The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 629 - Holy Sage Black Sun

Chapter 629 Holy Sage Black Sun

“We pay our respects to Holy Sage.”

The three Ghost Lords of the three major ghost sects—namely Niu Ben, the head of the Lost Land, and Xue Yan—all bowed to the ball of black ghost fire in the sky.

The ghost cultivators of the three major ghost sects also inclined their bodies to show their respect.

On the Ghost Rally Star, the commanders of the Three Divine Sects possessed unparalleled majesty.

Even some of the ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain showed a trace of fear and awe as they looked up at the ball of black ghost fire in the sky.

Even a Ghost General elder like Zhen Ye felt intimidated, let alone other ghost cultivators.

“He came too soon.” Zhen Ye murmured in a low voice. A trace of despair was swirling in his eyes.

The heads of the Three Divine Sects were all known as the Holy Sage. They had not made a move in public for ages, but it was indisputable that their strikes had become insurmountably detrimental. It had also become an iron law that had been imprinted on the hearts of all the ghost cultivators.

The great ambition of the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain had attracted countless ghost cultivators to join their ranks. Yet, it was undoubtedly against the will of the Three Divine Sects.

Zhen Ye and the others originally thought that even if the Three Divine Sects opposed the great ambition, they would not have taken action so soon. Zhen Ye and the others still hoped that the Bone Sacred Mountain could “lay low and thrive in secret” for some time.

However, in less than one month after the war broke out, a Holy Sage from the Three Divine Sects already showed up to intervene.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at the ball of black ghost fire.

The energy fluctuation it was emitting was indeed immensely powerful.

If to measure this Holy Sage’s strength according to the cultivation system in the world of the living, this Holy Sage was at least at the peak of the General Realm, or even in the King Realm.

In the face of a cultivator with such strong cultivation, Li Mu would still feel threatened even when he was in his peak state.

Now that one Holy Sage was already this strong, then, if the three Holy Sages all came here... things would be really tricky.

According to Li Mu’s current observation, if the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain joined forces, they might be able to fight against one Holy Sage. But if the other two Holy Sages of the Three Divine Sects were also here, the Bone Sacred Mountain would be doomed... unless the Bone Sacred Mountain had some other trump cards they hadn’t used.

Of course, such trump cards did not include Li Mu himself.

Because Li Mu had concealed his power very well during his stay in the Bone Sacred Mountain. It was clear that the Two Sage still had no idea about the arrival of Li Mu, their old friend.

So, Li Mu decided to sit back and watch for the time being and only make his move at the crucial moment.

At this time, in the sky, the ball of black ghost fire opened his mouth again and said, “Those on the Ghost Rally Star are all members of the ghost clan. There is no need to fight and kill our own men. Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain, as long as you follow the tradition of our Ghost Rally Star and don’t make any more trouble, I will mediate this big battle and put this dispute to an end. You can still run the Bone Sacred Mountain and will be recognized by other sects on the Ghost Rally Star. What do you say?”

When this Holy Sage spoke, everyone was surprised to hear that he had adopted an unexpectedly gentle tone.

The woman sage replied with a hint of mockery in her voice, “Oh? The tradition of all generations? What’s that?”

“As long as you present the cultivation method of the Bone Sacred Mountain to the Three Divine Temples as the common property of the entire ghost clan on the Ghost Rally Star, and swear that you are willing to follow the alliance agreement reached by the major ghost sects 10,000 years ago, you would be regarded to have respected the tradition. Then, this fierce war can draw to an end for good,” said Holy Sage Black Sun.

“Hahahaha!” The woman sage threw back her head and laughed out loud.

After finishing laughing, the woman sage’s expression abruptly turned cold. In a tone as sharp as a knife, she said, “You take someone else’s cultivation method, occupy the best resources, and treat the other ghost cultivators as dirt. Is this the so-called tradition of your three divine temples? It’s just an excuse for you to strip and exploit all the other ghost cultivators in the world. This time, you’ve eyed on the Ghost Cultivation Method of our Bone Sacred Mountain. That’s why you secretly egged those Ghost Lords on to seize our Cultivation Method. Yet, you still have the face to make your little plot sound so dignified. I strongly advise you to go home and take a good look at yourself in the mirror to see if the word ‘shameless’ is written on your forehead.”

Holy Sage Black Sun sighed and said, “How stupid! You’re just a woman after all.”

He then looked at the man sage of the Two Sages of the Bone Sacred Mountain and said, “Your wife insists on bringing the 100,000 ghost cultivators of the Bone Sacred Mountain to destruction. As the real master of the Bone Sacred Mountain and a great male ghost, don’t you feel the need to pull at the reins and stop her?”

Countless pairs of eyes immediately landed on the man sage.

By this time, the black Ghost Qi around the man sage had also been suppressed. People now saw that he was cladding a very simple brocade robe, and his heroic face carried the air of good nature and loyalty.

He was pretty young.

And he was also very quiet.

Before, it was the woman who took all the moves and made all the remarks. From the beginning to now, the man sage hadn’t taken any action except for taking a step forward to resist the pressure side by side with the woman sage after the Holy Sage Black Sun appeared. It was as if he were the shadow of the woman sage.

After hearing the words of the Holy Sage Black Sun, the man sage slowly opened his mouth and said, “Her will is my will.”

After that, he didn’t say anything else.

All the surrounding ghost cultivators were sort of speechless.

“People say that a wife is her husband’s echo. But in their case, it’s the opposite.”

“Could it be that this man sage is not as powerful as his wife and so he is henpecked?”

With that thought in mind, many ghost cultivators subconsciously thought light of the man sage.

But unlike them, Li Mu, who was on the ground, laughed in private.

This was just the character of the man sage.

Back on the Divine Land, this couple was also like this. The wife called all the shots, and the husband was his wife’s most firm supporter and defender.

“I’ll give you one last chance.”

There was a note of oppression in the tone of Holy Sage Black Sun.

As he spoke, the entire sky gradually dimmed, and shapeless black ghost mist filled the air, as if a sea of black clouds were pressing down on the city. Indescribable pressure started to bear down on the earth. The ghost cultivators around the battlefield suddenly found that their breath seemed to have quickened. Although the ghost cultivators did not need to breathe because they were half-dead, this pressure reminded them of the suffocating feeling of being seized by the neck when they were alive.

“If you want my Young Master’s Cultivation Method, you can exchange your life for it.” The woman sage’s attitude was very simple and steely.

When she said the words “my Young Master”, there was a special sense of pride in her voice.

The man sage remained silent, quietly but firmly supporting his wife.

Around the two sages, there were also layers of black Ghost Qi rippling and spreading between heaven and earth, which were released to resist the aura of Holy Sage Black Sun. The black Ghost Qi soon covered all the ghost cultivators in the camp of the Bone Sacred Mountain and kept them in protection.

Holy Sage Black Sun seemed to be extremely compassionate as he heaved with a sigh. Then, he remarked, “You people who have already died once are still so ridiculous and ignorant. Still insist on dragging 100,000 ghost cultivators to die with you... I originally had high hopes for you. But you just have to pick the wrong way. In this case, I will let you know what the consequences of going against the Three Divine Sects are... The extermination of heaven and earth, the imprisonment of all ghosts!”

Before his voice faded—

The laws of heaven and earth started to function.

The space around the Two Sages seemed to be frozen up in an instant.

Even the surrounding ghost cultivators felt that they had become snails trapped in a swamp and were unable to move.

“Kill them.”

The voice of Holy Sage Black Sun was cruel and icy cold.

The three Ghost Lords—Head of the Holy Ghost Sect, Head of the Heavenly Ghost Sect, and Head of the Lost Land—bowed their heads and took the order. Then, regardless of their injuries, they rushed to the army of the Bone Sacred Mountain on the ground. With their strength, they could basically crush and butcher these ordinary ghost cultivators trapped in the freezing curse.

“Crap!”

The Ghost General elder, Zhen Ye, saw that things had gone bad and shouted, “Retreat, retreat now!”

With a strange brilliance bursting out from his whole body, he was ready to fight to the death. At the same time, he reached out to push Li Mu away, who was supposed to stand next to him, saying, “Brother, you are still young... Hurry up, you gotta keep going... eh?”

When he reached out his hand, all he grabbed was the air.

When Zhen Ye turned his head, he found that Li Mu was long gone.

Because Li Mu had already rushed out.

“Back off, all of you.”

As Li Mu was charging forward, he hacked his broadsword.

In an instant, Zhen Ye and the other ghost cultivators suddenly felt that the pressure on them subsided a lot.

It turned out that Li Mu had actually broken some of the restrictive enchantments with his broadsword.

At the same time, the Ghost Head Broadsword in his hand was already confronting the fist of the head of the Lost Land.

“How arrogant of you... Go to hell!”

The killing intent burst out of the eyes of the head of the Lost Land.

He had long wanted to kill Li Mu. He had launched a sneak attack against him before, but that had been intercepted by the Two Sages. Now, seeing that Li Mu had taken the initiative to rush over to him recklessly, his heart was burning with killing intent again. As the power of the Ghost-rinsing Killing Fist erupted, he was determined to bombard Li Mu into ashes with one move.

“Clink!”

The blade met the fist radiance.

Li Mu was sent flying backward.

But the head of the Lost Land showed a look of surprise on his face.

Because not only had he failed to bombard Li Mu to death, but there was a white dent on his fist.

“You’ve been seriously injured. But you still dare to kill me?”

Li Mu tumbled about in the air. It seemed that he had lost his balance, but in fact, he had got everything under control.

In truth, he launched that strike with some reservation and so hadn’t revealed his real strength.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the Two Sages of Bone Sacred Mountain took action.

All of a sudden, dazzling black brilliance burst out around the woman sage. Then, a jade-colored stone sword materialized in her hand. She pulled back the sword and then stabbed, breaking free from the imprisonment of Holy Sage Black Sun. The sword light shot to the sky and went straight at Holy Sage Black Sun. She had directly attacked the giant who had suppressed the Ghost Rally Star for tens of thousands of years!

The man sage’s figure flashed. The next moment, he appeared on the ground, holding a stone broadsword. Then, he swung it out.

“Puff!”

“Aargh...”

With “Ghost Blood” erupting from their bodies, Niu Ben and Xue Yan were both sent flying. They were almost killed by this single strike.

“Go back. Leave this to me.” The man sage appeared beside Li Mu and gently patted him on the shoulder.

This man was still as taciturn and reliable as he was in old days. And his tone was still so unassuming and approachable.

Regardless, it was obvious that he had not recognized Li Mu.

Li Mu nodded and stepped back.

He decided to wait a bit longer to see how things would go.

The strength that the Two Sages suddenly revealed was even more impressive than what Li Mu had imagined.

He wanted to see what their trump cards were on earth.

With Li Mu, Zhen Ye, and others covering for them, the ground army of the Bone Sacred Mountain kept retreating and eventually returned to the Bone Sacred Mountain. They quickly switched on a ghost tactical deployment to block the suppression coming from heaven and earth. This tactical deployment could also resist the swarms of the ghost enemies coming after them.

Up in the sky.

The jade-colored stone sword in the woman sage’s hand was quite unique. It seemed to have a natural restraint on ghost cultivators. Her sword-using method was also exquisite. It was the Heaven Sword Thirty-six Styles. For moments, it seemed that the woman could really rival Holy Sage Black Sun.

Many ghost cultivators were flabbergasted when they saw this.

It was utterly unbelievable.

Was this the real strength of the woman sage?
