Walker Of The Worlds

Jia Chuanli was the name of the Centennial Sword sect's patriarch and he was of the same generation as the patriarchs of the Long cloud alliance.

"Oh? Do you wish to not even give us the proper explanation?" Jia Chuanli asked.

"You all have already seen Gu Yao and his Gu Legion, along with all that they did. Three sects have fallen and you still don't see the danger?" Patriarch Mingling said.

"That was Gu Yao. Even if he is suspected to be part of the Northern Tribes, we cannot say for sure that they would attack us. There is no way they would do this when our ancestors are still holding the ground." The Patriarch of the Rainbow pill sect stated.

"The Immortal Ascension realm ancestors of yours are no longer a good enough reason for them to hold back. We were not lying when we said that they too have their own Immortal Ascension realm cultivators now." This time Patriarch Hua spoke up.

"And who is it that told you this? As far as I know, no signs of a breakthrough were witnessed in the past thousand years for an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator. Perhaps all these are just rumors." Jia Chuanli replied.

"Was it perhaps the same person who is behind the extermination of the Zither Wind alliance? That… Lin Mu, who told you all this?" The Rainbow Pill sect Patriarch mocked.

"QUAN CHAO!" Patriarch Shandian said in a threatening voice.

"So I was right. Don't forget that man is a criminal wanted by the top three sects. If you dare to associate with him, you all will face charges relative to that." The patriarch of the Rainbow pill sect, Quan Chao, replied without fear.

~Sigh~

Seeing all this, Patriarch Hua let out a sigh. "I pity you."

"What was that?" Jia Chuanli raised his brows.

"I pity you all… time after time you try to go against Lin Mu… when he's been saving you all. I'll only say this once, if you go against him now, you'll be going against us all." Patriarch Hua said firmly, his expression straight.

"Is this the official stance of your alliance?" Patriarch Tian of the Sky Precepts sect questioned.

"It is indeed." Patriarch Yi You answered.

"Fine… we shall decide what the fate of the Long Cloud alliance will be then." Jia Chuanli said in response, earning a glare from Patriarch Tian.

"That is not what I said, Patriarch Jia Chuanli." Patriarch Tian quickly spoke. "Do not push things into a conclusion without getting the facts right." He warned.

"Is patriarch Tian afraid of them now?" Quan Chao asked with a grin.

"This is enough, we will leave now. We now see how foolish it was to come here. We've done what we came here for though, and have warned you. What happens next will be on your head." Patriarch Yi You said before standing up.

"Hmm… you all don't know the mistake you are making. Regardless, you all will come to regret it." Patriarch Hua said before walking out of the hall.

Seeing him leave, Patriarch Tian furrowed his brows, but the other two didn't care.

"Do you feel the same, Patriarch Mingliang? Will you participate in this foolishness and support that Lin Mu?" Quan Chao asked. "Our sects have old links, so it would be bad if your sect is gone."

"Hahah! You surely jest Quan Chao… You do not even know who you are challenging. Do you really think the person who can exterminate three of the top sects can't do it again? It is not us who have to be afraid, but you all who need to reflect.

Repent and perhaps you might be spared. Lin Mu is not someone you want to offend." Patriarch Mingliang said in a serious tone.

He turned around after saying that and walked to the exit of the hall. But just as he reached the doors, he paused and turned around for a moment.

"And if you do not fear him even now, then know that he is not alone. You might be able to hold him back, but his background is something this entire world cannot deal with." Patriarch Mingliang said one last time before flying away.

Once the four patriarchs of the alliance were gone, the top three patriarchs were left to their devices.

"They are grasping at straws." Jia Chuanli chuckled.

"I do not think so, patriarch Jia." This time the person who spoke was actually an elder of the Sky precepts sect. "Patriarch Tian, I think we should take their words seriously. We've done independent investigations into this Lin Mu and the rise in his power is not normal." High Elder Han said.

"Please tell us what you have found, high Elder Han." Patriarch Tian asked.

"From our older investigations that went incomplete in the past, I found several links. This Lin Mu is none other than the Lin Mu, who we thought was behind the incident of the Tri Cauldron Peony sect.

Additionally, now that we know that the man named Gu Yao was behind it all, it absolves Lin Mu of the older charges. And since he managed to kill Several Dao Treading realm cultivators with ease, I do not think Patriarch Mingliang was lying.

Someone of this caliber cannot be without a background. He certainly has someone supporting him… someone that can affect this entire world." High Elder Han explained.

"All this is just hearsay. For all we know, this could all be a coincidence. Having a background as strong as you are describing is impossible. We are the strongest background in this world!" Quan Chao stated.

"Oh, fear not Patriarchs. I prepared all the reports and records. I assure you that you will be satisfied. Please read them and make your own conclusions." High Elder Han replied before waving his hand.

Several hundred scrolls and documents appeared on the table, ready for all of them to check.

"Please look through them first, Patriarch Quan Chao, Patriarch Jia Chuanli." Patriarch Tian spoke up as well.
