Chapter 900 The Birthday Gift
In a town called Autumnbrook.
Sitting by the bend of River Fleding, the tiny little hamlet looked every bit the picturesque sight of a paradise village in a fairy tale with its breathtaking sceneries, especially during autumn, where reeds would sway in waves and the brown-red leaves scattered around the ground would drift lazily in the breeze.
Li Mu passed by this tranquil little settlement.
He stopped at the local tavern for food when he saw a boy who looked like he just lived all twelfth years of his living life in privation and destitution staggered through the entrance and stopped right there. He scanned the tavern before walking straight up to Li Mu. Without even a word, he fell to his knees and started to bow, knocking his head on the floorboards.
"Do we know each other?"
Li Mu could have sworn that he could find no inkling that Li Zhiyuan ever knew this boy before.
Gaunt and scrawny, th

"What is this?" The warrior with a pudgy fat-filled face twisted with horror. "A broken sword?! What kind of friend would present such a gift for someone's birthday!? At any rate, this is hardly auspicious at all! Heavens, is he an enemy?!" The band of warriors who came at Li Mu's behest began to shiver with fear. "A broken sword?! What kind of birthday gift is this?!" "Is this an attempt to humiliate the Grand Master? How dare they try such a stunt!? Seize them!" Guests and Sky Dragons all around the main gallery broke into a riotous uproar, turning what should have been a merry feast into a raucous mob. Lü Song looked at the ominous gift with a horrified expression twisting on his face. "T-This... The shards of the Sword of Divinity! This is the warning from Li Mu, the Aspect of Vengeance!" Horror gleamed in his eyes. With one swift arm, he seized the plump and st

A half-crescent moon shimmered up high in the night sky, surrounded by plumes of nimbuses floating lazily around it. About fifty miles still stood between Li Mu and the center of warriorship pilgrimage in the Northern Steppes, Rydorburg. His fyresteed was soundly asleep under an old pine tree, snoring very sonorously and leisurely. Since Li Mu liberated it from its former job of pulling carriages, it looked like it preferred to just carry him instead. "Hey, ha!" Shen Jia was just a few meters away, practicing his moves. Every punch and kick he delivered looked impeccable and strong enough -- a testament to how hard he has been training. When Li Mu decimated all the militant orders and sects which had once been complicit in the plot to kill him and his fellow Creed of Divinity acolytes, he did not neglect to plunder away their libraries and collections of tomes and volumes containing knowledge about combat techniques and

"That's impossible." The High Patriarch of the Priory of the Four Seas was at the main stronghold when he received word that Li Zhiyuan was sighted inside Rydorburg. All four of the Priory's Prelates have been secretly dispatched to assassinate him and the fact that he has arrived at Rydorburg while there was nothing but complete silence from the Four Prelates who should have been the ones coming back with Li Zhiyuan's head heralded a dreadful foreboding... "No... Never..." The Four Prelates were the Priory's best of the best, all four of them warriors of Class VIII. He could count with one hand the names of the individuals in all of the Northern Steppes who could pit against the Four Prelates as equals in single combat and Li Zhiyuan was definitely not one of them. Furthermore, all four of them were sent to assassinate one and only one target. Not even a Class IX warrior could fully escape from such a deadly force unsca

At Pink Alley off Crusade Avenue. Li Mu, with Shen Jia in tow, was stepping into Rose's Allure -- an establishment that sat right in the centermost area of Pink Alley -- with Mr. Wei, one of the overseers of Cloud Nine Lodge, leading and welcoming him inside. Anyone could tell at first glance that this was a pleasure house. And Shen Jia just wasn't pleased at all by the prospects of his sister's fate. Pink Street was known for being the red-light district of Rydorburg and almost all establishments of this trade in the city operated from here, where the proprietors and owners of the establishments here were most powerful and influential individuals and even sects and orders too. The Rose's Allure, for one, belonged to the Convent of the Pious Rose, another great militant order here of the Northern Steppes region. The Convent was an all-female organization, giving it an edge in handling matters pertaining to

The smile on Madam Gao's face evaporated as quickly as a wink, with all the warmth and friendliness that she once displayed now replaced by a cold and hostile countenance that just by standing near her, anyone could feel the chill emanating from her. "I know who you are, Aspect of Vengeance Li Zhiyuan. Your crusade all the way north until here has seen you both undefeatable and famous in these parts but make no mistake; the Convent of the Pious Rose is leagues beyond the Sky Dragons and the Aquilas. If you think that you can get away with causing trouble here at Rose's Allure, then you've got another thing coming. As part of a militant order, the management of Rose's Allure had clearly identified Li Mu the moment he stepped inside here. Li Mu smiled, hardly perturbed by the threat at all and hardly surprised that she knew who he was. "You've been a great host, Madam Gao," he said gently, "So I'll show you some courtesy. You have a quarter of an hou

The warriors and champions mobbing the outside of Rose's Allure shared furtive and strange looks when they saw that the pleasure house's last champion was nobody but an ordinary-looking male attendant in his late thirties. "If Reverend Carnage is dead, what makes Rose's Allure think that this male attendant can turn the tables against Li Zhiyuan?!" But those at the front of the mob heard his name being uttered. A name that if the others had heard, would immediately make them regret their doubt and skepticism. "Yan Nanfei?! Gosh... Could this really be him?!" "For decades he's vanished off the face of this world... I'd never believe that the once-strongest young prodigy of the Northern Steppes would be here, serving as a lowly male attendant if I did not see it myself... Heavens..." "What the hell is one of the Northern Steppe's most acclaimed and most admired wunderkind doing here?!" Peals of
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 907 The Messenger of Arcusstone
"You could have used the child's life to make Yan Nanfei stay, my lady. I refuse to believe that he would allow any danger to come to his own child." That was Wei Youya, the man many knew as the "Director" of the Convent of the Pious Rose. Only he could speak with such frankness to the irritable Canoness Superior and not suffer her wrath. The Canoness Superior was lazing on a chaise lounge with only a gossamer-veil robe that barely concealed her womanly curves. "It was only with her final order that we managed to keep him pinned here. Even so, he rather served as a male attendant at Rose's Allure than serve the Convent directly in the true capacity as a retainer. We know how headstrong he could be, and he's not stupid too. Ordinary tricks would never work on him anymore. If anything, I guess he might be stronger than he once was before." "Did he not just lose a duel against Li Zhiyuan?" "Yan Nanfei is a gif

When the female messenger of Arcusstone was cannonballed out of the room, Mr. Wei, who had helped to arrange the meeting, was left stunned beyond words. "LI -- ZHI -- YUAN!" Syllable after syllable, the young woman roared like a ferocious lioness on the hunt the moment she got back to her feet, her eyes set on the direction of the room from whence she was hurled out, flaring with rage. "One more word. One more word and you'll be dead. You're free to try me." Li Mu's steely cold voice reverberated quietly from inside the room. The young woman gulped hard. As if her throat was grasped in a vice-like grip, she could barely utter another sound let alone any coherent words. This was the first time in her short but proud life that she encountered a man who not only refused to balk at the mention of Arcusstone, but also hurled threats and abused at one of its agents! As a messenger of Arcusstone, this young lass h

Li Mu's cultivation nowadays was at the peak of the Golden Immortal, and his battle power could cut down the first generals.If one were to obtain a drop of Immortal Marrow, one could instantly leap into the peak of Immortal Generals, and at that time, even if one were to face an Immortal King, one would be able to defeat him in battle, not to mention traversing across the major state capitals, even if it was the entire Eastern Sacred Continent, the heavens and the earth were vast, and one could go to it.At that time, it would be like a fish out of water to find Wang Shiyu, Hua Wanyong, and the others.At that thought, Li Mu immediately became desirous of this Immortal Marrow."One drop of Immortal Marrow, one great realm, so if a bottle of Immortal Marrow were all swallowed, wouldn't it directly soar into the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Emperor or even Immortal Lord realm?" Li Mu said.Xia Jing was stunned and then giggled."I didn't expect that

Uh-huh?What a scene of déjà vu.Li Mu all of a sudden, remembered the legendary Liu Huangshu Baidicheng entrusted the orphan.It's a pity that the Emperor is not Uncle Liu.And Li Mu is not Zhuge Kongming.Li Mu said indifferently, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can make a dao oath that I won't taint the imperial power of Huangji Cliff for the rest of my life.""Cough cough cough ......" the emperor coughed, hastily said: "I ...... am not using words to frame you, I... ...In the chaotic world, there is no strength, sooner or later ...... sooner or later is the death ...... of the disaster ...... wood brother you if you are the emperor, or you may be able to ...... preserve a trace of my bloodline, I ......"Li Mu said, "Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, but my words remain the same, I will never dye the royal fist, Emperor Chen will be a bright ruler."The emperor sighed and said, "I understand ...... all ...... all stand down ....

Reimu smiled.Snap your fingers.Phew.A golden stream of light flashed by.Emperor Zhen, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, his voice came to an abrupt end, and his hands covered his neck, a splash of blood seeped out, followed by golden flames, which spewed out from his body."You ...... you dare to kill me?"He looked at Li Mu incredulously and eventually turned into a puff of flying ash.In the great hall, there was an instant dead silence.The horrific images, although they had ended, the aftermath was still like a hurricane, still madly hitting everyone's nerves over and over again.Prince Wood actually went out and killed someone?He actually made a move?Killing a royal son with royal blood flowing in his body right here in this great hall?He dared.He really dared.All the ministers felt that their bodies were cold, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, like the cold winter of the t

The other ministers in the hall, hearing such words, could not help but look at Zheng Yuan with shocked gazes.The so-called Emperor Tatsu's son is a wild seed, this kind of thing, if you don't explode it sooner or later, and you don't explode it at this time, what is the intention?Besides, it's not certain whether it's true or not.Saying such words in such an important meeting of the court was tantamount to slapping the emperor's face in public and rubbing the emperor's majesty, on the ground.What a nerve.On one side, Servant Yin's face changed wildly as she shook her head and argued, "No, it's not like that, Chen'er is His Majesty's child ...... "When the Emperor intended to set up Emperor Chen as the Crown Prince just now, she vaguely realized that this was a dangerous signal, the treacherous darkness of the palace court was not something she could resist as a small servant girl.But I didn't expect the slander and danger to come so

"Tatsu-chan!"Servant Yin was filled with a huge surprise in her chest and subconsciously rushed over to the little boy and held him in her arms."Mother, you're here too ...... Mother, I've seen father."The little boy dug into Squire Yin's arms with delight.His first words had to do with his parents.But many snickers resounded clearly and audibly in the great hall.Although no one said anything, the meaning was clear: 'Father' is a word you call, too?Servant Yin, however, didn't pay that much attention.In the instant she saw her son, her heart, without the slightest bit of nervousness or panic, held her son firmly in her arms, and the only thought in her entire life and soul at that moment was to protect her son at all costs."Do not make a noise and stand aside."The Grand Eunuch opened his mouth to chide.The little boy then kept his mouth tightly shut.He was foolish and hadn't seen much of the world, b

A cold aura flickered.A sword to the death.The sharp sword was about to pierce the young maid's brow.Just then, a sudden change occurred.Suddenly space and time seemed to freeze, and the black-clothed assassin realized that his immortal sword, after all, was no longer able to progress the slightest bit.What's going on?He was alarmed in his mind.And yet the next moment--Ding!The sword body incredibly broke apart and turned into countless shards.The tip of the sword flew backward and penetrated the black-clothed assassin's throat.Before the blood could soar out, his body erupted into a ball of golden flames, which then turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.The little maid looked at what was in front of her in shock.In that moment just now, she thought she was bound to die.It turned out to be the assassin who died.Who saved me?She gasped in horror and looked arou

The Emperor was sitting on the throne of the Nine to Five, a little tired.The fact that he was poisoned was not revealed to the public.So until now, no one has known.But the toxin was eating away at his body so frantically that his energy was declining so much that his entire body felt extremely tired at all times.The sound of ministers' ears arguing seemed near and far away in the ear.The hand-wringing Prince Tatsu was led by the great eunuch and stood on the side of the dragon chair.Eight or nine year old boy, for the first time out of that small compound, face full of fear, timid, like a small goat caught in a wolf pack, not knowing what to do, lowered his head, twisted the corner of his coat, did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.This look, in the eyes of the ministers, is even more unbearable."Your Majesty's intention to establish a Crown Prince is a major event, and should not be done in haste, perhaps it should

The little boy did not return until late afternoon.The young maid tried to inquire about the news several times, but was mercilessly stopped by the palace's close guards guarding the entrance of the firewood courtyard.She had been until, herself, she was secluded.This alarmed the young maid even more.What the hell is going on?What kind of terrible things would Tatsu'er face if he went to the palace?The Empress and the Noble Consorts, they won't poison him, will they?Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen'er to the palace?She speculated in her mind in fear, her tears were like a fountain that she could not control at all.It's a mother's love for her son.Humble but great love.Kneeling on both knees in the courtyard, she looked up at the Hao Sun that was gradually setting in the sky, and at the silver full moon that had already risen, shedding tears and silently praying with her life and soul."Tatsu'e
The Divine Martial Stars Chapter 1228 Prince Tatsu
The Emperor was at the half-step Golden Immortal level of cultivation, and although this realm was forcefully instilled with various resources and secret techniques, the realm was enough after all.The lifespan of a half-step Golden Immortal could be more than five thousand years.So the Emperor never thought that he would have to face death head on, so soon."It's so ...... ungrateful."He smiled bitterly on his face and sighed deeply on the inside.But in the end, you have to face reality.The biggest problem to consider today was who should inherit the throne of Huangji Cliff after his death.He had only ascended the throne as emperor for just over two years, and because he was diligent in his political affairs and too young, he had not even considered the matter of the succession of the throne.In the harem, there are but one wife and two concubines.These three women were not his true love, but were allied for the sake of pr
