As the way out was blocked, Li Mu slowed down.

Fairy Shuiyue was very powerful and Li Mu was already seriously injured. For a moment, it was difficult for him to break through the barrier.

Moreover, Cloud Light Saintess and Lei Cang reacted very quickly. They moved swiftly and formed a triangle with Fairy Shuiyue that trapped Li Mu.

“Are you that mortal called Li Mu? How dare you come to rescue the head of the traitorous devils? Do you want to die?”

Lei Cang stared at Li Mu, his eyes flashing with a vicious cold killing intent.

Just now, when he tried to kill Bi Yan with his thunder halberd, Li Mu grabbed his halberd and made his plan fall flat. Deep inside, he already crossed out Li Mu’s name and wanted to kill Li Mu. If it had not been for the fact that he was slightly intimidated by Li Mu’s power just now, he would have made a killing move directly.

“In my opinion, this mortal is a mole for the traitorous devils. He deserves to die a thousand times.” Cloud Light Saintess’s voice sounded as cold as an icicle. She had long wanted to kill Li Mu. When she first caught sight of him, she had a feeling that they were naturally incompatible with each other.

Holding Bi Yan in his arms, Li Mu regulated his breath while trying to come up with an escape plan.

“Li Mu, you’d better hand over that demonic woman to us. Do you want to keep the two keys to yourself? That’s ridiculous.” Fairy Shuiyue from the Mist Clan hovered in the air. The size of the New Moon Wheel was constantly changing. At one moment, the New Moon Wheel was about the size of a grain of sand, but at another moment, it became as big as a mountain. Its size changed in a very subtle and mysterious way as the mind of Fairy Shuiyue changed. She said in a tone that brooked no questions, “You should know that if a person is too greedy, he will die from overeating in the end.”

She thought that Li Mu meddled in this matter because he wanted to take the key away from Bi Yan.

The fact that Li Mu had come to this space through other channels indicated that he had obtained a key after killing a leader of the traitorous devils.

Li Mu said calmly, “I can give you the key, but I can’t give her to you because she’s my friend.”

“Hah, your friend?” Cloud Light Saintess sneered, as if she had just heard a funny joke. “Are you out of your mind? How can you make friends with this leader of the traitorous devils? It seems that you really are a traitor who is on the traitorous devils’ side. You’d better surrender right now. Do you think you can break out of our encirclement?”

Li Mu took a deep breath and said, “Let’s make a deal. You want the keys, don’t you? As long as you let her go, I can give you these two keys.”

Upon hearing that, Lei Cang threw back his head and laughed aloud, his eyes full of contempt. “Ha-ha-ha, you lowly mortal! Do you think you’re qualified to make deals with us almighty gods just because you’ve got a key fragment? Are you able to keep it? As long as we can kill you, it will be ours… You haven’t figured out the situation you’re in. What a pity!”

“Almighty gods?”

Li Mu couldn’t help laughing.

“You really don’t know what’s good for you… You’ve been trapped in your own plot of land for so many years. You must have become stupid because of that. If you could become a god by talking rubbish, you would have already become the king of gods. Unfortunately, you’re just not powerful enough to kill me and take away my treasures.”

A person’s compromise might cause the other party to think that he was easy to bully.

Li Mu began to talk tough.

Lei Cang’s face looked cold and malicious.

While they were talking, a new change took place in this space. Cold Ghost Qi permeated the air, gusts of chilly wind started to blow across, and a spooky black fog rolled in. The smell of death spread in all directions, as if the gates of hell had been opened.

The successor of the Ghost Clan arrived.

He was a top master.

The situation became more dangerous.

Li Mu groaned silently.

“The ancestors of the six major clans are really trashy.

“They were defeated by the successor of the Ghost Clan again.

“Athanasia Taoist Child and the Immortal Taoist have not turned up yet.

“Only they can say a few words that carry some weight and bring a little hope, but they’re not here.

“As more and more masters show up, it will become increasingly difficult for me to get out of here.

“When the war ends, the news about what’s happened here will spread, and more masters from various sects and clans will gather here. Most of them are the descendants of gods, so I can’t waste any time.”

Li Mu thought for a while and realized that it was already very difficult for him to break out of the encirclement.

“Humph! Are you going to betray your race for a woman? That’s a damn stupid thing to do.”

The successor of the Ghost Clan was shrouded in the ghostly mist. His face could not be seen clearly, and his voice sounded like that of a ghostly owl instead of that of a living person.

“You’re Li Mu, right? Hand over that woman and kill yourself to show your repentance so that your relatives and friends will not be implicated. Otherwise, I’m afraid that there will be more delicious souls in the Ghost Domain!”

The successor of the Ghost Clan threatened Li Mu in a sinister voice.

At first glance, Li Mu knew that this man was like Cloud Light Saintess and Lei Cang.

The Divine-winged Fox rushed over to Li Mu and Bi Yan with the armored warriors of the Heavenly Fox Clan who had survived. They stood around Li Mu and Bi Yan to protect them.

They were surrounded by many more people.

The divine generals and masters from the four Divine Clans had also arrived. They encircled Li Mu and his companions. Looking down from the sky, they were like raging, evil waves around a reef.

“Li Mu, don’t make a mistake. Hand over that demonic woman.”

Among the successors of the four Divine Clans, Fairy Shuiyue was the only one that talked to Li Mu in a less colder tone.

Li Mu held Bi Yan tightly.

Suddenly, a bright smile crept across his face.

“There’s no point in talking too much. If you want to kill her, you’ll have to step over my dead body.”

When he tried to decide whether to rescue Bi Yan or not, he was a little worried and hesitant. However, when he held her soft and warm body in his arms, what happened between them in the past flashed through his mind, and he felt like everything happened just yesterday. In the face of the masters from the Divine Clans seething with killing intent and a very precarious situation, he cast away all his anxieties and hesitation and made up his mind to save her. He was firmly and unwaveringly determined.

The old chief of the Green Fox Tribe had very complicated feelings.

He used to think highly of Li Mu, but he was firmly opposed to his daughter being with Li Mu after he learned of Li Mu’s identity.

After all, Li Mu was a descendant of the Dark Yellow Clan.

For that reason, he trapped Bi Yan in a tactical deployment in the courtyard to stop her from helping Li Mu.

Later, Li Mu returned from the Heavenly Fox Secret Realm, killed the young master of the White Fox Tribe, the young master of the Heavenly Deity Clan, and several others, and then saved Bi Yan. What Li Mu did made the Divine-winged Fox feel worried, but fortunately, Li Mu parted ways with Bi Yan after that.

The Divine-winged Fox thought that the connection between Li Mu and his daughter was completely severed at that time.

He felt totally relieved.

After all, no matter how intense their love was, it was nothing compared to the relationship between the two clans that had been sworn enemies for thousands of years. Such tragedies happened frequently in the Star River. The Divine-winged Fox could see that his daughter had been down in the dumps both physically and mentally these days and knew that she could never erase Li Mu’s image from her memory for the rest of her life. He felt distressed about that, but he believed that as long as they were not staying together, his daughter would eventually forget Li Mu someday and would not have to suffer from the pain of separation.

However, no one expected that Li Mu would show up and risk his life to save Bi Yan at this life-and-death moment.

“Is this really the will of heaven?

“Are they destined to be together?

“However, the enemies that Li Mu is facing are very powerful.

“He can’t reverse the situation and change his destiny alone. Everything seems to be futile.”

“Li Mu, go with her. I’ll try to pin them down.”

Divine-winged Fox sent a secret message to Li Mu.

Li Mu glanced at the old man in front of him.

The Divine-winged Fox sent another message. “From now on, I will leave Bi Yan to you and let you take care of her. I will no longer be opposed to your relationship.”

Li Mu was confused.

“What relationship?

“There seems to be a big misunderstanding here.

“Obviously, however, now is not the time to sort it out.”

“Don’t act on impulse. You can’t hold them off.” Li Mu sent a secret message back to the Divine-winged Fox.

Just then, Bi Yan regained consciousness.

She struggled a bit, freed herself from Li Mu’s arms, and then said, “Put me down.”

“How are you feeling?” Li Mu asked caringly.

He clearly knew that Bi Yan had no strength to fight anymore. Just a few moments ago, the three masters were bursting with terrifying energy, and two of them were targeting her. She had to face them head-on and as a result, she got seriously injured.

“How am I feeling? It’s none of your business. You can leave now.”

Bi Yan looked cold and distant.

Li Mu felt a little surprised. He smiled and said, “Do you think they will let me go at such a moment even if you pretend to be estranged from me?”

Bi Yan stared blankly at Li Mu. With a wry look on her face, she sighed. “You… Why bother?”

She pretended to be estranged from Li Mu because she wanted to give him a chance of survival by distancing herself from him. However… as Li Mu said, it seemed futile to act like this now. They were already in the same boat.

“Ha-ha, are you done with your shot?” Cloud Light Saintess said with a mocking look on her flawless, beautiful face, “What a touching show by a loving couple! Ha-ha, do you think you can stay alive at a time like this?”

“Hey, a loving couple? They’re going to be a dying couple very soon. For those who are related to the traitorous devils, we would rather kill the wrong people than let them go.” Lei Cang laughed sinisterly.

On his masculine face, there was a vicious look that did not match the so-called Thunder Magic.

“Cut the crap. I’m going to kill you.”

The successor of the Ghost Clan lunged forward and took action directly.

The endless ghostly black fog surged and swept toward Li Mu and the others.

“Protect Her Highness Bi Yan.”

“Kill them!”

“Fight our way out while protecting Her Highness!”

The armored warriors of the Green Fox Tribe roared as they rushed forward fearlessly like moths darting into the fire. Even though they clearly knew they would die if they rushed forward, they did not hesitate at all. Their young faces were full of determination that did not match their age.

“Kill all the traitorous devils without exception.”

Cloud Light Saintess waved her hand gently with a cruel and contemptuous look on her face.

The divine generals and masters from the Cloud Clan immediately swept forward like a flood.

“Mr. Li, I’m counting on you. Please get Bi Yan out of here.”

The Divine-winged Fox seemed to have come to a decision and looked unprecedentedly determined. He opened his mouth and swallowed a red longan-sized pill. In an instant, his momentum surged, and his power fluctuated wildly and rose high in the air like constantly fueled flames. In three or four breaths, he surpassed the king level and reached the Upper King Realm.

“Long live the Green Fox Tribe. Green Foxes never grow old… I’m going to kill all of you!”

He was determined to fight to the death. A long broadsword as bright as autumn water appeared in his hand. At first glance, one could tell that the broadsword was not something ordinary. He moved swiftly and thrust his broadsword out. The broadsword light streaked through the air like water flowing from a river in the sky. Surprisingly, he managed to stop the successor of the Ghost Clan.

In the end, the fiercest fight began.

Seeing what was happening, Li Mu knew that the Divine-winged Fox would not survive this time.

The red pill that the Divine-winged Fox swallowed could activate the Source Energy, but it was like a poison. He could only hold on for a short while, and after that, he would die, and no one could save him.
