Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Exchanging the Sea-suppressing Pearl for the Queen’s Life
"Old Dog Wu, how dare you!"
Lady Xin Thirteen’s eyes widened in fury, instantly releasing eight hundred Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, forming a sharp Long Spear!
She had waited six thousand years for this opportunity, how could she possibly let Old Dog Wu harm Lin Mu!
Mia Qing watched the scene from afar, quite astonished.
This woman, regarded as a lunatic and fool by everyone at Bei Kuo Sea Market, turned out to be a top-tier genius, possessing over eight hundred Tribulation Thunder Thoughts!
Such talent, even more formidable than the six Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors of the Barbarian Continent!
Could such a top-tier genius truly be a fool?
The old man’s face turned pale and then green; he had just acted rashly and suddenly realized he was no match for Lady Xin Thirteen.
His task was simply to supervise and maybe capture some of Lady Xin Thirteen’s embarrassing moments to entertain his master.
Now, having released the Tribulation Thoughts, he found himself trapped, unable to advance or retreat.
Lin Mu said calmly to Lady Xin Thirteen, "I really like your magical treasures, so I will resolve this matter for you, regardless of how many times."
As he spoke, Lin Mu glanced at the old man, "Including killing him!"
With those words, the atmosphere at the scene instantly froze.
All those present at the Unity Realm Stage swiftly distanced themselves, and even a few Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors’ expressions changed slightly.
To kill! To kill a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor, this was extremely rare in the Heavenly Realm!
Even Lady Xin Thirteen looked at Lin Mu in disbelief.
She had never imagined someone would kill for the sake of such so-called magical treasures!
The old man seemed shocked but then laughed heartily, "Lady Xin Thirteen, you truly are a fool. You spent six thousand years only to find such an ignorant and arrogant fool! Daring to kill in the Heavenly Realm..."
Before the old man could finish, a flash of sword light appeared before him!
Crack!
His Tribulation Thought Blade shattered instantly!
Splat!
The old man’s head flew high.
Until the moment of his death, his expression remained that of laughter, mocking Lady Xin Thirteen’s stupidity and ridiculing Lin Mu’s arrogance.
"You talked too much, I’ve changed my mind."
Lin Mu retracted his thoughts, his face calm and collected.
Lady Xin Thirteen’s mind buzzed.
Dead?
Really dead!
Old Dog Wu, who had been following her for six thousand years and whom she once loathed, was killed just like that?
The events unfolding before her felt so unreal!
The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors watching were also stunned, gazing at Lin Mu, dressed in white as pure as snow.
This person killed a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor without even blinking!
Could it be that he’s not afraid of being captured by the Heavenly Realm Guard for retribution?
After the initial shock, several Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors quickly left.
Such a dangerous person who kills so readily is best avoided.
Those at the Unity Realm Stage were even more petrified, each flying away swiftly by sword.
He dares to kill even the Tribulation-Crossing ones, let alone those at Unity Realm Stage.
Lin Mu looked at the still dumbfounded Lady Xin Thirteen and asked mildly, "So, do you still dare to trade with me?"
Lady Xin Thirteen stared blankly at Lin Mu, finally managing to utter, "Does your Holy Lands have any Second Tribulation Ancestor?"
Lin Mu chuckled, "If I say I have the power to kill a Second Tribulation Ancestor, can I then trade with you, do you trust me?"
Trust?
Not trust?
Lady Xin Thirteen nodded blankly.
She had just seen clearly that Lin Mu used only nine Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to shatter Old Dog Wu’s hundreds of thoughts and kill him!
Such power is almost on par with a Second Tribulation Ancestor.
Moreover, this white-clad youth’s calm and confident demeanor inspired a sense of unknown trust in her heart.
Lin Mu said no more and headed towards the Imperial Sky Flying Boat with Lady Xin Thirteen.
Mia Qing and the other three women followed silently behind.
In the market, seeing the five people approach, everyone gave way, not daring to make contact.
A being who freely kills Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors—never mind their strength, just this demonic nature chills everyone’s heart.
It wasn’t until they boarded the Imperial Sky Flying Boat that Lady Xin Thirteen seemed to come around, incredulously saying, "Are you all from the Barbarian Continent?"
Just after boarding the Imperial Sky Flying Boat, she saw the emblem on it.
It was the Renowned Swords of the Barbarian Continent.
Realizing that the person in whom she had placed all her hopes was actually from the Barbarian Continent, Lady Xin Thirteen’s heart sank into despair.
Mia Qing, noticing her mood, smiled and said, "Don’t worry, if what you want involves just a Second Tribulation Ancestor, our World Master will definitely help you accomplish it."
World Master?
Lady Xin Thirteen realized she had been slow all day; only now did she discover that the white-clad youth was actually an Earth Realm Master.
From the rising purple aura on him, he must have ascended to the Heavenly Realm within the last fifty years!
In less than fifty years, he advanced from the Unity Realm Stage to Tribulation-Crossing, and easily killed Old Dog Wu with six hundred Tribulation Thunder Thoughts.
This raised a spark of confidence in Lady Xin Thirteen’s heart.
If given time, maybe it wouldn’t take a few thousand years for her to seek revenge.
She’s already waited six thousand years for vengeance, she didn’t mind waiting a few more thousand!
"Tell us your story, and what you want me to do."
Sitting in the main seat, Lin Mu spoke lightly.
At this point, Lady Xin Thirteen had no better option.
Lin Mu was the only person willing to help her in six thousand years.
Moreover, Lin Mu’s ruthless act of killing a Tribulation-Crossing being stirred her heart.
If she could kill her enemy, that would be far better than the suppression she previously planned!
Lady Xin Thirteen slowly sat down and recounted her life story.
She came from the Heavenly Square Country, a subordinate of Li Mo Continent in Danzhou.
Unlike the structure of Terrifying Continent Holy Lands or Sects, Danzhou consists of various countries.
The Heavenly Square Country is one of the three major kingdoms of Danzhou, having two Second Tribulation Ancestors.
One is the king of the Heavenly Square Country, and the other is the Great General of the country, who is also Lady Xin Thirteen’s father.
The two called each other brothers, trusting one another, and the country’s power thrived with experts abundant.
If it continued this way, perhaps in a few thousand years, the Heavenly Square Country could annex the other two countries to become Danzhou’s only kingdom, rising to become an Empire.
Unfortunately, everything changed when the king married a woman from the Central Divine Continent.
Only two thousand years later, the king died mysteriously, even the Heavenly Realm Guard couldn’t find any evidence!
After the king’s death, the queen from the Central Divine Continent ascended the throne as the Queen!
Lady Xin Thirteen’s father naturally disagreed; he wanted to pass the throne to the previous king’s son.
Unexpectedly, the Great General died mysteriously the year after the queen ascended the throne.
The Heavenly Realm Guard descended, but still found no clues.
However, Lady Xin Thirteen knew well that her father must have been harmed by that queen.
She carried her family’s secret treasure to the Terrifying Continent, seeking someone to avenge her, but to no avail.
"You say the Heavenly Realm Guard descended twice and still couldn’t find any clues?"
After hearing Lady Xin Thirteen’s story, Lin Mu asked.
Lady Xin Thirteen nodded.
Lin Mu pondered a moment, then continued asking, "What was the cultivation level of the Heavenly Realm Guard who came the second time to investigate the case?"
Lady Xin Thirteen was taken aback for a moment, then answered, "He was a Director of the Heavenly Realm Guard."
A Director of the Heavenly Realm Guard is a Third Tribulation Ancestor, qualified to investigate the death of a Second Tribulation Ancestor.
So Lady Xin Thirteen was a bit confused about why Lin Mu asked this question.
Lin Mu didn’t explain, only said lightly, "Alright, I’ll take on this matter. In exchange for the Sea-suppressing Pearl, I will take the life of the Heavenly Square Queen!"
He glanced at Lady Xin Thirteen, "Additionally, within a hundred years, I’ll help you advance to the Fourth Tribulation..."
