The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 612 Writing off All the Old Scores

Their eyes met, producing invisible sparks in the air.

Li Mu walked step by step in the void. He gradually landed on the ground and came to Second Senior Fellow Apprentice. Then, Li Mu looked at the sky in the distance.

Although Li Mu was kind of looking up at the white-haired swordsman, his bearing and attitude were obviously aggressive. He was eager to start another fight, so he seemed quite high-spirited.

Li Mu was exuding the confidence generated by the great victory he just earned, which made people afraid to look at him.

Lin Yuhan, the white-haired swordsman, had a detached look on his face. He simply gazed unblinkingly at Li Mu. There was no anger, no kindness, no joy or sadness in his eyes. So, no one knew what he was thinking.

The atmosphere froze due to the silence of Lin Yuhan, the white-haired swordsman.

The surrounding cultivators once again retreated collectively for hundreds of miles.

The four elders of the Tianyi Palace had all died in Li Mu’s hands. None of them survived. Adding that the future leader of the Tianyi Palace had been killed by Li Mu in the Battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin, there was certainly a feud between Li Mu and the Tianyi Palace. In other people’s eyes, a battle between Li Mu and the General-Level expert, which would be as devastating as Mars hitting Earth, was about to break out right in front of them.

Moreover, such a battle would absolutely be more terrifying than the previous one among the three General-Level masters.

Everyone was afraid of being accidentally injured in such a battle.

At this time, some interstellar bounty hunters even began to consider employing some tricks again. They planned to observe the battle on the side. Once Li Mu was seriously injured or tried to escape during the battle, they would have another great opportunity to catch him.

As the saying goes, human beings die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food.

In order to get the huge bounty from the major sects, they were willing to risk their lives. After all, everyone would like to get rich by getting a windfall.

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice also felt that a big battle was inevitable. He quickly held Ding Yi, who was in a coma, and backed away from the two figures. Then, he said in a low voice, “Sect Leader, come on. Hammer that white hair boy to pieces...”

“White hair boy?”

Li Mu looked at Lin Yuhan, the head of the Tianyi Palace. He was indeed white-haired.

“But why did the pig spirit call him ‘boy’?

“Well, it does seem to make sense.”

It was estimated that this pig had been sealed in that divine-level Primordial Stone for quite a long time. It must be at least tens of thousands of years. From this point of view, he was indeed an old pig. So, to him, Lin Yuhan was just a little boy.

While thinking, Li Mu activated all the natural qi in his body to heal the swelling and bruises on his body. He needed to recover his strength and be prepared for the upcoming battle.

Frankly, in the face of the head of the Tianyi Palace who was a talented opponent in the General Realm working on real Cultivation Methods, Li Mu did not have as much assurance to win as he had when dealing with the hellish three-headed dog.

Nonetheless, he would never flinch from a challenge.

With the gathering of his physical strength, the air around Li Mu began to twist.

Under the feet of the white-haired swordsman, Lin Yuhan, the sword light started to flash. Step by step, he stepped on his sword and slowly walked over.

In the blink of an eye, he was already less than 100 meters away from Li Mu.

Everyone watched the two with bated breath.

When a General-Level swordsman made a move, what kind of earth-shaking power would he cast?

Everyone believed that the next moment, a peerless battle that could be recorded in the history of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was about to start.

However—

“From today onward, the old scores between the Tianyi Palace and Your Excellency will be written off. What do you say?” remarked Lin Yuhan, the white-haired swordsman.

His words suddenly made the whole world quiet down.

A kind of silent astonishment quietly spread out from everyone’s heart, abruptly rendering the whole world a little surreal at the moment.

“Write off all the old scores?”

“This... I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?”

“Or has the white-haired swordsman named Lin Yuhan gone out of his mind?”

No one believed what they had heard.

Even Li Mu looked surprised.

“What’s going on?

“This can’t be a trap, can it?”

He looked at Lin Yuhan, the white-haired swordsman.

There was no special expression on the latter’s face. He still looked as calm and detached as ever.

“You already have the capital to stand at the peak of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Making an enemy out of you is not the best option for the Tianyi Palace. From now on, all of our grievances will be written off. The Tianyi Palace will no longer set a bounty on your head and will also restrain the disciples from disturbing you. In return, I hope Your Excellency will stop killing the disciples of the Tianyi Palace? What do you think?”

After hearing that, Li Mu finally cottoned on.

Apparently, Lin Yuhan had weighed the gains and losses and finally made the final decision.

If the battle continued, it was very likely that both sides would suffer.

Large sects that had existed in the universe for countless years usually attached great importance to the glory of their sects, but they also cared about their own interests and the continuance of their existence.

In the martial arts civilization, the law of the jungle also applied. Any dormant period or trough period was likely to lead a large fore to extinction. When the neighboring forces, who seemed to be harmonious in the past, found an opportunity to take advantage of the weak, they would definitely gang up on the less fortunate and devour them like sharks who picked up the smell of blood.

To put it more crassly, the Tianyi Palace knew that there was no chance to win and was forced to admit defeat.

Li Mu now realized that the head of the Tianyi Palace was someone worth his respect and admiration.

For ordinary people, even if they admitted defeat inwardly, they would not appear to be so calm because they couldn’t swallow their pride.

Moreover, Li Mu could tell that Lin Yuhan did not think that he would lose if they really battled.

However, he gave up on a fight that he would not lose.

Because from the perspective of the sect’s interests, winning or losing the battle was meaningless. But if he was injured or harmed in any way during the battle, he would lose more than he gained. The so-called reputation, dignity, and fame were nothing compared with real interests. And the survival of a sect was always tied to the balance of interests and the sect’s strength.

A great man must be adaptable to circumstances.

This Lin Yuhan was definitely such a man, which made him sort of formidable.

But since the other party had no intention to fight, Li Mu didn’t want to get violent either.

After all, no one knew what kind of trump card such an old sect could cast if they were really desperate.

“Sure,” Li Mu replied briskly.

“See you later.”

After getting Li Mu’s answer, Lin Yuhan, the white-haired swordsman, turned around, ready to take his departure.

With one step, he crossed the space barrier, stepped into the void, and disappeared.

At the same time, from several hidden places that had not been discovered in the distant starry sky, more than a dozen pairs of eyes that had penetrated the void slowly withdrew. Then, a long silence descended again.

“What a pity!” someone sighed in the darkness.

“I didn’t expect that after so many years, Lin Yuhan, who was that hot-tempered in the past, could actually repress his killing intent and fighting spirit in such a situation. This head of the Tianyi Palace is now a little frightening.”

On an ancient planet, a supreme master was deep in thought.

“The battle has failed to wear any of the two sides out. I forgot to add fuel to the fire... It seems that if we want to destroy the Tianyi Palace, we would have to wait for another chance.”

In the dark Black Demon Abyss, the Heavenly Demon wrapped in demonic aura had been overcome with regret.

Of course, Li Mu and the cultivators in the sky above Star Wind City did not know any of that.

Lin Yuhan returned to the void of the universe and boarded a huge ship that was tens of thousands of meters long.

The ship was shining with a metallic texture. The light of the nebula and stars it reflected was rather cold. The ship looked like an ancient metal behemoth lurking in a dark corner of the cosmos. On the vast deck of the ship, there were many tall buildings, which seemed to be a city.

“Head.”

In the square on the deck, hundreds of disciples of the Tianyi Palace bowed when they saw Lin Yuhan.

Lin Yuhan strode to the Tianyi Hall at the end of the square without saying a word.

“Master, I’m back.”

He stepped into the darkest place of the main hall and told his master everything in a respectful tone.

An ancient and hoarse voice came from the deepest part of the darkness. It sounded like the voice of Death who had been slumbering in the deepest part of hell. He said, “Very good. Those who can achieve great things don’t set store by fame. It’s a pity that Feng Zhen and the other three have died, but it wouldn’t undermine our foundation. Let’s pick several new ones from the sect and fill in their places.”

“I see, master,” Lin Yuhan answered.

In Star Wind City.

The cultivators who had traveled all the way here to kill Li Mu fled helter-skelter.

The various forces in the city clamoring against Li Mu to avenge the victims on the South Street also lowered their banners and muffled their drums. Among those in the anti-Li Mu campaign, the ones who were the most active, such as Ding Sanshi the Shooting Star Sword, directly escaped to places far away through the interstellar long-distance Teleportation Deployment, in case Li Mu would chase after them.

Of course, Li Mu didn’t have the leisure to do that.

After the battle, he returned to the Immortal Pavilion.

Although this hotel was the property of the Tianyi Palace, since their head had reconciled with Li Mu the Wild Broadsword, the staff of the Immortal Pavilion naturally would not try to fight Li Mu to the death. Instead, they provided service for Li Mu with great respect and care.

The former manager of the hotel, Mu Shun, had died. But his death weighed less than a feather, which was totally meaningless. No one seemed to have bothered to mourn him.

Li Mu helped Ding Yi settle down in the hotel and treated his injuries again so as to hold the poison back.

At the same time, he used his own Net Card to log into the Immortal Net.

Li Mu was hoping to use the omnipotent “Immortal Net” to look for the “Great Reset Elixir” that would remove the poison inside Ding Yi. As it turned out, before he could even search the elixir online, countless messages kept popping out from the user center.

“Eh? Looks like I’ve made a fortune, haven’t I?”

Li Mu was shocked when he saw the countless notices of payments. After rough calculation, he was astounded.

Over the past month, he had received more than 20,000 copper-colored fairy crystals, which were equivalent to more than 2,000 silver-colored fairy crystals, or more than 20 gold-colored fairy crystals... Well, when he was enduring the refining in the furnace, money simply kept pouring into his account from the Immortal Net, didn’t it?

“What’s going on?

Li Mu then took a closer look, and he was even more stunned.

He could not believe that such a large number of people had paid for the worthless posts he had posted on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Was it that the people in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region were so rich that they had gotten money to burn?

Intrigued, Li Mu clicked open the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

But the next moment, Li Mu’s face turned livid.

“Li Mu the Wild Broadsword must die a terrible death...”

“Li Mu is devoid of humanity. He should be struck by lightning.”

“I hereby curse Li Mu and all his ancestors!”

“Everybody, let’s work together to dig up the ancestral graves of Li Mu’s family!”

“Hurry up and think of a way. Even though we can’t kill him, we can fill this inhuman devil with disgust.”

“No, we can’t give up like this. I must kill Li Mu even if I have to be smashed to pieces. Mark my words. Even at the cost of losing all my fortune, I insist on setting a bounty on Li Mu’s head. I’ll never be as cowardly as the members of the Tianyi Palace!”

Similar posts had almost occupied the entire forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

Li Mu browsed the pages with his consciousness. He scrolled down numerous pages and read one post after another, all of which were malicious curses against him.

“What the f*ck!”

Li Mu was instantly rendered dumbstruck.

“What the hell has happened?

“I couldn’t have accidentally dug up the ancestral graves of all the people in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, could I?”
