Breaking through five realms in a single day, a god among men!

After Gu Lin was promoted to the position of Sanwen Zhenfu Shi (a military commander).

Xiao Mu was promoted to Second Rank Thousand Household thanks to Wei Yan's help. After the promotion, he continued to sell off the Wei family's wealth, and the other confidants also received promotions!

Gu Lin sat alone in his office, handling official documents.

Just then.

Xuanyuan Zhubinglan rushed into the government office in a great hurry:

"My lord! Xiao Mu has been captured!"

Gu Lin's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up:

"What happened?"

Xuanyuan Zhu looked anxious and spoke rapidly:

"We were dealing with pills and magical artifacts at a trading company when Xiao Mu got into a conflict with an old man. The old man revealed his identity and turned out to be a Seven-Colored Divine Robe Patrol Envoy. Xiao Mu is now imprisoned in the Dao Discipline Department Prison."

Gu Lin's face was grim. "Let's go!"

This is definitely a setup!

He hurriedly went to the Daoji Division.

Outside the main hall of the Daoji Si Yamen, many high-ranking officials in golden robes adorned with the sun, moon, and stars had gathered. The patrol envoys and commanders from the other three yamen had also arrived. Lord Lu had gone to the Heavenly Palace and was not in the Holy Land.

In the center of the procession stood an old man with white hair, wearing a seven-colored three-legged golden crow robe embroidered with seven three-legged golden crows. He was a seven-patterned hunting envoy!

Beside him stood an exceptionally handsome young man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with deep and serene eyes, as if he had been cleansed by the years, exuding a refined and elegant temperament.

Upon meeting Gu Lin, the high-ranking officials of the Circuit Discipline Office introduced him to the imperial inspector:

"This is Xiao Qianhu's superior, Gu Lin, the head of the Nan Geng Fang."

"Gu Lin, this is Lord Yun!"

"Lord Yun!" Gu Lin gave a simple bow.

The inspector, Yun, looked appreciative and said with a smile:

"I have heard of you, Empress Zichen's fiancé."

"I never expected him to be a Three-Patterned Garrison Commander. He is truly extraordinary."

Gu Lin cut to the chase and asked:

"Lord Yun, what crime have my men committed?"

The Cloud Inspector put away his smile and said solemnly:

"I was strolling around when this person spoke rudely, spewing vulgarities. This is a serious provocation, completely disregarding the hierarchical order of this sacred place. He must be punished!"

"The image of him insulting me has been recorded in the image array and handed over to the Dao Records Division of the Western Dome Domain."

Gu Lin looked at the Dao Discipline Division of the Western Dome Domain, where a group of high-ranking officials nodded slightly, their expressions solemn.

He hadn't said a word yet.

The usually silent and refined young man suddenly stepped forward.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chaomu, one of the Eighteen Extraordinary People."

His voice was clear and resonant, calm and unhurried, exuding an innate confidence.

He heard that he was one of the eighteen extraordinary people.

The expressions of the three inspectors and commanders present changed drastically.

Could he be a being who has reincarnated?

That's someone above even the instructors and those who have been appointed by the emperor!

One of the rulers of the Mysterious Ancient Road, he specializes in hunting down the top geniuses of the eighteen mysterious clans. He is the glory of the entire cultivation world and is also highly regarded by the Jade Capital in the heavens!

I wonder what this reincarnator's status was in their previous life!

Seeing that Gu Lin was expressionless, Chao Mu simply stated her purpose directly:

"Logically speaking, Xiao Mu's crimes are unforgivable, but I can plead with Lord Yun to spare his life. However, the condition is that he willingly offers up his entire life's fortune to help me reach the pinnacle of the bizarre ancient path and slaughter all the bizarre races!"

Gu Lin smiled.

As we approach the eerie ancient road, all sorts of beasts come out to display their supernatural powers!

Chao Mu remained calm and composed, awaiting Gu Lin's reply.

He himself was favored by the Great Dao and had cultivated the Fortune-Gathering Technique in one reincarnation. Only the Fortune-Gathering Technique could devour the fortune of others. In the past year, he had been accumulating fortune in the cultivation world. When he passed through the Eastern Region, a commander named Fifth Absolute specifically mentioned that there was a person with great fortune in the Western Dome Region.

As expected, Xiao Mu's power of destiny is truly terrifying!

"Bring Xiao Mu here!" the Cloud Patrol Envoy ordered.

Officials from the Daoji Division went to the prison.

Before long, Xiao Mu was brought over, covered in blood, clearly injured by the array-patterned shackles. Upon seeing Gu Lin, he cried out in a mournful voice:

"Lord Gu, they set this up! They provoked me, insulted my parents, and verbally abused me mercilessly. I was forced to retaliate and was captured on the spot!"

He pointed at Chaomu, his face contorted with rage, and roared in anguish:

"This inspector patted me on the shoulder, at least plundering 20% ​​of my fortune for him! The inspector said the remaining 80% is waiting to be used for setting up an array and altar!"

The Cloud Patrol Envoy stared coldly at Xiao Mu, his imposing aura overwhelming:

"You've offended me, committed a grave offense of disrespect, and you still think you're innocent?"

Gu Lin's face was icy cold, his heart brimming with rage.

The surrounding high-ranking members of the holy sites remained silent.

Clearly, this is a setup.

Luck is a mysterious and extremely important thing.

In particular, the conquest of the bizarre ancient road can bring good fortune, allowing one to seize opportunities and obtain all sorts of unimaginable divine objects. It also makes it easier to slay origin monsters, add black fruits to the saplings within the body, and prepare for the Starry Sky World Tree.

Including primordial crystals, obtaining one primordial crystal costs eight points, while killing a top-tier monster of the strange race only costs one point.

Of course, all of this ultimately depends on combat strength!

As a reincarnator, Chaomu's combat power is definitely superior to that of the appointed and the instructor. With great fortune bestowed upon him, he will surely write a glorious chapter!

Moreover, although Xiao Mu is a second-rank commander, he is not qualified to participate in the final battle, and Commander Gu is not a person with great fortune, so it is impossible for him to obtain the fortune of his subordinates.

Let's do each other a favor and be on good terms!

Sure enough, Chao Mufeng said calmly:

"By offering up all your fortune in accordance with the formation, Lord Yun will forgive your great disrespect, and you will remain the Second Commander of the Eastern Temple."

"If you cooperate wholeheartedly and step onto the eerie ancient path, and if you encounter the Death Judge, I will make him follow me and protect his life."

"Those who are appointed and those who teach me in the entire cultivation world will be ruthlessly trampled by me. Those who can follow me and be the judges of death are truly blessed."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu's angry and sorrowful expression gradually calmed down.

He knew that Chao Mu was very strong. Only he could sense the terrifying aura and power emanating from his opponent. That aura and power could be completely transformed into combat power, so powerful that it completely overturned his understanding.

If this person can keep his promise and go into the strange ancient road to help Lord Gu with all his might, then I am willing to offer up the remaining 80% of my luck.

He was even willing to give his life for Lord Gu!

The ancient and mysterious road is too difficult. Lord Gu has survived countless near-death experiences, so he must be helped.

Seeing that Xiao Mu was interested, Yun Xunshou Shi and Chaomu were relieved.

Only by fully cooperating with the formation can one harvest the remaining 80% of the fortune.

Such a powerful force of fortune is being wasted on a good-for-nothing!

Xiao Mu was about to agree: "I..."

"Shut up!" Gu Lin shouted coldly, looking at the members of the Daoji Division:

"Take the image retention talisman."

The Dao Ji Si handed over a talisman for recording images.

As expected.

The Cloud Patrol Envoy was dressed in ordinary fine robes and did not reveal his identity or produce any tokens throughout the process.

Otherwise, would someone as shrewd as Xiao Mu be so foolish as to directly insult a Seven-Colored Divine Robe Patrol Envoy? In the end, Xiao Mu had no idea of ​​the other party's identity and was simply retaliating after being provoked!

Gu Lin sneered:

"Let's go to the Jade Palace in the heavens!"
