Chapter 760 Li Mu’s Wrath
Those who were well acquainted with Li Mu knew that he was angry.
Hua Xiangrong, Qing Feng, and Ming Yue didn’t come with Li Mu. They stayed in Taibai City to make some arrangements. Qiu Yin and Xu Sheng followed Li Mu. The two of them just saw the ripples in the void and changes in the scenery, and the next second they came to another place.
They exchanged glances, greatly shocked.
Actually, they didn’t know much about Li Mu’s deeds in the Star River because Li Mu ordered his people to keep those deeds confidential. Although they knew that Li Mu’s strength must have become very terrifying when he returned this time, they were still greatly shocked by his ability to take them to another place in a flash.
They came to a broad street.
There were lush green trees on both sides of the street.
On the street, there was a troop of about three thousand soldiers. These soldiers were all cavalrymen armed to the teeth and holding sharp weapons. Their equipment was rare and sophisticated. The troop did not have a flag, but in this world, only the Qin Empire could build such an elite troop.
Li Mu, Qiu Yin, and Xu Sheng hovered the air in front of the troop and blocked their way.
“Who are you?”
The leader of the troop was riding a black-jade Kirin, wearing a suit of black armor s.h.i.+ning with divine light. He was tall and st.u.r.dy, and his face was as black as charcoal. He gave off a strong aura. He was a high-level master in the Void-breaking Realm.
As he waved his hand, the troop of over three thousand cavalrymen suddenly stopped proceeding.
“Hmm? This person’s cultivation level is not low, but I don’t know him. The Qin Empire has some generals in the Void-breaking Realm, but I have never seen this person before,” Qiu Yin exclaimed his surprise.
Xu Sheng was also surprised. “It seems that the Qin Emperor has secretly cultivated a considerable number of trusted aides. It’s certainly better to let secret guards do this kind of thing.”
“What’s your name?” Li Mu looked down at the leader of the troop.
By that time, the leader with a black face seemed to have recognized Qiu Yin and Xu Sheng. After all, very few people didn’t know such famous people like the two of them.
The leader of the troop did not know Li Mu, but he clearly knew the social status of Xu Sheng and Qiu Yin and realized that Li Mu, a young man wearing a white robe, was obviously superior to these two martial arts masters on the Heavenly Land.
“I am Lie Tian,” the black-faced leader said calmly.
Li Mu said, “Did you plot against the envoy delegation of the Great Moon Empire and attack them? Where are the emperor of the Great Moon Empire and the little princess Li Anzhi?”
He activated his Divine Consciousness and scanned the soldiers of the troop, but he found that Yu Hualong and Li Anzhi were not among them.
Lie Tian looked as calm as usual. He said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re on a secret mission as ordered by our general. We’ve never heard of any delegation of the Great Moon Empire.”
Li Mu said, “My patience is very limited. Don’t test my patience. I’m going to ask you one last time. Where are they?”
“Ha-ha-ha, I don’t know who you are, but you shouldn’t think that you can talk to me like that just because you are a friend of the master of Guanshan Pasture and Elder Xu.” Lie Tian laughed wildly, looking more arrogant and colder. He said, “My patience is limited, too. I...”
Before he finished speaking...
Li Mu stretched out his hand, producing an invisible strong force. He directly s.n.a.t.c.hed Lie Tian from the back of the black-jade Kirin and pressed his big hand against Lie Tian’s forehead to read the latter’s memory.
“Ah... You...”
Greatly shocked and frightened, Lie Tian struggled desperately, but his effort was futile.
He felt like a small ant grabbed by a giant’s hand, unable to free himself. The memories in his mind involuntarily poured out like a flood.
“What kind of strength does this person possess?”
Lie Tian was a master in the Void-breaking Realm, and he had entered this realm for a long time. Even though he had been suppressing his power, he could still rank among the top-secret generals by the Qin Emperor’s side. However, he was so vulnerable in front of this white-robed young man.
All of a sudden, he couldn’t help feeling anxious and frightened.
“Attack!”
“Hurry up and save the general!”
The other leaders and soldiers of the troop immediately launched attacks after they saw what was happening.
They deserved to be the elites secretly cultivated by the Qin Empire. Although they were shocked, they still reacted very quickly.
Arrows ripped through the air like raindrops.
They were armor-breaking arrows specially designed and developed by the Magic Works Department of the Qin Empire. These secret weapons posed a great threat to martial arts masters and even those at the peak of the Sage Realm and in the Void-breaking Realm, especially when they were fired by the generals and soldiers who were martial arts masters.
This type of weapon was a source of the Qin Empire’s confidence.
However, those arrows were useless in the face of Li Mu.
Before they could get within ten meters of Li Mu, they suddenly turned into snowflakes fluttering and drifting down to the ground. They looked beautiful and fancy as they ripped through the void, but they posed no threat to Li Mu at all.
“What?”
“b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l...”
“Good heavens!”
The leaders and soldiers of the troop exclaimed in shock.
It was impossible for even an elite troop to maintain military order and discipline when its soldiers saw such an incredible scene.
“Um?”
Li Mu suddenly felt a very special force in the depths of Lie Tian’s memory. There was a mysterious figure that Li Mu didn’t remember, and even Lie Tian himself didn’t know its existence in his memory. Suddenly, the mysterious figure opened his eyes and looked at Li Mu. These two eyes shone brightly like flashes of lightning.
“Who are you? How dare you pry into my secrets?”
A vague voice crossed time and s.p.a.ce, turned into a wisp of consciousness with infinite killing intent, and charged at Li Mu.
“This is interesting.”
Li Mu activated his Divine Consciousness and smashed the wisp of consciousness into ashes.
“What?”
Obviously, the figure in the depths of Lie Tian’s memory didn’t expect that Li Mu would be so powerful.
In the next moment, the figure transformed itself into a surge of killing intent to tear Lie Tian into pieces.
“You’ve overestimated your power.”
With a stir of his mind, Li Mu directly destroyed the surge of killing intent.
He had actually managed to see and remember the look of that figure.
At the same time, he knew what he wanted to know.
“Let’s go to the Imperial Palace of the Qin Emperor.”
Li Mu casually threw Lie Tian to the ground.
“Have you found out the whereabouts of the emperor of the Great Moon Empire?” Qiu Yin asked, “Was it done by the Qin Emperor?”
Li Mu nodded with a gloomy look.
Xu Sheng sighed to himself. He knew that something big was about to happen in the Qin Empire.
“What about the war in the ten cities and nine regions of the Great Moon Empire?” Qiu Yin asked, “Should I go to Longcheng Pa.s.s to help?”
Li Mu said, “Okay.”
Then, he added, “If the troops of the Qin Empire refuse to stop the war, kill them without mercy.”
Qiu Yin said, “I’ll deal with it properly.”
Li Mu nodded. The void behind him rippled, and the ripples spread out like dark blue tides and instantly covered him and Xu Sheng. The two of them suddenly disappeared.
Up in the sky, Qiu Yin let out a soft sigh.
There was another reason why he chose to go to Longcheng Pa.s.s to stop the war. He didn’t want to face the imperial family of the Qin Empire. After all, Guanshan Pasture and the imperial family of the Qin Empire had been in a special relations.h.i.+p for a very long time. He worried that Li Mu might get into a difficult situation this time. Moreover, he didn’t want Li Mu to make any concession to the imperial family of the Qin Empire because of him.
As for the troop below...
Qiu Yin looked down at it.
Unexpectedly, he saw something that he would never forget in his life.
The entire troop of about three thousand soldiers, including Lie Tian, suddenly collapsed like toppling sand sculptures as a breeze blew. None of the high-ranking officers and valiant soldiers was exceptional!
Death came brutally to them without warning.
“What kind of skill is this?”
Qiu Yin did not know how to describe what he saw.
However, he had no sympathy for those people.
A long time ago, he already sensed the evil spirit and ruthlessness of those soldiers. They had such vibes just because they had killed many people. The people of the Great Moon Empire who were plotted against must have been killed by those soldiers. Moreover, this troop must have gained its dark and vicious momentum by killing countless people mercilessly.
It was a bloodthirsty, extremely evil troop.
It deserved to be wiped out.
Li Mu’s killing intent made Qiu Yin feel a little uneasy.
“He looked so gloomy just now. Obviously, he read many unforgivable things from Lie Tian’s memory. n.o.body knows what the Qin Emperor has done.
“His wrath might eliminate the Qin Empire from the world.”
