"Who is making such a ruckus here?" A cold voice sounded, and a middle-aged man walked out from inside. His face was cold and stern, and his icy gaze swept past Chu Mu and Lin Biruo's faces.
"Shopkeeper, you're here. These two people came here to cause trouble." The shop assistant complained first.
"Nonsense. You're the one who coveted my Young Master's five hundred stalks of Black Iron Roots. How dare you twist the truth and sow discord." Lin Biruo, the little maid, glared at him coldly, and her voice was as sharp as a sword.
"Shopkeeper, how could I do such a thing?" The shop assistant had an innocent look on his face.
The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at him deeply, then looked at Chu Mu and the others, and said, "Both of you, this is the place where the Silver Silver Mansion specializes in purchasing spirit herbs. If there's nothing else, please leave as soon as possible."
This was a warning.
The shopkeeper knew the shop assistant's background very well. Therefore, he did not doubt Lin Biruo's words at all. But, so what?
This was a place set up by the Silver Silver Mansion, and it specialized in purchasing spirit herbs. Once news of someone coveting spirit herbs spread, it would cause some unnecessary impact. It would tarnish the Silver Silver Mansion's image and tarnish their reputation. Perhaps this was nothing to the Silver Silver Mansion, but as members of the Silver Silver Mansion, they definitely could not do anything that would tarnish the Silver Silver Mansion's image.
Secondly, this shop assistant was not an ordinary shop assistant. Although his cultivation talent was average and he was destined to not achieve much, it was still unknown whether he could break through to the Seven-star Saint level. It was precisely because of this that he was sent here to be a shop assistant. However, he had a backer, and this backer made him, the shopkeeper, very wary of him.
Combining these two reasons, the shopkeeper naturally had to stand on the shop assistant's side.
"Looks like you're planning to cover up for him," Chu Mu said.
"I'm upright and upright. How can I cover up for him? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Said the shopkeeper sternly. He seemed to be full of righteousness. In reality, in his eyes, Chu Mu, a four star saint rank initial stage, was probably some small family's young master. Compared to the Silver Palace, the difference was countless times, and he wasn't a cause for concern.
"What a pity. I've only been here for a short time," Chu Mu said to himself.
If he had more time, perhaps he would be able to gain a considerable status in the Land of Exile. At that time, no one would look down on him and bully him because of his low cultivation.
Now, he could only use his own strength to defend himself.
At the very most, if things got out of hand, he would just use his trump card and wipe out the entire Silver Manor.
As his thoughts turned, Chu Mu's eyes turned cold and sharp. A terrifying sword intent instantly spread out from his body and locked onto the shop assistant and shopkeeper.
His Sword Will and aura condensed into an illusory sword in an instant and slashed through the void.
This aura was truly too tyrannical. The shopkeeper's expression instantly changed, and he hastily released his own aura to resist. However, in an instant, his aura was slashed apart by Chu Mu's aura sword. It was ripped apart and slammed into his body. His mind trembled, and he retreated a few steps while his entire body trembled.
The shopkeeper was a seven-star Saint, while the shop assistant was a six-star Saint. Even a seven-star Saint couldn't resist Chu Mu's aura, let alone an ordinary six-star Saint.
In the face of Chu Mu's sword of aura, he couldn't even release his own aura to resist. He was instantly struck. He felt as if his entire body was being torn apart. His mind trembled, his soul trembled, and his primordial spirit trembled. It felt as if his soul was being torn apart.
The shop assistant screamed uncontrollably. It was incomparably mournful and echoed endlessly in the shop.
Chu Mu didn't kill him, but the sword of aura directly injured him. His mind, primordial spirit, and soul were obviously affected and on the verge of collapse. It could be said that the shop assistant was half crippled.
"Who are you … Who exactly are you …" The shopkeeper was a seven-star Saint after all. To a certain extent, he could resist Chu Mu's sword of aura. Moreover, Chu Mu's main target was the shop assistant. He was just a secondary target. Therefore, he wasn't affected that much. However, he was very shocked and his voice was filled with horror.
Was this a four-star beginner stage Saint?
A four-star beginner stage Saint could completely suppress him, a seven-star Saint, and cause the mind of a six-star Saint to collapse. Was this really a four-star beginner stage Saint?
The shopkeeper felt that he had misjudged this time. He had met a terrifying person.
"I don't care about 500 Black Iron Cores, but …" Chu Mu's eyes became colder and colder.
"Men, come quickly. Someone is causing trouble here." The shopkeeper shouted loudly.
At this moment, a team of silver-colored guards happened to be patrolling nearby. When they heard the shopkeeper's shout, they immediately turned around and rushed over.
"Shopkeeper Yan, what's going on?" There were a total of ten silver-colored guards who rushed over. They were led by a seven-star intermediate stage Saint, and nine of them were six-star peak stage Saints. When they arrived at the shop, the captain glanced at the shopkeeper and asked in a deep voice.
"Captain Lin, you've come at the right time. This person wants to use his strength to commit violence in the shop." Shopkeeper Yan pointed at Chu Mu and said sternly. As for the shop assistant, he collapsed mentally and fainted.
Captain Lin and the other nine members all looked at Chu Mu's face. Then, they looked at Shopkeeper Yan with astonishment and confusion.
"Shopkeeper Yan, this is not a good joke." Captain Lin said coldly.
In their eyes, Chu Mu was only a four-star beginner stage Saint, while Shopkeeper Yan was a seven-star beginner stage Saint. The gap between the two was huge. Even a six-star beginner stage Saint couldn't bridge the gap. Now, they were saying that a four-star beginner stage Saint could cause a seven-star beginner stage Saint to be helpless and had to ask for their help.
Was this seven-star beginner stage Saint just for show?
"Captain Lin, you have to believe me. This person is definitely not simple. He crushed my shop assistant's mind and fainted with his aura. He even defeated my aura." Shopkeeper Yan said quickly.
However, Captain Lin still couldn't believe it.
No one would believe such words without experiencing it for themselves.
"This is the place where the Silver Mansion buys spiritual herbs. It's not a place where people embezzle other people's spiritual herbs." Chu Mu said neither too fast nor too slow. This one sentence allowed Captain Lin and the others to roughly understand what was going on. They coldly glanced at Shopkeeper Yan.
People like them were extremely disgusted by the matter of corruption.
In fact, most people hated embezzlement.
"He's Lord Mingkong's cousin." Shopkeeper Yan pointed at the unconscious shop assistant and smiled bitterly. At this moment, he didn't bother to explain anything.
"Captain Mingkong!" Captain Lin and the others were shocked and their expressions changed.
He was just a small captain. There were squadron captains above him, then platoon captains, vice commanders, and the commanders.
Although they didn't belong to Captain Mingkong's team and weren't directly under his jurisdiction, Captain Mingkong was still a platoon captain. Regardless of status or strength, Captain Mingkong was much stronger than them. They couldn't afford to offend him.
"Take them away." Captain Lin waved his hand. His team members immediately moved forward and were about to capture Chu Mu and Lin Biruo.
"Get lost!" With a low shout, a terrifying aura surged out, causing the nine team members to tremble. As for Captain Lin, his face fell. He immediately released his aura, but it was destroyed. Under the impact, his mind was shaken, and he was forced to retreat.
The nine team members lost their ability to move and collapsed to the ground under Chu Mu's aura. Captain Lin was the only one who held on. He was extremely shocked. Shopkeeper Yan's words were true. A Four-star Martial Saint could suppress a Seven-star Martial Saint with his aura.
One should know that Shopkeeper Yan couldn't compare with his strength. Yet, he was suppressed.
"Sir … who are you?" Captain Lin said with difficulty.
At this moment, the unconscious shop assistant woke up. The first thing he did was to take out a piece of jade from his spatial ring and crush it.
"You're dead. My cousin will be here soon." The shop assistant stared at Chu Mu with a ferocious expression.
"Lord Mingkong is coming." Shopkeeper Yan was delighted. He couldn't imagine that a Seven-star Martial Saint would panic because of a Four-star Martial Saint.
"Sir, don't make a mistake," Captain Lin said, trying to stall for time.
"Are you trying to stall for time?" Chu Mu saw through Captain Lin's intention. "Don't worry. I won't leave just like that. Since you dare to take my things, you have to pay the price."
Lin Biruo stood beside Chu Mu. Her expression didn't change at all, but she was very nervous.
The people of the Silver Mansion were terrifying existences that couldn't be trifled with. Her young master dared to go against them and didn't seem to be afraid at all. What was the origin of her young master?
Chu Mu's words caused Captain Lin to be bewildered.
Who was this person?
What was his origin?
How could he be so fearless in front of the Silver Mansion?
He was very worried that if this person really had an extraordinary background, then if this matter continued to escalate, it would eventually escalate into an unpredictable outcome. At that time, it was very likely that it would incite a conflict between the Silver Manor and another huge faction.
If that force was one of the other City Lord Mansions, then the consequences would be severe. Everyone present would be implicated.
Captain Lin was extremely frightened at this moment. After his nine team members understood the crux of the matter, each of them revealed a look of fear.
Dying in battle wasn't scary. What was scary was being implicated. Even their family members would be implicated, and their ending would be very tragic.
At this moment, a terrifying aura descended. It was as if a sharp sword had been unsheathed. It turned into a sharp blade and slashed, causing everyone's expression to change drastically.
