Volume 5 Chaotic Battlefield – Chapter 766 Return to the Earth

“Isn’t he just a junior practitioner from the inferior world?” Jiang Lizi said stubbornly, “No matter how powerful he is, what can he do to us? He is alone, while the Divine Sound Sect has a solid foundation and many people. Why do we have to be afraid of him?”

The young man was full of youthful vigor. He became more and more excited as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, the ancestral master directly raised his hand and slapped Jiang Lizi in the face. Jiang Lizi spun on the spot and stopped spinning after quite a while, seeing stars and almost spitting up blood.

“Ancestral Master, why did you hit me? Did I say something wrong?” Jiang Lizi asked, feeling wronged.

Among the people of the Divine Sound Sect, he was the most favored disciple of the younger generation because of his talent and performance in practicing martial arts. The mentors and his senior peers were mild and gentle to him. He had never been treated like this before.

“Hmph, you troublemaker. Go back to face the wall for three months and ponder about your misdeeds.” Seeing that the young man still hadn’t realized that he was wrong, the ancestral master got very angry.

“In the future, you’d better keep a low profile and act cautiously in the Star River. Don’t provoke any enemy at will. I have a hunch that there will be a disastrous massacre in the Star River,” said the ancestral master. Then, he said to the other disciples, “Don’t make trouble for me.”

Having learned a lesson from Jiang Lizi’s experience, the disciples nodded their heads.

“Uncle, what about our plan to conquer the Heavenly Land Planet?” The head of the Divine Sound Sect asked.

The ancestral master said decisively, “Abort the plan immediately. From now on, you’ll have to stop thinking about attacking the Heavenly Land Planet. We should find another planet. We can’t afford to provoke that planet... Alas, it’s strange. Why did our ancestors make a prophecy and want us to go out at this time?”

Bewildered, he shook his head and returned to the cabin.

Jiang Lizi covered his face with his hand, unwilling to give up. He turned his head and looked at the Head of Divine Sound Sect. “Master, I...”

“What do you want to say?” The Head of Divine Sound Sect interrupted him directly and said, “Do you think that you have been wronged? You brat, do you know that had it not been for the ancestral master’s timely arrival, you would have lost your life today? Our ancestral master apologized to Li Mu like that just to save you and the Divine Sound Sect. You’d better be smarter in the future.”

Jiang Lizi still couldn’t understand.

The Head of Divine Sound Sect threw a jade medallion to him and said, “Take a look at it yourself.”

Jiang Lizi took the jade medallion, injected natural qi into it, and began to read the information contained in it.

At first, he didn’t take it seriously.

However, as he read, his face gradually changed. In the end, his hand holding the jade medallion started to shake. When he finished reading, he was already drenched in sweat, his face ashen, looking like a drowning person who had just been saved.

“This... Li Mu... He... killed so many masters in the King Realm. Is he... crazy?”

A look of horror flashed across his face.

The jade medallion recorded Li Mu’s performance in some battles that he fought on the White Earth.

Although the records were not complete, they were already enough to explain everything.

The Head of Divine Sound Sect said, “Whether he is crazy or not is his own business, but the Divine Sound Sect can’t afford to provoke such a devil king. He even dares to go against such great powers like the six major clans in the Ziwei Star Zone. Moreover, he could defeat and kill the successors of the six major clans, let alone us. Now, you should know how lucky you are to come back alive.”

“Okay, I know.” Jiang Lizi nodded his head repeatedly.

The young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe, Feng Xingyun—the Nether Ghost...

Jiang Lizi might never catch up with those people for the rest of his life. Those legendary masters of the younger generation were all killed by Li Mu.

Comparisons revealed gaps.

Even those masters of martial arts were killed by Li Mu, not to mention him.

Judging from the battle records in the jade medallion, the entire Divine Sound Sect would be no match for Li Mu even if it played its trump card.

A peerless, formidable person like Li Mu was a power and a peak.

At least he was a god in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

“Should I find an opportunity to apologize to Li Mu and make friends with him?”

This idea uncontrollably popped into Jiang Lizi’s head.

Now, the Great Moon Empire having ten cities and nine regions, the Yue Mountain Faction, and the border troops of the Qin Empire finally knew what power Li Mu had.

An extraterritorial fleet that broke the void barrier to conquer a planet was frightened off by Li Mu. The head of the fleet apologized to Li Mu and then left in a hurry.

That was like a fairy tale.

Obviously, Li Mu must have done something big in the Star River and made a name for himself that intimidated others. For this reason, the troops of the Divine Sound Sect lost their courage on hearing Li Mu’s name, and the old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion smiled obsequiously to Li Mu.

The news spread fast.

Stories of this event were passed around continuously.

Soon, another piece of shocking news spread around the Heavenly Land.

Qin Zheng, the emperor of the Qin Empire that had almost unified the Heavenly Land, suddenly issued an imperial edict. The imperial edict announced his abdication and declared that the Qin Empire would henceforth be just a name in the long river of time and 99% of the military towns, barracks and the Qin Empire’s troops would be under the jurisdiction of Taibai City.

As the news spread, it set off an uproar in the whole world.

It was undoubtedly an unprecedented historical event.

It wouldn’t be inappropriate to say that Qin Zheng, the emperor of the Qin Empire, was the first emperor in history. He had unified the Heavenly Land and accomplished great undertakings that many emperors and kings couldn’t accomplish, and his abdication of the throne was something that all other emperors could not do.

From then on, there would be no empire on the Heavenly Land.

Taibai City would become the true dominator of the entire Heavenly Land.

Sure enough, all this had to do with a name—Li Mu!

Li Mu!

He had appeared on the Heavenly Land like a comet and caused countless storms. For many years after he reached the Void-breaking Realm and left the Heavenly Land, his influence had not faded away. The political pattern of the Heavenly Land came into existence because of him.

Now, a new pattern was about to be formed because of his return.

Many people were very curious about how he would govern the Heavenly Land after he regained his power.

Would Li Mu govern the Heavenly Land?

He was not interested in that at all.

One day later.

Mount Shu Planet.

Li Mu came to Mount Shu Sect.

He handed over all the affairs on the Heavenly Land to the people of the Dark Yellow Army.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

In the past, Dark Yellow Army entered the Heavenly Land secretly without attracting much attention. Now, the objective established by Li Mu, the Celestial Master, the black-cloaked man, etc. was to fully exploit the potential of the Heavenly Land and complete the preparation for the coming war in the shortest possible time.

The Dark Yellow Army had taken over the Qin Empire’s troops and other forces on the Heavenly Land.

Under Li Mu’s leadership, things went very smoothly.

Sure enough, the best option was to prevent the flames of war from spreading to the Heavenly Land Planet.

Besides the Earth, the Heavenly Land Planet was also a home planet of the Dark Yellow Army. No one wanted to see the flames of war burning on his planet.

Li Mu came to Mount Shu Planet because he wanted to return to the Earth through that space-time vortex.

He planned to return to the Earth to make some preparations.

After the ancestors of the six major clans had integrated the divine blood into their bodies, their first target was not any of the powers on the Heavenly Land Planet and in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, but the Earth located in the Star Graveyard.

They believed the secrets of the chaotic battlefield that was sealed many years ago were hidden in this Star Graveyard.

Previously, Ding Yi had brought the news that Li Mu would come.

Li Mu came to White Emperor City and received a warm welcome from the people of Mount Shu Sect.

“Hmm? Where is Wuhen? Why didn’t I see her?” Li Mu did not see Ye Wuhen, the Head of Mount Shu Sect.

He was a little surprised.

“The Head started a closed-door training three months ago to find a way to break the bottleneck. She is now at the critical stage of the training, so she can’t come out to welcome you,” Ding Yi hurriedly explained.

“A closed-door training?

“What a coincidence.”

Ye Wuhen was a woman that married Li Mu back then. Li Mu still missed her very much. Their feelings for each other were not the affection between men and women, but something similar to friendship. Li Mu initially thought that he could see her in White Emperor City, but it turned out that they were not destined to meet.

Li Mu could not stay on Mount Shu Planet for too long.

He had no idea when Ye Wuhen would complete her closed-door training.

“I should return to the Earth first.”

In the end, Li Mu decided to leave.

After he left, the Mount Shu Sect gradually resumed its state of serenity.

Mount Shu Sect had become the absolute dominator of this planet now. Its major branches got along well and worked closely with each other. As a result, the power and foundation of the whole sect had soared rapidly. Because of Li Bai—the former God of Sword, Mount Shu Sect and the Dark Yellow Army were natural allies.

Under such background, the Dark Yellow Army’s sequence chain consisting of the Mount Shu, Ghost Rally Star, Opposite Bank Star, and Heavenly Land began to take shape.

All the people were using every effort to prepare for the war.

A figure appeared under a tree on the summit of Mount Shu and looked into the sky.

Her beautiful hair was blowing in the breeze, giving out the scent of orchids.

She gently stroked her lower abdomen with her hand.

“Why don’t you tell him?”

The old lady of Magic Saber Sect showed up.

“Alas, you silly girl.”

The old lady looked worried and helpless.

“He will know what he should know sooner or later, and I will never let him know what he shouldn’t know. I chose and walked my own path. Now that I already lied to him back then, I will lie to him until the end. I can take all of this alone. Why should I distract him and put him in a difficult position?”

She smiled with an innocent and sacred look on her beautiful face.

Earth.

2024, summer.

Shaoshi Mount, Baoji City.

Weeds and green trees flourished around Randeng Temple.

“Since Little Mu left, no one has been able to enter Randeng Temple. It seems to have been haunted by ghosts. Alas, I want to renovate this ancient temple for Master Li, but I can’t do it.”

An old farmer with a lean figure and dark skin squatted in front of a stele over ten meters away from Randeng Temple, puffing on his cigarette. He was in his eighties, but he looked as energetic as a young man in his twenties or thirties.

“Do you think Master Li and Little Mu will come back?” Another old farmer said, puffing on his pipe.

Around the two of them, there were more than fifteen old men in their early eighties.

In the past, the farmers at such an old age would basically be unable to do farm work, and with one foot in the grave, it was difficult enough for them to walk a dog. However, these old men were full of vigor and energy, looking as if they were in their prime. Moreover, they even had muscular bodies, giving people a very strange feeling.

“I heard that someone saw Master Li in the city three days ago,” said an old farmer.

“Really?”

“Is Master Li back?”

“The world has changed. There are demons everywhere now. Some time ago, Wang Er’s pig began talking. Master Li should come back now. With his ability, he can subdue the demons in this world.”

The old men discussed vehemently, looking forward to Li Mu’s return.
