An encounter with the Northern Tribes' commoners was certainly not what Lin Mu had expected today.

He would have understood if it were the Northern Tribes' cultivators or soldiers, but these were clearly the peasants.

But after the village head explained everything to Lin Mu and Jing Luo, they understood why such a strange situation had taken place and why the village was here.

"So you're telling me a priest from the Kiwa tribe came and told you that he would take your village to a better land?" Lin Mu asked after hearing the account from the village head.

"Y-yes, my lord!" The village head hurriedly replied.

"Hmm…" Lin Mu rubbed his chin as he thought over the entire thing which seemed a bit absurd to him.

What had happened to these villagers seemed a bit of a pity to Lin Mu.

The village head was apparently from one of the many subordinate villages under the Kiwa tribe. The Kiwa Tribe was one of the big clans of the Northern Tribes and its patriarch was one of the Dao Treading realm members.

Lin Mu knew all this since he had gotten quite a lot of information from Ku Waowen.

The village this man lived in was among the very small ones and only had a population of barely two hundred. They lived in a bad patch of land and didn't have many resources. They could barely even afford to feed themselves not to mention trade.

The land was barren and frozen, not allowing them to grow any crops. Their only means of sustenance were the lakes near their village that had plenty of fish. Thus their village was a fishing village that greatly depended on it.

Thus upon hearing that a priest from the Kiwa tribe was offering them a chance to relocate to a better place, the village head took it right away.

The land in the Forbidden continent was harsh, and the land which was fertile and could grow things was the most valuable. Thus according to the laws of the Northern Tribes, it was strictly forbidden for the villagers to move their village without the permission of a priest or a tribe chieftain.

Besides, the villagers were not in a position of moving around anywhere nearby either as their village was already in a good place for their region. If they went anywhere else, they would only be moving in a bad area.

All the areas that were good were long since occupied. And the few that were still free were in distant locations and filled with dangers.

The priest offered to move the villagers on one condition, it being that they do not ask any questions and if anyone else asks them, not to answer them either. The priest then took them to a particular location, that was an old shrine.

The shrine was big enough to accommodate all the villagers and contained a large formation array. One by one, the villagers were sent into it and they all disappeared. They were told that this thing would take them to the best location for them.

"When you arrived you say there were only eighty of you left?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Yes… I… we… don't know where the others went. We tried searching around in the past years, but were unable to get any traces of them." The Village head spoke. "We feared… they had died during whatever happened at the time." He added, his voice feeling heavy.

"I see.. And that's how you all ended up making a village here?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, my lords." The village head confirmed.

Silence descended in the room as the village head waited for Lin Mu's response. But instead of him, he got a question from someone else.

"This place you all arrived at… we'd like you to take us there." Jing Luo stated.

"O-of course! It would be our pleasure!" The village head replied.

Lin Mu and Jing Luo turned around and started to walk, while the Village head quickly hurried behind them.

"Umm… my lords, the place is a bit far from here. Would it be fine if I take some supplies with me?" the village head asked.

"How far is it approximately from here?" Lin Mu asked.

"About two hundred kilometers." The Village head answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu understood why the village head was a bit afraid. This distance was rather long even for a seventh stage body tempering realm warrior like the village head and it would take him a couple of days to travel that much.

Besides, there was also the fact that there was a difference in status between that man and Lin Mu, thus he didn't think that Lin Mu would lower himself to carry him or something.

But he was in for a surprise.

Lin Mu looked at Jing Luo and spoke, "take that out."

~shua~

Jing Luo waved his hand and an old item that Lin Mu had not seen for a while appeared.

"This…" The village head was shocked.

In front of him was a boat that was better than anything he had ever seen in his lifetime. And not just that, it was a boat that could float in the air.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking that he might have still need dreaming. But then realized that it was all real.

'A boat like this… a spirit vehicle… just who are these esteemed lords? Are they from the capital?' the village head wondered.

"Get in." Lin Mu ordered.

"Right away!" the village head said before jumping into the spirit boat.

Jing Luo and Lin Mu did the same as the boat started to rise up. The other villagers too saw it and were stunned. Some of them directly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, saying things in a language Lin Mu didn't understand.

Though he could tell that they were basically nothing but prayers for the Northern Tribes.

~whoosh~

The spirit boat flew away at a rapid speed.

"You said it is in the south from here?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Y-yes." The village head answered, trying to keep his composure.
