Chapter 591 A Surprising Turn of Events

That night.

Young master, bad news, the trusted subordinate reported to Mu Shun with a frightened expression. He came back in the dead of the night, his face covered in blood.

Whats happened? Mu Shun frowned.

Our men have all been killed, that trusted subordinate lowered his head and answered.

Oh? Mu Shun was quite shocked by the news. Shes just a woman at the first stage of the Mortal Realm. Yet, you couldnt handle her. Could it be that the woman has some strong background?

Kneeling on one knee, the subordinate said, Thats not the case.

Then whats the matter? Mu Shun demanded.

The subordinate wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Then, he said, That woman is the head of the All-directional Star Bureau.

All-directional Star Bureau? Mu Shun had never heard of the title before.

Its a small courier business. Its not well-known. And for lack of good management and the joint suppression of its competitors, it is about to go bankrupt. There are not many masters in that bureau. We didnt have much trouble dealing with them

Then what was your problem? Why have we suffered such heavy casualties?

The members of the All-directional Star Bureau were no match for us at all. Just as we were about to capture that woman, a master from the inferior world suddenly barged in. He was powerful. And we were caught off guard. The subordinate said, I have investigated it thoroughly. That master is from Divine Land, and his surname is Guo.

Eh? Divine Land? Mu Shuns eyes instantly screwed up.

The Divine Land?

Isnt it the planet Li Mu the Wild Broadsword used to live on?

He is surnamed Guo?

Since that master was able to walk out of the inferior world, he must be someone who had amazed that world. Furthermore, his surname was Guo A name surfaced in Mu Shuns mind.

Guo Yuqing.

The sects in the universe had done a quite meticulous investigation on Li Mu. They had even looked into Li Mus connections on the Divine Land before Li Mu forced his way into the universe.

Guo Yuqing, one of his acquaintances, was also on the Closely-watched List.

Moreover, Guo Yuqing was also one of Li Mus strongest comrades who participated in the Battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin and caused great losses to the major sects in the universe.

Mu Shun came to realize that an opportunity had arrived.

If the person who appeared to rescue those from the All-directional Star Bureau was really Guo Yuqing, it would be great news.

As long as he caught Guo Yuqing, Li Mu would just have to come out of hiding, wouldnt he?

Guo Yuqing and Li Mu were sworn brothers. Given Li Mus temperament, once Guo Yuqing was in danger, he would never sit by and do nothing.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Mu Shun couldnt help but get perked up.

After hearing this trusted subordinates detailed account of the event, Mu Shun decided to go to the All-directional Star Bureau in person.

He was confident about his own strength. After all, Guo Yuqing was just a man from the inferior world, who was probably merely in the Worm Realm. Even though that man had powerful combat capability and had killed several disciples of the Tianyi Palace, he should not be a match for him.

As long as he caught Guo Yuqing, handed him to his master, and forced Li Mu out, that would be a great contribution. He could also catch the woman in white and say she was Li Mus accomplice, which would definitely cause his master to have a higher opinion of him.

In this way, not only could he stabilize his status in Star Wind City, but everything that he had lost before would be recovered.

He didnt want to waste any more time.

Mu Shun was full of ambition. After some preparations, he selected a few more trusted disciples to go to the All-directional Star Bureau.

At the All-directional Star Bureau.

It was said that the ancient house, which was located in the middle of Nanzhi Street in the south of Star Wind City, had a history of thousands of years.

Nanzhi Street was one of the major commercial streets in Star Wind City. Every inch of the street was rather costly. The ancient house where the All-directional Star Bureau was located also included two storefronts. The house occupied quite a large area. It was definitely one of the most golden areas on Nanzhi Street.

A long time ago, the All-directional Star Bureau was very famous in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. They provided delivery service for the entire region, and all kinds of people had to show some respect to them. It could be said that the All-directional Star Bureau was awe-inspiring at that time. But later, they made a horrible mistake in a major delivery and the losses were heavy. Soon, it started going downhills.

However, they managed to keep the piece of land where the bureau was located with great difficulty.

Zuo Qingqing was the current head of the bureau, who was extremely talented. At the age of 16, she had stepped in for her father, the former head, who had died of a serious illness. She had been struggling to keep the bureau. With the help of some of the members in the bureau, they managed to scrape by. No one knew how much pressure such a young girl had to bear.

Tonight, the bureau was attacked, and Zuo Qingqing herself was almost captured. Many of the people in the bureau were killed, and Older Liu and Younger Liu were injured as well. The entire All-directional Star Bureau was covered in indignation in the face of the storm.

Brother Guo, its all thanks to you this time. Zuo Qingqing had calmed down and thanked the burly bearded man next to her.

Older Liu and Younger Liu also looked at the man.

To everyones surprise, the person who saved them tonight was actually a low-level cultivator in the Worm Realm who joined the All-directional Star Bureau only half a month ago. It should be noted that the reason why the man surnamed Guo was admitted to the bureau that day was that the bureau really could not find any high-level masters willing to join them. So, they took in the man surnamed Guo who was at a loss on the side of the street.

Who would have thought that this Worm Realm cultivator would be so powerful?

Head, and you guys, youre welcome. If Head hadnt taken me in, I might still be begging for a living. As a member of the bureau, it is what I should do, said the bearded man with a modest air.

He was Guo Yuqing, Li Mus sworn brother.

After a pause, Guo Yuqing reminded, Those people seemed to have come at you tonight. Im afraid they wouldnt let go easily.

Zuo Qingqing nodded as well.

She was a little down and worried.

Because judging by the martial art methods of attackers, they were obviously from the Tianyi Palace, and their target was her indeed. She could not figure it out.

The decline of the All-directional Star Bureau had something to do with the suppression of some forces in Star Wind City. However, the Tianyi Palace had been high above the masses and rarely got involved in this kind of business competition. Why did they employ such wicked means to deal with her tonight?

A deep sense of worry rose in her heart.

Older Liu said, Sister Qing, you should go into hiding for a while. Lets leave the bureau and wait for what happens. If the other party

But before he finished his words, Guo Yuqing sensed something and altered his expression. He looked at the night sky in the north, shook his head, and said, Its too late. The other party is coming again!

The rasping sound of something zooming in the air was heard.

Like demons lurking in dark night, dozens of figures landed at different spots around the house of the All-directional Star Bureau, who seemed to have encircled it.

Kill. Except for the target, no one should be spared.

Mu Shuns cold voice rang through the sky.

The night had fallen. It was all pitch-dark.

Rumble!

A huge tremor came from the south of the Immortal Pavilion.

In the quiet room of the courtyard, Li Mu, who was running his Cultivation Method, noticed something. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound of explosion.

There are masters fighting!

Li Mu found it quite odd.

In the middle of the night, some people had made such a big racket in Star Wind City. The people in the fight were at least above the medium stage of the Mortal Realm. Powerful energy fluctuations distinctly swept across the night sky. Even the martial arts masters in a radius of hundreds of miles could feel the fluctuations.

The Star Wind City was run by stringent rules. When cultivators fought in the city, they were likely to destroy buildings and damage other things. The higher the strength, the greater the damage. Thus, such fights were against the law, and it was regarded as a provocation to the authority of the Star Alliance.

Once the cultivator who violated the law was captured by the law enforcement team, the punishment he or she would receive ranged from being sent to jail to being rid of the cultivation and executed.

And the on-going fierce battle was absolutely the kind forbidden by the law.

These thoughts flashed across Li Mus mind.

He wanted to continue to regulate his breathing and cultivate. But for some reason, His qi was in turmoil and he suddenly found it hard to calm down and concentrate. This kind of thing rarely happened before.

Eh? Am I seized by a whim?

Li Mu frowned.

When a cultivator practiced to a certain level, he or she could sense and capture the remote wisp of Qi that was related to him. That was the so-called a whim.

It meant that something that had something to do with him had occurred.

Moreover, since Li Mu felt such a strong whim and became so restless, it was highly likely that the event in question happened not far from him, probably right inside Star Wind City.

Thats weird. I have no relatives or friends in Star Wind City, nor do I know anyone here Li Mu was puzzled.

After thinking for a while, he got up and went out. He went to the next room and forced Ding Yi, who was sleeping soundly, to wake up with a few kicks. Then, he asked him to inquire about the fight.

When it came to collecting information, Ding Yis talent was absolutely unparalleled in the world. Li Mu had long been convinced that he was the best one to pry.

Ding Yi, who was awakened by the kicks, was so cross that his face turned livid. However, to get Li Mu off his back, he resigned and went out with a huge yawn.

In less than two hours, Ding Yi came back in a hurry.

Sect Master, something big really happened. Mu Shun of the Tianyi Palace took his men to besiege the All-directional Star Bureau. After a bloody fight, the All-directional Star Bureau was destroyed, and only the head of the bureau, Zuo Qingqing, and two of her subordinates managed to escape Ding Yi said.

What?!

Li Mu was dumbstruck.

The All-directional Star Bureau was destroyed?

He had just paid a gold-colored fairy crystal for the top VIP card of the All-directional Star Bureau. But before he could enjoy the VIP service, it was said that the All-directional Star Bureau had been destroyed by the Tianyi Palace. How could that be?

Li Mu did not know what to say at this time.

But thats not right.

The downfall of the All-directional Star Bureau and the loss of a gold-colored fairy crystal would not have caused Li Mu to be so restless that his meditation and cultivation were hindered. Was there any hidden reason for that?

Ding Yi did not know that Li Mu had bought a VIP card from the All-directional Star Bureau. Of course, this kind of stupid deed was not something that Sect Master would share with others.

Therefore, Ding Yi said gloatingly, Speaking of which, Zuo Qingqing should not be able to escape this time. As to Mu Shun, he was really out of luck. Only a few days ago, Second Senior Fellow Apprentice broke his legs. And tonight, surprisingly, a tough man named Guo Yuqing sprang out from the All-directional Star Bureau and broke his legs again. Guo Yuqing took Zuo Qingqing with him and escaped. Now, the law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace is so exasperated that theyve announced to the whole city that Zuo Qingqing and Guo Yuqing are wanted.

What?

Now Li Mu was taken aback.

Brother Guo?

How did he step into the universe and come to Star Wind City?

That tough guy could just be a man with the same name as his Brother Guo. Yet, in an instant, Li Mu was convinced that the Guo Yuqing mentioned by Ding Yi must be his sworn brother because their brotherhood had formed a kind of spiritual connection between the two.

Now was not the time to sit here and think about the cause and effect of this matter.

Brother Guo was in danger.

Li Mu realized that he couldnt keep hiding any longer.

The attack the Tianyi Palace had launched against the All-directional Star Bureau probably had something to do with Brother Guo. No matter how dangerous it was, Li Mu could not sit by and let it happen. He thought for a moment and said to Ding Yi, Continue to inquire about the incident, especially the information about that Guo Yuqing. It would be best if you could find out where they fled to If there is any news, contact me with the message token.

Then, Li Mu himself hurried back to the quiet room instead and made some preparations. Soon, he quietly left the Immortal Pavilion fully armed.
