w.a.n.g Yanyi stood on the periphery of the square, covering his tracks and waiting.
Actually, he came out of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm a long time ago.
Thanks to that mysterious beam of purple-gold light, he had broken the shackles and improved his power greatly, and his aura had changed. Taking advantage of the chaos in the square, he left the crowd and came to the periphery of the square without being noticed.
“Why hasn’t he come out yet?”
w.a.n.g Yanyi scanned the people in the square, but did not find Li Yidao.
He had a bad feeling welling up inside him.
Just then, another two beams of divine light descended from the sky.
In the presence of countless people, Huangfu Chengdao—the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan and Guan Zhen walked out from the divine light.
As soon as Guan Zhen showed up, he immediately performed a magical skill to hide his tracks.
He did so because most people did not know that the protectors also entered the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
It was a game played by great powers and large clans. It involved the matter of fairness, so it was unsuitable for the protectors to turn up on such an occasion.
“Everyone, Li Yidao has killed many people mercilessly and brutally in the secret realm. All the Heavenly Legends that are dead have died at his hands...” Huangfu Chengdao announced loudly as soon as he showed up and saw the looks of the people in the square.
It was an agreed accusation against Li Yidao.
They wanted to get Li Yidao to take all the blame.
What Huangfu Chengdao said was like a huge stone thrown into a lake that was not calm in the first place.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
“What? Li Yidao did it?”
“Did Li Yidao kill other Heavenly Legends?”
“He’s a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“Where is he?”
The leaders of various large clans and great powers, who were feeling grief and sorrow, all exploded in rage.
Huangfu Chengdao said, “I saw Li Yidao killing countless people. I hunted him down and smashed him into powder. Both his body and his soul were obliterated. That can be considered an act of revenge that I took for all the Heavenly Legends that died at Li Yidao’s hands. Unfortunately, it was already too late when I found out everything that he did. Killing him was all that I could do at that time.”
He boasted shamelessly.
Those “parents” who couldn’t wait to roast Li Yidao alive and grind his bones to dust to vent their hatred suddenly felt lost. They didn’t know how to vent their hatred, but they looked at Huangfu Chengdao gratefully.
They felt somewhat gratified that Huangfu Chengdao had taken revenge for their children and grandchildren.
The parents and grandparents of those lucky survivors looked at Huangfu Chengdao even more gratefully. They believed that if Huangfu Chengdao hadn’t killed Li Yidao, it would have been very difficult for their children and grandchildren to come out alive.
Huangfu Chengdao looked at Liao Bi’ting’s parents and smiled to himself.
Liao Bi’ting was hounded to death by him.
However, he pretended to be grieving over her death. “Uncle, Auntie, please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. Li Yidao, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, killed your daughter for the treasure on her. I saw it with my own eyes. However, when I took action, it was already too late...”
Liao Bi’ting’s parents cried bitterly and nodded their heads silently to express their grat.i.tude.
Hua Xiangrong, the Lady of the Clouds, was among the crowd. When she heard what Huangfu Chengdao said, she blacked out and collapsed to the ground.
“Sister...” Bu Feiyan hurried to help Hua Xiangrong.
She felt a twinge of pain in her heart.
Li Yidao was dead.
He was killed.
It meant that she had no chance to get the Soul-replenis.h.i.+ng Heavenly Herb that she had been waiting for, and her sister... did not have much time left.
However, she knew very well that the Lady of the Clouds was definitely more heartbroken than she was.
After all, Li Yidao was the one that the Lady of the Clouds loved.
After getting along with the Lady of the Clouds for several days in the posthouse, Bu Feiyan, as a woman, was fascinated by this most beautiful woman in the Ziwei Star Zone. “Why does such an innocent and affectionate woman have to suffer so much?
“Is this the bad luck of a beauty?”
In the distance, the crippled middle-aged man dressed like a beggar stood in a daze among the crowd for a while. Then, he let out a sigh, drew back quietly, and left the square.
Strangely, the soldiers of the Heavenly Fox Clan encircling the square let the lame middle-aged man leave as if they had not seen him at all.
“Sir, why don’t we send the Lady of the Clouds home first?”
Bu Feiyan looked at the Posthouse Officer, Dongfang Piaoliang.
Dongfang Piaoliang was shocked at first. Then, a very strange look gradually appeared on his fat face.
He shook his head and said, “No, no. He lied.”
“What?” Bu Feiyan was surprised.
Dongfang Piaoliang said, “Huangfu Chengdao lied. Li Yidao is definitely not dead.”
Bu Feiyan’s heart skipped a beat. She said, “Sir, do you mean that...”
“Even if Li Yidao were dead, smashed into powder, and his body and soul were destroyed, his broadsword and mask would still be sent out. Did you see his broadsword and mask sent out by the divine light?” Dongfang Piaoliang frowned and said with great certainty.
“He’s right.”
Bu Feiyan’s eyes lit up.
She had neglected this because she was overwhelmed by the bad news.
According to the rules of the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, everything that entered into it would be sent out when it was closed. Previously, the bodies, tattered clothes, weapons, and even blood mist of the Heavenly Legends who had died were sent out of it.
However, not even a piece of Li Mu’s clothing or broadsword appeared in the square, even a rag or a broken blade, did not appear in the square, which made Dongfang Piaoliang suspicious.
He and Bu Feiyan were very familiar with Li Mu’s aura.
Just then, Huangfu Chengdao said loudly, “Everyone, please listen to me. We have all been deceived by Li Yidao. His real ident.i.ty is Li Mu, also known as the Wild Broadsword, who is a descendant of sinners in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Using his false ident.i.ty as Li Yidao, he wormed his way into the compet.i.tion among Heavenly Legends, harbored evil intentions, and killed many innocent people. The reason why he is so crazy is that he wants to take revenge on us. This person is very dangerous and inhuman.”
The crowd burst into an uproar.
In this way, he clearly explained Li Yidao’s motive for killing.
Some people even subconsciously a.s.sociated the previous murders in various inns with Li Yidao. They thought that the so-called Dark Sect killer was probably Li Yidao.
What a perfect explanation!
Daji, the little princess, was waiting on the flying shuttle at the periphery of the square. Suddenly, her face turned pale.
Huangfu Chengdao continued. “From today on, we’re going to track down all the people related to Li Mu throughout the city and kill those sinners with zero tolerance.”
Li Mu slowly opened his eyes.
He seemed to have had a strange dream.
In his dream, he become an omnipotent and invincible G.o.d who could pluck the sun, the moon, and the stars and crush the sun easily by clenching his fist.
He dreamed that he was holding a Star-herding Whip in his hand and herding the stars in the universe to the edge of the universe like driving a herd of sheep.
At the edge of the universe was a long river of s.p.a.ce-time.
The long river was extremely strange. It devoured time, s.p.a.ce, light, darkness, and everything in the universe. Nothing in this universe could cross this “long river”.
In the dream, Li Mu swung his long whip and drove the stars into the long river. He wanted to fill the river with stars, cross it, and reach the other end of the universe.
He desperately wanted to cross the river as if something on the other side of the universe was attracting him.
However, he couldn’t do it no matter how hard he tried.
The more he looked at the river, the more anxious he became. Then, a sense of chaos suddenly overwhelmed him. He screamed and opened his eyes.
A cool breeze brushed his face.
He saw clear waters and green mountains.
He sensed Spiritual Qi surging like tides.
Everything that he saw and felt told him that he had returned to the real world.
He suddenly remembered that he was still in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, meditating under the guidance of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, and receiving the divine blood. Since then, he had been in a state of emptiness. He had no idea what was going on outside the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
He looked around and found that the tides of Spiritual Qi and the laws of heaven and earth were very familiar to him and the sceneries had not changed at all. Obviously, he was still in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm.
“Where is Bai Jun the G.o.d of War?”
Li Mu found that the Bai Jun the G.o.d of War was gone and he was still on the back of the nine-headed divine bird.
“What’s going on?”
He was surprised and bewildered. Just then, a clear female voice rang out. “Watch out. They’re about to catch up with you. Have you integrated the divine blood with your body?”
It was the voice of the nine-headed divine bird.
Li Mu had heard this voice before.
He froze for a moment and then nodded subconsciously. “It seems that... I have integrated part of it. Who are going to catch up with me? The ancestors of the six major clans? Bai Jun the G.o.d of War... Where is he?”
“You’ve integrated only part of it! In that case, it looks like you don’t have enough power to face the enemy head-on.” The nine-headed divine bird seemed to be murmuring to itself. “No matter what, I have to preserve this bloodline. It seems that the only thing that I can do is...”
Li Mu was confused. Just when he was about to ask, a strange nine-colored divine flame suddenly rose from the nine-headed divine bird’s body as if it were alive, came to Li Mu’s face, and shot into his glabella.
“What’s this?”
Li Mu was puzzled.
Just then, he saw a flash of light in front of him. Six figures looking like Celestial Demons streaked through the sky and blocked the way of Li Mu and the nine-headed divine bird from all directions.
“You can’t get out of here.”
“The Heavenly Fox Secret Realm is like a prison. It has always been under the control of the six major clans. How can you get out of it?”
The ancestors of the six major clans finally caught up with Li Mu and showed up.
They looked at Li Mu and the nine-headed divine bird coldly as if they were looking at turtles in a jar.
However, Li Mu’s eyes suddenly froze.
His body began to tremble.
Indescribable grief and anger instantly engulfed him.
He saw a head in the hand of the ancestor of the Heavenly Deity Clan.
It was the head of the Bai Jun the G.o.d of War.
The ancestors of the six major clans looked a little messy and bedraggled. Obviously, they rushed here after a fierce battle. Who made them look like this? The answer was very clear.
Li Mu suddenly realized that Bai Jun the G.o.d of War was gone because he went to fight against the six ancestors.
However, Bai Jun the G.o.d of War had lost two drops of divine blood, so his power had been greatly reduced. How could he be a match for the ancestors of the six major clans? In the end... the G.o.d of War died on the battlefield.
That was his own wish.
However, Li Mu was infuriated.
Thinking of those conspiracies and betrayals that he had seen in the image in the sky and looking at the head of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He roared as he activated all the power in his body and rushed toward the ancestor of the Heavenly Deity Clan like crazy.
His strong killing intent surged through the air.
Chip...
The nine-headed divine bird’s nine-colored feathers stood up like sharp thorns, and the blazing divine flames rolled across the sky towards the ancestors of the six major clans like raging tides.
The man and the bird went berserk.
They had lost their minds.
“Ha-ha, kill him.”
“The power of divine blood in the body of Bai Jun the G.o.d of War is much less than expected. He must have transferred his divine blood into the body of this descendant of the sinners. Kill him and extract his blood and marrow.”
The ancestors of the Blue Wave Clan and the East Forest Clan targeted Li Mu, smiled viciously, and took action directly.
