Chapter 618 - Vanquishing the Gold Sun Sect

Chapter 618 Vanquishing the Gold Sun Sect

Although the Gold Sun Sect wasn’t considered a super sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, it was still one of the powerful sects. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have their own planet and vassal citizens, nor would they have an interstellar posthouse run solely by themselves.

The Gold Sun Star was named after the Gold Sun Sect. It was a second-class star in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, only inferior to the first-class stars. It had a vast continent, which was the home to tens of millions of creatures. All the major species could be found there. The creatures on this planet had thoroughly become part of the interstellar martial arts civilization.

Four hours later, after taking several teleportation tactical deployments, Li Mu finally traveled from Star Wind City to Gold Sun City, which was located on the Gold Sun Star.

The interstellar travel, which only existed in science fiction on Earth, had long been realized by the martial arts civilization.

The Gold Sun Warlord, an elder of the Gold Sun Sect, did not live in Gold Sun City. But because he had provoked Li Mu on the Immortal Net and audaciously disclosed his real identity, he was sort of on edge these days. Feeling unsafe out there, he quickly went back to Gold Sun City and took shelter in the nest of the Gold Sun Sect. After all, the Gold Sun City was the territory that the Gold Sun Sect had ruled for tens of thousands of years, so he believed his safety could be guaranteed there.

Li Mu followed that elder all the way to this city.

He stood in the void above the Gold Sun City, overlooking the grand city that had a history of more than 10,000 years.

The city was unparalleled. It was as majestic as a mountain.

The cities built by the interstellar martial arts civilization were really breath-taking.

Mountains were floating in the sky. High-rise buildings were emitting the fragrance of nature. Houses could be found on trees that were10,000-meter-high. Flying Shuttles came and go. The space between heaven and earth had been divided into different zones. The upper zone was bathed in sunshine and abundant in Spiritual Qi, which was the residence of the first-tier cultivators. The lower zone was dark and damp, which was the lodging place of the lower-tier cultivators. The class barriers were more solid. Compared with the cities on Earth and on the Divine Land, this metropolis in the universe was more three-dimensional.

The Gold Sun Sect had occupied the best lands in this city.

On this planet, the Gold Sun Sect was the supreme ruler. Any clans and cultivators living on this planet had to abide by the rules set up by the Gold Sun Sect.

“The first... is on.”

The corners of Li Mu’s mouth curled into a smirk.

Jin Yuanyi, the elder of the Gold Sun Sect, was enjoying the dance over some fine wine in a splendid hall on a green mountain thousands of meters away above the ground.

In the hall, graceful dancers were dancing to the beautiful music produced by skilled musicians. The dancing girls posed all kinds of enchanting postures. Their skin was snow-white. Their bare feet looked as impeccable as jade. Their bodies were curvy and slender. The dresses they wore were as thin as gauze. A sweet aura was circulating in the hall. Upon a closer look, these dancers were all Worm Realm cultivators. They were young, beautiful, elegant, just like a group of Virgin Goddesses.

Jin Yuanyi’s face was gloomy. He was a man who appeared to be in his forties. He was holding a cup of wine and sipping it with narrowed eyes. His expression was uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The ones accompanying Jin Yuanyi on the side were two low-level presbyters of the Gold Sun Sect, who were comforting him with smiles on their faces.

“Haha, Elder Jin, you have nothing to worry about. That Li Mu is just a little boy. He is still wet behind the ears. It was only by a fluke that he defeated that under-age hellish three-headed dog. I guess he must have used some kind of secret maneuver. It’s still uncertain whether he’s in a good condition or not. So, how dare he come to our Gold Sun Star to make trouble?” A short and skinny low-level presbyter raised his cup to toast him.

The other low-level presbyter, who was bald and burly, echoed in a muffled voice, “Exactly. Elder Jin, our Gold Sun City is impregnable. Who dares to make trouble here? If that Li Mu really has no sense and comes here, I, Liu Yi, am willing to be your vanguard and capture that brat alive to let you vent your spleen.”

In the hall, some of Jin Yuanyi’s disciples were also present. At those words, they all cheered to boast their master’s spirits.

“Master, don’t worry. If that inhuman beast dares to come, I will definitely fight him to death.”

“Whoever dares to go against our master is our enemy.”

“That’s right. I’m willing to shed my blood to defend Master’s dignity.”

This group of disciples was from various age brackets. But all of them welled up with righteous indignation and declared their determination to fight to the death for Jin Yuanyi. They were all willing to risk their lives for him without hesitating in the slightest.

Jin Yuanyi nodded and felt more relieved.

Curiously, since that morning, his right eyelid had kept twitching, and his heart had been pounding with anxiety. This was obviously a sense of foreboding. He tried to figure out what it was by divination. Yet, that effort was fruitless. Thus, he started to feel a little uneasy. But after being comforted and encouraged by his league, he felt much more relaxed.

He said in a booming voice, “I’m not at all afraid that Li Mu would come and attack me. What I’m worried about is that that beast who has already killed countless people would stir up trouble in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region while no one could put a stop to it. In that case, he would absolutely bring about greater disaster in the future. When that time comes, all the creatures in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region will suffer, and the universe will be dyed red by the blood of the innocent. That would be just tragic.”

“Master, you’re so compassionate.”

“Master is devoted to the well-being of the cultivators in the universe. It’s their blessing.”

“Elder Jin is truly full of compassion for heaven and earth.”

There came another round of flattery.

Jin Yuanyi leered. Then, he grabbed the hand of the most beautiful young dancer who was also the one with the highest cultivation on the dance floor and flung her into his arms, ravishing her. Meanwhile, he said, “For that reason, I really hope that Li Mu will come to the Gold Sun Star, so that I can take him down for good with the tactical deployment we’ve inherited from our predecessors. This way, I’d be able to help the people get rid of the evil. To tell the truth, I would be flustered if he didn’t come...”

Before his voice had died away—

“Jin Yuanyi, get your sorry ass here.”

A voice as formidable as a thunderclap penetrated the clouds and struck the hall from outside Gold Sun City, causing the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth to surge like rolling waves.

“Huh?”

At once, the expressions of the people in the hall altered drastically.

The cup in Jin Yuanyi’s hand fell to the ground with a thud, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

A hubbub of voices broke out in Gold Sun City.

“Who the hell are you? How dare you make a scene outside Gold Sun City?”

“How audacious!”

“Law Enforcement Unit, go and check it out.”

Other experts, elders, and leaders of the Gold Sun Sect had come to their senses. Scandalized, they spoke up against the intruder.

After all, over those years, few dared to insult the Gold Sun Sect like this. But this day, a man shouted outside the city and intended to break in. At this, the entire Gold Sun Sect burst into an uproar like angry sparrows who just found that their nest had been destroyed.

However—

“Li Mu the Wild Broadsword has come to settle accounts with Jin Yuanyi. Other unrelated people, get out of here if you don’t want to die.”

The thunderous voice rumbled again.

Then, those who had spoken up earlier immediately dived for cover.

The Law Enforcement Unit that was on the way to catch the wrongdoer outside the city immediately retreated when they heard that remark. In particular, the leading elders of the Gold Sun Sect were so scared that their faces turned pale.

They were this close to bumping into Death.

Li Mu was not someone they could afford to upset.

In the hall, Jin Yuanyi’s countenance instantly changed.

It was really Li Mu.

He really came.

A kind of unspeakable panic stole him despite himself.

“Oh, my... stomach hurts. It seems that the sequelae caused by that Qi Deviation a few years ago has come back again. It’s killing me...” The short and skinny low-level presbyter suddenly stood up, covered his stomach with both hands, and turned to leave. “Elder Jin, I need to go and heal myself first. I’ll come to visit next time.”

Jin Yuanyi was taken aback.

The bald man who vowed that he would take the lead to kill Li Mu abruptly got to his feet and said, “It suddenly occurred to me that today is the anniversary of my master’s death. He has been gone for 3000 years. So, today is not a good day to drink. Elder Jin, I’ll go back to pay my respects to my master first. Let’s have drinks another day.”

With that, he left without looking back.

Jin Yuanyi was so furious that he was shaking from head to toe. He shoved the dancer in his arms to the side and rose to his feet. Even his hands were trembling with rage.

Only a moment ago, those people were still fawning on him. But the next moment, they turned tail and fled faster than anyone.

He then looked at his disciples.

“Master, I also have to be somewhere else.”

“Head of Sect just sent me a message and asked me to meet him...”

“I’m leaving.”

“My strength is too low to be of any help to Master. I feel so ashamed, so I’m going to shut myself in a room and repent.”

With an awkward look on their faces, the disciples all began to find excuses for their leave.

Jin Yuanyi’s face turned pale with anger.

“What the heck is happening?

“Just for one remark Li Mu made, my followers have immediately decided to desert me?”

Right at this moment—

“Kaboom!”

The defensive tactic deployment of the Gold Sun City was bombarded.

The terrifying blast shook the entire city as if a heavenly tribulation had descended.

Every cultivator clearly sensed that the Spiritual Qi inside the protective cover generated by the tactical deployment began to surge like boiling water.

Many floating mountains, islands, and buildings began to shake precariously with loud noises.

The terrifying power was suffocating.

Countless cultivators in the city saw with their widened eyes that a tiny figure was standing in the sky outside of the golden cover consist of Taoist patterns. That figure was so remote that he looked like a black dot. He was standing against the light, throwing one punch after another on the defensive tactic deployment of the Gold Sun City.

Every time he packed a punch, the Spiritual Qi inside the defensive tactic deployment surged more fiercely.

This was a scene hard to imagine. Compared with the defensive tactic deployment, that figure was like a small grain of sand in front of a 10,000-meter-high mountain, whereas, his strength had shaken the whole city.

When the sixth punch was out, the most shocking scene occurred under the gazes of all the cultivators.

The Gold Dragon Backlight Deployment, which had protected the Gold Sun Sect for thousands of years, suddenly cracked. The crack then spread rapidly. Before the cultivators could come to their senses, the chains of Taoist patterns inside the golden cover broke inch by inch. Then, the whole tactic deployment completely fell apart like an eggshell being smashed with a hammer. The fragments of the gold cover fell from the sky but disappeared in the air before they hit the ground.

The tactic deployment had been destroyed!

At this moment, all the cultivators were stunned.

Li Mu directly entered Gold Sun City. He glared about with fierce hostility and shouted, “Jin Yuanyi, weren’t you very gusty on the immortal net? Now that I’m here, why haven’t you come out to face me yet?”

He barged into all kinds of places looking for Jin Yuanyi, and nobody dared to stop him.

The disciples, elders, and hall masters of the Gold Sun Sect nearby were all too scared to show their faces and stop him. They just hid in their own small territories and shivered with fear.

The head of the Gold Sun Sect had been hacked to death by Li Mu in the battle in the Tomb of the God of Sin on the Divine Land. A few days ago, an elder in charge of the Star Posthouse in Gold Town had also died in Li Mu’s hands. In theory, the members of the Gold Sun Sect must have a huge feud with Li Mu.

However, shouldn’t one’s life outweigh the need for revenge?

Now that the defensive tactic deployment of their base had been wrecked, people no longer doubted if Li Mu only defeated the hellish three-headed dog by luck. Because when the Gold Dragon Backlight Deployment was established, it was said to be strong enough to resist a head-on attack from a General Realm cultivator. But now, it had been shattered by the fists of Li Mu the Wild Broadsword. All the members of the Gold Sun Sect asked themselves if they could do that. The answer was negative. Thus, they knew that none of them was a match for Li Mu.

Anyway, Li Mu was here for Jin Yuanyi.

They did not care about the lives of their fellows. It would be fine as long as they themselves were not under threat.

The solidarity of the Gold Sun Sect was certainly not as firm as a rock.

Soon, Li Mu randomly caught a few disciples of the Gold Sun Sect and learned about the mountain Jin Yuanyi was staying in from their mouths. Then, without further ado, Li Mu went straight to Jin Yuanyi’s place.

“Kaboom!”

He landed outside the hall and approached the gate step by step.

“Jin Yuanyi, come out and face your doom,” Li Mu roared with an air of majesty.

Jin Yuanyi came out with a desperate and insidious look on his face.

His hands were stained with blood, for he had killed all the disciples who attempted to betray him.

Staring at Li Mu with a flicker in his eyes, Jin Yuanyi gritted his teeth and said, “Li Mu, you’ve killed several of my fellow disciples in a roll and also murdered the head of our sect. Are you really determined to wipe us out?”

Li Mu didn’t want to waste time arguing. He directly charged over and knocked Jin Yuanyi onto the ground with a punch.

“Just like you, they asked for their doom. I’m not the one to blame.”

Li Mu flung a wisp of Broadsword Intent at Jin Yuanyi, who was instantly reduced to ash.

This man had given a full display of his dark side on the Immortal Net. He was purely evil and spiteful. If Li Mu didn’t have such strong strength, he would definitely have fallen victim to Jin Yuanyi’s plot. In the face of this kind of man, Li Mu would never show mercy.

Li Mu also recorded the whole thing with the Water Mirror Technique.

After that, Li Mu directly attacked the main hall of the Gold Sun Sect, forcing the temporary head of the Gold Sun Sect and other elders to come forward to apologize and offer him many treasures and resources. It was not until then that Li Mu finally decided to end the game.

“Don’t think I’ve gone too far this time. It was you who indulged Jin Yuanyi and let him frame me. If you had a little bit of sense of justice and conscience, you would have stepped up and stopped him a long time ago. Everyone should pay for their action as well as their inaction. What I did to you today is merely a warning. You’d better learn the lesson. If you feel wronged, feel free to come and retaliate against me at any time. I’ll sit in my place and wait for you to come.”

With that, Li Mu shot to the air and departed.

He was already heading for the next target—the Divine Force Sect.
