Chapter 827: Winds Shift as Heroes Gather
Before Li Duanjian could respond, the Martial Artist sneered and waved his arm.
Boom boom boom!
Artillery fire swept across the sky.
Besides Lin Mu and Shangguan Shiming, the others had never left the Ancient Land and had no idea what artillery fire was.
It wasn’t until the whistling sound of objects tearing through the air arrived that they realized these were terrifying weapons!
Attempting to defend with swords was already too late.
Langya and the others’ expressions shifted slightly; just as they were about to use their power to resist, Lin Mu stepped forward.
Bang!
An invisible ripple vibrated through the air.
Where it passed, everything was frozen.
All the artillery shells, as if trapped in amber, were rendered immobile.
Hundreds of artillery shells hovered a hundred meters in front of Lin Mu!
The Martial Artist stared in disbelief, eyes wide!
He had imagined the responses of Li Duanjian and the others.
After all, cultivators are magical; perhaps they could use talismans or flying swords to strike down the artillery.
But he never expected the man before him would freeze all the artillery just by standing there!
The terrifying impact force of the shells seemed nonexistent in the face of this person.
With a forced calm, the Martial Artist glanced at the man, his body suddenly trembled.
"Are you the legendary Lin Wudi?"
With a thud, the Martial Artist knelt before Lin Mu, loudly declaring, "Martial Alliance Elder Ning Yuanqing, at your service, legendary hero!"
"Martial Alliance?"
Lin Mu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Back in the battle at Changbai Mountain’s Heavenly Lake, he had flattened the Martial Alliance with a single sword.
When he previously entered the Heavenly Lake Minor World, the former Martial Alliance Leader Ye Kuangren had protected the Qin Family.
Now, has the Martial Alliance resurfaced?
Noticing Lin Mu’s expression, Ning Yuanqing hastily explained, "Legend, please don’t misunderstand. The current Martial Alliance is not like before; you are the new Alliance Leader! Ye Kuangren is now the Chief Elder of the Martial Alliance, and your disciples are guest elders."
"Now the Martial Alliance is actually my faction?"
Lin Mu found it amusing that after leaving for a month, he somehow became the leader of the Martial Alliance.
Ning Yuanqing felt embarrassed.
They were merely using the name of Lin Wudi as a banner for influence.
With Lin Wudi’s return, whether the Martial Alliance can continue to exist depends entirely on his will.
"Why did you recklessly fire upon us earlier? Is the Martial Alliance so domineering now?"
Since they were acting in his name, Lin Mu couldn’t let the Martial Alliance go astray!
Otherwise, it would be better to dissolve it.
Ning Yuanqing broke out in a cold sweat, quickly saying, "You misunderstand, we were compelled by circumstances. A few days ago, a War Angel descended from the Sea of Divine Grace. At that time, even Huaxia Sword Deity and the Ancient Celestial Master of Tianshi Mansion joined forces and nearly faced defeat! Ultimately, It was Honorable Madam who stepped forward and used Divine Sense to defeat that War Angel..."
"So, in recent days, we’ve been very cautious about those who soar through the skies..."
Before Ning Yuanqing could finish speaking, the surrounding air suddenly felt frozen.
"Are you saying Qin Luoli acted personally?"
Qin Luoli’s heart method derives from Lin Mu, who was naturally aware that even with the current resurgence of spiritual energy, her technique shouldn’t have overpowered a War Angel!
Ning Yuanqing was nearly speechless, his bones creaking under pressure.
"Master, please calm down. Elder Ning is almost at his limit."
Langya had never seen Lin Mu so furious before and felt a tremor in his heart.
Back in the Ancient Land, even facing two Venerables working together, Lin Mu remained unperturbed.
Yet now, he was furious like thunder!
Langya suddenly recalled that Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion’s demise was due to Ao Guang, an idiot, provoking Lin Wudi’s wife.
Langya had begun to silently mourn for the so-called Prison of Divine Might.
At Langya’s reminder, Lin Mu relaxed his mind.
"Though Honorable Madam acted, there were no serious problems."
Ning Yuanqing hurriedly finished what he said.
He vowed never to leave matters unresolved before Lin Wudi, nor to speak half-truths.
Lin Wudi’s anger could truly be deadly!
"Let’s go!"
Lin Mu ascended with his sword, shaking the void!
At this moment, his speed had reached its limit.
Langya, Shangguan Shiming, and others simply couldn’t keep up.
In a blink, Lin Mu vanished from their Divine Sense range!
"No wonder he’s the Invincible Venerable; at this speed, if in the Ancient Land Minor World, he’d have already shattered the void."
Li Duanjian and others were shocked!
They could see this was Lin Mu’s extreme sword flight; for Ning Yuanqing, Lin Mu’s speed seemed like instantaneous movement.
One moment he was here, the next he was gone without a trace!
"You’re coming with us!"
Li Duanjian reached out a hand and tightly grasped Ning Yuanqing.
"Foundation Building Immortal! You are Foundation Building Immortals of the Ancient Land Sect."
Ning Yuanqing finally realized that everyone before him possessed extraordinary power.
Li Duanjian’s expression was complicated, "Immortal? Before the master, who dares call themselves immortal? Just call me Duanjian Daoist."
Ning Yuanqing’s heart trembled; Li Duanjian’s answer undoubtedly lowered his own status.
A group of Foundation Building Immortals from the Ancient Land Sect showed utmost respect and followed diligently behind Lin Wudi!
The amount of information left Ning Yuanqing unable to stop trembling.
"May I ask Daoist, what do you mean by master?"
Ning Yuanqing asked cautiously.
"You utter far too much nonsense; ask only what should be asked!"
Li Duanjian squeezed his hand, almost choking Ning Yuanqing, who dared not speak further.
Under Shangguan Shiming’s guidance, Langya and others headed toward the Qin Family Ancestral House!
...
At this point, Lin Mu’s speed had reached the secular world’s limit, covering hundreds of kilometers in mere seconds.
Within moments, Lin Mu appeared in the sky above the Qin Family Ancestral House.
There was no one!
The Qin Family Ancestral House was deserted, with not a single person present.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment, retrieving his phone from the Space Ring and dialing Qin Luoli’s number.
"Honey? You’ve returned?"
The phone rang once before being answered, Qin Luoli’s joyful voice came through.
Hearing Qin Luoli sound unharmed set Lin Mu’s mind at ease.
"I’m here at the ancestral house; I don’t see anyone. Where have you moved to?"
Lin Mu asked.
Qin Luoli’s voice suddenly turned uneasy, "Honey, you really love me, right? No matter what I do, you won’t be angry, will you?"
Lin Mu chuckled, "What have you done? Don’t tell me you moved the house inside the Red Walls?"
There was a sudden silence on the other end.
Lin Mu was startled, "Did you actually move to the Red Walls?"
The Red Walls are the power center of Huaxia, and moving there with Qin Luoli and Li Xiaotian involves many issues.
Even though Lin Mu remained unattached and would not be tainted by worldly power, he did not want undue entanglement with the authorities.
"We haven’t done that; we’ve moved to Commander-in-chief Xiao’s homeland."
"Commander-in-chief Xiao?"
"That’s Elder Xiao Xuan, who is now the commander of the Demonslaying Army."
"Turn on your location, I’ll come find you!"
Lin Mu put down the phone, a slight furrow in his brow.
"Xiao Xuan? Hopefully, you’re not what I suspect; otherwise, don’t blame me for disregarding former ties!"
Lin Mu turned his flying sword and headed for the direction of the Capital City.
...
Meanwhile.
Capital City.
A grand ceremony was underway.
The four commanders of the Demonslaying Army—Divine Machine Camp Jiaolong, Vanguard Camp Chen Banshan, Iron Blood Camp Chu Haotian, Unparalleled Camp Shi Hao.
Were to be enshrined today as the Four Great War Gods of Huaxia!
Today, the whole nation celebrated, and the people rejoiced!
The winds of change swept through the Capital City as heroes gathered!
