The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 537 - Future Leader of the Fate-defying Sect (1)

Chapter 537 Future Leader of the Fate-defying Sect (1)

“What? You’re now elite disciples of Mount Shu?”
In a hidden place outside White Emperor City, Li Mu was flabbergasted after listening to the account of Xiao Dong, Luo Xuanxin, and the others.
To rescue the maid of Ye Wuhen, the Virgin Goddess of the Moon Dao Sect, these four guys had accidentally entered White Emperor City, where the nine major forces of the Decent Alliance had tried all sorts of means to enter but failed. Furthermore, during the days when the Precious Qi of Cyan Lotus erupted, the four of them astonished the entire Devil Cult with a stunning speed of absorbing the Precious Qi. They then passed a ton of tests and were found that they had the purest blood of the Devil Cult, so they became the core disciples of the Devil Cult on Mount Shu and were allowed to enter the secret realm of White Emperor City to cultivate.
That was why their strength had increased by leaps and bounds and they had all entered the Natural Realm.
After hearing their stories, Li Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Was this their good luck?
Anyway, it turned out to be a good thing.
At least there was no need to worry about these four fellows.
“Teacher, you definitely can’t guess what kind of the entry tests the White Emperor City used.” Lu Xun said with exhilaration. “We were struck dumb right on the spot and thought that someone was deliberately making a fool of us.”
Li Mu smiled and said, “They didn’t test you with Li Bai’s poem, did they?”
The four were left open-mouthed at once.
“Teacher, how come you know everything?” Lu Xun asked, his expression frustrated.
Xiao Dong answered matter-of-factly, “Of course our teacher is omnipotent.”
This kid’s worship towards Li Mu was too deep to be saved.
“Turns out that the Devil Cult on Mount Shu is actually the heritage of Li Bai, the great poet on Earth in the Tang Dynasty.” Qiu Shuiming also sighed with emotion, “I really didn’t expect that 1,000 years ago, someone already left Earth and adventured into outer space. Li Bai is a real Sword Whiz.”
“Yes, by our inference, not only Li Bai but also many ancient people have walked out of Earth…” said Luo Xuanxin. She was a great beauty on Earth and was born in the martial arts society. She was tall and slender, carrying around with a kind of female heroic spirit. At the moment, she also spoke with excitement.
“It’s said that there’s a Path created by immortals….”
“Yes, yes. In this way, the Mount Shu Sect was founded by our people on Earth. Then, could the legends about Mount Shu Sword Whiz on Earth be true?”
The four of them were adrenalized.
In particular, they finally met their idol in this world. For them, nothing could top this wonderful event.
Li Mu looked at them with a smile.
Luo Xuanxin suddenly thought of something and asked, “Teacher, you… Don’t tell me you already know all this, do you?”
Li Mu burst out laughing.
The four of them immediately covered their faces with both hands.
They were reporting to Li Mu as if they were presenting the greatest discovery in history. But it turned out that they were actually the ill-informed.
“Can you bring people into White Emperor City?” Li Mu asked.
He told them what had happened to Gu Lang and the others.
Upon hearing it, Lu Xun and the other three were both anxious and infuriated.
“This so-called Decent Alliance frequently slaughters people. They are not even as good as the Devil Cult.”
“We can’t let go of this just like that.”
“The West Sea Sword Sect is too vicious!”
Li Mu remarked, “We can take time to settle this account later. However, the most urgent thing at the moment is to send Senior Gu and the others to a safe place. In the entire Mount Shu, only the White Emperor City is unbreakable. Well, how is the situation inside the city?”
With confidence, Lu Xun said, “Mount Shu is very united. The four main branches have already let go of their past enmity, and future leaders of the branches called Fairy Tang and Li Shan, which are said to have been extinct, have emerged recently.”
“Oh, could there be such a thing?”
“Fairy Tang Sect and Li Shan Sect actually have successors?”
“Seems that the Devil Cult has a deeper foundation than I imagined.”
“However, why didn’t the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect appear?”
These thoughts flashed across Li Mu’s mind. Then, he asked, “Can you bring Senior Gu and the others into White Emperor City?”
“There shouldn’t be any problems,” Lu Xun said. “However, we still need to discuss this matter with the heads of the major branches. Currently, White Emperor City is heavily guarded, lest spies from the Decent Alliance sneak in. Therefore, the guards at all the secret entrances have been screening for spies.”
Li Mu nodded.
This was reasonable.
Just as Li Mu was about to say something, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he swiftly looked over his shoulder.
A figure, like a fleeting flash of light, emerged from the void. She was dressed in a green-jade-colored garment, which was eye-catching and very gorgeous. Coupled with her light-green long hair, she looked like a fairy living in a forest. She was peerlessly appealing and had a unique and striking beauty.
It was Ye Wuhen, the Virgin Goddess of the Moon Dao Sect.
“It’s you?” Ye Wuhen stared at Li Mu, and then flickered her eyes towards Li Mu’s handyman uniform with the symbol of the West Sea Sword Sect. Her face suddenly became as cold as snow, and she said, “You’re indeed not a good man. You’re a spy from the nine forces!”
Li Mu corrected, “In fact, things are not like what you imagined…”
“What a familiar line!”
But Ye Wuhen obviously did not want to listen to Li Mu’s sophistry.
She shot a look at Lu Xun and the other three and said, “You’re actually in cahoots with this spy! Could it be that you’re also planted here by the Decent Alliance? Are you worthy of the blood of the Divine Sect that is coursing inside you?”
The four of them had no idea what to say for the moment.
However, Li Mu took on a “whatsoever” look and remarked, “Since you are here, I’d ask you for a favor. I want you to bring a few people into White Emperor City. With your identity as the Virgin Goddess of the Moon Dao Sect, it should not be difficult for you, right?”
Ye Wuhen’s eyes were wide open. For a moment, she could not keep up with Li Mu’s logic.
“I haven’t investigated you, but you already dare to make a request?”
She said angrily, “Are you joking with me? You, a spy, are asking me to bring people into White Emperor City? Have you gone mad?”
Beaming, Li Mu said, “If you help me bring my people into White Emperor City and make them safe, I’ll help you deal with the nine major forces of the Decent Alliance.”
Ye Wuhen snorted coldly and attacked without hesitation.
The Moon-scrubbing Broadsword hacked out like lightning in an instant.
Li Mu shook his head. As soon as he raised his hand, the blade was caught between his fingers. No matter how hard Ye Wuhen tried to exert her Cultivation Method, she could not pull it out. Ye Wuhen looked at Li Mu in great shock and said, “You… It transpires out that you have such great strength. So you’ve concealed your strength before? Tell me, who on earth are you?”
Li Mu took a look at the blade between his fingers and saw that the blunt side was facing himself instead of the sharp side. Thus, although the hack Ye Wuhen just performed seemed extremely ferocious, in reality, even if it had hit him, the worse case would be that he was knocked out or be injured a little.
So, despite her fierce words, she was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Li Mu said with a chuckle, “I’m from the Devil Cult, er, no, the Divine Sect. It’s just that I am an undercover agent hiding among the nine major forces for the time being.”
That was sheer nonsense.
Hearing this, Ye Wuhen edited it with a little imagination, then, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
“You…” She suddenly realized something and a strange light flashed across her eyes. “Are you… the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect?”
“Oh? You actually figured out my identity in spite of my effort to keep it a secret.” Li Mu was stunned at first, but he immediately followed the idea. “Girl, you are very smart.”
Anyway, it would take a long time to tell the story of Eart, Li Bai, and so on. And the thing was that it was difficult to explain it clearly. So, Li Mu felt it was better to pretend to be the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect first and solve the battle between the devil and the decent. After that, he would have time to explain everything.
“How… how can you prove it?” Ye Wuhen struggled with all her might, trying to pull back her Moon-scrubbing Broadsword. She yelled, “Loosen your grip!”
Li Mu let go of the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword in his hand.
Ye Wuhen was still on alert. She drew back like lightning, distancing herself from Li Mu. Holding the broadsword in her hand, she was ready to attack at any time. She looked Li Mu up and down with a softer look, then insisted, “You have no proof other than your words. If you are from our Divine Sect, would you dare to take the divine blood test?”
“The divine blood test?”
Li Mu was taken aback.
Lu Xun explained, “Teacher, we have all taken the divine blood test. It only needs a drop of your blood.”
Li Mu considered it for a moment before saying “Okay.” There was no need to be afraid. After all, every Earth person had the divine blood.
Ye Wuhen took out a fist-sized metal ball carved with peculiar patterns all over. It was hollow inside and it glowed with enigmatic silver light. She said, “Come here, drip your blood into this.”
Li Mu flicked his thumb against his middle finger, and a drop of blood was shot into the hollow metal ball.
After a brief moment of silence, the silver metal ball suddenly burst into a strange brilliance, like a burning moon. The light danced feverishly, and there was a faint dragon’s roar coming out from it. Finally, a phantom of a silver dragon as thick as a finger roamed out from the inside of the silver hollow metal ball, twining around it in an elegant manner. The dragon looked quite vivid.
“Whoa…”
“My phantom appeared to be a silver rabbit, right?”
“Mine was a silver bat.”
“Mine was a tree.”
The four talents of the Chinese Martial Alliance foolishly dropped their jaws.
Their teacher was their teacher. His blood had directly conjured a silver dragon.
“Dragons soar through the highest heavens and hide in the deepest abyss. They are divine creatures.”
Astonished, Ye Wuhen gawked at the hollow silver metal ball floating in the air by itself.
Only she knew what this indicated.
Li Mu did have the bloodline of the Divine Sect. The future leader of the Fate-defying Sect had finally appeared.
And he even had the bloodline of the dragon.
Li Mu waved his hand, and the drop of blood soared back into his fingertip. Then, he said with a grin, “Well, do you believe me now?”
Ye Wuhen gradually calmed down.
She took back the hollow silver metal ball and looked at Li Mu with an odd look. Eventually, she said, “Although you are the future leader of the Fate-defying Sect, you can’t bring anyone you like into White Emperor City. Only those who belong to the Divine Sect can enter the city. Otherwise, even if the head of the sect comes, there is no way to send them in.” Speaking of this, Ye Wuhen adopted a slightly softer tone and continued, “White Emperor City is only safe for now. Once the battle between the devil and the decent is over… If you want to protect your relatives and friends, you’d better send them out of Mount Shu.”
“Huh?
She, a higher-level member of the Divine Sect, is already so pessimistic?”
Li Mu smiled and then said, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, White Emperor City will be safe and sound.”
“Hehe.” Ye Wuhen smiled faintly. Clearly, she didn’t believe these words weighed much.
In her view, Li Mu was indeed quite strong, more potent than her. However, his strength also had a limit—his cultivation could not be higher than the Great Sage Realm. Having such cultivation at this age, Li Mu was certainly very strong and could be regarded as almost heaven-defying. But it was a fool’s talk to say that he could change the result of this battle between the devil and the decent. After all, among the older generation, there were several experts in the Void-breaking Realm, and there might be immortals descending on this planet…There was no time for him to improve his strength now.
In the end, with Ye Wuhen’s cooperation, Gu Lang and the others took the divine blood test and entered White Emperor City.
Li Mu accompanied them to the gate of the city but did not go in.
“It’s extremely dangerous to mix with the nine major forces. Why don’t you return to White Emperor City and fight these hypocrites head-on on the battlefield?” suggested Ye Wuhen with a seemingly nonchalant tone. She had doubled back after sending Gu Lang and the others into the city.
Li Mu laughed. “Are you worrying about me? Be at ease, I won’t be hurt.”
“Humph! Do as you like then.” Ye Wuhen’s expression turned ice-cold yet again. “Be careful. Don’t die outside of White Emperor City. If that happens, your body won’t be left intact. And No one is going to bury you.” She was indeed beautiful as flowers but cold as frost. She looked cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Li Mu countered, “As long as you don’t betray me, I will be very safe.”
“Rest assure. No one else will know about this matter of yours,” promised Ye Wuhen. She certainly understood Li Mu’s words. For the time being, she would not tell anyone else in White Emperor City about this secret.
“That’s good. I’ll see you later.” With that, Li Mu leaped to the air in a flash and departed.
Ye Wuhen stood where she was and stared at the place Li Mu had disappeared in the distance. The look on her incredibly delicate face changed again and again.
“How could it be him?”
She muttered to herself.
