Walker Of The Worlds

Ku Waowen's explanation lasted a long time, and the three elders were rather serious after hearing it all. It didn't take them long to verify a lot of facts, since Ku Waowen could also tell some of the secrets of the Long Cloud sect.

These secrets were enough to send them into a tizzy. They couldn't help but want to inform the sect right away about the potential spies there were within them.

~huu~

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, having heard everything.

"Now, do you understand what kind of a situation our world is in?" Lin Mu asked. "This is not the time to be involved in petty squabbles of the sects. We need to focus on the important parts!"

The three elders stayed silent and did not speak. Their silence lasted for five minutes after which Elder Boqin was the first to speak.

"Fine… we'll inform the others in our sect." Elder Boqin said. "But on one condition," He added.

"Ask away." Lin Mu replied.

"We need that old woman. The elders of the Long Cloud sect would like to do a more thorough interrogation." Elder Boqin stated.

"Sure. Feel free to take her with you. We are done with her here, anyway." Lin Mu replied. "Just make sure she doesn't try to kill herself, she's already tried that before." He added.

"You don't need to worry about that, we have our means to ensure she lives…" Elder Boqin assured.

"Besides… we don't even need her to be able to speak. All that we need is her brain." Elder Wenyan said as a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

To them, if all this was even half true, it would be the greatest scandal that would have happened in the cultivator world of Xiaofan world in a long time. They knew that if everything turned out to be true, the very fabric of sects would have to change.

And this was just in the case of the alliances; once the Top three sects found out, they would be in an uproar and would want to get back the face they had lost. A war would be the smallest thing that would happen.

They were potentially looking at an entire upheaval.

"Very well. Considering the implications of it all, it is best we leave for our sect as soon as possible." Elder Boqin spoke.

"That's right. But you won't be leaving alone." Jing Luo suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean?" Elder Peizhi questioned in confusion.

"You three have already seen the Kong plane, right?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Ah yes! That was something we had not expected for you to have." Elder Boqin replied.

"So you already know the advantage it has in covering large distances. For that, I want to establish another teleportation gate in the Long Cloud sect. This way we would be able to travel to our allies quickly and provide support when needed." Lin Mu spoke.

"Hmm… While that is indeed useful, I'm not sure the sect would allow that to be placed inside due to the security aspects of it." Elder Boqin replied.

"That is already in our considerations. No one can enter the Kong plane without my approval or without the key they need for it. Besides, I will be demanding an oath from everyone involved, just to ensure that Gu Yao does not control them and to weed out potential spies." Lin Mu said.

"An oath like that cannot be taken lightly. Besides, there are ways to break them and even fool it." Elder Wenyan said with concern.

"Not if I'm the one who heads the oath," Lin Mu said in a strange tone.

The moment he said that, a pattern appeared on his forehead and a pressure exuded from his body. The pressure descended on everyone in the hall and made them feel as if they were being watched from every inch.

They couldn't express it easily and felt like the air had gained eyes.

"This… what is this?" Elder Peizhi said, feeling a bit scared.

The three of them were simply Adult Soul stage nascent soul realm cultivators, thus they had not felt Lin Mu's cultivation base yet. But now it was in full display, along with the ordainment of the world itself.

"Dao shell realm…" Elder Boqin muttered before swallowing his saliva.

The three elders gazed at each other before looking at Patriarch Hua, who looked at them with knowing smiles.

"Patriarch Hua certainly likes to tease us. Why did you not inform us that Senior Lin Mu was a Dao Shell realm expert?" Elder Boqin said with a wry smile.

While patriarch Hua looked like a genial old man, he was still very experience and shrewd. If not for that, there was no way he would have been able to run one of the top ten sects and still maintain its position.

He had very cleverly held back certain bits of information which he knew could be used as leverage later on. One such thing being Lin Mu's cultivation base. If the Long Cloud sect knew he was at the Dao Shell realm, they would have sent other elders who were equivalent to that to negotiate, but now they couldn't help but be in a passive position.

And it was not like they could have expected this either. In no reality would they have thought that Lin Mu would be at the Dao Shell realm. To them, he was at most in the Nascent soul realm, which was still a bit understandable.

There were a lot of questions that arrived in their mind including the fact that Lin Mu was very young. While there were a lot of false rumors at the start about him being an old expert disguising as a teenager, the sects would be very stupid to believe them without verifying it on their end.

That was the reason why they had the information about Lin Mu's parents as well, since they had actually gotten everything about his background verified.

'This… the high elders won't be able to resist now…' Elder Boqin thought.
