Chapter 98: Murderous Intentions Under the Dark Tide

More than half a month later, Shen Mu's spaceship entered the Qianwu Secret Realm.

The spaceship slowly landed at the docking port, and many of Shen Mu's old friends were already waiting to greet them.

The leaders are the two brothers Hong and Lei Shen. In addition to these two brothers, old friends such as Teacher Hantian, Fenglun, and Paltrow are also present.

Wow!
The hatch of the spacecraft opened, and Shen Mu and Yu Lun flew out side by side.

"Big brother, second brother."

Shen Mu's figure flashed and appeared directly in front of Hong and Lei Shen.

Hong and Lei Shen are still the same as they were back then, but their aura has undergone a drastic change, and there are faint and powerful fluctuations of laws flowing around them.

Now, among the cosmic-level members in the entire Qianwu Secret Realm, Hong and Lei Shen can be ranked in the middle in terms of comprehension of the laws. After all, both of them are less than 300 years old, and they are among the youngest in the cosmic-level members of the entire Qianwu Secret Realm.

Hong smiled faintly and said, "The king should still be waiting for you. Go and pay your respects to him first, and then the three of us will meet up again."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and after a brief conversation, he followed Yu Lun to pay a visit to the King of Qianwu.

……

On top of the sacred mountain in the center of Qianwu Continent, stands an extremely majestic ancient palace.

As soon as Shen Mu entered the palace, he saw the King of Qianwu sitting on the throne. On both sides of the hall were the eighteen generals under the King of Qianwu.

"Disciple Shen Mu, hello to the teacher!"

"Disciple Yu Lun, I pay my respects to the Grandmaster!"

Yu Lun was somewhat excited. Although he was a disciple of King Qingtian, he had only met the King of Qianwu a few times over the long years.

"Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite."

The King of Qianwu gently raised his hand, and the invisible force of space surged, lifting up Shen Mu and Yu Lun.

Looking at Shen Mu, the Lord of Qianwu State admired him more and more, and couldn't help but say: "Back then, my expectation for you was only to win the first place in the genius competition. I didn't expect that in just two hundred years, you have achieved such an achievement. Your teacher is very pleased."

The achievement mentioned by the King of Qianwu is the inheritance of the Demonic Sound General.

Being able to reach this point means that Shen Mu’s talent in soul and will has reached a terrifying level. As long as he does not die in the future, he will surely become the Supreme Master of the Universe.

Compared with such a feat, the Universe-level and Domain-level Original Tongtian Mountain are nothing. Only the Realm-level Original Tongtian Mountain can be compared with Shen Mu's achievement.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Mu did not choose to break into the universe-level original Tongtian Mountain. His potential and talent have been proven, so there is no need to do this again.

Continuing to break into the Universe-level Original Tongtian Mountain would only earn him some false reputation and the 100 million points that only the Realm Master level could obtain. The consequence would be a series of changes, such as more frantic assassinations by alien races, etc. It was a sheer loss.

"My current achievements are inseparable from the guidance of my teacher." Shen Mu bowed slightly.

The Lord of Qianwu laughed, and then asked: "What arrangements and plans do you have for returning to Qianwu Universe this time?"

Shen Mu did not hide it and said directly: "After completing the mission of going out for training, I plan to return to Chaos City to practice in seclusion, and then directly break through to the realm master level."

The Lord of Qianwu State looked Shen Mu up and down and said, "You are not going to break into the original Tongtian Mountain at the Domain Lord level?"

A confident smile appeared on Shen Mu's face: "Before the end of the Domain Lord-level Chaos City retreat, I will be able to pass the Domain Lord-level Original Tongtian Mountain."

"Okay, okay, it's good to have confidence."

To pass through the original Tongtian Mountain of the domain lord level, one needs to possess the ability of the sixteenth level of Tongtian Bridge, which is equivalent to the attainment of the laws of the high-level marquis level.

Most of the realm master-level members in the primitive area are at this level, and without exception, these people have been practicing for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Shen Mu planned to break through the domain lord-level original Tongtian Mountain in a few hundred years, and the King of Qianwu could only say that it was a good thing to have confidence.

After the master and the disciple talked for a while, the King of Qianwu took out a token.

"Keep this token safe. If you encounter danger, just crush it. As long as you are within the range of Qianwu Universe, your master will be there in the first place."

This is a light silver token, engraved with a special pattern representing the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom.

"Thank you teacher."

Shen Mu put away the token and bowed to express his gratitude once again.

The Lord of Qianwu nodded slightly, and then said: "Go, we haven't seen each other for more than 200 years, go and catch up with your friends."

Shen Mu bowed and said yes, then took Yu Lun to say goodbye to the King of Qianwu.

……

That night, in the living area of ​​Qianwu Secret Realm, in a private room of a luxurious restaurant.

Shen Mu and Hong, Lei Shen and other old friends got together and had a great time at the banquet.

After the banquet was over, Hong and Lei Shen finally got to the point.

The first to speak was Lei Shen: "Amu, big brother wants to ask you something."

Shen Mu was slightly startled and looked at Hong. Could it be that love matter again?
Hong said, "Amu, you also know that before entering the Qianwu Secret Realm, I worshipped Luo Junzhu of Sanfu Mountain as my master."

"Some time ago, my teacher applied for a place for me in the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. As long as I pass the assessment, I can join the core layer of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

"But I plan to practice with Lei Zi and wait for the battle of cosmic masters four thousand years later. By then, the four of us brothers will join the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company together, which will be a good story."

Although Luo, the Lord of the Time Realm, is only a peripheral member of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena, he is a Realm Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior and possesses attainments in the laws of nature that are close to the level of a marquis.

In terms of real combat power, most of the realm masters in the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company are no match for this person. Of course, the biggest reason is that the Time Realm Master Luo is too old and has been practicing for more than nine million years.

If we only look at talent, Luo's talent is barely equivalent to the geniuses in the Secret Realm of Heaven and Earth of the Virtual Universe Company. If he had not been arrogant and taken the wrong path in his youth, he would have broken through to become an immortal god long ago.

Although Lord Luo is nearing his death, many people believe that he has a chance of becoming immortal before his death, so he has good connections in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena.

Shen Mu looked at Hong with some surprise: "Brother, how high is your attainment in the law now?"

The average level of the cosmic-level members of the Qianwu Secret Realm is around the first level of the Tongtian Bridge, and Hong is probably also at this level.

But judging from previous battles between cosmic-level warriors, without attainment of the third level of the Tongtian Bridge’s laws, there is no hope of joining the core layer of the peak forces.

Hong opened his mouth to explain: "Unlike the rules of the genius battle, the core level assessment has an age limit. I am less than 500 years old now. As long as I pass the most basic assessment, I will have the hope of joining the core level of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

Shen Mu suddenly understood what he said, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "If you can join the core layer, then there is no need to hesitate." "For us, it doesn't matter which peak force we join. The treatment is basically the same. If we join the core layer earlier, we can enjoy various resources and training earlier."

After saying that, Shen Mu changed the subject and said, "I will be attending a banquet in a while, my two brothers should come with me then."

The three giants of the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company sent emails early on, asking when Shen Mu would arrive in the Qianwu Universe Country, and preparing to hold a welcome banquet for Shen Mu.

However, Shen Mu has been ignoring these people without responding for some time, and now he can't delay any longer.

……

In the core area of ​​the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company, there is a magnificent palace.

"Fortunately, His Highness Shen Mu finally agreed to attend the welcoming banquet. It seems that the previous incident with the Fire Phoenix Organization was just a misunderstanding, not a show of force."

The one who spoke was Zi Dian Hou, who was in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, with a look of relief on his face.

Although the Fire Phoenix Organization was nothing in front of Marquis Zi Dian, after Shen Mu dealt with the Fire Phoenix Organization, Marquis Zi Dian immediately investigated and discovered that several of his immortal-level confidants did have some transactions with the Fire Phoenix Organization.

Although they were all normal transactions, they still shocked this powerful man who had reached the peak of the marquisate.

Jin Yuhou said, "We must leave a good impression on His Highness at this welcoming banquet. This is probably our last chance. Monkey, don't let us down here."

Zi Dian Hou nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Soon, invitation letters were sent out one after another, and soon all the major forces in the Qianwu Universe knew the news of the return of His Highness Shen Mu.

No matter how talented this prince is or what his status is within the Virtual Universe Company, just the fact that he is the king's personal disciple is enough to make them dare not neglect him.

Suddenly, the entire Qianwu Universe's top leadership became bustling with activity, but beneath this bustle, there was a hidden undercurrent of murderous intent.

……

In a corner of the territory of the Beiming Universe, there is a desolate space.

Hidden in the space layer of this space, there is an extremely huge kingdom of God.

This is a huge kingdom of God with a diameter of more than one light year. You should know that the kingdoms of God of most cosmic masters are not necessarily one light year in diameter.

This huge kingdom of God is the intelligence headquarters of the Zerg lurking among the human race. The real owner of the kingdom of God is an unlucky universe master who was enslaved by the Zerg.

After becoming a soul slave, the kingdom of God of this unfortunate Lord of the Universe was also contributed and became a place for the flow of information for countless Zerg spies within the human race.

At the core of the kingdom of God, a magnificent temple is suspended in the air, emitting dazzling light like a big sun.

There are 1008 side halls in this temple, and each side hall is responsible for the transmission of various information and intelligence of a human universe.

At this time, a man covered in a black robe, his figure turned into flowing light, was shuttling in the corridor of the temple.

A moment later, the man in black robe entered the side hall representing the intelligence department of Qianwu Universe.

In the palace, a man in a silver robe was sitting cross-legged on the throne, meditating with his eyes closed.

"Master!" The man in black robe knelt on the ground immediately.

The silver-robed man asked in an extremely cold voice: "What's the matter?"

"Intelligence has just been received from the Qianwu Universe. The number 1 on the assassination list, Shen Mu, the peerless genius of the human race, has been transferred to the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company to serve as a special supervisory envoy."

"No. 1?" The man in silver robe was startled, his face became serious, he stood up and looked at the man in black robe.

"Is the intelligence confirmed? It's only been over 200 years, and Shen Mu actually chose to break through to the realm master level and be sent out to the Qianwu Universe?"

"Yes, master!" said the man in black robe respectfully.

"Just one month later, the three giants of the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company will hold a welcoming banquet for No. 1 on Tianyue Star, one of the nine first-level administrative stars of Qianwu Universe, and have invited more than five hundred immortal gods!"

"hehe!"

The silver-robed man sneered and said, "The human race's way of training geniuses is still so crude. Such an evil genius actually dared to be sent to the Universe Country for training. Aren't you afraid that he will die young?"

Although this silver-robed man still looks human, his soul has been enslaved by the Zerg Queen and has become a spiritual Zerg. He usually calls himself a member of the Zerg.

"Continue to collect all the information about No.1, especially about this welcoming banquet, to see if there are any strong people from my Zerg on the invitation list!"

"If not, then spend money, build relationships, and use connections. In short, find a way to arrange it!"

"This is a great opportunity. Perhaps we only need to sacrifice a few ordinary immortals to kill No. 1. We must be cautious."

They lurk in the human territory, and their most important role is to collect information and assassinate human geniuses, and to kill those peerless geniuses who will pose a threat to the Zerg in the future!
Especially for beings with extremely high talents like Shen Mu, once they become immortal gods, they are almost all directly granted titles of nobility or king, and have the potential to make further progress in the future.

If it can be wiped out by losing only a few ordinary immortal-level hidden pieces, it can be said to be a huge profit.

Generally speaking, the higher the realm, the higher the priority of assassination. Shen Mu became the No. 1 on the assassination list at the cosmic level, which already reflects the importance that the alien race attaches to Shen Mu, and he can be regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

"Yes, Master!"

The man in black robe bowed to the ground again, and then hurried back to Qianwu Universe Kingdom to continue to gather information about the welcoming banquet.

After the man in black robe left, the man in silver robe set off immediately and rushed to the main hall in the center of the temple to report the information about Shen Mu to his master.

……

Six days later, Shen Mu's spaceship finally arrived at Tianyue Star.

In the most prosperous city at the core of Tianyue Star, there is a quiet manor that has just been built. It is the residence and office arranged by the three giants of the Qianwu branch of the Virtual Universe Company for Shen Mu.

At this moment, at the entrance of this manor, the three giants warmly welcomed Shen Mu who had just arrived.

Marquis Hei Yan said softly, "Your Highness, we have already arranged a welcoming banquet for you. It will be held in a month."

"The three hundred princes of Qianwu Universe and many powerful immortals will attend. If they want to admire your grace, I hope your grace will come in person to guide them."

"Thank you three for your kindness. Shen Mu feels unworthy for making such a big fuss." Shen Mu said with a smile.

An unusually friendly and enthusiastic smile appeared on Zidian Marquis's face: "It is an honor for those royal families to be invited. If Your Highness needs anything in the future, just tell them directly."

Shen Mu smiled and nodded, "If you need anything, I won't hesitate to help you."

Seeing Shen Mu's lack of interest, Jin Yuhou said with great insight, "Your Highness must have had a hard journey, so we won't disturb your rest. Someone will be specially assigned to welcome your Highness to the banquet in a month!"
