Chapter 2

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining the God-Level Sign-in System!] Just then, a mechanical voice appeared in Qin Mu’s mind. PS: New book, seeking flowers, seeking evaluation tickets, seeking monthly tickets.

This is... a system?

A flash of wild joy instantly crossed Qin Mu’s eyes!

The golden finger has finally arrived!

Before he transmigrated, Qin Mu was also a bookworm, so he naturally understood the functions of a system.

The so-called sign-in system is to go to places designated by the system to sign in, thereby obtaining various rewards.

[Novice gift package is being distributed!]

[Congratulations to the host for successfully merging with the Green Lotus Hermit Li Bai, obtaining the Sword Immortal inheritance!] As the voice faded, Qin Mu felt an indescribable sense of refreshment throughout his body.

(Seeking flowers, seeking tickets)

An image emerged in his mind.

The Green Lotus Hermit, in flowing white robes, walked upon a sword and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha!"

"The waters of the Great River come from the heavens, rushing to the sea, never to return!"

A feeling of free-spirited heroism filled his chest.

At the same time.

A set of incredibly sharp Green Lotus Sword Art had also been fully mastered by Qin Mu.

[Please, host, reach the first sign-in location as soon as possible!]

The system’s voice rang out in Qin Mu’s mind once again.

"The first sign-in location?"

A map appeared in Qin Mu’s mind.

The map depicted the Great Tang and its surrounding countries in great detail.

At the same time.

A red dot appeared on the map in the southwest direction of the Great Tang.

That was the first sign-in location.

"The first sign-in location is actually in Tubo?"

Seeing the sign-in location marked on the map, a trace of surprise flashed in Qin Mu’s eyes.

But soon.

A decision was made in Qin Mu’s heart.

A rebellious decision!

"Alright, the hour is late. Young man, it is time for you to go."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s arrogant voice rang out again.

He looked at Qin Mu once more, cold killing intent flickering in his eyes.

Hmph!

If not for the Emperor’s decree to spare your life, I would never let a genius Wu Li Ke you leave the Duke’s Prefecture alive.

Before this, Li Er had strictly ordered Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji not to harm Qin Mu’s life.

Otherwise, given Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s scheming nature, he would certainly have eliminated Qin Mu, this major threat.

Following an order, several well-trained guards stepped forward.

They were aggressive, their hands gripping their sabers.

The meaning was already very clear.

If you are still not convinced, then we will not be so polite.

"Hmph!"

Looking at the guards surrounding him, Qin Mu showed no panic on his face; he merely sneered, moved slightly, and with extreme speed, drew the saber from one of the guards.

"Audacious!"

The sudden situation caused the surrounding guards to draw their sabers and rush toward Qin Mu.

A flash of cold light streaked by, and when the guards were still a step away from Qin Mu, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"Puchi!"

A strange sound rang out, and the guards fell to the ground one after another, landing in a pool of blood.

Before they died, their eyes were filled with extreme terror, as if they could not believe that this fragile-looking youth could have such methods.

"You!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s face turned deathly pale; just as he wanted to shout, he felt a chill at his neck.

Qin Mu stood before him, sword in hand, expressionless.

The cold, ruthless killing intent made Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s spine turn cold.

He believed that if he made any rash move, his fate would be no better than those dead guards.

"Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, where has your earlier majesty gone?"

Qin Mu looked at Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji with disgust, a playful smirk on his lips.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was so scared that he stuttered.

"Hehe! Is this the famous Duke of Zhao?"

"Rest assured, I will not kill you. I want you to remember, and I want the Emperor of the Great Tang to remember, that one day, I will make you kneel and welcome my return!"

"From today on, I, Qin Mu, defect from the Great Tang!"

After speaking, Qin Mu leaped and quickly disappeared into the night.

The Duke of Zhao’s Prefecture returned to silence once again.

"Hoo—hoo—"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was sweating profusely, his face flushed red, gasping for breath.

The terrifying killing intent Qin Mu had displayed just now had truly given him a fright.

"Hmm? What is this?"

Just then, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji discovered a jade pendant where Qin Mu had been standing.

He carefully picked up the jade pendant and examined it closely.

A moment later, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s face turned incredibly terrified, as if he had seen the most frightening thing in his life.

He threw the jade pendant away as if he had been electrocuted, backed away repeatedly, and shaking his head in terror, said: "Impossible! How could it be him!? Impossible!"

Night fell.

Changancheng was quiet and peaceful.

A figure darted through the empty streets.

After leaving the Duke of Zhao’s Prefecture, Qin Mu headed straight for the city gates of Changancheng.

He had only one goal.

Leave the Great Tang and sneak into Tubo!

The matter had already blown up.

To prevent further complications, he had to leave Changancheng tonight.

Only when he reached Tubo would his sign-in system truly display its power!

PS: New book, seeking flowers, seeking evaluation tickets, seeking monthly tickets.

Changancheng gate.

A dozen guards stood with torches and weapons, gripping their sabers.

Besides the whistling wind and the sound of burning torches, there was no movement.

During the Great Tang, a curfew policy was implemented.

Except for major festivals, no one was allowed to go out after dark.

The gates of Changancheng were also closed, and no one was allowed in or out except in emergencies.

Otherwise, it would be treated as treason!

"Who goes there?"
