Chapter 622 - Ghost Rally Star (1/2)
Li Mu had been secretly paying attention to everything going on on the Immortal Net.
Did he feel good?
Of course, he did.
The drastic ups and downs of life were just thrilling.
Li Mu felt particularly good when he saw the private messages saying how sorry and grateful the cultivators were, as well as the copper-colored or silver-colored fairy crystals offered by many as individual compensations. What was more, a voice message praising him had been “dug up” and placed at the top of the forum. To cap it all, the Darkness-repelling Sword, Feng Liusheng, and several other anti-Li diehards had openly apologized on the forum…
Li Mu was quite enjoying himself.
He had scored wealth and reputation at one go.
At this time, on the Immortal Net, all kinds of comments about going on a punitive expedition against the Tianyi Palace as well as the compliments on Li Mu were going into a state of frenzy.
“I will make it up to Li Mu with my humble power… Yet, there is one thing I’m sure of. No matter what, the Tianyi Palace has to pay for the abhorrent things they’ve done. They must make compensations to Li Mu and the victims on South Street. As the real murderers, it’s the least they should do.”
The Darkness-repelling Sword showed up again and launched an advocation.
His statement was approved by countless people.
“Make it up to Li Mu.”
“Give us an explanation…”
“The souls of the dead on the South Street can’t rest in peace.”
“The Tianyi Palace must compensate for slandering Li Mu.”
“If anyone dares to speak ill of the Wild Broadsword in the future, I will fight him to the death.”
“I am family of a victim who died on the South Street. My father was killed on that rainy night. I so regret that I had failed to recognize the truth and blacked Li Mu’s name in the past few days. But, from today on, I will become the defender of the Wild Broadsword and trust him unconditionally!”
“While everyone was cursing and mocking him, he silently put up with the immense pressure and became the first to think of a way to comfort the victims on the South Street within his capacity… He is a great pioneer who has awakened the righteous power in this Star Region.”
The discussion on the forum of the Immortal Net was getting more and more heated.
Li Mu silently logged out of the Immortal Net.
At this time, it would be best that Li Mu did not make any remark.
When things were done, the hero should take departure without caring for fame and fortune.
Li Mu decided to let the comments on the forum ferment for a little longer.
Right not, Li Mu was already planning on his trip to the Ghost Rally Star.
In order to attain some Ghost Cultivation Methods and help Yu Hualong, Wu Ming, and others start to cultivate, Li Mu had to pay a visit to this planet that was also called the “netherworld”.
That was already part of Li Mu’s plan when he entered the universe.
The first thing Li Mu did when he stepped into the universe was to keep out wind and rain for the Mount Shu Sect by drawing all focus on himself so as to buy time for the Mount Shu Sect’s future development.
Now, he had done a perfect job.
Not only had he bought time for the Mount Shu Sect to recuperate, but he had also successfully diverted the focus of the conflict, and turned the tide in the most incredible manner in history. He had transformed from a butcher that everyone hated to the greatest sage the Brilliance Immortal Star Region had had in the past thousand years and made himself the moral example.
In the future, even if Li Mu knocked on a widow’s door in the dead of the night, others would not surmise that he was going to take advantage of the widow. Instead, they would think that Li Mu was really going to comfort the widow and talk about her dreams.
This was one of the good things about becoming a moral example.
Anyway, from this day on, whoever wanted to discredit, frame, or stand on the moral high ground to criticize Li Mu, would have to weigh their strength. Otherwise, they were likely to go for wool and come home shorn.
It could be said that Li Mu’s current status was sort of transcendent in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.
Many people no longer cared much about his sinner identity.
The first stage of his plan that he had made before stepping into the universe had been completed. Now, he should move on to the second stage, which was to find the Ghost Cultivation Method as soon as possible.
The first thought that came to Li Mu was to purchase a couple of books on the Ghost Cultivation Methods, which could save him a lot of time and energy.
But after a thorough search, the result took Li Mu by surprise.
Even with his current silver VIP card, he couldn’t find any Ghost Cultivation Methods on the Immortal Net.
This was quite weird.
Therefore, the only way he had was to take Second Senior Fellow Apprentice and Ding Yi along with him to explore the Ghost Rally Star in person.
But to their surprise, there was no Star Posthouse within a radius of a million miles around the Ghost Rally Star. Nor could they directly land on that planet through any Teleportation Deployment.
Hence, after thinking things over, Li Mu had no choice but to once again rent a space shuttle and cross the void to get to the Ghost Rally Star.
The planet closest to the Ghost Rally Star was a sixth-class star called the Opposite Bank Star. There were several Interstellar docks on it. One could find space shuttles of all sizes and types to be rented there, including the long-distance kind that could fly tens of millions of miles after getting a one-time supply.
However, when renting the space shuttle, Li Mu encountered some small difficulties.
Hearing that the three were heading for the Ghost Rally Star, most boatmen and captains turned pale at once. No matter how high the payment Li Mu offered, they just shook their heads and refused.
“That planet is where the dead gather, a forbidden place for the living. Once a living person enters, there is no way for him to come back alive.”
Some kind-hearted people cautioned Li Mu.
They told him that the Ghost Rally Star was extremely dangerous.
In the end, a medium-sized space shuttle named “Sword of Freedom” accepted Li Mu’s offer and set off from the number one dock of the Opposite Bank Star, sailing into the vast universe and heading for dangerous Ghost Rally Star.
The captain of the Sword of Freedom was surnamed Shan, and his name was Tian. He was a lineal member of the Shan family, the most powerful family on the Opposite Bank Star. He was a generous and hearty middle-aged man, tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. At a glance, one could tell that he was an uncalculating and sentimental person who had earned the support of a large number of loyal fellows.
“If it weren’t for the fact that you’re Li Mu, I wouldn’t have taken this deal.” Shan Tian laughed and said with deep admiration, “But you’re Li Mu, the Wild Broadsword. So, no matter how dangerous it is, I’ll send you to the place you want to go.”
Li Mu didn’t expect that the little bit of fame he had just gained could be “cashed” in such a short time.
