At this moment, Situ Rong was scared out of his wits.
His mind was blank.
How could something like this happen?
This Mu Mu's background was terrifying.
Great Immortal Lord personally appointed him as the Young Immortal Lord of Moon River Prefecture.
This position, according to the ranking of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, was one level higher than him, the deputy general of the Great Immortal Lord's military department. It wasn't scary, but what was scary was the message that Jiang Zhu had conveyed.
Great Immortal Lord admired Mu Mu.
Great Immortal Lord praised Mu Mu endlessly.
Great Immortal Lord personally selected experts to be the foundation of Mu Mu's Moon River Prefecture Immortal Lord.
Great Immortal Lord …
In short, the current Mu Mu was the favorite of Great Immortal Lord.
It was not an exaggeration to describe it with two words —
Simple in the Emperor's heart.
Otherwise, why would a powerful figure like Jiang Zhu travel tens of thousands of miles to the Extreme Emperor Cliff to personally announce the decree?
Why did he do this?
Wasn't it to get on Mu Mu's good side and form a good relationship?
Even Jiang Zhu had lowered his status, which meant that Situ Rong didn't even have the right to lower his status — he didn't deserve it.
Thinking of this, Situ Rong felt a wave of dizziness.
He knew that he was finished.
This time, in order to please General Shen Wanchuan, he had sacrificed himself.
Right, Shen Wanchuan?
Situ Rong's heart quivered when he thought of this name.
Even if the sky fell, someone tall would hold it up.
Why didn't he push the blame onto Shen Wanchuan?
After all, he was just 'following orders'.
"You are Situ Rong?" Jiang Zhu's gaze swept across and stared at this idiot, "If I remember correctly, you are Shen Wanchuan's deputy general?"
Situ Rong shuddered and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Lord, please understand. I am General Shen's Vice General. I came to Extreme Emperor Cliff under General Shen's orders. Military orders must be obeyed, and I have no choice but to obey them. I also admire Emperor Mu's Master very much. He personally killed Divine Guard Yu Ji and made a great contribution …"
"Oh?" Jiang Zhu said plainly, "Tell me, what happened?"
Situ Rong knew that his chance had come.
Therefore, he told the story of how the Sixth Army of the Military Mansion was ordered to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the rebel army and ran into Li Mu who had just killed Yu Ji on the way. In order to take Li Mu's credit, Shen Wanchuan slandered Li Mu as a murderer, ignored his "opposition" and insisted on going his own way. Then, he told the story of how Shen Wanchuan sent him to the Emperor Cliff to set up a trap to kill Li Mu.
As a powerful being, Jiang Zhu immediately understood what was going on.
He turned to look at Li Mu and said apologetically, "Little Friend Mu, I've let you see a joke. The Great Celestial Court is full of problems now. I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'll definitely give you an explanation for this."
Li Mu said, "It's no big deal."
Jiang Zhu continued, "Speaking of which, I have to congratulate my little friend Mu. You have unknowingly killed Yu Ji. This is a great contribution, second only to the killing of Fang Tianyi, a giant of a chaotic army. Hahaha, if you report this to your superiors, you will definitely be promoted to the next level."
Li Mu smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he pointed at Situ Rong and said, "Milord Jiang, how are you going to deal with this man?"
Jiang Zhu thought for a while and said, "This man can be regarded as a witness. He can prove that you killed Yu Ji, and he can also testify that Shen Wanchuan has tarnished your achievements. I'm going to take him back to the Great Celestial Court …"
Li Mu frowned and said, "This man and I have a deep hatred. I want to see him die now."
"Huh?" Jiang Zhu was stunned. He didn't expect Li Mu to be so resolute and ruthless. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "It's not difficult to crush him to death. But if he dies, I'm afraid it will take more effort to prove your contribution."
At this moment, Situ Rong was trembling with fear, and he hurriedly made use of every opportunity to beg. "Yes, yes, Immortal Master Mu, this lowly one was blind and offended you. I'm willing to atone for my crime and testify against Shen Wanchuan. Immortal Master Mu, I beg you, give me another chance. I'll surely prove your meritorious service in killing Yu Hen …"
But Li Mu didn't even cast a glance at him. Instead, he turned to Jiang Zhu and said, "To me, military exploits and whatnot don't matter. I only want to repay kindness and take revenge. My mind is clear. Those who offend me, no matter what price they have to pay, I want them dead. I don't want to leave any enemies alive."
His expression was calm, and his tone was mild.
But the decisiveness and ruthlessness in his words made Jiang Zhu, a giant of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, suddenly feel horrified.
"So ruthless."
"So ruthless."
"This is definitely a ruthless person who can't be easily provoked."
Jiang Zhu made a new evaluation of Li Mu in his heart.
"This character is very in line with the temper of Lord Dongfang."
"No wonder Lord Dongfang, no, it should be Great Immortal Master Dongfang, appreciates this person so much."
"In that case, my little friend, you can deal with this idiot." Jiang Zhu chuckled and said, "As for the achievement of killing Yu Ji, don't worry. I will find a way to help you get it back. I still have this little bit of power."
When Li Mu heard that, he smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Elder Brother Jiang is really righteous. I admire you very much. I will remember this favor, and I will repay it in the future."
Jiang Zhu was overjoyed when he heard that.
He spent so much effort to come from the Great Immortal Court to this remote place and humble himself just for Mu Mu's words, didn't he?
Li Mu pointed at Situ Rong, looked at He Yingxin, and said, "You know what to do, don't you?"
He Yingxin bowed and said, "I understand."
Then, he turned and walked towards Situ Rong.
How could Situ Rong not understand his fate at this time?
He was extremely frightened. With a sudden roar, he leaped up, turned into a stream of light, and was about to flee.
But He Yingxin just raised his hand, and a golden stream of light flashed out. Like a golden dragon, it instantly entangled Situ Rong's body and pulled him down from the air. Then, he fell to the ground like a dead dog.
"Ah, no, Immortal Master Mu, spare me. I was wrong. Give me a chance." Situ Rong knew that his time was up, so he begged frantically.
But there was not a trace of pity in Li Mu's eyes.
He Yingxin pointed a finger at Situ Rong's forehead, instantly shattering Situ Rong's Primordial Spirit and vitality, directly wiping out the immortal expert who had lost the ability to resist from this world.
After doing that, he looked as calm as if he had just killed a chicken. He silently retreated and stood behind Li Mu like a shadow.
Li Mu secretly praised him.
The man Dongfang Yeren chose was indeed very capable and experienced.
"And them." Li Mu pointed at the dozens of Heaven Generals who had been following Situ Rong the most fiercely these days.
He Yingxin waved his hand.
The elite Immortal Generals on the flying shuttle attacked, disregarding all the pleading and begging. In an instant, they killed all those people.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
He Chenzi saw this scene and was so scared that he almost wet his pants.
Those were all Heaven Generals of the Great Celestial Court.
They were killed without any hesitation.
It was even easier than slaughtering pigs and dogs.
At this moment, He Chenzi's back was covered in cold sweat.
He suddenly felt that when he went to visit Li Mu at the Happy House that day, he was so arrogant and thought that he was in control of the situation. But in fact, he was dancing in front of the Grim Reaper. In the end, he was able to leave safely.
This man was too ferocious.
In the future, he must serve him carefully and never disobey him.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
He Chenzi went up and bowed.
He was the Celestial Master of the Yuechuan Mansion and happened to be Li Mu's current direct subordinate. Naturally, he did not dare to be rude.
Li Mu nodded lightly.
Then, he looked at the ministers of Huangji Cliff who were kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear, and the dozens of guards.
Li Mu waved at the Royal Palace.
Empress Dowager Yin walked out with Young Astro Sovereign.
Li Mu greeted Empress Dowager Yin. Then, he rubbed the young Chen Emperor's head and said, "You once said that you would protect your mother like a real man. I'll give you a chance. Go there and kill all those who insulted your mother."
Young Astro Sovereign nodded. Without hesitation, he unsheathed the sword at his waist, walked over, and killed the dozens of guards on the spot.
Blood was everywhere.
Young Astro Sovereign's expression was still calm.
If he was asked to kill before the trip to the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion, he would not have dared to do it. But after the trip to the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion and witnessing the ugliness of the Immortal Realm, he had grown so much that he was mentally prepared.
Besides, those people really deserved to die.
It was too easy for them to kill those who insulted his mother and master so easily. Young Astro Sovereign was so angry that he even wanted to cut them into pieces.
Young Astro Sovereign didn't stop after killing those guards. He walked to the ministers, raised his hand, killed some more, and destroyed the cultivation of some ministers. Then, he stood in front of the ministers who didn't deserve to die with his sword.
He glanced at them calmly and indifferently.
Young Astro Sovereign said in an unprecedented calmness, "From now on, I am no longer the emperor of Huangji Cliff. There should be no force like Huangji Cliff in this world."
Everyone was stunned.
Especially the ministers of Huangji Cliff and the members of the royal family.
They looked up at Young Astro Sovereign in astonishment.
Young Astro Sovereign said, "You have wronged my master. This filthy and depraved royal family, and you short-sighted ministers, parasites of the royal family … You should all disappear. I won't kill you. You can live and die on your own."
Then, he took off the crown on his head, cut off the jade pendant on his waist, took off his royal robe, and threw them on the ground as if he was throwing away some smelly garbage.
"Don't …"
"Your majesty, you can't abandon us."
"Your majesty, please calm down. You have the blood of the royal family in your body. You can't do this …"
Some ministers begged with tears in their eyes.
Because at this moment, many of them suddenly realized that if they lost Young Astro Sovereign, they would lose Mu Mu. And if they lost Mu Mu, what would be left of Huangji Cliff?
Without Mu Mu's support, it would be a disaster.
They were full of regret, so they begged bitterly.
That was human nature. Only when they lost something would they know how to appreciate and cherish it. But it was too late.
