That night.
"Young Master, something happened." The confidant came back in the middle of the night with a bloody face and reported to Mu Shun in panic.
"What happened?" Mu Shun frowned.
"Our people were all killed," the confidant said with his head lowered.
"Huh?" Mu Shun was very surprised and said, "It's just a woman at the early stage of the Mortal Realm. You can't even handle her? Does she have a powerful background?"
The confidant half knelt on the ground and said, "Not really."
"Then what happened?" Mu Shun asked.
The confidant hesitated and said, "That woman is the director of the All-directional Star Bureau."
"The All-directional Star Bureau?" Mu Shun had never heard of this name.
"It's a small transportation bureau, unknown and poorly managed. It's about to close down after being jointly suppressed by several competitors. There are not many experts in the bureau, so it's easy to deal with them …"
"Then what happened to you? Why did you lose so many people? "
"The people of the All-directional Star Bureau were no match for us at all. We were about to capture that woman, but who knew that an expert from the Mortal World would suddenly appear. His strength was tyrannical, and we were caught off guard." The confidant said, "I've already investigated it. This expert is from the Divine Land, surnamed Guo."
"Huh? The Divine Land? "Mu Shun's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"The Divine Land?
"Isn't this the planet where Li Mu the Wild Broadsword once lived?
"Surnamed Guo?"
"Since he can walk out of this inferior planet, he must be an amazing figure on that planet." Surnamed Guo … "A name came to Mu Shun's mind.
"Guo Yuqing."
The sects in the universe had investigated Li Mu very carefully. Even before Li Mu suddenly rushed into the universe, the major sects had done some research on Li Mu's network on the Divine Land.
And people like Guo Yuqing were also on the list of people to pay attention to.
Moreover, in the battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin, which caused heavy losses to the major sects in the universe, Guo Yuqing was also one of the main forces around Li Mu.
Mu Shun realized that the opportunity had come.
If the person who appeared in the All-directional Star Bureau was really Guo Yuqing, it would be great news.
As long as he caught Guo Yuqing, Li Mu would not be afraid of hiding.
The two of them were sworn brothers. Given Li Mu's temperament, once Guo Yuqing was in trouble, he would never sit by and do nothing.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Mu Shun was excited.
After listening to the detailed description of his confidant, Mu Shun decided to go to the All-directional Star Bureau in person.
He was confident in his own strength. After all, Guo Yuqing came from the inferior world. He was probably only in the Worm Realm. Even though his combat capability was formidable and he had killed several disciples of the Tianyi Palace, he should not be a match for him.
As long as he could capture Guo Yuqing and present her to his master to force Li Mu to show up, he would have made a great contribution. By the way, if he could capture that woman in white and pretend to be Li Mu, he could definitely improve his reputation in his master's eyes.
In this way, not only could he stabilize his position in Star Wind City, but everything that he had lost before would also return to his hands.
There was no time to lose.
Mu Shun was ambitious. After some preparation, he selected a few more trusted disciples and went to the All-directional Star Bureau.
…
All-directional Star Bureau.
Located in the south of Star Wind City, in the middle of South Straight Street, it was said to have a history of thousands of years.
South Straight Street was one of the main commercial streets in Star Wind City. It could be said that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. The old house where the All-directional Star Bureau was located, with two storefronts, occupied a large area. It could definitely be regarded as one of the most golden areas on South Straight Street.
In the past, the All-directional Star Bureau was also very famous in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. They had been escorting escorts everywhere, and all kinds of people had to show some respect to them. It could be said that they had been awe-inspiring for a while. But later, they made a mistake in a very important escort mission and suffered heavy losses. Later, they declined.
However, the land where the bureau was located had been saved with difficulty.
The current head of the bureau, Zuo Qingqing, was extremely talented. At the age of 16, she took over the position of the head of the bureau from her father, who had died of a serious illness. She barely managed to maintain the position with some brothers in the bureau. No one knew how much pressure she was under.
Tonight, the bureau was attacked, and Zuo Qingqing herself was almost taken away. Several people in the bureau were killed, and Older Liu and Younger Liu were also injured. The whole All-directional Star Bureau was shrouded in a kind of anger that a storm was brewing.
"Brother Guo, it's all thanks to you this time." Zuo Qingqing calmed down and thanked a tall, burly man with a beard.
Older Liu, Younger Liu, and the others also looked at the man.
No one expected that the person who saved everyone tonight was this little cultivator in the Worm Realm who had just joined the All-directional Star Bureau half a month ago. It should be noted that the reason why they agreed to let this man surnamed Guo join the bureau was that the bureau really couldn't recruit any more experts. So, they took him in when he was at a loss on the street.
Who would have thought that the real strength of this little cultivator in the Worm Realm turned out to be so fierce?
"Director and fellow brothers, don't stand on ceremony. If it weren't for Director taking me in, I might still be begging in the city. As a member of the Star Bureau, this is what I should do." The bearded man was very humble.
He was Li Mu's sworn brother, Guo Yuqing.
After a pause, Guo Yuqing still reminded her, "Those people tonight seem to be coming for you, Head. I'm afraid they won't let you go."
Zuo Qingqing also nodded.
She felt a little heavy and worried.
Because judging from their martial arts, the other party was clearly from the Tianyi Palace, and they were indeed coming for her. She couldn't figure it out.
The decline of the All-directional Star Bureau had something to do with the suppression of some forces in Star Wind City. But the Tianyi Palace was high and mighty, so they would basically not participate in this kind of business competition. Why did they use such dark means to deal with her tonight?
A deep worry rose in her heart.
Older Liu said, "Sister Xiaoqing, if you can't do it, you'd better hide for a while and leave the bureau. Let's see what happens first. If the other party …"
Before his voice died away, Guo Yuqing noticed something. His expression changed. He looked at the night sky in the north, shook his head, and said, "It's too late. The other party is coming again!"
The sound of something breaking through the air was heard.
Dozens of figures, like succubi in the dark night, landed around the house of the All-directional Star Bureau and surrounded it.
"Kill them. Except for the target, spare no one."
Mu Shun's cold voice rang out in the sky.
…
…
The night was as dark as water.
"Rumble!"
A deafening sound came from the south of the Immortal Pavilion.
In the quiet room of the courtyard, Li Mu, who was practicing his Cultivation Method, sensed something. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the explosion.
"Some experts are fighting!"
Li Mu felt strange.
In the middle of the night, someone was making such a big noise in Star Wind City. The strength of the people fighting was at least above the middle stage of the Mortal Realm. The powerful fluctuation of Primordial Qi was clearly surging in the night sky. Perhaps all the martial arts masters within a radius of hundreds of miles could feel it.
The laws in Star Wind City were strict. If cultivators fought in the city, they could easily destroy the buildings and affect other people. The higher the strength, the greater the damage. This was against the law, and it was regarded as a challenge to the authority of the Star Alliance.
Once the cultivators who broke the law were caught by the law enforcement team, they would be fined and sent to jail, or even killed.
The law forbade a fight with such a strong fluctuation of power.
These thoughts flashed in Li Mu's mind.
He wanted to continue to regulate his breathing and cultivate, but for some reason, he suddenly found it difficult to calm down. This kind of situation rarely happened before.
"Huh? Sudden Inspiration? "
Li Mu frowned.
When a martial arts practitioner cultivated to a certain level, he could sense the Heavenly Being and capture a wisp of qi that was related to him, which was the so-called "Sudden Inspiration".
This meant that something related to him had happened.
And what made Li Mu so uneasy was very likely to happen not far from him, probably in Star Wind City.
"This is strange. I have no relatives or friends in Star Wind City, and I don't know anyone …" Li Mu found it hard to understand.
After thinking for a while, he got up and went out. He picked up Ding Yi, who was sleeping soundly in the side room, and asked him to inquire about the news.
Ding Yi's talent in this aspect was absolutely unparalleled. Li Mu had long been convinced that he was the right person to inquire about the news.
Ding Yi, who was woken up by Li Mu's kick, was so angry that his face turned livid. But he couldn't dissuade Li Mu, so he yawned and went out.
In less than two hours, Ding Yi came back in a hurry.
"Sect Master, something big really happened. Mu Shun of the Tianyi Palace led his men to besiege the All-directional Star Bureau. After a bloody battle, the All-directional Star Bureau was destroyed. Only Zuo Qingqing, the bureau chief, and two other subordinates escaped …" Ding Yi said.
"What?!"
Li Mu was dumbfounded.
"The All-directional Star Bureau was destroyed?"
"During the day, I just spent a gold-colored fairy crystal to apply for the top VIP card of the All-directional Star Bureau. I haven't had time to enjoy the service. But now you tell me that the All-directional Star Bureau was destroyed by the Tianyi Palace?"
Li Mu felt like ten thousand horses were galloping in his heart.
"But … no."
The destruction of the All-directional Star Bureau and the loss of a gold-colored fairy crystal shouldn't make Li Mu so uneasy that he couldn't meditate and cultivate. "Is there something else?"
Ding Yi didn't know that Li Mu had applied for a VIP card of the All-directional Star Bureau. Sect Master naturally wouldn't let a third person know about such an embarrassing thing.
Therefore, Ding Yi gloated a little and said, "Speaking of which, Zuo Qingqing probably can't escape. But Mu Shun is such an unlucky guy. I guess he ate some dog shit recently. A few days ago, his legs were broken by Second Senior Fellow Apprentice. This time, I don't know why, but a tough guy named Guo Yuqing popped out of the All-directional Star Bureau and broke his legs again. Then, Guo Yuqing also took Zuo Qingqing and escaped. Now, the law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace is so angry that they put Zuo Qingqing and Gu Yuqing on the wanted list in the whole city."
"What?"
This time, Li Mu was taken aback.
"Brother Guo?"
"How did he step into the universe and come to Star Wind City?"
It was not that there were people with the same name in the world. But Li Mu was almost sure in an instant that the Guo Yuqing Ding Yi mentioned must be his sworn brother. That was a kind of telepathy between brothers.
Now, he couldn't think about the cause and effect behind it anymore.
"Brother Guo is in danger."
Li Mu realized that he couldn't hide anymore.
The Tianyi Palace's attack on the All-directional Star Bureau probably had something to do with Brother Guo. No matter how dangerous it was, Li Mu couldn't just sit back and do nothing. He thought for a moment and said to Ding Yi, "You continue to collect information, especially about this Guo Yuqing. You'd better find out where they have escaped to … If you have any news, contact me with the message token."
