90: misfortune

Lin Mu's question left Dragon Soul somewhat perplexed.

From what he knew, everyone who rang the heavenly dao bell would receive strong cultivation from the Academy Head.

How could Lin Mu know nothing about the Academy Head?

But looking at Lin Mu, he didn't seem to be asking a rhetorical question.

He collected his thoughts and replied, "That Academy Head is indeed a bit mysterious."

"As I mentioned earlier, his strength is at least in the Dao One Realm and above, and divine power is scarce on this continent, making it impossible to break through to the False God Realm."

Lin Mu promptly said, "So, the Academy Head is also from the God Realm?"

Dragon Soul nodded and replied, "Most likely."

Lin Mu pondered for a moment and asked, "Can people from the God Realm come to the Lower Realm at will?"

Dragon Soul said, "It's not very easy; every god who comes to the Lower Realm has to pay a heavy price."

"That Academy Head must have also paid a great price to come here."

Lin Mu then asked, "Who was the other person you mentioned who came here?"

Dragon Soul said, "I don't know his name, but he had already broken through to the Emperor Realm when he arrived."

"I only know his title, Great Emperor Yun You."

"Great Emperor Yun You?" Lin Mu murmured, recalling the name.

Suddenly, he remembered.

The jade slip he had bid for at the Tianmen Auction House was from Great Emperor Yun You.

That jade slip had helped Lin Mu a lot.

He couldn't help but say, "That Great Emperor Yun You was indeed a divinely gifted talent."

When he intercepted the person who had acquired the heavenly dao stone, Great Emperor Yun You's remnant soul was on him.

If Lin Mu knew he had casually killed him, what would he think?

Dragon Soul also echoed, "Young Master Lin is absolutely right. Back then, this Great Emperor Yun You had already touched the threshold of the Dao Realm."

"It's a pity that this world didn't have enough divine power to allow him to break through."

Lin Mu also felt a little wistful upon hearing this.

If he hadn't accidentally refined Primal God Power, he probably wouldn't have been able to retrieve this heavenly dao stone.

Let alone defeat this Dragon King from the God Realm.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu suddenly thought of the system again.

The task for this heavenly dao stone was issued by the system, and the Heaven Sect Academy Head was also using the heavenly dao stone for his plans.

Could there be some unspeakable relationship between the system and the Heaven Sect Academy Head?

The more Lin Mu thought about it, the more he felt this guess was very likely.

He couldn't help but worry about Lao Mo.

If, as Dragon Soul said, a hundred years had truly passed, would the person behind it make a move against Lao Mo?

Thinking of this, Lin Mu no longer intended to interrogate Dragon Soul.

He stared at Dragon Soul, having made up his mind.

Lin Mu then said to Dragon Soul, "Although you are now free, you are only a remnant soul."

"Trying to take revenge on the God Emperor of the God Realm is a pipe dream."

Dragon Soul's face turned very ugly upon hearing this.

The sorrow on his face flashed by, replaced by an expression of anger and unwillingness.

"Even if it takes ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or a million years. One day, I will ascend to the God Realm."

Lin Mu smiled faintly, "Hehe, I have a suggestion now, would you like to hear it?"

Dragon Soul was stunned and blurted out, "What suggestion?"

Lin Mu said, "It's very simple. From now on, you acknowledge me as your master, and I can help you take revenge."

Lin Mu had his purpose in doing this.

He would one day ascend to the God Realm.

Having a Dragon King from the God Realm by his side would make things much more convenient.

Dragon Soul, who was beside him, fell silent upon hearing this.

The expression on his face changed constantly, obviously struggling internally.

After a long hesitation, the expression on his face returned to calm.

He raised his head, raised his hands above his head, and said, "This subordinate, Long Yuan of the Dragon Clan, is willing to acknowledge Young Master Lin as his master today."

Although Dragon Soul acknowledged his master, his demeanor wasn't overly respectful.

Lin Mu knew what he was thinking and didn't deliberately mind.

Lin Mu believed that one day this old dragon would be convinced by his strength.

He calmly said to Long Yuan, "I will first use divine power to help you condense a clone, and then help you restore your true body in the future."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, a surge of Primal God Power instantly enveloped Dragon Soul.

After only a moment, a body identical to the previous clone condensed.

Long Yuan moved his body and felt no discomfort.

He excitedly bowed to Lin Mu, "Thank you, Young Master, for this act of recreation."

Lin Mu waved his hand, stopping his thanks.

"If you want to thank me, wait until I help you take revenge."

"Now I also need to rush back to Yanshan Kingdom. I'll give you an hour; we'll depart after that."

Long Yuan replied, "This subordinate can depart at any time; there's nothing to explain."

Lin Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this, pushing off the ground and heading towards the sea.

Lin Mu was worried about Lao Mo, so his speed was much faster than when he arrived.

He reached the surface of the sea in just a moment.

Lin Mu saw Yun Feiyang and Long Yuan had caught up, so he identified the direction and led the way, flying rapidly.

Several days later, on the outskirts of the Qilian Mountain Range.

The figures of Lin Mu's three stopped here.

Lin Mu looked at the scorched earth below, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

The once lush green ground was now a mess.

There were ruins everywhere, and the ground was covered with traces of fire.

Occasionally, a few charred corpses could still be found.

Yun Feiyang couldn't help but say, "Did a war happen? Why is it like this?"

Lin Mu didn't speak, but flew on, continuing his journey.

After flying for less than another quarter of an hour, Lin Mu's figure stopped again.

He flashed and landed in a scorched peach blossom forest.

After Lin Mu landed, he looked around.

At this moment, Luocheng Mountain was also a scorched earth.

Lin Mu's divine sense spread out, but he found no traces of human presence.

He only vaguely saw two raised small mounds in an open space.

The original tombstones were nowhere to be seen.

These were the graves of Wang Changhe and Xu Liying.

Lin Mu slowly walked forward, the sinister expression on his face sending chills down Yun Feiyang's spine.

Yun Feiyang knew well that Xu Liying was Lin Mu's only pain.

Now that Xu Liying's grave had been desecrated, Lin Mu's anger was imaginable.

At this moment, Lin Mu walked to Xu Liying's grave.

He stretched out his hand and used Primal God Power to carve a few words in the air.

After he finished carving, those words stood in front of Xu Liying's grave out of thin air.

Yun Feiyang looked closely and saw the words "Tomb of Deceased Friend Xu Liying."

Although Long Yuan didn't know the full story, he could feel Lin Mu's anger at this moment.

It was as if a sleeping monster was slowly awakening.

He couldn't help but guess who this Xu Liying was, to make the usually calm Lin Mu like this.

After Lin Mu carved the tombstone, his eyes became extremely cold.

He slowly said, "No matter who it is, I will make them wish they were dead."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Long Yuan didn't dare to delay and followed closely behind Lin Mu.

Yun Feiyang didn't follow immediately.

He casually pulled over a bluestone and carved the words "Sword God Wang Changhe" on it.

Then, using his flying sword, he carved the bluestone into a tombstone and erected it in front of Wang Changhe's grave.

After doing all this, Yun Feiyang took a deep look at the tombstone, sighed, and then flew away.
