Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu clenched his fist, gauging the power in his fist. The level of vital energy within his body had reached an extremely high level, and Lin Mu didn't know if it could go beyond this point. Perhaps when his body was fully converted into Xiantian Physique then he'll be able to tell.

"I am now fully prepared for assimilating the bloodline of the great slumber bear. All that's left for me is to fulfill the promise that I made with the Hei corps." Lin Mu spoke to himself.

He thought to himself for a bit and wondered why he was waiting here, when he could just go to the Wu Lim city. If he was lucky, he could even be able to find that junior elder Fa Shiu and kill him before the events preceding the wedding.

"That does seem like a good idea. There is no reason for you to stay here and you can preemptively strike on that man." Xukong agreed.

Lin Mu nodded in response and stood up, having made up his mind. He had a quick talk with little shrubby and instructed it to not start any fires for the coming few days, or at least till he came back. Little shrubby agreed with him, albeit a little hesitatingly.

Lin Mu petted his head and then prepared to leave for the journey. There really wasn't much that he needed to do, as most of his items were kept in his ring, anyway.

Seeing that everything was now prepared, Lin Mu took out the formation plate that controlled the illusory formation that was placed on the courtyard and activated it. An invisible wave of spirit qi was spread in the air, and the courtyard disappeared from the neighborhood.

Lin Mu stepped out of his courtyard and turned to take a look.

"It's hidden alright," Lin Mu spoke before doing a quick sweep of the area to find Hei Ping.

He informed the man that he was going to the Wu Lim city and to not worry about the house. Hei Ping was left dumbfounded when he tried to look for the house and could not find it, no matter how much he tried.

"I swear it was here… Or is this what senior Lin Mu meant by not to worry about the house?" Hei Ping muttered to himself with a wry smile.

He then let out a sigh and returned to his work, not bothering with the house anymore. Meanwhile, Lin Mu had just reached the town center and entered the office at the top.

"What brings you here?" Hei Wen greeted Lin Mu upon seeing him enter.

"I've decided that I'm going to head to Wu Lim city." Lin Mu stated.

Hei Wen was a bit confused, but nodded her head nevertheless.

"Why the change in decision, didn't you have some tasks to do? The ceremonies have not started either." Hei Wen asked.

"The work that I had here has been completed ahead of time," Lin Mu said as he clenched his fist, still trying to get used to the increase in the vital energy.

In that moment, Hei Wen could feel as if a hidden volcano was standing in front of her. A volcano that was at its limit and would explode any moment.

~Gulp~

But then the illusion faded away, and she gulped in shock.

'What horrifying vital energy! And his cultivation base… I can't even sense it.' Hei Wen thought.

Knowing that it was none of her business and it would be inappropriate asking Lin Mu about it, she decided to just go with the flow.

"Alright, I'll get you a carriage to take you to the city and I'll also send a message ahead." Hei Wen spoke.

"There's no need for a carriage, It'll be faster if I head there on my own. Besides, I want to see if I can catch that junior elder Fa Shiu first." Lin Mu replied.

"About that… you may want to be careful while in the city. The disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect have a stronghold in the city and it would not do you good if you openly targeted them. I've already informed the lord of this so he knows and will assist you.

Also, it would be better if you take care of it before the ceremonies and do not act during them. There will be a few core condensation realm experts keeping watch there and it could turn dangerous." Hei Wen advised.

"I understand," Lin Mu nodded and turned around to leave.

After Lin Mu was gone, Hei Wen took out a sheet of paper and quickly wrote down something on it before calling for the guards.

"Send this message to the lord, with our fastest messenger. It is of the utmost importance." Hei Wen ordered.

"It shall be done." The guard spoke before leaving to do his task.

A few minutes later, a hawk took flight from one of the windows of the town center and in its claws, it clutched the letter that Hei Wen had written. It took to the skies and disappeared into the clouds at an impressive speed.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu had just exited the town and was thinking of the things that he needed to do. Once he was at a sufficient distance from the town, he controlled his short sword to fly in front of him and jumped on it.

"Whoa!" Lin Mu said as he tried to balance himself.

This was the first time he had tried flying on his short sword and he had been looking forward to it.

~Swoosh~

Lin Mu started off slow, but soon sped up and short forward like an arrow.

"WOOHOO!" Lin Mu cried out in joy as he enjoyed the feeling of flying.

"Careful, you should watch your consumption of spirit qi, you are still not in the core condensation realm. While you can fly, the consumption will still be high." Xukong warned.

Lin Mu nodded and took a look into his dantian.

"Whoa!" Lin Mu exclaimed as he saw that about two drops of liquid spirit qi had been consumed in the five minutes that he had flown.

Lin Mu jumped down to the ground and his short sword returned to its sheath.

"Yup, I'll just run."
