Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 646 - Pulling In The Mu Clan



Mu Tao and Mu Niu could very well see the anger in Lin Mu's eyes and knew that it was true. Emotions such as those could not be faked and they would know the best, since they had once felt the same.

"How will you help us, senior? We have nothing to compensate you with." Mu Tao said respectfully.

Now that it was established that Lin Mu was not here to harm them and only wanted to help them, he wondered at what cost help like that came. Even if Lin Mu had said that they had the same enemies, it did not mean help like thee could be free.

"Rather than just helping, I would say this would be an alliance. The person targeting you is far more powerful than you think. In fact, the one that previously attacked you was merely just a subordinate of that man.

Right now, I'll help you stabilize the Mu clan and exterminate the enemies that are close. Once that is done, we will be able to progress further." Lin Mu replied, before explaining the entire situation to them.

Having learned that such machinations were happening in the world, the trio were shocked, to say the least. They were even more surprised when they learned that Lin Mu was 'the Lin Mu' who all the sects were searching for.

"So that's why they targeted us…" Mu Bing muttered.

"I'm sorry that all this happened to your clan. Perhaps if I had chosen some other name at that time, your family may have still been safe." Lin Mu replied.

Upon hearing his words, Mu Tao and Mu Niu shook their heads.

"No senior. Regardless of you using our name, they would have still attacked us." Mu Tao said.

"Why's that so?" Lin Mu questioned, wanting to know the entire situation.

"We managed to suppress this matter with great difficulty by doing some misdirection, but the truth behind the attack is that they wanted the secret inheritance of our clan." Mu Tao answered.

"Hmm… that bloodline vault below this hall." Lin Mu replied.

Mu Niu's eyes went wide for a moment, but he then understood it.

~Sigh~

"So you've already seen it… doesn't matter now. Not like we can make use of that vault, anyway." Mu Niu stated.

"Tell me about this vault? What is inside it exactly? I know that the Mu clan is descended from the Mulong clan of the western continent and that they were experts in puppets." Lin Mu said in a calm tone, putting his cards on the table.

Mu Tao felt even more shocked after hearing that their ancestry was known by Lin Mu already.

"You know this too? Senior's scope of knowledge is profound." Mu Tao said in a stunned voice.

"It didn't know it myself, a friend of mine told me about it." Lin Mu spoke.

"As senior said, the Mu clan is an offshoot of the Mulong clan of the western continent that no longer exists. Even I didn't know about my ancestors until my father, the former patriarch, died and I was given the access to the ancient records of our clan.

There, I learned the truth of my clan and why we were really attacked. The attacker… Gu Yao or whoever came at that time wanted our inheritance. Thankfully, our ancestors were wise and made it so that the vault could only be opened by the direct members of our bloodline.

My father's younger brothers… my uncles sacrificed their lives by opening the vault and unsealed the power of the ancestors to repel the attackers. But even then, it was not enough to kill them all, and we merely managed to push them back.

Ever since then, they had not attacked us, but we knew that they would come one day. And now we have confirmation that they are indeed targeting us… it's just their method that has now changed." Mu Tao explained.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this from Mu Tao.

"So you're saying that only the people who have the direct bloodline of the family can open it right?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes senior." Mu Tao replied.

"Then why has the vault closed, and you needed so many people to open it? That too needing them to sacrifice their lives?" Lin Mu questioned.

"That… the truth is senior… our bloodline has gotten thinner over the generations and thus the vault does not recognize us easily. Those that are from the branch of uncle Niu aren't even considered to be from the same family as us by the vault." Mu Tao said.

"Indeed. If it were possible, I would have already sacrificed myself to open that vault." Mu Niu said.

"I see… no matter what, we need to open that vault if we are to make you stronger. Your current strength is far from enough to go against them right now." Lin Mu said without sugar coating it.

"We know, senior… but how will we open the vault? In our records, it was mentioned that even a Dao Treading realm cultivator would be unable to open it and neither would their attacks would do anything to it.

And if someone forcefully tried to manipulate the formations, the vault would just self destruct, destroying all the contents." Mu Tao replied.

"Don't worry, we'll figure it out. But before that, we need to take care of the other council members." Lin Mu said, before telling them about the plan they had made.

Lin Mu also told them about the Fen clan and taking them in as potential allies.

"Miss Fen… she has indeed been genial to the Mu clan till now. We've had some good deals before and I think she is the only council member that has been cooperative with our clan even now." Mu Niu spoke.

Lin Mu nodded his head and thought that if even the Mu clan had this kind of an impression of the Fen clan and in turn Miss Fen, she might really be a worthy ally to recruit to their cause.
