Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu was standing high up in the sky, and the clouds were beneath him.

This was the highest he had ever reached flying on his own and it would have been a surreal expression if not for the fact that Lin Mu was here for a serious situation. Peering through the clouds, Lin Mu's eyes gazed upon the few buildings below.

Around the building, there were several hundred tents, half of which were broken and destroyed. There were fires raging in some of the areas, while some areas were filled with ground that had been upturned.

The signs of battles were clearly present, though no battle seemed to be currently ongoing.

"Where is everyone?" Lin Mu wondered.

He couldn't see anyone on the ground just from his eyes thus he extended his spirit sense.

~shua~

In the next moment, his spirit sense rained down like hail and covered the entire area before penetrating deep into the ground, showing him all that was hidden.

There, Lin Mu finally found the people he had been looking for.

~WHOOSH~

In the next moment, Lin Mu stopped flying and let his body drop down.

~BOOM~

His speed of falling continued to increase until he broke through the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom. The sound was loud enough for the people hiding underground to hear it as well.

"What was that?" A disciple wearing the robes of the Black dune sect asked.

There were several injuries on his body, and one of his eyes seemed to be missing as well.

"Dammit, is it another group of those Gu Legion bastards?" Another disciple scorned.

All the disciples quickly became alert and started to prepare for whatever that was coming. But not even a second later, they heard a faint voice in the underground hall where they were.

"Phase…"

"WHO!?" A bald elder wearing a hood shouted.

There were bloodstains all over his robes, but he himself didn't seem to be injured. His aura was also rather strong, being at the Shell Initiation stage of the Dao Shell realm. But then they all saw a man materializing in front of them.

As if appearing out of thin air, Lin Mu looked mystical to them at that moment. His body had gotten larger and his muscles had increased in size as well. His face was handsome and his jaw bone looked like it was chiseled out of the finest marble.

His long hair hung loosely over his back as a golden sheen highlighted it. The golden sheen was coming from none other than Lin Mu's skin, making him look like a deity that had appeared.

While all the disciples of the Black Dune sect were staring at Lin Mu, he too glanced at them.

~shua~

His spirit sense did a quick sweep, overwhelming the disciples enough that they all took a step back.

"Fifty six with light injuries, thirteen with heavy injuries and two dead…" Lin Mu assessed.

Upon hearing his voice though, an identity appeared in the minds of the disciples.

"Alliance leader Lin Mu!?" They all said in unison.

Even if Lin Mu's appearance might be different, they could never forget his voice. After all, the oath that he had taken with many others had been recorded and replayed in all three sects.

The disciples had already taken him as an idol and there was no lack of those that wanted to learn from Lin Mu either.

Back then, it was mostly the elders who had seen Lin Mu face to face, but the elders had gotten portraits of Lin Mu to be shown to the disciples. So now every disciple knew of Lin Mu.

~step~step~step~

"Greetings alliance leader Lin Mu… I can't tell you how grateful I am for you to be here," The Dao Shell realm elder of the black dune sect said while cupping his hands.

"GREETINGS ALLIANCE LEADER LIN MU!" Hearing their elder talk, the disciples joined in as well.

"It is nice to meet you all too… though I wished it was under different conditions." Lin Mu said with a tinge of regret.

"It is all good now that you are finally here, alliance leader Lin Mu." The disciples said with joy.

Even the ones that were injured seemed to be happy all of a sudden. Still, it wasn't enough to put a smile on Lin Mu's face.

"I would have liked to talk more, but we have more pressing matters at hand. The elders of the Long Cloud sect told me you needed help?" Lin Mu stated.

"Of course, it is completely understandable." The Dao Shell realm elder spoke.

"We did need help before, but we managed to push the Gu Legion members back." One of the disciple standing next to the elder spoke.

He had a cultivation base that seemed to be the highest among the disciples here right now, being at the Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm.

"You did? What exactly happened? I didn't get any details before." Lin Mu said in response.

"Very well. Please, come to my quarters. I'll brief you on it." The elder said before turning to the disciples. "You all should rest and recover. We don't know how long we'll have before they return."

Lin Mu nodded in agreement and followed behind the elder. The disciples all split up and went to do their respective. Some went to heal their injuries while some helped them. Other than the elder, the disciple at the Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm also came to the quarters.

"Please take a seat, Alliance Leader." The elder spoke. "My name is—"

"Elder Zhan, I remember." Lin Mu interrupted the bald man.

The bald man raised his brows in surprise and smiled before taking a seat as well.

"I'm honored that you remember me, even though we only had a short acquaintance back then." Elder Zhan replied.

"If I am to be an alliance leader, isn't it important for me to remember the names of my allies?" Lin Mu stated with a hint of respect in his eyes.
