For a moment, Li Mu didn’t know what to say.
At such a moment, he didn’t want to ask the Divine-winged Fox that question.
However, he remembered the tragic scenes that he saw in the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, Bai Jun the God of War and the nine-headed divine bird, who died to cover him, Li Tian, who was smashed to pieces, as well as thousands upon thousands of white-bone Resentful Spirits, and the smart Resentful Spirit King… At the thought of this, Li Mu felt as if his heart was fiercely grabbed by something.
Eventually, he asked Divine-winged Fox the question when he saw the latter.
It was about a tribe’s troubled history.
Countless compatriots preserved the tribe’s bloodline with their white bones, flesh and blood. The past could no longer be calculated by hatred.
It was about the dignity, space for survival, and lost glory of the tribe.
However, after he asked the question, the result was definitely not what he wanted to see.
Looking at the forced smile on Bi Yan’s face, Li Mu could almost feel her broken heart.
Both of them fell silent.
Something was breaking.
The distance between them was increasing.
An atmosphere of despair was spreading.
In a trance, Li Mu realized that it didn’t seem to be the first time that Bi Yan said goodbye to him.
Back then, when the young master of the Green Fox Tribe plotted against them in the main residence of the Green Fox Tribe, he helped Bi Yan activate the bloodline in her body. After she became a deity, her divinity replaced her human nature, her aura changed greatly, and she became as aloof as the Fairy of Ninth Heaven that had descended to the human world. At that time, she said something similar and talked about their separation.
However, it was different this time.
Li Mu clearly knew what the separation meant this time.
Bi Yan was destined to carry the fate of the Green Fox Tribe on her shoulders.
What about Li Mu?
He also had to take on responsibility for restoring the glory of the Dark Yellow Army.
The two tribes were destined to be irreconcilable. Even a god wouldn’t be able to resolve the feud between them.
The ancestors of the six major clans had obtained some divine blood of Bai Jun the God of War.
Once they integrated the divine blood into their bodies, they would obtain the power that could offset the Star Graveyard tactical deployment of the solar system.
When that time came, the troops of the six major clans would march straight into the solar system towards the Earth.
After the gods of the Dark Yellow Army sealed the chaotic battlefield and the solar system for thousands of years, the most terrifying war between the Dark Yellow Army and the six major clans was about to break out.
It might be the last battle between the two sides.
Given the current levels of technology, civilization, and underdeveloped martial arts on Earth, it was almost impossible for the people on Earth to defeat the ancestors and troops of the six major clans.
The situation was far more dangerous than before.
Li Mu knew very well that he had to start preparing for the coming war immediately after he returned to the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, the Heavenly Land, and the Earth.
The war would break out soon.
The time of outbreak of the war depended on the speed at which the ancestors of the six major clans integrated the divine blood.
However, one thing was for sure. The Dark Yellow Army and the Earth didn’t have much time left.
When the war really broke out, the Green Fox Tribe, as one of the major branches of the Heavenly Fox Clan, would undoubtedly join the war. After all, the war was closely related to its security and survival. Although Bi Yan was the Green Fox God, she could not reverse the historical trend. At that time, Li Mu and Bi Yan would fight for their own tribes. How much weight would love affairs hold in such a cruel and epic war?
Neither Li Mu nor Bi Yan was confident about that.
Li Mu wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word.
He fell silent and then suddenly took Bi Yan into his arms.
The practitioners of the Green Fox Tribe were dumbfounded, and the look on the Divine-winged Fox’s face changed slightly.
However, no one dared to say anything.
Bi Yan didn’t struggle at all.
Instead, she snuggled up in Li Mu’s arms obediently.
“No matter when it is, where you are, and how the world changes, I will never hurt you,” Li Mu said softly.
It was a man’s promise.
He did so because the woman in his arms once risked everything to save him, and in order to protect him, she was framed and almost died.
The sense of righteousness also included personal feelings.
“No matter how the world changes, I will never betray you even if the stars shift and the moon changes,” Bi Yan whispered softly.
It was a deity’s promise.
The man holding her in his arms had once risked his life to protect her and help her free herself from the control of the young master of the Green Fox Tribe.
However, in the face of their impending separation, their sonorous promises appeared to be so feeble and futile.
Li Mu slowly let go of Bi Yan. Looking at her peerlessly beautiful face and her clear and bright eyes, he said softly, “Promise me that you won’t shed tears from now on. I hope I can only see smiles in your eyes.”
Bi Yan smiled. Tears were about to gush from her eyes.
She tried to fight back tears.
Suddenly, Li Mu turned around and left.
He leaped into the air, standing on the blade of his broadsword.
“People in this world can’t always get what they want.”
Li Mu did not look back.
He knew that the girl was looking at him in a daze, but they would never see each other again.
He had no reason to take her away.
Even when Li Mu’s figure disappeared into the distant horizon, Bi Yan was still watching.
She was still looking into the distance as if she were waiting for that man to come back to her as he did when she was in great danger just now.
However, he did not come back.
Perhaps he would never come back.
Bi Yan’s smooth, beautiful hair was fluttering in the wind. She was silent, with a smile on her face.
She smiled silently just like that.
With his head lowered, the Divine-winged Fox felt a surge of pain in his heart.
There were so many wonderful things in the world, but lovesickness was the most painful thing.
Some people loved each other but could not be together. That was the most painful torture in the mundane world.
Half a month later.
Brilliance Immortal Star Region, Opposite Bank Star.
After a long journey, Li Mu’s interstellar shuttle finally landed at the first airport on the Opposite Bank Star.
“Mr. Li.”
Dressed in a tight suit of black armor, Shan Yunxiu immediately walked up to welcome Li Mu and the others very respectfully. She was a stunning woman with a beautifully slim figure.
This scene aroused the great curiosity of many outsiders at the airport.
Shan Yunxiu had taken full charge of the Shan family, the former largest family on the Opposite Bank Star, for half a year. With her beautiful look, decisiveness and high cultivation level, she attracted much attention from all parties on the Opposite Bank Star. In the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, she was also greatly renowned. It would be fair to say that she was a powerful woman with the greatest potentials in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. It was said that she was secretly supported by some great powers in the Ziwei Star Zone, and those who provoked this black rose had disappeared without exception.
Surprisingly, this mysterious black rose showed up at the airport and welcomed a young man in an almost obsequious manner.
“Who is this young man?
“Is he the young master of the large family in the Ziwei Star Zone that supports Shan Yunxiu?”
Some people wanted to get close to take a closer look, but the ghost-faced guards of the Shan family had cordoned off the airport. Many curious practitioners could only watch from the distance, but they and the other people behind them could not see the face of the white-robed young man clearly because it was covered by faint mist.
A few moments later, the visitors and hosts arrived at the mall hall of the Shan family’s mansion.
“Your Honor, the news of your return has been spread to the Ghost Rally Star. Marshal Ning Jing and his wife, as well as the Virgin Goddess Caicai, are on their way here. My brother is on a patrol in the air space of the Ghost Rally Star, so he might be back a little late.” Although Shan Yunxiu was a powerful woman who could make important decisions decisively like a queen in front of outsiders, she was extremely respectful to Li Mu.
Li Mu smiled and said, “Miss Shan, thank you for welcoming me in person. You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me.”
Then, he introduced Hua Xiangrong and the other companions.
While they were talking, a grey shadow darted in like a bolt of lightning.
“Woof! Woof! Woof! I heard that my human pet is back. Where is he?”
An arrogant and wretched voice rang out in the hall.
