The gate of the headquarters was tightly shut and covered with spikes. It was guarded by eight guards. One of them quickly stepped forward and reached out to block the gate, saying, "Milord, please follow our rules and remove your weapons before entering the headquarters!"
"Remove weapons?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh, "You bunch of gangsters, who gave you the right to remove the weapons of the Empire's commander?"
"We …" The guard was actually speechless.
Zhou Nian coughed and said, "Alright, let Commander Yu bring his weapons in. This is how we treat our guests."
"Yes!"
With a creak, the gate slowly opened. Although it was daytime, there were many braziers and candles burning inside. Smoke lingered in the air, making Lin Muyu feel like she was in the Hall of Chivalry. She stepped into the headquarters step by step. When her eyes adjusted to the brightness, she found that it was a meeting hall with a disk-shaped basin in the middle and raised platforms on both sides. The platforms were filled with people and there was wine and meat on the tables. Lin Muyu released the Spirit Pulse Technique and found that most of these people were at the Earth Realm. Lanyan City was indeed a city of hidden talents. There was actually a group of Earth Realm experts gathered here!
She led Wei Chou and the others into the disc and could only look up at the person at the host's table. It was a young man in tiger skin armor. He was less than thirty years old and looked quite handsome. He stared at Lin Muyu like a hawk and suddenly stood up. He held a wine glass and smiled, saying, "I was wondering who it was. So it's the general of Lanyan City."
"You are Situ Sen?" Lin Muyu asked proudly. She was surrounded by gusts of wind and the white Imperial Forest Cloak behind her fluttered even though there was no wind. She didn't look angry.
"Yes." Situ Sen put down his wine glass and smiled, "And you are?"
"Lin Muyu."
"Oh, so it's the famous Commander Yu of Yihe Country. Situ Sen cupped his fists and bowed. His bow didn't seem pretentious at all and was truly respectful. "May I know why Commander Rain has come to visit Tian Jue?"
"We have a batch of white diamond ornaments we bought from Qihai City. They were robbed outside the northern city of Lanyan City. I wonder if it was your association?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Situ Sen confessed and laughed, "Yes, I did order the looting, but I thought it was the noble ladies of Lanyan City who bought the goods. I didn't expect it to be Commander Yu's goods."
Lin Muyu said, "These white diamonds are used to refine white diamond arrowheads to fight against the Demon Race and the Yihe Kingdom. I hope Your Excellency can return them in full."
Situ Sen kept muttering to himself, but a young girl sitting beside him raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "What a joke! You think you can return it just because you say so? Who do you think you are?"
Lin Muyu looked up. This girl was dressed in military attire with two crescent blades hanging from her waist. They didn't look like weapons from the Middle Earth, but she was very pretty and somewhat similar to Situ Sen. She should be Situ Xue. Lin Muyu smiled and asked, "What's wrong, North Ridge Mercenary Group Leader?"
Situ Xue gently pulled out one of the crescent blades and smiled, "Since Commander Rain knows me, Situ Xue, then you should know my style. If you can't win against my two blades, then don't mention returning the goods. More than a dozen of our men died in order to steal your goods."
"Hmph, you killed people for their goods and sold them for profit."
Lin Muyu raised her longsword lightly without unsheathing the Dragon Spiritual Sword. With a confident and arrogant attitude, she said, "Miss Situ, come at me. If I can defeat you after unsheathing my sword, it'll be my loss."
"Arrogant!"
Situ Xue jumped down and raised her two blades, slashing down with the radiance of battle energy.
Lin Muyu's martial soul surged, and the golden gourd wall broke out of her body, illuminating the entire meeting hall. The Dragon Spirit and the scabbard parried Situ Xue's double blades, but Situ Xue's movements were very agile. She immediately changed her move when her attack missed. One of her blades parried the Dragon Spirit, and the other slashed towards Lin Muyu's abdomen ruthlessly.
"What a fierce little girl!"
Lin Muyu shouted in a low voice. Dragon qi lingered around her left arm, and she raised her True Dragon Arm horizontally to parry Situ Xue's blade. At the same time, she turned her right wrist, and the Dragon Spirit cleverly spun in the air to parry Situ Xue's blade. The hilt of the sword fell down with a loud bang, directly hitting towards Situ Xue's shoulder.
"In your dreams!"
Situ Xue's beautiful face was filled with fighting spirit, and with a single step, she dodged the attack from the Dragon Spirit's hilt. Raising both of her blades horizontally, they shined like snowflakes as they slashed towards Lin Muyu's lower back.
However, Lin Muyu's speed was even faster. She used the Falling Star Step to dodge Situ Xue's attack, and at the same time, her battle boots were also filled with Whirlwind Dou Qi as she kicked out.
"Ah?"
Situ Xue could feel the power of this kick, and she hurriedly raised her blades in front of her chest to parry. But Lin Muyu's strength was too much stronger than hers. With a loud bang, Situ Xue's blades flew out of her hands, and she fell on the spectator stand in a slightly awkward manner.
"Protect the leader!"
A group of high-ranking generals of the North Ridge Mercenary Corps stood up, pulled out their weapons, and pounced over.
Lin Muyu didn't dodge, and she didn't even unsheathe the Dragon Spirit. She directly swept over with whirlwind battle energy, and the attack carried the power of the God Binding Chains created an arc of energy impact, blowing more than a dozen generals away. Even the candles on the spectator stand were extinguished!
Standing on the round disc with wisps of golden God Binding Chains around her, Lin Muyu raised her head and asked proudly, "Who else wants to try?"
Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded. It was common knowledge that Situ Xue was at the first level of the Heaven Realm, but Situ Xue was defeated in three moves by Lin Muyu without unsheathing her blade. The others definitely had no chance of winning.
…
"Clap, clap, clap …"
The sound of applause came from Situ Sen. He stood up proudly and said, "The Four Heroes of Lanyan are indeed worthy of their reputation. Situ Xue must be convinced of her defeat. But … Commander Yu, we, the Heaven Execution Society, have our own rules. I can return the white diamond to you, but you must win against me, Situ Sen, with this sword in my hand. Do you dare?"
"Why not?" Lin Muyu slowly pulled out the Dragon Spirit and smiled proudly. "If I can't convince you, Situ Sen, how can I convince the world?"
"What a big tone! I like it!"
Situ Sen slowly pulled out his blade. It also had the soul of a Saint Beast. It was a sacred weapon. The slums also had a sacred weapon!
Moreover, there were three milky white fighting spirits hovering above Situ Sen's blade. He was an expert at the middle level of the third level of the Heaven Realm. Lanyan City was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
Looking at Lin Muyu, Situ Sen said lightly, "If Commander Yu can defeat me, Situ Sen, in three moves, you win!"
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu nodded.
"Let's begin!"
Situ Sen roared and raised his fighting spirit to the peak. In fact, Lin Muyu's injury had not healed, and the strength of her fighting spirit might not be stronger than Situ Sen's. This was really an evenly matched battle. The only variable was the moves. Lin Muyu's moves were obviously far above Situ Sen's.
"Buzz …"
Raging flames surged. Lin Muyu's first move was a killing move, using fire to control the sword!
Faced with the Dragon Spirit Sword that was rotating at high speed and surging with True Dragon Origin Fire, Situ Sen naturally had to go all out. With a loud shout, Dou Qi gathered on the blade of the sword. Rays of purple light appeared around his body like a whirlpool.
"Go!"
As Lin Muyu launched her sword, Situ Sen quickly retreated as if he was escaping. However, a purple whirlpool of power was revolving around him, distorting the power of the Dragon Spirit Fire Spiral Break. The next moment, Situ Sen roared and actually reversed the situation, blasting the Dragon Spirit Sword at Lin Muyu. Damn!
"Heart Turning Art!" Situ Sen roared, and the Dragon Spirit Sword counterattacked Lin Muyu.
"How is this possible!?"
Lin Muyu was stunned. She hurriedly opened her right palm, and the power of stars surged. With a roar, she forcefully smashed the Dragon Spirit Sword to the ground. "Bang!" Stone chips flew everywhere, and the shockwave forced those who were close to her to retreat. At the same time, the power of stars gathered in her right fist, and suddenly jumped up. Lin Muyu adopted a condescending posture. The conference hall looked like it was penetrated by countless stars. The stars were shining all over the sky, and they gathered into Lin Muyu's palm strength. It fell from the sky. It was the third move of the Star Art – Five Mountains Descend from the Sky!
And this time, it was really the Five Mountains Descend from the Sky. The power of Lin Muyu's palm was no less than the pressure of a mountain. Since Situ Sen had the ability of "Big Dipper", let's see if he had the magical power of turning mountains!
Facing Lin Muyu's great palm strength, Situ Sen's face was aghast. He held the long sword horizontally in front of his chest, and forcibly stirred the Heart Turning Art's power. His face was pale. When the Five Mountains Descend from the Sky got closer and closer, Situ Sen's face became paler and paler, but he continued to stir the Heart Turning Art's power, trying to divert the power of the Five Mountains Descend from the Sky.
However, in the next second, Situ Sen had already given up. The power of the stars was like a surging river, and it was impossible to divert it, let alone use it for his own use. The stone tiles under his feet were constantly cracking under the pressure of the Five Mountains Descend from the Sky, and even the skin between his thumb and index finger was bleeding. At this time, Situ Sen finally gritted his teeth and shouted, "I lost!"
"Swoosh …"
The star power that Lin Muyu condensed in the center of his palm suddenly loosened, and smoothly slid over Situ Sen's head. After floating to the ground, he gently swung his palm, and the terrifying power that made Situ Sen feel as if he was in purgatory dissipated into indigo blue stardust, which was a spectacular sight.
…
"Huff … huff … huff …"
Situ Sen kept panting, and his face was livid, "May I ask, Commander Yu, what … what is this power? How could it be so heavy and vigorous?"
"The skill that I cultivate is called Star Art, and it originates from the star power in the sky." Lin Muyu lightly explained, and then smiled, "Lord Situ Sen is really amazing. There are not many people who can make me use the Star Art."
Situ Sen's face was full of shame, and he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Commander Yu, for not killing me. Situ Sen appreciates it!"
He was also a broad-minded person, and he spoke his mind.
"Now, can you return the white diamond to our Purple Flower Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Muyu smiled and asked.
"Of course!"
