Fairy Emperor of Light's expression was uncertain.
In the end, he restrained his terrifying aura, nodded, and said, "Well, I accept you as my disciple because I really want you to inherit my mantle, so I don't want to turn against you … I promise you."
He turned to look at Li Mu and the others and said, "You guys can go now."
When Li Mu was about to say something, he saw Wang Shiyu looking at him with a pleading look on her face, asking him to take the others away quickly. Li Mu couldn't help but soften his heart, so he didn't say anything.
But he certainly wouldn't really leave like that.
Because there was definitely something wrong with the identity of Fairy Emperor of Light.
How could he feel at ease leaving Wang Shiyu to this person?
The problem of cultivation could be solved sooner or later, even if he returned to Earth in the future and asked the old faker for advice. But who knew if he really wanted to accept Fairy Emperor of Light as his disciple or had other purposes?
However, before Li Mu could say anything, another man came out of the crowd, slightly cupped his hands to Fairy Emperor of Light, and said, "Senior, you can't let these people go. There's something wrong with their background."
It was a middle-aged man who was a little more than 1.7 meters tall. His face was fair and clean, and he was wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown. His appearance was ordinary, but he was quite dignified, and his eyes had the power to calm people's hearts.
Behind him were more than a dozen men in black, all dressed in black and black armor. Their faces were covered, so it was impossible to see their faces clearly. But the aura they gave was very strange. They didn't seem to be martial arts experts, and even their life fluctuations were extremely weak.
Fairy Emperor of Light was unhappy. He looked at the man and snorted. Then, he said with a strong pressure, "This is my decision. Who are you? Are you here to meddle again? Haha, it seems that after I haven't come out for a thousand years, the bugs in this world all think that I'm easy to talk to … "
To everyone's surprise, the golden-crowned middle-aged man, who did not seem to be very strong, smiled. Then, a gust of power fluctuated on the mountain like a spring breeze. With a flash, it blocked the coercion of Fairy Emperor of Light and dissolved it. Then, he said, "Senior, please don't blame me. I have no intention of overthrowing your will. I just don't want you to be deceived by these people."
Fairy Emperor of Light's expression changed slightly.
"Who are you?" He looked at the golden-crowned middle-aged man.
The power that calmly resisted his pressure just now made Fairy Emperor of Light suspicious. He suspected that he had seen the means of an old friend, which made him a little afraid.
The golden-crowned middle-aged man bowed respectfully and said, "This junior is just a small native of this planet. In the past, I was fortunate enough to receive master's favor. It's time for me to change my body and change my identity. When master left this place, he asked this junior to monitor the continent and guard against the return of the Sinners from the Star Graveyard."
"Who is your master? How did you know about the sinners? "Fairy Emperor of Light's expression changed again and again.
The words of the golden-crowned middle-aged man stirred him up, and he recalled some past events.
"My master left this place a long time ago. He only left behind a sign. Perhaps Senior might recognize it." The golden-crowned middle-aged man took out a finger-sized white beast tooth from his storage tool and held it in his palm.
This beast tooth was the size of an adult's middle finger, and it was slightly curved. It was crystalline like snow and smooth like jade, and it flickered with a strange radiance. It contained an obscure fluctuation of energy that ordinary people were utterly unable to sense.
However, Fairy Emperor of Light immediately sensed a lot of information from it.
Just now, the middle-aged man relied on this white beast tooth to resist his pressure, and Fairy Emperor of Light also recognized the origin of this beast tooth.
The way he looked at the golden-crowned middle-aged man instantly softened a little. He said, "It turns out that you are the servant of an old friend. What's the matter with the sinners you mentioned just now? Could it be that these kids are the sinners who walked out of the Star Graveyard? "He was referring to Li Mu and the others.
The golden-crowned middle-aged man nodded and said, "Senior, your guess is completely correct. However, not all of them are sinners. Only this young man named Li Mu is a fish that escaped the net. He is probably a sinner who came here along the same path. Back then, you also hunted down the sinners with your sword and defended justice. You abhorred evil as your enemy and hated sinners the most. You once said that you'd rather kill the wrong person than let the wrong person go, which was spread throughout the universe. You killed the sinners and their descendants, and set up tens of millions of traps. That year, you were trapped here in order to wipe out the sinners. Now that you've come out of the confinement, how can you let go of the sinners in front of you?"
The others were confused by his words.
But in Li Mu's heart, a huge wave was set off.
The sinners in the Star Graveyard must be referring to the people on Earth.
In some ancient books of the extraterrestrial practitioners, the term "Star Graveyard" was mentioned, which specifically referred to the solar system, and the sinners referred to the people on Earth. Yue Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, once mentioned this matter when he was alive.
"This Fairy Emperor of Light has hunted down more than 10 million sinners and their descendants?"
"That is to say, the people on Earth who died in his hands — no, to be precise, the ancient Sages on Earth who walked out of the Star Graveyard — are extremely large in number?" "Ten million should be an approximate number. But if the descendants of the ancient Sages on Earth are included, the actual number is probably not much different from this approximate number."
At this time, Fairy Emperor of Light's eyes fell on Li Mu again. His eyes were as cold as the ice spring in the depths of hell. He said, "Little boy, are you really a sinner from that cage?"
Although Wang Shiyu had not completely digested the meaning of the golden-crowned middle-aged man's words, she had already realized that something was wrong. Just as she was about to say something, Li Mu stopped her with a stern look.
"Yes." Li Mu did not choose to use a lie to eliminate the danger.
He couldn't tell this lie.
He straightened up like a lonely peak that propped up the sky and said, "I come from Earth. I am an Earthling, but I am not a sinner."
Fairy Emperor of Light's face suddenly lit up with killing intent. He laughed and said, "Good, very good, very good. No wonder, from the first time I saw you, I felt that there was a kind of aura in you that made me extremely disgusted and I couldn't help but want to kill you. It turns out that there is dirty sinner blood flowing in your body. That's right. God has eyes. Today, when I get out of here, I can use your dirty sinner blood as a sacrifice."
Li Mu and the others were the first to find him. And it was because of the bowl of blood from Bright Moon that he recovered some of his strength and was able to suppress the extraterrestrial practitioners who came later. It should be noted that at the beginning, his power was really weak. Any one of the four could kill him at will. That was because he had consumed almost all his life force in the long years. Therefore, when Li Mu and the others first showed up, he actually deliberately hid in the hut for a while and secretly observed for a while before he showed up. He pretended to be very kind and easy-going, because he was afraid that Li Mu and the others would have bad intentions. Later, with the help of Bright Moon's blood to regulate his breathing, he deliberately created extremely astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations of heaven and earth to frighten the extraterrestrial practitioners in advance. Only then could he completely control the situation after those extraterrestrial practitioners really arrived. Even if those extraterrestrial practitioners came with some other unfriendly ideas, they had to completely extinguish those ideas.
Therefore, Li Mu and the others could be regarded as the real benefactors of Fairy Emperor of Light.
Fairy Emperor of Light knew that there was a cause and effect in this matter, and he also owed Li Mu a favor. But for some reason, he couldn't help but want to kill Li Mu. Therefore, later, with the help of the Heavenly Deployment Sect, he continuously suppressed Li Mu. It was not that he couldn't see through some of the tricks of the Heavenly Deployment Sect.
The extraterrestrial practitioners looked at Li Mu and were also shocked.
They also knew a little about the legend of the sinners in the Star Graveyard.
It was said that great evil, horror, darkness, and blood were buried in that Star Graveyard. In particular, one of the planets was described as the origin of the sins in the universe. Any creature that walked out of that planet was like a devil, with the blood of evil flowing in their bodies, and would bring great disasters to the entire universe.
Many years had passed, and the sinners were almost all hunted down and uprooted by the people in the entire Star Region. Many people had forgotten what had happened in the past and the sinners. The Star Graveyard had also become a forbidden area, and no one went there to court death.
However, this Li Mu turned out to be a sinner who crawled out of the Star Graveyard?
Countless eyes fell on Li Mu.
Li Mu's expression was calm and composed.
"Whose blood is dirty and whose is clean is not determined by the mouth." Li Mu straightened up and then looked at the middle-aged man with a golden crown. "Who are you? How do you know that I'm from Earth?"
He had never seen this man before, but he pointed out Li Mu's real identity with great certainty, which puzzled Li Mu.
In addition to Wang Shiyu, there were two other people who knew that he was from Earth. The first one was Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, who was already in the state of a soul. The other one was the mysterious Lord Qu of the Southern Chu Empire, who had once sent a messenger to Taibai City and revealed Li Mu's identity.
The middle-aged man with a golden crown smiled and said, "Lord Qu of the Southern Chu, Jiang Qingluan, Li Mu, you have no way out today. Why don't you take the initiative to surrender? Maybe you can get rid of the sinner's blood in you."
Sure enough, it was Lord Qu.
Li Mu did not answer. Instead, he asked curiously, "How do you know that I'm from Earth? Who told you that? "
Jiang Qingluan, the middle-aged man with a golden crown, said with a smile, "Of course you told me that yourself. Haha, the Beauty Poems and the other poems you wrote later are all from Earth. One poem may be a coincidence, but several poems in a row are not. Only people on Earth know these poems. The only explanation is that you are from Earth. You are not low-key at all. You are a master of both poetry and martial arts. Your poems have spread all over the world, and you have also exposed your identity."
"Eh?" Li Mu suddenly realized something. He asked, "You … are also from Earth?" Only people on Earth, such as Wang Shiyu, could guess Li Mu's real origin from those poems.
Lord Qu looked serene, and there was a calm smile on his face. But that smile made Li Mu want to punch him hard.
Lord Qu nodded and said, "You guessed it right. I used to come from that filthy place. But my master has changed my blood and cleansed my marrow to cleanse my sins. Now, I am no longer a sinner on Earth but a servant of my master."
"Who on earth are you?" Li Mu's eyes were aggressive.
Lord Qu answered matter-of-factly, "You should have met Yu Hualong. He is my junior fellow apprentice. Do you understand now?"
