Chapter 691 - Thank You, Young Master
Chapter 691 Thank You, Young Master
Li Mu felt shocked.
This was the first time he encountered something like this since he had cultivated the Eye of Flaws.
“Is it because that his cultivation level and strength are too high for me?
“We’re in big trouble.”
Li Mu stood there holding the knife in his hand, glued to the spot. Many ideas flashed through his mind. He was trying to come up with a plan to get out of here.
“What the hell is going on?”
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked at his son.
Obviously, he did not know what the young master of the Green Fox Tribe had done.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe lowered his head. With a look of awe on his face, he walked up, bowed respectfully to his father, and said, “Father, this is Li Yidao, a new super Heavenly Legend on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. I invited him over to the main mansion. To my surprise, when he saw a beautiful maid I adopted, he became intrigued and tried to take her away.”
“Um?” The eyes of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe fell on Li Mu.
Li Mu felt that these eyes were like two divine swords that were going to pierce him.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe was frighteningly powerful.
Li Mu hadn’t figured out his real cultivation level until now.
“Li Yidao? Well, so you are the hero who has won one hundred victories in a single day and made your way into the top 20 on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions. Hehe, you have made such a big scene in the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe. You’re really a formidable young man.” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe looked at Li Mu, seeming to appreciate the latter very much. After that, he nodded and said, “It’s just a maid. If he wants her, just let him take her. However, I’m afraid what you have said is not as simple as a maid, right?”
He turned his head and looked at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe silently sighed. He knew he was not able to hide the truth anymore, so with more respect he told his father the whole story in a low voice.
After the chief of the Green Fox Tribe heard the story, his face changed slightly, and he cast a glance at Bi Yan, who was standing behind Li Mu.
Just like the young master of the Green Fox Tribe, his eyes lit up as he looked at Bi Yan.
“I didn’t expect something like this to happen.” He smiled and then said to Li Mu, “Young man, you may not know what this girl means to the Green Fox Tribe. Well, how about this? As long as you let her go, I will forgive you for everything you have done and let bygones be bygones, and you will still be an honored guest of the Green Fox Tribe in the future. What do you say?”
“Father, this…” the young master of the Green Fox Tribe wanted to say something.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe waved his hand and stopped his son.
He stared at Li Mu, waiting for an answer.
Li Mu had no interest in the proposal made by the chief of the Green Fox Tribe.
The young master of the Green Fox Tribe hid the truth about Bi Yan. He even dared to lie when he answered his father’s first question. This showed that Bi Yan meant a lot to him and the truth about her was probably attractive to his father. That was why he was worried that his father would probably take her away if he told the truth.
Whatever the case might be, Bi Yan would be in a very dangerous situation if she fell into the hands of the Green Fox Tribe.
Li Mu took a deep breath and slowly tightened his grip on the Samsara Knife.
His Eye of Flaws was in full operation for continuous scanning and observation.
Since he was no match for the chief of the Green Fox Tribe, he had to find other ways instead of having a head-on fight.
“Ha ha, you are really a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe smiled.
Then he continued, “I know you’ve got the momentum from winning one hundred fights on the Immortal-slaying Platform, your fighting spirit is overwhelming, and your faith in martial arts is at its peak. However, you should also know the fact about a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. It indeed has no fear, but eventually, it will end up being killed and eaten by the tiger. Most of the time, you can change nothing if you only have faith and will.”
Li Mu remained silent.
He performed the Xiantian Skill to the extreme extent and vaguely felt that he was about to make a breakthrough.
The pain between his eyebrows radiated and spread across his head. This was a consequence of forcefully activating the Eye of Flaws to its limit. Li Mu felt as if his head was going to blow up.
He vaguely saw an intangible rippling barrier around the chief of the Green Fox Tribe.
It was this strange rippling barrier that blocked the field of vision of his Eye of Flaws.
Li Mu tried hard to see the original form of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe through the rippling barrier.
It was drifting and swirling like smoke. No matter how hard Li Mu tried, he couldn’t see it clearly.
“Alas, what a pity. It is regrettable that this genius is going to die in the end.” Seeing Li Mu’s posture, the chief of the Green Fox Tribe knew it was already impossible to resolve the dispute amicably. He let out a sigh, slowly raised his right hand, and gently clenched it toward the void that Li Mu was in.
The space between heaven and earth was instantly filled with swirling clouds and surging law runes.
Li Mu felt an indescribable, terrifying pressure coming at him from all directions.
At the same time, he found that he was unable to manage the natural qi and power in his body as if they were being suppressed.
His bones were making light cracking sounds like girder beams deformed under heavy loads.
The shadow of death shrouded him in an instant.
Even the Potential Realm created by a king-level master was not comparable to this power.
The grand will of heaven and earth in the universe acted on Li Mu.
It was a terrifying power stronger than a king-level master’s Potential Realm.
If it weren’t for his unparalleled physical strength, he would probably have been crushed into a pulpy mass in an instant.
The cultivation level of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe was far beyond Li Mu’s imagination, and it was absolutely above the King Realm.
Li Mu suddenly understood that.
He turned his head and looked at Bi Yan.
Fortunately, Bi Yan was not affected.
Obviously, the chief of the Green Fox Tribe could control his power in an incredible way. A simple move of clenching his hand from the distance was powerful enough to kill one person instantly without causing any harm to the other person.
Li Mu felt that the surrounding space between heaven and earth was closing in on him like the cracking sky and collapsing mountains. His body gradually became unable to withstand it and began to deform.
He drew his knife and thrust it!
The power of his white-bone right arm and that of his Samsara Knife burst out at the same time.
The pressure of the surrounding space between heaven and earth acting on him was suddenly lightened.
Just when Li Mu planned to perform the Somersault Cloud skill and escape from the range of killing intent with Bi Yan, the surrounding pressure of heaven and earth suddenly resumed, and working like a halt spell, the pressure nailed him to the spot.
“I’m really surprised that your knife has such power. I’m afraid that among those on the List of Heavenly Legends of the Star Regions, no one is a match for you, except the top one or two. The small Brilliance Immortal Star Region has actually raised such a divine dragon like you.”
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe stared at Li Mu. He seemed to think more highly of Li Mu now.
“It’s really weird. I sensed the vibe of the Green Fox Tribe in you just now. I’m afraid that there is a slight trace of the Green Fox Tribe’s blood in your body. Well, I’m willing to ask you one last time. I’ll spare you, and you will join the Green Fox Tribe. I will treat you as my own child and give you high authority and power. What do you think?”
Upon hearing those words, other experts of the Green Fox Tribe on the scene, including the young master of the Green Fox Tribe, were surprised, and the looks on their faces changed instantly.
“Father?” the young master of the Green Fox Tribe exclaimed in surprise. “How come this person can have the blood of the Green Fox Tribe?”
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe didn’t respond.
Instead, he looked expectantly at Li Mu.
A trace of the Green Fox Tribe’s blood?
Li Mu was surprised to hear that.
He couldn’t move, but many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
“What are you going to do about Bi Yan?” Li Mu asked.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe shook his head and said, “That’s a secret of our tribe. I can’t tell you now. This girl is a member of the Green Fox Tribe, and she has the bloodline of the Green Fox Tribe in her body. Even if she sacrificed herself for our tribe, that would just be a matter of course.”
Sure enough.
When Li Mu heard that, he immediately knew that Bi Yan would absolutely be in great danger if she fell into the hands of the Green Fox Tribe.
“It seems that the Green Fox Tribe is planning to sacrifice Bi Yan to achieve something.
“Is this why the young master of the Green Fox Tribe wants Bi Yan to awaken the bloodline of the Green Fox ancestors at all costs?”
Li Mu shook his head and said, “We’ll never reach an agreement. If you want to get your hands on Bi Yan, you have to ask the knife in my hand first.”
He was ready to play the last trump card.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the face of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe. He said, “You’re so stubborn… In that case, don’t blame me for being cruel and merciless.” As he spoke, he splayed the fingers of his right hand and began to clench his right hand.
Li Mu suddenly felt the irresistible power of heaven and earth pressing against him. His bones creaked as if they were going to be crushed.
It seemed that he had to use that last method.
Li Mu made up his mind and got ready to make his move.
Just then, the little fox girl, Bi Yan, who had been standing behind Li Mu, took a step forward and stood in front of him.
“Let’s stop here,” she said.
Surprisingly, as soon as she finished speaking, the surging power of heaven and earth around Li Mu suddenly dissipated like smoke in the wind.
Li Mu felt that his body become light all of a sudden.
He regained control of his body.
The power in his body was completely under his control now.
He looked at Bi Yan in surprise.
The chief of the Green Fox Tribe also looked shocked.
“You…” He looked at Bi Yan, unable to understand why this little fox girl was able to break his Will of the Extreme Way.
Bi Yan ignored everyone else.
She turned around and looked at Li Mu with an unprecedentedly beautiful smile on her face.
“Thank you, Young Master.” She stared at Li Mu with her shining eyes. The brilliance in her eyes was like the most beautiful thing in the world.
Li Mu didn’t know what to say.
He realized that the changes that had taken place in Bi Yan might be far beyond his imagination and the expectations of the chief of the Green Fox Tribe and his son.
“Thank you for risking your life to try to take me away.” Bi Yan gently hugged Li Mu, and tears rolled down from her eyes again. “I am an abandoned orphan. You have made me feel treasured and cared for the first time in my life. It is the most wonderful feeling in the world.”
Her body was emanating blue divine light.
The divine light spread out and swirled between heaven and earth.
The chief, the young master, and all the experts of the Green Fox Tribe immediately knelt down uncontrollably in the void like inferior beings submitting to and worshipping the destined king of their bloodline with all their hearts and souls.
“Why is this happening?” The chief of the Green Fox Tribe was utterly dumbfounded.
He turned his head, glanced at the young master of the Green Fox Tribe, and said angrily, “What… what kind of ancestral bloodline have you made her awaken? You stupid fool! What on earth have you done?”
With a look of disbelief on his face, the young master of the Green Fox Tribe said, “It’s the bloodline of the Dummy Ancestor. It’s just, it’s just that… How could that be possible? No, it shouldn’t be like this. I have cast a Dummy Spell on her.”
