Chapter 308

~5 min read 834 words

Among the Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, there is a technique called "Staff-Dissolution." This technique is used for swords; one can refine the sword, control it to fly, and entrust the Primordial Spirit to an object, allowing the object to take its form, and in an instant, it can transform into a real person.

Although Su Xuan had mastered the Divine Travel technique, could let his Yin Spirit roam, and perform soul-chasing and soul-snatching techniques, the Divine Travel technique was limited by his magic power and cultivation base; there were various restrictions on the distance and time of the travel.

Therefore, to overcome this drawback, Su Xuan had to use another technique, which was "Staff-Dissolution." This walking stick was made by him from top-quality dark wood. Long-term placement in a dark place, absorbing the Yin-Sha energy, made it a top-tier object for nourishing and entrusting the soul.

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

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

The walking stick fell to the ground.

In the room, the sleeping Li Mu suddenly opened his eyes. The next moment, he only saw a blurred figure appearing 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 party's hands.

With the soul leaving the body, Li Mu's breath also suddenly ceased.

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

Su Xuan had left him one soul, which was the "Life Soul." The three souls are Heaven, Earth, and Man; the Man soul is also known as the "Life Soul." As long as the Life Soul remains, it means Li Mu still has a glimmer of life, but this glimmer 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 were too mysterious; even a divine doctor like Nian Duan had never heard of it before meeting Yan Dan, let alone ordinary doctors.

Carrying Li Mu's two souls and seven spirits, Su Xuan's Yin Spirit submerged back into the walking stick, and then, controlling the walking stick, flew away from here with the help of the night sky.

Soon, the walking stick flew toward the eastern city of Handan.

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

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

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

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

Was Li Mu already dead?

His doubts were soon answered.

The next day, when the servants in Li Mu's residence called for Li Mu to wake up, they did not hear any movement for a long time. After plucking up the courage to push open Li Mu's door, they saw Li Mu lying on the ground, dead, his body already cold.

This was a terrifying event.

The great general of Zhao Guo, known as the "God of War," Li Mu, had died in his residence 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 doctors, Li Mu had no traces of poison; if it were assassination, there were no wounds on his body.

He died in such an inexplicable way.

Even Guo Kai, after knowing this, could not help but marvel at the methods of the Qin people, letting Li Mu die inexplicably without leaving any traces. The Qin people were truly formidable.

However, this made it much easier for him to handle the aftermath.

In the end, under Guo Kai's instruction, the doctor who examined Li Mu gave a conclusion on 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.

Li Mu passed away from illness, and Zhao Qian also mourned hypocritically, while in his heart, he could not be happier.

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

At night, after Li Mu was buried, a group of people came to his tomb, dug up his corpse, and sent it to another place. ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
