Golden streaks of light raced across the sky.
Such a high-profile flight was not allowed in the Dasheng territory, but due to the aura emanating from the brand-new Tiger Tally at his waist, none of the Nine Luminaries Division drivers checking the sky launched an attack on Ye Li.
As a subordinate general, he should have the right to fly over the territory.
"Is your Family Head hosting the dinner?"
Ye Li withdrew his gaze and asked casually.
I left in such a hurry that I didn't get to know many details, and I haven't even figured out why I should take action yet.
The plan is progressing far too quickly.
It doesn't matter.
Once I personally arrive at the Mu family's residence, I believe there will be solutions to any problems.
"This is our Family Head; you should have heard of him. He is a half-step Dao Evolution Realm cultivator!"
Mu Zhan's reply carried a hint of pride, and even his previously trembling body regained its composure:
"Looking across the entire Longtan Grand Commandery, the only one who could reliably defeat him is probably Prefect Lin of the Nine Luminaries Division."
"His personal hosting of this banquet is a testament to how highly he regards you and the Prefect!"
"That's quite thoughtful." Ye Li nodded almost imperceptibly, then asked:
"I heard that you have a concubine in your family who Ninth Rank the Great Void Realm, and her name is something like... Mu Zhaorong? Where is she now?"
You mean Aunt Rong, right?
Mu Zhan was taken aback at first, but then he realized that the lieutenant in front of him was also a saint with extraordinary cultivation, so it was not surprising that the two knew each other.
He was relieved and replied with a smile:
"You've got a lucky break. Aunt Rong is one of the most elusive elders I remember. You might see her at home one day, but the next day you might hear that she's participating in a hunt in another major prefecture!"
"If the general knows her, he should be familiar with this situation."
"But don't worry, I just saw her at home today, and she'll most likely be at the banquet."
"Then I'm relieved..." Ye Li breathed a sigh of relief, increasingly looking forward to the upcoming trip.
First of all, taking direct action is definitely not advisable.
Even in the Divine Continent, there are Treasured Artifacts that reflect past deeds. Without sufficient evidence of his crimes, even if he is now a subordinate general of the Dragon Pool, he cannot recklessly confiscate property and exterminate entire families.
That's what they say, and that's the logic behind it.
It's come to this.
Preventing him from taking action is simply impossible.
"We'll have to operate on multiple fronts now."
Ye Li sighed inwardly, then quietly touched the Nine Luminaries Token at his waist and sent messages to his four colleagues who were on vacation.
Although Retainer General cannot destroy Mountain Gate out of thin air.
However, if it's just a matter of having Chen Chuan and the other three quickly organize and summarize the relevant information about the Taicang Mu Family at the archives department under the guise of being subordinate officers, and then hand it over to him, then there would be no problem at all.
For teenagers.
Once you have the relevant documents, the rest of the process will be straightforward.
I need the archives of the Taicang Mu Family, and I need them quickly.
[Clear!]
Feeling the crisp response from the Token, Ye Li's initially agitated mood gradually calmed down.
Then he turned his gaze back to what was ahead.
"The scale is astonishing."
Looking at the ancient buildings gradually coming into view, he made a comment that seemed to be a compliment.
At the same time, my mood gradually improved, and I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment, as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through.
After traversing the vast Star Sea and painstakingly slaying two Great Demons at the Great Void Realm... it was only under the influence of multiple factors that I finally arrived at this power I had longed for!
"You're joking." Mu Zhan thought the other party was impressed by the scale of the Mu family headquarters, and couldn't help but laugh as well.
They really haven't seen the world.
The Mu family is, after all, one of the most prestigious families in Longtan Grand Commandery. Does this junior general really think he's a distinguished guest invited by the Mu family?
Without Lin Huaijin behind them, and the Mu family with a half-step Dao Evolution Realm expert at their back, how could they have made such a grand display?
Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
Mu Zhan, busy with all the work, could naturally see that his Family Head was merely trying to use this lieutenant's identity to carry out all the clandestine operations.
As for the respect shown at the moment?
But it was all just for show.
Below, stretching for hundreds of miles, the buildings were lit up with welcoming lights, resembling a ferocious beast with its gaping maw revealing its fangs.
Lofty mountains and towering peaks, with evergreen pines and cypresses.
Outside the main gate of the Taicang Mu Family's residence.
Two figures were waiting here under the watchful eyes of everyone, their brows and eyes filled with a heavy aura of sainthood, clearly both being the best in the Great Void Realm.
Everyone here at this moment, regardless of their purpose, demonstrates how seriously they take this matter.
Behind them.
Many of the dozens of direct descendants of the Mu family could not hide their excitement. For most of them who were not yet saints, the arrival of a deputy commander of a prefecture was indeed a great figure.
Meanwhile, further back in the main family compound, thousands of Mu family members were busy preparing for the evening banquet, constantly arranging for an even larger number of servants.
The atmosphere in the Mu family home gradually became lively.
Mu Fusheng ignored all of this, simply standing with his hands behind his back, and softly asked Mu Zhaorong beside him:
"Is the evidence ready?"
"Don't worry." Mu Zhaorong placed her hands on her lower abdomen, her hair ornaments gleaming in the sunlight. "I've managed to sway the minds of even Emperor Jingtai's closest attendants; their testimonies alone are unlikely to be wrong."
"As for the evidence, you've examined it so many times already, aren't you sure yet?"
"It's always better to be careful." Mu Fusheng gazed ahead, his eyes deep in thought.
He suddenly spoke after a moment:
"They've arrived."
In his vision, a dazzling and powerful golden streak of light pierced through the clouds and approached this place at an extremely fast speed!
Mu Zhaorong quickly composed herself, her delicate features revealing a bright smile.
Her thorough preparation gave her absolute confidence in the plan.
Even if the prefect himself came, he would never be able to see through this meticulous plan that is precise down to every single step!
However, after seeing the person's face clearly...
Her bright smile suddenly froze on her face.
Instead, he wore an expression of extreme shock and even blankness, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. "You...!!"
Mu Fusheng, standing to the side, also frowned slightly.
There's no other reason than that Mu Zhaorong's performance was far too over the top. Even if it was because of the visitor's excessively youthful appearance, such a rude reaction was still inappropriate!
But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no choice but to release it.
Fortunately, the young man didn't seem to care too much about Mu Zhaorong's out-of-control expression, and continued to look at him calmly.
"The Family Head, is that right?"
"Indeed." Mu Fusheng a barely perceptible sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his stern face as he politely cupped his hands in greeting.
"I have long heard of the General's recent heroic deeds and have always admired him. To see him today, I can confirm that he is truly an exceptional man!"
"I am Mu Fusheng. May I ask your name, General?"
As he spoke, he subtly observed the other person's behavior, not missing even the slightest change.
Arriving at the powerful Mu family for the first time, and being treated like this as a saint, it would be understandable that he would show some restraint.
But he couldn't see any unease or tension in the young general's eyes.
On the contrary, upon seeing the formation he had just displayed, a hint of surprise instinctively appeared in his jet-black eyes.
What is this celebration about?
Just as a hint of doubt arose in Mu Fusheng's heart, he saw that the slight surprise was well contained.
Immediately afterwards.
Without any domineering tone or revealing any aura, the young man's thin lips parted slightly, and his slightly mocking voice boomed like thunder in the ears of the Mu Family Head, sending chills down his spine:
My name is Ye Li.
"Does Mu Family Head recall?"
