The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 809 The Log under the Red Moonlight

Luo Liang, the host, and Huang Ye’er and Huang Shu from the Yellow Dragon Tribe were with Li Mu.

Now, the Mount Shong World was largely under Li Mu’s control. Except for the elders of Taixuan Sect, Li Mu had cast spells on all the elders of the Mind-clearing Sword Sect. If they harbored any disloyalty, Li Mu could destroy them with a stir of his mind.

Facing the threat of death, those elders did not show any loyalty to the sect at all. Instead, they surrendered so quickly, which greatly surprised Li Mu. At first, his intention was just to “kill the chicken to scare the monkey”.

Due to time constraint, Li Mu didn’t visit the two sects, two mountains, and one pavilion in the Mount Shong World. He came directly to Mount Qinling.

Since he had returned to Qinling, his first choice was naturally to go to Baoji City.

The Gate of the Ancestors would open after about ten days, so he went back to his hometown to meet his relatives and friends.

He didn’t expect that he would see something so strange as soon as he arrived in Baoji City.

“What a big fruit tree! It has almost become a spirit!” Luo Liang exclaimed.

Unfortunately, he lost his living broadcast equipment when the winged tiger chased him in the Mount Shong World. If he still had the equipment and started live streaming now, he would definitely attract a lot of attention.

Huang Ye’er and Huang Shu didn’t say anything.

They were in awe of Li Mu and hardly said a word along the way.

They were not surprised to see the giant fruit tree because there were such big trees in the Mount Shong World.

Standing on the bank of the reservoir, Li Mu saw many people around him plucking apples from the branches of the fruit tree which extended out to the bank and taking big bites of the apples. A strange fragrance lingered in the air around the reservoir.

“This tree is growing so fast, and it has an aura like that of an animal. Those red fruits...”

Li Mu stretched forth his hand, and an apple flew into his hand.

After careful observation, he found that the apple was like a legendary fairy fruit with extraordinary energy fluctuations inside of it. It might not be of much use to a great master like Li Mu, but it was very beneficial for ordinary people and ordinary practitioners.

While Li Mu was mulling over this, Luo Liang had already plucked three apples.

“Ye’er, here you are.” He gave Huang Ye’er an apple, tossed another one to Huang Shu, and began to eat the last one with relish.

Li Mu examined the fruit tree with his Third Eye and found that its thick roots grew in the center of the reservoir and spread out in all directions, forming a big underground network, and the part of the tree above the water surface was just the tip of the iceberg. He worried that it would not be long before the tree’s root system covered the entire underground area of Baoji City.

The spreading branches and leaves of the fruit tree were frantically absorbing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.

“Could it be the World Tree?”

Li Mu suddenly thought of the phrase “World Tree”. He couldn’t help laughing to himself.

That was a term used in fantasy novels.

It was impossible for the so-called World Tree to exist on the Earth.

However, the giant fruit tree was filled with the aura of immortals and gods.

By this time, the news had already spread out. More and more people from the downtown area came here to pluck the apples. There were also people from the government maintaining public order. Many people were surprised to find that their chronic diseases disappeared after they ate the apples. These apples had extraordinary healing capabilities in curing diseases and strengthening the body.

“Let’s go.”

After observing for a while, Li Mu found nothing unusual, so he left with Huang Ye’er and Huang Shu.

As strange changes took place in Mount Qinling, which was known as the “dragon vein” of the Hero Country, some plants in the surrounding areas underwent mutations. This was a normal phenomenon. At the very least, the giant apple tree seemed beneficial and looked harmless.

The only thing that Li Mu needed to do was to keep an eye on it in the future.

Luo Liang was secretly in love with Huang Ye’er. He gave up his live streaming career and followed Li Mu cheekily.

After Li Mu and the others left, the winged angel hiding in the crowd cautiously took off his hood and breathed a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t expect that the Eastern God of War would still be alive. Fortunately, I was prepared and isolated the angelic aura with the Misty Cloak in advance. If he found any suspicious traces, things would become troublesome... God, I pray that he won’t come to the Hidden-dragon Bay again within three days. I won’t need to be afraid of him after the Garden of Eden descends and the gods wake up.”

The white man crossed himself and prayed.

He smiled as he looked at the people eating the apples.

“Come on. Eat more. Eat as many as you can.

“There are plenty of sweet apples. The more you eat, the more subjects the gods will have.”

Li Mu came to the Weibin District. He didn’t go up the mountain, but instead he took out the special mobile phone Su Cuo gave him and called his friend Wang Sichao, who worked a chef in the high-tech zone, to inquire about how his former friends were doing.

The call was soon answered.

Wang Sichao’s surprised voice came from the other end. “Little Mu, you finally called me. Hey, the signals can be transmitted, which means that you are in Baoji. Are you back?”

Li Mu heard the voice of a friend who cared so much for him and his heart felt warm.

After they chatted for a while, he heard an extremely shocking piece of news.

“What? The old faker is back!”

He couldn’t believe his ears.

Back then, he searched almost all the corners of the Earth to look for the old faker, but could not find the latter. It turned out that the old faker returned to Randeng Temple by himself.

Upon learning the news, he could no longer stay calm.

“I’ll go to the temple first. Later, I will visit you and taste your delicacies.”

He hung up the phone and hurried to Mount Shaozu.

All the bizarre experiences and incredible encounters in his life were somehow connected to the old faker. The Xiantian Skill and Zhenwu Boxing had invincible powers and helped him sweep across almost the entire Star River... Only the old faker could explain all the riddles and their answers.

He leaped up and flew through the air.

Soon, he arrived at the foot of Mount Shaozu.

However, the ripples of a tactical deployment blocked his way.

Mount Shaozu was a peripheral mountain of Qinling that was located in the high-tech zone of Baoji City and very close to the downtown area. The Number One High School of Baoji City was situated at the foot of Mount Shaozu, from which Randengsi Village was less than a 20-minute walk away up the mountain road. The “young master’s legacy” plaque was less than one thousand meters further up the road. Randeng Temple was at the upper end of the mountain road.

Li Mu activated his Divine Consciousness and found that there was an invisible tactical deployment in the void covering the entire Mount Shaozu. The tactical deployment was as magnificent and unfathomable as a distant star. Even though Li Mu’s cultivation level was very high, he still couldn’t see through it after several attempts.

It must have been created by the old faker.

It seemed that the function of the tactical deployment was to prohibit flying and prevent spying from the outside world.

Li Mu opened his Third Eye, but he could not see the appearance of Randengsi Village behind the tactical deployment.

Unable to force his way through the tactical deployment, he had no choice but to land on the ground.

“Um?”

After landing on the ground, he keenly detected that there were tens of groups of people lurking in the dark outside the invisible tactical deployment, some of them were quite powerful, and there were even demon auras pervading the air.

“They’re courting death.”

Li Mu was in a hurry to see the old faker, so he had no time to deal with those idiots.

He walked up the mountain road and soon arrived at Randengsi Village with Luo Liang, Huang Ye’er, and Huang Shu.

Several old men were having dinner, squatting on the farm field. Each of them held a big bowl of wide rice noodles with chili oil with one hand and held chopsticks and garlic with the other hand, eating with relish. The tempting smell of noodles wafted through the air.

“Eh? Little Mu?”

“He’s really back.”

“He turned up as expected by Master Li. Master Li is really amazing.”

The old men were very happy to see Li Mu. They immediately gathered around him.

Li Mu felt a little shocked.

“Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zheng, you... You look so strong and energetic.” Li Mu didn’t know how to describe the state of these King Kong-like old men. Their Qi and blood surged like ocean waves, and their physical strength was extraordinary. These old men in their 80s were like human-shaped tyrannosauruses. Li Mu was sure that they must have been trained by the old faker.

All the old men laughed heartily.

They had murderous looks on their faces when they encountered outsiders, but they were gentle and mild to Li Mu.

Li Mu was an orphan, but many old people in Randengsi Village regarded him as their own grandson. Those old men had been taking care of him since he was a child. They even treated him better than their own grandsons.

“By the way, Little Mu, a brat riding a white tiger went to the temple to see Master Li. He didn’t come with good intentions. Hurry up and go to the temple to have a look.” Old Zhang said, “When you’re done, remember to come to my house for some noodles with chili oil. You liked to eat that in the past.”

“Okay. I’ll go to the temple and have a look first.”

Li Mu bid farewell to these hospitable old men and rushed to Randeng Temple.

Li Mu walked quickly up the stairs behind the “young master’s legacy” plaque, jumped to the gate of the temple, and shouted loudly, “Old man, I’ve heard that you are back. Come out and let me see if you are still as indecent as before... What the f*ck! Here’s another hole.”

As soon as he jumped through the gate of the temple, he suddenly felt his legs giving way, just like that year when he jumped into the meditation room, fell into a pit, and was teleported to the Heavenly Land. This time, he noticed that something was wrong, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

There were two moons shining with red light in the sky.

A log floated under the red moonlight.

A ferocious white tiger stood on one end of the log. An even more ferocious young man sat on the back of the white tiger.

Li Mu stood on the other end of the log with a dumbfounded look on his face.

“How did I come to such a place?

“Where am I?”

“Ha-ha-ha, you’ve finally shown up! Go to hell!”

As soon as the young man saw Li Mu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately charged at Li Mu like a rabid dog.

Swoosh!

A long sword flew out from his back and turned into a flash of light which flew toward Li Mu.

He attacked Li Mu aggressively, as if he were trying to kill a sworn enemy who had slept with his wife and taken his children away from him.

“What’s going on?”

Li Mu was confused. He raised his hand and threw a punch that sent the long sword flying. Then, he said, “Wait a minute. Who are you? What is this place? Tell me that first.”

“I will tell you nothing... Wa-ha-ha, go to hell!” The irascible young man was like a mad dog. He refused to listen to Li Mu. He reached out his hand and grabbed the long sword that had been sent flying backward. Then, he moved swiftly holding the sword in his hand, which turned into a flash of lightning that struck at Li Mu again.

Li Mu threw another punch, which sent the young man and his sword flying.

“You should talk nicely. If you come at me again, I won’t be this polite.” Standing on the log, Li Mu found that the atmosphere was very strange.
