Lin Mu had been observing the situation from the start, his expression calm yet tinged with surprise.
He hadn't expected such brazen behavior in a supposedly peaceful place like Ram Orchard City. When he saw the men attack Dou Qi and Doumen, his patience snapped.
Enough was enough.
"Who the hell are you?" Teng Yi growled, glaring at Lin Mu.
He couldn't sense any significant immortal qi fluctuations from Lin Mu, which made him appear weak. But the ease with which Lin Mu had intervened gave Teng Yi pause.
"Let her go," Lin Mu stated calmly, his voice firm.
"And who do you think you are to order me around? Do you even know who I am? I AM CHIJI OU!" the man roared, his spittle flying in rage.
Lin Mu's frown deepened as he gripped Chiji Ou's hand, which was clutching Dou Qi's arm, and pried it loose with minimal effort.
Chiji Ou's eyes widened in shock. It felt as though an immense force had been applied—like a crowbar splitting a paper-thin door. No matter how much he resisted, his grip broke instantly, and Dou Qi was freed.
The young woman looked at Lin Mu in disbelief, her eyes glistening with gratitude.
"You dare interfere!?" Teng Yi snarled, stepping forward. "Which clan are you from? State your affiliation!"
"I'm not from any clan," Lin Mu replied evenly.
"Unaffiliated?" Teng Yi sneered. "A mere itinerant cultivator dares to meddle with Young Master Chiji Ou? Laughable!" Confidence surged in Teng Yi's voice as he assumed Lin Mu had no backing.
Lin Mu simply raised an eyebrow at Teng Yi, his expression unreadable.
"What's your connection to this girl?" Chiji Ou asked, his tone turning derisive. "Is she your lover? Even if she is, hand her over. I've taken a liking to her. She'll be my bed warmer tonight."
"Never!"
A hoarse shout came from behind.
"The River Bending Axe Sect?!" Dou Qi and Doumen gasped in unison.
Doumen quickly stepped closer to Lin Mu, whispering urgently. "Sir, they're one of the ruling sects of the area. They're part of the City Council!"
Lin Mu's brows furrowed. He had read about the sect in the books at the shop—it was known as an orthodox sect with a reputation for maintaining peace.
'Why is one of their members acting like this?' Lin Mu wondered, his confusion deepening.
"Still acting smug, are you?" Teng Yi sneered. "We're giving you one last chance: hand over the girl, or suffer the consequences."
"No." Lin Mu's reply was curt and absolute.
"You'll regret this!" Chiji Ou bellowed, his aura flaring.
He lunged forward, conjuring another whip of water, but this time infused with more power. The whip crackled as it lashed toward Lin Mu, its force capable of splitting stone.
Lin Mu sidestepped effortlessly, his hand flicking upward to intercept the whip.
BOOM!
The whip shattered in a violent explosion of water. Chiji Ou stumbled back, clutching his wrist in pain, his confidence shaken.
"You! You dare! I'll kill you and feed you to the beasts!" Chiji Ou lost his composure and rushed towards Lin Mu.
This time he used both his hands, thick water whips extending from them and encircling Lin Mu.
Seeing them block his path, Lin Mu simply disappeared.
SPLAT
"Where did he go?" but instead of seeing Lin Mu get split in half, all Chiji Ou saw was his two whips colliding against each other.
"Have you lost your sense?" Lin Mu spoke from above. "Be civilized and leave this place." He stated firmly, his gaze sharpening.
"Humph! You dare order a disciple of the River Bending Axe Sect in OUR CITY!? We rule this place and I declare that you shall not live from today!" Chiji Ou declared with full confidence.
