I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm
Chapter 577 - 318: Tier Seven True Dragon
The White Whale Demon Emperor broke the pre-battle agreement, and Li Mu would certainly not wait idly by.
At the critical moment, with a "Zila!" sound, a pair of Thunder Wings unfolded behind Li Mu, and with a sweep of his wings, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Instead of retreating, Li Mu advanced. At the moment when the giant sea hand was about to smash down, he flashed past like a thunder shadow, appearing high in the sky.
With a deafening "boom," the massive sea hand fiercely slammed down towards the island, instantly shattering the entire island into pieces, leaving nothing behind.
For a moment, the entire sea realm was tumultuous like a raging storm.
"Demon Emperor, if you’re going to cheat, I won’t fight with you!"
Li Mu, with his Thunder Wings spread, hovered in the air, looking down at the White Whale Demon Emperor who was riding the waves, speaking indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the White Whale Demon Emperor’s originally cyan-black face immediately turned deep red with anger and spite. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Two daoist friends, let’s talk things over, there’s no need for such anger. Why don’t I act as a mediator, and we can discuss any conflicts and resolve them by sitting down?"
At this time, a kindly voice interjected, suggesting.
The only Void Refining Cultivator present, the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Stars Sect, suddenly spoke, intervening in the battle between the two.
"Chen Xuan old man, you came just in time. This brat, along with that demon flood dragon, slaughtered my kin and robbed our precious treasure. If I don’t get an explanation, my White Whale Race will mobilize our full force, urging the entire Sea Race to threaten the Human Race and completely wipe out your Ten Thousand Stars Sect!" The White Whale Demon Emperor glared at Chen Xuanzi who had spoken, uttering hatefully.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanzi felt a chill down his spine, deeply regretting having interjected into this mess.
"Demon Emperor, please calm down. This young friend may just be a passing Human Race cultivator, not stationed permanently in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars. This matter has nothing to do with the Human Race cultivators of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars!" Chen Xuanzi glanced at Li Mu, having roughly guessed his identity, dared not offend him, and persuaded the White Whale Demon Emperor.
A Five Elements Cultivator, armed with a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure, with unmatched combat power, has successively killed Void Refining Cultivators: Ancestor Demon Xueming, Ancestor Yin Jiong, and Ancestor Kumu of the Ji Family. Both the Nine Demons Sect and the Ji Family have placed high bounties on him at the Celestial Secret Tower, the renowned ’Sword Immortal Li’, who is also an Artifact Refining Grandmaster.
"Predecessor, you have sharp eyes. I am indeed a passing cultivator. Shameless Demon Emperor, if you want to fight, just come at me. Why involve others?" Li Mu praised Chen Xuanzi with a sentence.
After speaking, Li Mu looked down aloofly at the White Whale Demon Emperor.
"If you dare to falsely accuse and involve the innocent, believe me, I’ll slaughter your entire White Whale Race!" Li Mu coldly stared at the White Whale Demon Emperor, his eyes revealing intense killing intent.
"You!"
The White Whale Demon Emperor was fuming with rage. If his Sky Control skills were not somewhat inferior, he would have eagerly rushed up to battle Li Mu again, to obliterate this arrogant human cultivator.
Never expected this killing star to have such heavy murderous intent, daring to threaten to slaughter the White Whale Race, one of the major races among the Sea Race!
However, recalling that this young master dared to kill Void Refining Ancestors of both the Nine Demons Sect and the Ji Family, a massacre of a Sea Race might not just be idle boasts.
Hearing Li Mu’s words, Chen Xuanzi was startled and quickly advised: "Both of you, let’s talk things over, let’s talk things over."
After a pause, Chen Xuanzi looked at the White Whale Demon Emperor, advising cautiously: "Demon Emperor, this young friend is well renowned in both Central State and the Southern Wilderness. The sect backing him is not something your White Whale Race can afford to provoke. Even in the Nascent Soul Stage, his strength can rival yours. If he advances to the next realm, a massacre of the White Whale Race wouldn’t be empty talk, don’t assume what Friend Li said is just empty words."
Upon hearing this, the White Whale Demon Emperor’s expression changed slightly, immediately becoming cautious, contemplating deeply on Chen Xuanzi’s words.
Having personally fought that Nascent Soul youngster, no one understood his prowess better than the White Whale Demon Emperor. Such formidable power at such a young age indicates extraordinary backing. Forming a deep enmity with such an adversary in the future might bring catastrophic disaster to the White Whale Race!
Li Mu gave Chen Xuanzi a meaningful glance, and couldn’t help but admire the old guy’s high emotional intelligence. It was not surprising that he recognized Li Mu’s origin, and his spontaneous mention of the powerful backing was like divine insight.
If Li Mu wasn’t fully aware of his own situation, he might have believed his words.
"Demon Emperor, it’s better to resolve enmity than to perpetuate it. I think it would be wise to turn this matter into friendship, avoiding more kin deaths because of this incident." Seeing the serious expression on the White Whale Demon Emperor, Chen Xuanzi continued to persuade.
A flicker of consideration flashed across the White Whale Demon Emperor’s face. He raised his head to glance at the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon undergoing tribulation crossing, then looked at Li Mu, speaking sternly: "The matter of that demon flood dragon slaughtering thousands of my kin, I can let go. But it stole the treasure our race guards; you must order it to return it. Otherwise, you’ll face relentless pursuit!"
"Friend Li, what do you think?" Chen Xuanzi looked at Li Mu, inquiring about his stance.
Li Mu pondered for a moment, then calmly responded: "As for whether the treasured item was stolen by Qing Yue, it’s not easy to conclude. This matter cannot be judged based solely on the one-sided words of the White Whale Demon Emperor. Let’s discuss after my companion completes the Thunder Tribulation."
After a brief pause, Li Mu looked oddly at the White Whale Demon Emperor, smiling as he said: "As for the claim that Qing Yue slaughtered the White Whale kin, I do not agree. Both you and I are living beings, hunting, killing, and devouring fruits and nuts is a natural thing. Where does revenge come into play? If you only devoured the Human Race cultivators of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars for sustenance, I would have nothing to say."
