The Alchemist God

Chapter 148: Barbaric and cruel

“Set up their heads!” Li Qian Xun coldly said.

Instantly, the Rogues created pikes around the little town and then punctured the heads of the mercenaries onto the pikes, filling the entire town with the scent of blood.

Lin Mu Yu looked over the row of heads and his heart couldn’t help giving a shudder. Although he had been in this world for quite a long time and he grown used to this world’s cruelty, seeing a group of people that were living just a few seconds ago turn into cold corpses, those eyes were truly too terrifying.

At this moment, a white haired village head with a long beard was timidly led over by a few Rogues to Li Qian Xun’s group. He cupped his hand and said, “This old one is Zhen Li of this Blue Lake Town…..Sir, we…..we……”

“Shut up.”

Li Qian Xun’s cold voice cut him off and he asked, “How much pure iron do you have in your blacksmithing shop? Bring them all out for me, or else I won’t be polite.”

Zhen Li’s face turned pale, “Sir, your…..Your Swordsman Hall upholds righteousness and our the several thousand villagers of our Blue Lake Town depends on this pure iron to survive. We ask Sir to spare us…..”

“Stop talking!”

Li Qian Xun stepped down on Zhen Li and he raised his brows as he said, “Come, gather up all the young girls in this town for me, hurry!”

Lin Mu Yu quickly asked, “Sir Envoy, why are we gathering up all the girls in this town?”

Li Qian Xun lightly said, “In our Swordsman Hall, whether it is maids or servants, we all need young girls. We do not have enough money to buy it from the market, so we can only pick some from these villages.”

“But this is not a selection, but rather a barbaric invasion!”

“Lin Yan!”

Li Qian Xun’s eyes turned cold and he roared in a low voice, “Don’t forget your status. You are a Silver Ranger of our Swordsman Hall, you also need a woman like us. This is something we are doing for Swordsman Hall, what do you mean by obstructing this? Do you want to become an enemy of Swordsman Hall?”

Lin Mu Yu tightly gripped his fist and trace amounts of true qi appeared around his fist.

Luo Yu saw some clues and quickly cupped his hands and said, “Sir Envoy Li, Li Yan has cut down Nie Yan and has earned enough merits to become a Gold Ranger. I ask Sir to forgive him for his mistakes!”

Li Qian Xun gave a cold laugh and said, “Sir Lin Yan, I hope that you understand what you’re doing. You will soon become a Gold Ranger, so you shouldn’t say silly things like this. Gathering maids for Swordsman Hall is a tradition. If there are no beautiful girls as rewards, would people be willing to sacrifice themselves for Swordsman Hall?”

Lin Mu Yu was silent, but he continued to clench his fist. His veins were popping out, like he was about to go crazy at any moment.

Long Yan patted his shoulder from the side and said with a laugh, “Sir Lin Yan, when I still had dreams and regarded myself as righteousness, I travelled the world like this. However, I found that travelling needs money and women. We are all mortals and cannot escape death, so why don’t we enjoy ourselves?”

Luo Yu looked at Lin Mu Yu with a gaze telling him to endure it.

Lin Mu Yu slowly released his fist and gently said, “Envoy Li Qian Xun is right, I do not have any objections.”

“Ha, that’s right.”

Li Qian Xun gave a loud laugh, “This world respects the strong and whoever’s fist is stronger will get all the gold and women. Swordsman Hall can protect you, but you need to display your loyalty, understand?”

“Yes.”

Lin Mu Yu cupped his hand and mounted his horse. He stood to the side by himself, closing his eyes. His long brows slightly trembled, but it was like he could not see or hear anything.

The young woman’s cries came together. There were around two hundred young girls in Blue Lake Town and they were all chained up, being driven forward by the Rangers of Swordsman Hall. Lin Mu Yu finally realized that these shackles were not prepared for the mercenaries, but rather for the young girls. Li Qian Xun had not planned leave any witnesses out of the mercenaries from the beginning.

The horse slowly moved forward, while Lin Mu Yu’s heart filled with complicated feelings. He did not know whether his actions were right or wrong, but he had no other choices. Every step he took in the Fragmented Cauldron world dragged him down, sinking down, making him unable to be aloof. Just like Long Yan said, he was a mortal, not a god, he could not control the world.

The cry of a young girl sounded and Lin Mu Yu lifted his head into the sky. He couldn’t help letting out a sigh. He could not change anything by himself, so what could he do?

He looked at Li Quan Xun in front of him and he gripped his fists once again. He secretly pledged that he would personally kill this person in the future!

It was night time when they returned to the Swordsman Hall headquarters. The Great Envoy Ji Yang held a celebratory feast for everyone, but Lin Mu Yu did not have an appetite at all. Even when Luo Yu placed the Gold Ranger badge on his chest, he did not feel a thing, with his body going numb. There was the sounds of laughing from the Rangers and Rogues outside.

When the feast ended, he walked out of the headquarters and saw Wang Tian Xia in the distance. He could see that Wang Tian Xia was currently wearing a Silver Ranger badge. It seemed like it was because of the 1100 year old Silver Fox’s spirit stone that allowed him to jump to the Silver Ranger rank.

Wang Tian Xia recognized Lin Mu Yu and he quickly cupped his hands as he said, “Sir Lin Yan, you’re already a Gold Ranger…..”

Lin Mu Yu nodded, “Weren’t you also promoted to the Silver Ranger position?”

“Ha……”

Wang Tian Xia was a little embarrassed as he said, “Sir Lin Yan is very clear on why this little one was able to become a Silver Ranger, it was only a chance encounter. Sir became a Gold Ranger based on his own skills, all the executives of headquarters are all talking about how Sir killed Nie Yan…..”

Lin Mu Yu did not have the heart to chat, so he nodded and walked away.

At this moment, a heart rending cry of a young girl came from the room to the side. There was a group of women waiting outside and a bunch of Silver Rangers waiting with smiles, talking to one another, “Hei, the next one should be me. This little girl is quite beautiful. Hei, hei, hei, father really is lucky……”

Lin Mu Yu quickly walked over with a pale look, “What are you doing?”

A Silver Ranger cupped his fists and gave a smile, “It’s sir Lin Yan…..These are the spoils of war brought back from Blue Lake Town and our brothers are having fun with these unspoiled girls! If sir Lin Yan is interested, we can give you a beautiful one. How about it?”

Lin Mu Yu knit his brows and said, “No…..No need…..”

The Silver Ranger rubbed his chin and said with a smile, “Is sir certain? If so…..then I’ll just take your share. Many thanks for sir’s grace, hei, hei, hei……”

Lin Mu Yu felt pain from the bottom of his heart. That’s right, if he doesn’t take them, then these young girls would find it hard to escape their fate.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Then…..I’ll take three girls. Send them straight to my room!”

“Alright, I’ll have someone send them over. I’ll guarantee that they haven’t been touched yet.” The Silver Range had a look of flattering.

Lin Mu Yu was filled with disgust and he raised his sword as he left, but he still heard the pitiful cries from the young girls from the house. He quickly covered his ears and left this area.

“Lin Zhi, ah, Lin Zhi, how long can you stand this?”

He rebuked himself in his heart. He had no expressions on his face as he walked down the mountain and finally was unable to hear the cries of the young girls anymore. His legs went soft and he kneeled down by a rock. He knew that he was weak. Even if he did not kill Nie Yan, Li Qian Xun with his Heaven Realm power could destroy the Day After mercenaries. He was nothing more than a little pawn.

He was full of anger as he stood up and walked in front of a stone wall. Raising his hand, battle qi covered his fist and slammed into the rock wall, instantly sending rock chips flying. At the same time, a strong pain came from his fist. After all, he was still made of flesh and blood, how could he compete with the toughness of hard rock?

However, he did not stop as he continued to punch the stone wall, as if this was the only thing that could relieve the pain in his heart. Not long passed before his fists were covered in blood.

“That’s enough, Lin Yan.”

Suddenly a voice came from behind him. Lin Mu Yu could not help being stunned since the person had approached silently, not letting him discover him at all. He turned around and found that it was Luo Yu.

“Pada…..Pada……”

The blood from his fist continued to fall to the ground.

Luo Yu looked at his injuries and couldn’t help knitting his brows as he said, “Sir Lin Yan, when you enter Swordsman Hall, this is the pain you have to feel. I know this kind of pain because I have personally experienced it.”

Lin Mu Yu’s eyes filled with killing intent and his arms were surrounded with battle qi as he said, “Luo Yu, you are also an Envoy, why did you not stop Li Qian Xun?”

Luo Yu felt amazement in his heart. He could feel Lin Mu Yu’s anger and could tell that this Lin Yan in front of him was a Heaven Realm expert. He could talk care of him in a few moves and this was no joke, but he was not anxious at all. Luo Yu took a deep breath and said, “I am a commoner and Li Qian Xun is an aristocrat. He is one of the cousin of the Lord of the Sun Commerce City.”

“Is it his background and blood relations?” Lin Mu Yu coldly said.

Luo Yu gritted his teeth and said, “Sir Lin Yan, although you are in the Heaven Realm, I have to tell you that your strength is still below the Great Envoy Ji Yang’s. If you don’t want to die, then just submit.”

“Luo Yu, have you never thought of changing everything?”

Lin Mu Yu looked at Luo Yu with a gaze of disgust and disdain. He did not hide the fact that he looked down on Luo Yu.

Luo Yu gritted his teeth. Faced with Lin Mu Yu’s stare, it was like a knife through his heart. Since Lin Mu Yu joined the Swordsman Hall, he had respected this Lin Yan with an immeasurable strength. However, faced with Lin Mu Yu looking down on him, his heart felt very uncomfortable.

“My strength is not enough to change everything.”

After a long time, Luo Yu finally said this in a gentle voice.

Lin Mu Yu raised his arms and his battle qi turned into True Dragon Flames. His killing intent became stronger as he said, “Sir Luo Yu, tell me, will you help me keep the secret of my strength?”

Luo Yu revealed a look of pride and said, “Sir Lin Yan, what kind of person do you take me, Luo Yu for? If you don’t believe me, then kill me now.”

Lin Mu Yu was silent for a few seconds, then the battle qi surrounding his arm and his killing intent disappeared. With a smile, he said, “Sir Luo Yu, you are a good person. How could I dare to kill you…..”

Luo Yu revealed an understanding smile.
