Chapter 980 Confinement Risk
Lin Mu's face froze.
It's really a case of good things taking time, one problem after another, a headache.
After finally getting rid of the two fusion stage cultivators and getting some breathing time, he thought he could sell the jade slips safely, but who would have thought that these city guards would rush over 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 momentum is broken, it will be difficult to continue.
Lin Mu immediately discussed with the golden-clothed fusion stage cultivator: "I wonder if you can be flexible. Tomorrow, I will go to the city lord's mansion by myself and be willing to be punished. What do you think?"
"No!" The golden-clothed cultivator refused flatly with a stern tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
Seeing Lin Mu's expression change, the golden-clothed cultivator's tone softened, and it was not good to be too harsh. After all, this was a killing god. He had just killed two fusion-stage cultivators in front of everyone. He believed that his strength was not as good as those two fusion-stage cultivators. For his own safety, he had to be polite to Lin Mu.
"You have violated the city regulations too seriously this time. In any case, please come with us now." The golden-clothed cultivator's tone softened, "We are also doing things impartially. If I have the power to decide, let alone you go tomorrow, you can go the day after tomorrow, but this is the order of the city lord, and I can't violate it."
"Okay." Lin Mu nodded and said, "I'll go with you now."
There is still a long time to come. The City Lord's Mansion is the actual ruler of Ningxiang City. It is more powerful than Lingbaomen, and he cannot offend it.
What the golden-clothed cultivator said is reasonable. If you want to solve the problem, you still have to meet with the city lord.
The golden-clothed cultivator has no power at all, and the decision-making power is not in his hands.
In this case, Lin Mu did not struggle in vain.
If he was too self-centered, he would leave a bad impression on the city lord, which would be extremely detrimental to his future development.
Anyway, he would have to go sooner or later, so he might as well do it straightforwardly.
The sale of the jade slips of reception, with these eight female cultivators here, should be enough.
He had just killed two fusion stage cultivators, so no one would dare to risk their lives and come to make trouble again.
"Can you give me a moment?" Lin Mu smiled, "You can see that it's very busy here now, I need to explain."
The golden-clothed cultivator did not make it difficult this time, and agreed straightforwardly, "That's no problem, if you have anything to say, please explain it as soon as possible. This matter is too big, you may be put in solitary confinement, at least a few years, at most decades!"
Lin Mu was shocked when he heard this.
Still in solitary confinement?
He had never heard that the city rules were so strict.
At least a few years, at most decades, this is simply not something he can bear.
He couldn't waste time on meaningless confinement.
This was simply impossible.
Lin Mu had the idea of running away for a moment, but after a flash of thought, he rejected it.
He spent so much effort here, how could he just leave?
This was naturally impossible.
He still had to go to the City Lord's Mansion to see if there was any room for maneuver.
Lin Mu also made the worst plan. If he really had to be confined, he might have to fight.
At that time, it would be even more earth-shattering and extremely dangerous.
He didn't want such a thing to happen, but he would have to go to the City Lord's Mansion to know what was going on.
Lin Mu hurriedly told the eight female cultivators, "I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion. You can sell the jade slips here with peace of mind. After a while, your leader will come to support you."
The eight female cultivators were extremely busy. After nodding in agreement, they were busy with their own things.
Lin Mu patted his storage bag, took out a delicate purple talisman, and began to send a message to Qingxiu, asking her to come and help look after Feixian Palace.
Lin Mu was really worried without a fusion stage cultivator to support him.
He had put too much effort into this Feixian Palace.
He would not allow any mistakes to happen.
Qingxiu was at least a fusion stage cultivator, and the head of Qingyu Sect. In addition to the majesty he had just established, even a fusion stage cultivator would not dare to make trouble.
Lin Mu quietly handed a storage bag to a female cultivator and asked her to pass it to Qingxiu, who would be in charge of it.
There were one million jade slips in this storage bag.
Lin Mu did not give all the jade slips to Qingxiu, as he was afraid of accidents. These one million slips were probably enough to sell for several days.
Although there were millions of cultivators in Ningxiang City, it was impossible for everyone to come and buy now.
He knew his own limitations and his prestige was not that great.
However, this is not something that can be taken lightly.
A jade slip costs 100,000 spirit stones, and one million jade slips are worth hundreds of billions of spirit stones!
Hundreds of billions of spirit stones is also a staggering amount for a cultivator in the fusion stage.
It is hard to guarantee that no one will take the risk.
Lin Mu was still a little worried. Before Qingxiu arrived, he was still worried, so he simply discussed it with the gold-clothed cultivator 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 whole Ningxiang City was like a pot of boiling water, and it was in turmoil.
The news that Lin Mu had just killed two fusion stage cultivators spread like wildfire and was widely spread in Ningxiang City. Many cultivators were surprised and rushed to find out the truth.
In just a short moment, this street was packed with people. People outside could not get in at all, and people inside could not get out.
Some cultivators who got the news earlier were lucky enough to see Lin Mu's true appearance.
But even they could see that Lin Mu's cultivation was only at the Return to Void Stage. Many people couldn't believe that Lin Mu could do such a thing.
In an instant, he killed two fusion stage cultivators!
But there were more than one person who said so. Almost all the cultivators who came out of the Feixian Palace said so.
Rumors are terrible, and three people can make a tiger. A false thing will become true after three people add fuel to the fire. What's more, the truth will be highly credible after being passed by many people, and it is beyond doubt.
"What is Lin Mu's situation now?"
A latecomer finally squeezed in and saw Lin Mu standing with a group of city guards, and asked.
"It seems he is waiting for someone." Someone saw the clue.
"Lin Mu is in trouble now. He actually fought with others in the city in public and killed two fusion stage cultivators. Even a few will be imprisoned for several years."
"I think it's more than that." Someone said mysteriously, "I heard that the two fusion stage cultivators have a good relationship with Lingbaomen. This time they came to Feixian Palace to make trouble. It must be the Lingbaomen who instructed them behind the scenes. How could Lingbaomen let it go after the death of two fusion stage cultivators? They will definitely put pressure on the City Lord's Mansion."
"That's right." Many cultivators reacted and began to talk about it.
"Lingbao Sect is a big force, and the City Lord's Mansion has to give it some ground."
"Lin Mu is new here, and has no roots here, just like a rootless duckweed. Isn't it just like being blown away by the wind and rain, and being swept away by the wind?"
The cultivators were talking about it, and the discussion was in full swing.
Ningxiang City hasn't had such an exciting thing for a long time.
Many cultivators are very concerned about this matter, and they speculate and predict Lin Mu's end.
But the result predicted by everyone is that Lin Mu will not have a good end.
This time it will definitely be miserable!
"Lin Mu came to Ningxiang City to slap Qu Sheng in the face in public and beat him into a pig's head. After that, he established Feixian Palace and sold the jade slips for receiving. His business was extremely hot. On the first day of the opening of Feixian Palace, he killed two fusion stage cultivators. During this period, who can surpass him in popularity?"
"Everything is prosperous and will decline. It is easy to break. Lin Mu may be doomed this time."
"I think so too. Decades of confinement are a small matter. I am afraid that he will be killed by others during the confinement."
"No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to deal with several fusion stage cultivators at the same time, especially those in the late fusion stage!"
Lin Mu listened to the discussions of the onlookers, his face calm as waves.
But his heart was also turbulent 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 golden-clothed cultivator couldn't help but urge him to leave quickly, a female cultivator in green flew over from a distance.
The crowd cheered.
Qingxiu!
The head of Qingyu Sect is here!
Qingxiu is the fairy in the hearts of thousands of male cultivators in Ningxiang City, the object of their daydreaming.
Many male cultivators were excited to see Qingxiu's true face.
Qingxiu's figure floated and landed in front of Lin Mu.
"I violated the city rules and have to go to the City Lord's Mansion. I'll trouble you to take care of Feixian Palace for me." Lin Mu said to Qingxiu directly without any greetings.
"Go with peace of mind, don't worry." Qingxiu smiled and whispered, "When you see the city lord, don't quarrel with him. Try your best to make friends with him, or you can get a lighter sentence. If that doesn't work, I will personally go out and see if there is a better way."
"You are a man of great things. You can't let such confinement delay your future." Qingxiu comforted, "Those two fusion cultivators are to blame for themselves. You are the one who is right. Don't worry too much.
Lin Mu felt warm in his heart and nodded repeatedly.
"Oh my God, what did I see?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Qingxiu actually came for Lin Mu?"
"At this time, the two were still talking and laughing."
"Qingxiu seemed to be comforting Lin Mu."
"What is their relationship?"
"Lin Mu is so hateful!"
"As soon as he came here, he snatched our fairy away!"
"Catch him quickly!"
"Put him in confinement! ”
“Decades are not too much.”
“It’s better to lock him up for life and never come out again.”
Because of Qingxiu’s sudden arrival, many cultivators who were originally on Lin Mu’s side and worried about him immediately changed sides, filled with righteous indignation and anger.
The power of women is really terrifying.
Lin Mu was also surprised when he heard the commotion around him.
He didn't expect Qingxiu to have such a strong influence in Ningxiang City.
Now, many male cultivators even regard him as an enemy.
But from another perspective, this is a good thing.
If things really reach a point where they cannot be resolved, perhaps Qingxiu can bring him an unexpected surprise.
Under the repeated urging of the golden-clothed cultivator, Lin Mu had to say goodbye to Qingxiu.
Then, under the escort of a group of city guards, he headed towards the city lord's mansion.
