Tycoon War God

Bang!

A thunderous explosion echoed through the streets of Flowing Sand City.

A scarlet mushroom cloud rose.

The defensive formations of over a dozen shops on the street emitted light amid the explosion, and many shopkeepers cursed loudly.

”Who dares to stop me!”

The shopkeeper who had previously wanted to kill the child was furious and angrily looked ahead.

Three figures stood in the void ahead.

The white-clad youth leading them looked indifferently toward this side.

”Uncle, save me...”

The eleven or twelve-year-old child smartly zipped up to the sky, running to the white-clad youth, hoping to curry favor.

The white-clad youth gave him an amused glance which made him shiver and dare not approach any further.

The shopkeeper looked displeased and shouted, ”Is this little rascal your nephew? He stole something from my shop, so you tell me how to handle it!”

The newcomers were Lin Mu, Mu Gui, and Liu Yuan.

The three were about to head to the Level Seven Ghost Yasha here, and neither Mu Gui nor Liu Yuan expected Lin Mu to suddenly intervene and save a child.

”How much did he steal from you? I can compensate tenfold,” Lin Mu said calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, both the shopkeeper and the child’s eyes lit up, as if they saw a pair of golden thighs.

”Uncle, you actually don’t need to compensate him; you’re a Tribulation Transcender, he wouldn’t dare trouble you!”

The child seemed clever, with a cute look as if he was considering Lin Mu’s best interests.

The shopkeeper was about to speak when Lin Mu calmly said, ”If I were you, I’d think carefully before speaking, lest you lose your life.”

The shopkeeper’s body trembled, his face pale.

He stole a glance at the lightning on Lin Mu’s body, realizing that this was indeed a Tribulation Transcender, his greed had to be suppressed.

Even though his backer was a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor from the Personal Guard Squad, it’s best not to offend such a lone Tribulation Transcender.

The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors in the Stone Gate Realm have mostly joined the Ten Kings’ Personal Guard Squad.

Such lone rangers must have something to rely on.

Offending such people leads to no good outcome.

”Well... he stole a Thunder Pulp Fruit from me, valued at two Sand Sea Crystals!”

The shopkeeper didn’t dare exaggerate or take advantage, he spoke the truth.

”I didn’t, Uncle, don’t believe him... ouch...”

The child put his hands on his hips, he had just shouted, when Lin Mu flicked his forehead, causing him to cover his head in pain, tears nearly welled up.

Lin Mu casually tossed over twenty Sand Sea Crystals.

The shopkeeper received the Sand Sea Crystals and thought to himself that such lone rangers were truly extraordinary.

Over twenty Sand Sea Crystals, just thrown away for a child they don’t even know.

”Thank you, senior!”

The shopkeeper bowed and walked away reluctantly.

The shopowners with defensive formations under attack saw this scene and wanted to take advantage of it, but seeing the lightning around Lin Mu, they had to abandon the thought.

These days, it’s not wise to provoke a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor.

”Hehe, thank you, uncle, for your righteous help. Well then, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave... the green hills stay, the waters flow, we’ll meet again...”

The child, acting grown-up, bowed and turned to run.

But after straining his legs for a while, he found he hadn’t moved.

”Uncle, what do you mean by this?”

The child grinned foolishly, feigning innocence as he looked at Lin Mu.

Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were also puzzled; Lin Mu had been busy with matters about the Ghost Specters for half a month, why suddenly interested in meddling today?

”Who are your parents?”

Lin Mu didn’t explain to the two, he just watched the child.

The child’s eyes darted around, about to speak nonsense.

Smack!

His forehead was again flicked lightly.

This time, it painfully made the child’s eyes water, a bump swelling on his forehead.

Mu Gui and Liu Yuan both twitched at the corner of their lips.

They thought Lin Wudi truly had a wicked sense of humor, bullying a child.

”Ah ah, murder! A Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor is bullying a child...”

The child, who had been calling ”uncle” constantly, promptly turned hostile and shouted that Lin Mu was going to kill him.

Lin Mu didn’t get angry, he just looked amused at the child desperately adding drama.

After crying and shouting for a while, the child realized nobody dared to help him.

Really, when that shopkeeper wanted to kill him earlier, no one stepped in to stop it.

Now with this Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor, even fewer would want to interfere.

The bitterness in the child’s heart was indescribable, feeling like he’d just escaped the wolf’s den only to fall into the tiger’s mouth.

”Just kill me!”

The child closed his eyes, adopting an unyielding stance.

Lin Mu smiled calmly, ”Rest assured, I mean you no harm, I simply want to know where the jade pendant around your neck comes from...”

”You can’t steal it! Otherwise... otherwise I’ll fight you!”

The child who had been fretting endlessly and acting grown-up was genuinely anxious this time.

Holding his chest with one hand, he launched a conceptual realm attack at Lin Mu with the other hand.

As imagined, his conceptual realm attack hit Lin Mu like a tickle.

It was even less effective than tickling.

”Eh?”

”Divinity Transformation Stage?”

Mu Gui and Liu Yuan finally sensed something unusual.

This child was actually at the Divinity Transformation Stage.

It’s known that the Stone Gate Realm imposes great suppression.

Even those at the Integration Path Boundary are suppressed to only exhibit a tenth of their strength.

Logically, a Divinity Transformation Stage would be directly crushed, how was this child still alive and kicking?

”No way! Your bone age!”

Mu Gui reached out and pinched the child’s body a few times.

The child tried to evade, but couldn’t.

”Truly an eleven-year-old child, how can it be! How did you survive!”

Mu Gui looked astonished at the child before him.

Initially assuming the child was an adult who cultivated some unique cultivation technique, as they’d traveled through four or five cities without seeing a single child.

Unexpectedly, this was indeed a child of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Mu Gui finally understood why Lin Wudi saved this child.

This child was practically a miracle in the Stone Gate Realm.

”Believe me, I really mean no harm, if I wanted to harm you, I’d not resort to these means...”

Lin Mu pointed towards the direction outside the city, releasing a thousand Second-stage Tribulation Thoughts that pierced the sky.

Boom!

A sand dune several hundred feet wide vanished instantly.

The child stared wide-eyed in shock, ”You... you’re a Second Thunder Tribulation!”

In the Stone Gate Realm, there were many First Thunder Tribulation Ancestors, but Second Thunder Tribulation was quite rare.

They’re typically figures like City Lords or Deputy City Lords.

The child didn’t expect to randomly encounter someone this powerful.

”You truly don’t intend to harm me?”

The child hesitated, cautiously inquired.

Lin Mu grinned.

The child glanced at the vanished sand dune outside the city, then at the Second-stage Tribulation Thoughts flying back, he hesitated and said, ”This jade pendant was given to me by my mother... she said only by wearing this jade pendant can I survive...”

His expression was obviously puzzled when he said this.

Clearly, he didn’t understand what the words meant, simply following his mother’s instructions.

”Take me to see your mother.”

Lin Mu said calmly.

Being able to create magic artifacts usable in the Forbidden Sand Sea, this child’s mother was not ordinary.

If he could obtain her artifact refining techniques, perhaps he could unseal the Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars!
