Chapter 1105 Circumstances Of The Past

Lin Mu decided to do the same that he had done for the Ripple Mist Sect diciest for them.

"Go to the Green Mill city southwest of here. There is an alliance outpost there, they will take you in." Lin Mu spoke before making a token and giving it to them.

The disciples looked at the token and saw a character inscribed on it. They couldn't read it, but the appearance of it was rather profound to them. Jiao Fang looked over it and narrowed his eyes.

"Ordained?" He actually managed to read it.

"This means ordained, Senior Yulong?" The elder brother asked.

"Yes… just keep it to yourself and do as Senior Lin Mu said. Quickly leave the sect. The farther away you are from here, the better it will be for you." Jiao Fang replied, not intending to explain to them about the character.

"As you command Senior!" The disciples all cupped their hands and swiftly left.

The elder brother actually took out what looked like a large cart from his storage treasure. The cart expanded and became three times the original size. The rest of the disciples who couldn't fly as fast as the others jumped onto the cart and the elder brother controlled it.

~SHUA~

The cart took flight and disappeared beyond the hills. It was actually a spirit vehicle!

Once the disciples were gone, Jiao Fang looked back at Lin Mu.

"Shall we find a place to talk?" Jiao Fang asked.

"Yes… I also need to get some clues to the Gu Legion here." Lin Mu replied.

"I believe I can help you with that." Jiao Fang said with a smile.

"Of course… you joined them too, didn't you?" Lin Mu questioned.

"I did indeed… though for proper reasons." Jiao Fang said as he flew up. "Follow me," ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Noᴠelꜰire

Lin Mu followed behind the man while Little Shrubby went away to clean up. He had been given orders to gather anything valuable that he could find. Little Shrubby already had many spatial storage treasures with him, and he would be able to get tons of stuff.

And if he found something that he couldn't store or had reached full capacity, all he would need to do is to mark the place and Lin Mu would come to get it later on.

With the master and beast splitting up work, they became a lot more efficient.

'He's taking me to the main peak?' Lin Mu noticed.

Jiao Fang was flying towards the main peak of the Zither Wind sect. This was where all the higher ups of the sect lived and also where its great hall was located.

In less than two minutes they were there, and nothing could stop them as all the formation arrays had already broken down by now. There were still some disciples left here, but when they saw Lin Mu and Jiao Fang they quickly ran away.

The two of them didn't care much for them either and let them escape. These people were no threat to them.

Soon, the two of them were in the private chambers of the Patriarch of the Zither Wind sect.

"We'll talk here." Jiao Fang spoke.

"That's fine with me." Lin Mu causally spoke and scanned the chambers with his spirit sense.

He still didn't trust Jiao Fang fully and wanted to ensure that there was no trap here. Though Lin Mu wouldn't get injured or affected by most traps now.

"I believe you want to know why I've been doing all this?" Jiao Fang asked.

"You got that right. Speak… why would someone like you reach the Dao Treading realm this quickly, kill Wu Xun, join Gu Legion, and then go against them like this?" Lin Mu questioned in a row.

~Sigh~

"It all started from when you escaped from the Tri Cauldron Peony sect." Jiao Fang said and took a deep breath.

"When you had first spoken that you wanted to take things from the vaults, I had not believed you entirely. But then you proved me wrong and got everything you wanted. Not only that, but you also managed to escape the pursuit of the patriarch of the Tri Cauldron Sect and a lot of elders." Jiao fang spoke, a hint of awe in his eyes.

"After you were gone, I saw the effects it had on the sect. I saw the blatant blame game that was played among themselves. I soon understood that there was something sinister going on in the sect.

Thus I decided to leave the sect and learn more on my own. Then with some difficulties and a little help, I managed to fake my death and left the Tri Cauldron Peony sect.

That turned out to be the best decision I made as a later learned that most of the disciples of the Tri Cauldron Sect were forced into seclusion, quoting the lack of resources due to your theft.

The name of the 'Lightning Thief' could often be heard among the disciples and there were many that resented you. After all, it was only after your actions that their life became complicated and tough." Jiao Fang explained.

Hearing his words, Lin Mu could tell what must have happened in the Tri Cauldron Peony sect.

"Gu Yao turned the disciple into Pills of grace too, didn't he?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Yes… the disciples of the Tri Cauldron Peony sect were actually the first 'ingredients' to be used for it. They were the first test subject and it was only after three-quarters of the disciples were all drained and killed did Gu Yao stop his work.

Though the true reason behind his stopping was that he had already gained some success with it, and didn't need weaker disciples as much. The pills of Grace have been perfected over six years now." Jiao Fang answered, only making Lin Mu feel disgusted and angry about the traitor of the world.

"And what about you…? You are in the Dao Treading realm. I don't think that is possible to do so fast without very unique condition." Lin Mu questioned.

Jiao Fang was sure that Lin Mu would ask him questions about his cultivation, as it was easily the most shocking part about him. Forget Lin Mu, even he himself wouldn't have believed it in the past. And yet, it had become a fact.

"That is another story… though a part of it is something you should know already." Jiao Fang spoke.

"Yulong? That expert of the Zither Wind sect?" Lin Mu stated.

"Indeed. After the information I found in then sect: Yulong's mnemonics, I went on to discover more places where he had hidden resources and some skills. I found all of them two years after leaving the Tri Cauldron Peony sect.

And those resources were enough to let me break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

But when I found the last place where the resources were hidden by Yulong, I found something else there too." Jiao Fang said and took a pause.

Lin Mu continued listening to the man and was fully invested in his words now.

"What I found was not any resources in that location, but Yulong himself!" Jiao Fang stated.

"What? How's that possible? Wasn't Yulong an elder of the Zither wind sect and had died a while back?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Well, he was still… dead. But a part of him was alive." Jiao Fang said, surprising Lin Mu.

Of course Lin Mu knew that Nascent soul realm and above cultivators could survive even if their bodies were killed. They could switch to their Nascent Soul and avoid dying.

"Did you find a Nascent soul?" Lin Mu asked.

"No…. It was actually a full soul. After Yulong reached close to the end of his lifespan, he had already prepared a method of survival. He was in reality, a spy from the forbidden continent and had been present in The Great Zhou Empire for a long time.

And due to being from the Forbidden Continent, Yulong had access to certain northern Tribe techniques that were unique to them. In these techniques, he found one that could allow him to survive even after death.

And this wasn't the death one would face after their body died. But rather one in which their entire self was wiped out." Jiao Fang said, thatching Lin Mu's interest greatly.

"While I couldn't find the technique that Yulong had used, I could still know about it from his memories.

What the technique did was to kill the body of the user before they died naturally. Then the True Soul of the user would be transferred to their Nascent soul and all the spirit Qi and the rest of their cultivation base would be sealed in it too.

Yulong went several steps forward and even added several precious resources to it, increasing its value by severalfold.

Then, he left it in the tombs waiting for someone to find it." Jiao Fang finished speaking.

"And you came up it in the end… But that still doesn't explain how you reached the Dao Treading realm as even Yulong was only at the Nascent Soul realm, wasn't he?" Lin Mu asked in doubt.

"That is a part that Yulong had fooled everyone with.

He was actually at the peak of the Dao Shell realm. It was just that he had hidden it well and prevented others from learning about it.

And when I touched the vessel in which the soul of the man was kept in, I was merged with it directly!

Yulong tried to take over my body and wreaked havoc on it as well." Jiao Fang answered, much to Lin Mu's surprise.
