The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 641 - Making the Decision

Chapter 641 Making the Decision

In the end, Dao Lan gritted his teeth and took out his own feather shield that he carried everywhere with him and handed it to Shan Xuan’er.
“You’re showing a bit sincerity this time.”
Shan Tian snorted.
This feather shield was Dao Lan’s favorite item back then. It was passed onto him by Dao Lan’s master, and its grade was extremely high. It was indeed a rare treasure.
However, Shan Tian didn’t let his daughter take this treasure. Instead, he seized it and threw it back to Dao Lan and declared, “Well, this thing is too precious. Keep it for yourself. I don’t want to take advantage of you… If you really want to show your kindness, just treat my sister well in the days to come. Otherwise, I wouldn’t just punish you by breaking your legs.”
Dao Lan became serious, which was rare for him. He said, “You don’t have to say that. This time, even if I die, I will never let Yunxiu leave me again.”
Shan Yunxiu’s face blushed beautifully. She said, “Don’t vow with your life so frequently. Can’t you just speak like a normal person?”
Dao Lan laughed.
“Uncle, you look very handsome when you smile,” Shan Xuan’er said out of the blue.
On the side, Shan Tian’s wife, Liu Weiyuan, also noticed that when this young Taoist became serious, there was a particularly sincere warmth in his smile.
Shan Tian looked at his sister and then at Dao Lan, and felt a little relieved.
After so many years, his sister could finally see the happy ending lying ahead of her. Finally, the day she had looked forward to had come. That night, when Shan Tian saw his sister become devastated because her love didn’t come even though she had waited under the cold moon tree for a long time, he wished he could slice Dao Lan, the heartbreaker, to death bit by bit. But after so many years, his anger gradually subsided. The most important thing was that Dao Lan did not forget their love. It was said that later, he was chased to a desolate inferior world and suffered a lot. But as soon as he got back to this world, he hurried back to see Shan Yunxiu. It could be said that he had demonstrated his good faith.
Of course, more importantly, Shan Tian could tell that his sister still had feelings for this man.
Shan Tian could never ever hurt anything that his sister liked.
This was the most fundamental principle in his life.
“You guys pack up your things. In two hours, Dao Lan, you can take my sister and leave the Opposite Bank Star,” said Shan Tian.
“So soon?” Shan Yunxiu was shocked.
A look of surprise also appeared on Dao Lan’s face.
Shan Tian said, “Even though a tree wants to stay quiet, the wind wouldn’t let it be. The undercurrents on the Opposite Bank Star are surging. Now you two are finally back together, do cherish it. If you don’t leave, I’m afraid that trouble will find you again.”
Shan Yunxiu looked at her younger brother. At this time, she found that there was tiredness on his face and a trace of seriousness in his eyes. Others might not have noticed, but she had grown up with him. Every time her younger brother encountered something big, He would look like this. She was too happy just now and did not notice it. At this time, after careful observation, she knew that something big had happened.
“What’s going on?” Shan Yunxiu said, “Little brother, make it clear, or I won’t leave.”
Dao Lan also said, “We’re a family now. Brother-in-law, if there’s any trouble, just tell me. I’ll be frank with you. I’m very strong now. If there’s anyone you can’t deal with, I’ll take him down for you.”
Shan Tian speechlessly glanced at this, cheap, unreliable brother-in-law and said, “It’s not a big deal. I can solve it by myself.”
“Do you know? Little brother, you’ve never been a good liar since you were a child.” Shan Yunxiu looked at him, firm and stubborn.
An idea flashed through his mind, and he was thinking about what to say.
“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, Big Sister.” Shan Jian came from the corner of the garden in the distance. His blood-red armor and the blood-red cloak made no noise. A scorching aura was flowing around him.
Shan Tian frowned and asked, “What are you doing here?”
With a calm look on his face, Shan Jian said, “Don’t worry, Third Brother. I’ve just arrived, so I didn’t hear your previous conversation.”
He slowly walked over and greeted them, saying, “Father asked me to tell you that if Third Brother is willing to take Young Master Wei to find Li Mu, then he will no longer object to the marriage between Big Sister and Dao Lan. He will even be more than happy to make it happen.”
The expression on Shan Tian’s face suddenly altered.
What he was most worried about was that his family would take advantage of this matter and bargain with him.
Shan Jian added, “Third Brother, don’t blame our father. He has no intention to turn Big Sister’s marriage into a bargaining chip, either. But he has no other choice. Now, no one from our Shan family can get out of the Opposite Bank Star. Even if you help Big Sister and Taoist Dao Lan sneak out, they can’t escape from Young Master Wei’s spies. He knows everything about the Shan family, as well as you. Since Big Sister returned to the Opposite Bank Star, she has been under surveillance.”
Shan Tian let out a bitter laugh and then heaved with a long sigh.
He then recounted what had happened to Shan Yunxiu, Dao Lan, and his wife and daughter.
“Li Mu?” Dao Lan said in surprise, “I’ve seen him before. He is a real peerless genius from the Divine Land. But who would have thought he has come to the Opposite Bank Star?” The first thing Dao Lan did after he left the Divine Land was to rush to the Opposite Bank Star, so he still had no idea what had happened in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region recently.
And during the time Shan Yunxiu lived in the Bright Jade Temple, she was also cut off from the outside world, so she was also clueless about recent events.
Shan Jian then gave a detailed introduction of the turbulence Li Mu had stirred up in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
“He really turns out to be a…” After listening to Shan Jian’s introduction, Dao Lan didn’t know how to describe Li Mu. No matter where he went, he could make a big scene.
However, Shan Yunxiu sighed emotionally and said, “He is a real hero.”
Although she was a woman, she had a heart for gallantry.
Then, Shan Jian added, “Third Brother, I’m not going to try to bend your will. I’ll let you make your own decision.”
With that said, he spun around and left.
Shan Tian looked at the crowd and suddenly laughed heartily. “Let’s drop these troubling matters for a change. I go tell the servants to prepare a big feast. Sister, since you have left the Bright Jade Temple, you should simply stop being a nun and stay in the secular world. As your fate is not done with the secular world, just let it continue to run its course. Dao Lan, you should also accompany me to have a few drinks.”
“Father, I’ve already told him everything you asked me to say.” Shan Jian went back to answer to his father.
Shan Zhengfeng nodded.
In the past few days, he seemed to have aged for decades, and there was a look of fatigue in his eyes.
“If others later find that our family has stabbed Hero Li Mu, the Wild Broadsword, in the back, I’m afraid that the anger of the masses will be hard to deal with,” Shan Jian cautioned.
Shan Zhengfeng sighed and said, “How can I not know that?”
“Father, how about I recruit some interstellar sailors and force Third Brother’s trusted subordinates to lead the way for Young Master Wei? When the time comes, we can just put the blame on those people,” Shan Jian suggested tentatively. “It’s not necessary to ask Third Brother to lead the way in person. Considering his disposition, I’m afraid he would do something unexpected if we force him into this.”
Shan Zhengfeng flickered his eyes to his most trusted sixth son and shook his head, saying, “Young Master Wei has made it clear that your Third Brother must lead the way himself.”
Shan Jian frowned and asked, “Why?”
“No idea.” Shan Zhengfeng shook his head and knitted his brows in deep thinking. “My intuition has been telling me that this matter is more complicated than we’ve thought.”
Shan Jian said, “Father, who is this Young Master Wei anyway? Why are you so afraid of him?”
Shan Jian was the kind of man who always focused on fulfilling tasks instead of asking questions. Previously, Shan Zhengfeng had only vaguely revealed that Young Master Wei had an impressive background and could not be underestimated. With one word of his, he could take the lives of all members of the Shan family. But now, Shan Jian could no longer stay silent but ask more questions about this Young Master Wei.
Shan Zhengfeng said, “All I know is that he comes from a super big sect in the Ziwei Star Zone. Even Zhan Wuji, the All-devouring Demon, who is the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Devil Sect, obediently takes orders from him.”
The expression on Shan Jian’s face changed in an instant.
The Heavenly Devil Sect was now a super large sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. It was second to none, the indisputable top force. Zhan Wuji, the All-devouring Demon, was the former head of the Heavenly Devil Sect and the master of the current head of the Heavenly Devil Sect. He could be said to be one of the few standing on the top of the pyramid in the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region. But how could such a powerful man be so respectful to Young Master Wei?
On the Ghost Rally Star.
Time flew by.
The news about the result of the battle in the Bone Sacred Mountain quickly swept across the whole planet.
All the parties were astonished.
The Three Divine Sects, which had ruled this planet for tens of thousands of years, finally met their doom in this fashion. That was something that no ghost cultivators had seen coming.
While countless forces were still skeptical about the news, the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain led their 100,000 ghost cultivators to conquer the Three Divine Sects and destroyed the remaining force of the Three Divine Sects. They then took over the place of reincarnation and thoroughly ushered in a new era, where the Bone Sacred Mountain ruled the world of the Ghost Rally Star.
The old hegemon had collapsed.
The new emperor was in power.
The power structure of the Ghost Rally Star had been renovated.
In this ever-changing era of the Ghost Rally Star, Li Mu, who had been referred to as the “new emperor” by countless ghost cultivators, had not shown up in public.
He was refining weapons in that underground space in the depths of the mine of the Bone Sacred Mountain.
Time ticked by.
The hustle and bustle of the outside world gradually quieted down.
The combat strength of the 100,000 ghost cultivators under the command of the Bone Sacred Mountain had shocked the entire world. All the ghost forces that had tried to challenge the prestige of the Bone Sacred Mountain had been wiped out one by one. Each of the forces that refused to take orders from the Bone Sacred Mountain had also received punishment.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Caicai had quietly stayed in the underground space in the mine to accompany Li Mu as well as keep an eye out for danger.
Outside the Ghost Rally Star, in the outer space filled with Ghost Qi, Ding Yi was standing on the top of the giant, mountain-like meteorite with a worried look on his face.
“Sect Master has already gone there for more than 14 days, yet there is still no sign that he will come back.” Ding Yi was getting a little impatient.
A pink mini pig was lying on Ding Yi’s shoulder, snoring and sleeping soundly.
Ding Yi held the pig in his arms and looked even more concerned.
Who would have thought that the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice would become like this not long after he showed his true form? Had he returned to his youth?
Half a month had passed since the departure of Shan Tian’s Sword of Freedom. The supply left on the Cliff of the Living was about to run out. The main reason for that was that the mini pink pig the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice had become after he returned to his youth had a really big appetite… Ding Yi felt he was having a headache.
“Come to think of it, it’s about time for Shan Tian to come back.”
Distressed, Ding Yi sat at the bottom of a strange stone and moaned and groaned.
“Let’s sail out.”
On the Opposite Bank Star, on the Sword of Freedom, Captain Shan Tian gave the order in a low voice.
In the command cabin, Young Master Wei, who was dressed in black, was quietly seated in a chair next to Shan Tian. Beside his feet was an interstellar dog, who looked like a ghost.
The flying ship slowly pulled out of the dock and headed for the starry sky.
They were followed by another 10 flying ships.
Three of them were ships of the Shan family on the Opposite Bank Star, and the remaining seven were warships from large sects such as the Heavenly Devil Sect and the Tianyi Palace.

No one in the outside world could know what was happening here.
