Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Lin Mu, who had captured Henan Yin and was causing trouble in the rear area of ​​Hangu Pass, also received the most detailed first-hand report on the situation of Zuo Rong and Liu Bei.

"I never imagined that Liu Bei would plunder so many resources and wealth from the Buddhist Kingdom," Lin Mu remarked after reading the report in the temporary camp.

In fact, the richest one was the deceased Buddha.

Even the other two Buddhas were envious of his legacy... Liu Bei also benefited from it.

According to the report, there were more than ten divine-grade weapons, and over a thousand heavenly and earthly-grade weapons... There were also hundreds of thousands of sets of Buddhist weapon armor. As for currency, at least several hundred million gold coins were looted... It's terrifying.

There are also many other Buddhist artifacts, specialties from Buddhist countries, and so on.

Ninth-tier rare wood comes in units of millions; other lower-tier rare woods are even more numerous, reaching tens of millions...

While the availability of ores is slightly less, the quantity is still substantial, with many mines already occupied and players frantically mining them...

Surprisingly, there were quite a few items such as General Promotion Orders and Buddhist martial arts manuals...

"Let's first go and buy up some special products from the Buddhist Kingdom and items like general promotion tokens... to lower their guard, and when the time is right, we'll just snatch all the fruits!" Lin Mu said quietly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

With the Great Wilderness territory he had planned ahead of time, Zuo Rong had a chance to seize the spoils of war, whether he contacted Liu Bei or Cao Cao!
"My lord, do we really agree to live in peace with Lü Bu for three years?" Cui Wu, who came to report on his work, asked in a low voice.

It turns out that their cause of trouble behind Hangu Pass was to fulfill their contract with Lü Bu.

Lu Bu sent someone to discuss the matter with Lin Mu, and they secretly reached an agreement before signing a covenant between heaven and earth.

“That’s right. Hangu Pass is ours. After this, neither side should fight each other again.” Lin Mu nodded.

"My lord, isn't three years a bit too long?" Cui Wu asked, frowning.

“Hehe… Three years and ten years, actually, make no difference… This situation in Chang’an is not so easy to break… I have a feeling that even Lü Bu cannot control the situation… At that time, it will not be the Bingzhou Army that controls Hongnong County… The contract I signed clearly stipulates that the parties involved are my side and the Bingzhou Army… It has nothing to do with the Xiliang Army.” Lin Mu said meaningfully.

"I see!" Cui Wu exclaimed in realization.

This contract had no binding force on the Great Wilderness Territory from the very beginning!

Lin Mu knew that after Lü Bu and Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo, they were unable to hold Chang'an and were driven out by the Xiliang army. Afterwards, Lü Bu went south to look for an opportunity and left Sili.

"My lord! My lord!!" Just then, a messenger at the Earth Rank General level rushed in.

"Latest intelligence from Chang'an: Chancellor Dong Zhuo will be holding a grand wedding banquet in a month."

"Dong Zhuo wants to marry Diao Chan!!" the messenger reported quickly.

"Oh... the final struggle has begun!" Lin Mu smiled slightly upon hearing this.

A month earlier than planned, but acceptable. Currently, the Great Wilderness territory isn't bogged down by any missions, allowing for full focus on the campaign to eliminate Dong Zhuo!
"If I'm not mistaken, Lü Bu is about to leave..." Huang Zhong said quietly after a long silence.

Diao Chan is about to be taken by Dong Zhuo, how can Lü Bu tolerate this?!

The Bingzhou army disappeared without a trace; in fact, they had sneaked back to Chang'an.

Using Lin Mu's threat, they devised a plan to feign one thing while secretly doing another!

"Starting tomorrow, everyone spread out and make a big commotion. The results can be small, but the commotion must be big. Then, pretend to have failed and help the Bingzhou army keep it a secret," Lin Mu instructed.

"promise!!"

Afterwards, Lin Mu, Huang Zhong, and others dispersed throughout Hongnong County, igniting wars in eight regions, creating a truly formidable force. Later, they feigned defeat by the Bingzhou army and disappeared again…

This series of actions successfully put the Xiliang army in Guanzhong at ease. As long as they held Hangu Pass and were restrained by the Bingzhou army, Lin Mu's troops were just a minor nuisance and wouldn't cause any major trouble. They all put their minds back on Hangu Pass.

Afterwards, news of Dong Zhuo marrying Diao Chan also reached Hangu Pass.

The garrison commanders were all hesitant about whether to return to Chang'an.

Lin Mu is currently posing too great a threat. If they all return to attend the wedding banquet, Hangu Pass will be without top-tier generals and commanders, which will cause serious problems. To solve this problem... Dong Zhuo's camp has come up with the same solution as Lü Bu—contact Lin Mu and establish a temporary ceasefire!

That's right, the war ended during Dong Zhuo's wedding.

In response, Dong Zhuo sent Lin Mu an invitation.

Inside the temporary tent, Lin Mu looked at the red invitation card with gold lettering on the table, his expression somewhat strange.

He was originally going to Chang'an, but he sneaked over there. Now... there's a perfectly legitimate way to get there.

Lin Mu agreed to a temporary ceasefire, without any additional demands, just like Lü Bu.

"It seems that fate has decreed that our lord must go to Chang'an!" Taishi Ci exclaimed.

"Get ready, we'll set off in three days!" Lin Mu prepared to lead the lavish entourage of the Great Wilderness Territory.

The Great Wilderness Territory has set many goals and tasks for Chang'an.

Just as Lin Mu was discussing the details with everyone, a system notification that Lin Mu had been waiting for finally appeared:
"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subject [Dian Wei] has successfully embarked on the Path to Heaven, comprehended the Way of Blood, and reached the level of [Heavenly Divine General]! PS: Heavenly Divine General, Ten-Element Divine General."

That's right, Dian Wei has broken through!

Dian Wei's breakthrough was expected.

He had obtained so many opportunities, all of them top-tier, that his promotion to the rank of Tongtian Divine General was only natural. It was perfectly normal for him to be ahead of Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci.

"Buzz!~~~~~" Just then, a strange fluctuation rippled out.

Everyone in the tent sensed it.

"Let's go take a look!!" Lin Mu suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent.

Upon arriving outside the tent, Lin Mu looked up at the sky.

The sky was no longer azure, but blood red, looking extremely eerie!
"Could it be that Gong Tu has broken through?!" Huang Zhong exclaimed with great joy as he looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Upon hearing this, the others were startled. They hadn't considered this possibility at first, but now, it seemed it really was Dian Wei!
"That's right, Gong Tu has officially reached the level of a Heavenly General!!" Lin Mu said with certainty.

"Great!!! That's wonderful!!" Cui Wu and the others were overjoyed.

"Strange, Lu Bu's breakthrough didn't produce any unusual phenomena, but Gong Tu's breakthrough did. Could it be because of the Blood Sovereign's inheritance?" Taishi Ci asked with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu felt a knot in his heart.

Lu Bu was a chosen one of heaven, and he must have received more divine favor than Dian Wei. Lu Bu's breakthrough was silent, while Dian Wei's was so impressive. This was definitely unusual!
Just then, another system notification appeared. Lin Mu initially thought it was an achievement reward, but it turned out to be another multiple-choice question!
"--bite!"

"--System prompt: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your subject Dian Wei is in a special state. Do you want to help Dian Wei reach a higher level? Note that if you choose to help, all of your hidden achievement rewards will be transformed into foundation and integrated into the path of Dian Wei. The announcement will not appear, but the first achievement spot to cultivate a Heavenly General will not disappear. Others can only obtain the second and third achievement rewards."

"What does this mean? Assistance? What exactly did Dian Wei go through?" Lin Mu frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

Lu Bu seemed to break through to the Heavenly General level with ease, while Dian Wei went through many twists and turns... It's truly speechless.

"Forget it, let's support Dian Wei. We don't even know what the reward will be, so it doesn't hurt." Lin Mu sighed inwardly.

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, you have successfully assisted your subject Dian Wei in his transformation. Your subject Dian Wei's exclusive troop has been transformed into a near-epic exclusive troop [Asura Divine Army]."

Good heavens!!!
It turns out it's a transformation of the military branch!

It's a pity that it can't directly transform into an epic-level unit; that would be amazing!
After all, every epic unit is incredibly powerful!
"Wait... [Asura Divine Army]?! A divine army?!" Lin Mu realized what was happening, his expression changing drastically. (End of Chapter)
