By this moment, everyone was dying to know who Li Mu was.
Ghost Seer had posed the question they wanted to ask the most.
However—
“I will not tell you,” Li Mu said with a grin.
Ghost Seer: “…”
All the surrounding ghost cultivators were also sort of befuddled.
That was quite a playful answer.
The demeanor of a peerless master that he had shown before and his momentum of mysteriously overpowering the three Holy Sages suddenly seemed ridiculous and unbecoming compared with the five-word answer he just gave. His heroic image was on the verge of collapsing.
“Could you make some effort to maintain the master’s demeanor?”
Even Zhen Ye, the Ghost General, clamped a hand over his forehead and rubbed.
“Buddy, you…
“You’re too naughty.”
Ning Jing, Dong Xue, and Caicai, on the other hand, burst into laughter.
This was exactly Young Master’s way of doing things.
They were quite familiar with it.
This was what Young Master used to be like when he was on the Divine Land.
At that time, Young Master was already a famous poet and martial arts genius on that planet. He was excellent in martial arts and unparalleled in poetry. Also, he was the county magistrate of Taibai County. Even so, he didn’t put on any airs. He was easy to get along with and often made some harmless jokes.
He had a kind of charm that others would never have and could never imitate.
“You are from the ‘Divine Nest’, aren’t you?” Ghost Seer spoke again. He was gazing intently at Li Mu as if he wanted to see the expression on Li Mu’s face when he heard the word “Divine Nest”.
However, to his disappointment, Li Mu’s expression was very calm.
“Yeah, how do you know?” Li Mu asked in return.
He was making things up now.
In truth, Li Mu had no idea what the so-called “Divine Nest” was.
But he might as well give the positive answer first and see what this Ghost Seer was going to say next.
The reason why Li Mu dared to say that Ghost Seer was not from this world was that he had found the living aura on the Ghost Seer with the help of his Eye of Flaws. So, he pointed it out to bluff him.
Now, after seeing the reaction of Ghost Seer, Li Mu knew that he had made the right bluff.
Ghost Seer was definitely not a dead person.
He didn’t belong to this Ghost Rally Star, either.
This was kind of interesting.
Yet, upon hearing Li Mu’s frank confession, Ghost Seer found it hard to believe his words instead.
Since when did the people from the Divine Nest have the nerve to expose their identities in public?
It seemed that there was little left to talk about on this subject.
For a moment, Ghost Seer didn’t know what to say next.
Li Mu pressed, “Since you now know that I’m from the Divine Nest, why don’t you have the decency to get lost? Are you going to go against the Divine Nest?”
The face of Ghost Seer was suddenly written with wrath. He snarled, “Even the people of the Divine Nest don’t have the nerve to talk to me like that. Today, I will suppress you and see what the superintendents of the Divine Nest can do to me.”
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and breathed.
A jet of inky light shot straight at Li Mu.
“When you can’t win verbally, you start to spit. How shameless!”
Li Mu had been on guard for this move.
He was in a good mood at this time, so he even bothered to use sarcasm, but he was quick with his hands as always.
When Li Mu raised a hand and beckoned, the broadsword and sword that had been tossed on the ground by the ponytailed girl rose to the air and zoomed into his hands. Then, he ran the Xiantian Skill and directly activated the ghost-suppressing talisman and the evil-slaying talisman on the broadsword and the sword.
Rays of light swirled.
The two Taoist magic talismans flew out from the blades of the weapons, flashing with a strange brilliance, and met the inky light coming from the opposite direction.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, the inky light collided with the talismans and turned into nothingness.
Powered with the Xiantian Skill, the ghost-suppressing and evil-slaying talismans Li Mu had cast were several times purer and more powerful than what Caicai had performed.
Ghost Seer protested, “This is not the Cultivation Method of the Divine Nest. You…”
“You’re really full of crap.”
With the broadsword in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, Li Mu once again started to run his Cultivation Method. In an instant, endless ghost-suppressing talismans and evil-slaying talismans shot out like signal flares.
“Watch carefully. Here comes the most proper way of casting the four great talismans,” Li Mu shouted.
He was demonstrating the real power and application of Taoist magic arts to Caicai, Ning Jing, and Dong Xue.
The three of them had gained some understanding of the special power of the old faker’s Taoist magic arts on the Ghost Rally Star, but it was safe to say that their comprehension could never surpass Li Mu’s.
After all, Li Mu had been studying these Taoist magic arts for decades.
Moreover, the purest Xiantian Skill was the best drive for Taoist talismans, which was not the Ghost Cultivation Method of the three of them could compare.
Seeing the unbelievable progress the three people had made, Li Mu was both staggered and gratified. But as their former guide and the one they deeply respected, he naturally couldn’t show any trace of cowardice and weakness when he made further moves to deal with the target.
Moreover, today, Li Mu intended to teach the real power of the old faker’s Taoist magic arts to the three of them, so he didn’t hold back any bit when he attacked.
Caicai and the other two people’s admiration for Li Mu was down to the marrow. Therefore, as they heard Li Mu’s words, they immediately opened their eyes wide to observe carefully as if they were primary school students waiting for their teacher’s arrangement.
The three had been practicing the adapted version of Xiantian Skill Li Mu had taught Caicai. Hence, they could comprehend more about the wonders and the way to operate the Taoist magic talismans that Li Mu was performing at this time.
As for the other ghost cultivators, they just watched Li Mu display the Taoist magic arts, but they couldn’t figure anything out.
Moreover, the strange power contained in the Taoist magic talismans had a special restraining effect on ghost cultivators. As a result, many ghost cultivators did not even dare to look at the glowing ghost-suppressing and evil-slaying talismans that were flying all over the sky.
Li Mu went all out.
Caicai’s stone broadsword, the Evil Slayer, and the stone sword, the Ghost Suppressor, as well as the Two Sages’ stone broadsword, the Devil Exterminator, and the stone sword, the Heaven Fighter, were all floating beside Li Mu at this moment. The tips of the weapons were pointed upward, while the handles were facing downward. The weapons continued to slowly revolve in the air.
Li Mu patted the blades of the swords and the broadswords at a steady pace.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
The fleshy palm collided with the blades of the stone swords and broadswords, generating crisp sounds.
Every time Li Mu patted the weapons, the four great Taoist magic talismans inscribed on the stone swords and broadswords flashed, and then shining Taoist figures flew out and darted toward the void.
In the blink of an eye, countless gleaming Taoist figures conjured by the four great talismans were floating in the void.
When the ghost cultivators on the ground looked up, they saw many flickering dots in the sky as if lonely stars in the vast universe. The starlight was partly invisible and partly visible, and they eventually converged into a galaxy.
“It’s just a cheap trick.”
Ghost Seer sneered.
The huge face opened his mouth high in the sky, and a nebula vortex suddenly came into being. A black hole had been formed, ready to devour the scattered glinting Taoist figures of the ghost-suppressing, the evil-slaying, the demon-exterminating, and the heaven-fighting talismans.
Li Mu laughed, then, added, “Though it’s a cheap trick, it’s more than enough to deal with you.”
As soon as he finished speaking—
The galaxy-like Taoist figures suddenly spread out like a mass of fireflies that suddenly scattered in all directions, forming a glowing net above the void with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Each shining Taoist figure was a link of the net, which diffused threads of light in all directions, which weaved together and formed a square net of light.
Since air could go through the net, it was difficult to exert force on it.
The black hole in the mouth of the huge face found it difficult to suck in this net.
“Accelerate!”
Li Mu randomly picked up the stone sword called Ghost Suppressor floating in front of him, pointed it to the sky, and shouted out the incantation that the old faker used when he put on a show of Taoist magic arts back then.
The shining net constituted by the glinting Taoist figures of the four great talismans immediately flipped up and neatly wrapped in Ghost Seer’s huge face that had covered the sky.
It looked like someone had suddenly put on a veil on his face.
However, this veil was kind of scary.
From the huge face of Ghost Seer that had blotted out the sky, ghastly white mists curled upward in an instant, followed by some sizzling noises, as though someone had pressed a heated iron stick against a chunk of pork.
“Ahhhhh…”
A blood-curdling scream rang out.
Even though Ghost Seer was a calculating man who was able to hatch unparalleled schemes and had willpower strong in the extreme, at this time, he still could not help but let out a miserable howl.
For those who had been infected by the Ghost Qi, this starlight net constituted by glinting Taoist figures of the four great Taoist magic talismans had a natural restraining and destructive impact.
The agony inflicted at this moment was absolutely unbearable even to those above the Holy Sage level.
“Junior, you’re courting death.”
Ghost Seer roared as his eyes snapped open. There seemed to be stars appearing and disappearing in his eyes. Rays of destructive light shot out from his eyes, penetrated the starlight net, and charged at Li Mu.
“It’s impolite not to return the favor.”
Li Mu was not scared at all.
He opened the Third Eye between his eyebrows as well.
The power of the Eye of Thunderbolts was activated. Thunder and lightning weaved and evolved. Surprisingly, they eventually produced numerous Taoist figures of the ghost-suppressing talisman, the evil-slaying talisman, the devil-exterminating talisman, and the heaven-fighting talisman composed of thunder and lightning. Like columns of light, the Taoist figures directly shot at the destructive ray of light.
Now that Li Mu’s Xiantian Skill had advanced to another level, not only had he obtained the Eye of Flaws, but the power of the previous Eye of Thunderbolts had also been enhanced. Now, the thunderbolts could also evolve into Taoist talismans. That was the biggest change.
The two beams of light collided in the air, and countless sparks flew out from the center of the collision as if two fireballs had met each other in the sky. The sparks shot all over the sky, making the collision look like the most beautiful but also deadly fireworks.
“Divine Eye?” Ghost Seer was startled, He then bawled, “So you’re really from the ‘Divine Nest’? Which superintendent do you answer to? You…”
“No one dares to ask me to answer to them! The superintendents all take my orders.”
Li Mu lied boldly. At the same time, he pointed the stone sword “Ghost Suppressor” at that huge face again.
“Accelerate!”
All of a sudden, the starlight net tightened its grip, making its lines sink into the muscles of Ghost Seer’s huge face that looked like black mountains hanging upside down in the air.
Streaks of terrible chasm-like gullies became more and more distinct.
Black raindrops began to fall from the sky. It was the “ghost blood” that fell from the huge face after his skin was cut by the starlight net.
“Ah…” Ghost Seer once more let out a cry of pain despite himself.
At the same moment, when he was distracted by the pain, the light column issued from Li Mu’s Eye of Thunderbolts instantly smashed the destructive light shot from his eyes before ruthlessly hitting on the forehead of Ghost Seer’s huge face.
“Rumble!”
There was an earth-shaking bam as if a meteorite had hit the planet.
Ghost Seer’s huge face, which had been gripped and cut by the starlight net, immediately collapsed when it was bombarded again. The huge face broke into huge chunks of black muscles and scattered in the sky.
The three Holy Sages stared blankly at the scene.
“Even he… has also been defeated?
“Er…”
Something in their hearts instantly shattered into pieces.
