On the Cliff of the Living.
After looking forward to Li Mu's return for 29 days, Shan Tian, the captain of the Sword of Freedom, had no choice but to embark on the return journey from the Ghost Rally Star.
He left some supplies on the ship for Ding Yi and Second Senior Fellow Apprentice.
The two insisted on staying on the Cliff of the Living, waiting for Li Mu's return.
Shan Tian had no choice but to return to the Opposite Bank Star with his most loyal interstellar sailors.
"Please stay calm and don't leave the Cliff of the Living. Otherwise, once you get lost in the Yin Qi, it will be difficult for you to survive. Don't underestimate the danger here. We'll return in 10 days."
Shan Tian promised Ding Yi and Second Senior Fellow Apprentice and repeatedly reminded them.
He would never give up halfway on what he had promised Li Mu, the Wild Broadsword. Even if he had to stay on the ship for a few months, it didn't matter.
But since there were no supplies on the ship, he couldn't be careless. After all, the sailors' food and drink, the power output of the Sword of Freedom, the maintenance of the tactical deployment, and so on all needed to be maintained at the dock and port on time.
Three days later.
Dan Tiancai drove the Sword of Freedom and left the Ghoul Ghost Star.
When he came, he had set up a few secret sentries on the periphery of the Ghost Rally Star.
But at this time, the secret sentries were gone.
In its place was a crimson Treasure Starship, which was quietly waiting for Shan Tian and the others.
This scarlet Treasure Starship was hundreds of meters long and magnificent. The flag of the Shan family of the Opposite Bank Star was floating on it. It was the ship of an important figure of the Shan family, the largest family on the Opposite Bank Star.
On the deck at the head of the starship, a middle-aged man in a crimson suit of armor with a cold face stood quietly like a nail.
If one took a closer look, they would find that the middle-aged man's face was very similar to Shan Tian's.
"Third Brother, you've finally come out of this damn place."
The middle-aged man casually flicked his scarlet cloak. When he saw the figures coming out of the Sword of Freedom, he smiled at Shan Tian, who was walking in the middle.
Shan Tian and a few trusted subordinates walked out of the cockpit, looking surprised. "Sixth Brother, why are you here?"
The middle-aged man who looked similar to him was his half-brother, Shan Jian. He was one of the most valued successors of the Shan family, the most powerful family on the Opposite Bank Star. Unlike Shan Tian, who liked to wander around freely on a flying ship, Shan Jian had been involved in family affairs since he was a child. Now, he could be regarded as a member of the decision-making team of the Shan family and had a lot of power.
In contrast, Shan Tian rarely participated in the family affairs. In some family occasions, he just went through the motions. He was not enthusiastic about the power and status of the family. Most of the time, he stayed out of the whole family system.
In fact, in the early years, the head of the Shan family attached great importance to Shan Tian. Because at that time, Shan Tian was a chivalrous and forthright man in the Opposite Bank Star and was quite famous. But later, as Shan Tian became sloppy and less ambitious, the Shan family gradually shifted the focus of cultivation to other young disciples.
Shan Jian was one of the clan's disciples that had been specially nurtured.
Shan Tian was very surprised by Shan Jian's arrival.
He didn't have much contact with his younger brother. They only met a few times, and they just nodded at each other at the family's grand ceremony. They had different interests and ambitions. If it weren't for the fact that they were not related by blood, they would probably be strangers to each other.
"Is he waiting for me here?"
"Something happened at home. They asked me to take you back, Third Brother," Shan Jian said with a smile and a calm tone.
Shan Tian frowned.
"Something happened at home?"
"What could happen at home that made me, the" unfilial son "who had been abandoned a long time ago, get involved? And Shan Jian, the sixth brother, who was regarded as one of the several successors of the family, came to greet me in person?"
"Judging from the way things are going, Sixth Brother must have been waiting outside the Ghoul Star for a long time."
Shan Tian was suspicious and asked, "Sixth Brother, where are the brothers I left here?"
Shan Jian said with a smile, "They are all on my ship. They are served with delicious food and drinks. Third Brother, you've caused a lot of trouble this time, so I have to come to greet you in person. Please."
"Trouble?"
"What kind of trouble?"
Shan Tian was a little surprised.
He went through all the things he had done in the past six months in his mind, but he didn't think that there was anything that would affect the interests of the family.
When he took a closer look, he found that thousands of meters behind the High Mountain, where his sixth brother, Shan Jian, was, there were about 20 battle-level starships of the Shan family lined up in an arc, vaguely surrounding his Sword of Freedom. If he wanted to escape, he could only escape to the area of the Ghost Rally Star behind him.
But there was no need to run away.
Because if Shan Jian was really here to catch him, there was no need for him to remind him, intentionally or unintentionally, in his words, and he wouldn't have let the 20 battle-level starships stand so far away. It seemed that Shan Jian was just going through the motions.
For so many years, the Shan family had never been in trouble. Among the many disciples of the Shan family, no matter how close or distant they were, there had never been a case of mutual persecution. Therefore, Shan Tian was not very nervous.
He ordered his deputy to set up the Sword of Freedom, and then he went to the High Mountain.
"Sixth Brother, what's the matter?" he asked curiously.
Shan Jian said, "Third Brother, you'll know when you get home."
Shan Tian didn't ask again.
A moment later …
In the closed VIP cabin of the High Mountain.
When Shan Tian saw the three interstellar sailors he had arranged on the periphery of the Ghost Rally Star, he rushed over and knelt down.
"Brother Shan, let's go. We can't stay here for a long time."
"Big Brother, it's a disaster."
"Don't go back."
The three men almost knelt down in unison to persuade Shan Tian.
Shan Tian was not in a hurry. He helped the three men up one by one and said, "Brothers, take your time and tell me what's going on."
One of the men hurriedly said, "We've been detained on this ship by Lord Sixth for more than half a month. I heard from Lord Sixth's trusted subordinates that you sent Li Mu the Wild Broadsword to the Ghost Rally Star this time, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some major forces. Now a storm is coming, and the situation on the Opposite Bank Star is about to change. Our family can't bear the pressure anymore, so they want to take you back, Brother Shan.
"Huh?"
"It has something to do with Hero Wild Broadsword?"
When Shan Tian heard this, he was really taken aback.
Nowadays, in the entire Brilliance Immortal Star Region, everyone knew the reputation of Hero Wild Broadsword. The cultivators with real integrity all admired and admired him, but not everyone supported Hero Wild Broadsword. After all, in the past, Li Mu had offended a lot of people, whether it was on the battlefield with real swords and spears or in the forum where everyone's words could melt gold.
As many people admired Li Mu, there were also many who hated him.
Shan Tian knew very well what kind of people the major sects that controlled the Brilliance Immortal Star Region were. If something couldn't be solved on the surface, there would be thousands of dark and vicious means to solve it behind the scenes.
Why wasn't he keen on family affairs back then?
Was it because he didn't want to contribute to the family?
Definitely not.
The blood of the Shan family flowed in his veins.
The reason why he devoted himself to sailing on starships and exploring was that in the early days of dealing with family affairs, he had come into contact with many dark and sinister things. In particular, he had seen the true faces of those high and mighty sects, which made him very disappointed with the class that had the right to speak in this universe.
He didn't want to be in cahoots with them, so he indulged himself and exiled himself.
Shan Tian was a chivalrous man in Jianghu and treated others with a heroic spirit, but he was not a reckless man.
Therefore, he also knew very well how much the major sects, such as the Tianyi Palace and the Heavenly Devil Sect, secretly wanted to make a figure like Hero Wild Broadsword disappear forever.
He even thought that even if he was protected by the Moral Golden Body and had the strength of the General Realm, could Hero Wild Broadsword really make a name for himself? It was impossible. It was already very rare for him to be able to support himself under the intrigues of the major sects.
Therefore, he helped Li Mu this time because he wanted to contribute his strength to such a chivalrous man who had great character but was destined to end in tragedy before he went down the path of tragedy.
Perhaps this was also a disguised sacrifice for his dream of being a chivalrous man in the universe that had ended before he had time to start.
However, what Shan Tian didn't expect was that although he clearly knew that the major sects would secretly retaliate against Li Mu, it was a little too early, wasn't it?
It had only been a little more than a month, and the major sects couldn't wait any longer. Was it true that the effect of the public opinion of Li Mu's Moral Golden Body had faded a little?
"Big Brother, I heard from the trusted subordinates of Lord Liu that as long as you go back, it will be very dangerous. Some people behind you will never let go of anyone related to Li Mu, unless you are willing to sell Li Mu out."
The trusted subordinate gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes, Big Brother, there is still a chance now. Run away first. You have a lot of friends in the universe. You can find a place to hide for a period of time. It won't be too late to come back when the limelight is over."
"Yes, I know you, Big Brother. Even if you die, you will not betray Hero Wild Broadsword. If you go to the Opposite Bank Star, you will have no way out."
The other two trusted subordinates also tried their best to persuade him.
Shan Tian shook his head with a smile.
Others might not know how vicious and cruel the means those big forces used in secret, but how could he not know?
If he really ran away, the entire Shan family on the Opposite Bank Star would suffer a great loss.
Over the years, he had been willful and neglected his family. From time to time, he had also caused some small trouble. Although the family had punished him again and again, they had always tolerated him.
There was no way he could run away now.
"I'll go back and see."
"After running away for so many years, it seems that some things will still happen to me."
Shan Tian thought for a moment. Then, with unprecedented calmness, he said, "Since I'm here, the three of you are free now. It's useless for Sixth Brother to keep you here. So, go and do something for me. Remember, you must get it done."
"Big Brother Shan, please tell us. Even if we have to die, we will definitely get it done."
The three men patted their chests and said.
…
…
On the Ghost Rally Star.
On the periphery of the Bone Sacred Mountain.
As the huge face was broken by the Taoist magic arts, this epic battle, which was enough to be recorded in the history of this world, finally began to come to an end.
Ghost Seer's figure fell out of the broken huge face. Like a pebble under the collapsed city wall, he no longer had his previous momentum and coldness. His life-sized figure, with a panicked expression, turned into a stream of light and flew into the distance.
"You think you can escape?"
Li Mu sneered.
