The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 698 Seeing Daji Again

The Heavenly Fox Temple was located on a lofty mountain.

The mountain was called the “Divine Mountain”. It was the highest mountain on the White Earth, with its summit at an altitude of over 40,000 meters above sea level. It was a steep, magnificent, and spectacular mountain.

It was said that many major branches of the Heavenly Fox Clan had multiplied in this mountain. Back then, the Fox God also lived in seclusion in this mountain for closed-door training. After he came out of seclusion, he awed the Ziwei Star Zone and established the great reputation of the Heavenly Fox Clan as one of the Six Top Clans.

After that, the Heavenly Fox Clan regarded the Divine Mountain as their holy mountain and built the Heavenly Fox Temple on it to accumulate the power of Fox God.

The entire system of the Heavenly Fox Clan had a rich religious atmosphere.

The Heavenly Fox Temple had supreme authority, and the major tribes, such as the White Fox Tribe and Green Fox Tribe, had second-level authority. The elders of various fox tribes held the power of the Heavenly Fox Temple. The current Pontifex Vulpes was the chief of the White Fox Tribe, Bai Yuanshou. Therefore, the White Fox Tribe held a relatively dominant position within the Heavenly Fox Clan’s system.

Li Mu and Dongfang Piaoliang followed the messenger to the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain. After two hours, they arrived at the summit.

Dongfang Piaoliang was just a Posthouse Officer, so he was not qualified to enter the Spider Shrine. He was led by the guards to the side hall to collect the reward.

Guided by the messenger, Li Mu directly stepped into the main shrine hall.

The main shrine hall was grand and magnificent. It looked like a giant crouching fox. The peripheral stone pillars supporting the dome were also shaped like foxes. The entire hall was a huge, simple structure. Built by the master craftsmen of the Heavenly Fox Clan, it was aesthetically pleasing and visually striking. Moreover, it also had defensive features and the unique atmosphere of fox tribes.

The surrounding decorative accessories and small buildings all reflected the unique styles of fox tribes.

There were vivid and lifelike murals on the white wall, telling the stories about how the successive pontiffs of the Sedes Vulpes led their subjects to fight and safeguard the subsistence of fox tribes in the Star River after the Fox God came into power. Several great battles of great importance to the Heavenly Fox Clan were depicted as key elements.

In the newly carved murals, Li Mu saw the scenes of the battle between the Heavenly Fox Clan and the Dark Yellow Army.

In the depths of the main hall, there were many people.

Almost all the attendees had arrived, except the elders of various tribes of the Heavenly Fox Clan and the top 20 Heavenly Legends on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions.

Li Mu’s arrival had attracted attention from many people.

As usual, he was wearing a white robe and a silvery mask and carrying a white scabbard on his back, which reflected his unique personal style. His unique personal style and outstanding performance in defeating all of his opponents with one strike made it impossible for him to keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

Some Heavenly Legends took the initiative to greet Li Mu with a smile.

After all, he ranked fourth. Except for the top three Heavenly Legends, the others had to look up at him.

Moreover, various legends and rumors about Li Yidao had run rampant recently. It was believed that Li Yidao absolutely had the ability to rank first, but he just didn’t have the opportunity to challenge those who ranked above him.

Therefore, in the face of such a monster like Li Mu, many Heavenly Legends held in awe and veneration to him.

Of course, some people were not convinced of Li Mu’s status. They looked at him provocatively with sneers on their faces.

Li Mu didn’t care about that at all. He remained calm and unaffected.

Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the thin figure of the “God of Sword”, Wang Yanyi, in the crowd. He walked over, greeted Wang Yanyi, and said, “Thank you very much.”

He was thanking Wang Yanyi for sending him an invitation card the other day and inviting him to watch the latter’s fight with the Witchcraft Saint.

Needless to say, Wang Yanyi certainly understood what Li Mu meant.

Therefore, this thin young man, who appeared somewhat unsociable, nodded slightly to Li Mu as a response.

However, the others couldn’t help but begin to guess the moment they saw the way the two of them greeted each other. “Could it be that Li Yidao and Wang Yanyi have a special relationship not known to others? Otherwise, why would these two people, who seem rather aloof on the Immortal-slaying Platform and have no friends, appreciate each other like that when they meet?”

The main hall was not quiet.

Each of the top 20 super Heavenly Legends enjoyed great popularity. The major branches of the Heavenly Fox Clan would try to inveigle these Heavenly Legends into taking their side. Even if those Heavenly Legends with strong backgrounds refused, it would still be good to establish good relations with them in advance. After all, such Heavenly Legends might become the most powerful and influential people in the Ziwei Star Zone in a few decades or a few hundred years.

Low voices mingled together, making low buzzing sounds.

The “rootless duckweeds” from humble backgrounds like Li Mu and Wang Yanyi were the focus of various sects and tribes. The major branches of the Heavenly Fox Clan all wanted to win over the two of them.

Li Mu was soon surrounded by many renowned elders.

Li Mu saw the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, Linghu Shenkong.

Linghu Shenkong seemed to have forgotten everything that happened in the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe and hold no grudge against Li Mu. He greeted Li Mu with a smile, as if he were an old acquaintance of Li Mu. “Mr. Li, it’s been a while since you left the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe that day. You have an even more elegant demeanor now. Would you like to come to the hall of the Green Fox Tribe for a talk after the business in this main shrine hall is done?”

Li Mu wanted to decline the invitation at first, but the image of the little fox girl, Bi Yan, suddenly popped into his mind. He wondered how she was doing in the Green Fox Tribe.

So he nodded and accepted the invitation of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, Linghu Shenkong.

The other people saw this scene and looked at Li Mu meaningfully.

Most of them thought that Li Yidao had accepted the offer of the Green Fox tribe. They felt a little surprised.

“If Li Yidao wants to depend on some great powers, why has he chosen the Green Fox Tribe instead of the most prestigious tribe–the White Fox Tribe?”

“It is said that Li Yidao used to have a young maid of the Green Fox Tribe by his side. Has he chosen the Green Fox Tribe because of her beauty?”

“If that’s the case, he is too shortsighted and narrow-minded.”

While they were making guesses, a bell suddenly rang out in the main shrine hall. The ringing sound was like melodious heavenly music, spreading and echoing through the entire Divine Mountain.

The main hall suddenly fell into silence.

Holding a wand in his hand and wearing a divine robe, Bai Yuanshou, the current Pontifex Vulpes and chief of the White Fox Tribe, slowly walked over with a smile on his face, surrounded by the elders of the Heavenly Fox Temple. He greeted everyone in the main shrine hall.

He looked about 30 years old. He was extremely handsome, looking like a god. In the words of the Earth, he was a perfect man with a wickedly charming and domineering aura. Holding a wand in his hand and wearing a divine robe, he was really like an immortal from the world of immortals and gods.

As soon as he showed up, he immediately became the focus of attention, and all eyes were fixed on him.

Only Li Mu fixed his eyes on a person standing on the right side of the Pontifex Vulpes Bai Yuanshou.

She was a beautiful girl in a white dress. She was as clear and bright as the purest snow in the world. Her big eyes were as clear as the spring water, reflecting the most beautiful scenery in the Star River. She was petite, but perfectly curvy. Her bare neck and arms were dazzlingly white, and her facial features were exquisite and flawless.

“Daji.”

Li Mu almost cried out in surprise.

She was really Daji.

Several years had passed. The little girl in the old days had grown up a lot, and her demeanor had changed dramatically. However, she still looked as pure, innocent, and timid as before.

She timidly followed Bai Yuanshou with her head lowered slightly without saying a word.

Li Mu almost failed to control the urge to walk over to her.

Fortunately, just when he was about to take a step, he suddenly realized that the time and place were not right, so he stopped in a hurry.

However, many people around him noticed his look.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yidao’s distracted look was a clear sign showing that he was coveting the beauty of the little princess, Daji. They didn’t expect that Li Yidao, who had amazing broadsword skills and fighting ability, would be so obsessed with women. They were afraid that he had just become famous overnight and it would be difficult for him to accomplish greatness in the future.

“Humph.” The Witchcraft Saint snorted coldly. “A country bumpkin.”

Obviously, his words were meant for Li Mu.

The Witchcraft Saint held a grudge against the “God of Sword”, Wang Yanyi, because he had dropped out of the top 10 because of Wang Yanyi. Therefore, he naturally made an enemy of Li Yidao when he saw that the latter had good relations with Wang Yanyi.

Li Mu didn’t care about such a loser.

He began to think about how to reunite with Daji and figure out everything by asking her.

However, the problem was that he could not reveal his identity.

After he saw the history of wars between the Heavenly Fox Clan and the Dark Yellow Army on the murals in the main shrine hall, he realized more clearly that once his identity was revealed, he would immediately become the target of public attack.

Even the “Aspect of Virtue” that he had established before would be meaningless.

The reason was that such big tribes in the Ziwei Star Zone like the Heavenly Fox Clan would not care about that either in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region or in any other Star Region.

The Pontifex Vulpes, Bai Yuanshou, said a few words to thank the Heavenly Legends for their efforts in participating in the martial arts competition for marriage with the little princess of the Heavenly Fox Clan. He also said that he had prepared a gift for everyone. His words sounded like he was trying to rope them in.

Given his status, he showed great sincerity in saying those words.

Among the Heavenly Legends, even those who came from relatively strong backgrounds could not help but feel a little moved at this time. Even though they represented the powers behind them, they would have an influential supporter if they joined the Heavenly Fox Clan. Moreover, it would be even better if they could marry the little princess, Daji, and become the son-in-law of the Heavenly Fox Clan, because that would enable their reputation and status to soar rapidly.

Of course, the Heavenly Legends from strong backgrounds that were comparable to the Heavenly Fox Clan, such as the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, did not think this way.

Later, a quite formal and solemn ceremony was held in the Heavenly Fox Temple.

However, Li Mu had his heart set on Daji, so he was a little absent-minded.

At the ceremony, each of the 20 super Heavenly Legends drew a special token from a mysterious silvery container in the same way as drawing lots.

It was obvious that the Heavenly Fox Clan attached high importance to these twenty Heavenly Legends, who were separated from the other eighty Heavenly Legends ranking from the 21st place to 100th place. The latter did not have the chance to enter the Heavenly Fox Temple and see a giant like Bai Yuanshou. The Heavenly Fox Clan would send them into the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm together, and they did not have tokens.

The ceremony was followed by a banquet similar to a self-serve cocktail party.

The attendees greeted and got acquainted with each other at the banquet.

“Nephew, long time no see. How is your father doing?”

The Pontifex Vulpes, Bai Yuanshou, smiled to the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan.

Although the latter was proud and arrogant, he did not dare to be careless with such a giant. At least he had to act politely at the societal level, so he said respectfully, “My father is doing very well. You are always on his mind. He said that he missed the taste of your Baiquan Tea.”

Bai Yuanshou laughed loudly.

He greeted the super Heavenly Legends one by one.

Finally, he came to Li Mu.
