XB-201 Shelter.

A group of Grandmasters faced the Dragon's Nest, their expressions solemn, ready for battle.

Inside the shelter.

City Lord City Lord Jiang Hong was analyzing data from the Dragon's Nest obtained by satellites and drones.

Lin Zhang, Lu Tian, and other Alliance high-ranking officials like Zhao Chengfeng from Hegemony Martial Arts Hall were present.

In front of Bai Qingyan, a middle-aged man in white training attire clearly stood at the center of the group.

"Senior Bai, in your opinion, is there any hope of taking down this Dragon's Nest by force?"

City Lord Jiang Hong turned to ask.

Bai Ming's figure was unrestrained, and his face looked to be at most in his thirties. If one didn't know his identity, who would have thought this man was the White Sword Sect, known as Dragon Star's strongest Mentalist!

"A direct frontal assault, with the current setup, has virtually no chance."

"If Wu Po Xing were present, and with me, perhaps the two of us together could give it a try."

Creak~!

City Lord Jiang Hong's brows furrowed tightly, and his palm instantly warped the shelter's table.

"There isn't just one Dragon's Nest; the one here isn't even the most serious. The other two are even more terrifying in number than this one!"

"The Alliance Leader needs to suppress the strongest of them, so it's unlikely he can come here anytime soon."

Bai Qingyan mused, "Grandfather, what if you went to the Alliance Leader and we first concentrated our forces to destroy one?"

Lin Zhang immediately shook his head, "Impossible."

"That Dragon's Nest has no chance of being breached unless the full power of a Great Grandmaster is unleashed."

"If we ignore the strongest one and forcefully attack the Dragon's Nest here, then we will inevitably watch Super-Tier Fierce Beasts rampage across Dragon Star."

"If."

"If another accident occurs during a forceful attack on the Dragon's Nest here, then the entire Dragon Star might be in jeopardy."

Vicious Animals.

They are intelligent.

The higher their rank, the greater their intelligence.

Fierce Dragons are even more cunning and treacherous.

If you retreat here.

Fierce Dragons can detect it at any time and then swarm out.

Just as everyone was frowning with worry, Lu Tian's communication device rang.

"What do you say?"

"Xiao Zhuo is dead?"

Lu Tian's body suddenly shook:

"How is that possible?! Where are his bodyguards?"

.Suddenly.

A murderous intent, exceptionally fierce, flashed in Lu Tian's eyes: "The bodyguards are dead too? Heads exploded, instant kill?"

Immediately after.

Immediately, a live video appeared right in front of Lu Tian.

The rest, having heard this, went forward to see.

The chaotic situation in the private room involuntarily made Bai Qingyan frown.

But the next second.

A Flying Sword flashed out, instantly piercing through the heads of the two bodyguards.

"azure flame flying sword! Grandmaster Combat Power!" Bai Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing within them.

In an instant.

Only the White Sword Sect clearly saw the Flying Sword and accurately judged the opponent's combat power.

Directly after.

The Flying Sword struck upon Lu Zhuo's chest.

Everyone clearly saw this; it was indeed the azure flame flying sword, without a doubt.

"Myriad Sword Pavilion?!"

Lu Tian immediately glared at Bai Qingyan, red with anger.

He didn't have the guts to get angry with Bai Ming, so he can only glare at Bai Qingyan.

Lu Zhuo looked really frightened, uttering a few incoherent words to the air.

"Qin Mu, Myriad Sword Pavilion!?"

Lu Tian's mind now only registered these keywords.

"What else did he say?!"

Bai Qingyan was surprised.

The moment she heard Lu Zhuo was dead, she knew Qin Mu was the one who did it.

But just now, her grandfather said the attacker had Grandmaster Combat Power?

Does Qin Mu have the Grandmaster Combat Power?

How could it be!

"The azure flame flying sword is an exclusive product, but not a unique weapon; Myriad Sword Pavilion also used to sell them."

After thinking it through, Bai Qingyan replied calmly, "As for the perpetrator, you just heard about a Mentalist with Grandmaster Combat Power. All Grandmaster Combat Power individuals in my Myriad Sword Pavilion are at the Dragon's Nest!"

Beside them, a Grandmaster spoke up to ask:

"Before Lu Zhuo died, he must have been talking to the killer, right?

"Where is the killer? Wasn't he filmed?"

Lu Tian shook his head lightly, full of resentment.

Bai Ming's gaze was thoughtful, but he did not speak.

Zeng Zhan, however, recalled something: "Speaking of the Azure Flame Sword, wasn't it given to Qin Mu by Supervisor Bai during the Martial Examination?"

Qin Mu?

A fierce glint immediately flashed in Lu Tian's eyes: "I didn't expect him to still harbor resentment over the incident at the processing plant!"

"Just now, Xiao Zhuo mentioned the processing plant and Qin Mu many times!"

"That's right!"

"It's Qin Mu!!"

"There are only so many Mentalists in Jiangcheng, and even fewer who wield an Azure Flame Sword. Besides that Qin Mu, no one else could have committed the crime."

Pfft!

Bai Qingyan couldn't help but retort, "Lu Tian, do you think Cultivating to be a Mentalist is easy?"

"How long has that Qin Mu been Awakened? During the Martial Examination, he had only just broken through to Dominator. How could he have Grandmaster Combat Power after just a few days?"

Hmph.

Lu Tian gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger, and said with a gloomy expression, "Didn't Supervisor Bai previously think that Qin Mu had extraordinary talent? Why are you now saying he's incapable?"

"You!?"

Bai Qingyan was infuriated.

The nearby Bai Ming, however, merely smiled faintly: "Heh heh, it took me a full year to go from Dominator to Grandmaster Combat Power back then. Can this young fellow named Qin Mu truly be so Heaven-Defying?"

Hiss.

Hearing this, everybody chimed in to explain.

"Sword Sect, rest assured: this must be a crime committed by somebody else.

"Exactly~"

"That young fellow Qin Mu has only just been promoted to Martial Artist; he's still very far from Grandmaster Combat Power."

.Damn it!

Lu Tian's throat trembled: "Even if it's not Qin Mu, it must be someone related to Qin Mu. As long as we catch Qin Mu, we can immediately find out!"

"Oh?"

Lin Zhang heard this, a smile suddenly flashed across his lips.

"I can understand Grandmaster Lu's feelings, but what you just said, are you planning to arrest someone and interrogate them without any evidence?"

"What did you say?! Isn't this video evidence?!" Lu Tian roared, flaring up.

As a Great Grandmaster, Lin Zhang would not fear him; he merely snorted coldly.

"Li Chengguang died, and I could say Tianlu Group did it. Can I investigate Tianlu Group now?"

Suddenly.

Lu Tian's face turned ashen, like an old pickled vegetable marinated for three years.

"Good! Good, good!

"Starbreaker is also planning to seek revenge, right?

"Alright then, we will repay injustice with injustice, and vengeance with vengeance!!"

Bang!

City Lord Jiang Hong slammed his palm down, and the entire shelter instantly vibrated and split apart: "Silence!!"

All the Grandmasters were immediately suppressed by the aura City Lord Jiang Hong unleashed.

Apart from Lin Zhang, Zhao Chengfeng, and Bai Ming, the three Great Grandmasters who remained calm, all other Grandmasters felt difficulty breathing, their shoulders heavy as a thousand pounds!

The might of a Great Grandmaster!

Could it really overwhelm a Grandmaster with just an aura!?

"The murder case must be investigated, but before there's evidence, no one is allowed to act without authorization!" City Lord Jiang Hong growled in a deep voice: "As for Qin Mu, immediately place him under surveillance, and lift it after the matter is clarified."

"Now, no Grandmasters are allowed to enter the city until the Dragon's Nest crisis is over!"

"As for Jiangcheng, immediately screen all Mentalists and have their cultivations tested!"

Ordered by the City Lord.

Even if Lu Tian wished he could find Qin Mu right now, he had no choice but to stay here. At the same time.

Jiangcheng, Linjiang Road.

Without much trouble, Qin Mu found the warehouse Lu Zhuo had mentioned.

Late at night.

This warehouse, which had never shown any activity during the day, was now brightly lit.

Qin Mu stepped on his shield, hovering in mid-air, passing over the alarm system from a hundred meters high, slowly descending.

In his ears, he heard voices from inside the warehouse.

"Let me go!"

"This bag-carrying job, I, I'm not doing it anymore. If you don't let me go, I. I'll report you to the Public Security Team!"

Slap!

It sounded like someone gave a crisp slap.

"Damn it!"

"What is the matter with youth nowadays?"

"Young, you gotta be sensible~"

"If you are not sensible, I'll make you sensible~"

"See this? This knife in my hand hasn't seen blood in a long time. Say one more damn word, and I'll immediately make your head move!"

."You? You dare to kill?"

"No~!"

"You killed someone, aren't you afraid that the Public Security Team will investigate?"

Several youths asked in fear.

Qin Mu heard this and furrowed his brows: "That sound, Qian Wen?"

."Hahahaha!"

"Kill? I have killed enough people!

"You signed up to be released from the city. What is a few wild deaths?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Are you a Martial Artist?

"Even if a Martial Artist dies outside, you won't hear a peep~!"

Just then.

The wall blew up with a bang. Qin Mu scanned the scene, and quickly found his close friend Qian Wen among the huddled young people. Instantly. Qin Mu's eyes burst forth with waves of killing intent. "Tianlu Group, you're looking for death!"
