Chapter 2366  Link To An Old Incident

The group was gathered back at the Second Offering Hall upon Lin Mu's safe return.

His attempt at recovering the contents of the Black Fin Island member's spatial storage treasures had given a meager return.

"So a badge, a dagger and a bunch of immortal stones… That's already several times higher than what an average Spatial Master might be able to recover in the same conditions… if they could even do something like opening rifts casually." Ziran said, still finding it unbelievable the ease with which Lin Mu opened them.

While he had no master of the Spatial Element, he had seen enough to tell when it was really easy and when someone was making it 'seem easy' due to their skill.

In Lin Mu's case, it was as casual as plucking a fox nut from a pond.

"How's the process with the badge going?" Lin Mu asked, bringing Ziran and the others out of their thoughts.

"This is going to take a while," Daoist Chu replied. "I've never seen an encryption like this. I can't seem to even find what can be the unlock node." He stated.

"Hmm… We'll take a look together later." Lin Mu replied. "That'll be good." Daoist Chu nodded.

"What about that dagger?" Elder Hu asked, looking at the six inch long blade kept calmly on a stone pedestal. "Is it the same as the others?"

"No, unlike the other's its formations are still intact." Lin Mu answered. "Seems like being cut off from the space caused it to not react to the death of the owner." He added.

"That's good… I suppose." Qiao De spoke. "Though… it looks a bit familiar to me." He added.

"It does?" Crown Prince Feng Shun looked at the man. "Yes… but I can't seem to place it." The merchant said, rubbing his coarse beard.

The six inch long dagger was black, as if its blade had been scorched and covered with soot. Its handle was black too, but this time the black color had come from actual paint. But this was no normal paint, but a special paint used in the creation of talismans and formations.

There were in fact, hundreds of runes written on the dagger's handle, but due to the sheer amount of times they had been overwritten, it seemed like the entire handle was just painted black plainly. Only upon inspecting with one's Immortal Sense closely would one realize that the paint on the handle wasn't equal, but had minuscule bumps and ridges due to the different strokes that had been used on it.

The blade of the dagger was made out of a metal that Lin Mu recognized to be Venom Impregnated Lead. It was a special metal that was made by soaking common Soft Grey Lead in a special mixture of Corrosive Venoms. This would dissolve in the Corrosive Venoms and nothing would be left of it. But then this new mixture would have to be left sealed in a dark place for at least a thousand years before opening.

Upon opening an entirely new metal that was a lot tougher than the common Soft Grey Lead would be formed. This was what was known as Venom Impregnated lead.

It was a special metal that could technically be created mortals too, and in fact had been discovered by them in times immemorial. But repeating this process was impossible for almost all mortals as the time needed to make the Venom Impregnated Lead was simply too long for their lifespan.

But eventually this was discovered by cultivators, and the method was fully established.

The combination of this metal with the formations that were added to the dagger made it highly durable, while also being very dangerous. It could cut through flesh with ease, as it would simply corrode it upon touching.

Even a lot of other materials would be corroded by it, thus it was effective on many defensive tools too.

To Lin Mu, this seemed like the perfect weapon for someone from the Black Fin Islands to use.

"Wait!" But as he was thinking that, Qiao De seemed to have recalled something. "I think… it might be…" he said before taking out a rather large register.

It was about thirty inches in width and eighty inches in length while being about ten inches thick!

~FLAP~

The register flipped open and its pages started to flutter as Qiao De used his Immortal Sense to control it.

About a minute later, he finally stopped on a certain page, before a formation screen appeared on top of it.

~SHUA~

A string of sentences appeared on the formation screen along with an image.

'A sudden battle happened in the Skylark city during which involved Cao Tianyi of the former Cao clan and Luo Tu of the Luo Clan. Cao Tianyi ambushed Luo Tu but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the Steel Horned General Niu Juo. But the assailant eventually killed him with self detonation despite the interference of the Steel Horned General.

Involvement of several nobles was confirmed in this, having been backing Cao Tianyi.

In this attack, Cao Tianyi was provided several items in the assassination listed below.' Everyone read the report before glancing at the list of items.

Among these items, there was a particular one that seemed to be listed along with an image. It was that of none other than a black dagger.

"Whoa… It really is the same." Daoist Chu was surprised seeing the image of the dagger.

"Well, to be specific, it's of the same type but not the exact one." Qiao De replied, his brows furrowed. "The original was confiscated as evidence." He added.

Lin Mu who saw the image though, was the most surprised. 'Its this one!?' he couldn't help but recall the day that he met Niu Juo.

It was a rather explosive meeting, and Lin Mu had been one of the spectators in the battle between Luo Tu and Cao Tianyi.

It was a sudden battle that Lin Mu had done his best to avoid getting involved in.
