Chapter 764 - Everything is a Misunderstanding

Despite the repeated military orders, the imperial edict of the emperor of the Qin Empire, and the efforts of Xu Sheng and Qiu Yin, the war still didn’t end, which surprised Li Mu. However, he suddenly understood everything when he saw Xu Sheng, who was severely injured, and the young man sitting languidly in the chair under the commander-in-chief flag.

“Is there any General-level practitioner among the Qin Empire’s troops on this border?”

It was far beyond Li Mu’s expectation.

A General-level master had come to the Heavenly Land, and he had relations with the border troops of the Qin Empire. It seemed that he had been here for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to control the troops so well.

“Bro, you have to be careful. Don’t act carelessly. This man is quite powerful. He knows that you...” upon seeing Li Mu, Xu Sheng reminded him immediately for fear that he might act recklessly.

Li Mu helped Xu Sheng up and injected the Wood Qi of Emperor Qing into Xu Sheng’s body to heal the wound. In an instant, Xu Sheng recovered from his injury.

“Ha-ha-ha, Li Mu, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you.” The young man’s eyes lit up when he saw Li Mu. He looked like a predator that had spotted a prey.

“Are you a practitioner from the Star River?” Li Mu looked at him and asked, “Which sect are you from? When did you sneak into the Heavenly Land?”

“Ha-ha, Li Mu, you have no right to ask me these questions. To tell you the truth, I’ve been waiting for you. He-he, I know your background. You have defeated some practitioners in the General Realm. That’s indeed a miracle, but you did that relying on other means. Your cultivation level is far from the General Realm. Don’t think that you can intimidate me with your fame, ha-ha-ha...”

The young man was very proud as if he were sure that he could defeat Li Mu.

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and did not even bother to say anything.

A thought stirred in his mind.

The power of the laws between heaven and earth surged silently like undercurrents, directly grabbing the neck of the young man and snatching him from the chair under the commander-in-chief flag.

“What?”

The smile on the young man’s face suddenly disappeared. He tried to free his neck with both hands, kicked his legs, and struggled desperately in the air.

However, his efforts were futile.

He activated the power of General Realm in his body to offset the power of the laws. However, even though the power activated by him reached the peak of the General Realm, he still felt like a newborn baby trying to free itself from the hand of a strong man. He just couldn’t break free.

“How could it be?”

With his feet off the ground, the young man involuntarily drifted toward Li Mu.

There was a look of horror and disbelief on his face.

The cruel fact instantly crushed his pride.

As a practitioner in the General Realm, he would be a top master in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. However, Li Mu caught him alive with just a glance and a thought and without even making a move... The gap between them was simply beyond words.

The gap was like the difference between heaven and earth.

“Order the troops to stop attacking,” said Li Mu.

The young man wanted to talk tough at first, but when he met Li Mu’s eyes, which contained the absolute authority and fierceness of an almighty god looking down at all living things coldly, his Taoist heart that he had painstakingly cultivated suddenly gave way.

“Okay. Please don’t kill me. I’ll withdraw the troops. I’ll do it right now,” the young man hurriedly said with an embarrassed look on his face.

An invisible strong force threw the young man out.

Thump!

He fell to the ground. Embarrassed, he got back on his feet and shouted loudly, “Pass my order. I order all the troops to stop attacking and retreat immediately.”

Now, he was scared of Li Mu.

The sound of drums rang out.

The battle cries gradually stopped.

The troops of the Qin Empire attacking the ten cities and nine regions retreated from the frontline like ebbing tides.

“Very good.” Li Mu looked at the young man and said, “Next question. Where are Yu Hualong, the emperor of the Great Moon Empire, and Li Anzhi, the princess of the Great Moon Empire? Tell me right now!”

The young man lowered his head, not daring to look Li Mu in the eye.

He had not recovered from the shock caused by Li Mu’s formidable power. “It has only been about half a year since Li Mu defeated those General-level masters in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, but he is so powerful now. Why?

“Is he a high-level master in the General Realm?

“Has he reached the peak of the General Realm?

“Or... No, no. He can’t be in the King Realm.

“It’s not that easy for a practitioner to enter the King Realm.

“It’s rare enough for the top clans, great powers and large sects in the core area of the Ziwei Star Zone to have one or two masters in the King Realm.”

The astonished young man shuddered when he heard Li Mu’s question. He said, “This... I’m afraid I can’t give them to you. They are no longer in our hands.”

“Tell me where did you send them?” Li Mu asked in a low voice.

“We sent them...” the young man was about to explain.

Before he finished speaking...

In the sky, large dark blue ripples suddenly appeared and spread out, surging like the raging tides in a blue ocean.

Then, numerous silvery war crafts sailed out of the dark blue mist, hovering in the sky above the ten cities and nine regions. Each warcraft was hundreds of meters long, with aesthetically pleasing shape and lines, looking magnificent and powerful. Obviously, given the current level of martial arts civilization on the Heavenly Land, the people there could not build such war crafts.

The way that those warships showed up was also shocking.

Countless generals and soldiers of the troops of the Qin Empire and the Great Moon Empire looked up at the sky.

It was the first time in the long history of the Heavenly Land that an external force of practitioners entered the Heavenly Land in such a big way.

Li Mu also raised his head and looked at the sky.

It seemed to be a force from the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, but no one knew which sect it was.

“Ha-ha, they’re the war crafts and masters of the Divine Sound Sect. Ha-ha-ha, let me tell you something. My mentor and the troops of the Divine Sound Sect are coming.” The young man suddenly became happy. He said, “The Divine Sound Sect is now the number one sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Ha-ha-ha, after our troops arrive, this world will belong to the Divine Sound Sect.”

The young man appeared to be extremely excited.

He looked like a child bullied in kindergarten who could finally complain to his parents when they picked him up from school.

“Divine Sound Sect?”

Li Mu was greatly surprised on hearing that name.

“In the past, the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was dominated by the Taiyi Sect, the Heavenly Devil Sect, and other large sects and great powers, but now there is the Divine Sound Sect. What’s going on?

“The chieftains’ flags over the city are always changing.

“How could the leading sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region be replaced so quickly? It is comparable to the frequency at which new heroes emerge in the game of the Honor of Kings.”

The young man secretly sent a message.

Li Mu pretended that he didn’t see it.

The flagship of the fleet landed directly on the ground in the camp of troops.

A beam of milky white light flashed across the void.

More than ten people in silvery light armor were teleported to the camp. The several leaders were not young, and they looked very strange. The patterns and styles of their clothes were completely inconsistent with the mainstream aesthetic trend in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, but instead, they had a vintage look and feel.

“Master? Ancestral Master? Head of Divine Sound Sect? You’re all here...” the young man roared excitedly, “I already saw Li Mu. He is right here.”

“Where is Li Mu?” A sage-like old man with a ruddy face looked around when he heard the young man’s words.

Soon, he recognized Li Mu.

Some other high-level masters of the Divine Sound Sect also fixed their eyes on Li Mu at once.

“Ha-ha, Li Mu, you are doomed this time. He-he, you’re just a high-level practitioner in the General Realm, while my grandmaster is already a half-step king.” The young man suddenly became animated and exhilarated as if he had come back to life after dying. He laughed wildly and said arrogantly, “Ha-ha, I guess you have no idea what the King Realm means. After all, you haven’t seen any master in the King Realm. Your authority ends right now. It’s the Divine Sound Sect’s turn to kill, ha-ha-ha-ha!”

He laughed in a much-exaggerated manner.

Then, something totally unexpected happened.

However, the old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion, who was the young man’s ancestral master, ignored the young man. Instead, he strode over to Li Mu and said in a very lowly and slightly flattering manner, “Mr. Li, there’s a misunderstanding. Everything is a misunderstanding.”

“A misunderstanding?” Li Mu looked at him.

The ancestral master smiled apologetically. “Yes, yes. It’s all a misunderstanding. It’s all Jiang Lizi’s fault. He’s just stupid. He didn’t understand our sect’s message correctly. As a result, he stirred up trouble on the Heavenly Land and went against the Great Moon Empire... We’ve brought the emperor of the Great Moon Empire and the little princess here. Mr. Li, please quell your anger. The Divine Sound Sect is willing to do anything to make it up.”

Jiang Lizi was the young man’s real name.

Now, he was looking at his ancestral master, completely dumbfounded.

“Why does the ancestral master seem to be so scared of Li Mu?

“There’s no need to be scared. Not to mention Li Mu, even a high-level master at the peak of the General Realm is nothing for the Divine Sound Sect—an old sect with a solid background. Why is the ancestral master so scared of Li Mu?”
