Li Mu and Fan Ji were suspended in the air. The three Nether Elders, the four ghost kings and the ghost servants stood behind them, looking at a huge vortex of mist in the city.
Li Mu and Fan Ji were practicing in the Demon Kingdom. Suddenly, they received a message from a ghost servant that a strange phenomenon occurred in Fengdu City. He immediately rushed to the ghost realm, and Fan Ji also rushed over.
In Fengdu City, the mist vortex gathers all the Yin Qi from a thousand miles away and attracts it into the vortex.
Under the huge whirlpool of mist, a powerful aura is brewing.
This was not the first time that Li Mu felt this kind of aura, so he naturally knew what it meant.
With the joint efforts of the entire Ghost Realm, Su He is taking that crucial step. Soon, the Queen of Zhou, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, and the Lord of the Ghost Realm will all become powerful people in the seventh realm.
After Li Mu and others waited for several hours, Su He's aura finally reached a peak in the mist vortex, and then broke through a certain barrier. The vortex gradually dissipated, and a figure walked out of it.
At this moment, the four ghost kings and Ming Yi, who only had a soul body, suddenly felt a kind of fear deep in their hearts.
Facing the walking figure, they couldn't suppress the surrender in their hearts, and couldn't help but bow down, even lowering their heads.
In Fengdu City, countless ghost cultivators also had the same feeling. They prostrated themselves on the ground one by one, bowing their heads in a certain direction.
Outside Fengdu City, the wandering souls wandering around stayed in place blankly, and then lined up in neat lines, slowly drifting towards Fengdu City.
The ghost servant knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the ghost master!"
When the four ghost kings and Ming saw this, they also knelt down one after another. Although Ming Er and Ming San were not ghost cultivators and did not practice ghost techniques, everyone knelt down. They were too embarrassed to stand, so they could only kneel down.
He came down and said respectfully: "Congratulations, Ghost Lord!"
Su He said in a soft voice: "Get up."
Then, she slowly walked up to Li Mu and looked at Fan Ji. Fan Ji also raised her chest and looked at her unwillingly.
Su He was the first to speak: "I often hear him mention it, but when I saw her today, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons really charmed all living beings."
For some reason, although Fan Ji disliked Zhou Wu very much, she did not reject the woman in front of her at all. A smile appeared on her face and she said: "Sister Ghost Lord, thank you, you are also very beautiful..."
Su He bowed to her and said softly: "Su He."
Fan Ji also returned the gift and said with a smile: "Fan Ji."
…
Seeing the two complimenting each other and introducing themselves, Li Mu was stunned for a moment.
Fan Ji and the Empress were incompatible with each other, and they fought each other even though they were separated from each other. However, she and Su He were very harmonious when they met, which was beyond Li Mu's expectation.
Originally, this time, if she had not insisted on following him, Li Mu had planned to go to the Ghost Realm alone, taking her with him. He had been feeling uneasy until now.
Each of them has a noble status and has hundreds of millions of people under their command. If each of them is like Fan Ji and the Queen, Li Mu will be caught in the middle. I don't know how uncomfortable it will be.
After Su He was promoted, countless wandering souls began to gather outside Fengdu City.
It was the wandering souls in the ghost realm welcoming their king.
In the beginning, there were only low-level wandering souls. Gradually, wandering souls from the fifth and sixth realms began to appear, until among the wandering souls, there appeared beings whose aura was not weaker than that of the seventh realm.
The Ghost Realm is a treasure that has not yet been fully developed. Only by advancing to the seventh realm can she fully control this treasure.
In the next few days, Li Mu accompanied Su He throughout the ghost realm.
The corpses of giant beasts that have been dead for thousands of years in the ghost realm are the lairs of wandering spirits. The most powerful wandering spirits exist there. In five days, Li Mu and Su He discovered more than ten wandering spirits of the seventh realm.
They were all conquered by Su He.
It was during these few days that Li Mu and Su He noticed some clues.
In the ghost realm, the number of souls suddenly increased dramatically, and they were all ghosts who had just died.
As the master of the ghost realm, Su He knows the situation of the ghost realm best. Wandering souls have no spiritual intelligence, and ghost cultivators also have the characteristics of ghost cultivators. The number of these two will not happen too much in a short period of time.
Variety.
If the number of Yin spirits in a place increases sharply in a short period of time, there is only one possibility, and that is that many people died in that place in a short period of time.
It is impossible for all those Yin spirits to come to the Ghost Realm, so the real number of dead people in the place where these Yin spirits are located far exceeds this number.
The two traced the origins and finally discovered the source of the birth of these ghosts.
Yanzhou.
The conflict on the border of Shen State made Li Mu know that Yanzhou was not peaceful recently, but after personal investigation, he realized that the entire Yanzhou had completely turned into a battlefield.
This was a large-scale war. Almost all the tribes and countries in Yanzhou participated in the war. Millions of Yanzhou humans died in the war, and the souls of the dead even drifted to the ghost realm.
Before the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the situation in Zuzhou was also the same.
It was not until Emperor Taizu established the Great Zhou Dynasty that he unified Zuzhou, and through the eras of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wen, and the Empress, the internal and external troubles were eliminated for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only then did Zuzhou become as stable as it is today.
If not, the current Zuzhou would probably be no different from Yanzhou.
Although Li Mu couldn't stand the sight of corpses everywhere, this situation couldn't be changed by one person or one country. All he could do was to protect the ancestral continent, the demon kingdom, and the ghost realm, and not let them follow in the footsteps of Yanzhou.
.
After figuring out the source of the Yin Spirit, Li Mu and Su He left hand in hand. When they left, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint the specifics.
He looked back and still found nothing.
Su He noticed something strange about Li Mu and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's go."
However, just as they were about to return to the Ghost Realm, Li Mu suddenly turned around. At that moment, he finally realized what was wrong.
There was no evil aura at all. Wherever Li Mu and Su He went, there was no evil aura at all the battlefields in Yanzhou.
This is extremely unreasonable.
The battlefield is a place of great danger and evil. The evil energy gathers here. Without external intervention, it will not dissipate even if it takes dozens or hundreds of years. However, the major battlefields in Yanzhou have over a million deaths, and there is not even a trace of evil energy...
…
There is only one possibility. The evil spirits in all the battlefields in Yanzhou have been taken away.
Li Mu once sneaked into the ghost island and knew that the method of cultivation for demonic people, in addition to using human souls, essence, blood, evil spirit, death energy, etc., was also one of their ways of practice.
Those who practice these paths often like to use ancient battlefields or ancient cemeteries as places of practice. These places are full of evil and death, and are most suitable for their practice.
Soon, Li Mu realized something.
The inexplicable continental war in Yanzhou, the deaths of millions of people, the inexplicable disappearance of evil spirits - combined with these events, an answer is ready to be revealed.
Someone is in Yanzhou, provoking a continental war, and practicing with the evil energy generated by millions of lives!
It requires so much evil energy. This person's cultivation is definitely not Dongxuan, at least it is detached, like the peak of Xuanming. He wants to use this to attack the eighth realm!
And Yanzhou is where another main altar of the Demonic Way is located.
Only the devil can do such a thing.
Li Mu once thought about how the first and second ancestors of the Demonic Way would advance to the eighth realm. He could not figure out the answer because he underestimated the lower limit of the Demonic Way. In order to break through, they would sacrifice millions of innocent lives. They had no lower limit at all.
!
What's more serious is that when Li Mu found out, it was already too late.
The person behind the scenes has gathered enough evil energy. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through in cultivation, and it will definitely not take too long. How should he deal with it by then?
Compared with the demonic path, the righteous path he can ally with, the strong ones in the seventh realm can certainly have an advantage in numbers. There is no problem in dealing with one of the three ancestors of the demonic path, but if there is one more eighth realm, they will definitely be defeated. If there are two more
In the eighth realm, even if it's Taoism, Buddhism, Demon Country, Ghost Realm, or Great Zhou, there's no chance of winning.
Li Mu could predict that with Yanzhou being like this, the situation in Jukuzhou would not be much better.
Looking at the devastated land of Yanzhou, Li Mu's mood began to become heavy...
