Such a change was out of Li Mu's expectation.
But when he thought of the red light that just escaped, Li Mu believed the Moon Emperor's words.
"A thousand years ago, my Moon Clan's army was ambushed and completely annihilated. Afterwards, our souls were trapped in the Moon Ship and controlled by Evil Blood Flame Emperor. For a thousand years, we used the Moon Clan's treasures as bait to capture and kill the creatures that came here. Even if we died, we would not be able to escape. Today, you have helped us escape from Evil Blood Flame Emperor's control and let us recover our original appearances."
The Moon Emperor led a thousand soldiers of the Moon Clan and saluted Li Mu.
The blood moon dissipated, and the silver moonlight spread between heaven and earth.
Li Mu's body was empty of the golden talisman power. He returned the salute and said with a bitter smile, "I just wanted to survive. It was an accident." He pretended to forget that he had taken the twenty boxes of moon gems for himself.
"Now that the Moon Ship has been destroyed, we have lost our shelter. When the sun rises, our souls will scatter. It's a pity that we haven't avenged the past framing, and we can't rest in peace." The Moon Emperor bowed deeply to Li Mu again and said, "I have a favor to ask Young Master."
Li Mu said, "What is it?"
The Moon Emperor said, "If I'm not wrong, the two rings that you used to defeat the Blood Flame Evil Emperor are a pair of Universal Objects, and their quality is not low. I beg Young Master to allow the remnants of our Moon Clan to live in them and guard their bodies until the time comes to wash away the grievances of our clan."
Li Mu said, "Live in the Tiandi Ring?"
When did the Tiandi Ring become a Universal Object? Err, the main thing is, what is a Universal Item? The old faker didn't say anything about that.
The Moon Emperor said, "Of course, in return, a thousand soldiers of our Moon Clan are willing to serve you. But we will never refuse your orders. The only thing is that our soldiers are the remnants of souls and can only fight at night. They can't see the sun."
Li Mu's eyes lit up.
That was interesting.
Li Mu had seen the fighting power of the Moon Clan before. They were absolutely powerful. If he agreed to the Moon Emperor's request, did it mean that he would have a thousand and one followers by his side from then on? Fighting against the enemy, whether it was a one-on-one or a group fight, it would all be up to him?
No matter how he thought about it, there was no reason for him to reject such a good thing.
Li Mu's only worry was that he would be involved in the feud of the Moon Clan in the past. But after giving it a second thought, Li Mu felt that he had a lot of troubles on him. So, he didn't need to worry too much about it.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had used up quite a bit of his True Energy. The wild beasts and monsters that covered the mountains and plains hadn't left yet. They were like tigers eyeing their prey.
"Okay." Li Mu agreed. "But you have to swear that you won't do anything against me."
The Moon Emperor said, "I swear in the name of Cang Yue that we will never betray you. Moreover, once we enter Young Master's item of heaven and earth, our lives will be under Young Master's control. If we betray you, Young Master can destroy our souls with a single thought. "
Li Mu said, "In that case, don't you leave your lives in my hands?"
The Moon Emperor laughed.
He had long silver hair, a beard, and eyebrows. His eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see through everything in the world. He said, "Young Master's performance tonight makes me feel that it is much more fortunate to be in the hands of someone like you than to be controlled by Evil Blood Flame Emperor."
Li Mu nodded and said, "In that case, please go ahead."
"Thank you, Young Master." The Moon Emperor turned around and nodded to his clansmen. "You enter the item of heaven and earth first. I will personally escort Young Master out of the wilderness."
"Yes, sir." He turned into a stream of moonlight and disappeared into the Earth Ring.
Li Mu looked down at the Earth Ring. On the surface, there was no change. As for the inside … Li Mu couldn't detect the inside of this Emperor weapon for the time being. He had always thought that the inside of the ring was solid.
"Young Master, should we return to the East Star Village you mentioned now?" The Moon Emperor was very respectful and considered himself a subordinate.
Li Mu thought for a moment. With such a great master protecting him, there was no need to be too anxious.
So he went to the ruins of the Moon Ship, found a hidden place, and began to operate his Cultivation Method to recover.
About two hours later, the Golden Talisman power and Genuine Qi in his body finally became full again.
After the all-out battle tonight, Li Mu felt that his cultivation realm had improved again. He had already recovered to the middle level of the King Realm. Between his eyebrows, when the magic eye was closed, he also felt waves of clearness, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon.
After he finished regulating his breathing, Li Mu found that the Moon Emperor had been guarding him not far away. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Senior, thank you." Li Mu walked out of the ruins of the Moon Ship. Suddenly, he saw a red awl under his feet. Under the moonlight, it was shining with an evil light. It was the evil aura of the Moon Emperor and the others. His heart moved. He picked it up and said, "Senior, do you recognize this thing?"
"Blood Flame Soul-Controlling Awl?" A trace of hatred appeared on the Moon Emperor's face. He said, "It's the magic instrument of that old bastard Blood Flame Evil Emperor. For more than a thousand years, I have been controlled and tortured by this evil thing. I think that old bastard fled in a hurry, so he left it behind. There should be three of them."
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "By the way, senior, how strong is that Blood Flame Evil Emperor? How could he control you and so many warriors of the Moon Clan? "
The Moon Emperor said, "The old bastard's strength is unfathomable. He only separated a wisp of his divine thought to control us. Thanks to that, he lost control after being smashed by Young Master's Cosmos Object. His divine thought escaped. If it was his real body, I'm afraid even Young Master couldn't do anything to him."
Li Mu felt a lingering fear when he heard that.
"So that's how it is. Everything makes sense."
"Is this Blood Flame Evil Emperor the enemy who framed and destroyed the Moon Clan?" Li Mu asked again.
The Moon Emperor's expression was complicated. He slowly shook his head and said, "Maybe, maybe not. What happened back then was not so simple. It involved all the major clans. Even the Human Clan … I don't know the truth. That's why I have to investigate to figure it out. This is also the reason why the souls of the warriors of my clan haven't dispersed for a thousand years. After all, that year … Forget it. It's all in the past. I don't want to hurt Young Master's ears."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Li Mu stopped asking.
"Let's go back."
After determining the direction, he hurried toward the East Star Village.
At this time, there were still two hours before dawn.
Screams and roars came from everywhere in the wilderness. In the midst of the blood, the herds of beasts and monsters fell into a frenzy of killing each other.
The Emperor Molasses did not fuse on the spot, so the wild beasts and monsters fought over the Emperor Molasses in each other's bodies by devouring their own kind. No one wanted to wait for the next opportunity that came only once every sixty years. Everywhere, one could see two groups of beasts that were originally able to coexist peacefully, but now, in the wilderness, a bloody battle that was difficult to coexist had begun.
Li Mu even saw that the four Beast Kings had also begun to fight.
In this 60 years' time, the Beast Kings obviously absorbed the most Emperor Molasses. Every Beast King wanted to devour each other and get the Emperor Molasses in each other's bodies. That way, they could save 60 years of waiting, evolve, and enter a higher life level.
When it was almost dawn, the Moon Emperor entered the Ring of Heaven and Earth.
Although he was powerful, he could not appear in the daytime.
Li Mu came to the outside of the East Star Village alone.
From afar, the silver scout in charge of guarding found him.
"He's back. The Profound Sky Power is back."
With a loud shout, the entire East Star Village was boiling.
Ye Ying, Lin Jingxin, Xiao Jianfei, and the others directly flew out of the village. Seeing that Li Mu was unharmed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, you're finally back. That's great." Xiao Jianfei came up and gave Li Mu a bear hug. He patted Li Mu's shoulder hard.
Lin Jingxin directly threw over a wine pot and said, "Haha, good boy, you are qualified to drink a mouthful of my 'Green Brow Wine'."
Li Mu opened the cork and drank it in one gulp.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey …" Lin Jingxin looked at him eagerly and finally whispered, "I said to drink a mouthful, but you actually drank it all. This wine is … but … alas, forget it, I owe you."
Ye Ying also came over and looked Li Mu up and down. Seeing that he was unharmed, a trace of surprise flashed in his incomparably heroic eyes. He nodded and said, "I owe you a favor."
Li Mu smiled and nodded.
Li Mu had a good impression of the three captains of the silver scout team.
"Brother Mu, you're finally back. The villagers were worried to death. Are you all right …" Second Brother Feng and the others also rushed to the village entrance, looking concerned.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm so afraid of death that I will never do things that I'm not sure about." Li Mu smiled and hugged Second Brother Feng and the others, then said, "By the way, how is it? Have you brought back all the food? "
Second Brother Feng and the others' faces became gloomy, but then they smiled again. "As long as people are alive, food is nothing. We can find another way. It's not like we haven't starved before. Everyone is most worried about you."
Xiao Jianfei directly interrupted, "Don't worry. This time, we will be responsible for the winter food of East Star Village. Even if we have to go hunting in the wilderness, we will help you collect enough winter food."
Li Mu grinned and said, "No need. I've already prepared it."
When they arrived at the village, Li Mu took out a large amount of food from the storage space and placed it on the ground.
Second Brother Feng was both surprised and delighted. He said, "This … this is the food we lost before. Brother Mu, did you bring it all?"
Li Mu said, "At first, I just wanted to give you a surprise after you returned safely. I didn't expect that the night would be so long and full of twists and turns. Fortunately, it was more daunting than dangerous. Everyone came back safely."
"Thanks to you, little brother. Otherwise, we would all be buried on the Moon Ship tonight," Xiao Jianfei also said with great emotion.
