The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 863 - The Large White Millstone

Chapter 863 The Large White Millstone

Yu Jingfeng didn’t chase after Li Mu.
He was gasping for air and suffering from shock after Li Mu’s storm-like broadsword attack. Just now, he felt suffocated amidst the light of the broadsword.
While panting heavily, he gradually calmed down.
He was not worried that Li Mu would have escaped.
After all, this place was the Temple of Blood.
It was a place designed and created by the Wind Clan through painstaking efforts.
Only the people of the Wind Clan knew the secrets about this place.
“He-he, you can’t escape.”
Looking at the dust in the distance, Yu Jingfeng sneered and sent a message.
“Something’s not right. What the hell is this place? Why am I still in this hall after smashing through so many walls and travelling at least ten thousand meters?”
Li Mu got very anxious.
His bronze chariot had barged through more than ten walls, but he was still in the gloomy and bloody hall. The light inside was dim, and he couldn’t see any light outside the hall.
The space inside was filled with smoke and dust.
The pungent smell of blood pervaded the air.

This hall seemed to be composed of countless secret rooms that were connected with one another, and staying in it made people feel despair.
Li Mu’s eyes fell on the half-dead young man he had rescued. He activated his natural qi and injected it into the body of the young man to heal the latter’s injury.
He could tell that the young man was not a member of an immortal sect at first, but an ordinary mortal practitioner with ordinary power. He believed that, according to what the Immortal Taoist once said, the young man must be a lucky mortal who got an opportunity and was accepted by some immortal sect at the Immortal-Devil Assembly that day.
However, the young man had never expected that the path to the immortal world would be so long and so hard. A couple of days ago, he was wild with excitement, but now, he was seriously injured and dying.
A few moments later...
“Ah...”
The young man cried out in pain as he slowly woke up.
He was just physically injured, so he recovered from injury quickly after Li Mu treated his injury and removed the iron hooks that penetrated his scapulae.
“Ah, are you... Master Li?” The young man opened his eyes and saw Li Mu. He froze for a while, recognized Li Mu, and then suddenly remembered something. Great fear seized him, and he started trembling, saying, “Master Li, hurry up and leave...”
“Calm down. Relax.” Li Mu comforted him. “What’s going on?”
“People are dead. They are all dead... Boohoo-hoo.” The young man looked agitated and cried out like a frightened child. “They are all liars. We... they are all dead. Boohoo, they died so miserably. They used us as raw materials.”
“Don’t get so worked up. Take your time and tell me what happened.”
Li Mu released his Divine Consciousness to help the young man calm down.
It was clear that the young man had experienced some kind of unimaginable great fear that made him lose his mind and drove him to the verge of a nervous breakdown. Now, he was a little incoherent, mentally unstable, and unable to express himself.
Li Mu comforted him for a while, and he gradually came to his senses and calmed down.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m right here. What on earth happened?” Li Mu asked.
He had to find out what the people of the Wind Clan were doing here.
Then, he could come up with a solution.
“Mr. Li, the people of the Wind Clan tricked us into this place. They said they would teach us some immortal kills and let us look for opportunities and treasures in the immortal palace. However, it turned out that they were just using us as sacrifices. They killed several hundred people, including the young and the old, men and women...”
The young man still looked frightened.
As he finished speaking, his body started trembling violently once again, and his eyes were full of fear and anger.
Li Mu, however, roughly understood what happened.
“Why do they use living people as sacrifices?
“Moreover, Yu Jingfeng has tortured this young man with very cruel means. I’m afraid that the Wind Clan’s way of offering sacrifice was extremely evil.
“The flowing blood and the pungent smell of blood in this gloomy hall originate from their evil means.
“Are the people of the Wind Clan out of their minds?
“The people of the six major Divine Clans of the Celestial Court have a very strong sense of pride and superiority and never take living mortals seriously, but they would never do something as cruel and evil as killing living beings.
“This is one of the heaven rules.
“Have the people of the Wind Clan been seized by devils?”
Li Mu frowned.
His discovery of the secret undoubtedly made his “dangerous” situation “extremely dangerous”.
The people of the Wind Clan had done such things in violation of the heaven rules in secret, so they undoubtedly didn’t want others to know about those things. Unfortunately, however, their secret was discovered by Li Mu.
Even if there was no grudge between them and Li Mu, they would want to kill him so that the secret would not be revealed. Furthermore, the two sides had already become irreconcilable enemies.
“What should I do now?”
Li Mu believed that the Wind Clan had dispatched all their forces to hunt him down.
Boom!
His bronze war chariot moved as fast as lightning and smashed numerous walls.
He was still escaping desperately.
However, the only thing on the other side of the walls was always darkness.
There would always be another hall at the end of one hall.
Li Mu saw bloody scenes repeatedly and felt as if the bronze chariot had crashed into mirrors instead of real walls.
“Something’s wrong. It seems to be some kind of tactical deployment or an illusion! If I were to keep going like this, I would never get out of here no matter how hard and how long I try.”
Li Mu’s mind was racing.
He performed the Xiantian Skill, opened his Third Eye with a swirling nebula deep in the pupil, gave full play to the power of his Eye of Flaws, and surveyed the surroundings.
Finally, he found a flaw.
Boom!
“Over there.”
He murmured to himself.
He drove the bronze chariot to break through another wall. After that, what he saw was no longer darkness, but light. The rays of light poured in like torrents sweeping down a mountain.
He finally got out of the ghastly, bloody, and terrifying hall.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in the next moment, his face changed.
“What is that?”
He saw a strange white building that was over twenty meters high in front of him.
On close inspection, this building looked like a large millstone consisting of two round plates, each of which was about ten meters thick. The two plates were rotating slowly in opposite directions.
The place where Li Mu was standing was like a courtyard patio. The giant double-plate white millstone was surrounded by black walls of the temple.
Rumble!
The two large plates of the millstone were rotating slowly and rumbling like deep thunders.
At the bottom of the millstone, there were eight small faucet-like gears in the shape of black dragons holding pearls in their mouths.
The black dragonheads looked ferocious, and the dragons’ mouths were open.
Gurgle!
Thick, sticky blood spurted out from the dragons’ mouths like red spring water.
There were eight round pools with a diameter of about two meters below the dragons’ mouths.
The pools were full of blood. As they received more blood from the dragons’ mouths, they overflowed, and blood flowed along the ditches around them.
The ditches were interconnected and distributed all over the ground of the entire patio, spreading in all directions and looking like a spider web covering the ground. Blood trickled along the ditches and flowed into the dark temple around them.
“This is a slaughterhouse... Ah, ah, ah!”
The young man rescued by Li Mu stared at the giant white millstone and screamed in horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Li Mu was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed.
Numerous shadows silently appeared and surrounded him.
They were all top masters of the Wind Clan.
Yu Jingfeng, the so-called peerless genius of the Wind Clan, was one of them.
The unfathomably powerful lord of the Wind Clan was also among them.
Several elders of the Wind Clan, who were masters in the Deity Realm, showed up as well.
“Li Mu,” Yu Jingfeng said with a sarcastic look on his face. “He-he, you’re really bringing ruin upon yourself. We decided not to deal with you for the moment, but... He-he, you are courting death, so you can’t blame others.”
Li Mu thought for a moment and then said, “Do you want to break your promise? Don’t forget that we have agreed to fight a duel after three years. If you were to kill me now, you would breach the agreement.”
Yu Jingfeng roared with laughter. “Ha-ha, you’re so stupid. Do you think you can make me let you off by playing such a lame trick? Are you an idiot?”
“Don’t stop. Continue with the sacrificial ritual. Once it starts, you must not stop it!” The lord of the Wind Clan said.
Suddenly, the familiar sound of iron hooks dragging on the ground came from the distance. Amidst miserable cries for mercy and shrill screams, three disciples of the Wind Clan drew close, dragging three mortal practitioners whose scapulae were pierced through by iron hooks...
“No!”
The young man next to Li Mu roared in despair.
He found that the three mortal practitioners dragged here were his master, his master’s wife, and his junior sister apprentice, who had been tortured beyond recognition, half dead.
“Mr. Li... please help...” he implored.
Li Mu’s face suddenly darkened when he saw what was happening.
He wanted to save them.
However, as soon as he moved, the masters of the Wind Clan in the Deity Realm immediately locked him down with their Qi. The overwhelming, irresistible force exerted on his body made it very difficult for him to move, let alone save people.
“No...”
The young man howled in despair and grief.
He helplessly watched his three relatives being dragged to the edge of the giant white millstone.
The other masters of the Wind Clan cast their spells and used their magical power to make the upper plate of the giant rise slowly. Then, they threw the three mortal practitioners onto the lower plate. The upper plate slowly fell down and crushed the three practitioners into mincemeat before they could even scream.
“You ruthless bastards!”
Li Mu cursed loudly.
Yu Jingfeng laughed wildly.
Rumble!
The giant millstone began to rotate.
The three mortal practitioners were instantly crushed into a bloody paste by the plates of the giant millstone. As the millstone rotated, the bloody paste turned into bloody liquid, which flowed out of the black dragons’ mouths at the bottom of the millstone and poured into the blood pools below it!
Li Mu suddenly understood that the blood in the hall and the red liquid in the round pools were all made in this way.
“The Wind Clan has probably killed no less than one hundred mortal practitioners in this way. That’s why there is so much blood that turns this hall into a hell full of the pungent smell of blood.
“No wonder this young man was so scared.
“This way of dying is so terrifying.”
“Li Mu, you have only your fate to blame. You’ve run across something that you shouldn’t know. Today, even if your master were here, he would not be able to save you,” said the lord of the Wind Clan.
