"What happened?" Li Mu's expression changed.
Li Shang said with shame, "Yu Sanlun from the Thunder and Fire Department took the Yun family's people away. Our men tried to stop them but failed. Four of our men were killed. "
"How could that happen?"
Li Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness.
"Where are the Yun family's people?" he asked.
Li Shang said, "Our men followed them to the camp of the Thunder and Fire Department. Our men followed them out of the camp and didn't dare to go in again."
"Let's go to the camp of the Thunder and Fire Department to get them." Li Mu said and walked out.
"Yes, sir." Li Shang said, "I'll go with you now."
After a few steps, Li Mu suddenly stopped.
"Sir?" Li Shang asked in confusion.
Li Mu looked at the sunlight projected from the glazed dome in front of him. In the golden light, there were visible dust flying in the air. He suddenly realized a problem.
The Thunder and Fire Department not only took the Yun family's people but also killed the Bright Night Department's men, which was obviously a provocation. They were afraid that he wouldn't go to the Thunder and Fire Department to get them.
"A trap?"
Li Mu subconsciously rubbed his temples.
Although he was confident, he was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible.
The Thunder and Fire Department was a branch of the Thunder Tao Ancestral Mountain in the military. Li Mu had experienced the means of the Thunder Tao Ancestral Mountain. They would do anything to achieve their goals. Even the most despicable and shameless behavior was acceptable in their eyes.
"Did you find out why they took the Yun family's people?" Li Mu turned to Li Shang and asked.
Li Shang said, "They said that the Yun family colluded with the Extraterrestrial Demons. Yun You, the head of the Yun family, betrayed the human race and joined the Extraterrestrial Demons on the eastern front, which caused the eastern army to suffer heavy losses."
"What a big crime!"
Li Mu sneered.
Lei Zang of the Thunder Tao Ancestral Mountain framed him with the same crime.
"Even if Yun You betrayed the human race, the Bright Night Department should be the one to do it. This is our responsibility. The Thunder and Fire Department is not a law enforcement department. How can we overstep our authority?" Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is a trap. Use my token to send an official letter to the Thunder and Fire Department and ask them to hand over the man."
Li Shang immediately nodded and left.
"Wait." Li Mu added, "Be careful. The Thunder and Fire Clan has shed all pretenses of cordiality. They must have a backup plan. Be careful."
Li Shang was very grateful, he said loudly, "Don't worry, my lord, I will personally send the letter, I believe that the Thunder Fire Division will not dare to do anything to the sword operators, unless they want to rebel."
"Well, go ahead. No matter what, don't clash with them head-on. Wait until I'm ready," Li Mu said.
Li Shang answered loudly and left.
He stood where he was, waves of Sudden Impulse. From beginning to end, he vaguely felt that there were many strange things that he couldn't explain.
"We can't be too reckless. We have to ask for help."
After pondering for a long time, Li Mu turned around and returned to the white stone throne. He wrote two letters and asked Ying Bing to send them directly to the East Star Village through the Teleportation Portal.
Whether it was the old faker or the Sword King, as long as one of them came, the Bright Night Department would be invincible.
As soon as the letters were sent out, Duan Di, one of the four sword operators, suddenly stumbled in and said, "Your Honor, something happened …"
Li Mu frowned and said, "What happened this time?"
Duan Di's face was full of anger and sorrow. He said, "At the gate of the Thunder and Fire Division, Li Shang's head was hung. They said that he colluded with the rebels and trespassed into the Thunder and Fire Division …"
"What?"
Li Mu jumped to his feet.
He couldn't believe what he had heard.
"You saw it with your own eyes?" Li Mu asked.
Duan Di said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Your Honor, you have to avenge Li Shang. He died unjustly … "
Li Mu didn't say a word and directly walked out.
…
…
"Your Honor, isn't it too much to kill the sword operator of the Bright Night Department?"
In the Thunder and Fire Division, Yu Sanlun, the general commander, was a little nervous.
A few days ago, General Lin said that Li Mu's background was a bit scary and he shouldn't provoke him. But less than a month later, Li Shang, one of the four sword operators of the Bright Night Department, was killed and his head hung at the gate of the Thunder and Fire Division. That was a big contrast.
Lin Yuquan glanced at Yu Sanlun and said, "Too much? Killing a small sword operator is nothing. I want to kill Li Mu. "
Yu Sanlun's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Kill the chief of the Bright Night Department?"
He looked at Lin Yuquan in surprise.
Li Mu was appointed by the Ten Elders of the Military Ministry. How could he kill him?
Of course, he also wanted to kill Li Mu. But … was it because his Honor suddenly found out that Li Mu's so-called background was fake?
"Go." Lin Yuquan lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Yu Sanlun. He said, "Just do as I say."
"Yes, Your Honor." Yu Sanlun subconsciously glanced at the figure shrouded in a black hoodie sitting beside Lin Yuquan.
Since this person came to the Thunder and Fire Division, so many things had happened. Who on earth was this mysterious man? How could he make his Honor change his strategy of compromising in the face of the Bright Night Department?
Moreover, just now, it was this man who directly attacked and killed Li Shang, one of the four sword operators of the Bright Night Department. Li Shang was an expert in the Tao Master Realm, but he didn't even have time to react. Perhaps this man was at least in the Heavenly Master Realm.
"Who on earth is he?"
Yu Sanlun was puzzled and turned to leave.
When Yu Sanlun left the Conference Hall, Lin Yuquan slowly sat back down.
"Senior fellow apprentice, do the Yun family really have that magical item?" Lin Yuquan said, "We searched the whole yard of the Yun family but found nothing. Is it possible that the information is wrong? "
The figure shrouded in a black hoodie was motionless like a silent black statue. He said indifferently, "It doesn't matter whether we have it or not. If we have it, we'll give it to you. If we don't, we'll get rid of Li Mu, who publicly slapped you in the face. Are you not satisfied?"
"I dare not. But, behind Li Mu, there are the Dao Palace, the Hidden Sword Sea, and a mysterious Martial Emperor. If we do this, if they retaliate..." Lin Yuquan was still sweating.
The mysterious man in black said indifferently, "Someone will naturally deal with them. You don't need to worry about that."
Lin Yuquan had no choice but to agree.
Although he was highly respected in Huining City due to his status, he could still become cannon fodder or a chess piece if he was not careful when it came to matters of the Martial Emperor level. He had no choice but to tread cautiously as if he was treading on thin ice.
On the road of martial arts, if one did not become an Emperor, he would still be an ant.
"I'm going to the interrogation room." Lin Yuquan got up.
It was not until he left the Conference Hall that Lin Yuquan breathed a sigh of relief.
The nine successors of the Thunder Ancestral Mountain had all attained the Way at different times. For example, the [True Venerable Manifestation of the Nine Heavens Thunder] was the last to enter the sect, and his strength was also the lowest among the nine. Lin Yuquan was not considered late, but first, his aptitude was ranked low, and second, he was obsessed with power, so he was chosen to enter the human world and become the head of the Thunder and Fire Division.
These years, Lin Yuquan lived a carefree life in Huining City, but he also knew that in terms of cultivation, he was being surpassed by his fellow disciples. Even the [True Venerable Manifestation of the Nine Heavens Thunder], who used to be ranked last, would soon catch up with him.
Therefore, there was no need to mention a genius of the Thunder Path like Second Senior Brother.
Among the nine successors of the Thunder Ancestral Mountain, Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother entered the sect the earliest. They were biological brothers and were also the most favored by their teacher. These years, they had been following their teacher, the Thunder Ancestor, and devoted themselves to cultivation. Their strength was the strongest among all the successors, and had already surpassed the other disciples by a large level.
In the past ten years, Lin Yuquan had only gone back to the Thunder Ancestral Mountain once.
He clearly remembered that in the Thunder Ancestor Hall, the atmosphere instantly became silent and oppressive when Second Senior Brother showed up. That silence was not deliberately made by Second Senior Brother. Instead, when he showed up, a terrifying aura naturally spread out. The invisible pressure was like the natural pressure of a creature at the top of the food chain overlooking the creatures at the bottom.
It was not until that moment that he realized.
The man who had always covered his face under the black hoodie was no longer at the same level as him.
Since the last time they met, he had been in awe of him uncontrollably.
Until today, when they met again, the awe suddenly intensified.
Although they were fellow disciples of the same sect, Lin Yuquan really did not want to stay with Second Senior Brother for a second longer.
"Since Second Senior Brother has come in person, it must be a decision made by the sect. Li Mu is doomed. I just don't know how to deal with the wrath of the two Holy Lands after Li Mu's death."
With that in mind, Lin Yuquan went to the cell.
"Your honor." Zhou Tong, the second commander, came up to him.
"Did you get any news?" Lin Yuquan asked.
Zhou Tong lowered his head and said, "Not yet. The Yuns don't know where the family treasure is."
Lin Yuquan snorted and walked into the torture room.
Except for Yun Shuangying, the youngest daughter of the Yuns, who had always been like an ice statue, who was placed on a wooden bed next to him, the old woman, Yun You's wife, and Yun Shuangyan were all tied to the torture rack. Their clothes were covered with whip marks and blood. Obviously, they had all been tortured, especially Yun Shuangyan. She was the most severely tortured. Except for her face, almost all of her body was covered with cuts and bruises. Blood gathered into a pool at her feet.
"This boy is very stubborn," Zhou Tong said.
Lin Yuquan's eyes swept over the three and finally fell on the old woman. He said flatly, "I really don't know. It's useless to beat me to death. Ask the old one first."
"But this old thing is going to die at any moment. I'm afraid I'll kill her," Zhou Tong said.
Lin Yuquan said, "Of course not with ordinary torture."
He walked over to the old woman and said, "Back then, you were also a peerless figure in Huining City. It's a pity that you had to go all the way. Look at you now … If you obediently hand over that thing, I can promise you that the Yuns will not die out. You can all leave safely."
The old woman did not answer, but a faint sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"What a pity."
As Lin Yuquan spoke, he raised a hand and pressed it on the old woman's forehead.
"Read!"
He said in a low voice.
The old woman's smile became more obvious.
At the same time, Li Mu also came to the outside of the Thunder and Fire Clan.
He looked up at the gate of the Thunder and Fire Clan, where Li Shang's head was hanging high, dripping with blood.
"From now on, there will be no Thunder and Fire Clan in Huining City."
Li Mu clenched his fists.
Then, he flew up to the sky and went to take Li Shang's head.
