The Divine Martial Stars

Fairy Emperor of Light's expression was undecided.

In the end, he withdrew his menacing aura, nodded at Wang Shiyu, and announced, "Okay, I take you in as my disciple. I really hope you will inherit my mantle, so I certainly don't want to make an enemy out of you… I promise you."

He looked over his shoulder at Li Mu and the other and remarked, "You guys can take off now."

Just as Li Mu made to say something, he saw Wang Shiyu looking sideways at him, her face written with imploration as if urging him to quickly take the others out of there. Softened by her look, Li Mu swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.

However, he surely would not leave just like that.

Because the identity of Fairy Emperor of Light was definitely suspicious.

How could Li Mu rest assured if he left Wang Shiyu alone to that man?

The problem with her martial arts practice could be resolved sooner or later. When she got back to Earth, she might even ask the old faker to teach her. However, the idea of following that Fairy Emperor of Light to study martial arts was a bit ill-considered. After all, only God knew whether he truly accepted Wang Shiyu as his disciple or he had some other agendas behind this.

Yet, before Li Mu could speak, another person in the crowd walked to the front and made obeisance to Fairy Emperor of Light and said, "Senior, you can't let those people go. Their backgrounds are dubious."

That was a middle-aged man who was a little higher than five feet and a half. He had a fair and clean face, clad in silk robes, wearing a gold crown. Although his facial features were ordinary, his face was quite dignified and majestic. In particular, that pair of eyes of his seemed to be able to calm the others.

He was followed by more than a dozen people in black, all in black and black armor. Their faces were covered, so no one could see clearly what they looked like. And their auras were rather odd, which did not appear to be the auras of powerful martial arts practitioners. Even their vitality fluctuations were extremely weak.

Fairy Emperor of Light was upset. He shot a look at that man and snorted, a coercive force flooding out. He then bellowed, "This is my decision. Who are you to meddle in my business? Oh, it seems that as I haven't come out in 1,000 years, the bugs in this world all think that I am a yes-man…"

To everyone's surprised, that middle-aged man with a gold crown who did not seem to be very strong gave a faint smile, and a wave of energy soothing like a spring breeze wafted past in a flash, easily blocking the pressure sent by Fairy Emperor of Light and neutralizing it. "Senior, please don't blame me. I have no intention to overturn your decision. I just don't want you to be deceived by those people."

The look of Fairy Emperor of Light changed subtly.

"Who are you?" He demanded, staring at the middle-aged man wearing the gold crown.

His quiet resistance against that pressure aroused Fairy Emperor of Light's suspicion. He doubted that he just saw a defensive method of an old acquaintance, which sort of intimidated him.

The middle-aged man with a gold crown bowed respectfully, and then remarked, "I am just a nameless indigenous man on this planet. Fortunately, I received grace from my master and changed my body and my identity. When my master left here years ago, he reminded me to monitor the land, lest the sinners in the star Graveyard descended on this planet again."

"Who is your master? How do you know about the sinners?" Fairy Emperor of Light's complexion altered again and again.

The middle-aged man's words stirred a part of his memory and reminded him of some past events.

"My master has been gone for a long time. He only left a sign that I guess you may know about." The middle-aged man with a gold crown took out a finger-sized white beast fang from his storage device, holding it in his palm.

The beast fang was of the size of an adult's middle finger. It was slightly curved, snow-white, and radiant as jade, wrapped in a strange glow. A wave of power was concealed in it, which most people could not detect at all.

Fairy Emperor of Light, however, immediately read a lot of information from it.

A moment ago, the middle-aged man fended off Fairy Emperor of Light's pressure was solely attributed to that white beast fang. And Fairy Emperor of Light soon recognized the origin of the beast fang.

His eyes fixed on the middle-aged man with the golden crown instantly softened. Then, he said, "Turned out that you are the servant of an old friend of mine. What's the matter with the sinners you just mentioned? Are you telling me that those kids are the sinners from the Star Graveyard?" Fairy Emperor of Light pointed at Li Mu and his lot.

The middle-aged man with a gold crown nodded. "Senior, your surmise is totally correct. Yet, not all of them are sinners, only this young man named Li Mu. He is a fish that escaped from the net, who probably came along that old path. Senior, back then, you also traveled through thousands of stars to eradicate sinners and safeguard righteousness. You hated evil as much as your own enemies, and most hated sinners. You once declared that you would rather kill the wrong people than let one sinner slip through your fingers. That remark of yours has spread it all over the universe. And you've executed more than 10 million sinners and their descendants. Years ago, you got trapped here because you were hunting sinners. Today, you finally shook off the restriction and walked out of the cage. But how could you let the sinners in front of you just slip away?"

His remark was quite confusing to the others.

But it raised huge waves in Li Mu's mind.Read more chapter on v ip novel. com

The sinners from Star Graveyard was undoubtedly his reference to the people living on Earth.

Some of the books carried by the extraterrestrial practitioners mentioned the word "Star Graveyard", which specifically referred to the solar system, while the sinners referred to the Earth residents. Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, had mentioned that matter to Li Mu once.

"This Fairy Emperor of Light has killed more than 10 million sinners and their descendants?"

"That's to say the Earth residents who died in his hands— no, to be precise, the practitioners on Earth in ancient times were quite a lot, right? Presumably around 100 million. But if taking the descendants of the ancient practitioners on Earth into account as well, then, the actual number was probably approximate to the previous one."

At that point, Fairy Emperor of Light rested his eyes on Li Mu again. His gaze was cold as the freezing spring coming from deep down the earth. He asked, "Boy, are you really a sinner from that prison?"

Wang Shiyu, who was standing next to Li Mu, had not completely digested the remark of the middle-aged man with the gold crown. But she already realized that they were in danger. Just as she made to defend Li Mu, she caught Li Mu's warning eyes and stopped short.

"Yes." Li Mu chose not to eliminate the danger with lies.

He could not lie on that matter.

Straightened up like a lonely peak that supported the sky, Li Mu said, "Yes, I come from Earth, and I am an Earth resident. But, I am not a sinner."

The face of Fairy Emperor of Light was suddenly murderous. He began to laugh wildly. Then, he roared, "Good, very good, very good indeed. No wonder that from the first glance, I sensed a kind of aura on you, which repulses me very much and entices me to kill you. It turns out that there is the dirty sinner's blood flowing in your body. That's right. God always knows. He arranged for you to come here on the day I broke out. Your dirty sinner's blood is right to serve as the sacrifice."

Li Mu and his friends were the first to find him. And it was all because of that bowl of blood Ming Yue donated that he recovered a little bit of strength and was able to subdue the extraterrestrial practitioners who latter arrived. It should be noted that when they found Fairy Emperor of Light, he was so weak that any random member of the Four Men's Symphony could kill him with simply blow. That was because, in the long centuries, nearly all his Source Energy had been consumed. Thus, when Li Mu and the others first showed up, he deliberately hid in the hut for a while and observed them in secret before he came to the light, pretending to be kind, amicable, and free-spirited in case that Li Mu and the others had some evil plots. Later, He took Ming Yue's blood to adjust his breathing and created extremely amazing Spiritual Qi fluctuations, which deterred the rest of the extraterrestrial experts in advance. In that way, he made sure that he could keep the situation under control when more extraterrestrial experts came to him. Even if those experts arrived with a few less-friendly ideas, he would nip those ideas in the bud.

Therefore, Li Mu and his lot could be regarded as the true benefactor of Fairy Emperor of Light.

He knew that there must be a cause for it, so he let himself owe them for this one. But for some unknown reason, he could not help but longing to kill Li Mu. That was why he let the Heavenly Deployment Sect continuously suppress Li Mu. In fact, he knew clearly about the tricks of the Heavenly Deployment Sect.

The extraterrestrial practitioners also looked at Li Mu, utterly appalled.

They had also heard a little bit about the lore of the sinners in the Star Graveyard.

It was rumored that in the Star Graveyard buried the greatest evil, the greatest terror, the greatest darkness, and the greatest brutality. And one of the stars had been described as the origin of the evil in the universe. All the creatures coming out of it were like devils, The blood of sin flowing in their bodies would bring huge disaster to the entire universe.

Over the years, the sinners had been hunted and uprooted by almost all the people in the galaxy. Many people had forgotten that past and forgotten all about the sinners. The Star Graveyard had also become a forbidden area. Nobody ever wanted to go there and get killed.

Nonetheless, Li Mu turned out to be a sinner who had crawled out of the Star Graveyard?

Countless eyes fell on Li Mu.

Li Mu looked calm and confident.

"Whose blood is dirty and whose is noble should not be defined by empty words." Li Mu straightened up, then, looked at that middle-aged man with a gold crown and asked, "Who are you? And how do you know that I am from Earth?"

Li Mu had never met that man before, but he uttered his true identity the moment he saw him with great certainty. That puzzled Li Mu considerably.

In addition to Wang Shiyu, he had revealed his true identity to only two people. One was Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire who was already living as a soul in that world. The other was that mysterious Lord Qu from the Southern Chu Empire, who once sent a messenger to Taibai City and pointed out Li Mu's true identity in his face.

The middle-aged man with a gold crown smiled a little and remarked, "I am Jiang Qingluan, Lord Qu from the Southern Chu. Li Mu, you have reached a dead-end today. It is better to surrender now. Maybe that can purify the sin in your blood."

Sure enough, it was Lord Qu.

Li Mu did not answer him. Instead, very intrigued, he asked, "How did you know that I came from Earth? Who told you?"

The middle-aged man with the gold crown replied with a smile. "You told me yourself, of course. Haha, that beauty poem, as well as several other poems you made later, are all works from Earth. One might be a coincidence. But two and more can't be. Only Earth people know about those poems. So, the only explanation is that you are from Earth yourself. Boy, you drew a lot of attention on you. As you made yourself the poetry and martial arts whiz and got your works popular in the world, you also exposed your identity."

"Huh?" Li Mu suddenly had a revelation. "You… are also from Earth?" Only real Earth residents, such as Wang Shiyu, could deduce Li Mu's true origin from those poems.

Lord Qu's expression was peaceful, and the calm smile was still on his face. It was just that that smile made Li Mu want to punch him hard in the face.

Lord Qu nodded and replied, "You guessed it right. The old me was also from that filthy place. But my master had changed my blood and marrow and cleansed my sin. Now, I am no longer a sinner from Earth but a servant of my master."

"Who the hell are you?" Li Mu snarled, his eyes flashing aggressively.

Lord Qu said, "I think you have met Yu Hualong before. He is my junior fellow apprentice. Well, have I made myself clear with that statement?"
