Chapter 826: Offenders of the Supreme, Die!
"Which unit are you from?"
Lin Mu frowned slightly. This person’s attitude towards him was completely different from how soldiers usually reacted upon seeing him.
This faintly superior demeanor left Lin Mu quite surprised.
"Haha, sorry to trouble Teacher Lin. I am the Commander of the Vanguard Battalion of the Demonslaying Army. The Demonslaying Army was just recently established, so I guess Teacher Lin hasn’t heard of it yet."
The commander raised his hand, still far from showing any respect.
"Hmph!"
Lin Mu snorted coldly, like a thunderclap. The twelve soldiers, including the commander in front of him, groaned and knelt to the ground in unison.
The commander roared with rage, trying to get up.
But the authority of the Venerable is not something he could withstand!
Not to mention being just at the Divine Communion stage, even those in the God Realm had no right to speak with their heads held high in front of Lin Mu.
"You answer my questions, or face death!"
Lin Mu’s voice was icy cold.
In the Ancient Land, he had slain hundreds of immortals and wiped out half the demonic disciples of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion!
His murderous aura was as boundless as the vast sea!
It descended heavily, making it nearly impossible for the commander to breathe.
"Lin Wudi is actually more terrifying than the rumors! This killing intent—how many must he have slaughtered to be this fiercely domineering!"
The captain’s muscles trembled, and the little pride in his heart was forcibly shattered.
Shangguan Shiming and others sneered; this commander was laughably foolish.
Facing the Invincible Venerable, how could a mere Divine Communion realm dare to put on airs? Truly courting death!
"What’s with these zombies?"
Lin Mu asked coldly.
The commander still tried to hold on, but then his mind was pierced with such pain that he nearly passed out.
"It was half a month ago; a mysterious figure appeared near the Southern Sea..."
Under Lin Mu’s absolute pressure, he dared not conceal a thing, spilling everything he knew.
"A mysterious figure? Four Great War Gods? Interesting."
Lin Mu smiled wryly; he hadn’t expected Xiao Xuan to be so playful. In just a month’s time, he had managed to create four Great War Gods.
Too bad Xiao Xuan was unaware of the truth; when he eventually discovered it, one could wonder if he’d be utterly devastated.
"Let’s go."
Lin Mu no longer paid attention to the twelve soldiers and ascended into the air on his sword.
Once they had gone far, the commander’s pale face struggled to get up.
"Bah! Lin Wudi, just flaunting authority at us. He didn’t even show up when the mysterious figure appeared!"
The commander cursed harshly, his eyes cold.
Beside him, a soldier wielding a knife laughed, "Captain Liao, why be angry? When Lin Wudi returns to find his base gone, I bet his expression will be priceless!"
The commander’s demeanor softened considerably at the words. "Haha, you’re right. Lin Wudi, invincible. After this catastrophe, his so-called invincibility won’t last long. Each of the Four Great War Gods suppresses an area, sweeping all before them!"
Mention of the Four Great War Gods brought admiration to the soldiers’ eyes.
In just half a month, the Four Great War Gods had risen through bloody battles.
Now, even Shen Lang of the Dragon Protection Hall and Zhang Daoyun of the Celestial Master Mansion had been suppressed by the Four Great War Gods.
So what if Lin Wudi has returned!
Today’s world is no longer the same as it was a month ago!
...
"Master, those people disrespected you; why didn’t you kill them?"
In the sky above.
Langya voiced his question.
In fact, Juling Yin and others were equally puzzled.
In the Ancient Land Sects, immortals are revered, and mortals disrespecting immortals is a capital crime.
Not to mention, Lin Mu is now esteemed as the Invincible Venerable, the leader of the Ancient Land!
That captain’s disrespect towards Lin Mu was an insult to everyone in the Ancient Land!
But the others’ roles were delicate, so they dared not intervene with Lin Mu. Only Langya, as a Disciple in Name, was most suited to ask the question.
Lin Mu replied calmly, "They are already dying people; why bother with them?"
"Dying people?"
Langya, Shangguan Shiming, and others exchanged glances, not understanding.
Those soldiers, while not strong, were at least of the Divine Communion realm, equivalent to a cultivator’s Qi Cultivation Level Eight!
They scarcely seemed like people at death’s door.
Shangguan Shiming, with the quickest mind, carefully asked, "Is it because of this Triple-realm Black Evil Qi?"
Lin Mu nodded, offering no further words.
Shangguan Shiming and the others were deeply chilled.
Though those soldiers were merely martial artists, within the Ancient Land Sects, they were considered strong.
After all, at least half of the cultivators never reached Qi Cultivation Level Eight in their lifetimes.
And those soldiers had achieved Divine Communion in just half a month!
The price they paid was unexpectedly severe!
What exactly is this Triple-realm Black Evil Qi?
Lin Mu didn’t speak, and no one dared to ask, so they could only fly silently.
Throughout the journey, Lin Mu found that the Land of Huaxia indeed had undergone dramatic change.
The seaside villages were mostly abandoned.
Even some small coastal cities were desolate.
It seemed as though everyone had gathered in large cities.
Almost every major city was surrounded by the incessant sound of gunfire.
From time to time, zombies could be seen attacking the cities!
Ordinary people in the cities showed significant changes.
Especially soldiers, nearly all had become martial artists, fighting zombies with cold weapons!
In just a month, even with the revival of spiritual energy, the change was astounding.
Clearly, someone behind the scenes was fueling this transformation.
"Master, the secular world... have they become this formidable?"
As they traveled.
Langya, Juling Yin, and others gradually looked more solemn.
Leaving the Ancient Land and entering the secular world, they had already prepared themselves mentally.
They reminded themselves this was the homeland of the Invincible Venerable, to remain respectful, and not to act superior as before.
However, the scenes encountered in the secular world startled them!
During their journey, they had seen at least hundreds of thousands of Inner Strength Martial Artists.
Inner Strength Martial Artists, equivalent to Qi Training Third or Fourth Realm cultivators of the Ancient Land Sects.
The reach of such strength was beyond their imagination!
And this was just coastal cities. What if it encompassed the whole secular world?
Wouldn’t it mean that the number of strong practitioners in the secular world now exceeded that of the Ancient Land Sects!
"These people’s strengths were forcibly stimulated by the Triple-realm Black Evil Qi, unstable and with endless repercussions, so you need not yearn for it."
Lin Mu remarked calmly.
Langya and the others lowered their heads.
As exiled immortals of the extreme realm, naturally, they wouldn’t covet martial power, but for them, the impact of this situation was unimaginable.
If not for Lin Mu imparting knowledge for seven days, after decades of arduous cultivation, they would only have reached the Eleventh Level of Qi Cultivation.
Yet these secular martial artists achieved Qi Training Third or Fourth Realm within a month!
How could they reconcile with such speed in their hearts?
Boom!!
At that moment, a cannon fired.
The air vibrated, causing Langya and others’ clothing to flap wildly.
"Those who offend the honored one, die!"
A swordsman, invincible, imperious!
Li Duanjian was the first to rage, and a sword light shot forward!
"Where did these cultivators come from, daring to act recklessly here!"
On the ground, a figure leapt into the air, swinging a blade to shatter Li Duanjian’s Sword Qi.
That person clearly underestimated Li Duanjian’s strength!
The sword energy shattered, and the person was jolted back by it, flying ten meters away, spewing a mouthful of blood.
"Foundation Building Immortal! You are not those smelly Taoists of the Celestial Master Mansion!"
The martial artist only had peak Divine Communion strength, equivalent to the peak of Qi Cultivation Level Nine.
If not for Li Duanjian holding back, he would have been dead!
Yet he continued to clamor unceasingly!
