Chapter 134 – The poor Falcon’s Nest

Chapter 134: The poor Falcon’s Nest

While Gong Xun was kneeling on the ground, his mind went blank. Although the First Luminary only contained 30% of its normal strength, he still could not block it. Desperately shaking his head, it took him at least ten seconds before he recovered. Looking up, he found that he was kneeling in front Wei Chou and the other Imperial Guards with a foot on his back, with no way of moving at all.

“Apologize.” Lin Mu Yu’s voice was very good, even seeming like he was holding back his anger.

Gong Xun gritted his teeth and tried to with all his might to stand up. He angrily roared, “Making father apologize to the son of a camp woman, other than me, Gong Xun dying, you’re dreaming. If you have skills, then kill me!”

Lin Mu Yu did not say anything. He lifted his prairie sword as he released his battle qi. Flames lingered on the blade as he placed it on Gong Xun’s neck. It was extremely hot as it instantly turned his skin black, giving him a kind of pain that a normal person could not endure.

Although Gong Xun was proud, he was just arrogant and did not have a true proud aura. He could not take pain at all as he screamed like a dying pig, “Lin Mu Yu, you scoundrel, what are you planning to do?”

“Apologize to Wei Chou.” Lin Mu Yu calmly said, “Tell him that you were wrong.”

“Sir……”

When Wei Chou saw Gong Xun kneeling in front of him, he felt a little scared. Gong Xun’s power and bloodline was above his and he was an Imperial Guard commander, so his rank was much higher than his.

“Apologize!” Lin Mu Yu loudly shouted. The battle qi in his hand grew stronger and the flames began to burn even more fiercely. If this continued, perhaps Gong Xun would not last another minute.

Enduring the pain, Gong Xun was lying on the ground. Using his hands to support himself, he slowly said, “Wei Chou…..I’m sorry! Gong Xun has made a mistake and have been unfair to you, so I apologize to you now!”

“Hua!”

The flame on the sword extinguished as Lin Mu Yu raised the sword and sheathed it. He took his foot off Gong Xun’s back and coldly said, “I hope you won’t make any other mistakes in the future. Wei Chou is my, Lin Mu Yu’s subordinate, someone like you is not worthy of disciplining him!”

“Yes……yes……” Gong Xun was not longer as arrogant as before as he kneeled there. After a few violent coughs, a little bit of blood splattered onto the floor.

In the corner, Xu Geng also began to cough as he struggled to stand up with a face covered in blood. He had suffered 50% of the Second Luminary’s might and not dying was already considered quite good.

All the Imperial Guards surrounding them had shocked faces because no one expected Lin Mu Yu to be this strong. Xu Geng and Gong Xun were both in the first Heaven Realm tier, yet he had taken care of both of them instantly. There was no one that had any idea of just how strong Lin Mu Yu really was. However this result was very simple. First, Lin Mu Yu had suddenly attacked and did not even give his enemies time to react and second, the might of the Seven Luminary Mystic Arts were too overbearing. Gong Xun and Xu Geng were equal to Lin Mu Yu in terms of battle qi intensity, but they knew more martial arts.

Although Gong Xun and Xu Geng knew many martial arts, they were only at the Spiritual Level. As for Lin Mu Yu’s Seven Luminary Mystic Arts, they were incredibly rare. Not to mention the Profound Level or the Sacred Level, even the Divine Level would not be enough to describe the Seven Luminary Mystic Arts. After all, the Seven Luminary Demon King had used these Seven Luminaries to kill countless Divine and Sacred level experts which Lin Mu Yu had witnessed. The strength of the Seven Luminary Mystic Arts was something people of this world could not understand.

“Wei Chou, let’s go report in?” Lin Mu Yu revealed a faint smile as he spoke.

Wei Chou also revealed a smile as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “Yes, sir!”

So, Lin Mu Yu led the ten Imperial Guards to the Falcon Nest’s main tent. Actually, the fighting had occurred less than a hundred meters away from the main tent, but Meng Fang turned a blind eye to it. Lin Mu Yu was not surprised by this anymore since this world respected the strong. Meng Fang wanted his men to work everything out for themselves and even if someone was killed, he did not have to take any responsibility.

“Hua la!”

Lifting the main tent entrance, he saw that Meng Fang was sitting inside while holding a cup of wine. There were two other Imperial Guard commanders inside who had the same rank as Lin Mu Yu.

“Have you finished teaching him a lesson?” Meng Fang had a faint smile, “It seems like Gong Xun wasn’t sir Lin Mu Yu’s match. Being able to survive the Heaven Connecting Tower, one would definitely not be an ordinary person.”

Lin Mu Yu revealed no expressions as he walked forward. Taking out the spirit stone bag, he shook it and the spirit stones fell out. Then he said, “Sir commander, this is the harvest from our trip. One 5700 year old Bloodthirsty Tiger’s flame attributed spirit stone, one 4200 year old Iron Back Flame Bear’s fire attributed stone, one 5200 year old Spotted Stone Wolf stone attributed spirit stone, one 6200 year old Golden Scaled Beast light attributed spirit stone, and one 4800 year old Golden Scaled Beast spirit stone. Please inspect them one by one.”

Meng Fang saw the various glowing spirit stones on the table and his eyes could not help lighting up. He gave a crisp laugh and said, “General Lin, I want to ask you a question. All these over 5000 year old spirit stones, how did you get them……Honestly, even if you are an expert at the first Heaven Realm tier, this…..Killing a 6200 year old Golden Scaled Beast should not be this simple, right?”

Lin Mu Yu pointed at his arm and said, “In order to kill the Golden Scaled Beast, my arm broke and Wei Chou and the others were seriously injured. Obtaining these spirit stones was not as easy as sir commander thinks it was…..”

“So it’s like this…….”

Meng Fang looked at him with a gaze of praise and said, “For the Falcon’s Nest to have an expert like sir Lin Mu Yu, this is simply a blessing to our Falcon’s Nest. This Meng will be honest, if it wasn’t for you being sent here, we would not have been able to complete this winter grand ceremony’s mission. Even if we sent out the entire Falcon’s Nest, it still would not have mattered.”

Lin Mu Yu gave a gentle laugh as he cupped his hands and said, “Since I’ve joined the Falcon’s Nest, of course I am a member of the Falcon’s Nest. The Falcon’s Nest reputation is already the same as mine, so naturally I cannot neglect this task.”

Meng Fang nodded with a smile, “It’s been hard on you. Come and have a drink.”

“Many thanks sir.”

Lin Mu Yu pushed back his battle dress and sat down on one side of the table. An imperial guard soldier poured some wine for him and Wei Chou and the other Imperial Guards stood behind him.

In the distance, an Imperial Guard commander pulled a rabbit leg from a cooked rabbit in a copper bowl and began to eat it with big bites. Oil dripped down into his beard as he bit into the rabbit meat and he said with a smile, “I’ve heard that Sir Lin Mu Yu has a close friendship with imperial guard commander Sir Feng Ji Xing and the Imperial Guard commander Sir Qin Lei. As well as the favour of her majesty Yin and Princess Tang. When you were banished to the Heaven Connecting tower, I heard that her majesty Yin and Princess Tang both pleaded for mercy for you. With these kinds of connections, why did sir Lin Mu Yu apply to join our Falcon’s Nest?”

He wiped his smooth talking mouth and said with a smile, “It wouldn’t even be much of a problem for you even if you applied to the Dragon Guards. Serving the most beautiful girl in the capital and the heir to the throne, her majesty Yin, wouldn’t that be better than coming to our Falcon’s Nest filled with uneducated people?”

Lin Mu Yu knit his brows because he did not know how to answer. After thinking for a bit, he said, “Perhaps it was because I thought being in the Falcon’s Nest would be more relaxing?”

Meng Fang gave a laugh, “Sir Lin Mu Yu is completely right. Our Falcon’s Nest is the furthest Imperial Guard army from the Ze Tian Palace and the furthest from the emperor, so we do not need to be trembling everyday. Although we have to patrol, collect intelligence, and do a variety of dangerous tasks, we are definitely the ones with the most freedom.”

Lin Mu Yu nodded, “Sir head commander is completely right.”

When that bearded general wanted to continue talking, Meng Fang interrupted him and said, “Sir Xiahou Sang, Lin Mu Yu has just come back from his patrol and has been injured, so stop asking all your nonsense questions. If you really want to ask, then do it later.”

Xiahou Sang was stunned and he cupped his fists as he said, “Yes, sir head commander!”

Not long passed and complying with Meng Fang’s orders, Gong Xun and Xu Geng entered into the main tent. Gong Xun had a gauze wrapped around his neck and Xu Geng’s arm was hanging down on one side. It seemed like that fierce attack had hurt his arm.

Seeing Gong Xun and Xu Geng’s appearance, Xiahou Sang burst into laughter. He held a cup of wine as he revealed a teasing smile and said, “Yo, how did the two generals from the God Marquis Palace become like this? Perhaps…..you’ve met a Sacred Realm expert like Flame Cauldron Qu Chu? Otherwise, who would be strong enough in this Falcon’s Nest to beat sir Gong Xun like this?”

Gong Xun’s face turned red and he said, “Xiahou Sang, just drink your wine and stop talking too much!”

Xiahou Sang broke out in laughter.

Lin Mu Yu looked over at him. He secretly thought that Xiahou Sang’s mouth was quite vicious, but hearing him taunt Gong Xun and Xu Geng like this, he felt quite satisfied. This was the fate villains deserved.

After drinking and eating until he was full, he led Wei Chou and the others out of the main tent.

“Sir, our assigned barracks are to the south of the Falcon’s Nest.” Wei Chou respectfully said.

“Un.”

“But they just set up the tent today.” Wei Chou added in with a cautious look on his face because he was afraid of Lin Mu Yu being angry. After all, Lin Mu Yu was the number one hero of the Falcon’s Nest and if he didn’t like the shabby tent, then it would be bad for everyone.

It was a good thing that Lin Mu Yu did not care about any of this. He smiled and said, “It’s ok. It’s fine as long as it can block the rain and wind.”

“Yes!”

Arriving at their barracks, they saw that it really was simple. The tent assigned to Lin Mu Yu, the Imperial Guard commander was a simple white tent. Although it was enough to keep rain out, it was hard for it to keep wind out. There was a simple bed inside that was filled with dry hay.

Lin Mu Yu was stunned when he saw this. God damn, this Falcon’s Nest was really too poor, poor to the point that it seemed exaggerated!

“Sir, you…..are you dissatisfied?” Wei Chou felt like this was somewhat intolerable.

When Lin Mu Yu looked outside, he saw that the tents for Wei Chou and the others were even more simple. It was just a hay shack leaning against a tree with cold wind blowing in from all around it, making it seem even worse to spend a night in.

Knitting his brows, Lin Mu Yu said, “Let’s all just endure this for a night. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the capital to buy materials and we’ll use that to build our barracks.”

“Yes, sir!”

Wei Chou revealed a look of joy.
