Chapter 619 Is There Something Else That We Don’t Know Yet?
The Divine Force Sect also had its own planet, only that it was a mere sixth-cla.s.s planet.
After all, in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, the Divine Force Sect could only be regarded as a second-rate sect. It was already surprising that it owned a planet.
Wei Murong, the head of the Divine Force Sect, was a person of peevish temper. He had been collecting illegitimate wealth on his planet. If anything slightly went against his will, he would punish others immediately, causing the cultivators of various clans on the planet to be angry but dared not say anything. In daily life, Wei Murong was also arrogant and domineering. He looked down on everyone else and often said something ridiculously overweening. He was also well-known in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region for his madness.
But it was said that the reason why he was not taken down was that he had a strong backer in the Ziwei Star Zone.
Rumor had it that Wei Murong was a collateral descendant of the Two Forms Origin Dynasty, which a force was ranked third in the Ziwei Star Zone.
That was why he dared to mock Li Mu on the Immortal Net like this time and refused to admit his mistake no matter what.
Even so, in case Li Mu launched a sneak attack against him, he still made some preparations, including directly shutting down the Teleportation Deployment leading to the Divine Force Star.
Li Mu showed up in the Star Posthouse closest to the Divine Force Star. Then, he rented a s.p.a.ce shuttle and traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers in the cosmos before landing precisely in the Divine Force City.
Even the defensive tactic deployment of the Gold Sun Sect, a first-rate sect, couldn’t stop Li Mu, let alone a second-rate sect like the Divine Force Sect.
Li Mu neatly cut the Two Forms Divine Deployment in pieces with his broadsword.
“Li Mu!”
Wei Murong was as ferocious as a tiger. He was three meters tall. Apparently, he was a member of the alien clan in the universe who was of giant ancestry. Looking savage, he held a huge ax in his hand and stared at Li Mu, growling, “I am from the collateral bloodline of the Two Forms Origin Dynasty. The blood flowing in my veins…”
“Swoos.h.!.+”
A flash of broadsword light zoomed by.
The head of Wei Murong, the master of the Divine Force Sect, flew up to the air.
“… Is that of Giant Deity…” While his lips were still moving, he saw in the midair that his headless body slowly fall down.
In an instant, a huge wave of horror overwhelmed him. How come Li Mu dared to kill him before he could finish his words?
Even at the last moment of his life, Wei Murong still couldn’t believe it.
Li Mu directly rushed into the gate of the Divine Force Sect. As his Third Eye scanned the place, all the disciples of the Divine Force Sect stained with the smell of blood and sin were killed. Not a single one of them was spared. Indeed, Li Mu’s means were utterly cruel.
In less than two hours, the Divine Force Sect was annihilated and gone forever.
The surviving disciples of the Divine Force Sect knelt on the ground, s.h.i.+vering. They did not even have the nerve to run away.
Li Mu pocketed all the resources and treasures stored in the Divine Force Sect. Then, he boarded the s.p.a.ce shuttle and left right off.
On his way here, he learned that the Divine Force Sect was a tyrant on this planet. It was simply a malignant tumor. The sect had engaged in all sorts of evil, such as selling slaves, slaughtering animals, using living people to cultivate. It was a real devil’s nest. Also, in the past, this Divine Force Sect was the main force hunting and killing “sinners”. It had also murdered the descendants of some “sinners”. Therefore, Li Mu did not feel any tinge of guilt wiping out this sect.
On the s.p.a.ce shuttle, Li Mu directly logged into the Immortal Net and entered the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. He posted the entire footage of him killing Jin Yuanyi the Gold Sun Warlord and destroying the Divine Force Sect online and charged a fee for it.
Without waiting for the reaction of the cultivators and netizens on the forum, Li Mu directly logged out from the Immortal Net.
He took the s.p.a.ce shuttle and returned to that Star Posthouse. Then, through the Teleportation Deployment, he directly landed on the home planet of the Feng Clan.
“I’m Feng Yueyang, Chief of the Feng Clan. Please forgive me for not welcoming General Li from afar.” An old man of the Feng Clan had long been waiting at the exit of the Teleportation Deployment. The moment he saw Li Mu, he immediately came to welcome Li Mu politely with his clansmen.
General Li?
Li Mu was a little confused when he heard that.
Why did the cultivators in the universe also like to give others flattering t.i.tles?
He had originally rushed over murderously. But now that this white-haired elder from the Feng Clan had hailed him so cordially, for some reason, half of his killing intent immediately dissipated.
“My son, Feng Liusheng, doesn’t know how high the sky is and how vast the earth is. He should know better than to ruffle the feathers of General Li.” The old man smiled and beckoned, saying, “Come on, bring that little brat here.”
The experts of the Feng Clan immediately shoved a tied-up young man around 19 to the front.
“Let go of me. Why should I apologize to him? I’m not wrong. Justice will not fold. Righteousness will not fall. I’d rather die than apologize to this interstellar butcher…” The young man’s face was scarlet, and his expression was filled with righteous indignation. He was struggling as if he were a hero who was about to die for justice.
Li Mu rubbed his nose.
Well, this was getting interesting.
Before coming here, he had checked on the Immortal net and found that the reputation of the Feng Clan in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was not particularly bad. It was a clan sitting on the fence. It was said that the clansmen had the blood of the ancient Wind G.o.d running in their veins. Yet, that divine blood was already very thin. Because the clan had no principle, it often changed its stance according to circ.u.mstances. Therefore, it was ridiculed by many as “the Soft Spine Clan”. So, it actually made sense that the head of the Feng Clan came here in advance to admit defeat this time.
But why did Feng Liusheng have such a backbone?
Could it be that the Feng Clan, which was known as the “Soft Spine Clan”, had fostered a tough member?
Li Mu secretly observed with his Third Eye and found that this Feng Liusheng was not pretending to be indignant. Instead, he was really prepared to die for justice. Li Mu suddenly began to admire this young man.
“As long as you kneel down and concede your errors, I will not kill you today,” Li Mu looked at Feng Liusheng and said with a calm face.
Feng Liusheng was about 19 years old. He had the handsome features and white, tip-tilted eyebrows unique to the Feng Clan. He was slenderer than an ordinary man. Around his long green hair flowed a faint cyan cyclone. This was the natural affinity for the air of the Feng Clan. He looked at Li Mu coldly and said with a reddened face, “Bah, you want me to bow my head to you, a murderous maniac? Dream on! You can just kill me.”
“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Li Mu looked at him and asked.
Feng Liusheng held up his head with the excitement and righteousness only the hot-blooded youth could possess. He straightened his back and said firmly, “A wild goose leaves a mark in the sky. And the wind leaves a mark in its path. Even if I die, I will die for justice and fairness. I want to tell the whole universe that my Feng Clan does not have a soft spine. If my death could arouse the pa.s.sion of the Feng Clan, I would die without complaints. As for you, a murderous maniac, sooner or later, you will get your retribution.”
Li Mu nodded and turned to leave.
“Good for you. You do have some guts. I hope that after you’ve seen the universe, you’ll still be able to keep your original aspiration.”
Although this kind of man was a little slow in distinguis.h.i.+ng right from wrong and was often used by others, he should not die in Li Mu’s hands.
The Teleportation Deployment was activated again.
Li Mu’s figure gradually disappeared behind the silver brilliance issued by the Teleportation Deployment.
The people of the Feng Clan were all kind of baffled.
The chief of the Feng Clan stood rooted on the spot. He had also prepared some cultivation resources and money to appease Li Mu’s anger. But now… he no longer needed to do that, did he?
Even Feng Liusheng himself could not understand what had happened.
He had thought that he would definitely be killed today. Because on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, the post Li Mu had posted less than two hours ago clearly showed the fate of Jin Yuanyi and Wei Murong. The whole Divine Force Sect had even been directly wiped out and disappeared from the universe, which shocked the whole forum. All the people whose names Li Mu had singled out were now s.h.i.+vering with fear. Thus, Feng Liusheng had braced himself for sacrificing his life for justice.
But Li Mu, the murderous maniac whose hands were stained with blood, chose not to kill him, did he?
“What on earth is happening?”
The hot-blooded young man of the Feng Clan stood on the spot in silence.
He recalled the words Li Mu said to him before he left. Suddenly, he felt that he should go out and adventure in the vast universe.
In the next two days, countless cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region were thoroughly astounded.
Jin Yuanyi, an elder of the Gold Sun Sect, had been killed, and the sect had paid reparations with humiliation.
The Divine Force Sect had been exterminated.
The Feng Clan had given in.
Yin Chao from the Qianyuan Sect had died.
So had Lan Wuyu from the Lan Clan.
Like Death holding a scythe, Li Mu continuously took the lives of people who had provoked, taunted, and cursed him on the Immortal Net.
When most people thought that Li Mu’s previous threat was just a bluff, Li Mu decided to stick to his words and put his threat into practice. Even though later Yin Chao from the Qianyuan Sect, Lan Wuyu from the Lan Clan, and others yielded, admitted their errors, and begged for mercy, they were still not spared by Li Mu’s harsh broadsword light.
Such a reality made countless people tremble in horror.
They were frightened by Li Mu’s callous slaughter.
If the cultivators were just in awe of Li Mu’s strength after learning from the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region that Li Mu had killed the four elders in the Soldier Realm of the Tianyi Palace, now, all the cultivators had distinctly felt the toughness and strong-willed means of this rising star in the martial arts society in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
He was really a fearless General Realm cultivator who would never compromise.
The cultivators realized that if they played hardball on Li Mu, Li Mu would handle them with tougher means.
Those cultivators and sects who had cooperated with Yin Chao, Lan Wuyu, and others in mocking and provoking Li Mu were now completely scared out of their minds. Too desperate to care about saving face, they hurriedly posted posts on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region as fast as they could, apologizing tearfully and offering Li Mu the amount of remuneration as required without hesitation.
For a while, on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, everyone turned pale at the mention of Li Mu.
A lot of people began to feel anxious. They carefully searched their memories to make sure if they had spoken ill of Li Mu when the ma.s.ses were all slandering and cursing him.
However, few people noticed that in fact, the cultivators who really upheld justice and did not bow to the more powerful had never suffered Li Mu’s retaliation, even though they had motivated others on the forum to hunt Li Mu down and avenge the victims on the South Street. Li Mu even had not said a word against those people.
Three days later.
Li Mu returned to Star Wind City.
He had already received all the things he had ordered on the Immortal Net.
Most of the objects were given to Guo Yuqing and Ding Yi, leaving only a small part for himself.
In the past few days, he had scored the gains worth more than 500 gold-colored fairy crystals by “extortion”. This was quite astonis.h.i.+ng.
Li Mu put away half of the fortune as the compensation he deserved after taking all the slander and spending a lot of effort to punis.h.i.+ng the wrongdoers. As for the remaining half, he entrusted the Immortal Net to set up a fund called “the pension for the victims of the ma.s.sacre on the South Street”, so as to compensate and comfort the innocent people who had lost their parents, husbands, wives, and children in this ma.s.sacre.
After that, Li Mu quietly left Star Wind City.
Guo Yuqing had also said goodbye to Li Mu and set foot on the road of cultivation alone, hoping to really enter the Mortal Realm as soon as possible. This way, he could establish a firm foothold in the universe and bring his wife and children to the universe. He knew that Li Mu still had heavy responsibilities on his shoulder, so he didn’t want to burden Li Mu anymore.
Of course, Guo Yuqing would also help Li Mu to inquire about the whereabouts of Hua Xiangrong and w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu.
Anyway, with the messaging token and the Net Card, although the universe was vast, he could still contact Li Mu timely.
Zuo Qingqing continued to run her All-directional Star Bureau. Li Mu gave her an investment in private and became one of the shareholders of the All-directional Star Bureau. However, this had been kept a secret, for Li Mu had too many enemies in the universe, and if the news was made public, it would instead harm the future of the All-directional Star Bureau.
Then, when the Immortal Net official announced the establishment of the “pension for the victims of the ma.s.sacre on the South Street” and the exorbitant amount of wealth that the fund had, the entire Immortal Net was in an uproar.
What was going on?
“Why has the murderer set up a compensation fund for his victims?”
“Is this a show of the crocodile’s tears?”
“Or is there something else that we don’t know yet?”
