Tycoon War God

At the moment Qi Xue wanted to make a move, he saw the faint smile at the corner of Lin Wudi’s mouth.

He shivered involuntarily.

To have achieved the status of Five Tribulations Overlord, Qi Xue had gone through countless hardships.

Now, with just one thought from Lin Wudi, everything he possessed would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

This was something he could not accept.

”Lin Wudi, do I have a chance to live?”

Qi Xue abandoned the idea of counterattacking and spoke seriously.

Lin Mu didn’t care about Qi Xue’s change in attitude and replied indifferently, ”That depends on how much you know.”

Qi Xue was silent for a while before speaking, ”In two months, there will be a Six-Tribulation practitioner leading an assassination squad to the Southern Spirit Divine Continent to hunt you down!”

”Oh?”

Lin Mu showed a bit of interest.

Seeing that his words had an effect, Qi Xue quickly continued, ”It’s Gu Luo Saint Lord. He sold you out to the organization. The organization ordered us to cooperate with the assassination squad’s actions! That’s how I got the information.”

This answer somewhat surprised Lin Mu.

When he was in Gu Yuan Ancient Land, he hadn’t revealed the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars. Why would Gu Luo Saint Lord betray him?

Why would Heaven’s Mandate Organization want to hunt him down?

”It seems there’s an issue with Ancestor Tianyuan’s corpse. Heaven’s Mandate Organization actually has the capability to detect the Nine Tripod Fragments’ power.”

Lin Mu held Heaven’s Mandate Organization in higher regard due to their abilities.

This organization very likely wasn’t established by people from the Heavenly Realm.

Knowing the name of Gathering Star Stone and able to detect the energy of Nine Tripod Fragments, this organization likely originates from the Immortal Realm!

”I wonder if this information is enough to spare my life?”

Qi Xue cautiously probed.

An organization that was obscure and almost devoid of any real power clearly wasn’t worth dying for.

”Not enough!”

Lin Mu’s tone was indifferent.

It’s merely an assassination squad. After obtaining the Gathering Star Stone, the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars can be used hundreds of times, even to kill a Six-Tribulation practitioner!

Qi Xue was stunned, and rage surged as he felt Lin Wudi was toying with him.

However, he quickly thought of the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars lodged in his own head!

This blade might even be capable of killing a Six-Tribulation practitioner!

The assassination squad might not necessarily be able to kill Lin Wudi!

Suppressing his anger, Qi Xue’s mind raced as he tried to think of life-saving information.

After the incense had burnt down, Qi Xue suddenly had a flash of insight and remembered something.

”Lin... Lord, there is something I don’t know if it can help you. A long time ago, Heaven’s Mandate Organization got hold of a message concerning the Nine Tripod Fragments! The message is absolutely true, but for some reason, they never found the Nine Tripod Fragments...”

What Qi Xue was talking about was the time when that lucky Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor obtained a clue about the Nine Tripod Fragments and ascended to the Eighth Tribulation.

This message was used by Heaven’s Mandate Organization to win people’s hearts.

But everyone in the organization knew the message was absolutely authentic.

Because back then, many members within the organization had witnessed that Eighth Tribulation Overlord accepting resources.

”Do you know the location of the Nine Tripod Fragments mentioned in the message?”

Lin Mu was taken aback, surprised by the unexpected delight.

”In the Forbidden Sand Sea of the Southern Spirit Divine Continent...”

Qi Xue dared not hide the truth.

Besides, there was no need to hide it.

From the time the message got out, a million years had passed!

That place had long ceased to be a secret, and any member within the organization was aware of it.

Many people even went to try their luck, hoping to find the Nine Tripod Fragments.

If this outdated information could save his life, it would be a win regardless.

Lin Mu didn’t continue the conversation, instead asking Du Le and Chen Xue beside him, ”Do you know about the Forbidden Sand Sea?”

”You want to go to the Forbidden Sand Sea?”

”Forbidden Sand Sea?”

Both Du Le and Chen Xue suddenly changed colors.

Seeing Lin Mu’s confusion, Du Le quickly explained, ”The Forbidden Sand Sea is a forbidden zone in the Southern Spirit Divine Continent, where countless Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors have fallen! Even Overlord-level practitioners fall every few decades! Over the last tens of thousands of years, very few practitioners have dared enter the Forbidden Sand Sea.”

Lin Mu pondered and asked, ”Since it’s so dangerous, yet people still go, there must be something special about it?”

”Within the Forbidden Sand Sea, there are Sand Sea Crystals. These crystals can refine Tribulation Thunder Thoughts and enhance one’s aptitude!”

This explanation was provided by Chen Xue.

The Forbidden Sand Sea holds a very special place in the Heavenly Realm.

It’s the only place in the Heavenly Realm where one can improve their aptitude.

An ordinary Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor with six or seven hundred Tribulation Thunder Thoughts would, upon obtaining a Sand Sea Crystal, be able to produce several hundred more Tribulation Thunder Thoughts.

Some even improved their aptitude from ordinary to Banished Immortal Aptitude using Sand Sea Crystals!

It’s imaginable how alluring the Forbidden Sand Sea is to Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors.

But the allure is immense; the danger is equally immense.

The Forbidden Sand Sea is full of Ghost Specters.

Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors who died in the Sand Sea linger on as Ghost Charms tied to the Ghost Specters.

These Ghost Charms, once they kill a hundred practitioners of the same realm, can reverse Yin Yang and resurrect, making them exceedingly frenzied.

Initially, when Ghost Charms were few, entering the Forbidden Sand Sea wasn’t that perilous.

The Forbidden Sand Sea had even been considered a treasure land in the Heavenly Realm.

However, as more Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors perished in the Sand Sea, the level of danger increased exponentially.

As Du Le said, in the last tens of thousands of years, almost no one dares to enter the Forbidden Sand Sea.

Lin Mu nodded in understanding, but stayed silent, having already decided to visit the Forbidden Sand Sea.

If he could obtain a Nine Tripod Fragment, along with the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars, he could even kill the Six-Tribulation Overlord!

He wouldn’t miss this kind of opportunity.

Qi Xue, seeing Lin Mu’s silence, grew extremely anxious.

Afraid Lin Mu would kill him out of dissatisfaction.

”Lord Chen Xue, he’s yours.”

Lin Mu flew away.

Qi Xue was first stunned, then angrily roared, ”Lin Wudi, you’re going back on your word! You’ll face dire consequences for such a breach!”

He felt incredibly furious.

Lin Mu had already agreed to trade with him and spare his life, yet now he’s sentencing him to die.

Noble Lin Wudi, to be so despicable!

Beside him, Chen Xue laughed and said, ”Qi Xue, I think you’re foolish! Lord Lin isn’t going to kill you; he’s just leaving you to me!”

Despite her smile, Lord Chen Xue’s tone grew colder and colder.

”Lord, I know my mistakes. I promise I will...”

”Shut up!”

Qi Xue tried to plead for mercy but was directly interrupted by Lord Chen Xue.

Lord Chen Xue was filled with rage, even the muscles on her face contorted aggressively.

”Qi Xue! We entered the sect together, as senior brother and sister for hundreds of thousands of years! But what you’ve done has left me cold!”

What Lord Chen Xue resented the most was Qi Xue running away with the Gathering Star Stone!

If it had incited Lin Wudi’s fury, the Holy Land of Flying Snow would no longer exist.

Everyone within the Holy Land would die as a consequence of Qi Xue’s betrayal!

At that time, Qi Xue taking the Gathering Star Stone was to leave everyone in Flying Snow Holy Land to die!

Luckily, Lin Wudi wasn’t as ruthless as the rumors suggest and didn’t kill.

But Qi Xue’s actions obliterated whatever brotherly bond Lord Chen Xue held.

”Die!”

Lord Chen Xue released Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to form a Snowflake Array Pattern, an icy aura instantly enveloping Qi Xue.

”No...”

Qi Xue released Tribulation Thunder Thoughts trying to resist, but his head was struck hard by Du Le’s Tribulation Thunder Thought.

Crack!

Qi Xue was frozen by Lord Chen Xue’s icy force, then shattered with a punch.
