Shang Yang's Invitation, Dang Kang's Assault

Knowing Di Jun and the others had returned, Shang Yang immediately had an idea.

"Pass down the order, invite Lord Bai Ze to Star Gazing Palace!"

Star Gazing Palace was Shang Yang's temporary palace outside the Sun Star.

However, they weren't at the Sun Star yet.

Di Jun looked at Li Mo and said, "Li Mo, I intend to make you a personal guard of the Sun Palace. You won't have to stay by Bai Ze's side anymore. Go pack your things and head directly to the Sun God Palace later."

The main reason wasn't just to hear Li Mo's inner thoughts.

Bai Ze was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Di Jun valued his disciple, which brought him honor as a master.

"Lord Di Jun, being your personal guard? Isn't that inappropriate?" Li Mo asked, frowning, clearly unwilling.

Damn it! Going to the Sun God Palace to be your personal guard? Won't that mean going to war? I'm not going, not even if you beat me to death!

"What? You dare refuse my brother's command?"

Tai Yi's eyes widened in anger as he looked at Li Mo, quite displeased.

In front of two Moon Star maidens, this little guy dared to disrespect his brother.

"It's alright!" Di Jun smiled and gestured behind him for Tai Yi not to lose his temper.

At the same time, he spoke to Li Mo again, "Li Mo, think carefully. I'm saying this because I value your performance in Purple Heaven Palace. You've been excellent, improving several realms in a short period."

"Furthermore, as a personal guard of the Sun God Palace, you won't have to go to war. Additionally, I permit you to use the Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool daily for cultivation."

This statement shocked everyone present.

"What? Big Brother!?"

Tai Yi looked utterly surprised.

The Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool! Such a thing was a top-tier innate Spiritual Treasure. According to his and Di Jun's estimations, it could at least increase their cultivation speed tenfold.

If this little guy went there, wouldn't he soar? However, it would certainly consume a massive amount of resources. His brother was actually willing to expend so many resources to train him.

Not only Tai Yi, but Changxi, Xihe, and Bai Ze beside them were also shocked and surprised.

Upon hearing these words, Li Mo's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

This is great! I don't have to go to war! That's awesome, and the Sun Star is a natural barrier. Ordinary beings can't even set foot on the Sun Star.

As for that ridiculous Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool, what does it have to do with me? I just need to lie flat comfortably.

Di Jun's mouth twitched.

The Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Pool was his trump card! But what was the result?

Li Mo was completely unimpressed by it; not having to go to war was what he truly desired.

"Okay, thank you, Lord Di Jun," Li Mo said gratefully.

"Alright, we'll be reaching the Sun Star soon. You two masters and disciples should head back first. After you're done, I'll send someone with a fire-repelling pearl to escort you to the Sun God Palace." With that, Di Jun parted ways with Li Mo and Bai Ze just outside the Sun Star.

Bai Ze looked at Li Mo as if he were a coveted prize, muttering, "Disciple, oh disciple! What did you do? How did Lord Di Jun come to like you so much? Teach me!"

Right now, what he wanted most was to be valued by Di Jun so he could assist Di Jun and Tai Yi in unifying the Great Desolation.

He had originally intended to showcase his wisdom during this trip, but his disciple had repeatedly stolen the spotlight.

"How should I know what's going on! Maybe it's because I'm too talented." As he spoke, Li Mo flicked the bangs from his face.

Back at his residence, Li Mo lifted the bed and pulled out some beast skins from underneath. The beast skins were clearly written with Chinese characters.

"These are all rare treasures! The Plum in the Golden Vase, The Adventures of Bai Xiaojie, High School Student Bin Ge! It's a good thing I read widely in the past and could remember all this content. Now, I can even write out the plots myself. It's so satisfying to read them when I have nothing else to do."

Just as he was speaking, a loud voice suddenly echoed from outside.

"Lord Bai Ze, the Star Seer requests your presence."

"You go back first, I'll be there in a moment." Bai Ze dismissed the messenger.

"Master, Shang Yang is looking for you?" Li Mo asked as he put away the rare books.

"Indeed. I haven't been under Lord Di Jun's command for long, and I went to Zixiao Palace with Lord Di Jun and his brother this time. I fear Shang Yang is displeased. In the future, I need to increase my prestige in front of everyone and lead millions of beings."

"Shang Yang holds a high position. I must build a good relationship with him now. Disciple, if you've rested well, wait for someone to come and take you to the Sun God Palace. I need to go."

After speaking, Bai Ze transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.

Li Mo didn't have anything important, so he tidied up slightly and then lay back on the bed to wait.

He had just closed his eyes, preparing to sleep, when he was awakened by a low, pig-like grunt.

"Li Mo, gather the demon soldiers now and report to the front of the Sun Star. Aren't you coming out quickly?"

Li Mo was a bit grumpy when woken up and immediately cursed, "Report for what? I'm not registered, so what does reporting have to do with me?"

As he spoke, footsteps sounded, and dozens of beings walked in.

Among them, the leader was Dang Kang.

A pig's nose, tusks, and covered in brown fur.

He was a centurion under Shang Yang, the astrologer, with a hundred soldiers under his command.

"As someone under Di Jun and Tai Yi, the roll call naturally concerns you. And you actually abandoned your post, which is truly detestable. I'm taking you to the execution platform now to be whipped thirty times!"

"Guards, seize him for me."

With Dang Kang's command, several people rushed forward and directly dragged Li Mo from his bed.

"Damn it, you dare mess with me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Before this, he hadn't had any issues. He wasn't enlisted, not on record, just following Bai Ze.

Now someone had come looking for him; this was picking a fight.

Could Li Mo tolerate this? Absolutely not.

He broke free from the grip of two men, throwing a punch with each hand, smashing them into the faces of two small soldiers.

The strength of a Late True Immortal erupted directly.

The two small soldiers were sent flying.

Seeing this, Dang Kang's expression changed drastically; he was very surprised.

Li Mo was already at the Late True Immortal stage!

Behind him, the many small soldiers also looked at each other.

Didn't they say before that Li Mo was only at the Earth Immortal stage?

After not seeing him for a while, he had actually improved to the Late True Immortal realm.

His rate of improvement was not just fast!

However, this also presented Dang Kang with a good opportunity.

He had originally intended to drag Li Mo to the execution platform and teach him a lesson.

Now, Li Mo had openly attacked his soldiers.

Dang Kang swung his great hammer, pointing at Li Mo, baring his teeth as he said, "Li Mo, you openly attacked my subordinates. Your crime is unforgivable. I will kill you on the spot now, and no one can say anything."
