After pondering for a moment, the Demon Soul said, "This Demon Well is extremely powerful. It is difficult for ordinary monks to penetrate the Dharma phase. However, with your strength, you can try to enter it, but don't force it. Once you find that the demon energy has signs of invading the mind, you must return immediately."

Li Muran nodded, then used the dark night magic image, and his body flashed into the depths of the magic well.

A few months later, at the entrance of a quiet room in the King of Chu’s Mansion, two young masters, Chu Qi and Chu Li, and several golden body guardians, gathered here.

"Master Zhao is meditating and practicing in the quiet room. Please don't disturb me." Mu Li blocked the ban and stopped Chu Qi and others from entering the quiet room.

Chu Qi said coldly: "I sent someone to meet with Protector Zhao many times, but he stayed in the door and didn't even reply in half. It would be too unwilling to take this young master seriously. Now I came to see him in person, but he still stayed in the door. Is this the etiquette that the Protector should have?"

Mu Li frowned and said, "The Protector Zhao has had no choice but to practice in seclusion. He cannot pay homage to his brother. I would like to ask him for forgiveness. I wonder what important things his brother has to ask for the Protector Zhao to ask him for advice, can he send other protectors instead?"

Chu Qi said: "Hmph Zhao's Protector has disappeared for several months. It is hard to say whether he is in seclusion here or no longer in the royal palace. Besides, there is only seven days before the trip to the imperial tomb. If he is really not in the royal palace, we will immediately change the candidates for the left and right guardians."

Gao Wei, who was standing beside him, said lightly: "Protector Zhao is the guardian of Young Master Li. Since Master Li is not in a hurry to urge Protector Zhao to break through the pass, why should Young Master Qi be so anxious to see Protector Zhao?"

Chu Qi said angrily: "What is my main thing to do? Where is your turn to worry about this young master who must meet the guardian Zhao today. If you don't let go, don't blame me for breaking through."

As he said that, several golden-body guardians came forward and bowed to Mu Li, saying, "Young Master Li, we are ordered to break the ban on this quiet room. Please let Young Master Li avoid it so as not to be accidentally injured."

Mu Li said coldly: "I am standing here. If you have the courage to take action against me, please take action just by taking action."

Although these golden body guardians were supported by Chu Qi, they really did not dare to hurt another young master in the royal palace and hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, the ban on the quiet room was lifted by itself, and then the stone door of the quiet room creaked open.

Li Muran then walked out of the stone gate. When he saw everyone, he was slightly stunned, then bowed and smiled: "I have only been in seclusion for several months, but I actually alarmed Young Master Qi and Young Master Li, two young masters, to lead a group of fellow Taoists to greet my subordinates. I am ashamed and dare not take it."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Li's eyes. He didn't even know when Li Muran returned to the palace and sneaked directly into the quiet room.

The guardians were immediately very embarrassed, and all their eyes looked at Chu Qi, waiting for his orders.

Chu Qi coughed lightly and said, "The Protector Zhao appeared at the right time. I have important matters to discuss with Zhao. I also asked the Protector Zhao to come to the Protector Zhao's palace for a discussion."

Mu Li said: "What's the matter with your brother? Why can't you speak openly and honestly in public?"

Chu Qi snorted coldly and said, "Since it's a secret conversation, of course you can't tell others. Don't come with Zhao's Protector, please."

Mu Li's eyes flashed with a sharp look. He suppressed his anger and walked to Li Muran, handed a jade talisman to Li Muran, and said in a voice transmission: "Be careful if there is danger, crush this talisman immediately. I will guard outside the hall and can attack in at any time."

Li Muran nodded, left here with Chu Qi, and then entered a side hall.

After entering the hall, Li Muran kept scanning the surroundings with his divine thoughts. Although he did not think that Young Master Qi would be foolishly unfavorable to him, he had to be careful.

However, Li Muran did not find any danger. As for the ban in this hall, it was very common. With his strength, he could break it in one move.

"I wonder what Young Master Qi has to give?" Li Muran asked respectfully.

Chu Qi signaled Li Muran to sit down, and then said, "The Protector Zhao can achieve today's achievements. He must be a smart young master who is not sloppy and said straight to the point."

"I know that you and my brother were old friends many years ago and had a good relationship, so my brother trusted you very much, and it would be difficult to betray me. However, I think that everything has a certain price. As long as the price is enough, any transaction can be achieved."

As he said that, Chu Qi took out a storage bag and threw it to Li Muran, saying, "There is a high-level spirit stone in this storage bag, as well as a few bottles of magic medicine and several extraordinary magic weapons, which are enough to be equivalent to the entire wealth of a late-stage monk of Dharma Statue. As long as the Dharma Protector Zhao nodded, all these treasures belong to the Dharma Protector Zhao."

"What Zhao protector has to do is very simple, you just need to follow the young master. As long as Zhao protector is willing, he can also become the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is willing to do so, and he will also gain many benefits in the future."

Li Muran smiled slightly, shook his head, and sent the storage bag back.

Chu Qi's eyes shrank, then took out a storage bag and threw it in front of Li Muran.

"Master Zhao is a smart man, why is he obsessed with it?" Chu Qi advised: "Is this treasure that is equivalent to the life savings of several late-stage monks in the Dharma phase, and is not as good as the insignificant friendship between Zhao and his younger brother two or three hundred years ago?"

"Besides, today two or three hundred years later, my brother is no longer the younger brother of the past. Even if the Protector Zhao is loyal to his younger brother, my brother will probably not be as good as before."

Li Muran still returned the storage bags to Chu Qi and said, "Maybe as Young Master Qi said, everything has a certain price. However, the price given by Young Master Qi is not enough to impress you."

"It's not enough" Chu Qi frowned, "I didn't expect that the appetite of Protector Zhao is really great, even though Protector Zhao has given conditions, I will try my best to satisfy it."

Li Muran shook his head and smiled and said, "Even if Young Master Qi gives in to the position of Young Master, he will have no interest."

"What an arrogant guy." Chu Qi was furious and stood up.

Li Muran immediately stood up and looked at Chu Qi coldly, without any fear in his eyes.

Chu Qi was not a scheming person. He quickly suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, just pretend that this young master had not mentioned this matter, it is admirable that Zhao protector is so sincere. However, my younger brother is not a simple person. At first, I thought he was just a simple young man, and I was almost confused by his appearance. Later I realized that he had always been low-key and tolerant, and on the surface he was courteous and respectful to me, but secretly he was competing with me with me, and guardian Zhao also had to be careful that he was unknowingly used by me and then abandoned me."

Li Muran held his fists quietly and bowed: "Thank you, Young Master Qi, for your advice."

Chu Qi nodded, signaling Li Muran to leave, and instructed his confidants to open the hall ban.

After seeing Li Muran walk out of the hall safely, Mu Li's expression relaxed and he immediately came forward.

"Senior Brother Zhao, he didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Mu Li asked in a voice transmission.

Li Muran shook his head and replied in a voice transmission: "Not only did not, I took out a lot of treasures and wanted to bribe me."

Mu Li seemed to have expected this, and he smiled and said, "Then he must be extremely disappointed. I believe that Senior Brother Zhao's character will definitely not be bribed by him."

"This may not be necessary," Li Muran said seriously: "It's just that the price he gave is too low and it's not enough to impress me."

Mu Li was stunned, then nodded and said, "Senior Brother Zhao's words are not unreasonable. Similarly, if someone asks me to be unfavorable to Senior Brother Zhao, he will definitely pay an unimaginable high price."

"I hope so. If the price is not high enough, I will be very disappointed," Li Muran said with a smile.

A storm subsided, and everything in the Chu Palace was as usual, and they were making final preparations for the upcoming trip to the imperial tomb.

A few days later, Li Muran and a group of more than a hundred people, led by the King of Chu, flew towards the Imperial City of Beihan Kingdom in a snow-white car.

Li Muran and Mu Li and Gao Wei shared a car with each other. Mu Li waved his hand, and a cold air sealed the surroundings of the car, forming a layer of isolated light curtains that could prevent the inlet and exit of spiritual thoughts and sounds.

"Where has Senior Brother Zhao been to these past few months?" Mu Li asked curiously.

Li Muran did not want to say it clearly, so he responded indifferently: "Just go somewhere to practice the exercises and try to improve his strength during the trip to the imperial tomb."

Seeing that Li Muran was unwilling to talk in detail, Mu Li did not ask further. He said, "Senior Brother Zhao must have achieved success in his practice. I seem to feel that Senior Brother Zhao's aura is slightly different."

"The subordinates also noticed it a little," Gao Wei echoed, "The subordinates also sensed that the breath of Protector Zhao was slightly different than a few months ago, but it was hard to say where it was different. According to common sense, it should be impossible to practice any powerful technique in just a few months. But Protector Zhao actually had a slight change in his breath, which was really incredible."

Li Muran frowned and said to the demon soul through his divine thoughts: "Even Gao Wei can see some abnormalities. It seems that I have practiced in the Demon Abyss for too long this time. The demonic energy I was contaminated with was too heavy, so it is not easy to restrain myself."

"Don't worry," said the Demon Soul: "You have just come out of the Demon Abyss, so naturally you can't hide the demonic energy on your body. In a few days, after you often suck the cold air around you, you will cover up these demonic energy and you will not easily see any flaws."
