"You are really miserable as an emperor." Li Mu said with a smile.
In the prison-like room, Si Hong was bound tightly by several thick chains, his body covered with horrible scars, which showed that he had been tortured a lot in recent times.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, senior." Si Hong smiled bitterly.
"Put him down." Li Mu said to Chen Xian.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xian walked over and grabbed the chain, then broke it in two with a pull of both hands, and then carefully took the chain off.
Then he smiled at Si Hong and said, "Brother, I am also your savior. You must remember my kindness and take good care of me in the future in Daxia." Chen Xian's old habit of finding brothers everywhere came back again.
"Of course, thank you very much, this... uh... little brother." After saying the word "little brother", Si Hong's face looked a little unnatural. After all, as the ruler of a country, he had never addressed a young man like that.
"Haha~, you are indeed a good brother. By the way, my name is Chen Xian, and I am a disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect." Chen Xian laughed heartily.
At this time, Professor Wu was worried that Li Mu would kill him, so he asked Li Mu carefully: "Sir, do you have any other instructions? I will go through fire and water and die without hesitation."
After hearing what Professor Wu said, Si Hong remembered the important matter and said to Li Mu: "Senior, our Great Xia is in danger. The people of the Sunset Legion have occupied the Xia Palace and seized control of the government. Now only you can save our Great Xia!"
Li Mu nodded and said softly: "I will take care of this matter."
After a pause, he turned to Professor Wu and asked, "How much do you know about the Sunset Legion?"
Professor Wu looked bitter: "First... Senior, I am just a small figure in the army, and I don't know much information..."
"Haha, do you think you still have a way out? Tell me everything you know now!" Li Mu said coldly.
Professor Wu was shocked when he heard this. Yes, he had already fallen into this situation. What choice did he have? With a helpless sigh, Professor Wu told him what he knew.
The Sunset Legion is an organization of superpowers that was founded a month ago. Its leader is Ning Yan. Ning Yan has ten generals under him to expand its territory. Their goal is very clear, which is to use all resources in the occupied areas to obtain death crystals, so as to enhance their strength. The death crystal factories in various places are one of their main sources of death crystals. Every time they occupy an area, they will build a death crystal factory in that area.
The Death Crystal Factory where Li Mu and his team are now is the first Death Crystal Factory of the Sunset Legion in Daxia. It is under the command of a general named Huang Cheng. It was built 7 days ago after Huang Cheng took control of Kyoto. Since the Death Crystal Factory needs to cultivate the newly converted Killers for a period of time in order to obtain the Death Crystals, the first batch of Death Crystals has not been taken out so far.
Although Huang Cheng has secretly taken control of the Xia Palace, his target is not just Kyoto, but the entire Daxia. At least so far, the decrees issued by Kyoto are still listened to by some people. If Kyoto is in chaos, then the forces in other places will have no worries and will become independent in a minute, which will bring many inconveniences to the subsequent actions of the Doomsday Legion.
Therefore, in order to keep the factory running without alarming the common people, Huang Cheng issued many harsh decrees in the name of the Xia Palace. Anyone who violated the decrees, whether ordinary people or officials, would be arrested. Although the common people were dissatisfied with these decrees, now was a special period, so they naturally needed special treatment. Moreover, since the people and officials were guilty of the same crime, this made everyone feel very fair, so no one complained.
After listening to Professor Wu's statement, Li Mu frowned: "That's all?"
Professor Wu hurriedly said in fear and trepidation: "Senior, I swear, I have told you everything I know. I have only been in the Sunset Legion for less than half a month, and I have no access to core affairs!"
"You're talking nonsense. You've reached level 7 after such a short time as a member? This is such a good thing that I'm planning to change my allegiance!" Meow Xiaobai couldn't help but complain when he heard this, accidentally revealing his true thoughts.
Li Mu glanced at Miao Xiaobai lightly, and Miao Xiaobai quickly shut his mouth.
Although Professor Wu was surprised that the cat could speak, now was not the time to think about it, so he quickly explained, "I was already at level 5 before I joined the Sunset Legion, and they recruited me as a skilled talent, so I was rewarded with a level-up in strength."
"Tell me in detail, how did they promote you?" Li Mu said lightly.
"By injecting super-powered enhancers, each new member will be rewarded with a tube of enhancers by the legion based on their own abilities and qualities. However, this enhancer only has a one-time effect on improving strength. By the way, I have another dose of this potion on me. General Huang gave it to me and asked me to give it to a new member, but I haven't had time yet." Professor Wu said as he took out a tube of liquid from his arms.
Li Mu took the enhancer, punched in and observed carefully. After a long time, Li Mu showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
At this moment, Miao Xiaobai looked expectant and said timidly, "Big brother, you will give it to me, right?"
“Haha, sure. But if you inject this, your strength will improve quickly, but no matter how high you evolve to in the future, you will eventually become someone else’s tool.” Li Mu said with a smile.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Professor Wu asked in surprise.
"This is not something you should worry about." Li Mu said as he cut off his head with a sword. Li Mu never intended to let any of the people from the Dead Crystal Factory go.
"Did you see it?" Li Mu said to Miao Xiaobai.
Miao Xiaobai nodded timidly and said to Li Mu: "Big brother, I was wrong. I will never dare to have such rebellious thoughts again."
Li Mu shook his head helplessly. Miao Xiaobai thought he was trying to scare it. In fact, when Professor Wu's vitality dissipated, the super power factor in his body also disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed.
This is Ning Yan's method. No matter whether it is the Slaughterer or his own men, they will eventually become his nourishment. If the people of the Sunset Legion continue to develop like this, Li Mu can hardly imagine what kind of achievements Ning Yan will eventually achieve. It is possible that all the super power factors will be gathered in him. By then, I am afraid that even he at his peak will not be a match for Ning Yan.
Therefore, Li Mu of the Sunset Legion must be eliminated, and he must not leave such a huge hidden danger for himself.
"I'll leave this to you two. Si Hong, follow me into the Xia Palace." Li Mu said to them.
Miao Xiaobai was the first to nod and said loudly: "I promise to complete the task!"
How many dead crystals would it take to build such a big factory? Thinking of this, Miao Xiaobai couldn't help but drool.
