Chapter 1043 Do You Need Me to Say It Again?
The Sage-gathering Pavilion was also surrounded by various people watching the fun.
Many people recognized that the leader of the Thunderflame Clan was a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a lavender Thunderflame Robe and a long black beard. He had a square face, it was black. He was Yu Sanlun, the chief commander of the Thunderflame Clan.
He was well-known for his recklessness and impatience. He was a ruthless man second only to Lin Yuquan, the Chief of the Thunderflame Clan. In Huining City, he could be regarded as a big shot.
“I’ve been in charge of the Thunderflame Clan for 20 years. It’s the first time that I’ve met someone who dares to humiliate our people so crazily. The little guy of the Inquisition, tell me your name.” The chief commander, Yu Sanlun, narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Mu walking out of the lobby of the Sage-gathering Pavilion like a dangerous beast seeing its prey.
“The chief commander of the Thunderflame Clan?”
Li Mu glanced around and said indifferently, “Get lost. You’re not qualified to talk to me. Let your biggest leader of the Thunderflame Clan come out.”
The people around were shocked and silent.
Many people stared at Li Mu in a daze.
He was a stranger, but he was good-looking. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, full of heroic spirit. The white dragon armor set off his slender and strong body, making him look heroic. Standing on the stone steps in front of the Sage-gathering Pavilion, he looked brave and extraordinary. He was so distinguished.
There had never been such a person in Huining City before.
His bearing and tone made many people around him guess his identity.
When Zhuge Yun came out with his attendants and stood behind Li Mu, all the onlookers gasped secretly.
They all knew this big shot.
Zhuge Yun was the Chief of the Magic Works Department. He was one of the top figures in Huining City. Although Yu Sanlun, the chief commander of the Thunderflame Clan, was a big shot and a ruthless man with a bad temper, he was still a little weak in front of a top figure like Zhuge Yun.
The most important thing was that Zhuge Yun was standing side by side with Li Mu and slightly behind him. This standing position showed that Li Mu was the protagonist of this incident, and his status was not inferior to that of the old big shot of the Military of Man like Zhuge Yun.
This made the onlookers even more curious about him.
“Is this young man from the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements?
“Will Shenji of Hundred Refinements going to confront Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain head-on?”
When the chief commander of the Thunderflame Clan, Yu Sanlun, saw this, his eyes narrowed into slits.
“Chief Zhuge, this matter has nothing to do with the Magic Works Department. Please don’t get involved in it for Chief Lin.” Yu Sanlun was a reckless person, but he didn’t dare to be too arrogant in front of Zhuge Yun. Therefore, he tried to speak as politely as possible to show respect for the other party. He said, “I will come to thank you after this matter.”
Zhuge Yun smiled and said, “Commander Yu, I advise you to go back and ask your Chief Lin to come here to talk. Or else, you will lose face and bring shame on yourselves. This is a piece of advice for you. You are not able to make the decision today.”
Yu Sanlun’s face suddenly changed.
Zhuge Yun was the most outstanding future leader of the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements. He was most likely to take over Shenji of Hundred Refinements in the future. He came out to cultivate 60 years ago and took charge of the Magic Works Department of the Military of Man. Moreover, he was very close to the heads of the Legions.
He looked easy-going, but he was arrogant inside. He rarely participated in the open and secret fights of the major factions in the Military of Man. He had been keeping himself aloof from worldly affairs, and he was one of the objects that all parties tried their best to draw over to their side.
However, Zhuge Yun changed his usual style of doing things and supported the people of the Inquisition so obviously. It surprised Yu Sanlun.
Before coming here, he had learned from the message of Commander Xing and the others that the one who had a conflict with them this time was a member of the Inquisition. He might be the new head of the Inquisition who had caused a sensation recently but had not attracted much attention from various parties.
So what if he was the new head of the Inquisition?
To be honest, when the Inquisition was in its heyday, the 36 clans and even the generals of the major Legions might show some respect for it. But now, it was no longer the same as before. The Inquisition existed in name only. Who would take it seriously?
As soon as he heard that the Inquisition had beaten up his men, Yu Sanlun who was hot-tempered immediately brought his men over.
In his plan, he would humiliate the Inquisition first and take the culprit back to the Thunderflame Clan to deal with him. As long as he didn’t kill the person, he wouldn’t need to be afraid even if the Military of Man looked into the case on the surface. At worst, he would let the culprit go. Anyway, he had to protect the dignity of the Thunderflame Clan and vent the anger in his subordinates’ hearts.
But now, the attitude of Zhuge Yun, a big shot, was unexpectedly firm, making Yu Sanlun somewhat stunned and hesitant.
Li Mu suddenly had an idea and said, “Commander Yu, right? You’ve brought so many people here in an aggressive manner. What do you want to do?”
When Yu Sanlun heard that Li Mu seemed to have suddenly given in, he instinctively felt that he had given in. His doubts suddenly disappeared.
With a sneer, Yu Sanlun became domineering again and said, “Who beat the people of the Thunderflame Clan? Cut off his hands. Who cursed the people of the Inquisition? Cut off his tongue. Then kneel at the entrance of the Inquisition for three days and three nights. In that case, the matter will come to an end.”
Upon hearing that, Li Mu burst out laughing.
His laughter was filled with mockery.
Zhuge Yun beside him shook his head.
“Yu Sanlun is really an idiot. The Thunderflame Clan is used to being blind and arrogant. I’ve already warned him, but he’s still looking for trouble. He’s a stupid pig who only knows how to play with thunder and flames.”
“What do you mean? Are you unwilling?” Yu Sanlun stared at Li Mu and saw him laughing sarcastically. He said fiercely, “Little guy, just laugh as much as you want. I’ll make you cry later.”
Before he could finish his words, something strange suddenly happened.
A lightning bolt sounded.
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.
In the distance, thunder and flames surged. A deep purple flower bloomed in the sky. As the light flowed, a slender figure appeared on the flower.
He was dressed in a purple robe, looking luxurious and majestic. His face was thin, and the corners of his face were angular. His hair and eyebrows were purple, and there was lightning around him. This was the sign of the extreme cultivation of the Cultivation Method of Way of Thunder. He was covered with the fluctuation of the Thunder Magic, emitting a devastating aura.
“Chief.”
Hundreds of practitioners of the Thunderflame Clan were overjoyed when seeing this man. They immediately bowed to him.
The onlookers also exclaimed in a low voice.
“Here he comes.
“He’s here.”
He was the head of the Thunderflame Clan, the Chief of one of the 36 clans. He was also one of the nine future leaders of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, one of the ten Holy Lands. His name was Lin Yuquan, the World-Devastating Purple Thunder. He was a real big shot in Huining City.
“It seems that what happened in the Sage-gathering Pavilion today has finally reached this man’s ears, hasn’t it?”
Some people looked at Li Mu and others with sympathy.
For a long time, all the people and forces who had a dispute with the Thunderflame Clan and disturbed him would end up in a sorry state.
In short, he was a powerful figure.
Li Shang and the other four members of the Inquisition were instantly perturbed.
The reputation of the World-devastating Purple Thunder was so great that he was like a boulder weighing heavily on their hearts suddenly. Yun Shuangyan, who had just recovered a little, had an impulse to rush out to bear all the consequences. He didn’t want the matter to become severer. But he also knew that the situation had changed and it was useless even if he rushed out at this time.
“Your honor, he is the man who spoke such arrogant words. He insulted our Thunderflame Clan and injured several of our disciples.” Yu Sanlun pointed at Li Mu and said, “Please order me to arrest this arrogant bastard, your honor.”
He had a cold smile and felt proud in his heart.
“This time, how could you be arrogant?” At the same time, he was prepared and waited for his Chief to give an order.
At a low altitude, on the purple lightning flower, Lin Yuquan asked, “How do you want the matter to end?”
Yu Sanlun subconsciously wanted to answer, but he suddenly felt it was strange. He took a closer look and found that the Chief was looking at Li Mu, and his words were also for Li Mu rather than for him.
Li Mu looked Lin Yuquan up and down. Since he was one of the nine future leaders of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, his status must be like that of the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens. He could not put any pressure on Li Mu at all.
“Who beat the people of the Inquisition? Cut off his hands. Who cursed the people of the Inquisition? Cut off his tongue. Then kneel at the entrance of the Inquisition for three days and three nights. In that case, the matter will come to an end.” Li Mu said blandly.
There was an uncontrollable uproar around.
Under the pressure of Lin Yuquan’s powerful Thunder Magic, many onlookers tried their best not to make any sound. But at this time, when they heard what Li Mu said, they couldn’t help exclaiming.
The Inquisition?
It turned out that this young man was from the Inquisition.
Some newcomers didn’t know what the Inquisition was, while some senior members were shocked that although the Inquisition had declined to such an extent, its person suddenly challenged the Thunderflame Clan, which was one of the top 36 clans. Was the person tired of living?
Yu Sanlun’s expression suddenly changed.
That was because those words were what he had just said to the Inquisition.
“How dare this young Chief talk back to my Chief. Is he courting death?
“He is unforgivable.”
He was furious. He turned around and bowed, about to say something.
“Are you sure?”
Lin Yuquan didn’t even look at Yu Sanlun. Instead, he stared at Li Mu. Purple lightning swirled in his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be two balls of extremely condensed divine thunder that could destroy the world floating.
At this moment, everyone felt a kind of anger and killing intent flowing.
The onlookers subconsciously stepped back in an instant.
They were afraid that Lin Yuquan’s anger would erupt like a volcano, affecting the surroundings and crushing them accidentally.
However, Li Mu, who was the first to face this kind of pressure, seemed to be unaware of it at all. He asked, “Do you need me to repeat?”
