Chapter 307

Among the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, there is a technique called "Staff Liberation." This technique is used for swords; one can refine a sword, fly on a sword, or entrust one's Primordial Spirit to an object, allowing that object to act as a substitute, which can transform into a real person in an instant.

Although Su Xuan had mastered the Art of Divine Travel and could send his Yin Spirit out to roam, performing techniques like soul-chasing and soul-snatching, the Art of Divine Travel was limited by his magic power and cultivation base, with various restrictions on the distance and time of travel.

Therefore, to change this drawback, Su Xuan had to use another technique, which was "Staff Liberation." This walking stick was made by him from high-quality dark wood. Kept in a dark place for a long time to absorb Yin-evil energy, it was a top-tier object for nourishing and entrusting souls.

His Yin Spirit could stay on it for a very long time.

The Yin Spirit manipulated the walking stick, and soon, it arrived at the door of Li Mu's room.

The walking stick fell to the ground.

In the room, the soundly sleeping Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The next instant, he only saw a blurry figure appear before him. The figure reached out, and in an instant, Li Mu's soul palpitated; his three souls and seven spirits shook one after another, then detached from his body and flew out, falling into the other's hand.

As the soul left the body, Li Mu's breath also abruptly ceased.

No, it could not be said to have ceased completely.

Su Xuan had still left him one soul, which was the "Life Soul." Of the three souls—Heaven, Earth, and Man—the human soul is also called the "Life Soul." As long as the Life Soul remains, it means Li Mu still has a glimmer of life, but this glimmer of life is extremely faint, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

And if one were to investigate from the surface, one would find that Li Mu was already dead.

After all, things like soul-snatching are truly too mysterious; even a divine doctor like Nian Duan had never heard of it before meeting Yan Dan, let alone ordinary physicians.

Carrying Li Mu's two souls and seven spirits, Su Xuan's Yin Spirit submerged back into the walking stick, and then, he steered the walking stick to fly away from there with the help of the night sky.

Soon, this walking stick flew toward the direction of the East City of Handan.

The walking stick fell into a courtyard, and Su Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the room, opened his eyes.

He took the initiative to call for his entourage and instructed: "A few days later, on the day of Li Mu's funeral, find a way to get hold of Li Mu's corpse!"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, the man was suddenly stunned.

How did it suddenly progress to seizing Li Mu's corpse?

Was Li Mu already dead?

His confusion was soon answered.

The next day, when the servants in Li Mu's mansion called for Li Mu to wake up, they did not hear any movement for a long time. Gathering their courage, they pushed open Li Mu's bedroom door and saw Li Mu lying on the ground, dead, his body already cold.

This was an incredibly shocking event.

The Grand General of Zhao Guo, known as the "God of War," Li Mu, had died in his mansion just like that.

And looking at General Li Mu's appearance yesterday, it did not seem like he had any hidden illness at all.

This matter caused a huge stir. Many people wanted to know how Li Mu died. Some suspected poisoning, others suspected assassination. But if it were poisoning, after examination by physicians, Li Mu had no traces of poisoning; if it were assassination, there were no wounds on his body either.

He died just like that, without rhyme or reason.

Even Guo Kai, after learning of this, could not help but click his tongue in wonder at the methods of the Qin people. Making Li Mu die without rhyme or reason, without leaving any traces—the Qin people were truly formidable.

However, this way, it was much easier for him to tie up the loose ends.

Finally, under Guo Kai's instruction, the physician who examined Li Mu gave a conclusion regarding Li Mu's death.

Li Mu had died suddenly from a hidden illness.

Regardless of whether anyone believed this conclusion, if it were not explained this way, it would be impossible to explain how Li Mu died at all.

With Li Mu dead, Zhao Qian also feigned mourning for a while, while in his heart, he could not have been happier.

Because of the hot weather, Li Mu's corpse was not kept in the mansion for too long. After a few days, it was transported to the auspicious burial site chosen for him by Zhao Qian and buried.

At night, after Li Mu was buried, another group of people came to his tomb, dug up his corpse, and sent it to another place.
