Li Mu had seen too many high and mighty immortal forces, as well as too many examples of those who pursued the path of immortality without caring for others.
Even in the Ziwei Star Area, no, even on the Divine Land, there were many strong cultivators who would cut themselves off from the "mortals" after they improved their cultivation and pursue a life above the mortal world.
But in the sentry town where Li Mu was in contact with, as well as the generals of the Giant Spirit Army, it was the complete opposite.
In the sentry town, Qin Kongyu had his own family and children. After his shift, when he returned home, he would only have a few appetizers and a few pots of aged wine. He really did have the timidness of a wife and children. The other soldiers also had their own dao companions and families. They lived like mortals.
Now, in the Tiange Pass, the generals of the Giant Spirit Army were all experts in the Immortal Emperor or Sage Realm, but they were drinking and drinking, which gave Li Mu the illusion that he had returned to the mortal world, eating barbecue and drinking beer with a few friends.
This drinking session lasted the entire night.
Li Mu made a lot of friends.
The next morning, Li Mu and Qin Kongyu returned to the sentry post.
Before leaving, General Qin Han told Li Mu that in three days, he would take him to the center of the Heavenly Court to meet the Jade Emperor.
Li Mu agreed.
…
At the sentry post of the Southern Heaven Gate.
"Brother Li Mu, we all heard that you and my second brother tied. You are really good."
"Haha, you are praising your second brother, aren't you?"
"You are all good."
"Haha …"
Qin Ling 'er took Li Mu around the sentry town.
Li Mu's reputation had spread in the sentry town.
The fact that Li Mu was able to compete with Qinkongyu on an equal footing obviously made him famous all of a sudden.
"Uncle Mu, when I grow up, I want to be like you." The eight-year-old Qin Kezhen tugged at Li Mu's sleeve with a yearning look.
"Hee hee, me too, me too …"
The three-year-old Qin Kexuan rode on Li Mu's neck and laughed happily.
Life in the sentry town was quiet and warm.
Li Mu was also influenced by this atmosphere and somewhat envied this kind of life.
From what he had seen in the past few days, the Heavenly Court was undoubtedly a big family that people yearned for. It maintained order, peace, and stability.
In the long era of the future, the life that countless people pursued, yearned for, and dreamed of was the life in front of him, wasn't it?
What a pity.
Li Mu's heart shuddered at the thought of the scene of the Southern Heaven Gate's decline and the miserable massacre he witnessed.
For the time being, he couldn't be sure when the Heavenly Court started to decline.
He also couldn't be sure if the people in front of him were among the soldiers, old, young, women, and children who died in the Southern Heaven Gate.
But Li Mu knew that all this was unavoidable.
Li Mu held Qin Kezhen's hand and carried Qin Kexuan on his back, chatting and laughing with Qin Ling 'er along the way.
Suddenly —
Clang clang clang clang-!
A series of rapid chimes came from the South-Heaven Gate Hall.
Qin Ling'er was slightly stunned. "This is... a warning. Enemies are attacking the Southern Heavenly Gate?"
She was surprised.
After such a long time, someone actually dared to attack the Heavenly Court?
Li Mu's heart suddenly sank.
A bad premonition spread in the depths of his heart.
Rumble!
Rumbling sounds of energy could be heard from afar.
Dao laws surged.
In an instant, the entire sentry town began to tremble.
"Enemy attack."
"Activate the formation."
Sharp shouts could be heard from all directions.
The long period of peace didn't slow down the response of the soldiers in the sentry town. Soon, several layers of translucent shields rose around the sentry town, protecting the entire sentry town.
But the sounds of battle could still be heard from the South-Heaven Gate Hall.
It sounded like the scale of the battle wasn't small.
"Ling'er, hurry up and bring Kezhen and Kexuan back."
Li Mu stuffed the two children into Qin Ling'er's hands and said, "I'll go ahead and have a look."
He dashed towards the South-Heaven Gate Hall.
At this time, many young men in the sentry town had already entered a fighting state and were rushing towards the South-Heaven Gate Hall.
Li Mu took a few steps and suddenly stopped.
Because from the direction of the South-Heaven Gate Hall, there was a wave of darkness that covered half of the sky.
That was...
The black tide!
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
It was the black tide.
At this time, the black tide was coming.
Could it be...
The worst premonition in his heart was about to happen.
Li Mu turned into a stream of light and instantly arrived in front of the hall.
"Go, go, retreat."
Qin Kongyu's angry roar came from the front.
At a glance, Li Mu saw that the soldiers of the Heavenly Court were falling to the ground as if they were mowing grass.
Qin Kongyu led dozens of guards to defend but couldn't stop the black tide.
Amidst the black tide that was slowly surging over like a tsunami, many pitch-black figures wearing black armor continuously charged over like devils that had escaped from the opened gates of hell.
The one at the front was a tall demon holding a trident. Every time he swung the trident, dozens of Heavenly Court soldiers were sent flying.
Qin Kongyu fought with him, and after three moves, he was sent flying and spat out blood in midair.
"Die."
The trident demon leaped into the air and slashed at Qin Kongyu.
The others couldn't save him in time.
"My life is over."
Qin Kongyu closed his eyes.
Until now, he still couldn't figure out where the enemy came from. How could they be so terrifying?
Ding!
Sparks flew.
Qin Kongyu suddenly felt that his body was being lifted by a gentle force and thrown backward.
In his sight, he saw Li Mu holding a purple gold long knife rushing towards the black trident demon.
"Little brother, come back!"
He shouted.
Li Mu's strength was equal to his. Against the black trident demon, there was absolutely no chance of winning. It was too dangerous.
However, the next moment, Qin Kongyu, who was staggering on the ground, saw that Li Mu had chopped the trident in half with a wave of his broadsword and smashed the black shadow into pieces.
"How … how is this possible?"
He was shocked.
So Li Mu's strength was this strong?
Did he hide his strength in the previous battle?
"Retreat."
Li Mu swung his knife forward and slashed, and a large number of black figures fell.
With his own strength, he temporarily held on and forced the Heavenly Soldiers in the sentry town to retreat to avoid innocent casualties.
Seeing this, Qin Kongyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly shouted orders and reorganized the army.
At the same time, in the endless black tide, six black shadows holding tridents jumped out at the same time and surrounded Li Mu.
"Not good."
Seeing this, Qin Kongyu's heart was in his throat again.
In his mind, an uncontrollable question emerged — —
What was going on?
Where did the enemy come from? How could they have such terrifying strength?
And from the looks of it, the number of enemies was even more terrifying.
Especially the black tide that swept across the sky, it made him feel as if doomsday was coming. This was a feeling he had never felt when facing an enemy.
