Facts have proved that things are easier to do if you have connections. Under the guidance of several great demons, the Beijun demon clan quickly became a demon citizen and became a demon citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But apart from Beijun, Li Mu doesn't have this kind of relationship anywhere else.
Of the thirty-six counties in the Great Depression, only one North County responded to the imperial court's call, which was far from enough.
Li Mu gathered the green bull spirit, tiger spirit, rat spirit and other monsters together and asked: "Do you have any relatives and friends in other counties? It is best to know the basics and have good nature..."
All the monsters shook their heads. They were all local monsters in Beijun and did not know monsters from other places.
After thinking for a while, King Tiger suddenly said: "My aunt married in Yunzhong County decades ago. I have a cousin in Yunzhong County, but I haven't contacted him in a few years."
Li Mu asked: "What is his cultivation level?"
Tiger King said: "The demon elixir was condensed three years ago, and it should be in the fourth realm now."
Li Mu clapped his hands: "It's him."
Yunzhong County is not far from Beijun. On the pretext of being promoted to the fifth realm, the Tiger King sent his little demon to Yunzhong County and invited his cousin, whom he had not seen for many years, to come and celebrate with him.
Although the two brothers had not seen each other for several years and their relationship had faded a lot, when he heard that his cousin had been promoted to the realm of the Demon King, Hu Qiang still brought enough congratulatory gifts and came in person.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the demon kings in the fifth realm were able to walk sideways anywhere as long as they did not go arrogantly near the divine capital.
There is a demon king cousin in Bei County. When other demons in Yunzhong County see him, they all have to give him three points.
I must take this opportunity to get in touch with my cousin again.
In the mountains of Beijun, Hu Qiang rode a tiger with eye-catching eyes. He patted the tiger's head beneath him and asked, "Are we here yet?"
The tiger opened its mouth, spoke human words, and said, "Go back to your Majesty, we are almost there."
The tiger ran in the forest for a quarter of an hour and finally came to the top of a mountain.
Two transformed monsters stood at the intersection, stopped them, and asked: "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
The tiger said: "The king on my back is the tiger king's cousin. Please let him go quickly."
After the two transformed monsters checked the invitation, they immediately got out of the way.
Hu Qiang got off the tiger and walked into a tall gatehouse. The plaque on the gatehouse was engraved with the four characters "Beijun Yaosi". The gatehouse was three feet high and had various mysterious runes engraved on it. Hu Qiang took a closer look.
My eyes felt a little dizzy and I quickly looked away, not daring to look again.
Stepping into the gatehouse and taking another step forward, Hu Qiang's footsteps paused.
The air here is filled with rich spiritual energy, which is many times richer than the spiritual energy in his cave in Yunzhong County.
He took a sharp breath and coughed due to the impact of the spiritual energy.
Hu Qiang's eyes showed a bright light. If he could practice in such a place, then his cultivation would not be able to fly?
Bathed in such a rich aura, given another ten years, he would be able to advance to the fifth level.
"Hahaha, cousin, long time no see." A hearty laughter came from the front. Hu Qiang looked over, with a smile on his face, and quickly came up to meet him, saying: "Congratulations to my cousin for being promoted to the Demon King..."
King Tiger put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Come on, let's have a nice drink today."
Hu Qiang followed King Hu for a few steps and saw magnificent mansions in front of him. If it wasn't in the mountains, he almost thought he was in a human town.
As Hu Qiang walked, he asked, "Cousin, what's going on?"
The Tiger King laughed and said: "Your cousin, I am now the Demon Order of North County of Great Zhou Dynasty. I am in charge of the demons of North County. Of course, the place where I live cannot be as random as before."
Hu Qiang was surprised and asked: "Cousin has submitted to the imperial court?"
The Tiger King was dissatisfied and said: "Submission, what does submission mean? I take care of our demon clan, protect the demon clan, and do things for the demon clan, can it be called submission?"
"No barking, no barking..." Hu Qiang followed him and asked with some expectation: "Cousin, can I come here to practice in the future?"
Tiger King said: "You are fine in Yunzhong County, what are you doing here?"
Hu Qiang said honestly: "The spiritual energy here is much richer than the spiritual energy in my cave. It is faster to practice here..."
The Tiger King glanced at him and said: "Look at your potential, it's just a matter of a spirit gathering array. When the time comes, I will have someone arrange one for you."
Hu Qiang said quickly: "No, no, I just follow my cousin to practice..."
He is not stupid. He has no strength. What is the use of just having a spirit gathering array?
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, those cave heavens and blessed lands that are rich in spiritual energy are all occupied by humans. Other inferior caves that are looked down upon by human practitioners are also occupied by strong demon clans. He is a little demon in the fourth realm. In this kind of spiritual energy,
If you practice in a sufficient place, it won't take long for stronger humans or monsters to take over the cave. They will peel off tiger skins to use as blankets, and cut off tiger whips to make wine...
For them, possessing treasures that do not match their own strength means hoping that they will die early.
The Tiger King took him into the house he had just built and said: "Actually, I came to you this time for something important. You should also know that the imperial court plans to establish demon divisions in each county to manage the demon clan.
There is no suitable candidate in Zhongjun yet, do you want to be the Demon Commander of Yunzhong County’s Demon Division?”
After Hu Qiang was stunned for a moment, he shook his head repeatedly. It was the consensus of the demon clan that humans could not be trusted. Being a lackey of the human court would not only be dangerous to oneself, but would also be ridiculed by all the demon clan.
Hu Li did not force himself and said: "Since you don't want to, then forget it."
He took out a flying sword and several bottles of elixirs and placed them on the table.
Hu Qiang's eyes were gleaming. This flying sword had a powerful aura. It was no ordinary magic weapon at first glance. It was much better than his own weapons. These bottles of elixirs seemed to be flowing with spiritual power, which made him ready to move.
He looked at Tiger King and felt excited. Could it be that his cousin gave him these?
The Tiger King said: "You are more familiar with Yunzhong County than me. Take these things. After you return to Yunzhong County, help me ask if there is any demon in the Dan Condensation stage who is willing to serve as the Yunzhong County Demon Order, and then give these
Give him the things. This sword is produced by Beizong. These pills can increase the mana. When his mana is enough, the court will give them a realm-breaking pill to allow them to break through to the fifth realm. The court plans to give them a realm-breaking pill in three years.
Within this period, if all the demon orders are promoted to the fifth level, their contribution to the imperial court will not be in vain..."
Hu Qiang took a deep breath, put away these things, and said seriously: "Don't worry, cousin, I will help you carry the message."
He stayed here one night and left early the next morning.
Three days later, he sent someone to report that there was no monster in Yunzhong County who was willing to serve as the demon order. However, in order to live up to his cousin's instructions, he was willing to take on the responsibility of the demon order, unite the monsters in Yunzhong County, and cooperate with the court.
Do your part to build a civilized, harmonious, free and equal Zhou Dynasty.
Beijun Yaosi, Li Muzheng was staring at the alchemy furnace in front of him with all his attention.
Refining alchemy is more difficult than writing talismans. He must control the flame accurately and at the same time control the precious elixir in the furnace.
Whenever there was sweat on his forehead, Yin Xin would take out a handkerchief and wipe it off for him gently and carefully.
It is difficult to win over the White Wolf with nothing. The reason why things went smoothly in Beijun is because of the relationship with the White Demon King. If you want to win over the monsters from other places, it is actually the same as the casual cultivators. You need to promise them something that is enough to impress them.
Benefit.
The relationship of interest is the closest relationship.
Compared with humans, monsters have too few resources. All the caves and heavens are occupied by humans. They can only practice in poor mountains and rivers, and in places with thin spiritual energy. Human cultivation has spiritual jade and elixirs, and they can only rely on the spiritual energy floating in the air.
.
In the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Book, there are many elixirs for improving the cultivation of the Demon Clan.
Li Mu didn't have a high-level elixir in his hand, but it was more than enough to refine some elixirs suitable for monsters in the transformation and elixir-condensing stages.
Monster cultivation is inherently difficult, and it is not easy to take shortcuts. Few monsters can resist the temptation of elixirs.
Li Mu has asked Qing Niu, Tiger King and others to activate all possible connections and invite the great demons from several counties adjacent to Bei County to come here to visit and observe, allowing them to make their own choices.
The effect of this is very obvious.
The spiritual energy that is much richer than that of their training cave, and the treatment of the demon officials of the Beijun Demon Division make these monsters envious. What makes them most uncontrollable is the court's promise to upgrade all demon orders to the fifth level within three years.
plan.
This is definitely a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step. If they want to practice on their own, from the fourth realm to the fifth realm, it may take a few years or decades. They may even fail to cross that hurdle in their lifetime. If they miss this opportunity,
This may become a lifelong regret for them.
The green bull and the tiger demon have already proven this. A few months ago, the strength of the two demons was clearly different from theirs. In just a few months, they are already in the sky and on the ground.
At that moment, the big demons from the four counties expressed their willingness to cooperate with the imperial court and establish a demon division to manage the demons in each county.
After sending away the big demons from several counties, Qingniu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Only Jiujiang County is left."
This time, they invited the big demons from five counties to come, but only Jiujiang County did not respond. Not only that, the two little demons sent by Qing Niu and Tiger King to deliver the message have not returned yet.
Li Mu asked: "What powerful monsters are there in Jiujiang County?"
The Tiger King said: "There is a black bear clan in Jiujiang County, which leads all the monsters in Jiujiang County. The Black Bear King has advanced to the fifth realm in his early years, and is on par with his elder brother. Several of his bear cubs also have several fourth realm monsters.
A county with relatively strong clan strength.”
Qingniu Jing asked: "How about I go take a look?"
Li Mu said: "I'd better go."
Jiujiang County is adjacent to the Monster Kingdom, and there is no righteous sect in charge. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most chaotic county in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The monsters there act more unscrupulously. Compared with Beijun, it is more necessary to restrain the monsters in Jiujiang County.
Accompanied by Yin Xin, Li Mu personally flew to the territory of the Black Bear Clan in Jiujiang County.
On the flying boat, Bai Yinxin said doubtfully: "The demon kings in the nearby counties all know each other. Back then, my father took Ting Xin and I to the Black Bear Clan. Although the Black Bear King looked fierce, he was actually a reasonable demon king. He usually
He also restrains his subordinates and prevents them from harming humans. Logically speaking, he should agree to this thing that is beneficial to both human and demon races."
Regardless of whether he is a reasonable bear or not, the incorporation of demon clan is the policy of the imperial court and will not be changed by anyone.
The demons in each county can choose not to cooperate with the imperial court and not become demons, but if anyone dares to openly oppose the imperial court, he will definitely not end well.
The two flew for more than an hour and had already entered Jiujiang County. Bai Yinxin pointed to a mountain in front and said, "That's it, that's the cave of the Black Bear Clan."
Li Mu and she landed on a mountain. Bai Yinxin wondered: "It's strange. There should be bear demons guarding this place. Where did they go?"
Li Mu felt it and found several powerful demonic energies in the distance. He whispered: "Stop talking and follow me."
Black Bear Ridge.
For the people of Jiujiang County, this name may be a bit unfamiliar. Jiujiang County is mountainous and there are many monsters in the mountains. People generally do not go deep into the mountains. Even the boldest woodcutter only operates below the mountainside.
However, for the monster clan in Jiujiang County, there is no monster that does not know Black Bear Ridge.
That is the territory of the Bear Demon Clan. The leader of the Bear Demon Clan, a bear demon with fifth-level cultivation, is one of the strongest demon clansmen in Jiujiang County. Other monsters usually dare not provoke the Bear Clan.
However, at this moment, the bear demon clan that dominates Jiujiang County is in very miserable condition.
Several bear demons that had not yet transformed were tied to trees, and their skins were torn open with whips, and they roared again and again.
The sight of several bear monsters that had transformed into condensed pills was astonishing, and they wanted to rescue them, but they themselves were in danger, and they were unable to fight back under the attacks of several other figures.
The only bear demon in the fifth realm was trapped in a huge light barrier and could not escape.
A handsome-looking man looked at the bear demon in the mask and said with a smile: "How about it, agree to our conditions, and I will let your men go immediately. If you still insist on it, I will kill you every quarter of an hour."
A bear chopped off his bear paws..."
The bear demon said angrily: "I have no intention of being your enemy, and I will not submit to the Zhou Dynasty, so why should you be aggressive?"
The handsome man shook his head and said: "In our eyes, they are either friends or enemies. You have wasted a little time. When you finish chopping off their bear paws, it will be your turn."
The bear demon roared: "The Great Zhou court will not let you go!"
The handsome man looked at him, with a hint of murderous intent on his face, and said calmly: "I hate it when someone uses the human court to threaten me. It seems that you have already made your choice."
He looked at the person next to him and said, "Do it."
The man pulled out his long knife and walked towards the bear demons tied to the trees.
"Let's have something to drink with tonight." He looked at a bear demon, licked his lips, and chopped it down without hesitation with the long knife in his hand.
Plop.
Soon, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
The knife in the man's hand fell to the ground, and he fell down, foaming at the mouth, and a faint green color appeared on his face.
Plop, plop!
People began to fall to the ground one after another around them, and in a blink of an eye, only three people were left standing.
A light shield suddenly appeared outside the handsome man's body, blocking a poisonous arrow that was aimed at his throat.
The other two figures also stopped the poisonous arrows and flew behind the handsome man, observing the surroundings vigilantly.
The handsome man looked at several of his men who had fallen to the ground, with a gloomy look on his face, and said loudly: "Whoever hurts someone with a secret arrow, come out if you have the ability!"
Two figures walked out from behind a big tree in front of them.
There was a boy and a girl, both young and handsome. The young man looked at the handsome man and said calmly: "It turns out you, the fox, are up to something."
The handsome man stared at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Mu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He raised his hand and a golden light shot out, binding the three people tightly.
The Immortal Binding Lock is the most practical of all the magic weapons given to him by the Queen. Its speed makes it difficult for practitioners in the fifth realm to react at all, and they will be bound in an instant.
Incorporating the demon clan is something that is beneficial to the imperial court, and the Demon Sect will not stand idly by.
It’s just that I don’t know who ordered this Mei Sect fox. Fan Ji’s people should not do such a thing.
Li Mu walked up to the trapped fifth-level bear demon, slapped his palm, and the golden light shield shattered directly. The bear demon escaped from the trap, bowed to Li Mu, and said respectfully: "Thank you for saving me...
"
Li Mu said: "You're welcome. No matter whether they are humans or demons, they are all citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is the duty of the Enshrinement Secretary to protect the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The bear demon's eyes flashed, he bowed his hand to Li Mu again, and went to rescue the trapped men.
Including the handsome man, the three strong men of the fifth realm did not expect to be captured by the young man opposite them as soon as they met. Their magic power could not be used, and they were extremely horrified.
At this moment, there were three more powerful auras in the distance, approaching quickly.
After feeling those three auras, Li Mu's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal.
The three demons who were tied up by him with the Immortal Binding Chain showed ecstasy on their faces and shouted loudly: "Master Fan Ji, save us!"
Three figures arrived in an instant, two demons and one ghost, and landed opposite Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at Hu Jiu and Hu Liu, and said calmly: "Three foxes, we meet again."
Fan Ji glanced at the three people who were tied up and said, "Leave them to me."
Li Mu asked: "Do you know what they did?"
Fan Ji said: "I didn't give them such an order, I will take them back and deal with them."
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "The imperial court owes you a lot. I can give you a face and hand them over to you, but I will destroy their cultivation as a punishment."
The three demons said in horror: "Master Fan Ji, no!"
There was a trace of hesitation in Fan Ji's eyes. Seeing the miserable situation of the bear demon clan, she finally nodded.
Li Mu's fingers were like lightning, and he clicked on each of the three demons. The auras of the three demons immediately weakened, and most of the mana in their bodies dissipated, and they could only barely maintain their human form.
Li Mu took back the Immortal Binding Lock, Huan Ji waved her hand, and the three demons were taken into the Hutian space by him.
She raised her head and looked at Li Mu again, and said with a complex expression: "I didn't expect you to really do it."
Li Mudao: "A man should keep his word."
Fan Ji thought for a moment and said: "If what you say is true, Mei Zong will never go against your Zhou court again."
She didn't say any more, looked back at Hu Liu and Hu Jiu, and whispered: "Let's go."
Hu Jiu looked at Yin Xin beside Li Mu and said, "I read that right. You really like to play with snakes. Li Mu, as I said last time, you can think about it again. We also have snake demons in Thousand Fox Country, or do we still have them?"
