Li Mu had actually set up a fund to compensate the victims who died in the massacre on the South Street. What was he up to?

Had he been stung by conscience?

Had he been tormented by guilt?

Or had he had an epiphany and repented for what he had done?

Or was it merely a show he put on to clear his name?

Many people couldn’t figure out his incentive at the moment.

However, since all the people who had trashed Li Mu before had all been ruthlessly silenced, at this time, few on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region dared to continue to criticize and deride Li Mu, except for the handful of people who were genuinely indignant.

However, most cultivators were still sneering in private.

“What? You want to buy people’s support with money?”

“That is just laughable.”

Of course, not everyone was too scared to speak up.

A cultivator named “Darkness-repelling Sword” continued to make sarcastic remarks on the forum of the Big Events in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

“Well, well, if paying fairy crystals can offset one’s sin, if using fairy crystals can buy people’s lives, then let’s raise some fairy crystals and buy off Li Mu’s life, shall we?”

This man was sort of the leader of the “literary cultivators” in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. He had made his name known on the forum of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region for his sharp tongue and unyielding character. He had indeed exposed many ugly secrets in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, and so was called the “guts” of the literary cultivators in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

The background of the Darkness-repelling Sword was extremely mysterious. Very few people knew his real identity in the real world. It was said that he had fought for the interests of ordinary cultivators more than once. Each time, he put himself at death’s door.

For this reason, many cultivators had held this man in awe.

But, of course, many sects and gangs also hated him for that.

Of the wanted lists in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, no less than 10 had his name. Many forces wanted to kill him, but he was still alive and had been very active on the Immortal Net.

Days ago, in the heated movement of denouncing Li Mu on the forum, besides the Gold Sun Warlord and Lan Wuyu from the Lan Clan who enthusiastically berated Li Mu for their interests and the purposes of showing off, this Darkness-repelling Sword was also one of the main forces discrediting Li Mu.

When Li Mu fully launched his revenge, many also started to worry about the safety of the Darkness-repelling Sword.

After all, in this dark universe, there were not many people who dared to speak up for the sake of the low-level cultivators left.

But things turned out to be fine.

Perhaps it was because he couldn’t find the Darkness-repelling Sword or he had other reasons, it seemed that Li Mu did not intend to harm the Darkness-repelling Sword from the very beginning.

Even so, the Darkness-repelling Sword did not stop ridiculing Li Mu.

This day, he made another remark on the Immoral Net.

His words were still fierce, still didn’t give Li Mu any face.

Other than the Darkness-repelling Sword, Feng Liusheng from the Wind Clan also voiced his view.

“Yes, Li Mu didn’t kill me. He appeared to be quite forgiving… But I won’t be grateful to him because of this. He is a moody devil. What he has done can’t be written off with some fairy crystals. I hope that those relatives and friends of the victims on the South Street could reject his blood-stained fairy crystals and continue to think of a way to seek justice for the deceased.”

Feng Liusheng didn’t alter his own stance because Li Mu had spared him.

“Having put my neck under Li Mu’s broadsword and powered through his deadly coercion, I shall more staunchly uphold my bottom line and principles, and I won’t allow myself to be defeated by any dark force or threat.”

Feng Liusheng’s remark showed his firm attitude.

This made many people start to look at this young man from the “Soft Spine Clan” in a different light.

The remarks of the Darkness-repelling Sword and Feng Liusheng certainly aroused a deep resonance among the masses.

The low-level cultivators didn’t dare to speak their minds on the forum, but they dared to support these two people in their seemingly humble but unique way.

Their most explicit show of support was that in less than one day, the posts posted by these two people on the forum had been viewed by more than a million times, and the number of people who had given an anonymous tip to them had exceeded 10,000.

Those were very shocking figures.

“Justice may come late, but it will never be absent.”

The Darkness-repelling Sword excitedly posted another post on the same day.

“I’m doing fine. Everyone, don’t worry about me.” Feng Liusheng was also very thrilled.

The two seemed to have contacted each other secretly and reached an agreement. Because they later jointly announced that they also set up a fund with the anonymous tips of more than 500 silver-colored fairy crystals they had received to compensate and comfort the relatives and family members of the victims on the South Street.

“This is the clean money, the righteous fairy crystals.”

The Darkness-repelling Sword announced solemnly.

“We want to use the ‘clean money’ to help the relatives of the victims on the South Street. This is inspired by Butcher Li Mu’s way of doing things, but our money is much cleaner than his.”

Feng Liusheng was very excited.

He reckoned that he had found the purpose and meaning of life.

Because of Li Mu’s massacre and suppression, the forum, which had basically become as quiet as stagnant water, finally began to liven up after such a series of actions.

“D*mn it, I can’t stand it anymore. Even if that butcher will get back at me, I gotta say that I support the Darkness-repelling Sword and the young man from the Feng Clan.”

“Come on, Li Mu, kill me! I’m not afraid of death. I just want to curse you.”

“Li Mu, you’re a beast devoid of humanity.”

“You can destroy my body, but you can’t destroy the justice in this world.”

“Li Mu, I hope you die young.”

The warm blood in many cultivators was suddenly awoken. People started to disclose their real identities and bash at Li Mu on the forum, openly supporting the Darkness-repelling Sword and Feng Liusheng.

It was as if a spark had fallen on a dry prairie, which then quickly brought about a fire that swept across the whole prairie at an unstoppable speed.

Many people were surprised to see things turn out like this in the end.

Some who hated Li Mu once again began to take pleasure in Li Mu’s misfortune in secret.

“He asked for it!”

“Let’s see how he’ll deal with this.”

In this way, the reputation of Li Mu the Wild Broadsword would be completely ruined in this Star Region.

Before his body decayed, his name had already become mud.

Some “literary cultivators” even referred to this event as a milestone in the history of the forum of the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

“While this butcher’s bloody knife is hanging over us, justice has not been destroyed. Instead, it appeared in a more overwhelming way. The great waves have washed away those who had ulterior motives of fanning the flames and revealed those who really persisted with justice. Maybe we should thank Li Mu. Because it’s him who has caused the middle and lower-level cultivators in the universe really unite together and ignite this flame that may illuminate the whole universe in the future!”

A “literary cultivator” who could be considered quite famous couldn’t help but speak up for justice as well.

“Yes, thank you, Li Mu.”

“Hahaha, I also want to say, thank you, Li Mu.”

“Thank you, Li Mu.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Li Mu. Hahaha.”

“Thank you, Li Mu… Well, this is not a curse, is it? Will Li Mu come to kill me? Oh, I’m so scared.”

“Thank you, Li Mu.”

On the forum, a large number of “Thank You Li Mu” posts appeared. Everyone could tell that the cultivators did not really mean to thank Li Mu but had been deliberately making fun of Li Mu with sarcasm. They were taunting, trying to sicken him on purpose.

All of a sudden, as if they had found a way to vent their anger, all the cultivators left comments about thanking Li Mu on the forum.

In less than two hours, more than 10,000 such posts appeared on the forum. It was quite a spectacular view if one checked the forum.

…

“Those who do evil must pay the price. The sword that repels the darkness will never compromise or fall silent.”

In a dim basement, a pungent smell of herbs filled the air.

A slim and young woman was sitting cross-legged on a futon. Her dress was stained with blood, and she seemed to have been injured. The girl logged out of the Immortal Net with a sacred smile on her pale face.

“Sister, why did you…” A boy sitting beside her wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Then, he continued, “You know he once saved…”

“Shut up.” The woman shouted sternly, “Did you forget how your parents died? Humph, I know what you are thinking, but how can we abandon justice for personal favors?”

…

Everyone felt that Li Mu had completely fallen into disrepute.

For hundreds of years, no one had ever had such a bad reputation.

Some time ago, Li Mu’s tyrannizing means had suppressed the voices on the forum for a short time. But it seemed that at the end of the day, it backfired on him because the rebound of the uproar was more intense and overwhelming.

So, could this be considered an example of going for wool but coming home shorn?

…

In Star Wind City.

The black-robed young man with sharp eyes and thick eyebrows and a sword on his back was standing by the window of the VIP room on the top floor of the Immortal Pavilion, looking out at the green hills and rivers in the distance with a frown.

“It backfired? This time, he seems to be in big trouble. What kind of method will he use to sort this out? I’m intrigued.”

He had come to look for Li Mu.

In particular, when he heard that Li Mu had smashed the hellish three-headed dog in the General Realm, the fighting desire in his heart burned more furiously. But when he arrived, Li Mu had already left, and no one knew where he went.

…

“He tried to be clever but it turned out to be the contrary,” said a beautiful girl standing on the deck of the flying shuttle looking at the rolling clouds.

Next to her, a girl carrying a machete longer than her height logged out of the Immortal Net. Thinking of all those sarcastic “thanking Li Mu” messages on the forum, she bitterly said, “These people are really hateful.”

“Aren’t you touched by their perseverance and enthusiasm in the cause of upholding justice?” The beautiful girl looked down at her younger sister and said, “Haven’t you always said that you will use the machete in your hand to shatter the haze in the cosmos and give a bright and peaceful world back to the folks? Those people are just doing the same thing as you are doing.”

The cunning-look younger sister shook her head and said in the tone of a senior, “I’m not like them at all. They’re fools. But I can see through the fog.”

“Do you really believe in him that much?”

“Of course. Just by looking at his broadsword, I can tell that he’s not that kind of person. His broadsword-using method skills won’t lie.”

Hearing this, her older sister did not say anything else.

Yes, one’s broadsword-using methods embodied one’s disposition.

In the battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin, that man, who was almost smashed to pieces but still did not retreat, had a more straight back than anyone else in the world. In order to protect his friends and loved girl, he would rather die than retreat, even though the one he faced was an Immortal Emperor.

Would such a man really go slaughter those innocent people on the South Street?

She couldn’t trust Li Mu as completely as her sister did, but she still had some doubts.

At this moment, the little girl on the side suddenly exclaimed again.

“Sister, come on, check the latest news on the forum. This time, it is released by the Immortal Net. The truth of the massacre on the South Street…”

She was as excited as she was when she got the first machete in her life eight years ago.
