With a Holy Land supporting it, the Thunderflame Clan was so aggressive. If Li Mu had more than a Holy Land and a martial art emperor supporting him, how powerful he was!

That was too terrifying.

The distribution of forces in the Human Clan flashed across Yu Sanlun’s mind. The structure of forces that had been formed for a long time was extremely clear. Suddenly, a person with the support of several martial arts Holy Lands and several martial art emperors appeared. It was as if a prehistoric giant crocodile suddenly appeared in a shallow pond where fish, shrimp, and hippos were enjoying their own pleasure.

Lin Yuquan was also quite depressed at this time.

He had received all kinds of detailed information about Li Mu from Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain. He also knew Lightning Taoist Ancestor Mountain had a grudge against Li Mu. However, they didn’t want to have a conflict with Li Mu for the time being. He thought he was in the Thunderflame Clan and wouldn’t confront Li Mu like his junior fellow apprentice, the Thunder Sage of the Nine Heavens, at first. He didn’t expect his subordinates to confront Li Mu today.

As the saying went, enemies always gathered together.

Now, he had a headache and didn’t know what to do.

Today, he had lost all his face in the Sage-gathering Pavilion.

But he also knew if acting tough today, he might be more ashamed.

Having been in charge of the Thunderflame Clan for so many years, it was the first time that Lin Yuquan had encountered such an opponent. He felt like a tiger eating the sky but didn’t know how to start.

“Your honor, do you plan to let it go?” Yu Sanlun tried to ask a question.

Actually, he wanted to know if he had to go to the gate of the Inquisition and kneel there for three days and three nights. It was not a big deal for him to lose face, but the entire Thunderflame Clan would be ashamed.

Lin Yuquan raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said, “Go ahead.”

Yu Sanlun’s heart sank.

He had never seen his Chief retreat like this.

Yu Sanlun was unwilling and angry, but it was useless.

How could Yu Sanlun defy his orders?

Lin Yuquan glanced at him and said, “Don’t forget what the Inquisition is responsible for. Over the years, there are some things that you haven’t done well. If Li makes up his mind to investigate, it will be easy for him to find out what you have done with his background. At that time, I can’t protect you anymore.”

Yu Sanlun broke out in a cold sweat.

The Inquisition claimed to be in charge of the bright lamp and washing away the darkness. The corruption within the army was within the scope of the investigation. Yu Sanlun knew his affairs might be found out.

He was not afraid of others investigating him.

Even if the Inquisition sent others to investigate him, he wouldn’t be afraid.

However, if Li Mu, who had been supported by several Holy Lands and martial art emperors, came to investigate him with the righteousness of the Inquisition, how disastrous the consequences would be! Just thinking about it made Sanlun shudder.

“Do you know that I’m doing this to protect you?” Lin Yuquan asked.

Yu Sanlun bowed respectfully and said, “It’s hard for me to repay your kindness, your honor.”

Lin Yuquan added, “Li Mu is tactless and too arrogant. Even if he has an extraordinary background, he will still get into trouble one day. Moreover, his background can’t solve everything. Bear him and avoid him for the time being. It won’t be long before he gets into big trouble.”

“Do you live here?”

Seeing the dark and messy streets and alleys, which were overgrown with weeds and blocked by the floating mountains above his head, Li Mu was stunned.

Since Yun Shuangyan was a waiter in a restaurant, Li Mu expected that his family background conditions might not be good. However, he did not expect his family conditions to be so bad. Moreover, he didn’t expect Huining City, a Holy Land of the Military of Man, to have such a chaotic and dirty area.

The floating mountains above their heads were extremely beautiful. However, the places in the shadows of these floating mountains had people struggling to survive. The place was like the crowns of trees. It was only suitable to be looked far away. Once they entered it, they found the dense branches and leaves had covered the sun. The gloomy air was full of a stinky smell of humus.

Yun Shuangyan said, “Grandma is bedridden all year round, and my sister was born with a terminal disease. We have lived like this all these years. Your honor, it is dirty and smelly. Please don’t get in.”

Li Mu looked back at Li Shang and the other four people.

The five lowered their heads.

They knew that Chief Li was dissatisfied with them because they hadn’t taken good care of the descendants of Chief Yun.

“Let’s go in.” Li Mu said, “We must see with our own eyes how the descendants of the hero who has made contributions to the Human Clan live. Then we’ll know what we have missed in such a period of time.”

A trace of warmth rose in Yun Shuangyan’s heart, and he said, “Please go this way, your honor.”

He led the way.

This area was called the Muddy Land.

Although the ground was not covered with mud, it looked worse than any slum Li Mu had seen before. It was even dirtier and messier than the slums like the alley of killing pigs in Chang’an Mansion.

There were stone huts, thatched cottages, earthen walls, black ditches, and piles of trash that could be thrown down from the floating mountains at any moment. The air was filled with a rotten stench. A large swarm of buzzing insects could be seen flying about everywhere.

The place was dirty, messy, and bad.

Led by Yun Shuangyan, Li Mu and the others passed through many paths and met people living in this area. They looked different and had different expressions. However, they were all in ragged clothes and thin, just like weeds growing in mud. They were humble and tenacious.

Various people looked at Li Mu and the others curiously.

It was rare for such luxurious and clean people to appear in such a place.

The Yun Family’s residence was far.

Finally, they came to a small courtyard with mud walls at the southernmost end of the Muddy Land.

Creak!

Yun Shuangyan pushed the door open and went in.

“Who is it?” A low and hoarse voice came from a mud hut in the yard. It was obvious that she was short of breath.

“Grandma, it’s me,” Yun Shuangyan quickly shouted.

“Why did you come back so early today?” An old woman with a cane moved out of the shabby hut little by little. She was very thin.

Yun Shuangyan said, “Grandma, here we have house guests, I got off my work early today.” He walked in and helped the elder up. He smiled, looking happy. He said, “Grandma, didn’t I tell you to lie down and rest more? Why did you get up with a cane again?”

The elder just moved a few steps and panted slightly, “I got up and see Ying.” She noticed Li Mu and others and asked Yun Shuangyan in doubt, “Who are they?”

“Grandma, they are from the Inquisition, and this is its new Chief, Chief Li,” Yun Shuangyan hurriedly said.

“The Inquisition?” The elder’s body shook slightly, and a bright light flashed in the depths of her turbid eyes. Then she returned to normal.

Yun Shuangyan helped the old woman sit down and explained to Li Mu, “Grandma is too weak to salute. Please forgive her, your honor.”

Li Mu said, “Seniors are respected. Don’t be so polite to me.”

“May I ask why Chief Li has come to the muddy place of our Yun Family?” The old lady sat on a stone chair in the yard with a cane in her hands, barely maintaining her balance, and asked lightly.

This old lady was the wife of Yun Zhongyue, the 10th Chief of the Inquisition. Yun Zhongyue was peerless among his generation. It could be imagined that his wife was definitely not an ordinary person. But now, she became so poor. Her body was weak, and she looked no longer young and beautiful. Li Mu didn’t know what had happened to her.

However, at first glance, one could tell that her words were extraordinary.

Li Mu said, “I met Brother Shuangyan in the Sage-gathering Pavilion and learned that he is the descendant of the former chief, so I came to visit you.”

The elder said, “Oh, you have seen me now. The Yun Family has embarrassed the Inquisition. Your honor, please go back.”

Li Mu shifted.

Her tone was quite unfriendly as if she was full of resentment.

Was it because the Inquisition hadn’t cared about the Yun Family all these years?

“Ma’am, I’m here to apologize to you and the Yun Family on behalf of the Inquisition. For such a long time, the Inquisition has neglected to take care of the descendants of those who have contributed,” Li Mu said amiably. “I promise that such a thing will not happen again in the future.”

“Our Yun Family can’t afford your apologizing.” The elder’s expression didn’t change, and she said lightly, “If you have finished your words, please go back. This place is dirty and smelly, and it’s not a place for people like you to stay.”

“It seems she is really angry.”

Li Mu smiled bitterly.

“Ma’am, I see you are in poor health. Can I diagnose you?” Li Mu said respectfully. The other party was weak and more than two hundred years. No matter how angry she was, how could Li Mu be angry?

“No need. I can’t afford it.” The elder refused without even thinking about it.

Yun Shuangyan hurriedly persuaded, “Grandma, Chief Li came with sincerity. If it weren’t for him, I would have been in big trouble today.” He quickly told her what had happened in the Sage-gathering Pavilion. He didn’t say it before because he was afraid that his grandmother would worry about him. But now, he had to say it.

“Really? Thank you very much, your honor.” The old woman was still indifferent.

When Li Shang saw this, he said angrily, “Ma’am, you are too unreasonable. Chief Li…”

“Shut up,” Li Mu said directly. “How dare you talk to Mrs. Yun like that?”

“Your honor, it’s not your fault. You just took office.”

“Back off.”

“Okay.”

After being scolded by Li Mu, Li Shang and the others directly left the courtyard.

Li Mu said, “I know you are angry. The Inquisition owes the Yun Family a lot, but that’s all in the past. From now on…”

“What do you know?” The old woman suddenly interrupted Li Mu.

Li Mu was stunned.

“You don’t know anything.” The old woman looked at Li Mu, and her expression softened a little. She said, “Please go back, Chief Li. With your enthusiasm and sincerity, you can’t change anything. You may be a good person and a good official, but you shouldn’t have anything to do with the Yun Family. Please leave quickly. It’s not easy for the Inquisition to have a new chief. Please don’t waste your time on such meaningless things.”

“Huh?”

Only then did Li Mu come to his senses.

This might not be resentment.
