Under countless gazes, Lin Yuquan, who was like a volcano about to erupt, stood on the purple thunder and lightning flower and took a deep breath, as if he was trying to suppress something. Then, for the first time since he showed up, he took a look at Zhuge Yun who was standing beside Li Mu.
Zhuge Yun looked calm. He didn't say anything but just smiled.
"Okay."
Lin Yuquan suddenly nodded.
He finally made some kind of decision.
"Do as he said."
Lin Yuquan glanced at Yu Sanlun who was still wearing a confident sneer.
Commander Yu Sanlun was stunned. Then, he realized what Li Mu meant and was shocked.
In the next instant, before the surrounding people could react, they saw a flash of lightning in the low sky. The suffocating pressure that filled the sky disappeared. Immediately, the Lightning Fire Division's controller, who had shaken Peace City, left after leaving behind these words.
"He … left?"
"He left?"
The thunder was loud but the rain was small. It was a strong start but weak finish.
Inside and outside the Virtuous Gathering Pavilion, there was a dead silence.
What a twist!
Who could have guessed that the dominator of the Thunder and Fire Clan who had arrived in such a domineering manner did not bring a hearty and overwhelming victory. Instead, after a mere verbal exchange, he inexplicably compromised and left. It was as if he had stretched out his face to let Li Mu slap him in the face and then left 'contentedly'.
"How could this be?"
The onlookers couldn't figure it out at all.
And the ones who couldn't figure it out the most were the experts of the Thunder and Fire Division led by Commander Yu Sanlun.
"Did the division leader mean to yield to the Bright Night Department?"
"Why?"
"It's just a small Bright Night Department."
Thousands of horrified eyes were fixed on Li Mu.
Li Mu looked at Yu Sanlun and the others indifferently and said, "What are you waiting for?"
Yu Sanlun's face was as red as fresh pig liver.
He looked back at his subordinates and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear what Master Lin said? "
Even if they didn't agree with him, they couldn't go back on their leader's words.
Xing Rong, the junior commander, and the few cultivators of the Thunder Fire Sect who started the trouble, walked out with pale faces, trembling with fear, as if they had just eaten sh * t.
They looked at Li Mu with a hint of pleading in their eyes.
But Li Mu's expression was as cold as ice, without any change.
Xing Rong knew that he couldn't escape this calamity.
Back when he humiliated and injured Yun Shuangyan, he never dreamed that he would end up like this.
Xing Rong steeled his heart, drew his saber, and chopped off his right hand.
Blood spurted out.
His face contorted in pain.
But the psychological humiliation was worse than the physical pain.
For cultivators like them, regrowing a severed arm was not a difficult task. What was truly unbearable was that they had severed their arm in front of so many people. It was a shame that they might not be able to wash away for the rest of their lives.
The other cultivators of the Thunder Fire Sect who had insulted the Bright Night Si Clan also endured the humiliation in their hearts. Those who had attacked had their hands chopped off, and those who had spoken had their tongues cut off.
They could all be regenerated.
But it was this humiliation that drove him crazy.
Looking at the wretched cultivators of the Thunder Fire Division, the surrounding people felt as though they were dreaming.
This was definitely an outcome that they could not have imagined.
"Your Excellency, are you satisfied now?" Yu Sanlun looked at Li Mu angrily.
Li Mu shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Yu Sanlun asked, gnashing his teeth.
Li Mu said, "You also spoke just now."
"You …" Yu Sanlun's face changed dramatically, and he said viciously, "Don't push your luck."
Li Mu said, "Idiot, you can try to leave like this and see what the consequences will be."
Yu Sanlun's face changed again.
In that instant, he really wanted to turn around and leave. No one in the Bright Night Department could stop him. However, when he thought of how even Lord Lin Yuquan, who had always been protective of his own people, had chosen to tolerate him, the meaning behind this was extremely terrifying. It was probably not something he could bear.
"I'll remember this."
Yu Sanlun operated his cultivation method, and a piece of his tongue flew out of his mouth.
He waved his hand, turned around, and left with his subordinates.
He was too ashamed to stay any longer.
Being forced to cut off his tongue, such a shame was bound to follow him for the rest of his life. He believed that it would not be long before the whole Huining City went crazy. From the high and mighty commander of the Thunder Fire Division, he would become the topic of people's idle gossip. He was literally nailed to the pillar of shame.
Li Mu curled his lips and said in a cold voice, "Don't forget, three days and three nights."
Yu Sanlun staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He had to go to the fortress of the Bright Night Si Clan and kneel for three days and three nights.
The latter was even more humiliating.
But since Lin Yuquan, the head of the Thunder Fire Division, had promised, he had to do it.
At this time, Yu Sanlun really wished he could slap his own mouth swollen. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have said such harsh words. But now, all his words had come true. He was trapped in a cocoon of his own making.
Seeing the members of the Thunder and Fire Division leave with their heads hung low in dejection, many people in the surroundings were dumbfounded.
When they looked at Li Mu and the others again, the look in their eyes completely changed.
In Huining City, was there anyone who could force Lin Yuquan, the World-destroying Purple Thunder of the Thunder Fire Division, to lower his head and admit his mistake? Of course, there were, but definitely not more than 10. Even a big shot like Zhuge Yun, who was with Li Mu, could not do it.
But Li Mu did it.
What was his identity?
What was his status?
All the people who saw the whole process realized that a big piece of news was about to break out in Huining City.
If this young man in Bai Longjia did not die in the following period, it meant that a new big shot was about to be born in the military headquarters of the Human Clan. No, to be a little exaggerated, it could even be said that a new figure was about to be born in the entire Human Clan.
The way Li Shang and the other four members of the Bright Night Department looked at Li Mu was as if they were looking at a god high up in the sky. Excitement, agitation, disbelief, madness … All kinds of emotions surged in their hearts, making each of them want to roar to the sky and report what happened here to the Bright Night Department as soon as possible.
And the five practitioners of the Divine Craftsmen Department beside Zhuge Yun, at this time, looked at Li Mu with deep awe.
If it could be said that their previous flattery towards Li Mu was only because Zhuge Yun treated Li Mu differently, then at this moment, they deeply felt the weight of this young man. It was afraid that he was not the slightest bit lower than their own division leader, or even higher.
"I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing when I came to drink. Brother, it is really fun in Huining City." The coldness all over Li Mu's body dissipated. With a smile on his face, he turned to Zhuge Yun and said, as if that cold and cruel person was not him at all.
Zhuge Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"You think it's fun because you have the energy."
If it was someone else, perhaps at this time, they would not even be able to cry.
"Brother, thank you for your hospitality today. I still have something to do, so I will leave first." Li Mu cupped his hands.
Zhuge Yun nodded and said, "Okay, when I have time, I will personally go to the Bright Night Department to visit you."
Li Mu took Li Shang and the other four people and left.
Zhuge Yun stood at the door of the Hall of Virtues and watched Li Mu and the others leave. His expression was complicated, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.
This Li Mu was really a weirdo. Whatever he encountered, he could make a big move.
In this way, not to mention the negative effects, perhaps in the entire Huining City, there was no one who did not know the name of the Bright Night Department. In the future, when other parties, if they encountered the Bright Night Department again, they would really have to carefully weigh their own weight before responding.
At the same time.
Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the hotel, Shopkeeper Huang, who was curiously watching the development of the situation, was lost in thought.
Over the years, because the war with the Extraterrestrial Demons was urgent, military departments such as the Ministry of Divine Crafts and the Thunder and Fire Department were very important in the 36 departments. And Lin Yuquan, the World-devastating Purple Thunder, was even more famous for his ruthlessness. He was strong and protective, like a stone in a latrine pit, stinky and hard. Shopkeeper Huang had almost never seen such a strong man admit defeat, even when he was faced with one of the Ten Elders.
But today … What, what was going on?
What was the background of the new head of the Bright Night Department?
Seeing Zhuge Yun and the others were about to leave, Shopkeeper Huang hurriedly chased after them and said loudly, "Your Honor Zhuge, wait, wait. I have a jar of recently obtained two-thousand-year-old 'Goddess's Tear'. Do you want to stay and taste it?"
A strange smile appeared on Zhuge Yun's face. After thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "If so, it would be impolite to refuse."
…
…
When Li Mu took Li Shang and the others to visit Yun Shuangyan's home in the Mud Alley, Yu Sanlun and the others finally returned to the camp of the Thunder and Fire Department.
"Where is the division leader?" Yu Sanlun's expression was so gloomy that it could almost drip water. He asked one of his personal guards.
"The head is waiting in the No. 1 hall. He said he would go to him as soon as Your Honor arrived," answered the guard.
At that time, the news of what happened in the Hall of Virtues hadn't completely spread to the Thunder and Fire Department.
Yu Sanlun came to the No. 1 hall of the Thunder and Fire Department with confusion and anger. After being informed by the head's guard, he entered the hall.
"You're here."
Lin Yuquan stood in front of the "chaotic thunder ball" in the center of the No. 1 hall, which symbolized the power of the Thunder and Fire Department. His voice was as calm as a piece of ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years.
"Your Honor." Yu Sanlun stepped forward and saluted.
Lin Yuquan waved his hand and ordered all the guards in the hall to leave. Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Yu Sanlun. "Are you very angry now?"
Yu Sanlun stiffened his neck, slightly lowered his head, and said, "I dare not."
"You dare not, but you're not angry?" Lin Yuquan said indifferently.
Yu Sanlun was hot-headed and said directly, "I just don't understand. The Bright Night Department is just a small department in name. It's already vulnerable. Even with Zhuge Yun's support, Your Honor wouldn't agree to the request of that bastard. It's not a big deal for me to lose face, but the face of the Thunder and Fire Department, as well as Your Honor's face, would be utterly disgraced."
He was Lin Yuquan's confidant and had always been highly valued. That was why he dared to say such words at this time.
Lin Yuquan didn't get angry. He said calmly, "If I tell you that the head of the Bright Night Department has more than one Holy Land of Martial Arts and more than one Martial Emperor behind him, what would you think?"
"What?" Yu Sanlun was shocked. "How … how is that possible?"
