The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 637 - Deliberately Going Easy on Them

Chapter 637 Deliberately Going Easy on Them

After the huge face was shattered, the power of Ghost Seer dropped sharply. He was not even as powerful as the three Holy Sages. Thus, how could he escape from Li Mu’s current means? He lobbed the Taoist figures of the ghost-suppressing talisman at him and pinned him in the air.
Ning Jing stepped out and escorted him straightforward to Li Mu.
Ghost Seer was a member of the human clan in the universe. He was dressed like a scholar and his cultivation was likely at the peak of the Ghost Lord Realm. In the world of the living, his strength was probably in the General Realm, which was much weaker than that of the three Holy Sages. It now made sense that the Holy Sages took the tone of talking to a subordinate when they first mentioned Ghost Seer.
As for the power of that huge face, it should not be his real strength.
Facing Li Mu again, Ghost Seer began to shiver. The fear in his eyes was hard to conceal. Unlike the time when he was that huge face, he was no longer looking down on the earth as if the world was his oyster. At this moment, he looked like a phoenix being kicked off from the bracket.
With a quick glance at him, Li Mu learned a lot of information.
The man in front of him was the real Ghost Seer. The huge face that appeared moments ago was probably that there was another more horrible creature that had come back to life out of the blue or he had slipped into an absurd state.
Seeing this, the three Holy Sages in the distance also realized that things were not going well.
Even that lord had been defeated. The three of them were definitely no match for this young newcomer, not to mention that he had the Two Sages of Bone Sacred Mountain and the ponytailed girl carrying a sword and a broadsword on his side.
At this time, the three Holy Sages already regarded Li Mu as the real mastermind behind the world war on the Ghost Rally Star. This might be a conspiracy that had been hatched for hundreds of years. And the Bone Sacred Mountain was just a force he had put on the table. Who knew how many bone-chilling conspiracies were there waiting for them?
“What did that lord say just now?”
“The Divine Nest?”
Since the lord was so afraid of the Divine Nest, the three Holy Sages still panicked like frightened birds, even though they had no idea what the so-called Divine Nest was.
“Gotta run!”
Holy Sage White Bone Shadow and Holy Sage Flying Light turned tail and fled, completely ignoring the badly injured Holy Sage Black Sun who was pleading for their help.
But how could they escape?
The starlight net, which had destroyed the huge face, had not dissipated yet.
Controlled by Li Mu’s will, the starlight net swooped down, leaving no place to escape within thousands of miles. Not only the three Holy Sages but also the three Ghost Lords leading the Lost Land, the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and the Holy Ghost Sect, as well as the tens of thousands of ghost cultivators under their command, had been trapped in the net.
These were the evil remnants of the Three Divine Sects. They had fought against the Bone Sacred Mountain for days. The hatred the two parties held for each other was so strong that it could never be resolved peacefully.
Therefore, Li Mu dealt with them with fierce means. Showing no mercy, he directly ordered the starlight net to tighten up, turning the three Holy Sages and their hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators into ashes, which soon dissipating between heaven and earth.
The Ghost Qi all over the sky was as dense as thick ink.
The three Holy Sages, in particular, had cultivated in this world for countless years. So, the moment their ghost bodies were destroyed, majestic energies stored in their bodies were released. The sky within a radius of thousands of miles now seemed to be filled with flowing inky seawater. The energy fluctuations were so rich that every ghost cultivator in the Bone Sacred Mountain felt bursts of fear.
Effortlessly, Li Mu had reduced the Holy Sages to ashes.
Such a scene frightened all the ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain.
This was an unimaginable scene.
After a brief silence, a round of earth-shattering shouts burst out from the ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain.
Not only had they defended their sect but they had also triumphed in a dreamlike way.
The death of the three Holy Sages connoted that the Bone Sacred Mountain could replace the Three Divine Sects and become the new ruler of the Ghost Rally Star.
From this moment on, the new master of the world was in power.
After experiencing such a fierce battle, every ghost cultivator of the Bone Sacred Mountain was so excited that they couldn’t control themselves.
Under such daunting pressure, they still chose to stay and stand beside the Two Sages. They had prepared to die for their dreams, to use their last chance life to defend the power and dignity their hearts longed for. However, to their immense surprise, they turned out to end things with an epic victory.
A new era had begun as the new rule came to the stage.
While raising an arm and cheering with the ghost cultivators, Elder Zhen Ye in the Ghost General Realm also held up his chin to steal a few glances at Li Mu.
Since the moment the Two Sages and the ponytailed girl behaved respectfully in front of Li Mu, he had realized that everything he had surmised before was wrong. The Wild Broadsword was no junior ghost cultivator. Nor was he a rising star. Instead, He was obviously a real mogul as mysterious and powerful as a dragon.
Zhen Ye was now extremely curious about Li Mu’s background.
But he also knew that from now on, he and Li Mu were already two people at opposite poles of the planet. Even though he wanted to ask that question, he would have no chance. Even if Li Mu was right in front of him, he would not have the nerve to ask anyway. How could he dare to call him “buddy” again?
The pair of ghost cultivators, who had been under Li Mu’s command the whole time, were now more spirited and excited than the other ghost cultivators.
In particular, that young man, who wept and trembled in fear but eventually did not flinch before the war began, raised his head high and gazed at Li Mu, like a sunflower following the sun.
Having experienced the hellish trial, he learned that from now on, no matter what kind of hardships he encountered, he would never flinch back again.
The young Ghost Emperor, who would later overawe the universe, was quietly growing up.
No one at this time could imagine how formidable this team of ghost cultivators under Li Mu’s command, which was comprised of less than 50 people following Li Mu and had made little impression in this epic war, would become in later times.
At this time, they were still minions, whose voices had been drowned in the howling and roaring of the countless ghost cultivators. They were just like a few grains of dust in the boundless desert.
Up in the sky.
Li Mu activated the starlight net with his Taoist magic art and directly refined the majestic Ghost Qi, which looked like the upside-down sea of ink.
In the end, when the glowing Taoist figures of the ghost-suppressing talisman, evil-slaying talisman, heaven-fighting talisman, and demon-exterminating talisman quietly dissipated, the majestic Ghost Qi began to fall to the earth like pouring rain.
Every ghost cultivator was surprised to find that when the light-black raindrops fell on them, they seeped into their bodies and turned into tiny streams to nourish their cultivation.
Some smart ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain quicker realized what was going on and immediately ran their ghost Cultivation Method to absorb the power of the raindrops to enhance their cultivation.
Soon, almost all the ghost cultivators cottoned on.
This was a special opportunity given to them by the lord who had slain the three Holy Sages as if slaughtering pigs. They couldn’t help but feel extremely grateful toward him.
In the sky, Li Mu felt a little weary after doing all this.
It all owed to his Eye of Flaws and his new understanding of the old faker’s Taoist magic arts that he managed to completely destroy that huge face.
Both of these techniques had a natural restraining effect on ghost cultivators.
Particularly, when the ghost Cultivation Methods and Ghost Qi came in contact with the Taoist magic arts and talisman of the old faker came into contact, they evaporated in an instant, just like bright snow melting under the scorching sun.
If Li Mu’s opponent was any living person with the same cultivation as the huge face, he would have long been defeated.
“Now Young Master has bestowed this rain of blessing on us, the Bone Sacred Mountain will be the number one overlord of the Ghost Rally Star in the thousand years to come. There won’t be any other ghost sects strong enough to challenge it,” Ning Jing exclaimed respectfully and gratefully.
These 100,000 ghost cultivators the Bone Sacred Mountain had at present were the real gold sifted out from the sand. Those who were chicken-hearted, cowardly, and lacked a strong will had already fled before this huge battle. All the remaining forces could be said to be loyal and brave elites.
After absorbing this “rain of purified Ghost Qi”, the combat strength of those 100,000 ghost cultivators would increase by leaps and bounds. They would soon become an invincible army of the Bone Sacred Mountain. In the days to come, which force on the entire Ghost Rally Star would ever be qualified to rival this army of the Bone Sacred Mountain?
After all, Ning Jing was born in a military family, and he had gained many insights in these years’ cultivation. Moreover, he had experienced those life-and-death disasters. Although his character was still simple and honest, his vision and knowledge had improved by many times. Therefore, to him, the significance of this big battle and the rain of Ghost Qi toward the Bone Sacred Mountain was as clear as day, and could be discovered at just one glance.
Li Mu smiled.
That was also what he wanted.
“Now that the three Holy Sages have been killed, let’s take advantage of this opportunity to charge to the nest of the Three Divine Sects and wipe them out, so that we can eliminate the tumor on the Ghost Rally Star. From now on, we will share the place of reincarnation among all ghost cultivators,” Li Mu encouraged.
Hearing this, all the ghost cultivators became thrilled.
“It’s your call, Big Brother.”
Caicai, the ponytailed girl, was standing beside Li Mu. She was as obedient as a cute little white bunny. Now, it was hard to associate her with the girl carrying a sword and a broadsword who was extremely arrogant and frigidly in the face of the three Holy Sages.
Since the war had ended, the four of them had a lot to catch up on.
Right at this moment, Li Mu’s countenance changed, and his eyes swiftly flickered at Ghost Seer, who had been arrested and stationed on the side.
A look of horror suddenly appeared on the latter’s face.
He gawked at Li Mu. But before he could yell for help, his ghost body suddenly turned blurry and began to fade as if the smoke in the wind.
“You’ve ruined my plans. You and all your kins should be put to death!”
A cutting voice rang out without warning from the body of Ghost Seer that was fading away.
“Why didn’t you run away?”
Shan Jian, the sixth son of the Shan family, looked at Shan Tian with mixed feelings.
At this time, the High Mountain had slowly sailed to the number one dock on the Opposite Bank Star and was being anchored in the harbor. Compared with the usually hustle and bustle days, the number one dock seemed a little quiet today. There were solemn-looking cultivators and soldiers on guard all around as if they were prepared to face a formidable enemy, which made the atmosphere extremely tense.
Shan Tian stood on the deck of the High Mountain and heaved with a sigh.
“Thank you, Sixth Brother. I appreciate your kindness, but I still have my reason to stay.”
He patted the shoulder of his brother, who he rarely communicated with in daily life.
If it weren’t for the fact that Shan Jian deliberately went easy on them, how could the three undercover sentries whom he had caught heard so much information from the armored guards on the High Mountain?
It should be noted that the High Mountain was one of the flag ships of the Shan family, the most powerful family on the Opposite Bank Star. All the cultivators and armored guards on that ship were the best among elites. They were well-disciplined. So, how could they talk about the big events in the family in private? And how could they let the three imprisoned men overhear the conversation?
There was no doubt that Shan Jian, his sixth brother, had intentionally used the armored guards to inform Shan Tian of the situation.
On the way back, the security on the High Mountain looked tight on the outside but was actually loose on the inside. There were countless opportunities for Shan Tian to escape.
In fact, Shan Jian was spoon-feeding his third elder brother with the chance to escape.
