The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors watching from the sidelines finally noticed a trace of strangeness.
Normally speaking, if the enemy was just a junior who had only gone through one Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Square Country's side would definitely have erupted in fury and struck at once!
Chief Steward Liao Jin could kill him with a backhanded move!
Yet now, not only had they not attacked, they were instead looking like they were on full alert.
They could all sense that the moment this white‑robed youth appeared, the auras of the four on the Heavenly Square Country's side suddenly changed.
"This…"
Just as the Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors watching were full of doubt, the Heavenly Guard Leader took a step forward and spoke slowly.
"Lin Wudi, my Li Mo Continent Heavenly Guards are willing to give you a chance. As long as you join the Li Mo Continent Heavenly Guards, not only will we let bygones be bygones regarding your slaughter of Heavenly Guards, we will also fully support your cultivation!"
That one sentence from Meng Wu Zhang stunned everyone present!
This white‑robed youth called Lin Wudi had actually killed Heavenly Guards before!
Moreover, it was clearly more than one.
Because Meng Wu Zhang had used the word "slaughter"!
Daring to kill Heavenly Guards—his courage had already pierced the heavens; he could only be described as insane.
But what shocked them even more was that the Li Mo Continent Heavenly Guards were actually trying to recruit such a madman!
"Could he be a Banished Immortal Genius?"
"So what if he is a Banished Immortal Genius? If he dares slaughter Heavenly Guards, even the status of a Banished Immortal Genius can't protect him!"
Some people were discussing.
Monster!
These two words, which were extremely unfamiliar to many Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors, suddenly popped into everyone's mind!
Only those peerless monsters would make the Heavenly Guards value them so much!
Monsters appeared only on the Central Domain's Four Great Divine Continents. Could it be that this white‑robed youth actually came from the Central Divine Continent?
Lin Mu was also a bit surprised by this proposal from the Li Mo Continent Leader.
He smiled faintly and said, "In the lands of the Heavenly Realm, mere little Heavenly Guards are far from enough to shackle my steps."
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent.
He had slaughtered Heavenly Guards before, and now he was rejecting the recruitment of the Heavenly Guards again—was this man not afraid of death?
Meng Wu Zhang's gaze grew dangerous. He said coldly, "You'd better think clearly about what it is you're rejecting when you refuse to join the Heavenly Guards!"
He was rejecting his only path to survival!
The Heavenly Square Country Queen looked at the white‑robed youth before her with great interest.
This person was truly interesting, daring to reject the Heavenly Guards in such a situation.
Lin Mu said calmly, "I bear neither grudge nor feud with the Li Mo Continent Heavenly Guards. If you retreat now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, you'll be my enemy."
Meng Wu Zhang burst into loud laughter and roared angrily, "Lin Wudi! Still putting on airs—do you take me for those idiots in your fleet?"
This Meng Wu Zhang was indeed a Heavenly Guard, but this time when he rushed to the Heavenly Square Country, he was not carrying out a Heavenly Guard mission.
When he received the Heavenly Guards' order to investigate Lin Mu's background…
He unexpectedly learned that Lin Mu possessed a magical treasure capable of suppressing a Third Tribulation expert.
Moreover, in his battle with the Terrifying Continent Heavenly Guard, Lin Mu had self‑detonated one thousand and twenty‑five Tribulation Thunder Thoughts!
Such severe injuries absolutely could not be recovered from in a mere six or seven months!
The current Lin Mu was nothing but a spent arrow at the end of its flight!
His attempt to recruit Lin Mu into the Heavenly Guards was genuine, but if Lin Mu wanted to join, he would have to hand over that magical treasure capable of suppressing a Third Tribulation expert as his entry offering!
He hadn't expected Lin Mu to actually dare reject his "kindness"!
The Li Mo Continent Heavenly Guards had already mobilized in full, and before long they would arrive at the Heavenly Square Country!
By acting like this, Lin Mu was practically committing suicide!
However, he himself would not wait for the Heavenly Guards to descend. He intended to act before the Heavenly Guards made a move, to pin Lin Mu down, seize his magical treasure, and force out his secrets!
He had already investigated clearly that Lin Mu's Six-Colored Divine Light Treasure was only effective against First Tribulation Ancestors.
In his eyes, Lin Mu right now was just a flashy, hollow spearhead. The five of them, all Second Tribulation Ancestors, working together could definitely kill this fiend!
At this point, Lin Mu no longer spoke. His eyes, indifferent, turned toward the Heavenly Square Queen and the others.
The Heavenly Square Queen suddenly let out a light laugh and said, "Lin Wudi—what an overbearing name!"
Her charming eyes rippled as she gazed into Lin Mu's, her voice enchantingly sweet. "You don't like being constrained by the Heavenly Guards. Then I wonder if you have any interest in being the king of a nation? If you're willing, I can yield the throne to you. I can even be your queen. How about it?"
A chorus of sharp intakes of breath sounded on the scene.
Even Lady Xin Thirteen on the Imperial Sky Flying Boat stared wide‑eyed in disbelief.
Make Lin Mu the King?
The Heavenly Square Queen actually had such a crazy idea!
Meng Wu Zhang snapped his head around, his gaze icy as he looked at the Heavenly Square Queen, and said coldly, "You're playing with fire!"
The Heavenly Square Queen, however, paid Meng Wu Zhang no heed. She still smiled brightly at Lin Mu. "Well? As long as you agree, I can help mediate with the Heavenly Guards and keep you safe…"
The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors watching realized that this woman was actually serious!
For Lin Mu's sake, she was willing to go against the Heavenly Guards!
They all looked at Lin Mu with suspicion.
What secret did this white‑robed youth, who had only gone through one Heavenly Tribulation, actually hide on his person?
Even if he was suspected of being a monster, it shouldn't be enough for the Heavenly Square Queen to go this far, right?
After all, it was only a suspicion!
If he truly was a monster, the Central Divine Continent could not possibly fail to dispatch Four or Five Tribulations powerhouses to act as his protectors!
If he wasn't a monster, then he could only be an exiled immortal.
But even the most top‑tier exiled immortal, before maturing, was just a junior!
Not only these Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors watching, even the three beside the Queen—Liao Jin and the others—were very surprised.
In her earlier conversation with Meng Wu Zhang, the Queen had never shown the slightest hint of such intentions.
At this moment, everyone's gaze focused on Lin Mu.
What would he choose?
If he advanced, he would be setting himself against the Heavenly Guards and would be hunted by the Li Mo Continent Heavenly Guards!
If he retreated, he would become the King of the Heavenly Square Country and even have a woman who had gone through two Heavenly Tribulations as his queen!
Lin Mu looked coldly at the Heavenly Square Queen. "I'm not interested in Fox Spirits."
With one sentence, he rejected the Heavenly Square Queen's temptation.
The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors watching couldn't tell whether they felt more regret or admiration.
Meng Wu Zhang, inexplicably, let out a breath of relief.
The Heavenly Square Queen's face instantly turned incomparably ugly, the earlier charm completely gone!
If someone had been staring closely into her eyes, they would have seen a trace of fear she could not conceal!
"Kill him!"
The Heavenly Square Queen, like someone enraged after being rejected, let out a furious scream.
The three beside her—Liao Jin and the other two—struck at the same time!
"Sword!"
"Blade!"
"Shock!"
The three Second Tribulation experts, facing a First Tribulation opponent, did not use Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to crush him, but instead unleashed Dao Arts of Ten Thousand Paths Merged into One!
Boom!
A blade and a sword slashed toward Lin Mu!
At the same time, a ripple of shockwaves invisible to the naked eye swept toward Lin Mu!
Seeing this, all the ignorant onlookers were dumbfounded.
Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors not using Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to attack, but instead using Ten Thousand Paths Merged into One—what kind of trick was this?
Some even looked at the Heavenly Square Queen in bewilderment.
Could it be that, despite her murderous air, this woman still wanted to give the white‑robed youth a chance, so her three subordinates hadn't used their killing moves?
Only Lady Xin Thirteen on the Imperial Sky Flying Boat understood that these people feared the suppressive power of the Sea-suppressing Pearl and did not dare to use Tribulation Thunder Thoughts!
"My benefactor, he…"
Even she didn't know how many Tribulation Thunder Thoughts Lin Mu had recovered in these past five‑plus months!
