Chapter 1039 The Inquisition
“Can’t we deal with them?” Li Mu smiled faintly and said no more.
In the past, he might not have been able to take action. But now…
“Mr. Song, you go back and make arrangements immediately. Keep an eye on those involved commanders of the Legion Kommodore,” Li Mu Way said. “I’ll be there soon.”
“Yes, sir!”
Song Bie was full of expectations.
The Inquisition had been suspended for so long that all parties had forgotten the fear of being controlled by the Inquisition. Now that the new Chief had arrived, it was time to regain the glory of the Inquisition.
Those who had watched the battle on the edge of the Earth would have confidence in Li Mu like Song Bie.
After all, he had a master who could defeat an emperor.
After the people of the Inquisition evacuated, the reconstruction of Oststern was immediately on the agenda.
Thousands of disciples of the Sword Sect of Mount Shu were now the main force of the reconstruction of Oststern. In addition, there were millions of ghost pract.i.tioners and the Children of the Moon living in the Heaven and Earth Rings. Therefore, he did not lack manpower at all.
This time, Li Mu did not leave the whole job to others. Instead, he discussed with the others the structure, layout, buildings, and so on of the Taixuan Academy.
“The academy is divided into four levels. They are the primary school, the junior high school, the high school, and the college.” Li Mu said.
This was not an impromptu idea he came up with on the spot. He had carefully considered it. The academic cla.s.sification system on Earth was very logical and scientific. It was also suitable for the cultivation of martial art.
Naturally, no one objected to the proposal of Li Mu.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu and the old faker even looked at Li Mu with evil smiles.
Of course, these were just the levels of the studies, not the teaching content.
The area of Oststern was not large at first. Moreover, it had been destroyed before. Therefore, all the buildings were directly overturned and rebuilt. The tombs where the villagers were buried were rearranged and moved. Everything was in order.
Fortunately, after a long cold season, the Tree of Eternity in the village grew again toward the eighth-level Tree of Eternity. It doubled the area of Oststern, so it could barely accommodate all the villagers.
After Li Mu promised him all kinds of benefits, the old faker made a move and set up a tactical deployment around Oststern. All Li Mu’s attainments in tactical deployments were pa.s.sed down from the old faker, which could shock all parties. The tactical deployment attainments of the old faker were great. With his help, the entire Oststern would have a safe defense.
Qing Feng settled the Athanasia Immortal Palace in the core area of Oststern underground.
Millions of ghost pract.i.tioners from the Ghost Star all lived there.
One month pa.s.sed.
The Taixuan Academy had been half-built.
Moreover, Qing Feng finally improved his control of the Athanasia Immortal Palace.
“It seems that the expert of the Tiger Race lost is still alive in the seventh palace.” Qing Feng said.
He personally entered the seventh palace of the Athanasia Immortal Palace and took out the little tiger like a stray orange cat.
The seventh palace was behind the Athanasia Sky Gate. At that time, all the forces, including Li Mu, were fighting for the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless, but none of them were able to cross the sixth palace, the Athanasia Sky Gate. Therefore, they didn’t know the seventh palace at all. When Qing Feng constantly refined the Athanasia Immortal Palace, he learned that there were several palaces after the sixth palace.
The tiger like a little orange cat lay on the ground, skinny and weak, trembling, on the verge of dying.
“Eh? Little fellow, are you my own kind?”
When the demon tiger, who had explored the ancient ruins on Earth, saw the tiger, he immediately became interested and poked the little tiger with his claws.
He had been eating and drinking well in Randeng Temple for a period of time and was quite proud. But now, when he came to the Battlefield of Chaos, he was bullied by the silly Samoyed dog. Every day, he felt both painful and happy.
“Junior, you’re being rude. Back off!” The little tiger let out a furious roar.
But the roar sounded like a meow in a childish voice.
“The expert of the Tiger Race is so powerful. He deserves to be called a peerless figure of the Tiger Race. He’s still alive after being trapped in the Athanasia Immortal Palace for so long.” Li Mu sighed with emotion.
However, he had been isolated from the world for a long time and had been refined by the seventh palace of the Athanasia Immortal Palace. As a result, his breath was weak, and his vitality and Source Energy had been consumed. However, he insisted and did not die. He could only slowly recover. At this time, he was only the size of a palm. How could he still have the majesty of a king of beasts?
For a moment, the Earth demon tiger licked the little tiger recklessly for no reason. He looked up at Li Mu and said, “Your honor, can I adopt him? I will treat him well.”
“He’s courting death.”
Li Mu sighed with emotion, nodded with a smile, and said, “Okay.”
The demon tiger was overjoyed.
However, after half a day, he couldn’t laugh anymore.
The Tiger Race received the message sent by Li Mu through the Inquisition that almost all the experts of the race had come to Oststern to welcome the little tiger.
As soon as the Earth demon tiger saw the big golden demon tiger in the sky, he was so scared that he s.h.i.+vered. Then he saw dozens of top demon tigers respectfully wors.h.i.+ping the little tiger as if he was their ancestor. The Earth demon tiger was so scared that he trembled.
He seemed to understand something.
“Take him away with us.” The angry voice of the little tiger sounded more childish, pointing to the Earth demon tiger.
“Er…” The golden demon tiger looked at Li Mu in embarra.s.sment.
Li Mu laughed heartily and said, “Take him away.”
“Save me, your honor.” The Earth demon tiger was taken away in horror.
“Chief Li, our Tiger Race will never forget your kindness. If you need us in the future, we will never refuse.” The golden demon tiger made a promise with great grat.i.tude, rose into the air, and left.
After all, this was the territory of the Human Clan. They couldn’t stay here for long.
“Human pet, you gave my follower to those big cats. What if he is killed?” The Samoyed dog said with dissatisfaction.
Li Mu smiled and said, “He won’t die. Maybe it’s an opportunity.”
The matter of the Tiger Race came to an end.
However, there was no progress on the task entrusted by the Ape Race for the time being. Qing Feng could only see through the first seven palaces, not including the eighth palace. He couldn’t investigate the other palaces behind the seventh palace, so the clues of the new monarch of the Ape Race were probably in one of the palaces behind.
Li Mu also told the Ape Race about it through the Inquisition.
In the blink of an eye, two months pa.s.sed.
He calculated with his fingers and found that it was time to go to the headquarters of the Military of Man to perform his duties.
Li Mu handed over the duty of monitoring the building of Oststern to Ye Wuhen, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu, Guo Yuqing, and others. Then he set foot on the path to fulfill his duties in the Military of Man.
There was still a long way to go before he could build the Taixuan Academy into a new Holy Land.
The Military of Man was located in Huining City, Peace Land, the center of the lands.
Originally, Peace Land was named Shooting Land. Later, because the Military of Man was located here, the Conclave of Ten considered several proposals and finally decided to change its name to Peace Land. They hoped that it would be peaceful forever. Huining City was the largest city in Peace Land and also the number one city in the entire Battlefield of Chaos. After countless years of operation, it was impregnable and magnificent, covering an area within a radius of 800 kilometers and a population of more than 100 million.
Li Mu took the special flying shuttle of the Inquisition and pa.s.sed Huining City’s dozens of checkpoints along the way. Finally, he arrived at the official site of the Inquisition. There was an inverted mountain suspended in the air, which seemed to have been cut off by some powerful people. The mountain was upside down and crossed up, forming a fortress-like white building complex. Seen from the outside, it looked ancient.
Under the leaders.h.i.+p of the three Sword Envoys of the Inquisition, Lishang, Ying Bing, and Duan Gu, 100 Inspectors stood in neat rows at the gate of the fortress to welcome the new Chief.
Li Mu opened his Third Eye and glanced around. He found the average strength of the Inspectors of the Inquisition was in the Great Way Realm. He was secretly shocked. Their strength was much stronger than he had imagined. It was a strong force.
“Greetings, Chief.”
In the loud roar, the Sword Envoys and the Inspectors all got down on one knee to salute.
“Get up.”
Accompanied by Song Bie, Li Mu got off the shuttle and raised his hand.
“Withdraw and do your own job,” Li Mu turned around and said as he walked to the gate of the fortress.
The Inspectors were slightly taken aback.
They didn’t expect the new Chief to be so reticent. Before he arrived, they had already received his orders that he wouldn’t accept the congratulations from the other departments and forces in Huining City. Now it seemed even the various ceremonies and congratulations prepared by the Inquisition were useless.
Duan Gu, one of the four Sword Envoys, was also very surprised.
Among the four Sword Envoys, he was the only one that hadn’t gone to the Ziwei Star Zone because he was in charge of the Inquisition. He was the only Sword Envoy who had never seen Li Mu. However, when Song Bie and the others came back, they mentioned him many times and praised him highly. Therefore, Duan Gu also knew about Li Mu and looked forward to seeing him.
However, seeing was believing. When seeing Li Mu, he didn’t know why he couldn’t see through Li Mu for a while with his Eyes of Fire and Gold. He didn’t know what kind of person Li Mu was.
Accompanied by the four Sword Envoys, Li Mu entered the white fortress.
The interior of the fortress was like a military camp. Sunlight shone down from the Lazulum-like dome. Coupled with the reflection and guidance of the light from the tactical deployment, not only did the surroundings not dim, but it was also full of light. It was a kind of lively atmosphere.
The Inquisition claimed that they wanted to light up the dark forever, so the headquarters was full of light everywhere.
It was a comfortable environment.
Such an environment wouldn’t cause people’s minds to be warped, and they would naturally yearn for justice, right?
Li Mu speculated inwardly.
In the center of the hall of the fortress were about ten statues of people, each of which was more than 20 meters high. They were all lifelike and looked like the works of some top-level carving masters. Each of their facial features was like those of living people. Some of them were majestic, some were smiling faintly, and some were looking into the distance. All of them were full of imposing manners, which made people admire them at first glance.
“They are the previous 10 Chiefs of the Inquisition. They have all died.” Song Bie said in a proud and respectful tone.
Li Mu nodded.
“Every one of them is a hero, a peerless Heavenly Legend. They have never flinched in the face of darkness and evil. They all died in their posts,” Duan Gu added.
Li Mu almost stumbled.
“What?
“Were they all killed by others?”
No wonder the Inquisition had been suspended for so many years and no one had taken over the position of its Chief. It seemed that the position was more dangerous than he had imagined.
