Suddenly..

A sharp killing intent flashed through Ao Mengmeng's eyes.

"Damm it! Someone is shaking the Heavenly Sword Sect's core!"

There was no other possible explanation.

"The Heavenly Sword Sect... you mean the main sect? The biggest one?" Qin Mu asked.

"Of course!" Ao Mengmeng was practically exploding with rage. "Those bastards, how dare they target the Heavenly Sword Sect?! Why hasn't Heavenly Star Sword Formation activated and blasted them into ashes already?!"

You're asking me?

Who was he supposed to ask?

Qin Mu could only admit that this was far beyond his control.

Forces capable of shaking the Heavenly Sword Sect... was that a joke? Such existences could probably wipe out the entire Qingxuan Realm without breaking a sweat.

"We must hurry!" Ao Mengmeng urged anxiously. "If I can enter the Secret Realm, this princess might be able to reverse control the core and slaughter those bastards."

"Then you'll need to handover the True Dragon Clone Secret technique first," Qin Mu replied calmly.

He wasn't in a rush, but priorities mattered.

"Awoo, awoo, then let's go now~!" Ao Mengmeng finally panicked and urged him again.

However, Qin Mu still had things to arrange.

"Junior Brother Wu," Qin Mu said, turning to Wu PoXing. "I'll leave this place for you to guard."

"And if possible, arrange for more people on your side. The Dragon's Nest on the Ou Continent also needs a Star Rank fellow disciple to guard it."

"Bring people?" Wu PoXing's eyes immediately lit up. "Are there rewards?"

Qin Mu paused, then remembered.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had strict control over its disciples, it didn't fear betrayal.

In the past, recruitment standards had been extremely high. Ordinary people weren't even considered.

But now, manpower was desperately lacking. Even guarding the energy formation beneath the Dragon's Nest was already insufficient.

As for talents?

"As long as they're Star Rank" Qin Mu said decisively, "bring one, three hundred points."

Anyway, Dragon Star didn't have may Star Rank martial artists. Once they were recruited, that would be it. There wouldn't be a second wave of rewards.

Wu PoXing immediately made a video call.

"Hello? Gun King?" he said aloud. "I've got an ancient legacy here, straight to Star Realm Level. Interested?"

"...You are?"

"Good. Then bring Yan Kuang with you. Both of you. Hurry!"

He ended the call with a grin.

Good Heavens.

Even Qin Mu was impressed.

He immediately transferred the disciple recruitment authority to Little Yi.

"I've got other things to do," Qin Mu said. "When they arrive, just notify the smart system."

Smart system?

Wu PoXing had just turned around when.

Little Yi appeared before him.

"Yes," She said politely. "Little Yi is currently the management smart system of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and also oversees Dragon Star."

"Pfft!"

So that's how it was.

Wu PoXing finally understood where his smart system had gone.

Qin Mu...

No, Senior Brother Qin!

"Anything else?" Qin Mu asked casually.

"No... nothing at all~" Wu PoXing forced an extremely sincere smile onto his rugged face. "Senior Brother, go ahead. I'll handle things here!"

Could he complain about the home invasion?

Absolutely not.

Heavenly Sword Sect's rules were terrifying strict. If he said wrong thing, his points might instantly go negative. He had just booked a Fusion Domain course and only needed a few more recruits to afford it.

There was no choice.

Even if it meant breaking his teeth, he had t swallow it.

"Senior Brother, take care!"

Freedom City, fifty miles east.

Underground Fortress.

William passed through the fortress checkpoint and entered the lounge. He brushed the dust off his body and cursed under his breath.

"Damm beasts... why did they have to show up at such a critical moment? Not early, not late."

The Freedom Alliance had just been established. The Speaker hadn't even held office for two minutes before Shenluo City was wiped out.

"But that's fine too."

"Once those idiots are all dead, the entire Ou Continent will be mine to command."

William was in an excellent mood.

"Someone!" he called out. "Immediately bring all the Star Breaking Martial Arts Hall, Hegemony Martial Arts Hall, and Myriad Sword Pavilion across the thirteen cities of the Freedom Continent under the Group's control."

Heh.

This single harvest would net at least trillions.

William opened the liquor cabinet and carefully selected a bottle of century old whiskey.

"Good wine deserves a good day."

"Indeed," a cold voice suddenly replied. "It is a good day."

"Who?!"

William spun around in shock.

A young man was sitting calmly on the sofa.

That face.

It looked strangely familiar.

"You... you're Qin Mu?"

"Good... Good. Good...!!" hatred flashed in William's eyes. "You killed my son and still dare to come knocking at my door? You clearly don't know how to write word death!!"

Before he could finish...

A sword light flashed out of nowhere.

With a soft puchi; it pierced straight through William's glabella.

Until the moment of his death, the expression on William's face hadn't changed.

"Useless. A complete waste of time."

Qin Mu shook his head lightly.

If not for concerns about another traitor like Lu Tian causing trouble, he wouldn't even have bothered dealing with someone this insignificant.

William's cultivation wasn't low, Star Rank First Tier, but in a real fight, Bai Ming could kill him effortlessly.

Let alone Qin Mu.

Drip.

Little Yi appeared before him.

"Master, all assets and criminal members of the Freedom Group have been fully investigated and cleared. There was no contact with forces from the outer universe."

"Alright," Qin Mu said calmly . "Issue a mission and hand it over to the Heavenly Sword Sect for processing."

Too lazy to stay any longer, Qin Mu vanished from the bunker.

"Let's go. We're heading to the Dominion Trial."

Ten Minutes later.

Deep Underground, thirty thousand meter beneath the Dominion Trial.

Ao Mengmeng wore a solemn expression as she chanted ancient incarnations. Layer upon layers of mysterious black light erupted before her.

Seals were being lifted one after another. Energy continuously dispersed into the void.

The entire process would take five days.

Her current Divine Soul was far too weak. Unlocking the seal from back then would consume nearly ninety percent of her remaining power.

"Qin Mu," Ao Mengmeng suddenly said, her voice heavy, "there's really no turning back now."

"If we fail... this Empress won't even be able to protect you. I'll have no choice but to run."

Qin Mu dragged over a sofa and sat down behind her, watching quietly.

"Focus," he said calmly. "Don't get distracted."

"Wasting time is the real danger."
