by their sweet words. A person like you with thin skin and tender flesh can still grow."
The handsome little demon is some people's favorite..."
Li Mu shuddered and said, "I will be careful. Thank you, Brother Hu Jiu."
Hu Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "We are all one of our own, you are welcome. By the way, you have just joined the Mei Sect and are still too weak to go out with us to perform tasks. Tonight, you will first be with Master Huan Ji
You will be on duty in front of the courtyard, and when dawn comes, someone will ask you to take over your shift."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I understand."
…
It was late at night and the moonlight was bright. Li Mu stood at the door of Fan Ji's courtyard with his sword in both hands.
Thinking that he, the second-generation disciple of the Fulu Sect, the future headmaster, the controller of the Great Zhou Enshrinement Department, the deputy commander of the inner guard, and the Queen's close minister, was actually guarding the door for a fox demon here, I felt infinite sadness in my heart.
Li Muke had no intention of completely forgetting his identity like those undercover agents of the Mei Sect, lurking for twenty years, rising to the top step by step, without leaving any trace. He felt that two months was too long.
But for now, he can only guard the door here.
If this continues, when will he be able to get into the upper echelons of the Mei Sect, understand the Fox Clan's Heavenly Book, and steal the secrets of the Mei Sect?
Now he is still the little demon at the bottom of the Mei Sect, and Fan Ji won't even look at him. He must do something to show his value, attract Fan Ji's attention, and then take the opportunity to rise to the top.
In the courtyard, Fan Ji slashed several times at the stone statue next to the rockery, and then walked back to the room.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, stretched out her hand, and an ancient book page floated in the palm of her hand.
She calmed down and concentrated, and her consciousness quickly immersed herself in it.
Outside the hospital, Li Mu, who was racking his brains to think of ways to ascend, suddenly moved his eyebrows.
He felt an extremely familiar scent from the yard behind him.
This is the breath of ------ the Book of Heaven!
The heavenly book of Wanhuan Tianjun is in the hands of Fanji!
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly had a strong impulse in his heart. He rushed in and subdued Fan Ji, grabbed the Heavenly Book and ran away... But he soon gave up this idea.
Fan Ji is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He will not be able to subdue Fan Ji for a while. If the masters of the Thousand Fox Kingdom arrive, it will be difficult for him to leave.
Even if the Demon King's Cave is with him, if someone blocks the space, he will be directly trapped here to death.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mu took a deep breath and resisted the temptation.
In the room, Fan Ji studied the Heavenly Book all night.
Outside the hospital, Li Mu also endured the whole night.
In the past few hours, he had thought of seizing the Book of Heaven countless times, but suppressed it countless times.
As the sky dawned, Hu Jiu came over with another little demon and said, "Little snake, you can go back and rest now."
Li Mu was about to go back to his room, but when he saw Hu Jiu and two others preparing to go out, he asked, "Brother Hu Jiu, what are you going to do?"
Hu Jiu said: "Before those evil cultivators died, the great elder searched their souls and learned about one of their dens. Several of our fellow cultivators were captured by them there. We are going to rescue them."
return."
There is no future as a janitor. Li Muzhengchou had no chance to show off, so he immediately said: "Brother Hu Jiu, I'll go too."
The person behind Hu Jiu glanced at Li Mu and said, "Your strength is so low. If you do anything, not only will you not be able to help, it will only cause trouble."
Li Mudao: "My parents died at the hands of these evil cultivators. I hate evil cultivators the most. If I follow you, I might meet the murderer who killed my parents. My biggest dream is to one day avenge my parents with my own hands."
"
After hearing Li Mu's legitimate reasons, few of them spoke any more.
Hu Jiu thought for a while, nodded and said: "This mission is not dangerous. If you want to come, come with me. It will not do you any harm to experience more hardships. Walking on the edge of life and death will help improve your cultivation...
…”
Li Mu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Hu Jiu, I will definitely work hard!"
…
Half a month passed quietly.
For the little snake demon who had just joined the Mei Sect, it only took half a month for everyone in the Mei Sect to go from unfamiliarity to familiarity to trust.
Although he didn't make much contribution to the Mei Sect, compared with those guys who first think about escaping when they encounter a task, this timid snake demon took the initiative to follow everyone every time and followed them to complete the task.
He went on many missions and rescued many fellow demons who fell into the hands of evil cultivators.
Although he was not very strong, his spiritual sense was naturally sharp. He warned them many times in advance, which saved them a lot of trouble.
As a result, he gained the trust of the monsters, and during the process of performing tasks, they would take the initiative to take care of him, as if they had regarded him as one of their own.
At Fan Ji's house, Li Mu opened the door and saw Hu Jiu standing outside, and asked, "Brother Hu Jiu, do you have another mission?"
Hu Jiu shook his head and said: "As you said, you told me not long ago to be careful. During this period, you took risks and performed tasks more diligently than anyone else..."
Li Mu looked solemn and said: "I am a little demon who is out alone. I don't know when I will be caught by humans. I sleep with an old and beautiful woman. It is Master Fan Ji who gave me everything I have now. I want to repay Fan Ji."
grown ups……"
Hu Jiu showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said: "Very good, Master Fan Ji really did not misjudge the person."
He took out a jade bottle, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "This is given to you by Master Fan Ji."
Li Mu took the jade bottle and asked, "What is this?"
Hu Jiu said: "This is the demon elixir of a snake demon that has just entered the fifth realm. We took it back from an evil human cultivator. Your recent performance has been seen by Master Fan Ji. This is
Her reward to you, after refining this demon pill, you should be able to advance to the fourth realm..."
Li Mu looked excited and said quickly: "Thank you, Master Huan Ji!"
Hu Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Work hard. If you can be promoted successfully, I will propose to Master Fan Ji to let you become Master Fan Ji's personal guard."
Li Mu held the jade bottle and said firmly: "Brother Hu Jiu, don't worry, I will work hard!"
Watching Hu Jiu's leaving figure, Li Mu closed the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
During this period, with his active performance, he finally attracted a little attention from Fan Ji, but it was not enough to get close to the Heavenly Book. His next goal is to become her personal guard and completely gain her trust.
.
Three days later.

Beside the rockery, Fan Ji was practicing her sword with the stone statue. Suddenly she turned her head and looked in a certain direction.
A demonic energy belonging to the fourth realm rose into the sky.
Behind her, Hu Jiu showed a smile on his face and said: "Master Fan Ji, he has made a breakthrough, do you want to promote him to be your personal guard?"
Fan Ji calmly withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's take another look..."
