"Erect their heads!" Li Qianxun said coldly.
Immediately, a group of rogue warriors erected sharp wooden stakes in the small town, and the heads of nearly a thousand mercenaries were chopped off and impaled on the stakes. The village was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Lin Muyu glanced at the rows of heads, and he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Although he had been in this world for a long time and gradually got used to the cruelty and killing here, a group of people who were alive and well before had now become cold corpses. The eyes of the heads were round and wide, and it was really terrifying.
At this moment, the white-haired and bearded village chief appeared in front of Li Qianxun and the others under the escort of a few rogue warriors. He cupped his fists and said, "I'm the Li Zheng … Lord of Blue Lake Town, we … we …"
"Shut up."
Li Qianxun interrupted him with a cold voice and asked, "How much pure iron do you have in the blacksmith shop of Blue Lake Town? Take them out, or don't blame me for being rude."
The Li Zheng's face was livid, "Sir, you … the House of Chivalry is here to serve justice, and the thousands of villagers in Blue Lake Town are relying on these pure iron to survive. Please let us go, sir …"
"Cut the crap!"
Li Qianxun stepped forward and kicked the Li Zheng, raising her eyebrows, and said, "Gather all the young women in this town, quickly!"
Lin Muyu hurriedly asked, "Sir, why do we gather their women?"
Li Qianxun said lightly, "The House of Chivalry needs young women, be it maids or servants. We don't have enough money to buy them from the female slave market, so we can only select from this town."
"But this is not a selection, this is a primitive and despicable invasion!"
"Lin Yan!"
Li Qianxun's eyes turned cold, and she shouted in a low voice, "Don't forget your own identity. You are a Silver Venerable Warrior of the House of Chivalry, and you also need women. I am working for the House of Chivalry, why are you obstructing me? Do you want to be the enemy of the House of Chivalry? "
Lin Muyu clenched his fists, and a faint True Inner Force lingered around his fists.
Luo Yu could tell that something was amiss. She hurriedly cupped her fists and said, "Sir Envoy Li You, Lin Yan has already killed Nie Yan. Logically speaking, his achievements are enough for him to be ranked as a Golden Exalt Wanderer. I hope that Sir can forgive his slip of the tongue!"
Li Qianxun smiled coldly and said, "Lord Lin Yan, I hope you understand what you are doing. You are about to become a Golden Venerable Wanderer, so you should not have said such ridiculous things. The maid system has always been a rule of the House of Chivalry. If there are no beautiful women as rewards, how many people do you think will be willing to work for the House of Chivalry?"
Lin Muyu remained silent, but his fists were still clenched, and his veins were bulging. He looked like he would explode at any moment.
Long Yan patted his shoulder and laughed, "Lord Lin Yan, there was a time when we all had a dream. We thought that we would be able to be chivalrous and travel the world. But the truth is not so. We need money and women to travel the world. We are mortals after all and cannot escape death. So why not enjoy life while we can?"
Luo Yu looked at Lin Muyu, and a look that he could not bear flashed across his eyes.
Lin Muyu slowly unclenched his fists and said lightly, "Li Qianxun, you are right. I have no objections."
"Ha, that's right."
Li Qianxun raised his eyebrows and laughed. "In this world, only the strong are respected. Whoever has the hardest fist can enjoy Jinyin coins and women. The House of Chivalry can shelter you, but naturally, we need you to be loyal to us. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu cupped his fists and leaped onto his horse. He stood there alone and closed his eyes. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he could not bear to watch or listen to everything that was happening in front of him.
…
The cries of young girls filled the air. There were about 200 young women in Blue Lake Town, and all of them were shackled and chased by the rangers to the House of Chivalry. It was only then that Lin Muyu realized that the shackles were not prepared for the mercenaries, but for the young women. Li Qianxun did not intend to let the mercenaries live from the beginning.
Lin Muyu rode his horse slowly at the back of the group. He had mixed feelings. He did not know if what he was doing was right or wrong, but he had no other choice. Every step he took in the Shattered Tripod Realm was like walking in mud, and he could not escape. Just as Long Yan had said, he was a mortal, not a god. He could not control the world with one hand.
The cries of young girls echoed in his ears. Lin Muyu looked up at the sky and could not help but let out a long sigh. It seemed like he could not change everything by himself, but what could he do?
He looked at Li Qianxun, who was in front of him, and clenched his fists again. He swore to himself that no matter what happened in the future, he would kill this person with his own hands!
…
It was already evening when he returned to the headquarters of the House of Chivalry. Ji Yang, the Grand Tour Ambassador, had specially held a celebratory feast for everyone, but Lin Muyu did not taste the food at all. He did not even notice when Luo Yu put on the golden Jin Zun Ranger badge for him. He was in a daze, and the laughter of the Venerables and Rogue Warriors could be heard from outside.
After the banquet, he stepped out of the headquarters and saw Wang Tianfu from afar. At this time, Wang Tianfu was wearing a Silver Venerable Ranger badge. It seemed that he had also been rewarded for the 1100 year Silver Fox spirit stones and had become a Silver Venerable Ranger.
Wang Tianfu also recognized Lin Muyu. He hurriedly cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Lord Lin Yan, you are already a Jin Zun …"
Lin Muyu nodded. "Didn't you also become a Silver Venerable Ranger?"
"Ha …"
Wang Tianfu was a little embarrassed. He said, "Lord Lin Yan must know how I became a Silver Venerable Ranger. It was just a coincidence. Lord, on the other hand, became a Jin Zun Ranger with his own ability. Everyone in the House is talking about the story of Lord killing Nie Yan …"
Lin Muyu was not in the mood to chat. He nodded and walked away.
At this moment, there was a heart-wrenching scream of a girl coming from the house next to them. There was a group of girls waiting outside, and a few Silver Venerable Rangers were waiting there with a smile on their faces. They were talking to each other. "Hey, it's my turn next. That little girl is so pretty. Hehehe, I'm in luck this time …"
Lin Muyu quickly walked over. His face was pale. "What are you doing?"
A Silver Venerable Ranger immediately cupped his fists and smiled. "It's Lord Lin Yan … These are the spoils of war that we took from Blue Lake Town during the day. The brothers are having a feast for these virgin girls! If Lord Lin Yan is interested, we will reserve the most beautiful one for you. How about it? "
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "No … no need …"
The Silver Venerable Ranger immediately rubbed his chin and smiled. "Are you sure you don't want them? If you are … then I will take your share. Thank you for your reward, hehehe … "
Lin Muyu suddenly felt a pain in his heart. Yes, even if he did not want them, those girls would still not be able to escape their fate.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Then … I want three girls. Send them directly to my room!"
"Okay, send someone to send them immediately. I guarantee that they are all unopened." The Silver Venerable Ranger's face was full of flattery.
…
Lin Muyu was disgusted. He took his sword and walked away. But his ears were filled with the screams of the girls in the houses on both sides. He hurriedly covered his ears and left the place as if he was fleeing.
"Lin Zhi, oh Lin Zhi, since when can you tolerate this?"
He kept blaming himself in his heart. His face was pale. He rushed all the way to the mountainside. Finally, he could no longer hear the screams of the girls. His legs gave way and he knelt under a rock wall. He knew that it was useless to blame himself. Even if he did not kill Nie Yan, with Li Qianxun's strength, she could destroy this group of mercenaries. He was just a small chess piece.
Full of anger, he turned over and went straight to the rock wall. He suddenly raised his arm and Dou Qi circled around his fist. "Bang!" He punched the rock wall. Immediately, stone chips flew everywhere. At the same time, there was a sharp pain in his fist. After all, he was still a flesh and blood body. How could he go head-on with a hard rock?
But he did not stop. He punched the rock again and again, as if this was the only way to relieve the pain in his heart. Not long after, his fists were a bloody mess.
"That's enough, Lin Yan."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Lin Muyu could not help but be stunned. The person who came was so quiet that he did not notice. He turned around and saw that it was Luo Yu.
"Patter … patter …"
The blood on his fist kept dripping onto the grass.
Seeing his injuries, Luo Yu couldn't help but knit her brows and said, "Sir Lin Yan, this is the first time you've entered the Hall of Chivalry. This is a pain you must experience. I can understand this pain because I've experienced it myself."
Lin Muyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. His arms were surrounded by Dou Qi. "Luo Yu, as a Tour Envoy, why did you not stop Li Qianxun?"
Luo Yu was shocked. He could feel Lin Muyu's anger. He also knew that Lin Yan was a Heaven State cultivator. It was not a joke that he could kill him in a few moves. But he did not panic. Luo Yu took a deep breath and said, "Because I am a commoner, while Li Qianxun is a noble. She is the cousin of Ji Yao, the Lord of Shangyang City and one of the 13 Uncles."
"Birth and bloodline again?" Lin Muyu laughed coldly.
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Master Lin Yan, although you have entered the Heaven State, I have to say that your strength is still below that of the Great Tour Envoy Ji Yang. If you do not want to die, you have to obey."
"Luo Yu, have you never thought of changing all this?"
Lin Muyu looked at Luo Yu, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. He did not hide his contempt for Luo Yu at all.
Luo Yu gritted his teeth and met Lin Muyu's gaze. He felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife. Ever since Lin Muyu entered the Hall of Chivalry, he had respected Lin Yan, whose strength was unfathomable. But now, Lin Muyu was looking at him with such disdain. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"My strength is not enough to change everything."
After a while, Luo Yu said this plainly.
…
Lin Muyu spread his arms and his Dou Qi turned into True Dragon Primary Fire. The murderous intent in his eyes intensified. "Master Luo Yu, tell me, will you help me hide the secret of my strength?"
Luo Yu's eyes were filled with pride. "Master Lin Yan, what kind of person do you think I am? If you don't trust me, you can kill me now. "
Lin Muyu was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, the Dou Qi in his arms dissipated and his murderous intent disappeared. He smiled and said, "Master Luo Yu, you are a good person. I can't bear to kill you …"
Luo Yu smiled knowingly.
