The Divine Martial Stars

Yu Hualong and Li Anzhi were among the people behind the ancestral master.

The ancestral master politely asked them to step forward.

"Mr. Li, we haven't seen each other for a while. How have you been?" Yu Hualong looked at Li Mu with a signature smile on his face. He was gentle and elegant, giving off the aura of a renowned scholar. He said, "It seems that you have saved me once again. How many times have you done that?"

Yu Hualong was an accomplished ghost practitioner. He had a compact but strong body, looking like an ordinary person, and his appearance had not changed at all.

"How have you been?" Li Mu smiled and nodded.

Li Anzhi, who was just a baby back then, had changed a lot.

Back then, Li Mu found her in a pile of dead bodies, took her home, and adopted her. She was five years old now.

The little girl was not a natural beauty. After all, her parents were just people with ordinary backgrounds. However, perhaps because she practiced martial arts, her skin was tender and white, her forehead was slightly wider and higher, and her eyebrows were as thin as painted willow leaves. Although she didn't have a perky nose and big eyes, she looked as if she were smiling before she spoke. She had two small dimples that made her look pretty and lovely.

She raised her head and looked at Li Mu in a slightly timid and curious way.

"Are you my dad?" She tried to open her eyes wide.

She was a very cute little girl.

Li Mu beckoned to her and said, "Come here. Let me give you a hug."

Deep down, he felt a little guilty for this little girl.

He saved and adopted her, but he had been a "father" only in name and hadn't spent much time educating and taking care of her these years. Moreover, they didn't see each other very often. Yu Hualong had been taking care of her and educating her.

At first, Li Mu thought that Li Anzhi would be timid and feel estranged from him when she saw him again. After beckoning to her, he felt that it might be too abrupt for him to do so. Unexpectedly, the little girl rushed straight into his arms.

"Daddy, you are so handsome." As she spoke, she kissed Li Mu on the cheek.

Li Mu was a little dumbfounded. Then, for some unknown reason, he felt a soft, warm current sweeping through his heart.

Holding Li Anzhi in his arms, he felt overjoyed. His killing intent arising from anger gradually disappeared.

"This little girl has a natural genius, and she is a good candidate to practice martial arts. Mr. Li, although I am not famous in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region and the Divine Sound Sect has been in a half-hidden state, but we have several Cultivation Methods that are very suitable for her. I would like to take her as my disciple. I'm wondering if you will agree."

The ancestral master walked over to them with a smile on his face.

Li Mu glanced at him and asked Li Anzhi in his arms, "Little Anzhi, what do you think?"

"I don't want to be his disciple." The little girl put her arms around Li Mu's neck holding on to him tightly, rest her head on his shoulder, and murmured, "I want to be with you forever."

Li Mu burst into laughter.

Fate was really a wonderful thing.

Li Mu didn't know why, but he felt a natural affinity with this little girl and that there was something beyond bloodline between them.

"Did you hear that?" Li Mu glanced at the ancestral master.

The ancestral master did not look embarrassed at all. He just said disappointedly, "That's really a pity. It's a pity that the Divine Sound Sect doesn't have luck. What a pity."

When Jiang Lizi saw this scene, a storm raged through his heart.

"What's going on?

"It's enough for the ancestral master to send Yu Hualong and the little princess back in person. However, he apologized to Li Mu so humbly and said that he would like to take that little girl as his disciple. If she really became the disciple of the ancestral master, she would be my grandmaster. At that time, even the Head of Divine Sound Sect would have to call the little girl master.

"How glorious it is!

"However, Li Mu directly rejected the ancestral master's proposal.

"The ancestral master was not angry, but instead he looked as if he had lost something.

"What's wrong with this world?"

Jiang Lizi was indignant, but he dared not speak.

Li Mu looked at the ancestral master and found that the ancestral master was not pretending to be sincere. Then, an idea occurred to him. He said, "It's impossible for my daughter to join the Divine Sound Sect. After you think about it carefully, you will know that your words don't carry that much weight. You just said that the Divine Sound Sect has several manuals of Cultivation Methods that are very suitable for Anzhi. How about this? You may regard her as a nominal disciple. Send someone to bring those books of Cultivation Methods to me. I'll take a look at them first. If they are suitable, I will consider letting Anzhi practice them..."

Hearing that, Xu Sheng couldn't help but gasp.

"I can't see through this old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion, and I don't know his cultivation level. However, from the fact that the Divine Sound Sect's war crafts can break the void barrier and land on the Heavenly Land, I can see that the so-called Divine Sound Sect is probably an extraordinary ancient sect.

"The old man must have a high position in the Divine Sound Sect.

"However, Li Mu not only said that the old man didn't deserve to be Li Anzhi's master, but he also requested the old man to hand in the sect's secret manuals... He was a little too arrogant. How could he do that?"

Jiang Lizi was boiling with anger when he heard what Li Mu said.

"Is Li Mu out of his mind?"

However, when the ancestral master heard the same words, he didn't get angry, but instead, he looked delighted. He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Ha-ha, good, very good. Thank you, Mr. Li. Within three days, I will surely have my men... oh, no, I mean, I will bring you the manuals in person. Ha-ha, I'm so happy to have Anzhi as my nominal disciple. It's a big event for the Divine Sound Sect."

Li Mu nodded.

"Um, this old fellow is quite sensible."

However, Li Mu was not deceived by the kindness that the ancestral master showed. "The people of the Divine Sound Sect are in no way kind and trustworthy. Their war crafts came here in such a big way. They must have planned to do something big on the Heavenly Land. The ancestral master flattered me in a hundred different ways just because he ran into me and clearly knew that his people could not defeat me.

"He knows when to yield and when to stand tall. He is indeed an old fox that has lived for hundreds of years."

"There's one more thing. You have to explain what you've done on the Heavenly Land and compensate the families of those who have died because of your plan. Think about it carefully. These things must be done well before Li Anzhi receives the Divine Sound Sect's cultivation manuals. Otherwise, you can't blame me for being aggressive."

Li Mu looked very serious.

"Sure, we should do those things. We'll make statistics and provide compensations." The ancestral master agreed. His mild and friendly attitude even made people feel sympathy for him.

Li Mu nodded his head and said, "You can leave now."

The ancestral master bowed to Li Mu, helped Jiang Lizi up, and got back to the flagship with other people of the Divine Sound Sect.

The fleet set out.

Soon, all the war crafts of the Divine Sound Sect left the Heavenly Land.

On the flagship.

"Ancestral Master, why are you so tolerant with Li Mu?" Jiang Lizi said indignantly, "That man is arrogant and unrestrained. He doesn't take the Divine Sound Sect seriously at all. He's just a practitioner from the inferior world. You're a master in the King Realm, and you can crush him to death with only one finger."

"You know nothing." The ancestral master, who had been gentle and mild in front of Li Mu, directly cursed, "This time, the Divine Sound Sect made a trip to the edge of hell and almost got exterminated. Do you know who on earth Li Mu is?"
