Sure enough, seeing that Lin Mu was injured, the sinister man and the secret Asia Saint both made a wrong judgment, thinking that Lin Mu's cultivation level was less than six epochs, and they were able to succeed this time just because they took advantage of a sneak attack.
As for why they were unable to discover Lin Mu in advance, it must be that Lin Mu had mastered some powerful method of hiding his aura.
After all, the world is full of wonders, and it is not impossible to have such a technique.
After deliberately taking the attack from the sinister man, Lin Mu immediately increased his speed by several levels, giving the impression that he was leveraging his strength and maxing out his life potential.
After escaping from the sight of these people, Lin Mu used his soul thought again to isolate the void and shield the secrets of the sky so that no one could find him.
Sensing Lin Mu's disappearance, the sinister man was furious: "You bastard, you actually let him escape."
This time, they really lost both their wives and their troops.
He spent so much manpower and material resources to set up such a big game, and even spent a heart-killing arrow, and ended up making a wedding dress for someone else.
And it is conceivable that after this incident, between Prince Qing's Mansion and Prince Li's Mansion, either Prince Qing's Mansion will compensate and make concessions, or there will be a fierce battle.
At the same time, figures one after another came from all directions, undoubtedly strong men attracted by the energy fluctuations here.
"Walk!"
The sinister man could only give the order angrily. If they didn't leave, they would be treated like a monkey show.
He could even imagine that as long as the news here spreads, he and Prince Qing's Mansion would become the laughing stock.
Especially for him, he still doesn't know what punishment he will bear after returning.
Outside the city, in the wilderness.
"Your Excellency, I am in Dingyuan. Thank you very much for your help."
The middle-aged man from Prince Li's mansion who was rescued by Lin Mu said gratefully.
Lin Mu let him go and said calmly: "No need to thank me, this jade of destiny will be regarded as my reward."
After hearing this, the grateful look on Ding Yuan's face immediately disappeared, and he frowned and said: "Your Excellency, this Jade of Destiny is what our prince wants. I'm afraid I can't give it to you. Why don't you make some other requests? We are serious."
Whatever the palace can achieve will definitely satisfy you."
Lin Mu listened and said without changing his gaze: "I'm not discussing with you, I'm just telling you a fact."
Ding Yuan's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency, think twice before doing anything. I am grateful for your life-saving grace, but I also hope that you will not try to repay your kindness by taking advantage of it."
"Um?"
Lin Mu glanced at Ding Yuan.
Fortunately, he was not a newbie, otherwise he would have been angered by Ding Yuan. Looking at Ding Yuan's expression, there was no hint of genuine gratitude to his savior. He was probably just thinking of giving him some random benefits.
"Whatever you think."
Then, Lin Mu shook his head and walked directly away.
He has experienced too many storms and seen countless white-eyed wolves, but Ding Yuan still cannot make him angry.
Looking at Lin Mu's back, Ding Yuan spoke again: "I know that your strength is quite good, and I guess you won't be much worse than me. But before, you seemed to have been severely injured by people from Prince Qing's Mansion, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu paused and turned to look at him: "Do you mean to threaten me by saying this?"
"good."
Ding Yuan's eyes have become extremely cold, "Don't covet things that you shouldn't get your hands on. You are not qualified to get the Jade of Destiny. Hand it over, and I may be able to ask Prince Qing for credit. Otherwise, you won't be able to get it."
Don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Lin Mu sighed: "There have always been many people threatening me, but so far I am still standing well."
"It seems that you really don't know how to praise me."
Ding Yuan no longer hid his murderous intent, and there was a strange light in his eyes.
He thought of another plan.
He killed Lin Mu and then erased the fact that he was rescued. When he reported to Prince Li's Mansion, he said that he had escaped from the siege on his own, so that his contribution would be greater and he would get more rewards.
"kill!"
He is also a decisive person. Once he has made a decision, he will no longer hesitate.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters!
What kind of savior? Only he and Lin Mu knew about this matter. As long as he killed Lin Mu, no one in the world would know about it. Then he could make up whatever he wanted, saying that Lin Mu was his back-up man.
Clang!
He decisively drew his sword, and the long sword was like thunder, piercing Lin Mu's throat directly.
"Die."
Ding Yuan's face was full of ferocity and coldness.
tick tick tick
After a moment, his expression froze, sweat poured down his face, and his pupils dilated with fear.
The tip of his sword was held between Lin Mu's two fingers.
"Repaying kindness with hatred?"
There was no anger on Lin Mu's face and he smiled lightly.
There was indeed no anger in his heart. To him, people like Ding Yuan were just a small remnant of his slow cultivation path. He could just get rid of them.
Ding Yuan swallowed his saliva, his face was as pale as paper, and he said in a trembling voice: "No, senior, it was my fault. If I had known that you were so powerful, senior, I would not have dared to attack you even to death."
"So, if I'm not strong enough, I should be killed by you? Be a good old man who dies unjustly? Be a farmer who is bitten by a poisonous snake?"
Lin Mu's tone was calm.
"No, no, senior, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
Ding Yuan became more and more frightened, "The Jade of Destiny should belong to Senior. Please spare me, Senior. I will never dare to offend Senior in any way in the future."
clang!
Lin Mu flicked his finger directly on the tip of the sword.
The hilt of the sword in Ding Yuan's hand plunged into his chest with a pop, and then the sword rotated, cutting Ding Yuan's body in half.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of light flew out of Ding Yuan's head. It was his soul. He wanted to escape.
Lin Mu's face was expressionless, he opened his mouth and took a breath, and began to perform the Beiming Jue. Ding Yuan's soul was immediately swallowed up.
After killing Ding Yuan, Lin Mu felt calm in his heart: "First digest this mark of destiny, and then look for the next one."
Destiny is uncertain, and all living beings reincarnate.
Destiny is eternal and merciless.
Lin Mu's soul was once again immersed in this third mark of destiny.
Destiny and will are vast and elusive. No matter how you grow old, sick or die, dynasties change, or the sea changes, your destiny will never change.
Destiny does not depend on human will, it flows eternally with time.
Even Lin Mu's mind was almost shaken.
If it were anyone else here, even the True King, he would be shaken by this will. From then on, he would believe that fate is irresistible and will always surrender to fate.
Fortunately, Lin Mu's strength was comparable to that of the Great Sage of Dzogchen and no weaker than the Dark Ancestor, so he was able to resist it with force.
It can be said that his confrontation with the will of fate is equivalent to his collision with the ideas of the Dark Ancestor.
No matter what your fate is, as long as you keep improving, you will eventually be able to stand tall between heaven and earth!
