Who was it?
Jiang Buping was shocked. He stopped in his tracks and looked up at the sky.
Ye He, Ye Ying, and Lin Jingxin also raised their heads to look at the sky.
A balding old man dressed in a gray robe with long hair hanging down from the sides of his ears and the back of his head was standing in midair like a lightning demon god. Lightning flashed in his eyes, and there was not the slightest trace of human emotion.
"Mister Ming?"
Jiang Buping frowned slightly.
He hadn't expected this person to come.
Ye He's eyes were also filled with shock and solemnity.
She secretly transmitted to her sister, "No matter what happens, don't say a word. Let me handle it."
Ye Ying didn't recognize the bald old man in the sky, but she rarely saw her sister reveal such a fearful expression, as if she was facing a great enemy.
Lin Jingxin obviously didn't recognize this Mister Ming that Jiang Buping had mentioned either.
However, as soon as this person appeared, Lin JingXin's vision blurred. A figure appeared in front of him. It was his third uncle, Lin An, who he had gotten drunk and was supposed to be sleeping soundly in his room.
"Third uncle?" He was stunned. "You're not drunk."
Lin An snorted coldly. "Brat, do you think you can fool me with those thoughts of yours? Ah, really, a grown son can't be controlled by his mother. As your third uncle, I can't control you anymore. "
Lin Jingxin laughed mischievously. He wanted to say something, but Lin An waved his hand. "Just shut your mouth. From now on, don't interrupt. Listen to what senior Ming has to say."
Lin Jingxin keenly sensed his third uncle's fear of the lightning demon in the sky.
"City Lord Jiang, where is my young master?"
The bald old man's voice was like the rumble of thunder. It was extremely oppressive, like the omen of a storm.
Jiang Buping's expression gradually calmed down. He said indifferently, "Mister Ming, you'll see the report from Raging Flame City's military very soon. I am also extremely regretful about Lei Zang's situation. However, Raging Flame City has already done its best …"
"Shut up!"
The bald old man flew into a rage.
His voice was accompanied by thunder and lightning, like the wrath of heaven. "This happened in your City Lord's Mansion. I need an explanation."
Jiang Buping said indifferently, "Too many things have happened in the City Lord's Mansion. This old man has the will, but the strength is insufficient. Mister Ming, you are making things difficult for me."
"Jiang Buping, I've already read the report from the Military Ministry. Your performance is too disappointing. A little Li Mu can enter and leave the City Lord's Mansion as if there was no one there. Back then, the Flaming Palm was so powerful. I don't believe that you can't stop Li Mu with your strength." The bald old man sneered.
"This old man is already old. The new generation excels the old, and every generation has its own talents." Jiang Buping said indifferently, "Even the two Divine Xuan experts of your branch couldn't stop Li Mu and were killed in an instant, let alone me."
"Humph, others may not see it, but I can see it. Jiang Buping, you deliberately let Li Mu go. Otherwise, not to mention that your own cultivation has long entered the Divine Xuan Realm, once the three layers of the Great Heavens Trapping Formation in your mansion are fully opened, even a Great Dao Realm expert will not be able to get in or out. How can Li Mu escape?"
The bald old man sneered.
"What?"
Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin both looked at Jiang Buping in shock.
"Uncle Jiang's strength is so high?" "And that so-called All Heaven Trapping Formation, could it really be … that Uncle Jiang deliberately let Li Mu go?"
"But Uncle Jiang wouldn't do that. After all, he didn't know Li Mu before."
"Is there a story behind this?"
Ye He and Lin An, on the other hand, looked a little more normal, as if they had already known something.
"Li Mu killed the Divine Xuan expert in an instant. I was also injured in his hands, and I couldn't stop him. As for the All Heaven Trapping Formation, alas, in order to gather enough supplies for the Wandering Dragon Army, the energy in the core of the formation has long been drained. It can't run at all. Mr. Ming, do you want to experience the power of the formation yourself?"
Jiang Buping looked calm.
However, the sharpness in his last sentence caused the bald old man in the sky to be slightly startled.
"Jiang Buping, so you mean to say that you are deliberately going to be the enemy of my thunder branch?" The bald old man slightly narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Buping smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Ming, it was you who was aggressive first."
The bald old man changed the subject and sneered, "Well, in that case, I won't make things difficult for you, Governor Jiang. But I want to take away the people related to Li Mu. Governor Jiang, you won't stop me, will you?"
Jiang Buping frowned and said, "Oh?"
The bald old man suddenly made a move. Countless thin threads of lightning in the sky turned into two blurry hands of lightning and struck down brazenly. Their targets were Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin.
His earlier overbearing pressure on Jiang Buping was just a facade, forcing Jiang Buping to be unable to make a move. His true target was these two youngsters.
Boom!
The threads of lightning burst out.
It was Ye He and Lin An. They both took the blow for the people around them at the same time.
Ye He's right sleeve turned into ashes and dissipated, revealing a small arm that was as fair as jade.
Lin An's palm was surrounded by lightning. The corner of his mouth twitched. He had to operate his cultivation method to dispel the power of lightning that had blasted into his body.
Neither of them was a match for the bald old man.
"Senior Ming, what do you mean?" Ye He said coldly, "Isn't the compromise of the Ye family enough?"
"It seems that Mr. Ming is a little angry." Lin An swung his arm and said, "Is it because Lei Zang's spiritual body was destroyed? I guess you have to bear a lot of responsibility. But I advise you to hurry up and find Li Mu. It's meaningless to put on a brave front here. "
The bald old man was surrounded by lightning and formed a purple sea of lightning hundreds of meters above his head, which changed into the shapes of all kinds of horrible thunder beasts. He sneered and said, "I came to you for Li Mu. Haha, Li Mu is willing to risk his life for Xiao Jianfei. If Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin are caught, do you think he will come again?"
Jiang Buping frowned and said, "Mr. Ming, are you going to use Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin as bait?"
"In your dreams." Ye Ying refused directly.
A sneer also appeared on Lin Jingxin's lazy face.
Ye He stood in front of her sister and said, "Senior Ming, the Ye family has done our best. It's impossible. "
Lin An also smiled and said, "Mr. Ming, I'm afraid you are thinking too much."
The bald old man said, "Originally, if both of you had left, then everything would have been fine. Unfortunately, you two little brats just had to be entangled with Li Mu, and even wanted to come to the City Governor's Mansion to see Li Mu again. This is clearly colluding with Li Mu. Both of you asked for it, so don't blame me for being rude."
Then, without waiting for a response, he attacked.
The sky was filled with purple lightning and suddenly crashed down. The lightning gathered and pointed at Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin.
This attack was countless times more terrifying than the previous one.
Ye He's black hair danced in the wind. Lin An let out a low roar and gathered their Cultivation Methods to the peak …
Jiang Buping snorted and said, "Mr. Ming, what do you think the City Master's Mansion is …"
Before he finished speaking.
Something strange happened.
Swoosh!
In the sky, the shadow of a ring smashed out from the void without warning. Before anyone could react, it ignored all defences and smashed heavily on the back of the bald old man!
Poof!
There was a sound like a watermelon being smashed.
Just look at this incomparably tyrannical and unfathomable expert of the Way of Thunder, the powerful pressure, the terrifying protective lightning, all of these added together, not even able to withstand for an instant, and his body instantly split into pieces.
At the same time, what was even more strange was that the sea of lightning that filled the sky was instantly sucked clean by the black ring like a whale sucking in water.
The lightning dissipated and the shadow of the moon appeared.
Under the moonlight, the shadow of the bald old man was faintly discernible.
An expression of extreme anger and fear appeared on his face.
This was his true spirit.
There were many Gods of the Thunder Doctrine. This bald old man was also a God on the Investiture of the Gods List like Lei Zang.
Feeling the terrifying destructive power contained in the ring, the bald old man's true spirit realized that he had been ambushed by an unimaginable enemy. He wanted to escape without thinking.
Who knew that at this moment, a golden blade light would sweep past.
Chi chi!
The bald old man's arms and legs fell like radishes being cut.
Jiang Buping, who was on the ground, suddenly had a trace of shock in his eyes.
"He can kill a True Spirit? That golden light … Is that person really coming? "
His body trembled slightly.
"Has this day finally come?"
"Hahaha, old dog, I'm afraid you won't be able to kill me." A familiar laughter rang out. Li Mu appeared out of the void like a ghost.
With a wave of his hand, the Earthly Ring of the Ring of Heaven and Earth returned to his left arm, and the True Spirit of the bald old man was carried in his hand like a little chick. "Anyone who goes against me, no matter who they are, will pay the price."
"What?"
Ye He and Lin An were startled.
The bald old man's strength was terrifying. Although they had fought against him, they were absolutely not confident that they could stop him. But now, they were killed in an instant?
Their eyes fell on Li Mu, trying to figure out who this young man was.
But Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin, who were next to them, exclaimed at the same time, "Li Mu?"
Ye He and Lin An's hearts beat wildly at the same time.
"Li Mu?"
"This man is Li Mu?"
"Ye Ying, Lin Jingxin, you two are good … The scouts in the relay station will not die in vain. I swear that I will clear their grievances. As for the two of you, I will slowly settle the score with you two in the future."
Li Mu glanced at Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin. He seemed to be yelling angrily, but he was actually winking at them. Then, without any hesitation, he moved and disappeared along with the incomplete True Spirit Body of the bald old man like cotton candy melting in water.
Ye He and Lin An both raised their eyebrows. For a moment, they had an impulse to stop him. But for some reason, they did not do anything in the end.
And at the same time, they were surprised to find that Jiang Buping, who should have reacted immediately, did not have any desire to do anything. They didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but they both saw that the once all-powerful city governor was trembling slightly. They didn't know whether it was because of fear or something else.
Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin were completely dumbfounded.
"How could Li Mu be so tough?"
"If I knew he had such strength, I wouldn't have to worry about him at all."
"Why didn't this bastard say so earlier?"
"And he still wants to settle the score with us?"
"Humph."
As the two thought about it, they couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths.
They all saw Li Mu winking. It seemed that he was accusing them, but in fact, he was comforting them. As for why he said that, it was because he was afraid of getting them involved.
Some people didn't know what was so good about him, but they just couldn't forget him.
Some people were just strangers who met by chance, but they were willing to treat him as a lifelong friend.
The two young people were both glad that they came to the city governor's mansion tonight.
If they didn't come, they would have missed the most precious friendship in their lives.
