The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 762 - Are You in the Soldier Realm?

Chapter 762 Are You in the Soldier Realm?

The young emperor had never expected that the Imperial Preceptor that he relied on would be as vulnerable as a baby in front of Li Mu.
As the Imperial Preceptor struggled, he opened his mouth and spat out a blood arrow that contained vicious power.
This means of stealthy attack used to work well and had never failed before. However, it didn’t work on Li Mu at all. The blood arrow whooshed by him and dropped to the ground limply.
“Great Sorrow Heavenly Demon.”
The Imperial Preceptor roared furiously.
Behind him, a dark abyss appeared, and a giant heavenly demon repulsive in appearance crawled out of the abyss. In an instant, the shrill cries and howls of ghosts and monsters rang out at the door and echoed through the entire conference hall as if demons had come to the world.
“Kill him...” the Imperial Preceptor pointed at Li Mu.
Li Mu blew at him.
“Puff...”
The dark abyss and the giant heavenly demon instantly disappeared without a trace like blue smoke in the wind.
“What?”
The Imperial Preceptor was dumbfounded.
“What kind of power is that?”
“You... My Great Sorrow Heavenly Demon can fight with those who are in the Mortal Realm. Are you in the Soldier Realm?” The Imperial Preceptor looked at Li Mu in disbelief.
It had only been a few years since he entered the Void-breaking Realm. For him, the promotion from the Worm Realm to the Soldier Realm was just like a joke. He knew some things in the Star River. Ordinary practitioners in the Void-breaking Realm were in a difficult situation after entering the Star River. It was very difficult for them to take even a step forward unless they came across a great opportunity. Otherwise, they would live worse than slaves and beasts.
“Soldier Realm?” Li Mu asked expressionlessly.
It was a term that was used a long time ago.
“Did you secretly incite the emperor to great massacre?” Li Mu examined the Imperial Preceptor with his Third Eye and felt that this man was haunted by wronged spirits. He knew that the Imperial Preceptor must have cultivated some extremely vicious and evil skills, committed countless sins, taken the side of an evil sect, and killed many innocent people.
“No, no. I... Please let me go.” The Imperial Preceptor began to feel scared.
“You’ve only got yourself to blame.” Flames rose from Li Mu’s palm and directly ignited the bad karma within the Imperial Preceptor.
“Ah...”
A shrill cry echoed through the entire imperial palace of the Qin Empire.
Being burned by karmic fire was definitely the cruelest punishment in the world, feeling just like torture in hell. Even those in the King Realm could not bear it, let alone the Imperial Preceptor, who was just a practitioner in the Worm Realm.
“My... my mentor won’t...let you get away with it...”
The Imperial Preceptor stared viciously at Li Mu and put a curse on Li Mu before he died.
The karmic fire burned his soul, so his physical body remained intact after he died.
On that day when Li Mu killed Bai Bufu, he tortured and punished Bai Bufu with karmic fire before he beheaded the latter.
Qin Zheng, the emperor of the Qin Empire, stood in the conference hall, looking deathly pale, trembling, and sweating profusely.
“How could it be?
“He... How could he be so powerful?
“He is like a Celestial Demon.
“How could a human being possess such power?
“Is this the power of someone in the Soldier Realm mentioned by the Imperial Preceptor?”
The young emperor was full of regret.
He had bet on the wrong horse.
“I’ve already given you a chance.” Li Mu flicked his finger.
A streak of white broadsword light directly slashed at the forehead of Qin Zheng, the emperor of the Qin Empire.
“Ah...” the emperor screamed in terror.
However, he soon found that he was not dead, but just... a little weak. The natural qi in his body had been smashed by the invisible broadsword light.
“I have destroyed your cultivation achievements and imperial aura. From now on, the Empire of the Great Qin Dynasty no longer belongs to you,” Li Mu said in an unquestionable manner, “you brought it upon yourself.”
“I... No, Your Honor... Mr. Li...” When Qin Zheng heard Li Mu’s words, he looked as if he had lost his soul. He scrambled out of the conference hall. He wanted to crawl to Li Mu’s feet and beg for mercy by saying, “I was wrong. I was instigated by the Imperial Preceptor. Your Honor... honorable master of martial arts, please spare me this time.”
However, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t get close to Li Mu. He was always somewhere over ten meters away from Li Mu.
“You can’t stick to your original intention. Your ruling the empire is not a blessing for its people,” Li Mu shook his head and said, “it’s a pity that your sister didn’t make you see how to be a good emperor when she taught you how to become an emperor.”
After saying that, Li Mu turned around and left.
“No ...” Qin Zheng’s desperate roar rang out behind Li Mu.
Outside the Imperial Palace.
Xu Sheng had been waiting for Li Mu at the entrance to the Imperial Palace. Seeing Li Mu coming out, he walked up to Li Mu and said, “The Army Headquarters has issued an urgent order to recall the troops of the Qin Empire from the ten cities and nine regions. The war is suspended... How is the emperor of the Qin Empire?”
Li Mu answered, “He’s not dead.”
Xu Sheng let out a sigh.
Back then, he also thought very highly of this young emperor.
However, nobody had expected that the emperor of the Qin Empire would have become so despicable in just a few years. It was not wrong for him to unify the Heavenly Land, but he was dead set on becoming the ruler of everything and he even began to take actions against Taibai City secretly in an extremely cruel and unscrupulous way.
After a moment of silence, Li Mu asked, “Where is the imperial princess?”
Xu Sheng said, “I’ve already found out her whereabouts. She’s in the Cold Mountain Temple outside the capital of the Qin Dynasty.”
“Cold Mountain Temple?”
Li Mu said, “Well, you should go to the ten cities and nine regions to rescue the emperor of the Great Moon Empire and Li Anzhi—the little princess from the camp of the Qin Empire’s troops. I’ll go and see the princess.”
“Are the emperor and princess of the Great Moon Empire in the camp of the Qin Empire’s troops?” Xu Sheng said, “Okay, I’m going there right now.”
The Cold Mountain Temple outside the capital of the Qin Dynasty was an imperial temple of the Western Qin Empire in the past.
Inner courtyard.
Numerous stone pagodas were standing below a 100-meter-tall statue of Buddha situated on a hillside.
Below the Buddha statue’s feet was a small square.
There were lush green pines and cypresses around the small square.
A girl with a beautiful, slim figure that her white robe couldn’t hide was sitting in front of the Buddha statue’s feet and beating the wooden fish regularly. The regular beats of the wooden fish revealed its master’s mental state of serenity.
Two pretty little nuns wearing the same robes, who were only fourteen or fifteen years old, stood quietly on both sides with the same sad look on their faces, not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, a white-robe figure appeared in the void.
In a flash, the white-robed young man came to the point only about ten meters away from the two little nuns.
“Who are you?”
“Protect Her Highness the imperial princess.”
The two little nuns looked pretty and harmless, but they gave off the aura of practitioners in the Semi-Sage Realm.
Obviously, they were two little masters—at least the little masters in this world.
“Your Highness,” Li Mu greeted.
The white-robed girl suddenly shuddered. She lost the rhythm and stopped beating the wooden fish.
“You can leave now.” A crisp, pleasing voice tinged with a touch of tiredness rang out. It sounded familiar to Li Mu.
“Your Highness, this...” The two nuns hesitated.
The white-robed girl stood up and turned around. Under the small white hat was a breathtakingly beautiful face. Her skin was flawless and as tender as white jade. She had an elegant and noble aura that was unique to those in power and extremely rare among ordinary people.
On the Earth, there was an unpleasant saying that went, “If you want to be pretty, you have to foster filial piety.”
White could make women look more beautiful.
Qin Zhen, the imperial princess, was wearing a white robe and a white round hat, which gave her a dazzling look.
“Here you are.” Obviously, the imperial princess was not surprised at Li Mu’s visit. She asked, “Have you been to the Imperial Palace?”
Li Mu nodded.
“How is he?” The imperial princess asked, her eyes flashing worriedly.
The siblings were connected by the heart.
In ten cities and nine regions.
In the main camp of the Qin Empire’s troops.
“How dare you disobey the imperial order?” Xu Sheng glared at the commander in charge of the troops, holding the document of military order marked with the imperial jade seal.
The air was filled with smoke. The war was still going on.
Obviously, the urgent military order issued from the capital of the Qin Dynasty failed to restrict the general of the Qin Empire’s troops at the frontline.
A handsome young man with a malicious face was sitting in a chair under the canopy. The chair was supposed to be the chief commander’s seat. The young man leaned back in the chair, looked at Xu Sheng with a faint smile on his face, and then said, “A general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign.”
“Who are you? Where is Lu Ge, the chief commander of the Qin Empire’s troops?” Xu Sheng frowned.
“In such a place bound by strict military discipline, the position of the Commander in Chief is taken by an outsider who is not in the army. What the hell is going on?”
“Oh, do you mean that stubborn old man who claims himself to be patriotic and loyal to His Majesty?” The young man smiled and said contemptuously, “He was disobedient, so he was stabbed about ten times by someone. He should be dead now.”
“What?” Xu Sheng’s face changed drastically.
“Has there been a military coup?”
