Chapter 1044 Why?

Under the gaze of countless people, Lin Yuquan, who was standing on the purple lightning flower like a volcano just before the eruption, took a deep breath as if he was trying hard to suppress something. Then, he glanced at Zhuge Yun next to Li Mu for the first time after appearing.

The latter looked calm and didn’t say anything. He was just smiling.

“Okay.”

Lin Yuquan suddenly nodded.

He finally made a decision.

“Do as he said.”

He glanced at Yu Sanlun, who was still sneering with confidence.

The chief commander, Yu Sanlun, was stunned. He immediately understood the meaning of the words and was indescribably shocked.

The next moment, before the people around could react, they saw a flash of lightning at a low altitude. The suffocating pressure all over the sky disappeared. After finishing his words, the famous head of the Thunderflame Clan in Huining City left.

“Has he left?

“He left, right?

“As the saying goes, the thunder is loud, but the rain is small. What a weakling!”

The people inside and outside the Sage-gathering Pavilion were silent.

It was surprising!

None of them expected the Chief of the Thunderflame Clan, who had appeared with a strong aura, to not bring the other party a crushing defeat. In addition, he compromised and left after a verbal confrontation. They felt as if he had stretched out his face and let Li Mu slap him. Then he left with satisfaction.

How could this be?

The onlookers couldn’t figure it out at all.

The experts led by the chief commander, Yu Sanlun, were depressed.

“Does Chief mean to submit to the Inquisition?

“Why?

“The other party is just the Inquisition.”

Thousands of shocked and inexplicable eyes were fixed on Li Mu.

Li Mu looked at Yu Sanlun and the others indifferently and asked, “What are you waiting for?”

Yu Sanlun’s face flushed.

He turned around to look at his subordinates behind him and shouted sternly, “What are you waiting for? Haven’t you heard what Chief Lin just said?”

Even if they were unconvinced in their hearts, their Chief had agreed with Li Mu. Who dared to go back on his words?

The faces of Xing Rong, the commander of the Xing Rong, and the other practitioners who had caused trouble at the beginning turned pale. They walked out, trembling with fear as if they had eaten shit.

They looked at Li Mu with a hint of pleading in their eyes.

However, Li Mu didn’t change his expression at all.

Xing Rong knew he couldn’t escape from the punishment.

When he humiliated Yun Shuangyan before, he did dream that he would end up like this.

Xing Rong made up his mind, pulled out his broadsword, and cut off his own right hand.

Blood spurted out.

The sharp pain made his face distort.

But the humiliation hurt him more than the physical pain.

For the practitioners with high cultivation like them, it was not difficult to regrow their broken arms. However, they couldn’t stand losing arms in front of so many people. It might be a shame that might never be erased for the rest of their lives.

Several other practitioners of the Thunderflame Clan who had insulted the Inquisition before also suppressed the humiliation and grievance in their hearts and cut off their hands and tongues.

These parts could be reborn.

But the humiliation drove them crazy.

Seeing the awkward practitioners of the Thunderflame Clan, the people around them felt like they were dreaming.

It was an ending that they had never imagined.

“Are you satisfied?” Yu Sanlun, the chief commander, glowered at Li Mu.

Li Mu shook his head.

“What do you mean?” Yu Sanlun gritted his teeth and asked.

Li Mu said, “You also cursed just now.”

Yu Sanlun’s expression changed drastically, and he said in a vicious manner, “Don’t push your luck.”

Li Mu said, “Idiot, you can try to leave like this and see what the consequences will be.”

Yu Sanlun’s expression changed again.

For a moment, he really wanted to turn around and leave. Who could stop him in such a small Inquisition? However, when he thought that even his Chief, Lin Yuquan, who had always protected his subordinates, chose to endure the humiliation, he was afraid that the consequences behind it were not something he could bear.

“I will remember it.”

Yu Sanlun ran his cultivation, and a broken tongue flew out of his mouth.

He waved his hand and turned to leave with his subordinates.

He had no face to stay here any longer.

He had been forced to cut off his tongue. Such a shame was destined to accompany him for the rest of his life. He believed that it would not take long for Huining City to spread the news wildly. He had changed from a high-ranking chief commander of the Thunderflame Clan to a topic of conversation after meals. It was equal to nailing him to the pillar of shame.

Li Mu sneered and said coldly, “Don’t forget three days and three nights.”

Yu Sanlun staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Even if their hands and tongues were cut off, they still had to go to the gate of the Inquisition and kneel for three days and three nights.

Kneeling was even more humiliating.

However, Lin Yuquan, the head of the Thunderflame Clan, had promised that.

At this time, Yu Sanlun wanted to slap himself in the face. If he had known it would be like this, he would not have said such harsh words at the beginning. As a result, he had to bear all of the punishments. He brought this upon himself. He deserved it.

Seeing that the people of the Thunderflame Clan came aggressively but left in low spirits, the people around were stunned for a moment.

When they looked at Li Mu and the others again, their eyes had completely changed.

Was there anyone in Huining City who could force Lin Yuquan, the World-devastating Purple Thunder from the Thunderflame Clan, to lower his head and apologize? Of course, there was. But there must be no more than twenty. Even Zhuge Yun, who served Li Mu, couldn’t do it.

However, Li Mu could.

“What is his identity?

“How high is his status?”

Everyone who had seen the whole process realized that there would be a big piece of news in Huining City.

If this young man wearing the white dragon armor did not die in the following period of time, it would mean that a new big shot would appear in the city of the headquarters of the Military of Man. No! It could even be said that a new big shot was about to appear in the Human Clan.

Li Shang and the other four people of the Inquisition looked at Li Mu as if seeing a deity. They were excited, incredulous, and crazy. All kinds of emotions surged wildly in their hearts, making them want to roar to the sky and tell everyone in the Inquisition what had happened here as soon as possible.

The five practitioners of the Magic Works Department beside Zhuge Yun looked at Li Mu with deep awe.

If their previous flattery to Li Mu was only because Zhuge Yun treated Li Mu differently, at this time, they deeply felt that this young man was no less important than their Chief. His status might be even higher.

“I didn’t expect that I could encounter such an interesting thing when I came to drink. Elder brother, it is fun in Huining City.” Li Mu was no longer cold. He wore a mile, turned to Zhuge Yun, and said as if the previous cold and cruel person was not him.

Zhuge Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“You think it’s fun because you have the energy.

“If anyone else had faced the same thing, they probably wouldn’t even be able to cry at this moment.”

“Elder brother, thank you for your hospitality today. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.” Li Mu make an obeisance.

Zhuge Yun nodded and said, “Well, when I’m free some other day, I’ll go to the Inquisition to visit you in person.”

Li Mu left with Li Shang and the other four.

Zhuge Yun stood at the door of the Sage-gathering Pavilion and watched Li Mu and the others leave. His expression was complicated, and he could not help sighing in his heart.

“Li Mu is truly a weirdo. He can make a big move whenever he encounters something.

“In this way, not to mention the negative effects, everyone in Huining City will know the name of the Inquisition. When other parties meet the Inquisition in the future, they have to weigh their own weight before reacting.”

At this time, shopkeeper Huang standing in front of the window on the second floor of the restaurant had curiously observed the situation and lost in thought.

Over the years, because of the difficult battles with the Extraterritorial Demons, the military departments, such as the Magic Works Department and the Thunderflame Clan, had become extremely important among the 36 clans. Lin Yuquan, the World-devastating Purple Thunder, was a famous ruthless man. He was protective of his subordinates and aggressive. He was stubborn and tough. The shopkeeper had hardly seen such a mighty figure admit defeat before, even if the person had once faced an elder of The Conclave of Ten.

Why did the matter end up like this?

What was the background of the new Chief of the Inquisition?

Seeing that Zhuge Yun and the others were about to leave, shopkeeper Huang quickly chased after them and said loudly, “Chief Zhuge, please wait a moment. I have a new jar of two-thousand-year Tears of the Goddess. Would you like to try it?”

With a strange smile, Zhuge Yun pondered for a while, turned around, and said, “Yes.”

When Li Mu took Li Shang and the others to visit Yun Shuangyan’s family in Muddy Alley, Yu Sanlun and the others returned to the camp of the Thunderflame Clan.

“Where is Chief Lin?” Yu Sanlun’s face darkened as he asked one of his personal guards.

“Chief Lin is waiting in number one hall. He let you go find him as soon as you arrive,” the guard said.

At this time, what happened in the Sage-gathering Pavilion had not been spread to the Thunderflame Clan.

With confusion and anger, Yu Sanlun came to the number one hall of the Thunderflame Clan. After being reported by the first guard of the Chief, he entered the number one hall.

“You’re finally here.”

Lin Yuquan stood in front of the Chaotic Thunder Ball that symbolized the power of the Thunderflame Clan in the center of the number one hall. His voice was as calm and cold as a piece of mysterious ice that had been frozen for 10,000 years.

“Your honor.” Yu Sanlun stepped forward and bowed.

Lin Yuquan waved his hand and ordered all the guards in the hall to leave. Then he slowly turned around, looked at Yu Sanlun, and said, “Are you angry now?”

Yu Sanlun straightened his neck, lowered his head slightly, and said, “I don’t dare.”

“Don’t you dare to be angry, or are you not angry?” Lin Yuquan said lightly.

On the spur of the moment, Yu Sanlun said directly, “I don’t understand. The Inquisition exists in name only and can’t withstand a single blow. Even if the person has Zhuge Yun as his backing, your honor shouldn’t have agreed to that bastard Chief so easily. It’s not a big deal for me to lose face, but it will be a shame for our Thunderflame Clan and you.”

He was Lin Yuquan’s trusted subordinate and had always been highly valued. Therefore, he dared to say such words at this time.

Lin Yuquan was not angry. He calmly said, “If I tell you that the Chief of the Inquisition has more than one martial art emperor standing behind him, what will you think?”

“What?” Yu Sanlun was shocked. He asked, “How could it be?”
