Chapter 980 Risks of Confinement
Lin Mu's expression froze.
It's true that all good things are hard to come by, one wave after another, which is a headache.
After finally getting rid of the two cultivators at the integration stage and gaining some breathing time, I thought I could safely sell the jade slips, but who could I have imagined that this group of city guards came in a hurry again.
Lin Mu frowned.
What he needs most now is time. He has just established his reputation. This is the best time for development and the momentum is good.
If this trend is interrupted, it will be difficult to continue it.
Lin Mu immediately discussed with the Golden Clothes Fusion Stage cultivator: "I wonder if I can be accommodating. Until tomorrow, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion myself and be willing to be punished. What do you think?"
"No!" The cultivator in golden clothes flatly refused, with a stern tone that left no room for negotiation.
Seeing Lin Mu's expression change, the golden-clothed cultivator couldn't help but soften his tone. He shouldn't be too harsh. After all, this was a killing god. He had just killed two Fusion Stage cultivators in front of everyone. He himself Since his strength is not as good as that of the two Fusion Stage cultivators, for the sake of his own safety, he still has to be polite to Lin Mu.
"You violated the city rules this time too seriously. No matter what, please come with us now." The golden-robed cultivator softened his tone, "We also act impartially. If I have the right to make the decision, let alone you tomorrow. You can go, even the day after tomorrow, but this is the city lord’s order, and I can’t disobey it.”
"Okay." Lin Mu nodded, "I'll go with you right now."
There will be a long time to come. The City Lord's Mansion is the actual person in charge of Ningxiang City. It is more powerful than Lingbao Sect. He cannot be offended.
The cultivator in golden clothes was right. If he wanted to solve the problem, he still had to meet with the city lord.
The cultivator in golden clothes has no power at all, and the decision-making power does not belong to him.
In this case, Lin Mu would not struggle pointlessly.
If you are too self-centered, you will leave a bad impression on the city lord, which will be extremely detrimental to his future development.
We were going to go sooner or later anyway, so we might as well just do it.
To handle the sale of jade slips, having these eight female cultivators here is probably enough.
He had just killed two Fusion Stage cultivators, so no one dared to risk their lives to cause trouble again.
"I wonder if you can give me a moment?" Lin Mu said with a smile, "As you can see, it's very busy here now, and I have to explain something."
The golden-robed cultivator didn't feel embarrassed this time and simply agreed, "That's no problem. If you have anything to do, please explain it as soon as possible. This matter is too big. You may be imprisoned for at least several years. Decades at most!”
Lin Mu looked shocked when he heard this.
Still need to be put into confinement?
He had never heard of city regulations being so strict.
It could take anywhere from a few years to several decades, which was simply not something he could bear.
Nor could he waste his time in meaningless shut-ins.
This thing is simply impossible.
Lin Mu had the idea of running away for a moment, but after a flash, he rejected it.
He spent so much effort here, how could he just walk away?
This is naturally impossible.
We still have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see if there is any room for maneuver.
Lin Mu also prepared for the worst. If he really had to be put into confinement, he would have to fight out at any time.
At that time, it will inevitably become more earth-shattering and extremely dangerous.
He didn't want something like this to happen, but he could only find out what happened after going to the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Mu quickly told the eight female cultivators, "I'm going to the city lord's palace, and you can safely sell the jade slips here. After a while, your master will come to suppress the battle."
The eight female cultivators were extremely busy. After they all nodded in agreement, they went about their own affairs.
Lin Mu patted his storage bag, took out an exquisite purple talisman, and began to send a message to Qingxiu, asking her to come and help take care of the Feixian Palace.
Lin Mu was really worried without the integration stage cultivators to hold the line.
He put a lot of effort into this Feixian Palace.
He doesn't allow anything to go wrong.
After all, Qingxiu is also a mid-stage fusion cultivator and the head of the Qingyu Sect. Coupled with the majesty he has just established, even a fusion stage cultivator does not dare to cause trouble.
Lin Mu quietly handed a storage bag to a female cultivator and asked her to pass it to Qingxiu, who would take charge of it.
Inside this storage bag, there are one million jade slips.
Lin Mu did not give all the jade slips to Qingxiu. He was also afraid of an accident. These one million slips were probably enough to sell for several days.
Although there are millions of cultivators in Ningxiang City, it is impossible for everyone to come to buy now.
He is self-aware and his prestige is not that great yet.
However, this is not something to be careless about.
A jade slip is worth 100,000 spiritual stones, and a million jade slips are worth hundreds of billions of spiritual stones!
Hundreds of billions of spiritual stones are also an astonishing amount for a cultivator in the integration stage.
There is no guarantee that no one will take desperate risks.
Lin Mu was still a little worried. Before Qingxiu arrived, he still felt uneasy, so he simply discussed it with the cultivator in golden clothes and decided to wait until Qingxiu arrived.
Lin Mu and a group of city guards stood in front of the Feixian Palace, waiting quietly.
At this moment, the entire Ningxiang City was like a pot of boiling water, commotion arose.
The news that Lin Mu had just killed two Fusion Stage cultivators spread like wildfire in Ningxiang City. Many cultivators were surprised and came to find out what happened after hearing the news.
In just a short moment, this street was blocked with water. People outside could not get in at all, and people inside could not get out.
Some cultivators who got the news relatively early were lucky enough to see Lin Mu's true appearance.
But even they could see that Lin Mu's cultivation was only in the stage of returning to the void. Many people couldn't believe that Lin Mu could do such a thing.
In the blink of an eye, two cultivators at the integration stage were killed!
But there are more than one people who say this. Almost all cultivators from Feixian Palace say this.
Rumors are terrible, three people can make a tiger, and false things will become true after three people add fuel and jealousy, not to mention true things will become true through everyone's mouth, the credibility is extremely high and no one can doubt it.
"What's happening now, Lin Mu?"
A latecomer finally squeezed in and saw Lin Mu standing with a group of city guards, and couldn't help but ask.
"It seems that he is waiting for someone." Someone saw the clue.
"Lin Mu is so miserable now. He actually attacked others in the city in public and killed two practitioners in the integration stage. A few of them were imprisoned for several years."
"I can't stop watching." Someone said mysteriously, "Those two cultivators in the integration stage, I heard that they have a good relationship with the Lingbao Sect. This time they came to Feixian Palace to cause trouble. It must be the Lingbao Sect who was behind the instructions. The two combined practitioners How could Lingbao Sect give up when the early cultivator died? It would definitely put pressure on the City Lord's Mansion."
"That's true." Many cultivators reacted and began to talk and discuss.
"Lingbao Sect is a powerful force, and the City Lord's Mansion has to give it three points."
"Lin Mu has just arrived. He has no foundation here, just like a duckweed without roots. It's not like being blown away by the rain and letting the strong wind sweep away."
The cultivators were talking a lot, and the discussion was in full swing.
Ningxiang City hasn't had such exciting things in a long time.
Many cultivators were very concerned about this matter and speculated about Lin Mu's fate.
But everyone predicted that Lin Mu would not end well.
This time it will definitely be miserable!
"When Lin Mu came to Ningxiang City, he slapped Qu Sheng in the face in public and beat him into a pig's head. Then he built the Feixian Palace and sold jade slips. The business was extremely hot. On the first day of the Feixian Palace's opening, he beat him into a pig's head. Killing two practitioners in the integration stage, who can outshine him during this period? "
"It flourishes but then declines. The strength is easily broken. Lin Mu may be doomed this time."
"I also think so. Decades of confinement is a trivial matter. I am afraid that during the process of confinement, someone will join forces to get rid of him."
"No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to deal with several practitioners in the integration stage at the same time, especially those in the late stage of integration!"
Lin Mu listened to the discussions of the cultivators onlookers, his face calm as waves.
But his heart was also filled with ups and downs and it was difficult to calm down.
He didn't know what was waiting for him.
Just when Lin Mu was extremely anxious and the cultivator in gold couldn't help but start urging him to leave quickly, from a distance, a female cultivator in green clothes flew towards him.
The crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
Qingxiu!
The head of Qingyu Sect is here!
Qingxiu can be said to be the fairy in the hearts of thousands of male cultivators in Ningxiang City, the object of their thoughts day and night.
At this moment, many male cultivators were excited to see Qingxiu's true appearance.
Qingxiu's ethereal figure fell down in front of Lin Mu.
"I violated the city rules and went to the City Lord's Mansion. Feixian Palace will trouble you to take care of it for me." Lin Mu said directly to Qingxiu without exchanging pleasantries.
"You can go with ease, don't worry." Qingxiu smiled sweetly, and then whispered, "When you see the city lord, don't quarrel with him, try your best to make friends with him, or you may be given a lighter sentence. If it really doesn't work, , I will take action myself to see if there is a better way.”
"You are a person who wants to do great things, and you can't delay your future because of such a confinement." Qingxiu comforted, "Those two practitioners in the integration stage are responsible for themselves. You should take advantage of it and don't worry too much.
Lin Mu felt warm in his heart and nodded repeatedly.
"Oh my god, what did I see?"
Among the crowd, some people couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Qingxiu came here because of Lin Mu?"
"At this time, the two of them were still talking and laughing."
"Qingxiu seems to be comforting Lin Mu."
"What is their relationship?"
"Lin Mu is so hateful!"
"As soon as we came here, we snatched our fairy!"
"Get him quickly!"
"Lock him up!"
“Decades are never too late.”
"It's best to lock him up for the rest of his life and never come out again."
Because of Qingxiu's sudden arrival, many cultivators who were still on Lin Mu's side and worried about Lin Mu immediately switched sides, filled with indignation and anger.
The power of women is truly terrifying.
Lin Mu was surprised when he heard the commotion around him.
He did not expect that Qingxiu would have such a strong influence in Ningxiang City.
Now, many male cultivators even regard him as their enemy.
But on the other hand, this is a good thing.
If the matter really reaches the point where it cannot be solved, maybe Qingxiu can bring him an unexpected surprise.
Under repeated urging from the golden-robed cultivator, Lin Mu had no choice but to say goodbye to Qingxiu.
Then, escorted by a group of city guards, he headed towards the city lord's mansion.
