Chapter 588 - Causing a Huge Stir

When Li Mu left the Gold Town, he deliberately laughed out loud and shouted that he was going to the Heavenly Meridian Region because he wanted the people in the market to spread the news about his whereabouts.

He meant to make waves in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region and draw everyone’s eyes on him so as to protect the Mount Shu Sect on the Bitter Star from external intrusions. That was also why he had chased Saint of Blood Sea all the way into the universe.

However, when Li Mu found that Saint of Blood Sea was too cunning and there was little gain in chasing after him, he immediately changed his target. To attract people’s attention, he then killed the stout merchant and the elder of the Gold Sun Sect named Zhou Changfa and unraveled the gold-colored fairy crystals in public.

Anyway, all he wanted was to make trouble, so it did not matter who became his victims.

The matter in Gold Town had indeed stirred up a huge storm in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

Li Mu’s “post” on the stone wall really caused a great stir among the cultivators of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

“All the major sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region are trash.”

It had been many years since someone dared to make such a remark, hadn’t it?

In the post with the footage attached posted by the cultivator called “All the People Are Blind Except Me”, the words Li Mu left on the walls of the market were given special close-ups, which caused the cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region to rise to a mighty uproar.

In particular, some rogue cultivators were simply watching the fun and couldn’t be happier to see people make a big deal out of it, so they kept kicking up the fuss.

Of course, the scornful remark of the pig spirit written on the wall also made countless cultivators speechless.

It was actually an ill-formed sentence.

However, this kind of mockery really drove all the sects mad, especially those from the Gold Sun Sect.

They were so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

“Li Mu can never walk out of the Star Wind City alive.”

A man nicknamed “Gold Sun Martial God” swore on the forum.

The name alone already told everyone that he was a member of the Gold Sun Sect.

Countless pairs of eyes began to swivel to the Star Wind City.

Cultivators from various regions were also on their way to Star Wind City.

This was a rare incident that only occurred once in hundreds of years. At first glance, one could tell that it would get interesting and so one should not miss the fun. In particular, the cultivators who made a living by selling news, intel, and information, all raced to Star Wind City as soon as possible, just like the paparazzi on Earth.

“How many days does Li Mu get to live?”

Some big gambling houses launched a new bet on the Immortal Net at the perfect timing.

The options included half a day, one day, two days…

And “four days” was the most daring option.

Although the odds on the option of “four days” were really high, no one had placed a bet on it yet, for no one believed that Li Mu could still live to the fourth day under such circumstances.

Li Mu, on the other hand, was having a lot of fun browsing the forum.

He thought about it and decided to register an account and make comments on the forum himself. But just at this moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes.

The Immortal Pavilion was a hotel run by the Tianyi Palace. Since it had a strong sect as its patron, it served all kinds of delicacies. Many wines and dishes in the hotel were made according to their secret recipes. Not only were they good in color, aroma, and taste, but they could also calm the diners down and improve their cultivation. The food and drinks there were conducive for cultivation and magically effective.

But the price they charge was really high.

Soon, the table was loaded with mouth-watering dishes.

As soon as Li Mu looked at the food, his appetite was aroused.

But when they began to eat, Li Mu suddenly realized that Ding Yi really had the foresight. And he really had to reduce his expenses to save money. Because in the universe, it was really not easy to keep a pig.

The pig spirit was really a big eater.

Li Mu and Ding Yi were already quick in terms of dining speed. Nonetheless, as they had just had a few mouthfuls, there were already several empty plates in front of the pig spirit.

Li Mu: “???”

“How could he eat so fast?”

Ding Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he directly reached out for the plate of stir-fried crane liver that was the closest dish to him. However, no sooner had he stretched out his hand that his vision blurred and then the plate was gone.

When he took another look, the pig spirit was holding a plate in his hand. He opened his big mouth and the whole plate of crane liver fell into his mouth.

“D*mn it!”

At once, Li Mu and Ding Yi were ticked off.

“Are we really dining?

“No, we’re feeding a pig.

“Uh… Well, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice is a pig.”

The two had no choice but to try to eat faster.

Thus, the three of them ate very fast as though they were in a war.

The waiter on the side watched them with his mouth wide open.

He had been working in the Immortal Pavilion for many years, but he had never seen any guests like these three. How many days had they been starved? They must be the incarnation of famished ghosts.

In the blink of an eye, all the food and wine on the table “vanished”.

Li Mu figured that if General Husky was here, he would probably rival this Second Senior Fellow Apprentice.

Apparently, the pig spirit was not satisfied yet. He grunted and said, “I want ten more sets of the food we just ate.”

Ding Yi did not know what to say.

Li Mu also patted his belly, burped, and then said, “Well, as we’ve all been well fed and watered, it’s time to talk business… Haven’t you two noticed that the hall is sort of deserted?”

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice said disparagingly, “Rascals, why act in secret? What’s the point of doing that? Just come out.”

It turned out that the pig spirit had long found that there was something wrong with the hotel.

But Ding Yi had failed to notice it.

Li Mu looked at the waiter with a smile and said, “Well, we’re full. Tell the people who are hiding in the dark to ambush us to come out.”

The look of surprise on the waiter’s face gradually faded. Quickly, it was replaced by a ferocious look. The waiter then said, “Haha, never thought that you could find out… Guys, come out.”

As soon as he said that, shadows flickered in all directions.

Dozens of high-level cultivators wearing the armor of the Tianyi Palace materialized, surrounding Li Mu and the other two from all sides.

“I am Mu Shun, the second-generation disciple of Tianyi Palace. Haha, Li Mu, you’re a scum from the inferior world. I wonder where you can run this time.”

With a shudder, the waiter’s uniform was replaced by a suit of precious armor. His aura of the Mortal Realm spread out. Needless to say, he was an expert of the Tianyi Palace with relatively high status. He stared at Li Mu and introduced himself with a stern voice.

Yue Guoxiang, the successor of the Tianyi Sect, was killed by Li Mu. So the members of the Tianyi Palace had a deep-seated hatred against Li Mu. Also, the Tianyi Sect was also the main force of the major sects that offered a reward to kill Li Mu.

In the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region, the Tianyi Sect could also be ranked in the top five. It had a deep foundation and a large number of members.

Li Mu didn’t turn a hair. Still seated at the table, he remarked, “I’m very curious about one thing. How did you find me so soon?”

The young expert, Mu Shun, gave a cold laugh and said, “You’re already the target of universal detestation. All the major sects are hunting you. Hehe, do you think we’re blind? How could we fail to notice when you swaggered around the city like this?”

Ding Yi looked at Li Mu and said, “Sect Master, I also think that the question you just asked is really bullshit. The answer is obvious. We didn’t put on any makeup to disguise ourselves when we came here.”

Li Mu was speechless.

The pig spirit directly grabbed his nine-forked rake and jumped up. In an impatient tone, he bellowed, “There’s room for discussion. Let’s get to the fight right now.”

He waved the rake and rushed over.

Mu Shun was holding a silver sword. He raised the sword to block the nine-forked rake, but the counterforce made him take five or six steps back. The part of his hand between the thumb and the index finger was torn open. With an effort, he steadied himself and said in surprise, “Are you the dumb pig that was dug out from a stone? You’re quite strong…”

The news that Li Mu had found a pig from a divine-level Primordial Stone had already bandied about on the Immortal Net. So, Mu Shun also knew the story of this pig spirit.

Upon hearing this, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice got angry. “You are a dumb pig. All the members in your family are dumb pigs.”

The pig spirit became angry and his combat strength doubled as well.

After all, he was a tough guy who could tie with Li Mu.

The people of the Tianyi Palace obviously underestimated the strength of Li Mu and his men. Like that Zhou Changfa in Gold Town, they all thought that Li Mu was a mere nobody in the Worm Realm who had just stepped into the universe and was no threat to them. However, they didn’t expect that the pig spirit was such a tough character and they were soon vanquished.

Before Mu Shun could run away, he was hit by Second Senior Fellow Apprentice’s rake and knocked to the ground. His legs were broken and he kept howling in pain.

“Haha, what a bunch of good-for-nothings! You can’t withstand a single blow of mine.” Second Senior Fellow Apprentice rocked forward and backward with laughter, then he began to skillfully give a body search to these disciples of the Tianyi Palace.

As soon as Li Mu saw it, he felt a chill in his heart.

“Why does his way of action look so familiar to me?”

“Seems that this pig spirit is also a badass.”

Li Mu and Ding Yi joined in without hesitation and began to plunder.

Soon, dozens of disciples of the Tianyi Sect became naked all over, and even their precious armors were pulled off by the pig spirit. As for their space storage devices and other valuable things, the pig spirit took them all, too.

“This place is dangerous. Let’s retreat,” Second Senior Fellow Apprentice blurted.

Li Mu scratched his head and felt that he might have made a wrong decision on bringing this pig along with him. No matter how he looked at it, he still couldn’t convince himself that the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice was a decent pig.

The three of them plundered in the entire Immortal Pavilion and then swaggered away.

By the time the others heard the wind of it and rushed over, it was already too late.

When the news got out, the entire Star Wind City was in an uproar.

Li Mu the Wild Broadsword was indeed a cruel man.

Not long after he killed Zhou Changfa, the elder of the Gold Sun Sect, he robbed the Immortal Pavilion, a hotel run by the Tianyi Palace, and broke the legs of Mu Shun, who was the direct disciple of Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword, an inner elder of the Tianyi Palace!

People from all walks of life swarmed into the Immortal Pavilion.

Some tried to use the Flashback Art and the Water Mirror Technique to replay the event but all failed. That was rather surprising because the incident happened not long ago and was supposed to be replayed. However, there seemed to be some hidden enchantment in the hotel that prevented the scene of the battle from flashing back.

However, Mu Shun and the others were still alive. After learning about the battle from those disciples of the Tianyi Palace, people were astounded. Clearly, they began to consider reevaluating the combat capability of Li Mu and the other two.

“Li Mu the Wild Broadsword, I’m gonna tear you into pieces!”

The roar of Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword, an inner elder of the Tianyi Palace, swept across half of the Star Wind City.

Countless people were shivering in fear.

At the same time, the forum of the “Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region” on the Immortal Net was in an uproar. The incident that occurred in the Immortal Pavilion quickly spread out and caused a heated discussion on the forum.

“Li Mu is really wild!”

“Who gave him so much courage to bring about his own destruction?”

“Is he a lunatic?”

“He is not a lunatic. He is a psychopath.”

“Guys, he has lived for half a day in Star Wind City.”

“Raise the stakes. I bet with a copper-colored fairy crystal that he won’t be able to live until tomorrow.”

“Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword, the inner elder of the Tianyi Palace, has landed in Star Wind City. The law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace has also arrived. This low life from the inferior world has nowhere to escape now.”

On the forum, more and more people were paying attention to this incident.

The forum called the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region was also getting more and more popular.

The managers of the forum immediately got perked up. Intentionally or unintentionally, they began to post the news about Li Mu to gain more popularity for the forum.

There were even more people who were dying to know what exactly had happened in the Immortal Pavilion.

After all, as the highest manager of the hotel and the direct disciple of Feng Zhen the Bloodless Sword, Mu Shun’s strength was indeed quite strong. Many years ago, he had reached the Mortal Realm, and he had long ranked in the top 50 on the list of the most powerful cultivators in Star Wind City. Thus, he could be said to be quite famous.

But Li Mu snapped the legs of such an imposing figure in such a short time. What realm had Li Mu’s strength reached then?

If there were footage recorded by the Water Mirror Technique, people would be able to judge that.

Unfortunately, though many people waited anxiously, none of such footage was posted on the Immortal Net.

“If someone is in possession of the footage of the battle in the Immortal Pavilion, I’m willing to pay a copper-colored fairy crystal for it.”

“Can’t agree more. I’ll pay two.”

“I’ll pay four…”

Wherever you went, you would find people with strong curiosity.

At this time, finally, a new user of the forum nicknamed “Forced to Keep a Pig” directly posted a post on the forum. The title of his post was simple and direct—

“The whole process of the battle in the Immortal Pavilion recorded by the Water Mirror Technique.”

“Ten copper-colored fairy crystals to read this post.”

“What the f*ck!”

“How heartless!”

When the people on the forum saw the title, they all cursed inwardly. “Who is so wicked? Charging us ten copper-colored fairy crystals to read a post? Why doesn’t he just go rob the bank?”
