Li Mu suddenly became concerned.
The importance of the pagoda to him is self-evident. Nothing can compare with it. If something goes wrong and the pagoda fails, it would be really inappropriate.
He immediately started testing and tried all the functions dozens of times.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that all the functions of the pagoda are exactly the same as before, without any mistakes.
He was relieved, but the obvious black light beside the pagoda still made him a little uneasy. Maybe this uneasiness would continue for a while.
But Xu Mu believes that this will not have much impact on him. It is just a ray of black light. Maybe it will disappear after he improves again. There is no need to think too much.
The journey was very peaceful and uneventful.
In the above-ground world of the Demon Realm, there are very few powerful demons, and they are all hidden deep underground.
But if there are cultivators who want to cause trouble in the surface world, they will never get good results. Once an abnormality in the ground world is sensed, patrolling demon generals will come out to maintain order. They usually carry tokens of the demon god and can exert their greatest strength in a short period of time.
After more than ten days of flying, Li Mu returned to Shuangjiao Region.
He summoned the rescued Xiunu together and said, "You can leave now."
Many slaves left gratefully, but there were also some who just knelt and refused to leave. There were about dozens of them.
"Why don't you leave?"
"There is no place to go. Everyone in the family is dead. We can only practice Zhenxin Dharma a little bit. We really don't know where to go. Please take care of us."
These slave cultivators often had their whole families kidnapped, and then they were left behind if they could truly cultivate. If you can't cultivate, you'll all die.
Li Mu obviously understood their situation. Sigh slightly. "Then follow me. When we get to Xing'an City, I will help you make arrangements."
"Thank you, sir!"
Although these cultivators are at a very low level, they seem to have good loyalty. They were all born into poverty and are relatively honest. There are still some people missing in Qingyun Domain, so I will send them to Cen Ming when the time comes. It's okay to help out.
But he will not send these people to Qishan.
Every cultivator in Qishan has been carefully selected. It is not easy for these cultivators to enter without being inspected.
From Shuangjiao Region to Xing'an Region, there are three regions separated. Although the distance is far, there are teleportation arrays along the way. In comparison, it is faster than the previous one.
Arriving in Xing'an City, Xu Mu issued a task through the square management. He used some spirit stones and entrusted cultivators to send the rescued cultivators to Cen Ming in Qingxia City. very smooth. Although the escort task is troublesome, there are still many people who are willing to take it as long as the price is enough.
Returning to his residence in the city, he quietly waited for Liu Zining to recover. Some things must be explained clearly. If Liu Zining really regards him as a subordinate of the demon clan, that will not be a good thing.
Counting the time, it's almost time.
After a while, Liu Zining was able to move.
She jumped up impatiently and hit her head directly on the beam with a thud, causing the whole room to shake.
She quickly fell down and stood in front of Li Mu, with tears still hanging on her face, but behind the tears was an unconcealable smile.
"I can finally move! I'm so suffocated!"
She shouted loudly, then glared at Li Mu fiercely, her cheeks puffed up, "Did you do anything to me when I was asleep?"
Li Mu spread his hands and said helplessly, "Don't you know it by yourself?"
Liu Zining held her breath and circulated her Qi for a circle. She felt that everything was fine and felt relieved.
However, he still glared at Li Mu, "Shameless villain, thank you for trusting me and going on a mission with you!"
"Miss Liu, why am I so shameless? Can you change my title?" Li Mu smiled calmly.
"It's just shameless, watch your moves!"
After she finished speaking angrily, two fist lights suddenly appeared from her hands, and she rushed towards Li Mu and punched him.
Her speed was not fast, and Li Mu had already expected it, and a breath earth shield was immediately erected in front of her.
The fist light hit the shield and disappeared instantly.
However, she did not stop, nor did she change direction. She continued to hit the earth shield with punch after punch, making a loud bang.
After a while and nearly ten thousand blows, Xu Mu said, "Is that enough?"
"not enough."
Liu Zining retorted, but her body relaxed and she sat down on the ground, her round chest rising and falling slightly, and she couldn't help but breathe.
Li Mu smiled calmly and put away the earth shield. He also knew that Liu Zining didn't really want to hit him, but that he had been paralyzed for too long and needed to vent, otherwise his body would rust.
"Shameless villain, thank you this time." Liu Zining sat on the ground without raising her head.
Li Mu said in surprise, "It's really rare that you can still say thank you."
"What's wrong with saying thank you? Although I am thanking you, it still can't change your shameless nature." She raised her head and glanced at Li Mu, then lowered her head.
"Haha, this is considered a compliment, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "I just deliberately deceived the handsome man. If I didn't do this, we would have no chance to leave."
"I know."
Liu Zining nodded lightly.
Although she had little experience, she was not a fool. She quickly figured out afterwards that those words were just Li Mu's escape plan. Moreover, she lay like a dead person for a month, and Li Mu didn't do anything to hurt her, didn't take anything away, and brought her back to Xing'an City intact. This moved her very much, but she wouldn't say it out loud.
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you understand, I don't need to explain more. Miss Liu, you can leave at any time."
"Wait a minute," Liu Zi stared at Li Mu with a lot of worry in her eyes, "But what about your brand?"
"It doesn't matter, that thing doesn't work on me." Li Mu said lightly.
"How is that possible? That's the demon soul brand. It's said to be more powerful than the monk's soul restraint. How can it be okay?"
Liu Zining glanced at Li Mu suspiciously, then her expression changed slightly, "Could it be that you really want to deceive the Golden Core cultivators into giving them?"
Li Mu's expression darkened, "I don't have the time to lie to people. I have a lot of things to do. If you don't believe me, you can just stay in Xing'an City. I won't leave in the past few months."
She patted her head, looked thoughtful, and murmured in a low voice, "It doesn't make sense. This shameless villain even saved a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, and killed a businessman in the Golden Core Realm for them. He shouldn't go there." It’s a lie...although he is really good at lying..."
Li Mu was a little speechless, "Okay, you can leave quickly. I have been in Xing'an City for the past few months. If you are worried, there are still two months away from the three months that the Demon Commander said, so just come to me again then." ”
"Who knows if we can find it? Maybe you are lying again?"
Liu Zining frowned, thought for a while, then blinked and said, "Anyway, girl, I have nothing to do. I will just follow you for the next few months."
"ah?"
"Ah what, it's settled."
She said it so calmly, as if it was meant to be like this, "Where are we going today? How about we take on another mission. I didn't succeed last time. I'm so worried. That was my first mission. It’s the first time.”
