Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 1012 - Gu Yao's Change

Lin Mu didn't know why or how the man had changed this much. The others were surprised by it too and realized that if they didn't find out now, even if Gu Yao was right in front of them, they might have missed him entirely.

"He became like this over the last year. I'm thinking it's most likely due to his cultivation technique or something." Wu Hei answered.

"That does seem like the usual suspect." Patriarch Yi spoke.

Lin Mu nodded his head as well. He was after all an example of this too. His body had changed several times due to cultivation and now he looked rather different from the past. Thought it could also be attributed partly to his own growth and aging.

He was barely fourteen when he started cultivating and now he was about twenty three. The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . Fɪre

'Almost ten years… hard to believe it.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

It was a surreal experience now that he thought of it and he would have never expected in the past he would come this far along. He had both suffered and prospered in this time. With both aspects going to the very extremes.

From a common village orphan boy, he was now the leader of an entire alliance that spanned over top sects and kingdoms. To anyone, this kind of growth would be considered stunning or downright unnatural.

The discussion continued for a while more but not before Lin Mu dropped off Wu Hei back at the mansion. He could only bring the man over for a short time to the Kong plane since there was always a chance of others finding out.

This was rather troublesome and Wu Hei couldn't do much right now since it was something that was his own doing. He was the one who had requested protection due to the assassin.

When the patriarchs were told that there was such a person going around killing their enemies they didn't know whether to concern him a friend or foe. Regardless, they decided to keep an eye out for him.

If things worked out and they found him, they would extend a hand out to him.

But that was all in the future and Lin Mu needed to continue onwards for now.

"I shouldn't hold you back any longer. You two need to go on your task too." Wu Hei spoke.

"Indeed. It has been delayed for quite a while now." Lin Mu replied.

"Between here and the Black dawn kingdom, the Gu legion and Northern tribes have several outposts, and so there are open lines of communication. If you are discovered in one of them, they will alert the others, so it's best you avoid them.

Though if you are detected… you may as well destroy them all. If possible of course." Wu Hei suggested.

"I will." Lin Mu nodded before he remembered something. "Wait, if the communication is possible, then you mean there are no jamming formations here?" he asked.

"No, the ones that exist are along the border of the Black dawn kingdom to the south. There shouldn't be any problem in you communicating with me here." Wu Hei replied.

"That'll make things easier. We will keep you updated on things." Jing Luo said.

"And I'll do the same." Wu Hei agreed.

In the end, Wu Hei gave them some reminders and let them leave. Lin Mu sent Jing Luo to the Kong plane and went back to the room they had rented. Little Shrubby had been waiting for them there… or more like taking a nap.

~shua~

Lin Mu reappeared in the room along with Jing Luo and woke up Little Shrubby in the process.

"You're back. Is it time to leave?" Little Shrubby guessed.

"Yup. We are ready." Lin Mu replied.

"Alright!" Little Shrubby said with excitement.

"We can take this route," Jing Luo spoke as he took out a map. "I gathered some information downstairs and there are several smuggling small caravans that go through this path to avoid paying taxes on the border." He revealed.

"Huh… that's neat." Lin Mu muttered. "You got this kind of information downstairs?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"There's a lot you can gain if you lighten some tongues with wine. The good for nothing nobles downstairs can't help but brag the little success they start to get." Jing Luo chuckled.

"If it works in our favor, I guess it's good." Lin Mu couldn't complain.

With their plan set, Lin Mu decided to leave at night. But before that, he wanted to do one last thing. He wanted to survey the entire capital and see if there were any 'Reborn' hidden here.

In addition to that, he also wanted to get an account of all the people who were under the grasp of the Human Controlling blood curse here. He was even looking to infiltrate the royal palace and check there.

Wu Hei had already given him the authorization token and it would allow him free entry through the formation arrays. It would save him time on unraveling it and even give him direct entry to the royal court.

While Wu Hei had already told them about the people controlled by Gu Yao in the capital, from the current revelation that even Wu Hei was not fully informed of things, there were bound to be other secrets here.

Lin Mu left the room and started his surveillance. There were six hours till night time and it was more than enough time for him to cover the entire city. In just three hours he was done with the common areas of the city and had found several people that were under the Human controlling blood curse and even more that had taken the 'pills of grace'.

And when he moved to the noble distinct, the number only increased more.

'Gu Yao certainly strengthened his grasp here…' Lin Mu thought as he made his way towards the royal palace.

Using phase to move through the ground left Lin Mu uninhibited, and he quickly arrived at the palace.
