Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu didn't have a hard time listening to the conversation of Lord Cai and the disciples of Tri cauldron peony sect. Though he was a bit anxious about being found out. 

"Seniors, please come in and we'll discuss more about the situation. I hope my Establishment and its people will serve you well." Lord Cai said before taking the three disciples inside.

As soon as Lin Mu heard this, he knew he had to listen to what they were going to talk about.

'I stole the seal from the Tri cauldron peony sect and also killed one of their disciples, I need to know what they are going to discuss.' Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu waited for them to enter the building before moving away. He had tried to go in directly using phase but found it to be impossible.

"They got barrier formations here too… Hmm considering it belongs to that lord Cai it makes sense." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Lin Mu was a bit reluctant to go in but knew that it would be necessary as he wanted to know what kind of a risk he was in. He went to an alley to the side and came out of the ground. He straightened his clothes and ensured that he looked fine. He didn't want to give away that he was the 'thief' in any way.

"Ah! It's that Young Lord!" Suddenly someone shouted when Lin Mu got near the building.

Then he felt his arm being squished between something soft and felt it to be a bit familiar.

"Looks like Young Lord finally made up his mind," said the woman who had caught Lin Mu before.

~Gulp~

Lin Mu looked at the lascivious looking woman and gulped his saliva. The voice of his mother appeared in his mind once again, but he was able to reassure him that he was here for a proper investigation. 

"Oh ho? Why doesn't the young Lord say anything? Do you not want to play with this little sister?" Spoke the woman.

'What 'little sister'? You are probably twice as old as me…' Lin Mu said in his mind.

"Umm, alright…" Lin Mu uttered in a low voice.

"Yay! Jun'er I'm taking this young lord in, you take the next one!" The woman said to another woman who was standing nearby.

"No fair Yue! I wanna take this young lord too, he's so handsome. Hehehe…" The woman named Jun'er spoke in a flirty tone.

Lin Mu felt the hair on the back of his neck stand as he heard the coy voice of Jun'er.

"Dangerous, these women are absolutely dangerous!" Lin Mu said in his mind.

"Ahaha! Look at you getting flustered. I thought humans were a bit more bold than this," Xukong teased.

"Well, if it's fine with the young lord, you can join too~~" Yue spoke while stroking the chest of Lin Mu.

"Uhh… I'm fine with just you…" Lin Mu uttered awkwardly.

Lin Mu definitely did not want another person clinging to him. As it would make it only more difficult for himself. He had already made up a plan in his mind to get rid of this woman named Yue that was clinging to him right now.

"Alright, then let's go in~" Yue said while dragging Lin Mu into the pavilion.

Inside, Lin Mu could smell the aroma of the various perfumes that the women here were wearing. There were incense censors placed in multiple places that also gave out a calming scent. Lin Mu felt as if his eyes were getting dull.

"Hmm… this is… nice…" Lin Mu muttered as his eyes turned a bit glazed.

The woman named Yue looked at his face with a seductive smile on her face. She started letting her hand wander on his chest when suddenly, terror filled her body. At first, she couldn't tell where it was coming from, but then she looked in the eyes of Lin Mu.

The eyes which were dull and glazed a moment ago were now fierce and sharp. Lin Mu's eyes made contact with Yue's and she felt a pain inside her mind. It was as if thousands of swords were flying around in Lin Mu's eyes and they would shoot out at any moment.

But then a second passed, and everything went to normal.

~huu~huu~huu~

Yue's breathing became a bit labored as she reeled in from the fear that she had just felt. 

'This boy… he's not simple.' Yue thought.

"Damn, I almost got drugged!" Lin Mu uttered in his mind.

"Indeed, that incense that is burning in the entire building has some kind of a drug mixed in. It dulls your sense and thinking, making you prone to reckless decisions. This is something that's used quite a lot in establishments like these." Xukong explained.

"But isn't this too strong? Won't the other people notice and be bothered by it?" Lin Mu asked.

"This is your first time coming in contact with it, that's why you felt the impact to be this strong. Most of the people here are habituated to it and would barely feel any effects." Xukong answered.

'Good, that I used severing heart sutra fast enough…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"That's not all, your physique that has nearly become Xiantian also helped you. Once it completely becomes a Xiantian physique, your resistance to poisons and drugs like this should rise." Xukong added.

Lin Mu internally nodded this and took note of this point. He looked at the woman who was clinging to him and realized for the first time that she actually was a person with seventh stage body tempering realm cultivation.

"That's a bit unexpected…" Lin Mu muttered.

"What's unexpected, Young lord?" Yue asked upon hearing his words.

Since she was stuck so close to him, it was easy to hear whatever that he spoke. In fact, she had heard him chant the severing heart sutra too, but due to the fear she felt at that moment, her mind had not registered that.

Lin Mu thought for a moment before deciding to speak.

"You being at the seventh stage body tempering realm." Lin Mu replied.
