Chapter 1042
Chapter 1042 Go Down and Meet the Other Party
“Who do you think you are? You don’t deserve to know my name.”
With a sneer, Li Mu directly struck out with his palm.
“Arrogant! You’re courting death!”
Commander Xing was furious.
He was an expert in the Way Sage Realm. When Li Mu came out just now, Commander Xing paid special attention to him and learned that his cultivation was only at the second stage of the Great Way Realm. Therefore, he didn’t take Li Mu seriously at all. However, his protective natural qi was directly smashed and dissipated by Li Mu’s Natural Qi of the Emperors’ Fire as soon as it was activated. Li Mu’s physical strength was so strong that he directly slapped Commander Xing in the face without any suspense.
Swoosh!
“Ah…” The commander of the Thunderflame Clan, who had been arrogant before, was directly slapped out of the door like a ragged sack. Five or six teeth together with the blood of him flew out in the air.
Rumble!
The skinny figure flew out of the opposite window and smashed heavily on the ground outside the Sage-gathering Pavilion.
More than a dozen other officers of the Thunderflame Clan were suddenly dumbfounded.
“What happened?
“Was Commander Xing beaten up?
“Was he beaten up by a person of the Inquisition?”
They couldn’t believe it. For a moment, they thought they had misread things.
An officer of the Thunderflame Clan came to his senses, pointed at Li Mu, and was about to say something with an angry look.
Li Mu strode over and slapped them like a tiger stepping on a flock of sheep. He mercilessly slapped them flying one after another.
Even Commander Xing was no match for Li Mu, let alone his subordinates.
Li Mu beat them easily.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, none of the dozen or so people from the Thunderflame Clan who had come to provoke him managed to escape. All of them had been sent flying.
“You don’t know what’s good for you. How dare you bully the people of our Inquisition?” Li Mu picked up a white tablecloth to wipe his hands and said with a sneer, “Since you showed off in front of me, you should have been prepared to have your face smashed.”
Li Shang and the other five experts of the Inquisition were shocked.
The five followers of Zhuge Yun were also shocked.
“He is too fierce and ruthless.
“That is a commander with the power of the Thunderflame Clan. He can be regarded as a big shot in Huining City. How could he be defeated so easily?
“This new Chief’s temper is too irritable!”
After the shock, Li Shang and the others also flushed with excitement.
It relieved their anger!
They were truly satisfied.
In their eyes, the ruthless means of Chief Li was as satisfying as eating an iced watermelon on dog days. The grievances the Inquisition had suffered in Huining City over the years had been vented a lot at this moment.
Zhuge Yun shook his head with a bitter smile.
He had long expected that Li Mu would not let these people go so easily, but he didn’t expect that Li Mu would take such a fierce means at the beginning. When he thought about it carefully, he felt it was normal.
Apart from the position of the head of the Inquisition and his mysterious and powerful master, he was the sworn brother of the six most rogue swords and the first Sword Whiz, the Sword Savant, of the Brotherhood of Swords. These people from the Thunderflame Clan deserved to be slapped away.
Fortunately, the Sword Savant, the Sword Fanatic, and the others were not present.
If these overbearing sword practitioners were present, Commander Xing and the others might not only have been slapped but also directly carried back to lie in bed for at least half a year. They could only blame themselves for courting death, being unreasonable, and taking the initiative to provoke a hard case.
However, the people of the Thunderflame Clan were always arrogant and domineering. Would they give up so easily?
Zhuge Yun looked out of the window.
After thinking for a while, he said, “Young friend, why don’t you leave first? Let me deal with the affairs here.”
Li Mu shook his head and said, “No, I’ll wait here today. I want to see what kind of people the small leaders of the Thunderflame Clan are. How dare they bully our Inquisition? I want some people to know that the Inquisition is no longer what it used to be. I want them to understand that if they want to make trouble in front of the Inquisition in the future, they’d better think twice before doing anything.”
As soon as Zhuge Yun heard that, he immediately realized that this young man obviously wanted to make a big deal out of it. He was deliberately taking advantage of this matter to establish his prestige and make an example of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain to show the strength of the Inquisition.
As the saying went, a new broom swept clean.
Only Li Mu, with his status and background, dared to do such a thing. Even the future leader of the same Holy Land wouldn’t dare to do it, let alone others.
“Okay! I’ll wait here with you today.” Zhuge Yun smiled and said.
When his five personal guards heard this, they were shocked.
It was obvious that the new Chief of the Inquisition was going to confront the Thunderflame Clan head-on. Why did their boss, who usually did not want to get involved in this kind of power struggle, act as if he was on the side of the Inquisition? It was not the style of their boss.
Li Shang and the others were overjoyed to hear this.
Just now, Li Mu took action and relieved them a lot. But when they calmed down and thought about it, they felt a little scared. The Thunderflame Clan was already a large clan among 36 clans of the Military of Man. Besides, it had the backing of Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain, a Holy Land. Its force was so strong that ordinary people did not dare to provoke it. As a new official, Chief Li had already struck the commander of the Thunderflame Clan before he could have a firm foothold. If this matter blew up, the Inquisition would probably have to bear the consequences. After all, in the eyes of everyone who had witnessed the decline of the Inquisition over the years, they did not have the confidence to confront such a big force of the Military of Man for the time being.
But if a highly respected senior like Zhuge Yun was willing to support Li Mu, it would be a different story. At least, they would be able to escape unscathed.
However, they were still nervous.
Li Mu didn’t care. He went to check the injuries of Yun Shuangyan.
“Your honor, I’m fine,” Yun Shuangyan was a little reserved and hurriedly said.
Li Mu didn’t speak. He reached out and put his hand on Yun Shuangyan’s shoulder. He found that the young man’s arm bones had been broken into several pieces. The person who did this deliberately humiliated him, and there was a special strength in his body. His injury was far more serious than it looked. If he didn’t treat it in time, he would probably be disabled.
“It seems I haven’t beat those bastards hard just now.”
Li Mu became angrier.
“Why did the descendant of the Inquisition become like this?” Li Mu glanced at Li Shang and the others with sharp eyes. Then he said to Yun Shuangyan, “Why did the people of the Thunderflame Clan deliberately embarrass you?”
Yun Shuangyan lowered his head and said with a smile, “Actually it’s just a little misunderstanding. Thank you for your help, your honor. My injury is not serious.”
While they were talking, Mr. Huang, the shopkeeper of the Sage-gathering Pavilion, came over with two waiters. He glanced at Li Mu and looked at Zhuge Yun and said, “I heard that something unpleasant happened just now. I wonder if our waiter didn’t take good care of you. I’m so sorry.”
Zhuge Yun smiled and said, “Old Huang, I know what you mean, and I also know that your boss doesn’t like others to make trouble in the Sage-gathering Pavilion. However, there are some exceptions to today’s matter, and the Sage-gathering Pavilion may not be able to intervene. You don’t have to worry about it.”
There was a hint of surprise on the fair and chubby face of shopkeeper Huang. He took a serious look at Li Mu again and make an obeisance with a smile. He said, “Well, I won’t disturb you two distinguished guests.” The man retreated again.
Li Mu looked at Yun Shuangyan and said, “I heard that you are the descendant of Senior Yun Zhongyue.”
Yun Shuangyan said, “He is my grandfather.”
“The grandson of the tenth Chief of the Inquisition?”
Li Mu said, “Since he is the descendant of a hero, why does he end up like this? Don’t tell me that our the Inquisition has no support or doesn’t care for the family members and descendants of our brothers, especially the descendants of the martyrs.”
Li Shang was startled and quickly said, “According to the usual practice of the Military of Man, the matters of compensation are all handled by the Clan of Carriages and Horses. He should have been supported and cared for.”
“Why do you come to the restaurant to be a waiter and be humiliated?” Li Mu said.
Li Shang hesitated and did not know how to say it.
Yun Shuangyan quickly said, “It’s not his fault. My grandfather handled a wrong case back then, so our Yun Family’s compensation has been suspended.”
“A wrong case?”
This was the second time Li Mu had heard of this thing.
However, this was not the time to talk about the matter of the past. He directly said to Li Shang, “Remember this matter. From now on, the Inquisition takes charge of the descendant of Chief Yun, we are brothers. If we don’t care for him, who will? Since the compensation from the Clan of Carriages and Horses was stopped, the Inquisition will give him. How could we erase all of Chief Yun’s contributions because he had made a mistake? He has already passed away. We can’t let his descendant be implicated.”
“Yes, your honor. I got it,” Li Shang said loudly.
The other four commanders of the Inquisition felt warm in their hearts when hearing Li Mu’s words.
Even the people around Zhuge Yun showed a strange light in their eyes. Anyway, this Chief was caring about his subordinates. It was the good luck of every Inspector of the Inquisition to have such a superior who sympathized with his subordinates.
“Thank you, your honor,” Yun Shuangyan also showed gratitude and thanked him repeatedly.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to thank me now. You can thank me after I avenge you for the beating you received today.”
While they were talking, they heard a commotion from outside.
“Where did this bastard come from? How dare you hit the people of the Thunderflame Clan? Get the hell out of here!” A domineering and overbearing voice came from outside the Sage-gathering Pavilion. The voice was so loud that it was like that of rolling thunder. The people on several streets around the Sage-gathering Pavilion heard him.
The faces of Li Shang and the others changed.
“Here they come.
“Big trouble has come.
“What should we do?”
They began to worry again.
Li Mu sneered and said, “Let’s go down and meet the people of the Thunderflame Clan. I’ll give them a lesson.”
Shopkeeper Huang was nice before. Li Mu didn’t want to fight in the restaurant.
The group of people went downstairs directly. When they came out of the Sage-gathering Pavilion, they saw 300 military martial arts practitioners in red light leather armor and dozens of masters in light purple uniforms of the Thunderflame Clan. They were fierce with strong killing intent, blocking the gate aggressively.
