Chapter 612:
Mu Yuntian tore through the air, and a golden badge fell out from the torn sleeve of the person, landing on the ground.
Mu Yuntian saw it, and his brows furrowed deeply.
At this moment, the destroyed-faced man's eyes rolled, and his voice carried a hint of enchantment, also somewhat defiant,
"General Mu, does this answer satisfy you?"
"My lord should not have acted; you should be able to guess the intentions from above."
"It would have been best if that Colonel from the Shu land died in an accident; today's opportunity was really perfect, what a pity."
"However, my lord can find another opportunity..."
He spoke in a sinister tone, but in the next second, a loud explosion of air.
His words were cut off, his eye socket suddenly twisted, as Mu Yuntian fiercely slapped down on him.
"You..."
He wanted to say more, but under that deadly gust, his pupils filled with fear.
The next second, a muffled bang.
His head shattered like a watermelon, that detestable face vanished, red and white matter scattered everywhere.
Mu Yuntian coldly withdrew his hand, apathetically watching the headless corpse fall to the ground, snorted coldly,
"I intended to spare your life."
"But you were too foolish."
"This General does not need you people teaching me how to do things!"
After speaking, Mu Yuntian casually waved his hand, and a strand of flame incinerated the two corpses in front of him into nothingness.
He then clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze lowered, watching the golden light slowly melt in the flames, becoming obscure,
"Why force me to kill?"
Once the flames extinguished, Mu Yuntian's expression turned serene once more, and he then stepped away, disappearing just like that.
The next morning, just as the sky brightened, at the front gate of the Baoqing Prefecture Office.
A group of officials and clerks of the office arrived early, gathering in threes and fives.
Those with rank stood inside the gate, those without, waited outside the office, gathered in threes and twos, stretching their necks and standing on tiptoes to look inside.
At this time, above the office, there was an ancient and imposing black flying boat, seemingly made entirely of black iron spirit; it was more like a warship than a flying boat!
Deep and profound runes and array patterns were engraved all over it, with soldier armor displayed.
Soon, there was some commotion at the front gate of the office, and inside, the sound of saluting echoed.
Outside, the clerks and military officers who were gossiping quickly stopped their discussions, stood up straight, tidied their clothes, adjusted their appearance, and their expressions turned respectful.
At this moment, a few people stepped out from the high threshold of the office's main gate.
At the forefront, two people walked out side by side.
One of them was naturally the Three Qin General, Mu Yuntian. At that moment, this Lord General was dressed in official attire, wearing a purple Qilin robe, exuding a majestic and dignified aura.
Beside him, Chen Yuan was in casual green clothes, with a gentle demeanor, resembling a refined nobleman!
Half a step behind them, Gongsun Yang carried a richly decorated bag, full and bulging, and his expression was as usual.
Gou Yue and Xu Shaoqing trailed a step behind.
Further behind, were the local Lord, Prefect, each leading officials from both sides.
Once they exited the gate, the small soldiers and clerks outside knelt in unison to salute, neatly and uniformly.
"Greetings to the Lord General!"
Their voices were loud, their eyes filled with ardor and reverence, hoping to be noticed by this Lord General.
However, this General Mu clearly did not spare any gaze to anyone among them. After stepping out of the office with Chen Yuan, he looked up at the black warship in the sky and said to Chen Yuan:
"Colonel Chen, please!"
Chen Yuan lifted his gaze slightly and nodded, then his form transformed into a streak of green light, shooting straight up to the flying boat in the sky.
Seeing this, Mu Yuntian slightly turned his head and indifferently instructed the local officials on both sides,
"You will have to work a bit more on the following matters, try to minimize the impact, you can all disperse."
"Yes!" the local Lord and others obeyed.
Mu Yuntian nodded, then also turned into a beam of light, soaring into the sky.
Following closely, Xu Shaoqing and the other two also ascended one after another.
"Respectfully sending off the lords!"
The Lord and Prefect of Baoqing led everyone in a respectful send-off with their arms folded.
The remaining kneeling officials echoed a resounding farewell, then rose one after another, looked up to the sky, and their eyes filled with wonder and whispered in intrigue.
"Who is that beside the Lord General? The General actually treated him with such courtesy!"
"Hush, can't you tell? That person is the Great Dragon Tiger Ability from yesterday, the one from Taibai Cave Heaven, who killed that Dragon and Tiger with his own hands; his skill reaches the sky. Who else could make the Lord General personally invite them?"
"Hiss, before, he looks like a completely different person, even I couldn't recognize him." The speaker inhaled sharply, recalling last night's great battle, feeling a bit disoriented.
He appeared merely as a noble gentleman, yet the contrast with yesterday's invincible and towering figure between heaven and earth was striking, making him feel a bit visually mistaken.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the black flying boat in the sky emitted a buzzing sound, rising up with two long streams of air, speeding towards the east, quickly disappearing into the distant sky.
In front of the main gate, only then did the Lord of Baoqing lower his hand, let out a long breath, tilted his head slightly, looked at Li Xun who was still gazing upwards, and spoke,
"Lord Li, there's no need to keep looking, the Lord General and that General have already left."
Li Xun seemed to return to his senses, his expression a bit complex, responded with an 'oh.'
Seeing him in such a manner, a strange glint flashed in the Lord of Baoqing's eyes, and he suddenly remarked,
"Congratulations, Lord Li!"
Li Xun was slightly taken aback, "Lord Zhang, what do you mean by that, what is there to celebrate?"
The local Lord, surnamed Zhang, raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone enigmatic,
"I heard that your lordship's aunt is an old acquaintance of the old master accompanying that General?"
"Also bestowed a treasure."
"Upon hearing this, the Lord General will likely keep an eye on your lordship in the future, your future prospects might skyrocket."
