The Divine Martial Stars

Chapter 1049 Anger

“What’s going on?” Li Mu’s expression changed.

Li Shang said with shame, “Yu Sanlun of the Thunderflame Clan led people to capture all the people of the Yun Family. Our people tried to stop them but failed. Four of our brothers died.”

“How could it be?”

Li Mu had a cold look in his eyes.

“Where did they take the people of the Yun Family?” He asked.

Li Shang said, “Some of our men followed them all the way. When they arrived at the camp of Thunderflame Clan, our men stayed outside and didn’t dare to enter.”

“Let’s go to the camp of the Thunderflame Clan to ask for people.” As he spoke, Li Mu went straight out.

“Yes, your honor.” Li Shang said, “I’ll gather our people and go with you.”

After taking a few steps, Li Mu suddenly stopped.

“Your honor.” Li Shang asked with a puzzled look.

Li Mu looked at the sunlight projected from the Lazulum dome in front of him. In the golden light, there was visible dust flying. He suddenly realized a problem.

Even though the Thunderflame Clan was aware of the power of Li Mu, they still captured the Yun Family and killed some members of the Inquisition. It was clearly a provocation against the Inquisition. They were afraid that he wouldn’t go and demand those people back.

Was it a trap?

Li Mu subconsciously rubbed his temples.

Although he was confident, he was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible.

The Thunderflame Clan was a branch of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain in the Military of Man. Li Mu had learned about Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain’s means before. In their eyes, any means to achieve their goals, no matter how despicable and shameless they were, could be used.

“Do you know why they caught the people of the Yun Family?” Li Mu turned his head and asked Li Shang.

Li Shang said, “They said that the Yun Family colluded with the Heavenly Devils. The patriarch of the Yun Family, Yun You, betrayed the Human Clan and surrendered to the Extraterritorial Demons at the eastern frontline, causing heavy losses to the eastern army of the Human Clan.”

What a big crime.

Li Mu sneered.

Back then, Lei Cang from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain framed Li Mu for the same crime.

“Even if Yun You betrayed the clan, our Inquisition will take action. This is within the scope of the Inquisition’s power. The Thunderflame Clan is not a law enforcement department. How can it overstep its boundaries?” Li Mu thought for a moment and said. “I’m afraid there is a trap in this matter. You use my token to issue an official notice and ask the Thunderflame Clan to hand people over.”

Li Shang immediately nodded and left.

“Wait a minute,” Li Mu opened his mouth again and said, “Be careful. Now that the Thunderflame Clan has openly offended us, they must have a backup plan. Be careful.”

Li Shang was grateful and immediately said loudly, “Don’t worry, your honor. I’ll send the notice in person. I don’t think the Thunderflame Clan will dare to resist the officials at the level of the Sword Envoy unless they want to rebel.”

“Well, go ahead. No matter what, don’t confront them head-on. Let’s talk about it when I’m ready,” Li Mu said.

Li Shang answered loudly and left.

Li Mu stood where he was, feeling a sudden impulse. He had vaguely felt many strange things that could not be explained.

“I can’t be too reckless. I have to call for external help.”

After thinking for a long time, Li Mu turned around and returned to the white stone throne. He wrote two letters and ordered Ying Bing to send them to Oststern through the Teleportation Deployment.

No matter which one of the old faker or the Sword Savant came, the Inquisition would be invincible.

As soon as the letters were sent out, Duan Gu, one of the four Sword Envoys, suddenly stumbled in and said, “Your honor, bad news.”

Li Mu frowned and asked, “What happened?”

Duan Gu looked angry and sad. He said, “The head of Li Shang is hanged at the gate of the camp of the Thunderflame Clan. They said that he colluded with the rebels and broke into the camp of the Thunderflame Clan.”

“How could it be?”

Li Mu suddenly stood up.

He couldn’t believe what he had heard.

“Did you see it with your own eyes?” Li Mu inquired.

Duan Gu said, “Yes. Your honor, please avenge Li Shang. He died unjustly.”

Without saying a word, Li Mu went straight outside.

“Your honor, have we gone too far to kill the Sword Envoy of the Inquisition directly?”

In the camp of Thunderflame Clan, the chief commander, Yu Sanlun, was a little nervous.

A few days ago, Chief Lin told him not to mess with Li Mu because the latter’s background was rather formidable. However, in less than a month, they killed Li Shang, one of the four Sword Envoys of the Inquisition, and hung his head at the gate of the camp. The contrast was too striking.

Lin Yuquan glanced at Yu Sanlun and said, “Are you kidding me? Killing a small Sword Envoy is nothing serious. I will kill Li Mu.”

Yu Sanlun’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Would he kill the Chief of the Inquisition?

He looked at Lin Yuquan in surprise.

Li Mu was appointed by the Conclave of Ten. How could they kill Li Mu?

He certainly wanted to kill Li Mu. Could it be Chief Lin suddenly found out that Li Mu’s identity and background were fake?

“Go ahead.” Lin Yuquan lowered his head and glanced at Yu Sanlun. He said, “Just do as I said.”

“Yes, Chief.” Yu Sanlun subconsciously glanced at the figure in black sitting next to Lin Yuquan.

These things happened after this person came to the Thunderflame Clan. Who on earth was this mysterious man? How could he make Chief Lin change the strategy of compromising when facing the Inquisition before?

Moreover, this man directly killed Li Shang, one of the four Sword Envoys of the Inquisition in an instant. Li Shang was an expert in the Way Sage Realm, but he didn’t even have time to react. This man was probably at least in the Celestial Master Realm.

Who exactly was he?

Yu Sanlun was confused and turned to leave.

After Sanlun left the conference hall, Lin Yuquan slowly sat back down.

“Senior fellow apprentice, are you sure the Yun Family has the treasure?” Lin Yuquan said, “We’ve searched the courtyard of the Yun Family but found nothing. Could the news be wrong?”

The person whose face was in the black hoodie didn’t move at all as if he were a black silent statue. He said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter whether you can find it or not. If it exists, I’ll give it to you. If not, you’ll get rid of Li Mu who has humiliated you in public. Aren’t you satisfied?”

“I don’t dare. Since Li Mu has the Sanctuary of the Way, the Brotherhood of Swords, and a mysterious martial art emperor behind him, if we do this and the other side fights back…” Lin Yuquan was still sweating at this time.

The mysterious man in black said lightly, “Of course, some people will deal with them. Those are not what you should consider.”

Lin Yuquan had no choice but to agree.

Although he was respected in Huining City, once it involved something at the level of the martial art emperor, he would become cannon fodder and a pawn if he was not careful. He had to be careful.

On the road of martial arts, before he could become an emperor, he was still a nonentity.

“I’m going to the interrogation room.” Lin Yuquan stood up.

It was not until he left the conference hall that Lin Yuquan heaved a sigh of relief.

The nine future leaders of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain came out not at the same time. For example, the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens was the latest one to enter the secular world, and his strength was the lowest among the nine future leaders. Lin Yuquan began to cultivate not late, but his aptitude was ranked lower, and he was intoxicated with power. Therefore, he was chosen to enter the secular world and become the head of the Thunderflame Clan.

In the past few years, Lin Yuquan had lived a free and easy life in Huining City, but he also knew his cultivation was being surpassed by his other fellow apprentices in the same sect. Even the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens, who used to be ranked last in the nine future leaders, might catch up with him.

There was no need to mention the talented people in Way of Thunder like his Second Senior Fellow Apprentice.

Among the nine future leaders of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, the Eldest Senior Fellow Apprentice and the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice were the earliest to join the sect. They were blood brothers and were also the most favored by the master. They had been following the master, the thunder ancestor, all these years and had devoted themselves to cultivation. Their strength was the strongest among all the future leaders, and they had already surpassed the other disciples by a realm.

Lin Yuquan had only returned to Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain once in the past ten years.

He clearly remembered that when the Second Senior Fellow Apprentice appeared in the Thunder Ancestor Hall, the atmosphere instantly became silent and oppressive. The Second Senior Fellow Apprentice didn’t do it deliberately. But when he appeared, a horrible aura naturally pervaded the air. The invisible pressure was like that of a creature at the top of the food chain overlooking the creatures at the bottom.

It was not until that moment that he realized that the person who had always covered his face with a black hoodie was no longer at the same level as him.

Since the last time they met, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

Today, when they met again, it suddenly became more intense.

Although they were fellow disciples of the same sect, Lin Yuquan didn’t want to stay with his Second Senior Fellow Apprentice any longer.

“Now that Second Senior Fellow Apprentice is taking the field in person, the sect must have made the decision. Li Mu is dead meat. But I don’t know how to deal with the wrath of the two Holy Lands after he dies.”

Thinking of this, Lin Yuquan came to the cell.

“Your honor.” The second commander, Zhou Tong, greeted him.

“Did you get any news?” Lin Yuquan asked.

Zhou Tong lowered his head and said, “There aren’t any clues. The Yun Family doesn’t know where their inheritance treasure is.”

Lin Yuquan snorted and walked into the torture room.

Among the people of the Yun Family, except that the youngest daughter Yun Shuangying, who had always been like an ice person, was placed on a wooden bed, the elder, Yun You’s wife, and Yun Shuangyan were all tied to the criminal racks. There were whip marks on their clothes, and their blood was mottled. Obviously, they had all been tortured. Especially Yun Shuangyan had no intact skin, and his blood had gathered into a blood pool under his feet.

“This brat is so stubborn,” Zhou Tong said.

Lin Yuquan’s eyes swept over the three of them and fell on the elder. He said lightly, “The young people may really not know about the treasure. It’s useless to beat them to death. Ask the elder first.”

“But that old thing could die at any moment. I’m afraid I’ll beat her to death,” Zhou Tong said.

Lin Yuquan said, “Of course, we can’t use an ordinary punishment.” Lin Yuquan said.

He walked over to the elder and said, “You used to be a peerless figure in Huining City, but it’s a pity that you want to stick to the end. Look at you now. If you hand over that thing honestly, I can guarantee that the Yun Family’s descendants will not die. Moreover, you can leave safely.”

The elder didn’t reply, merely revealing a trace of ridicule.

“What a pity.”

As Lin Yuquan spoke, he raised his hand and pressed it on the elder’s forehead.

“Read it.” He shouted in a low voice.

The arc of the elder’s mouth became clearer.

At the same time, Li Mu arrived outside the Thunderflame Clan.

He looked up at the entrance of the Thunderflame Camp. The head of Li Shang was hanging high above, dripping with blood.

“From now on, there will be no Thunderflame Clan in Huining City.”

Li Mu clenched his fists.

Then, he soared into the sky to take Li Shang’s head.
