Walker Of The Worlds

~shua~

With the wave of Lin Mu’s hand, several formation components as well as spirit stones were withdrawn.

Kunzi was now utterly shocked.

Not because Lin Mu just showed they had resources, but because how Lin Mu had brought them out.

“Y-you… You have a spatial storage treasure?” Kunzi stuttered.

“Yes.” Lin Mu simply replied.

“H-how? They take everything from you before sending you in here.” Kunzi asked.

“They didn’t send him in here. He came from somewhere else.” Huyun Chuan answered this time.

“This was certainly not what I expected.” Kunzi was taken aback.

“Why would you come to the Land of exile though? You’re not even a convict are you?” Little Gian too had several questions.

“Well, it wasn’t my intention to come here. I just… ended up here somehow.” Lin Mu shrugged.

“And I’m guessing you want to get out?” Kunzi asked.

“Of course.” Lin Mu agreed. “But not just me.”

“Not just you?” Kunzi looked at Hundun Chuan.

“Noble Lin Mu has promised to take our entire tribe out of the Land of Exile.” A new voice was heard from the back.

Kunzi and Little Gian turned around to find a new person in the cave. Or rather, a Haima member.

~gulp~

But Kunzi swallow his saliva sensing the power coming from the new person.

‘Dao Treading realm? That too not at the initial stage. At least at the Embryo growth stage?’ Kunzi wondered.

“Ah, Elder Niji. You came at the perfect timing.” Lin Mu said with a smile.

“I heard your words already. Seems like our luck is finally turning around.” Elder Niji replied.

“Indeed. The first of our solutions seem to be close now.” Lin Mu spoke with hope.

“Then we should speed up our preparations too.” Elder Niji stated. _{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇl}

“Of course. We need to hurry. I’ll get the beacon ready first and hope that those Immortals from Huyun Clan spot it.” Lin Mu picked up a few materials. “How about I write a large banner that says ‘Huyun Chuan is here’.” He suggested.

“Ahah, that is bound to catch their attention.” Elder Niji chuckled.

“Are you… really going to leave the land of Exile?” Kunzi asked in a serious tone.

“Of course.” Lin Mu replied.

~THUD~

But then in the next moment Lin Mu was taken aback.

“Please… take us with you.” Kunzi directly kneeled on the ground.

~thud~

Little Gian followed his lead and joined him in kneeling. “Yes! Please take us out of here too.”

“I…” but before Lin Mu could even reply, Kunzi interrupted him.

“I’ll offer you everything that I’ve obtained from the auction! All the cultivation techniques as well as immortal skills!” Kunzi offered right away.

“This…” Lin Mu raised his brows in surprise.

He wouldn’t have minded taking the two of them with him since he was taking an entire tribe. But getting something in exchange was certainly a welcome. Plus, since the two weren’t any heinous criminals there wasn’t any guilt either.

‘Though just to be sure,’ Lin Mu’s expression turned cold in that moment.

Kunzi, Little Gian and Huyun Chuan all felt a heavy pressure on them. If it weren’t for the fact that Kunzi and Little Gian were already kneeling, they might have just fallen on the ground from the pressure.

“Before I accept your offer, I want to ask you something.” Lin Mu stated.

“P-please ask…” Kunzi stammered.

“Have you committed any heinous crimes? You know what kind I’m asking.” Lin Mu asked firmly, a dangerous aura spreading from him.

Kunzi had felt such an aura several times in the past. It was pure killing intent which could only be developed after years of battle and killing.

‘He might just kill us if I don’t answer him.’ Kunzi realized.

“And just to warn you… I’ll know if you lie.” Lin Mu added.

“N-no… We’ve only ever stolen.” Kunzi answered, but then seeing the look in Lin Mu’s eyes he almost yelped. “We’ve also killed people. But not as bandits! We’ve never robbed someone by killing.” He empathized.

But Lin Mu’s cold look never moved from him.

“The only times we killed was when we were in danger or were threated. You must understand the life of a cultivator!” Kunzi almost shouted.

For a few seconds, Lin Mu’s gaze continued to linger on them. Breathing had become almost impossible and even their eyes were starting to turn red.

“Hmm… truth.” Lin Mu withdrew the pressure.

~thud~thud~thud~

Kunzi, Little Gian and Huyun Chuan all three collapsed onto the ground, unable to stay in their posture.

“Haaa…  HAA… Haaa…” The three of them panted, feeling like their lives were almost snuffed out in that moment.

“Well then, seems like we have relatively decent humans for a change this time.” Elder Niji clapped his hand and stepped forward with a smile.

Unlike the three humans, Elder Niji was completely unaffected. Or rather, Lin Mu had simply contained his area of effect.

“Indeed. I’ll take you up on that offer, Kunzi.” Lin Mu replied.

“O… okay…” Kunzi replied, turning his head on the ground.

“I’ll get started on the beacon Elder Niji. Can you get them updated?” Lin Mu requested.

“Of course Noble Lin Mu.” Elder Niji knew what Lin Mu meant.

~shua~

Then with a nod, Lin Mu disappeared.

Elder Niji let Kunzi and Little Gian recover for five minutes before speaking, “you two should know how we’re going to proceed them.”

While elder Niji talked to them about the plan, Lin Mu had appeared at the top of the mountain.

“This should be good enough. Though I’ll need to add more anchor points.” Lin Mu started planning the beacon.

About fifteen minutes later, he had the initial plan.

First there was going to be a sky piercing light beacon and then an illusory banner made from runes would hang from it. The banner would read ‘Huyun Chuan is here’ in very large words.

‘If this doesn’t attract their attention, then we might just be out of luck.’ Lin Mu reckoned.
