Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 643 - Heading To The Mu Clan

Lin Mu and Jing Luo considered Jingming Shang’s proposition for a few minutes and eventually nodded.

"We shall do it then. Though finding a solution would be the hard part." Lin Mu said.

"Hmm... I’ll try to see what I can do as well. My clan did have several methods of doing so, but I don’t know if they would work on them as well or more specifically on their bloodline." Jing Luo stated.

"That will be fine. As long as we do an effort, Miss Fen and her clan will be grateful. She... isn’t a vengeful woman and is only acting with the others because of her clan’s circumstances.

Plus, if we are able to awaken the Fen Clan’s Bloodline, we may even be able to rope in the Fenlong Royal family since they are related as well." Jingming Shang added.

"Alright then, I guess we should start from here." Lin Mu spoke, looking at the city.

"What will you be doing first?" Jing Luo asked.

"I’ll go talk to the Mu clan and see how their situation is. I’ll monitor them for a bit before actually talking to them, though. As for Jingming Shang, you should go and talk with Shantung and join up in their plan.

Jing Luo can go and monitor the other members of the council and see if he can find any more clues or information." Lin Mu directed.

"I shall take my leave then. If you want to rest, feel free to come back here to my residence." Jingming Shang said before leaving the residence.

Once Jingming Shang was gone, Jing Luo looked at Lin Mu with a serious expression on his face.

"You think these people will be worth it?" Jing Luo questioned.

"If there is one thing I’ve learned in these past years is that underestimating people can be the biggest mistake one can make. There is a great cultivator who I read about, he said:

’The potential of humans is endless and there are a million Dao’s hidden in one’s body. No one knows when one will gain enlightenment and ascend to the heavens.’" Lin Mu said, reciting the words of the Lost immortal that he had read.

Hearing Lin Mu, Jing Luo was lost in thought. He felt like he had gained something from this and was impressed.

"This cultivator must have been a peerless expert of his time," Jing Luo commented.

"Indeed, he was..." Lin Mu said with a hint of melancholy in his voice.

Jing Luo didn’t notice this and simply left to do work on his own.

~Sigh~

Lin Mu lightly shook his head and blinked away, his destination the Mu clan.

The courtyard of the Mu clan was rather large and was not located in the city itself. Rather, it was located on the south eastern cliff of the area. It was a relatively picturesque area that overlooked the vast ocean on one end and the city on the forest on the other side.

It was a good location for defending against attackers as well as they would only need to defend on side. Though this also meant that they would have a hard time escaping themselves if they got overwhelmed.

Lin Mu floated up in the sky while looking down at the courtyard. His spirit sense sweeping across the area, letting him observe each and every person there.

"They really do have very few people for a courtyard this large..." Lin Mu muttered.

The courtyard was a large community courtyard with multiple smaller courtyards located within it. There was enough space to accommodate over five hundred people comfortably, but currently, there were only eighty seven people in the entire courtyard.

"The Mu clan certainly suffered a lot." Lin Mu muttered.

His spirit sense checked the identity of the people and he soon had a result. Only ten people in the entire courtyard were those of the Mu clan. All the remaining people were the servants of the clan.

"This was supposed to be an aristocratic clan... and now there are barely any people left." Lin Mu said as he tried to find the current head of the Mu clan, Mu Tao.

After a few seconds of search, Lin Mu found him in a place that was located beneath the courtyard. It was an underground area that seemed to function as the secret area of the clan where they had their vault and stored precious items.

There were formation arrays to defend against spying here, but to Lin Mu could still sense the presence of the three people inside there.

"Let’s take a look..." Lin Mu said as he disappeared.

A few seconds later, he appeared on the ground and sank into it, directly heading to the hidden underground area. Once he reached the barrier that blocked him from going further, Lin Mu created an opening using the formation manipulation skills that he had improved in the past year in Sleepscape.

Lin Mu’s skill in modifying already made formations was far better than making them from scratch and thus it didn’t take him even a minute before he was able to enter it without alerting the owners of the formation array.

"There we go... though it feels a bit wrong entering like this. But if I don’t know the true situation of the Mu clan, it will be hard to judge. It’s not like they would reveal their vulnerability so easily..." Lin Mu justified to himself.

Lin Mu hid in the walls and listened to the conversation going in the hall. There was a young twenty year old man sitting at a wide table with a frustrated expression. At the other side of the hall, a teenage girl was standing while crying and another man that looked to be in his forties was standing in front of the young man with a helpless expression.

It was evident that they had been having some kind of an argument for a while now. Though Lin Mu’s attention was on the young man at the table.

"That must be Mu Tao."
