I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Li Mu said, "There's no need to kill them, but it's not advisable to release them now either."

Ningruan had no objections.

He asked, looking towards the light mirror, "Where are you now? We're coming to find you."

Mu Yiqiu did not answer.

But the sword light was even more dazzling.

Ning Ruan: "..." They really got carried away.

Since Mu Yiqiu didn't say anything, she couldn't just run around on her own.

We have no choice but to wait.

The two stood outside the altar.

Li Mu glanced at the three Shadow Clan cultivators in the mirror, who were already at a disadvantage, and transmitted his voice to Ning Ruan, "What did you ask the Northern King about just now?"

"Because I'm curious," Ning Ruan repeated her answer patiently.

Li Mu just stared at her.

Under the silent night sky, even though she couldn't see with the naked eye, Ning Ruan was certain that General Li's gaze was fixed on her.

After thinking for a moment, she also sent a telepathic message, her tone serious: "I want to get rid of him."

Li Mu: "..."

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Ning Ruan: "?" I already said that.

But clearly, General Li did not believe it.

She couldn't very well tell General Li that she had already contacted the Wuyin Bandits and was preparing to collude with them to see if they could get rid of the Northern King.

The battle in the light mirror is nearing its end.

Swords flashed and shadows danced.

Although Mu Yiqiu was fighting three opponents at once, she firmly held the upper hand.

The sword strikes were sharp and domineering, and also carried a hint of a fighting spirit that grew stronger with each battle.

"Her cultivation has improved a lot," Ning Ruan commented, then casually took out a spirit fruit from her storage ring and started eating it, looking like she was watching a show. "However, I feel like something's not quite right."

But where exactly?

She hasn't figured it out yet either.

Li Mu's gaze also fell on the light mirror. After a moment, he said calmly, "There seems to be something else in her sword aura. I can't be sure through the light mirror, but her current strength is indeed far beyond the eleventh realm."

He paused, then added, "Even someone of the same realm and destiny might not be her match right now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a shrill scream came from the mirror.

With a single sword strike, Mu Yiqiu pierced through the shadows, the tip of his sword precisely striking the forehead of one of the Shadow Clan cultivators.

The protective aura around the Shadow Clan cultivator instantly dissipated, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell straight down.

Upon seeing this, the remaining two Shadow Clan cultivators visibly faltered in their attacks, their faces showing fear.

Mu Yiqiu pressed her advantage, her sword strikes growing even faster, as she shouted, "See that, Ning Ruan! Next!"

Ning Ruan: "..." She now strongly suspects that after she finishes dealing with these three Shadow Clan members, the guy surnamed Mu will come and beat her up.

She can now barely kill those at the thirteenth realm.

However, given Mu Yiqiu's current abilities, it's hard to say who would win in a head-on confrontation.

Ningruan was also somewhat eager to try.

Her cultivation level has increased more than just that.

After leaving that space, her mental strength also experienced an astonishing boost.

Mu Yiqiu was still fighting.

Several more cultivators emerged from the altar.

I didn't see any Xuan Shui Clan members.

They must have all come out after taking the advice they had been given.

"Senior Li... Fellow Daoist Ning."

The cultivators trembled with fear.

How can one not be afraid?

Their timing couldn't have been worse.

His gaze kept shifting back and forth between the two Shadow Clan cultivators lying on the ground.

Li Mu turned around, glanced at them indifferently, and then said, "Humans can stay and follow us."

Among the cultivators, only one was human.

Upon hearing this, he was overjoyed.

Even though he wasn't from Dong Qin, he still greatly admired this general from Dong Qin who was known as the God of Slaughter.

Seeing that he had spoken, there was no room for hesitation.

"Thank you very much, Senior Li." After expressing his gratitude excitedly, he quickly added, "Thank you also, Fellow Daoist Ning."

The human cultivators were extremely excited.

The other cultivators were in a very difficult situation.

"Senior Li, then... can we come along too?"

The speaker was a cultivator from the Lingsha Clan.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Ning Ruan, "Before... before, I was able to get to the altar smoothly only by following Fellow Daoist Ning. I have never laid a hand on the human race."

Li Mu remained calm and said expressionlessly, "Soon, cultivators from the ten major races will come in, and they will take you out."

The cultivators were all taken aback for a moment, then their faces lit up with joy.

If the ten major races can manage it, that would be ideal.

At most, they'll just have to pay some spirit stones; the ten major races won't make things difficult for them for no reason.

However, as they spoke, another Shadow Clan member had already disappeared from the mirror.

Only one Shadow Clan cultivator remained.

Having witnessed the deaths of two of his tribesmen, he dared not fight again.

Turn around and flee.

In the darkness, all that could be seen was the sword light chasing after the Shadow Clan cultivator.

Another scream rang out.

The Shadow Clan cultivator fell to the ground.

The sword flashed and returned.

The world seemed to be shrouded in darkness once again.

You could faintly hear Mu Yiqiu's slightly heavy breathing.

Clearly, she won, but it wasn't an easy victory.

The exertion was excessive, and there may have been injuries as well.

The cultivators who were just about to leave: "..."

They suddenly found themselves unable to move.

Having understood the situation with the light mirror, they were now staring intently at the sound transmission talisman in Ning Ruan's hand.

That's right, it's this thing that projects this light mirror.

"Ning Ruan, do you dare to fight me?"

Inside the light mirror, Mu Yiqiu's arrogant voice came from within.

She said, "I feel incredibly strong right now!"

"..." Ning Ruan gave a curt "Oh," and then asked, "So, do you still need to go out?"

"You know how to get out?" Mu Yiqiu was astonished.

Ning Ruan: "Since you are already terrifyingly strong, you should be able to break through the portal yourself, step out of the void, and return to the Eternal Realm. Oh, the Spirit Realm is also an option."

Li Mu: "..."

Several cultivators: "..."

Mu Yiqiu: "..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the light mirror before her voice, filled with gritted teeth, came through: "No more fighting, no more fighting! It's freezing! How can we get out?"

Ning Ruan said calmly, "Location."

Mu Yiqiu seemed to take a deep breath and gave the approximate location.

"Alright, don't move around for now, we're coming to find you," Ning Ruan said.

Locating a location on a vast glacier is actually very difficult; if you only have a general direction, finding someone becomes a huge undertaking.

Mu Yiqiu hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Um... if I want to go out, do you have to come find me?"
