Tycoon War God

Gu Yuan Ancient Land, main hall.

”Master, just now there was a Fourth Tribulation Thunder Practitioner spying on us, I shattered his thought with my shock!”

Hu Sanniang cautiously transmitted her voice.

In one of the Holy Lands, yet being secretly spied on by the strongest person of that Holy Land, this gave Hu Sanniang a bad premonition.

Lin Mu’s hand holding the teacup paused for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.

The others, including Hui Yao, did not sense anything unusual.

Hui Yao hesitated for a moment, then carefully asked, ”Lord Lin, since your goal in coming to the Southern Spirit Divine Continent has already been achieved, do you think we should leave a bit earlier?”

He truly was somewhat frightened.

Before following Lin Wudi, he had almost never dealt with Overlord-level Powerhouses.

Yet after following Lin Wudi for less than a year, the Overlord strong ones who died before him already numbered five or six!

Moreover, this is the Southern Spirit Divine Continent, where there are Seventh Heavenly Tribulation, and even Eighth Heavenly Tribulation experts!

Hui Yao could not imagine what fate would await them if they were noticed by powerhouses of that level.

Lin Mu gave Hui Yao a faint glance, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and continued drinking tea.

Hui Yao’s heart twitched; he knew his suggestion had been rejected.

Just as he was hesitating how to continue persuading, Lamp-Yang Primary returned from the rear hall with a smile.

”Lord Lin, your returning Ancestor Tianyuan’s remains is of utmost importance to our Gu Yuan Ancient Land, so I would like to ask Lord Lin to stay a few days, to allow Tian Yuan’s descendants to pay their respects to Lord Lin. I wonder what Lord Lin thinks of this.”

Lamp-Yang Primary’s attitude was still extremely courteous, even carrying a hint of humility.

At the very instant Lamp-Yang Primary opened his mouth to ask them to stay, Mia Qing suddenly had a sudden impulse, sensing a strand of malice coming from Lamp-Yang Primary.

She looked, puzzled, at the Lamp-Yang Primary whose face was full of smiles.

This person… has evil intent?

Ever since advancing to Transcending Tribulation, Mia Qing’s Divine Calculation Celestial Technique had advanced another step.

Even without actively employing divination, she could still sense certain things.

Just as she was hesitating whether or not to remind Lin Mu, she saw the meaningful look in Lin Mu’s eyes.

Mia Qing immediately understood.

With Lin Wudi’s talent in the path of divination, how could he possibly not know the things she could sense.

”In that case, I’ll trouble Lamp-Yang Primary.”

Lin Mu’s response, however, made Mia Qing slightly surprised.

She looked at Lin Mu in bewilderment and suspicion, but saw only a calm face.

Lamp-Yang Primary was overjoyed and immediately arranged for people to present all kinds of Heavenly Realm delicacies.

Each one was at the Earth Treasure level, something that could only be encountered by chance, not sought.

Even the Jinchen Holy Land did not possess such Spirit Fruits and fine jade wine.

After enthusiastically entertaining Lin Mu and his group, Lamp-Yang Primary arranged for them to stay in a side hall within Gu Yuan Ancient Land.

Once the attendants of Gu Yuan Ancient Land had left, Lin Mu spoke faintly.

”You several, it’s time for you to leave.”

His words left Hui Yao and the others stunned on the spot.

Back when they faced a Five Tribulations Overlord, Lin Wudi had not had them leave.

Now, however, he was telling them to leave, which meant the enemy was above a Five Tribulations Overlord!

The still somewhat ignorant Langya and Li Lingqing both had their expressions change slightly; only now did they realize that danger was descending.

”Master, is there something wrong with this Gu Yuan Ancient Land?”

Battle intent was boiling in Langya’s eyes.

Lin Mu did not say much, instead turning his gaze toward Hu Sanniang at the side.

Hu Sanniang hurriedly explained, ”The Fourth Tribulation Thunder Holy Master of Gu Yuan Ancient Land just now used a Tribulation Thunder Thought to spy on us…”

Langya slammed the table heavily, shouting angrily, ”These people of Gu Yuan Ancient Land are so unreasonable! Master returns the corpses of their Sect Disciples, they don’t show gratitude, and instead act like this! Simply hateful!”

Li Lingqing’s eyes flashed with fierce light, murderous intent surging in her heart.

Lin Mu said indifferently, ”Nothing but within expectations…”

In fact, as early as when he returned the remains, Lin Mu had already anticipated that this problem might arise.

He returned Ancestor Tianyuan’s corpse, on one hand to keep his promise.

On the other hand, it was to probe whether Ancestor Tianyuan discovering the Nine Tripod Fragments was a coincidence or something intentional.

Now, judging from Gu Yuan Ancient Land’s reaction, it should have been intentional.

This made Lin Wudi quite surprised.

One must know that even in the Immortal Realm, those who knew about the Nine Tripod Fragments were but a few.

He was very curious as to how Gu Yuan Ancient Land learned of the existence of the Nine Tripod Fragments.

At this point, Langya and the other women realized that Lin Wudi returning the remains was perhaps not as simple as they had imagined.

”Master, we can leave, but let Hu Sanniang stay by your side.”

Li Lingqing said somewhat uneasily.

They could not help Lin Wudi; staying by his side would only be a burden.

But Hu Sanniang was different; she was a Five Tribulations Overlord, and moreover a Demon Race expert whose methods were strange and powerful.

Even if a Six-Tribulation Overlord came, Hu Sanniang might not be unable to fight.

Hu Sanniang’s gaze flickered.

If it was according to her own wishes, she naturally hoped she could leave Lin Wudi.

As long as she stayed by Lin Wudi’s side, the voice in her mind would constantly brainwash her.

After these few months, she was almost being conditioned into a true servant.

If she could leave Lin Wudi’s side, she might have the chance to seize the opportunity and escape.

Lin Mu cast a faint glance at Hu Sanniang and said coolly, ”Your cultivation level is too weak, you can’t be of any help.”

Hu Sanniang froze.

Immediately afterward, as if she had been humiliated, she said anxiously, ”Master! I still have other abilities, I can fight Six Tribulation Thunder Practitioners, I…”

Lin Mu did not respond.

Last time they crossed hands, she couldn’t even handle a Six Tribulation practitioner suffering from The Five Decays of Heaven and Man, so what was this talk of being able to fight Six Tribulation Thunder Practitioners.

It was nothing but a joke.

If the Demon Race were truly that formidable, they would have long since turned the Heavenly Realm upside down.

How would they be in their current state, like stray dogs, hiding all over the Heavenly Realm.

Countless thoughts surged through Hu Sanniang’s mind, making her feel that her cultivation level was weak and she couldn’t help Lin Wudi, as if she had committed a colossal mistake!

Just as Hu Sanniang, burning with shame and anger, was about to commit suicide to atone, Lin Mu said faintly, ”I’ll give you a simple task now: go capture the Holy Master of Gu Yuan Ancient Land for me and bring him back. Remember, I want him alive.”

Hu Sanniang felt as if a great burden had been lifted, tears streaming down her face as though she had been reborn.

She was not a piece of trash; she could still help her master…

The moment this thought arose, Hu Sanniang felt a chill in her heart.

”It’s over, it’s over, I’m about to fall completely!”

Hu Sanniang was panic-stricken.

She didn’t even dare continue staying by Lin Wudi’s side.

Her figure suddenly vanished.

When she appeared again, she was already in the rear hall of Gu Yuan Ancient Land.

”Daoist friend, this is a forbidden area of Gu Yuan Ancient Land, you cannot—”

Lamp-Yang Primary’s heart trembled when he saw Hu Sanniang suddenly appear.

He was well aware of this woman’s true cultivation level—a Five Tribulations Overlord!

His answer was Hu Sanniang’s cold snort!

Humph!

This cold snort, like Thunderbolt, exploded within Gu Yuan Ancient Land.

Lamp-Yang Primary only felt a buzzing in his head, instantly losing control over his body.

Five Tribulations against Three Heavenly Tribulations was almost a crushing victory.

”Who goes there!”

”Insolent!”

”What madman dares run wild in my Gu Yuan Ancient Land!”

Within Gu Yuan Ancient Land, one main seat after another in seclusion, and one Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor after another, flew into the air, surrounding Hu Sanniang.

Just as these people were about to make a move, a Second Thunder Tribulation Ancestor suddenly pointed at Hu Sanniang, crying out in shock.

”Hu Sanniang! One of the two powerhouses who destroyed Qu Fang Holy Land, Hu Sanniang!”
