Although there are only five people in the seventh realm of Xuanzong, the existence of Tianjizi requires Li Mu to make full preparations.
He went on this trip not to start a war with Xuanzong, but to force them to hand over Qingchengzi so that Xiaobai could take revenge. In the past, Li Mu did not have the strength to make Xuanzong give in. Now Xuanzong can no longer advance or retreat.
Apart from Xiaobai, he was the first to inform the Queen about this. When Zhou Wu heard this, she said without much thought: "I will go with you."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's identity is not suitable for public appearances. I can handle this matter."
Looking at the entire Zuzhou, and even the Ten Continents, she is the most noble one. How can a king of a country leave the capital to fight with others?
Zhou Wu frowned, and after a moment, she said: "Then I will ask the four deans to go with you."
Li Mu continued to shake his head and said: "The four deans represent the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is a personal grudge between Xuanzong and I. It is not appropriate for the court to get involved. Besides, they have the responsibility of guarding the divine capital and cannot leave."
Zhou Wu thought for a while and said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't let me help you, are you going to find that vixen and your ghost sister?"
Li Mu was noncommittal. The Great Zhou Dynasty was a human country, and the central court of the ancestral continent was orthodox. Everything the court did must follow etiquette and law. However, the demon country and the ghost realm were different. The behavior of these two places had always been biased toward barbarism and violence.
Violence, of course, does not have so many concerns.
Looking at the empress who was obviously jealous, Li Mu could only hold her hand and consoled her: "This time I am denounced Xuanzong, and the empress of a country is following me. How unbecoming is it? If I have such an opportunity next time, I will definitely take you with me."
…”
The Queen had the temper of a child, she was just dissatisfied that Li Mu asked for help from Fan Ji and Su He, but she was left alone. Li Mu comforted her for a while, and she regained her mental balance.
After taking care of the queen, Li Mu looked at Linglong who was busy sitting at the table and said, "Linglong, you may not have been home for a long time, and you just happened to accompany me to the Yong Kingdom."
Princess Linglong learned many ways to govern the country from the Book of Heaven. The Yong Kingdom was too small and could not give her much room to display her skills. During these days in the Great Zhou Dynasty, she was able to use all her skills and even forgot the time. Only after Li Mu reminded her did she realize
She hasn't been back for a long time.
For a moment, the feeling of missing her hometown and family spread in her heart. She immediately stood up and said, "Okay, okay..."
Li Mu didn't waste any time. After leaving the palace, he took Linglong and Xiaobai to Yong Kingdom.
In the Yong Palace, he had a secret talk with the Yong Emperor. Soon after, the Yong Emperor personally escorted him and Xiaobai out of the palace and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely be there when the time comes."
Li Mu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Yong returned the favor with a smile and said, "Master Li, what did you say? You have done a great favor to Yong, and this is also an opportunity for us to repay our kindness."
After leaving Yong State, Li Mu went to Liang State, Yu State, Jiang State, and Jing State, and visited the Danding Sect, Lingzhen Sect, Southern Sect, and Beizong respectively.
Until he left Beizong, the headmaster of Beizong looked at each other and the two Supreme Elders and sighed: "Xuanzong knew this, why did he do it in the first place?"
Only one of the Supreme Elders looked puzzled and murmured: "Uncle Tianjizi's divination skills are unparalleled in the world. He can even predict the future for a short period of time. Didn't he predict that Xuanzong would have this day?"
Another Supreme Elder shook his head and said: "The secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and who can completely calculate them all? Those who plot the secrets of heaven will eventually be calculated by the secrets of heaven. I wonder if Xuanzong will regret his original decision..."
Li Mu left Beizong and took Xiaobai to the Buddhist Heart Sect, where he reminisced with Xuandu for an hour, and then had a secret talk with the Venerable Xin Sect for a quarter of an hour before leaving the Heart Sect.
Over the years, he has used the Book of Heaven to form many relationships, and this is the time to use it.
He did not plan to take action against Xuanzong, in order to avoid the internal conflict between the righteous path and the demonic path, and then he could only use his strength to form a crushing force and force Xuanzong to submit without spending a single soldier.
The Taoist sect has completed contact, and the Buddhist sect still has three sects from the Shen Kingdom.
When Li Mu and Xiaobai passed by the State of Shen, they clearly felt that the country was very different from the last time they came. The State of Shen had a new owner. With the promotion of Zhou Zhong, bottom-up reforms were carried out, and the legal system was established.
Perfectly, if the Yong Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty are a combination of the rule of law and the rule of man, then the Shen Kingdom is a pure rule of law.
There is no distinction between relatives and strangers, no distinction between high and low, and one is committed to the law. In the State of Shen, Zhou Zhong pushed Legalist thought to the extreme.
Heavy punishments were used in troubled times, and when the heads of criminals from various states in the Shen Kingdom were stacked several feet high outside the execution ground, the crime rate in the country dropped sharply. In a very short period of time, everyone became a good, fair and law-abiding citizen.
Li Mu's destination is the new capital of Shen Kingdom. This country on the ancestral continent was once second only to the Great Zhou in terms of strength. Now the people behind the scenes are actually the old officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The officials of the Shen Kingdom's court have also experienced a long time ago.
Bo's replacement was composed of officials from the Zhou Dynasty who were seconded from the Zhou Dynasty by Li Mu, headed by Wei Peng.
The closer he got to the new capital, the more Li Mu could feel the changes in Shen State.
Flying over Xindu, Li Mu's expression changed slightly. He felt an unusually powerful aura from below. This aura was so powerful that even he felt a little afraid.
Obviously, in the new capital of Shen State at this moment, there is a seventh-level strongman who is not weaker than him.
Li Mu quickly locked onto this aura, and then with a look of surprise on his face, he led Xiaobai to the Shen Kingdom Palace and walked straight into a palace.
In the palace, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged, opened his eyes and looked at Li Mu, and said, "Master Li, long time no see."
Li Mu showed a smile on his face and said, "Long time no see. Congratulations to Mr. Zhou on your promotion."
Zhou Zhong smiled slightly and said, "I'm delighted."
There is more than one way to advance to the seventh realm. Like Li Mu and the Queen, those who advance through refining imperial energy will be stronger than those who advance through sect inheritance. But like Zhou Zhong and Fu Daozi,
Those who have not accepted the sect's inheritance, nor refined the imperial energy, but have been promoted through their own strength, can be considered as the true seventh level powerhouse, and their strength is not the same as that of others.
The Legalists have developed a unique approach and are extremely powerful in actual combat. Today's Zhou Zhong is probably even stronger than Fu Daozi.
After a brief reminiscing about old times, Li Mu said straight to the point: "I plan to go to Xuanzong to seek justice for Xiaobai. I originally came to invite the Venerables of the Three Sects. Since Mr. Zhou has also been promoted, why not go to Xuanzong together to enjoy the scenery of the East China Sea?
Much better than here..."
There is no doubt that Zhou Zhong, who had just been promoted to the seventh level of Legalism, was captured by Li Mu.
As for the three sages of the Shen Kingdom Buddhism, Nirvana Sect, Ku Sect, and Yan Sect, their soul blood is still in Li Mu's hands. After receiving the summons, they came to the Shen Kingdom Palace immediately and expressed their obedience to Li Mu's arrangements.
.
The Yong Kingdom, the other four Taoist sects, and the four Buddhist sects are considered allies to Li Mu, and they are also the first ones Li Mu comes to discuss. The Ghost Realm and Demon Kingdom are his own back garden for Li Mu. He summons the powerful people from these two places.
It's just a matter of Li Mu's words.
After leaving Shen State, he and Xiaobai first went to the nearest ghost land.
Compared with last time, Fengdu City has also undergone great changes. Su He is using the power of ghosts to retreat and attack the realm. In Fengdu City, the ghosts gathered in a huge square, and there was a stone tablet standing in the square.
The thoughts in his body were attracted by the stone tablet and submerged into it.
Compared with the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Demon Kingdom, Su He, as the ghost master, has the strongest control over the territory. With the Heavenly Book in his hand, all practitioners who practice the ghost way have absolute surrender to him in their hearts. In this regard, the Queen and Huan
Jidu can't compare to her.
Su He and Su Miao were in retreat together. This period was a critical moment for her to enter the seventh realm. Li Mu did not disturb her, but directly found the ghost servant.
The current strength of the Ghost Realm is stronger than that of the Demon Kingdom.
The four ghost kings, the three elders of Netherworld, and the ghost servants who can compete with Xuanming head-on, are apparently the peak powerhouses, even the Great Zhou is not as good as them.
The Rakshasa King naturally obeyed Li Mu's orders, and the three elders of Netherworld had no other choice.
After discussing the time with the ghost servant, Li Mu headed to the Demon Country without any delay.
In Fengdu City, the three elders of Netherworld looked strange, and Ming Er said with emotion: "I didn't expect that one day we would actually be able to defeat Xuanzong, just like a dream..."
For more than a thousand years, Dao Sect Xuanzong has been the Demon Sect’s number one enemy.
If it weren't for Xuanzong, I'm afraid they would have wiped out the six Taoist sects long ago and captured the six sects' heavenly books.
When the three of them were still working for the Demon Sect, they considered joining Xuanzong as one of their ultimate goals. Unexpectedly, what they couldn't do in the Demon Sect, they actually did it here. It has to be said that it was fate...
Those in Xuanzong probably didn't expect that the first person to join their sect was not a demon.
Not long after, Qianhu Country.
As soon as Li Mu and Xiao Bai landed in the square in front of the palace, Xiao Bai ran towards the two figures in front and said happily: "Sister Huan Ji, Sister Hu Liu!"
Since coming to Qianhu Country, Xiaobai's mood has obviously increased a lot. The whole city here is full of the atmosphere of her own race. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is her paradise.
Fan Ji and Hu Liu also loved her very much. After hearing Li Mu explain his purpose, Fan Ji took Xiao Bai's hand and said, "Damn Xuan Zong, you bullied our Xiao Bai like this, my sister will take you to take revenge!"
Li Mu asked: "Are you going too?"
Fan Ji rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course, this is our Fox Clan's business, how could I not go?"
Li Mu did not dissuade her like he did the queen. After all, she was from the demon race and did not have as many etiquette as the human race, so she could act as she pleased.
After Huan Ji finished speaking, she thought of something else and asked Li Mudao: "Will Zhou Wu go?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I won't go."
"Then I'll go even more." Fan Ji snorted, then touched Xiao Bai's head and said, "Xiao Bai, you should know by now who treats you better..."
