Chapter 243 Incarnation Restrictions, Liu Family Submits, Liu Mu?

Wangxian City is located at the bottom of the Hengyang River.

The celestial canopy is created through the creation of realms and the formation of magic arrays.

After a day, Li Wushou also discovered the differences between Wangxian City and the outside world.

That means the days are long and the nights are short!

The daytime lasted a full nine hours, while the nighttime lasted only three hours.

According to the Hanging Mountain, this kind of lifestyle can bring ordinary people closer to "immortals" and enhance their affinity with the immortals.

Li Wushou scoffed. The exploitation of the people could be linked to immortality, which truly matched his first impression of the hypocrisy of the Suspended Mountain.

When we left the Wufang City God Temple, the sky was still overcast.

After crossing the moat and entering the territory of the Twenty-Four Clans, it was already broad daylight.

Along the way, Li Wushou spent his time observing the layout of the entire Wangxian City and scrutinizing Huoyao Zhenren.

The spirit of the belly god had deeply parasitized him, but to outsiders, he was still the clan elder who was devoted to Gongsun.

Even he himself was completely unaware of this, and often stood on the side of the Gongsun family to confront Li Wushou.

He also felt anger and displeasure at Li Wushou's many actions that harmed the Gongsun family. And after Li Wushou distorted his perception, the other party quickly came to understand his own logic.

In a while, if Li Wushou wished, he could refine the Fire Radiance True Man into an incarnation at any time.

If one were to truly cultivate an avatar, without Li Wushou's control or intervention, the other party would, in a sense, be Li Wushou with the logical thinking of Huo Yao Zhenren.

After this period of exploration, Li Wushou also discovered that the ability of the Abdominal God to bewitch, parasitize, and refine bodies was linked to the power of the soul.

It's difficult to even parasitize something beyond one's own spiritual power, let alone refine an avatar.

Simply bewitching someone seems simpler; at least the Dragon King's emotions were significantly influenced by Li Wushou.

Before Li Wushou seized his divine power, the Abdominal God had already created the incarnations of the Old Snail and the White Bone Cicada, which was his limit. After Li Wushou seized his divine power, thanks to the nourishment of the Golden Core, his divine soul has improved, allowing him to create one more incarnation.

But Li Wushou has no intention of refining Huo Yao Zhenren. What future does a Golden Core Zhenren of his age have?
We need to create some useful avatars.

He had already considered that, given his current situation, it would be best to refine some avatars that could help him improve his divine soul.

At that time, one's spiritual power will greatly increase. The more avatars one refines, the greater one's spiritual power will become.
Chen Gou'er applauded the plan and praised it highly:
"Li Wushou, you're so clever! How come I didn't think of this method? I'm going to do it too. The more I eat, the stronger my flesh and blood become. The stronger my flesh and blood become, the more I can eat."

"."

The old beggar rolled his eyes, mercilessly shattering Li Wushou and Chen Gou'er's illusions.

"Stop dreaming! You can only create a maximum of nine incarnations, and the Three Immortals Pavilion doesn't have that much food!"

Li Wushou and Chen Gou'er were both disappointed, and then asked at the same time:

Why can there only be a maximum of nine avatars?

"Why doesn't the Three Immortals Restaurant have enough food?"

The old beggar rolled his eyes so hard they almost popped into his brain, and replied irritably:

"How would I know? There can only be nine Gods, unless you're more powerful than God."

Then the old beggar pointed at Chen Gou'er and muttered curses:

"How dare you ask why? Because the more you eat, the less food there is at the Three Immortals Restaurant."

"bare"

Upon waking from the dream, Li Wushou, though somewhat disappointed, quickly composed himself.

After all, with his current abilities, if he refines one more, including the previous two, he will only have three, which is still far from refining nine.

After crossing the area of ​​the Twenty-Four Clans, Li Wushou and Huo Yao Zhenren stood in front of the Liu family's mansion a moment later.

Qi Wang's mansion covers an area so vast that even Li Wushou could not see the boundary.

The two guards at the gate were also surprised to see Li Wushou and Huo Yao Zhenren descend from the sky. Thinking that great masters had come to visit, they hurriedly came to greet them.

Master Huoyao snorted coldly, ignoring the two guards' greetings, and directly sent a telepathic message into the inner courtyard of the Liu family.

"I, Gongsun Huoyao, am visiting the Liu family today with High Priest Li Wushou. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask when exactly the Gongsun family offended the Liu family, allowing them to sow discord and exploit us like this!"

Master Huoyao's aura was powerful, and the two guards fainted as their eyes rolled back.

Upon hearing Huo Yao Zhenren's telepathic message, the Liu family was immediately thrown into an uproar.

"Gongsun Huoyao and High Priest Li Wushou?"

"Is it Li Wushou from yesterday?"

"."

While Master Liu was eating breakfast with the servants serving him, he heard this voice transmission, smashed the teacup in his hand, and abruptly got up and walked towards the door.

He didn't sleep a wink last night after returning home, spending the entire night discussing matters with the elders of his clan.

Some people agreed to find Mu Tong first, apologize to her, and appease Li Wushou. Others disagreed, feeling that the other party might not necessarily target the Liu family, and that going now would be too weak.

They argued back and forth, but nothing came of it.

Master Liu was furious. In his opinion, it would be best to tie Liu Mu up and send him directly to the City God Temple in Wufang City.

Otherwise, he always had a feeling that his eyes were about to be gouged out at any moment.

Now look what's happened, they've come knocking on our door!

As Liu Zhangjia walked out, people kept gathering around him.

With a snort of anger, Headmaster Liu said to the people around him, "Go and invite all the clan elders who discussed matters last night out!" If we're going to be stingy, we should all be stingy together; I can't be the only one being stingy!
Those around him, seeing the head of the household's angry expression, misunderstood and thought he was about to have a big fight with the other party, so they quickly turned around and went to inform the clan elders.

After some commotion, the Liu family arrived at the gate in a grand procession.

Li Wushou and Huoyao Zhenren stood in the void without saying a word.

When Liu Zhangjia saw this scene, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes, but as the head of a clan, he naturally possessed the necessary composure.

He stepped forward solemnly, clasped his hands in greeting to Li Wushou and Huo Yao Zhenren, who were still in mid-air, and said:
"The arrival of the High Priest and the Immortal is an honor to the Liu family. Please, please come in!"

Master Huoyao, however, did not have a pleasant expression. Seeing that Li Wushou showed no intention of making a move, he coldly snorted and said:
"No need. Today is not for reminiscing, but simply to ask Master Liu why he instigated the relationship between my Gongsun family and the Five City Gods?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu's expression also turned ugly.

When you were bullying people, your Gongsun family didn't come to hold us accountable. Now that you've been kicked in the back, you feel the pain and want to shift the blame?
Even if the Liu family can't escape the blame, they absolutely cannot bear the responsibility alone.

"What do you mean by this, Master? When has my Liu family ever sown discord between the Gongsun family and the Five Directions City God? My Liu family and the Five Directions City are one family, so how can you say we are sowing discord?"

Master Huoyao was furious and shouted:

"Still dare to deny it? The Soul Burial Forest outside Wufang City harbors the Yin spirits that are the incarnations of concubines of my Gongsun family members. Liu Qingmei killed her before she died, but your Liu family member Liu Mu lied and claimed that the Yin spirits were tricked and killed by Mu Tong and the High Priest of the New City God Temple, so as to make the Gongsun family resent the City God Mu Tong and cause a misunderstanding! You still dare to deny it now?"

After saying that, Master Huoyao roared angrily, still not satisfied:
"With the High Priest's abilities, would he need to collude with the City God to massacre a mere Earthly Deity? Just bring Liu Mu out and ask him!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou's expression became slightly strange.

He actually wanted to say that Liu Mu's guess was pretty accurate, the only basis for which was that Mu Tong hadn't actually participated, so it was an undeserved disaster.

Li Wushou used the City God's Seal intending to shift the blame to Liu Qingmei, since she was no longer around and he could easily take the fall. However, he didn't expect that Liu Mu would then pin the blame on Mu Tong.

So, by that logic, Liu Mu wasn't wronged!
Li Wushou could roughly guess the other party's intentions. The other party originally coveted the position of City God of Wufang City, but unexpectedly Mu Tong took it first, so he wanted to use someone else to kill him.

Upon hearing this, Master Liu seemed to be hearing it for the first time, and his face showed a look of great surprise.

"Is that so? I didn't know that. Go and bring Liu Mu over."

After turning his head to give an instruction to the Liu family member beside him, Headmaster Liu continued:

"Before Liu Mu came, this was just one person's opinion, but there's something I have to say."

Even if Liu Mu really verified the wrong information, it was due to his limited personal ability. How could the Liu family be accused of sowing discord between Gongsun and the Five City Gods?
Even the spirits of the Gongsun family members have been able to run rampant outside the Five Directions City on the south bank for many years. How could the Liu family possibly command the actions of the five Gongsun families?

Previously, Master Liu might have been somewhat mindful of the prestige of the five clans, but the two floating factions had already made their moves clear yesterday, and now he couldn't care less about that for the sake of his own eyes.

Gongsun Huoyao was quite angry at Liu Zhangjia's words.

These words were practically pointing a finger at the Gongsun family, calling them stupid!
"You! Presumptuous!"

Li Wushou was getting annoyed watching the two argue. He had no good feelings towards the Liu family or the Gongsun family. Once the battle for the Heavenly God Token began, he would not hesitate to take advantage of any opportunity.

So Li Wushou spoke directly:
"Stop arguing. Hand over Liu Mu. Furthermore, all future annual tributes from Wufang City will be directly given to the Dragon God, and the Liu family will have no further connection with them. This matter is settled here."

His visit to the Liu family today to find the so-called culprit was just a pretext. In his opinion, even if Liu Mu did fabricate the information, without the Liu family head's authorization, would the other party dare to use the Five Surnames Gongsun's knife?

Therefore, killing Liu Mu was not worth the trip he made in person; killing the head of the Liu family would be more worthwhile.

However, he finally managed to get to the table yesterday, and it's not time to kill the likes of Manager Liu yet.

Therefore, he specifically invited Gongsun Huoyao to come and identify the place, in order to take this opportunity to sever ties between Wufang City and the Liu family.

This can be considered a consolation to Liu Qingmei!
Although Li Wushou didn't have much contact with Liu Qingmei, he actually admired her a lot.

Unexpectedly, these words caused an uproar in the Liu family.

An elder from the outer alchemy clan behind Master Liu couldn't help but speak up:
"Isn't the High Priest's request a bit too much? Not to mention that there is no evidence for Huo Yao Zhenren's statement, even if it were true, it would have been done by Liu Mu alone. How could it be considered a separation between the Five Directions City and the Liu family?"

Li Wushou glanced at the elder with interest, and the elder felt a chill run down his spine.

Immediately afterward, his expression changed drastically, because Li Wushou, who had been standing in the void, suddenly disappeared from his spot and reappeared in front of him.

The elder of the Waidan clan hurriedly opened his domain, attempting to keep Li Wushou outside of it.

"boom!"

A punch, like that of a prehistoric beast, slammed directly into the opponent's domain.

The violent blood energy tore the Dharma Domain to shreds, and the Outer Core cultivator was sent flying, crashing into the outer wall of the Liu family mansion.

With a loud crash, the outer wall collapsed, burying the Taoist master in a pile of bricks and stones.

The Liu family was shocked and rushed to search for them.

Li Wushou stood still, glanced indifferently at Manager Liu, and said:
"I don't want to make things difficult for the Liu family. Consider this a reminder. We both know the ins and outs of this situation. Whether it's the Gongsun family or the Liu family, none of those who deserve to die will escape. Besides, since the Liu family can no longer protect Wufang City, cutting ties is inevitable. Does anyone have any objections?"

Li Wushou spoke slowly and deliberately, and after finishing, he looked around at the crowd. No one present dared to look directly at him.

Manager Liu's expression changed several times, but finally he gritted his teeth, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and replied:

"As the High Priest says!"

Li Wushou nodded slightly, "Good that you know what's good for you!"

Just then, two members of the Liu family, carrying a gray-haired man who looked somewhat listless, arrived at the gate of the Liu residence.

"Chief, Liu Mu has been delivered!"

Li Wushou, who was about to stand firmly in the void again, paused and stared intently in the direction he was looking.

"Is this Liu Mu?"

Even at midnight, the average daily price isn't rising, the pressure is a bit high, everyone please keep subscribing!
