Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Tie Niu too stared at Lin Mu, wondering who this man was as well. So far, Tie Niu had no idea at all. The battle earlier had happened far too quickly, and even the one outside was fast.

He neither had the time to ask others about it, and neither did he have enough time to check up on any other records he may have had. To him, Lin Mu was an enigma that there was no information about.

'With the power he has shown, he has to be some well known expert… but I don't think I've ever heard of him.' Tie Niu thought. 'It is the same as that time with Daoist Yulong. Both of them being strong, yet unknown.'

Time passed and now Lin Mu had been silent for about ten minutes. Tie Niu was getting uncomfortable even though the pain had been somewhat numbed for him. Since Lin Mu hadn't actually crippled his cultivation base, his body had started the healing, and the pain had reduced.

But that didn't mean that Tie Niu was in any shape or form to resist right now or even in the coming few days. Even with the help of some strong healing pills, it would take him at least an hour to recover to his normal state. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet

Tie Niu did have a lot of such healing pills and had even tried to use them before, but as a massive surprise to him, the spatial storage ring that he had didn't respond to him. Or more like the communication between him and the ring had been blocked off.

He could tell that it was not cut, or he would have felt it; it was simply 'blocked'. It was like the things he stored inside were behind a glass wall. He could see them, but not get them.

And if he wanted to break that 'glass wall', he needed to be strong enough to attack it, which he had no strength to do.

Of course, Tie Niu didn't know that Lin Mu had blocked off his access to the spatial storage ring the moment Lin Mu had crippled him. It was an easy task for Lin Mu, especially when Tie Niu's spirit sense was so weak.

Lin Mu had remembered to use this move in his mind for a while now. Blocking off the enemies' access to their spatial storage treasure could cut off their only means of survival or perhaps even offense and defense.

After all, many cultivators kept their spirit tools and spirit weapons in their spatial storage treasures. And without them, a major portion of their power would be removed. This also included the spirit stones they might have used to recover themselves.

Though this tactic had a restriction too.

For Lin Mu to be able to lock down someone's spatial storage treasure, three conditions needed to be fulfilled.

First of all, the spatial storage treasure needed to be of a low enough level. So far, Lin Mu was sure that even if it was a peak grade spatial storage treasure, he would be able to block it off. And since there were rarely any spatial storage treasures of that level in Xiaofan world, Lin Mu was mostly covered for this condition.

The second condition was that the spirit sense of the cultivator that owned the spatial storage treasure needed to be weaker than that of Lin Mu. At Lin Mu's current level, this was a condition that would be fulfilled for most of the cultivators, with only the exceptional ones at the Dao Treading realm and Immortal Ascension realm his match.

Then the third and the final condition was that they needed to be within Lin Mu's range too; or more accurately, the range of his spirit sense, which was already over a hundred kilometer right now. Thus, unless the enemy was able to escape past that limit, they would still be unable to use their spatial storage tool.

Of course, these were the only three conditions that were mostly applicable that Lin Mu knew of right now. There could be other unknown situations that might arise in the future that he would have to watch out for and adjust accordingly.

Considering all those, this skill was rather useful and Lin Mu had mostly grasped it on his own with a few pointers from Senior Xukong.

With his proficiency with spatial element increasing, the number of things he could do increased as well. With this skill being one of them. Xukong had told him that this was one of the more common spatial abilities that cultivators who specialized in the spatial element used.

The name of it being rather simple: 'Spatial Block'.

This could be considered being one of the first active Spatial elemental skills Lin Mu had learned on his own and was not given by the ring.

"What happens to me now?" Tie Niu questioned, seeing that Lin Mu had not spoken even after an hour and was now just sitting on the side.

Lin Mu broke out of his thoughts and looked at the man.

"Your fate is decided, but the flow of it may change depending on what you can provide me with." Lin Mu spoke.

"What do you want? I already told you all that I know." Tie Niu replied.

"I want the location of Gu Yao… or anything related to him, his people, his plans, anything you know." Lin Mu said.

He knew that while Tie Niu had spoken a lot of things and had explained to him about the situation of empire in the past two years, the recent events were yet to be covered.

"I… I don't know the location of Gu Yao. He's never appeared in person and nor have I gone to meet him." Tie Niu said, but shivered upon seeing Lin Mu's cold face. "But I do know where some of his subordinates are! They are the ones who take the cultivators we capture!"

Hearing this, Lin Mu felt a bit pleased, but no change was seen on his face.
