Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu was not expecting to see what was basically the entirety of the Mountain Brush Sect's leadership piled into a dead hill here.

"What exactly did happen?" Lin Mu questioned.

Little Shrubby then went on to explain how soon after Lin Mu entered the sect, he saw a few suspicious people leaving the sect. Little Shrubby followed them and saw them meet up with a few Gu Legion people.

And as he was asked before, he killed them.

But upon killing them, a certain message was sent out and it called forth more Gu Legion members, one after the other. First came the weaker members, and a few hours after Little Shrubby killed them more of them came.

Little Shrubby killed them too and got some peace for a bit.

He was cooking when Gu Legion members with higher cultivation tried to sneak attack and ended up spilling the pot of stew that he was cooking.

Then in a fit of rage, Little Shrubby killed them all and followed their scent all the way to a certain location. He then broke through a barrier which let him inside a sect.

All the people of the sect were alerted and attacked him in response, and Little Shrubby reacted similarly.

But he also found the scent of those that were controlled by the Human Controlling Blood curse and those with the muddied Nascent souls here.

Following the orders that Lin Mu had given, little Shrubby killed all that came after him and only left those that didn't have the scent of the pills of grace and Human Controlling Blood curse on them.

Lin Mu was stunned hearing it all and was at a loss for words.

"So you eliminated the entire Mountain Brush sect on your own?" Lin Mu muttered.

"Yup. I also got some things from them. Oh, and I kept their storage treasures, you can open them, I was unable to." Little Shrubby replied causally.

Lin Mu didn't know what to say to it. He knew that what Little Shrubby was ultimately good, but the entire event was greatly unexpected for him.

The disciples of the Ripple Mist sect who watched it all but were unable to understand their conversation were sitting there confused.

To them, Lin Mu spoke some words, and Little Shrubby would respond with a growl.

It was very unusual for them and they could only keep their mouth shut. They felt that if they interfered, it might not end well. Not to mention that Little Shrubby alone was quite intimidating to them.

And the pile of corpses didn't help either.

'That beast kill the patriarch of the Mountain Brush Sect? Damn… it must be at least at the Dao shell realm.' They thought.

Having heard it all, though, Lin Mu came upon another issue.

"When you left the Mountain brush sect, were there still people alive?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Yes, the ones that didn't have the scent were still alive. They were all too weak though." Little Shrubby answered.

"So the disciples are alone too…" Lin Mu muttered.

He knew that leaving them alone would not be good either.

'Since Little Shrubby found similar aura and scent like the Ripple Mist sect there, the elders were definitely doing the same to the disciples there. They are victims too and now alone.; Lin Mu thought to himself.

He then looked at the disciples of the Ripple Mist sect and got an idea.

"All of you shall have a change of path." Lin Mu suddenly spoke.

"What senior?" the disciples were confused.

"The disciples of the Mountain brush Sect are victims of the same thing as you. Their sect elders were doing the same to them and now they are alone in the sect. I want you all to go to them and take them to the Fenlong kingdom with you." Lin Mu instructed.

"What?! It happened there too?" The disciples were stunned.

"Not just there, I think it might be for all the sects that are in the Zither Wind Alliance." Lin Mu stated.

He had a hunch that it was exactly why Gu Yao was able to make ten Dao Treading Realm experts in a short amount of time. By upgrading from beasts to humans, he had sped up the process of making the pills of grace, as they were far more compatible than the beasts.

The disciples whispered amongst each other and agreed to Lin Mu's words.

"We shall do as you command, senior. If others have suffered like this, then they should learn the truth too." A disciple that was taking the role of a leader for the Ripple Mist sect disciples spoke.

"Very well. Go on now," Lin Mu said before tossing them a spatial storage treasure. "Also take this. It will help you with the journey." He added.

The disciple quickly caught it and checked what the spatial storage treasure held. Seeing many spirit stones and pills inside, he was stunned.

"THANK YOU SENIOR!" The disciples quickly bowed his head.

"THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP SENIOR!" The other disciples joined in ceremony.

Lin Mu nodded in response before taking his leave.

Flying up, he climbed onto Little Shrubby's back, and the two of them disappeared over the horizon.

~WHOOSH~

Only a gust of wind was left behind upon their departure.

The disciples stood there looking a bit dazed, thinking as if it was all a dream.

"Where do we go now, master?" Little Shrubby asked.

"Hmm… we need to cultivate more. I got a lot of resources." Lin Mu replied.

"Okay!~" Little Shrubby replied, feeling happy.

Little Shrubby changed his direction and went towards the south. Their intended destination the Zither Wind sect. Lin Mu wanted to collect some information before he entered the seclusion and also wanted to be near the Zither wind sect as it would be his next target.

He hoped to be strong enough to oppose the fourth strongest sect of the Great Zhou Continent on his own.

It was a tall order, and he needed to be prepared.
