Seeing the several buses around, Mu Lin knew that the area was definitely shielded. Telephones, radios, car phones, and all other modern communication tools had temporarily become useless decorations here. No information could leak out from the villa. In other words, this place had now become an isolated island cut off from the outside world.
Looking at the soldiers around him, armed with various kinds of modern advanced weapons, Mu Lin understood that although the other side hadn’t openly broken relations with him, they had been deeply embarrassed by his actions in front of the U.S. ambassador. In their fury, they had decided to take ruthless measures secretly. This time, they had even dispatched the military, clearly showing their determination to capture him at all costs.
If he couldn’t survive tonight safely, he would spend the rest of his life in a secret Y country prison. Under their methods, he might become someone he no longer recognized, his cultivation journey reduced to a fleeting dream. The knowledge he possessed might even become a tool in their hands.
A surge of hatred rose in his heart, and killing intent quickly spread within him. Since the incident with the Black Dragon Gang, he had never felt such intense murderous intent before. The entire room was filled with an overwhelming killing aura that made Xiao Laipi tremble with fear.
“Master! What are you doing? You’re not planning to kill me, are you? I haven’t done anything wrong, Master!” Xiao Laipi shouted in alarm.
Xiao Laipi’s cries snapped Mu Lin out of his trance, and he quickly regained control of his mind. The overwhelming killing intent instantly dissipated. Xiao Laipi gently patted his chest, clearly shaken.
“Master! Next time, if you’re going to unleash such a terrifying killing aura, at least give me a heads-up. You don’t know how scared I was—I thought you were going to kill me! You nearly scared me to death!” Xiao Laipi scolded Mu Lin lightly.
“Hehe! There won’t be a next time. This time, I must have momentarily lost control of my mind, and my heart demon suddenly took over. I’ll be more careful next time. I’m sorry, Xiao Laipi!”
“If you hadn’t pulled me out of that demonic state, I might have gone on a killing spree, which would have greatly damaged my cultivation. If my mind had been injured this time, I might never reach the Yuan Ying stage, and I would have lost all chances of attaining the Dao. Thank you, Xiao Laipi!” Mu Lin sincerely and solemnly thanked Xiao Laipi.
Perhaps Xiao Laipi had never seen Mu Lin so serious before, and for a moment, he was flustered by the unexpected gratitude.
The reason for this incident was that Mu Lin had neglected his mental cultivation for a long time. When he saw the enemy’s despicable plan to kill him, his heart demon temporarily took control of his mind.
The difference between unintentional killing intent and intentional killing intent is like heaven and earth. Intentional killing intent can be controlled, but unintentional killing intent indicates cracks in one’s heart, leaving one vulnerable to heart demons. No matter how much one cultivates, one can never achieve the perfect, unblemished state of ultimate enlightenment.
Thinking about this incident, if Xiao Laipi hadn’t timely awakened him with his familiar voice, once he had gone on a killing spree, his future path in cultivation would have been ruined. Even if he had killed the two main culprits afterward, it would have been too late to undo the damage.
Since they showed no mercy, he had no reason to show them any. If he didn’t make the royal family lose face completely this time, he wouldn’t be Mu Lin.
Mu Lin’s spiritual sense could see that the enemy’s soldiers had already entered the Soul Confusion Formation. Dozens of soldiers were wandering aimlessly inside the formation like headless flies.
Mu Lin had studied this formation himself and discovered that when the formation was set up, if one didn’t trigger it, nothing would happen. But once triggered, the surrounding space would undergo abnormal changes.
These changes were essentially transformations of an alternate space, compressing grand natural phenomena like mountains rising and seas surging into the space controlled by the formation. Although not real, they manipulated people’s senses. As long as one still had perception, these illusions would influence one’s senses relentlessly until one was completely overwhelmed.
It seemed that while he was momentarily distracted, the enemy had already sent in their first group. Seeing no results after a long time, they had sent in a second group. However, these soldiers also vanished without a trace after entering Mu Lin’s formation.
Mu Lin didn’t deal with the soldiers inside the formation first. Instead, he extended his spiritual awareness outward, layer by layer, moving from the outermost ring inward, incapacitating each soldier one by one. Only after dealing with these outer soldiers did he begin to handle those inside the formation.
Surprisingly, there was a significant difference between the elite soldiers and the regular troops. If ordinary people had entered the formation, they would have lost their composure and started firing randomly upon encountering terrifying scenes.
But these special forces soldiers were different. They had been trained to handle various scenarios. Once they encountered such a situation, they immediately dropped to the ground, silently controlling their minds and resisting the terrifying illusions.
This made Mu Lin’s actions more convenient. After incapacitating all the soldiers inside the formation, Mu Lin’s spiritual awareness moved outside the villa, into the electronic interference bus, where he shut down the devices.
Mu Lin said to Xiao Laipi, “Xiao Laipi, do you want to watch an exciting show? Let’s make those two old women lose face?”
Xiao Laipi nodded vigorously. As a pet, he didn’t have much combat power and could only rely on some magical treasures and formations for self-defense. Mu Lin’s killing intent had frightened him greatly earlier, but since Mu Lin was his current master, he couldn’t do anything about it. He could only redirect his inner resentment toward Mu Lin’s enemies. Now that he heard Mu Lin wanted to show him an exciting performance to humiliate the two women, he was naturally delighted.
“Alright then. Stay inside the house for now and don’t go anywhere. You’ve already set up two formations in the courtyard tonight according to my method. Now, set up a defensive formation inside your room just in case.”
“The enemy outside the villa has already been incapacitated by me, and I’ve also shut down their radio jamming equipment. You should stay in my room and pretend to be me. If any calls come in, you’ll have to handle them.”
“Now I’m going outside to make some arrangements. Once I call you, you’ll deactivate the formation, leave quietly, meet up with me, and then we’ll leave together. Then you’ll get to see the show.” Mu Lin carefully instructed Xiao Laipi.
