Chapter 600 A Huge Sensation

At first, when various major sects released the news about Li Mu the mad killer, it did not leave a particularly deep impression on most of the rogue cultivators and ordinary cultivators in the universe. Moreover, since the major sects had been bullying others in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region all along, many instead took pleasure in Li Mu’s murder of all those elders and disciples of the major sects. Li Mu might be a sinner, but so what? All those years, the major sects had been hunting sinners. But as a matter of fact, the concept of sinners was already rather blurry for the small sects and rogue cultivators.

But now, with the news that hundreds of merchants and innocent cultivators on the South Street of Star Wind City were slaughtered, even the cultivators at the bottom of the social ladder became furious.

When the martial arts civilization in the universe had developed to this day, there were still many people abiding by the written laws and regulations of the civilization. Even though some major sects sometimes engaged in illegal activities, such as plundering, they usually carried out those activities in secret.

Even when they decided to launch a massacre, considering the reputation of their renowned sect, they would never dare to start a frenzied carnage so unscrupulously in broad daylight.

It could be said that the massacre on the South Street of the Star Wind City had broken through the bottom line of the martial arts civilization in the universe.

Even though this bottom line had been crossed many times in the past, Li Mu the mad killer was the first one to do it so blatantly.

Many rogue cultivators, small sects, and ordinary cultivators were incensed by his atrocity.

For days, all kinds of indignant protests and spiteful curses flooded to the Forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region and incessantly lingered on.

The relatives and friends of the victims slaughtered on the Southern Street also wildly accused Li Mu, comparing him to a devil from hell. They also offered a bounty and mobilized others to capture this heartless devil and sentence him to death.

“We shall not let such an inhuman beast continue to live in the universe.”

“We must kill him.”

“All sinners should go to hell.”

The whole universe was condemning Li Mu, both in speech and in writing.

In particular, at an earlier time, someone had worked out that the account Li Mu the Wild Broadsword used on the Immortal Net was exactly the one called “Being Forced to Keep a Pig”. So, countless cultivators angrily accused and cursed him through the Immortal Net. They clicked into his account and ruthlessly bashed his posts. To leave nasty comments beneath the posts, some people even paid several copper-colored fairy crystals to get access to the content of the posts.

“From the fact that Li Mu killed many disciples of our Gold Sun Sect in Gold Town, it can be seen that he is heinous. We cultivators of the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy should all unite to kill him.”

Gold Sun Warlord, who had been the most zealous in admonishing Li Mu, seized the opportunity to fan the flames.

Mu Shun also logged into the Immortal Net and revealed his identity. His online name was simply Mu Shun from the Tianyi Palace. He sent several posts onto the forum and listed all kinds of crimes Li Mu had committed. His trusted subordinates also actively left comments below all those posts and kept slandering Li Mu.

“It’s too horrible to look at. An old man on his last legs was directly minced by this beast.”

“Everybody, take a look at the pictures to see how Li Mu the Wild Broadsword killed ten babies less than three years old...”

“Madam Ye of the Ancient House on the South Street, a well-known beautiful woman, was raped and killed by Li Mu in front of her husband. Here is the picture we retrieved with the Water Mirror Technique afterward.”

“He has deracinated humanity and gone out of his mind...”

On the forum, pictures of the tragedy on the South Street were publicized by the Tianyi Palace.

Babies with their hands and feet ripped off were looking at the sky helplessly, as though questioning the world that what they had unintentionally done wrong to deserve this. An attractive young woman was lying on the ground, completely naked. Her jade-like body was covered in wounds, and her limbs were snapped. Her husband was nailed to death by a long spear three meters away from her...

Countless people’s eyes almost popped of their sockets in wrath when they saw those pictures.

“B*stard!”

“That sinned scum devoid of humanity!”

“No, don’t call him a monster. It’s an insult to monsters.”

“No matter what price it takes, we must get him killed.”

“I’ll go to Star Wind City. Even if I may be smashed to pieces, I will bite off a chunk of meat from Li Mu the Wild Broadsword.”

Countless cultivators who read the posts on the Immortal Net were furious beyond words.

Some famous heroes and seniors in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region also spoke out and called on the cultivators to unite and kill Li Mu the Wild Broadsword.

Then, Mu Shun from the Tianyi Palace once again posted a post on the forum to guide the public opinion.

“This Li Mu the Wild Broadsword comes from the Divine Land, which is an insignificant planet that hasn’t yet been accepted by the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. Li Mu has built up his own forces there, and they are all extremely evil forces. So, we should not only kill Li Mu but also get rid of his minions at the same time. Only in this way can we really avenge those victims.”

Mu Shun purposefully drew the eyes of those infuriated cultivators to the Divine Land.

“That’s right. We gotta get rid of all evil.”

“Repay him with twice what he’s done to those innocent people. Let’s strike back.”

“We shall simply wipe out this planet that has fostered such a devil.”

Being incited, those angry cultivators also began to lose their minds. They were really provoked by the tragic cases that happened in Star Wind City, especially the pictures that had been carefully selected and posted online. What the pictures showed was inhuman and hated by both man and God.

To find Li Mu the Wild Broadsword and kill him had become the common will of countless cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

When the nine major sects jointly put Li Mu on the wanted list, only a few Galaxy Hunters and greedy people were tempted to take action. But now, almost all the cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region were dying to find Li Mu and give him a slow, agonizing death to vent their hatred.

Some people took advantage of the public rage to push the Immortal Net, hoping that the Immortal Net could ascertain Li Mu’s whereabouts through the information of the “Being Forced to Keep a Pig” so as to help them hunt him down.

But by far, the Immortal Net had remained silent on this.

In the past few days, there were more than ten times more cultivators, rogue cultivators, and bounty hunters in Star Wind City.

In the streets and alleys, many figures were patrolling back and forth, searching for any suspicious targets.

In addition to Li Mu, as his minions, Ding Yi and the pig spirit were also listed as targets.

Many masters and cultivators quite famous in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region had also come to Star Wind City.

A worldwide chase after Li Mu the Wild Broadsword had been wildly and passionately carried out.

“That’s impossible,” Ding Yi said firmly, “Sect Master would never do such things, nor would the people of Mount Shu commit such crimes!”

He was shocked by what he saw on the Immortal Net.

The real culprit was the Tianyi Palace.

That was for sure.

However, what could he do to help Sect Master fight back?

Ding Yi racked his brains.

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice grunted and said, “Don’t do anything. What you need to do now is to bury your head in the sand like a cultivator on the Ostrich Star. You’d better bury your whole body in the sand in case anyone finds you. Otherwise, once you give a bit of your information away, you will be exposed and hunted down. Then, the others can hold you hostage to deal with your sect master.”

For the first time, Ding Yi turned his head and looked at the pig earnestly.

Second Senior Fellow Apprentice then said, “How can a humble mortal know how great the God of Pig is?”

“That was all Tianyi Palace’s doing!”

Zuo Qingqing also learned about what was going on outside from the Immortal Net.

She was quite thrilled.

“I’m willing to go out and stick up for him...” She looked at Guo Yuqing and said, “Brother Guo, it turns out that the person who saved us that night was Li Mu the Wild Broadsword. Are you and him both from the Divine Land?”

Guo Yuqing nodded.

He knew that Li Mu was in big trouble this time.

The hardship his third brother faced this time was greater than any other time’s in the past.

It could no longer be solved with violence. If it was not handled properly, Li Mu would be utterly discredited.

The public opinion was directed by the big sects. In this respect, his third brother was really weak. He was not at all of the same order as the big sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

Guo Yuqing turned to look at Zuo Qingqing and then at Younger Liu.

He had to protect these two people, even if that cost his life.

Because the All-directional Star Bureau was also on the list of the victims. As the survivors of the tragedy, if they were willing to come forward to testify for Li Mu, there might be one last shred of hope.

Nonetheless, their testification would not weigh much.

On a beautiful mountain peak with a spectacular waterfall.

“Grandpa Ma, that bad guy came to the Milky Way. He killed lots of people.” A childish voice was heard, which carried a hint of concern.

A burly old man was standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the land below. The mountains were lavish. The rivers were vast and magnificent. What a great view! The figures darting from one peak to another were like flashes of lightning. The world had been in distress for too long. A force that was powerful enough to overthrow everything was accumulating, waiting for the ruler to come back.

“Grandpa Ma, Nannan wants to go out and have some fresh air,” the child’s voice said.

The old man smiled.

Then, he nodded and said, “Sure, let’s go out and have a look.”

A figure in black appeared with aloofness and arrogance. The eyes under his sword-shaped eyebrows were gleaming fiercely.

“He would never do that kind of thing.”

The young man was standing in front of a black sea. He looked like a sharp sword piercing into the dark sky. In this world where there was no daytime but dark nights, he cultivated without a stop. He had been to many different places and met many people, but the person he came across in the Tomb of the God of Sin was the only one he feared and admired.

Behind him were countless black-robed figures, all of whom were on one knee.

“Go back and tell father that I’m off to the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.”

The long sword without a scabbard on his back was like a dormant black dragon. The young man casually swung a finger in the air and a space rift emerged in front of him. Then, he stepped into that rift and disappeared.

“Sister, let’s go to the Brilliance Immortal Star Region and bludgeon that b*stard. I can’t believe he actually did something this cruel.”

The girl making that remark was holding a sword taller than herself. She was wearing a pair of ponytails and a silver suit. She looked pretty cool, but there was no expression of indignation on her face.

Her good-looking sister put down the book in her hand and said, “Do you want to save lives or take lives?”

The girl with two ponytails said cunningly, “I wanna take some people’s lives in order to save one life.”

Her older sister got to her feet, stretched herself, and said, “Can you really do that? Will you... be able to convince everyone that what you said is true?”

The little girl answered, “As for those who don’t believe my words, I will stab them to death.”

Her older sister did not know what to say to that.

“Then, you wouldn’t be any different from him, would you?”
