Seeing this, Feng Yuanxing felt it was no longer appropriate to hide anything. He roughly recounted what had happened in the past few days and tried his best to be tactful, "Not long after the conflict broke out, these fellow countrymen and brothers were killed. However, it can't be that coincidental. Young Master Huang's group is suspicious."
"Not just suspicious. It must be him."
"It must be that guy surnamed Huang."
"Your honor, please redress our grievances."
Those villagers and the families of the deceased all knelt on the ground, begging and wailing. They knew they could not afford to offend that Young Master Huang, so they could only pin their hopes on Li Mu.
While they were talking, an indifferent voice said, "Humph, a bunch of unruly people. Do you have any proof? How dare you slander me? How audacious you are! "
The crowd looked over.
Huang Wenyuan walked out of the gate with a faint smile on his face.
Behind him, Elder Liu, who had white hair and a ruddy complexion, the white-haired guard with a scar, and many other guards also walked out.
Li Mu's eyes fell on Huang Wenyuan. He sensed an extremely powerful energy fluctuation.
He was an expert in the Celestial Being Realm.
A very young Celestial Being Realm expert with an extraordinary background.
Then, Li Mu's eyes darted to Liu Chong. He immediately noticed that the old man with white hair and a ruddy complexion was the one with the most formidable strength. The energy fluctuations emanating from him were as deep as an ancient well, bottomless and without any ripples. Clearly, his cultivation had reached an extremely profound level, far surpassing that of Huang Wenyuan, the young Celestial Being.
As for the white-haired old guard with a scar … He was an expert at the peak of the Natural Realm. What was worth noting was that there was a murderous and bloody aura about him that had not dissipated. He had just killed someone.
Li Mu had already made a judgment in his mind.
"You are Li Mu?" Huang Wenyuan glared at Li Mu and sneered, "I've been ordered to replace you as the county magistrate of this place. How dare you refuse to perform your duties under the pretext of closed-door training? Humph, who gave you the nerve to do that?"
As soon as he said that, the villagers who had gathered around immediately burst into an uproar.
"What? Your honor Li is leaving? "
"The new county magistrate?"
"Why did he transfer Your Honor Li?"
"No, Lord Li can't leave."
All kinds of comments and exclamations erupted like a volcanic eruption. Everyone was excited. Even those family members who were in deep sorrow looked at Li Mu in shock.
They didn't know that Li Mu was about to step down as the county magistrate, so they couldn't accept it. They finally had a good official who could really make decisions for the people. In the past few months, they finally lived a good life without worrying about being bullied. If Li Mu left, it would be a nightmare for them to return to the previous life.
Li Mu raised his hand and pressed down.
The agitated county people immediately quieted down.
"There's no such thing. I won't leave Taibai County. Don't worry. "Li Mu said seriously," These guys are liars. "
When Huang Wenyuan heard this, he almost stumbled and fell down the stairs.
What?
He looked at Li Mu in disbelief.
It was impossible for Li Mu not to know about this. How dare he say that?
What did he rely on?
Was this person crazy?
But the county people obviously wouldn't think so much. When they heard such words, they immediately cheered.
Li Mu raised his hand and pointed at the old guard with a knife scar behind Huang Wenyuan, saying, "You, yes, it's you. You have the smell of blood on you. You just killed people. Come out. You killed these villagers and soldiers, didn't you?"
The old guard's face changed. He sneered and said, "Boy, don't talk nonsense."
Li Mu sneered and said, "You dare to do it but dare not admit it? Well, it seems that you will tell the truth only when you are captured and tortured. "
The old guard with a knife scar and white hair laughed disdainfully as if he had heard a funny joke.
Huang Wenyuan also shook his head and said with a sneer and disdain, "Li, you are no longer the county magistrate. Why are you still pretending here? What? Are you addicted to being an official? Even now, you still want to show off and try the case? "
"Where the f * ck do you come from, idiot? Get out of my way." Li Mu stared at Huang Wenyuan and said unceremoniously, "I will deal with this old man with a scar first, and then I will deal with you …" As he said, Li Mu looked at the old guard with a knife scar and white hair and said, "Do you want to come out by yourself, or do you want me to break your legs and drag you out?"
He was enraged, and when he spoke, he immediately cursed without holding back.
The old guard with a knife scar and white hair laughed disdainfully and said, "Since I joined the Guanshan Pasture, no one has ever dared to speak to me like this. I …"
"That's because you haven't met a tough guy." Li Mu didn't want to talk nonsense and directly launched an attack.
He flashed like a ghost and instantly came to the old guard with a knife scar and white hair. His five fingers were like dragon claws and directly grabbed at the old guard. The strength of his fingers was like a knife, directly grabbing in the void and creating layers of air waves.
"So fast!"
The old guard with a knife scar and white hair only saw a blur in front of him, and then Li Mu was already in front of him. In shock, he backhanded to pull out the chopping knife at his waist. But with a bang, Li Mu had already changed his claw into a palm and slapped the back of the old guard's hand at a faster speed. In an instant, with a crack, the old guard's entire right hand was smashed like a rotten watermelon and turned into a pile of mud.
"Ah …" The old guard with a knife scar and white hair screamed.
Li Mu backhanded and grabbed the old guard's throat, squeezing the old guard's scream back. Then, like picking up a chicken, Li Mu picked him up and retreated.
The whole process was as fast as lightning.
The first one to react was Elder Liu Chong. He raised his white eyebrows and shouted angrily, "How dare you!" He directly launched a palm. His fingertips were suffused with golden light, and with sharp killing intent, he slapped at Li Mu. At this moment, within a radius of 10 meters, the power of heaven and earth surged crazily like a chain. The strength of a veteran in the Celestial Being Realm was displayed incisively and vividly.
"Old thing, you look like a gentleman, but you're not a good guy."
Holding the old guard with one hand, Li Mu unclenched his other hand into a palm and directly slapped at Liu Chong.
"You're courting death!" Killing intent swirled in Liu Chong's wrinkled eyes.
"How dare you take my palm?"
"You're courting death yourself!"
"I can seize this opportunity to finish off this troublemaker with one palm strike and kill him on the spot."
In an instant, he activated a stronger force. A stream of hidden force gushed out of his palm.
"Boom!"
The two palms met. A wave of energy surged out with the two palms as the center in an instant, like a mountain torrent.
Liu Chong felt a great jolt in his wrist, as if his bones were fractured.
At the same time, the stream of hidden force he launched vanished without a trace like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
He gave a muffled groan. His body trembled and swayed a few times on the spot.
Li Mu, on the other hand, retreated like a willow catkin. At the same time, as he waved his long sleeves, an invisible force surged in the air like a gentle breeze. In an instant, the horrifying aftermath of the fight between the two was dissolved into nothingness. Then, Li Mu landed lightly on the spot.
"You …"
Liu Chong stared at Li Mu in disbelief.
Just now, he did not hold back at all. But this young man was able to fight on equal footing with him? No, it should be said that the cultivation Li Mu showed was even higher than his, because he still had some energy left to neutralize the energy fluctuations of the two, so that the county residents crowding around would not be hurt by the shockwaves.
"How is that possible?"
"Step back!" Li Mu shouted as he landed on the ground.
Feng Yuanxing and the others got the hint and immediately moved the 16 corpses away. Then, they asked the surrounding county residents to step back 30 or 40 meters away, leaving a large open space.
"Bang!"
Li Mu directly tossed the old guard with a scar on the ground.
"Guards, break this old dog's arms and legs first." Li Mu ordered.
"You … How dare you?" The old guard with white hair and a scar bellowed. Like a wounded beast, one of his hands had already been smashed into a pile of mud. His cultivation was also directly sealed by Li Mu's natural qi. At this time, he did not even have the strength to resist.
"Old thing, a life for a life. How dare you be so arrogant on the verge of death?" Li Mu's killing intent was boiling.
He directly grabbed the old guard by the neck and slapped him several times. The old guard's face was swollen like a ripe peach that had fallen on the ground. Then, he turned around and said, "Bring me iron rods. Beat him!"
After a moment of hesitation, several guards in the county government gritted their teeth, picked up the iron rods, and directly smashed the old guard's arms and legs.
They knew that Huang Wenyuan was here to take over Li Mu's post. Since he had completed all the necessary paperwork in the empire, he was by no means a "liar" as Li Mu said. So, he was probably telling the truth. However, that white-haired old dog had killed ten county residents. Taibai County was not a large county. Everyone was from the same village, and some of them were even related to each other. Moreover, six of their comrades had also died in the hands of that white-haired old dog. Although they were afraid, they were all hot-blooded young men. Who didn't have a f * cking gun in their pants? So, regardless of everything else, they decided to beat Huang Wenyuan first to avenge their dead comrades.
"Ah …"
The old guard with white hair and a scar screamed.
He never dreamed that he would end up like this.
He was not a body cultivator. Although his physical strength was not bad, under the situation where his protective true energy was sealed, he would still feel pain. One or two strikes might not be able to break his bones, but if they continued to hit him, the pain would be enough to make him faint.
"Stop! Stop right now!" At this time, Huang Wenyuan came to his senses and said angrily, "Li Mu, you are courting death. How dare you hurt people? Do you know what you are doing? Do you know who Bodyguard Sun is? You … "He absolutely did not expect that his gaffe would develop to such an extent.
Li Mu raised his eyebrows, stared at him, and sneered, "I don't care who he is. An old dog dares to kill people in my Taibai County, so he must die. "As he said, he turned around and said," Haven't you f * cking eaten? Give me some strength. If you can't break him, cut him with a knife … "
The guard with red eyes suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and looked directly at the legs of the old guard with white hair and a scar.
"Damn it." Huang Wenyuan was furious.
He directly took action. With a flick of his fingers, several streaks of red invisible Sword Qi directly attacked those county guards. He said angrily, "A bunch of little bugs, you don't know what's good for you … Go to hell, all of you."
Li Mu took a step forward, as if teleporting, and stood in front of the guards. He reached out and grasped all the invisible Sword Qi in his hands, and directly crushed them with his bare hands.
"You dare to fight in front of me?" Li Mu stared at Huang Wenyuan and said, "Humph, this old dog with white hair is the murderer who killed the people and guards of my county, but you, the dog, must be the one behind the scenes. Well, get over here."
