As we all know, the Prince of Jiujiang County is very good at making friends. Most of the well-known practitioners in Jiujiang County have personal relationships with the Prince of Jiujiang County. There are also many practitioners who simply become his disciples and receive a lot of benefits from the Prince of Jiujiang County every month.
.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, the prince of Jiujiang County would entertain friends at his mansion. All practitioners in Jiujiang County would be proud to be invited.
Today is the 15th day of the lunar month, the day of the grand banquet at the county prince's palace. The prince of Jiujiang County entertained a few new friends. He caught a glimpse of a few empty seats at the banquet and asked his entourage: "Who is not attending the banquet today?"
A man next to him said: "Master Wu, Master Mu and Master Mei, they are in retreat at Master Wu's house to learn a magical power, and they sent their servants to take leave."
After the Prince of Jiujiang County asked about the reason, he no longer took the matter to heart.
Even as a practitioner, it is difficult to give up the craving for food and drink. The banquet was very sumptuous today, and the guests were drinking and having fun while chatting and talking.
"In my opinion, it is better for the county prince to establish himself as king. This world belongs to the Xiao family, so why should he be a minister of the Zhou family's traitors?"
"What kind of world is it now? It's simply unheard of for a woman to be the emperor."
"Sooner or later, the Xiao family's orthodoxy will be restored in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I think His Highness the County Prince is the most qualified to become the new emperor..."
…
In the corner of the Prince's Mansion, a figure poured himself a drink and listened quietly to everyone's discussion.
When the banquet was over, he also left with everyone.
Among the top ten evil cultivators, Li Mu had captured four of them and transformed into one person. He attended the banquet held by the Prince of Jiujiang. When he left the Prince's Mansion in Jiujiang, he was relieved.
The people gathered in the Jiujiang County Prince's Mansion are just a bunch of people. Most of these people's cultivations are concentrated in the magical power. Even the fifth realm is very rare. Even if they gather together, they can't make any waves.
However, in order to gather these people, the prince of Jiujiang County also invested a lot.
If it weren't for the huge income that the underground business brought him, he wouldn't be able to support so many customers or make so many friends.
Li Mu was planning to continue taking action, but suddenly he raised his eyebrows and hid in a dark alley. He turned his hand and a small compass the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
This compass was one of the magic weapons given to him by Fan Ji, and she didn't say anything about its use. At this moment, the pointer of the compass suddenly moved on its own, pointing in a certain direction.
Li Mu followed the compass' guidance and came to an inn. He walked up to the second floor of the inn and stood in front of a room door.
The door opened, and Hu Jiu's figure appeared in Li Mu's eyes.
Li Mu walked into the room, his face suddenly changed, he looked at Hu Jiu and said unexpectedly: "Why are you here?"
Hu Jiu winked at Li Mu, slowly stepped away, revealing a figure behind him, and said, "It's not just me..."
Li Mu walked forward quickly, lowered his head and said, "Master Fan Ji."
Fan Ji had no expression on her face and asked calmly: "Have I ever told you not to act without permission again?"
Li Mu innocently said: "Didn't you ask me to kill the top ten evil cultivators, Master Huan Ji?"
Fan Ji's eyes widened: "When did I ask you to kill the top ten evil cultivators?"
Li Mudao: "You said that as long as I kill the top ten evil cultivators, you will let me understand the Heavenly Book."
Fan Ji's chest heaved with anger: "Is that what I meant?"
Li Mu asked doubtfully: "Isn't it?"
Fan Ji's chest rose and fell even more, and Hu Jiu quickly floated over and explained: "Master Fan Ji, calm down, calm down, the little snake's brain is just a muscle, you are not the first to know..."
Fan Ji's chest finally calmed down, and she said coldly: "Go back with me."
Li Mudao: "I can't go back yet."
He waved his hand, and the four straight bodies were neatly placed on the ground.
Hu Jiu glanced at it and exclaimed: "Wu Liang, Mu De, Mei Ren... four of those ten people are here. How many days has it passed?"
He looked at Li Mu with an expression of disbelief: "The place where they live is heavily guarded, checked at all levels, and covered with formations. How could you possibly break in?"
Li Mu explained: "I didn't break in, they took me in themselves."
He explained the whole ins and outs of the matter. From beginning to end, he only relied on the art of change, relying on surprise and catching people off guard.
After speaking, he added: "These few people are not high in cultivation and are easy to attack by surprise. The rest of them are in the fifth realm. I am not completely sure yet."
Hu Jiu looked at Li Mu blankly. He was good at hiding and able to change. He was simply a natural killer.
If he is well prepared, it will not be difficult for him to kill someone at a higher level.
After Fan Ji thought for a moment, she said: "Don't worry about the others for now. You have already captured four people. If you do it again, it will be easy to be noticed. Let's save the compatriots in the underground palace first."
Li Mu looked hesitant and said, "But in this case, I won't be able to collect the heads of the ten evil people."
Fan Ji angrily knocked on his head and said: "I will let you study the Heavenly Book when you get back. You idiot, if you act without permission next time, I will expel you from the Mei Sect!"
Li Mu touched his head and said solemnly: "Yes!"
For Fan Ji, saving her suffering compatriots is obviously more important than killing her enemies. However, with the abilities of the three of them, they cannot save so many people at the same time, so they need to go back to Qianhu City to mobilize more powerful people from the Mei Sect.
On the way, Fan Ji gritted her teeth and said, "Damn Li Mu, if he hadn't robbed the Demon Emperor's Cave Mansion, we could have saved everyone this time!"
Li Mu looked innocent, but Fan Ji seemed to realize something and explained: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about another Li Mu."
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good..."
Li Mu has given enough reasons for the disappearance of several people among the guests of the Prince of Jiujiang County. They are in seclusion and going out. As long as the soul is still alive, no one will suspect that something happened to them in a short period of time.
But Li Mu can only wait for half a month at most. When the next banquet held by the Prince of Jiujiang County, if these people have not attended the banquet, someone may become suspicious.
Fan Ji had to spend some time mobilizing the powerful people of the Mei Sect. Li Mu was standing in the yard, hesitating whether to remind her about the Heavenly Book, when Fan Ji's summons came to his ears.
Li Mu crossed the wall, came to the door of Fan Ji's room, and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Hearing Fan Ji's voice, Li Mu pushed the door open and entered. Fan Ji threw something out and said, "Take it."
Li Mu reached out and took it, and found that it was a piece of spiritual jade, but it was different from ordinary spiritual jade. There seemed to be a drop of blood sealed in the center of this piece of spiritual jade, and Li Mu felt Fan Ji's aura from it.
Huan Ji said calmly: "Take this thing with you and don't put it in the Hutian space."
Li Mu put it in his sleeve and said, "Yes."
He probably understood what it was. Fan Ji sealed a drop of her blood essence in this spiritual jade. In this way, she could sense Li Mu's existence within a certain range. On the contrary, if Li Mu left this range
, she could feel it immediately.
Obviously, this was to prevent him from acting without permission like the previous two times.
After doing all this, Fan Ji stretched out her hand, and a page from the book that Li Mu had coveted for a long time appeared in her palm.
Fan Ji looked at him and said: "This is the page of the Heavenly Book. My father is in retreat. Without my father's consent, I can't make the decision without permission for you to understand. However, you have made great contributions to the Mei Sect many times, so I can make an exception.
, you only have one night, make the most of it."
Li Mu held the Book of Heaven in both hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Fan Ji."
Huan Ji said calmly: "You don't need to thank me. You have earned this with your own merit. You can meditate here. You can't leave here this night."
"yes."
Li Mu nodded, then sat down cross-legged, suppressing the joy in his heart. Just as he was about to realize something, he suddenly realized something. He looked up at Fan Ji and asked blankly: "Master Fan Ji, how do you understand the Book of Heaven?"
In the excitement, he almost forgot that the identity he played was a bumpkin snake who had never seen the world. He had never even seen the Book of Heaven before, so how could he know the method of enlightenment?
Fan Ji walked to the table and sat down, and said, "Use your spiritual mind to feel it, or touch it with your fingers."
Li Mu took a deep breath, touched the page with his fingertips, and slowly closed his eyes.
Silence returned to the room. Fan Ji held her chin with one hand, looking at the figure who was seriously comprehending the Book of Heaven, with a little helplessness on her face.
She didn't know whether to be happy or melancholy because she had such a stupid young man under her command.
Call him obedient. He always acts without permission and does not obey orders.
Call him disobedient. There is no one around her who is more obedient than him. He almost obeys her every word and meets all her unreasonable demands without any complaints.
After staring at this familiar face for a long time, Fan Ji remembered another annoying thing.
That damn Li Mu beside Queen Zhou has become a stone weighing on her heart, and she cannot pick it up or put it down.
She wandered between revenge and repayment, hesitating and repeating the cycle.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a decision.
Instead of being entangled for a long time, it is better to make a decision quickly.
From now on, she and Li Mu have no grudges and have nothing to do with each other.
From now on, she will keep Little Snake by her side, and bully him when she has nothing to do, which can be considered as a way to relieve herself. Although this is not fair to Little Snake, as long as she compensates him more afterwards...
She held her chin in her hands and looked at the face in front of her.
Although this face is handsome, it really deserves a beating...
