Chapter 1041 Why Didn’t You Take Action

After drinking for a while, Zhuge Yun got straight to the point and asked, “Has Qing Feng refined the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless? How is it going?”

The Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements was interested in the legacy of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. Zhuge Yun and the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements had shown their interest more than once. The reason why Zhuge Yun treated Li Mu differently was not only because of the relationship between Li Mu, the Sanctuary of the Way, and the Brotherhood of Swords but also because his attendant had obtained the Athanasia Immortal Palace.

Zhuge Yun was a gentleman, so he didn’t beat around the bush and directly expressed his interest.

Li Mu did not hide anything. He said directly, “He has mastered the first seven palaces. He hasn’t found any clues about the other palaces.”

When Zhuge Yun heard this, he was surprised and said, “It turns out that there are other palaces behind the sixth palace, the Athanasia Sky Gate. This is quite surprising. I have something to ask you for help.”

Li Mu said, “Elder brother, please go ahead.”

Zhuge Yun said, “Our Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements got some immortal gold in outer space 60 years ago. It can be used to refine divine weapons. We lacked the forging tools, so we couldn’t forge it and refine it. The Flame Pool and the Forging Palace in the Athanasia Immortal Palace can be used to refine it. I want Qing Feng to help us refine the immortal gold. If he succeeds, we are willing to give 30% of the immortal gold to him.”

Li Mu deliberated for a moment and said, “I can agree on behalf of Qing Feng on this matter. Besides, you don’t need to be so polite. The matter is just about forging. You don’t need to give him 30% of the immortal gold. It’s already a blessing for Qing Feng to get suitable materials to practice. Please don’t mention the commission anymore. I don’t want it to influence our relationship.”

Zhuge Yun was slightly stunned. He looked at Li Mu and said, “Well, in that case, thank you very much, little brother. I owe you a favor.”

Li Mu said, “Elder brother, you’ve helped me a lot in the Ziwei Star Zone and in the Military of Man. You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. Let me propose a toast to you!”

“Ha… Please.” Zhuge Yun said with a smile.

This matter was entrusted to him by a senior in the Holy Land. That was why he treated Li Mu to the banquet at the Sage Gathering Pavilion.

Zhuge Yun was a decent man. He also felt this matter was a little direct and involved the sensitive matter of the inheritance of the Cosmic Emperor Deathless. It was even more difficult for him to ask for help. That was why he held the banquet to entertain Li Mu and begged for help. He felt a little ashamed. He didn’t expect Li Mu to agree without any commission. Also, his words made Zhuge Yun feel that Qing Feng would take advantage of the material. In this way, his status in the Holy Land of Shenji of Hundred Refinements was respected. Now, he felt Li Mu had really treated him as a friend. He thought more highly of Li Mu.

Both of them were satisfied and had a good drink.

At the same time, the ten people outside were also chatting happily.

The five people under the command of Zhuge Yun were all his trusted followers. Seeing that their Chief treated Li Mu so well, they also put away their usual arrogance and became extremely polite in front of Li Shang and the other members of the Inquisition.

The people of the Inquisition were used to being ridiculed and treated unfairly. Today, not only did they manage to enter the Sage-gathering Pavilion, but they were also warmly treated. They were pleasantly surprised and acted humbly.

While they were talking, a waiter came up to add dishes and wine.

“Gentlemen, please have a good meal. This is your Drunken Immortal Wine. Our shopkeeper Huang has personally given you a jar of three-hundred-year-old Smiling Immortal Wine. Please accept it. If you need any help, please tell me.” The waiter said with a smile.

Li Shang said casually, “Thank you very much, little brother. Eh?”

A trace of surprise appeared on his face.

The waiter looked like a young man in his twenties. He had a fair face and firm eyes. His facial features were angular. In a trance, Li Shang felt the man was a little familiar. He seemed to have seen the other party somewhere before.

“What’s your surname?” Li Shang asked.

The waiter was stunned and looked a little hesitant. Then he said, “My surname is Yun.”

Li Shang suddenly changed his expression.

Li Mu and Zhuge Yun had a good chat.

Seeing that it was almost time to leave, Li Mu was about to get up. Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Someone was begging for mercy. Then there was a boom as if something heavy was smashed on the wall of the private room.

Zhuge Yun looked gloomy. He got up, pushed the door open, looked outside, and asked, “What’s going on?”

Li Mu also got up and went to the outer room.

They saw Li Shang and the other members of the Inquisition escorting a young waiter. These people were confronting a group of soldiers in splendid clothes at the door. The waiter’s face was covered with blood, and there was a wound on his forehead. The skin and flesh were torn apart, and one of his arms was hanging down softly. It seemed his bones of the arm were broken.

“Your honor, some people from the Thunderflame Clan injured the waiter. Mr. Li Shang seems to know the waiter and has a conflict with the other party,” a trusted subordinate, Dong Da, of Li Shang, hurried over and said in a low voice.

“Some people from the Thunderflame Clan?”

Zhuge Yun frowned slightly.

The Thunderflame Clan was a clan under the control of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, one of the ten Holy Lands. It was in charge of supervising the explosives of the Military of Man. It was a lucrative clan. The Legions always flattered the people of the Thunderflame Clan, which also caused the people of the Thunderflame Clan to be arrogant and look down on others. Especially the person in charge of the Thunderflame Clan was one of the nine future leaders of the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. He was extremely protective of his subordinates and had a hot temper. As a result, all the people in the Thunderflame Clan were famous for being bad-tempered.

Zhuge Yun worried that Li Mu had always been at odds with the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. In the Ziwei Star Zone, Li Mu’s mysterious and terrible master had once killed a few Celestial Masters from the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain.

As the saying went, enemies always gathered together.

“Ha… The Inquisition? You’re just a group of rats who don’t care about human lives. You’ve been suspended for more than a hundred years. Everyone wants to beat you, but you can still enter the Sage-gathering Pavilion. Ha… You’re really country bumpkins. How dare you meddle in our business?” At the door, a dozen people of the Thunderflame Clan led by a man with a white face, no beard, an aquiline nose, and triangular eyes. The person was thin. He narrowed his eyes and laughed loudly. He looked like a malicious and insidious person.

“Ha… That’s right. How dare a group of mice like the Inquisition protect a waiter here?”

“Hand over the waiter who offended our Commander Xing.”

“Ha… You are just a few country bumpkins. How dare you pretend to be masters here? Why don’t you take a look at yourself first? You have overestimated yourself! Ha…”

The people of the Thunderflame Clan rushed straight into the outer room and blocked Li Shang and the others. They were very arrogant.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes at once.

“Fuck, they are making trouble.”

“What’s going on?” He looked at Li Shang.

Li Shang hurried over and said, “Your honor, they made trouble and insulted Brother Yun on purpose. We took action because we couldn’t stand them anymore.” The person who was sent flying and hit the wall of the private room was one of the four commanders of the Inquisition. At this time, the person was also injured.

“Brother Yun?” Li Mu was puzzled.

Li Shang came over and whispered, “His name is Yun Shuangyan, and he is the waiter. I just knew today that he is the descendant of Chief Yun Zhongyue, the tenth Chief of the Inquisition. He fell into the Sage-gathering Pavilion and became a waiter.”

When Li Mu heard that, he was really speechless.

“What did they do before?

“As the descendant of the Chief of the Inquisition, how could he have fallen to such a state? Why did these people not know about it before?

“Is there anything more humiliating than this?”

“Hurry up and hand him over. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”

“The man who just attacked…” Commander Xing of the Thunderflame Clan had already seen Li Mu but didn’t take him seriously at all. He deliberately pointed at the commander of the Inquisition who had just been sent flying. He said with a sneer, “He contradicted me and attacked me. Since he has offended me, I won’t let him go. Or else, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“I didn’t fight back at all,” the injured commander of the Inquisition said angrily.

With a gloomy face, Li Mu walked over and asked, “Did you take action or not?”

The young commander was startled and said, “Your honor, I didn’t do anything to them. They attacked us.” The Inquisition had been used to swallowing anger, especially in such a place. He was afraid of causing trouble for the new Chief if he encountered disputes, so he had to pinch his nose and bear with it.

“Bastard!” Li Mu directly cursed.

The little commander’s expression changed, and his face was full of humiliation. He glanced at Li Mu and slowly lowered his head.

The other three commanders of the Inquisition were shocked at first. Then they looked disappointed.

Li Shang was also extremely surprised.

At first, they thought Li Mu would at least help them vent their anger or say something to defend them when he showed up. However, to their surprise, he directly scolded them. His way of doing things was completely different from what he had done in the Ziwei Star Zone.

Could it be that after Li Mu came to the Military of Man and gained power, he didn’t take the small potatoes who had suffered for his official position seriously? If that were the case, it would be a dream for the Inquisition to revitalize itself.

Several trusted subordinates of Zhuge Yun looked down on Li Mu. If a leader didn’t dare to stand up for his subordinates and speak for them, would his subordinates have a good future? “Our Chief thought so highly of Li Mu. Now, it seems he has misjudged the person.”

The people of the Thunderflame Clan on the opposite side burst into laughter when hearing this conversation.

Pale-faced and beardless Commander Xing had a mocking and disdainful smile.

However, Li Mu said directly, “Why didn’t you take action?”

“Ah?” The young commander, who was full of humiliation, was stunned. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Mu in surprise.

Li Shang and the other four people also shook slightly.

Li Mu raised his hand to point at the people of the Thunderflame Clan. He said to Li Shang and the others in a disappointed tone, “How dare such trash bully the people of the Inquisition? Why didn’t you fight back after being beaten by these bastards? Are you qualified to be my soldiers? It’s a shame for me. I can’t lead such useless soldiers.”

His voice was loud.

The little commander, Li Shang, and the five followers of Zhuge Yun all stared at Li Mu, dumbfounded.

None of them expected Li Mu to teach his men a lesson for such a reason.

Only Zhuge Yun seemed to have thought of it. He wore a faint smile.

This was his way of doing things. He even dared to confront Celestial Masters from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain head-on. How could he fear a commander of the Thunderflame Clan? During the battle in outer space on Earth, Li Mu’s master had killed five experts in the Celestial Master Realm from the Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain in one breath.

The smile on Commander Xing’s face froze, and his face became gloomy. He stared at Li Mu and said, “What did you say? Little thing, who are you?”
