105: Long Yuan takes action

Lin Mu looked at where the Flame Emperor had dissipated and reached out.

A pale yellow heavenly dao stone was grabbed in his hand.

Lin Mu focused his eyes and saw that it was indeed a heavenly dao stone.

As soon as he saw Li Yu, Lin Mu had noticed something amiss.

He had left Li Yu a protective jade pendant previously.

The sword qi contained within that jade pendant could withstand even a Great Emperor's attack.

However, Lin Mu had never sensed any sign that the jade pendant had been used.

That could only mean one thing: Li Yu had betrayed him.

So he played along, to see what tricks they were up to.

Sure enough, everything was as he had guessed.

As for that talisman, it had been stealthily swapped by him the moment Li Yu tried to stick it on him.

Li Yu and Lin Mu's realms were too far apart, so he hadn't noticed anything unusual.

To this day, he didn't know that what he had stuck on Lin Mu was just an ordinary talisman that Lin Mu had swapped.

And the real Soul-Fixing Talisman had been silently placed on the Flame Emperor by Lin Mu.

That's why the Flame Emperor couldn't understand why he couldn't mobilize his spiritual power until his death.

Only Lin Mu understood the key to all of this.

The others only saw Lin Mu, who was initially passive, instantly kill the Flame Emperor and turn the tables.

At this moment, their admiration for Lin Mu had reached an unprecedented height.

Lin Mu did not respond much to the fervent gazes of the crowd.

He looked sharply at Li Yu and questioned him with a cold tone: "Is this how you repay This Young Master's kindness?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately knelt in the void, his face ashen.

Although he was now a ruler of a country and a Venerable Realm Expert.

Yet, facing Lin Mu, he couldn't help but feel fear from the bottom of his heart.

He deeply knew Lin Mu's terrifying nature.

He couldn't help but cry out, "It's all this lowly one's fault. This lowly one is willing to die, I only ask that Young Master Lin spares my sister's life."

Lin Mu's face was devoid of pity. He calmly said, "I gave you a chance once. Since you chose the wrong path, then Yanshan Kingdom should also change its owner."

Li Yu was stunned upon hearing this, and looked at Lin Mu in shock.

He asked incredulously, "What does Young Master mean by this?"

Lin Mu's tone was cold: "Return to your country immediately, disband the royal family, and take your clansmen far away from Yanshan Kingdom."

"From now on, all affairs of Yanshan Kingdom will be handled by the Heavenly Dao Sect."

Li Yu was taken aback; this meant the Li family's empire would be ruined in his hands.

He pleaded urgently, "Please, Young Master, show mercy. You can punish me however you wish, but please leave a way out for the Li family's royal house."

Li Yu kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy until the very end.

However, Lin Mu was unmoved. His tone remained cold as he said.

"I give you ten days. After ten days, any member of the Li family remaining in Yanshan Kingdom will die."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately slumped to the ground.

After a moment, he slowly and weakly stood up, cupped his hands to Lin Mu, then turned to leave.

Just then, the Giant Emperor, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly stopped Li Yu.

"Wait a moment, you don't have to listen to him. Once we get rid of him, you can still be your emperor in peace."

Li Yu was startled, and a look of struggle immediately appeared on his face.

However, after a moment of hesitation, he still shook his head and said, "No need, the Li family's fortune has run out."

Li Yu knew deeply that if he left, he would become a sinner to the Li family.

But if he truly stood on the side of the foreign races, he would become a sinner to the entire human race.

Li Yu took a deep look at Lin Mu, then turned and flew towards the Yan Country imperial palace.

As Li Yu's figure flew out a hundred meters, a voice entered his ear.

"Only one of you and your sister can live. You decide."

Li Yu gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this and didn't look back. He also transmitted his voice.

"Young Master, rest assured. Once I have settled my clansmen, I will atone for my sins with death."

With that, he flashed and landed in the Yan Country imperial palace.

Before leaving, he had to rescue Tianning first.

Watching Li Yu's figure gradually disappear, the Giant Emperor suddenly spoke.

"Just let him leave like that?"

Another person, who had appeared with the Flame Emperor, slowly spoke.

"No matter, he is just an insignificant pawn."

He looked at Lin Mu and then said arrogantly, "As long as this person is killed, are you still afraid that others won't obey?"

The Asura Emperor, who was beside him, chimed in, "That's right, there's no need to hide anything now. Let's reveal our trump cards and make our move."

The Giant Emperor sneered, "Then let's do it. I've been eager to try that power for a long time."

With that, the two of them leaped into the air above Lin Mu.

Runes appeared on their faces, one after another.

Soon, they covered their entire bodies.

Once all the runes appeared, their bodies instantly erupted with terrifying pressure.

Long Yuan, who stood behind Lin Mu, said with a slight surprise, "They actually used a secret technique to advance to the Dao One Realm."

Lin Mu heard this and smiled disdainfully. He couldn't help but ask, "How do they compare to you now?"

Long Yuan confidently said, "Although my realm has fallen to the Dao One Realm, dealing with those two is still easy."

Lin Mu smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll leave those two to you. Don't disappoint me."

Long Yuan didn't know why Lin Mu would make such a move.

With Lin Mu's realm, let alone the two pseudo-gods who had advanced to the Dao One Realm through secret techniques.

Even the various gods of the God Realm would not be Lin Mu's match.

However, he didn't dare to question Lin Mu's decision.

He cupped his hands to Lin Mu and said, "Please rest assured, Young Master. I only need one move to deal with them."

After Long Yuan finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the Giant Emperor and the Asura Emperor.

Upon Long Yuan's appearance, both Great Emperors simultaneously showed disdain.

In their eyes, only Lin Mu posed a threat to them.

That's why they unleashed the divine power bestowed upon them by the mysterious person.

Seeing Long Yuan standing calmly before them.

The Giant Emperor couldn't help but taunt, "You mere human, are you tired of living?"

"If you want to die, wait until this Emperor slaughters that person first."

Long Yun heard this and said disdainfully, "You two are not worthy enough for Young Master to act personally."

The Giant Emperor was stunned upon hearing this, then sneered, "Ignorant human, you know nothing about power."

"This Emperor now possesses the power of a god."

"A mere human, wanting to contend with a god?"

Everyone present exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

"The power of a god? Did that foreign race's Great Emperor break through to the God Realm?"

"Then is there no hope for the human race?"

Just as they all showed expressions of despair.

The somewhat weak Ice Emperor comforted everyone, saying, "Everyone, there's no need to panic."

"That foreign race merely relied on a secret technique to temporarily elevate to the Dao One Realm; they are far from reaching the realm of a god."

"And the person confronting them is the true god."

The Ice Emperor had long noticed Long Yuan. Although she hadn't been able to clearly see his appearance back then.

But she could sense it from his aura.

This person in front of her was the one who had snatched the heavenly dao stone from her hands back then.

She was very clear about that person's strength.

Now that this person was standing on the side of the human race, a rare smile appeared on her face.

Seeing the Ice Emperor speak with such certainty, everyone once again looked at Long Yuan with renewed hope.

At this moment, Long Yuan stood with his hands behind his back.

He truly resembled an exiled immortal.

He spoke indifferently, "Two mere ants, with a bit of divine power, dare to call themselves gods. It's simply laughable."
