Chapter 1015 The New Remarkable Chief
Li Mu had never heard of the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements.
Among the ten Holy Lands of the Human Clan, in addition to the Sanctuary of the Way, the Brotherhood of Swords, the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, the Holy Land of Thousand Flames, the Holy Land of the Flying Star, and the Holy Land of Delirious Voices, there were the Shenji of Hundred Refinements, the Huazang Temple, the Brotherhood of Ink-fragrant Books, and the Chunyang Palace.
The ten Holy Lands could also be said to be the pillars of the Human Clan.
The Military of Man was established by these ten Holy Lands.
The highest authority of the Military of Man was the Conclave of Ten, which was composed of the representatives of the ten Holy Lands. Even the emperors of martial arts could not change the projects passed by the Conclave of Ten. It was not only the highest authority of the Military of Man but also the highest power of the entire Human Clan.
Zhuge Yun was from Shenji of Hundred Refinements, one of the ten Holy Lands.
The Holy Land was known for its casting, creation, mechanisms, puppets, armor, weapons, and other secret skills. It was said that the Cosmic Emperor Deathless was from this Holy Land. However, the saying had not been recognized by the Holy Land of the Shenji of Hundred Refinements. The path the Cosmic Emperor Deathless took was very similar to that of the Shenji of Hundred Refinements. Therefore, it was not strange that such a rumor existed.
This time, the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless attracted many forces again. The Military of Man sent Zhuge Yun to the Ziwei Star Zone with the Realm-breaking Diagram because he was one of the most outstanding future leaders of the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements. He was the three Creators of the Battlefield of Chaos. The other two were the Devil Creator of the devil races and the Tortoise Shell Creator of the Extraterritorial Demons.
The Sword Fanatic gave a rough account of all these things along the way.
Only then did Li Mu learn the information.
Song Bie and the other two Sword Envoys had been following Li Mu in silence. They were silent like shadows. When they were asked, they would answer. Li Mu glanced at the three with his Third Eye and found that their strength was strong. They were all in the Way Sage Realm, much stronger than Liuyun Wuxin.
If they were loyal and used well, these three people, no, including Duan Gu, would help Li Mu a lot.
However, Li Mu felt a sense of alienation and indifference from these three people. It seemed that if he wanted his subordinates to be loyal to him, he needed some opportunities.
However, he had a good chat with Zhuge Yun, the most outstanding disciple of the Shenji of Hundred Refinements.
Zhuge Yun’s cultivation and status in the Military of Man were even higher than those of the three Sword Envoys. He was very humorous, easygoing, and talkative. With the Sword Fanatic, the old and cheeky guy, joking on the side, Li Mu and Zhuge Yun seemed to have become old friends for many years after entering the Zone where the Ghost Star was located.
“Eh? I found something strange ahead.” Zhuge Yun said.
Everyone came to the front of the Shenji and stood on the tower to look forward. They were all shocked.
In the starry sky ahead, broken warships, corpses, broken limbs, collapsed towers, broken flags, and all kinds of broken weapons and armor were floating in the void!
A battle had taken place here not long ago!
“It’s the fleet of the Divine Chaos Dynasty. They’ve all been wiped out here,” Yuan Hou said.
He knew the Chaos Divine Dynasty the best, so he recognized it at a glance.
“The people who took action should be from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.” The Sword Fanatic sensed the rich and not dissipated lightning energy in the ruins of the battlefield. This was the unique aura of the Cultivation Method of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.
Li Mu had a rough estimation that the fleet of the Divine Chaos Dynasty met the people of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. The two sides fought with each other for some reason. As a result, the fleet was destroyed by the experts of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.
“The Divine Chaos Dynasty has been running amok in the universe. This time, they suffered a big loss.” Ming Yue gloated.
Li Mu thought that the experts of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain had always been overbearing. It would be strange if they did not get into a fight with the Divine Chaos Dynasty. That was not surprising.
But this was not good news.
Why was the fleet of the Divine Chaos Dynasty here?
Why did people from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain appear here?
It was basically certain that they came here for the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless.
That was to say, these two big forces might have already paid attention to the Ghost Star, and they might even have landed on the Ghost Star.
“We have to speed up.”
The Sword Fanatic said.
Zhuge Yun waved his White Crane Feather Fan. The Shenji instantly entered a state of extreme speed.
Hundreds of mechanical puppets operated the huge warship steadily.
Two hours passed.
“The Ghost Star is up ahead, but the Death Qi is a little tricky.” Zhuge Yun stood on the top of the tower and looked into the distance. He saw that the entire Ghost Star was shrouded in the dark red Death Qi. This kind of power of death had a great impact on living things. It was more troublesome that he felt a terrifying tactical deployment hidden in the Death Qi. It was running naturally. The power of the tide on the Ghost Star and the dense Death Qi would be a great obstacle to the living.
“Yes. The tactical deployment within the Death Qi is a little special. It shouldn’t have been set up by the experts of this world.” The Sword Fanatic was also quite surprised.
Song Bie and the others were not as powerful as Zhuge Yun and the Sword Fanatic. But after careful observation, they were also shocked.
They sensed the aura of the killing formation in it.
The killing formation was terrible. If an expert in the Way Sage Realm went in alone, the person would probably be killed in it. Therefore, they would suffer losses if they forcibly went into it.
Such a tactical deployment couldn’t be set up by the experts in this world.
Could it be set by the Cosmic Emperor Deathless in the past?
Zhuge Yun was calculating the route in his mind, and Li Mu said directly, “I know the route. We don’t have to wait. Speed up and go straight in.”
Everyone looked at Li Mu in surprise.
Yuan Hou directly explained, “The tactical deployment was set up by Young Master in the past.”
“What?” Song Bie exclaimed this time.
The others also looked at Li Mu in surprise.
“How could the tactical deployment be set up by Li Mu?
“Could it be that Li Mu is a master of tactical deployments hiding his strength?”
Li Mu said indifferently, “Back then, I set up a growing tactical deployment. That’s why it can be so powerful today. But the safe route hasn’t changed. Senior Zhuge, please follow my instructions and move forward.”
“It’s not easy even for a growing tactical deployment to reach such a high level,” Zhuge Yun said. “You are really a gifted genius. Even the future leader of the Brotherhood of Ink-fragrant Books, one of the Holy Lands, can’t do better than you.”
Among the Holy Lands of the Human Clan, the Brotherhood of Ink-fragrant Books was known for its tactical deployments.
Li Mu smiled and guided the ship all the way.
Everyone soon believed what Yuan Hou said. Every place that Li Mu pointed out seemed to be extremely dangerous, but they were safe the next moment. Li Mu personally urged some kind of power in the dense Death Qi to open up a new road. Every time there was no way out, another way would appear.
Song Bie and the other two Sword Envoys finally had a better opinion of Li Mu.
A master of tactical deployment with such means was quite powerful in the Battlefield of Chaos. Especially the Spiritual Qi of the Battlefield of Chaos was thick, and the rules were clear and complete. The tactical deployments set there would act more powerfully.
Those great masters of the tactical deployments of the Brotherhood of Ink-fragrant Books could even set up the killing tactical deployments that could trap great emperors, as long as they had enough time and corresponding materials.
Although the Inquisition was a subordinate combat branch of the Military of Man and attached the most importance to personal strength. It was acceptable to have a master of tactical deployments as the Holder of Lamp.
Thinking of this, the three people thought more highly of Li Mu.
About four hours later, the Shenji came to the sky above the Bone Sacred Mountain.
“Here it is.”
The warship descended rapidly.
In the end, this warship from the Battlefield of Chaos landed halfway up the Bone Sacred Mountain.
Everyone got off the warship.
“What a place of death! I’ve sensed the presence of countless practitioners. Are they the ghost practitioners here?” Zhuge Yun made a hand seal. As soon as the seal came out, the Shenji suddenly folded and shrank incredibly. Finally, it turned into a palm-sized piece of bronze metal. It fell into his palm, and even the hundreds of mechanical puppets on the warship had been shrunk into it.
Li Mu was impressed by the secret skill.
The figures ahead flickered, not daring to approach.
“Your honor, I’ll catch a few ghost practitioners and interrogate them,” Song Bie said.
Li Mu shook his head and said, “I’ll ask some people to come.”
He conjured up a streak of power, which seemed to be a signal. Then he sent it out.
Soon, dozens of strong auras quickly approached, revealing their faces. They were Caicai, Ning Jing, Dong Xue, and other people.
“Brother Mu!” Caicai let out a cheer the moment she caught sight of Li Mu. She sprinted over to Li Mu and threw her arms tightly around Li Mu, saying, “Brother Mu is a liar. You promised you would come back to see me. But it took you so long to get here.”
Li Mu blushed.
“Your honor.”
Ning Jing and Dong Xue came over to salute.
Zhuge Yun, the Sword Fanatic, and the others were surprised again. It seemed that Li Mu not only knew the tactical deployment of Death Qi outside but also had a close relationship with the ghost practitioners here, especially the ponytailed girl and the couple. Their strength was probably at the peak of the Deity Realm. They should be the rulers of this planet, such as the Ghost Lord and so on.
They were not simple.
After Li Mu introduced them to Zhuge Yun, Sword Fanatic, and the others, he asked Dong Xue, “How is it going?”
Dong Xue said, “Several groups of powerful outsiders have entered the Earth Fire at the foot of the Bone Sacred Mountain. Fortunately, you have already sent us a message, so we did not resist and moved most of the ghost practitioners in advance. We were restrained and did not have any conflict with these outsiders, so we basically suffered no losses.”
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
That was good.
What he was most worried about did not happen.
“Come on! Let’s go straight to the silver-mountain-like strange stone,” Li Mu said.
