"How dare you!"
"Do you have the right to speak in Taibai City?"
Before the others said anything, the Four Men's Symphony started to scold him.
"Xu Zhi, do you know who you are talking to?" The hook-nosed man glared at the young guard captain of the Qin State with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
The guard sneered and said indifferently, "I've already had a taste of the four Divine Generals of Taibai City. Haha, I wonder if the poetic and martial arts genius known as the Lord of Taibai City really lives up to his name."
He looked at Li Mu with a provocative look.
Li Mu ignored him.
Qin Zheng, the emperor of the Qin State, turned around and shouted, "General Xu, don't be rude. His Honor Li is the benefactor of me and my royal sister … Hurry up and apologize to him."
The young guard captain named Xu Zhi looked reluctant, but he still bowed and said, "Yes."
When he was about to say something, Li Mu waved him off and said, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with a kid."
This Xu Zhi should be a rising star. His talent and cultivation were outstanding, and he was able to compete with the four disciples of the Hunyuan Sect. It was inevitable that he would be proud of himself.
"My royal sister has always missed Your Honor," Qin Zheng added.
In Li Mu's mind, the figure of the incomparably beautiful swordswoman in white in Peace Town emerged. There was also a story between him and the former eldest princess, Qin Zhen. But it was a long time ago. For Li Mu, it was just a charming period in his life. He did not want to have too many extravagant expectations.
But they were friends after all.
He nodded and said, "If I have time, I will visit Her Highness."
Qin Zheng was slightly stunned.
Did he mean that if he didn't have time, he wouldn't visit her?
After a few more words, Qin Zheng felt the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he left Taibai City with the excuse that he was busy with government affairs.
Before leaving, the young man named Xu Zhi looked back at Li Mu and said with a cold smile, "In today's world, it's not a big deal to break through the void and ascend to heaven. Some so-called martial arts legends used to be famous on the Divine Land, but when they went to the outside world, they lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. They lost their dignity and had to try their best to escape back …"
After that, he swaggered off.
Seeing the Qin Emperor and the others leaving, Li Mu furrowed his brows slightly.
In a flash, many county residents and some old acquaintances came to see Li Mu. A busy afternoon soon passed.
Night fell.
Li Mu held a small private dinner to entertain some of his closest friends.
During the banquet, Li Mu took out the immortal wine in the galaxy and drank with everyone.
When they were enjoying the wine, Xu Sheng, the Highest Elder of the Yue Mountain Faction, suddenly said, "Brother, when the emperor of Qin heard that you're back, he came here at once. He said that he would like to thank you for your kindness in the past, but he didn't bring any gifts with him. Instead, he brought guards and armored soldiers. Xu Zhi was rude, but he didn't get much punishment … Brother, you have to be careful. Qin State is the number one military empire on the continent now.
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not worth mentioning."
At this time, Qiu Yin also chimed in, "Young Emperor has been in power for no more than five years. With great power in hand, he has reached the pinnacle of his life. His ambition is expanding fast. Our Guanshan Pasture and the Qin Court have also had many conflicts in the past six months."
His words were very euphemistic, but they also expressed the same meaning as Xu Sheng.
The Guanshan Pasture used to be the Holy Clan of the Western Qin Empire, which supported the fate of the Western Qin Empire. Later, when the chaos broke out, Li Poyue died in battle, and the Guanshan Pasture was occupied by villains, so its influence on the Qin Empire gradually declined.
Especially now, as the Western Qin Empire accumulated strength with the influence of Taibai City and annexed the Northern Song and the Southern Chu, the nine Holy Clans in the past no longer existed, and the power of the royal family was infinitely increased, which led to a complete change in the relationship between the Guanshan Pasture and the Western Qin Empire, resulting in many conflicts.
Li Mu slowly put down the wine cup.
Few people on the Divine Land knew what happened in the galaxy, especially the things related to him. Even before, when the Dark Yellow Army landed on the Divine Land, it was relatively hidden.
He wanted to keep a low profile.
Taking the Divine Land as the home planet of the Dark Yellow Army did not mean that he would slaughter the primitive residents. Otherwise, it would be no different from what the six major clans did.
But Li Mu underestimated the ambition of some people.
"Over the past year or so, the Western Qin Empire has sent envoys several times, hoping that our Taibai City could surrender to the Qin Empire, but we were all turned down," Feng Yuanxing said.
"Being in the emperor's company is like being with a tiger." Ma Junwu also sighed with emotion.
Although their words were nondescript, Li Mu still sensed something from the words of those "old men" in Taibai City.
He began to consider something that he had ignored before.
When Qin Zheng was a child, he was a simple little boy who could distinguish right from wrong. But under the pressure of his sister, he began to practice the emperor's mind. So, after he became an emperor, his ambition and growing fickleness might really break out in his bones.
And Li Mu had killed many members of the royal family of the Western Qin, from lords to princes, and from princes to emperors … The father of Qin Zheng, the current emperor, was also killed by Li Mu.
As a matter of fact, there was a deep hatred between Li Mu and the royal family of the Qin Empire.
Back then, he was not called the "Terminator of the Royals" for nothing.
"I didn't want to mess with the dynasties in this world."
Li Mu rubbed between his eyebrows and stood up. Looking at the people present, he raised his glass and said, "But if someone ruins my plan, I will show no mercy."
Earth and the Dark Yellow Clan had reached the most dangerous time.
Li Mu knew that he had to sort out the "internal affairs" as soon as possible and then free up his hands to meet the army of the six races. If anyone dared to stand in his way, Li Mu would never show any mercy.
While they were talking, the sound of drums suddenly came from outside.
Ma Junwu's face changed. He said, "Your honor, I'll be back soon."
He left in a hurry.
About 10 minutes later, he came back with an unconcealable anger on his face. He knelt on one knee and reported, "Your honor, an urgent report came from the Great Moon Empire. The army of the Qin Empire attacked the ten cities and nine counties and besieged Longcheng Pass. The flames of war were ignited. The Great Moon Empire was sneakily attacked and suffered heavy losses.
"Huh?"
"Such a thing happened again?"
"The army of the Qin Empire attacked the Great Moon Empire?"
Li Mu immediately thought of Yu Hualong, the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire, and Li Anzhi, the baby he adopted.
Yu Hualong obtained the cultivation method of the Ghost Rally Star and became the current Great Moon King. As for Li Anzhi, she was called the little princess of the Great Moon Empire because of Li Mu.
The two of them should have received the news that Li Mu was back, but they did not show up today.
"Did they return because of the outbreak of war?"
"Your honor." At this time, Feng Yuanxing also came up and said in a low voice, "I just received the news that the Great Moon King and the little princess were attacked on their way to Taibai City. The guards accompanying them suffered heavy casualties. The whereabouts of the Great Moon King and Li Anzhi are unknown."
"What?"
"Who dares to attack the Great Moon Empire?"
"Sneaky attack?"
When Xu Sheng, Qiu Yin, and the others heard the news, they were all shocked and found it hard to believe.
"This is a big event."
Li Mu slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Some people are really courting death."
"Let's go to the scene of the attack."
Li Mu led Qiu Yin and the others, and in a few breaths, they arrived at the spot where the people of the Great Moon Empire were attacked.
Corpses were everywhere, and the blood had dried up.
A massacre had taken place here.
Many of the soldiers of the Great Moon Empire died with grievances and were lying in a pool of blood.
Around the battlefield, the martial artists of Taibai City were in charge of guarding and maintaining order.
Li Mu glanced at the scene, shook his head, and said, "It's not a sneaky attack. It's a trap. Before the battle, these soldiers of the Great Moon Empire had been poisoned."
On the battlefield, he caught a glimpse of the aura of some attackers.
With the use of the Dao technique, he could see clearly where the attacker had gone in an instant.
"Go after them."
Li Mu was going to intervene.
