Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Lin Mu and Jing Luo discussed a few more plans about how to proceed.

The main goal was to get rid of Gu Yao, but they were unable to find his location. Until he was not gone, there would always be threats from the Northern Tribes.

"Are we still not anywhere close to finding Gu Yao's location?" Lin Mu asked.

"Unfortunately no. There was a time when we came really close and unearthed a large hideout of the Gu Legion and even attacked it with the alliance, but by the time we were done, and the Gu Legion members were dead, we didn't find anyone else there.

We think that we might have been close to Gu Yao, but he escaped while the others delayed. We did bring a lot of people, enough to overwhelm Gu Yao thus, I reckon that's why he chose to escape rather than fight." Jing Luo answered.

"Hmm… you won't find him outside. He is most definitely in a minor plane." Lin Mu stated.

"Yeah. We just hoped that we would have found an entrance or a clue to the minor plane there." Jing Luo replied.

~Sigh~

"We'll just have to kill every Gu Legion member until he is forced to come out, it seems." Lin Mu said as a hint of killing intent glowed in his eyes.

"Yes!" Jing Luo agreed. "Though there is another person who might be able to help us track him." He added.

"Oh?" Lin Mu wondered who.

"My grandfather, of course! He should be able to make something that can track Gu Yao, especially with the help of my cousin Duan Ke. She is an expert in investigative skills. Combining both of them, we should definitely be able to find him!" Jing Luo said with confidence.

Lin Mu's eyes lit up and he could see the merit in this idea. It was something they were doing anyway, and it would work out for them.

"Though before we do that… we might have to take some precautions." Lin Mu spoke.

"Yes, we can't let Gu Yao get a clue about this." Jing Luo replied.

"We'll have to get the alliance to maintain the current stalemate. This should keep Gu Yao occupied. Then we'll go and get Wu Hei and your grandfather in that time. I'll be able to call Little Shrubby once I'm close enough to the Shuang Qian Kingdom, as well." Lin Mu suggested.

"That will be the best. As much as we want to push those bastards back, the current situation will give us the chance to secretly get them." Jing Luo agreed.

"Mmmhmm… guess we need to talk with the patriarchs." Lin Mu said.

"We'll do it in a bit. We'll be done with the formation array and then we can head off." Jing Luo asked to wait.

Lin Mu agreed and helped out Jing Luo with the final finishing touches of the fomentation arrays and once they were done, both of them entered the Kong plane and headed to the Long Cloud sect.

Lin Mu was of course, met with great fanfare there too and the people there were greatly excited to meet him. But the patriarch quickly calmed them down so that they could discuss the plans.

At first, the patriarch of the Black Dune sect was in disagreement with Lin Mu's plan of delaying the fight, but then was convinced after hearing why Lin Mu and Jing Luo needed to do that.

The four patriarchs of the alliance, Patriarch You Yi, Patriarch Shandian, Patriarch Mingliang and Patriarch Hua, all conversed with Lin Mu for the entire day so that they could come up with the concrete plan of action. New chapters are published on Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

Only when that was done could Lin Mu take a rest.

"You should rest and prepare for tomorrow. You will have a long journey ahead." Patriarch Hua said.

"Yes… I'll retire for the night then." Lin Mu replied.

"You should leave too, Jing Luo. We'll continue your work and make sure all goes well." Patriarch You Yi said as well.

"Very well." Jing Luo accepted.

The two men left and went to rest in each of their courtyards.

The night was filled with twinkling stars and Lin Mu laid on the roof of the courtyard staring at the sky. He felt reluctant so sleep now and had a fear that if he slept, the next time he woke up would be years later.

~Sigh~

"The Well of Slumber is indeed a double edged sword. I thought I had it in control, but that seems unlikely." Lin Mu muttered.

"There is also a chance that it was actually done by your own body, too. It might have understood that it would be far more beneficial to use the Well of slumber and let your body accommodate both things at once." Xukong suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? How can my body do that when I'm in control of it?" Lin Mu asked feeling confused.

"People do think they are in control of their bodies, but that is not always true. There is more to your body than just your consciousness. In addition to you, your body also has the bloodline in it. Every being in the universe has a bloodline and it will have thousands upon thousand of years of memories contained within them.

These are the experiences your predecessor would have gone through and they would be hidden within your bloodline. It is these very experiences that forge the natural instincts of your body.

Sometimes these can also make you do things without your control." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu fell in deep thought upon hearing it. He raised his right and gazed at the mysterious ring.

No one knows what he thought, but he closed his eyes and just rested like that for the rest of the night.

Hours passed, and soon it was daybreak. Lin Mu's eyes snapped open at the first light of the sun and he disappeared from the roof of the courtyard.

~huu~

He took a deep breath as he looked in the distance towards North.

"I'm coming… Wu Hei, old man Jing… Duan Ke."
