Walker Of The Worlds

Having conversed and discussed the current situation, Lin Mu and Elder Zhan finally came up with the plan of action.

"I will then pursue the Gu Legion members and if I find them, I'll extract all the information I can from them. Perhaps we'll also get the information about the communication jamming formations and where they are hidden." Lin Mu spoke.

"That'll be the best." Elder Zhan replied. "Though once you do that, you should also head to the Hong Lin kingdom and asses the situation there. The last we heard from there, some conflicts were ongoing there." He added.

Lin Mu nodded his head, as he was intending to do that very thing. Besides, heading to the Hong Lin kingdom was a simple thing as he could just go there using the teleportation gates.

"Also… by any chance do you know where Jing Luo and Little Shrubby are?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Hmm… Elder Jing Luo has been supporting the different fronts and moves around a lot. You might have to go to all the places and ask around from the teleportation gates. He has mostly stayed close to the locations where the teleportation gates are since we need to protect them.

We already had two of them broken before." Elder Zhan added.

From his words, Lin Mu picked up a couple of bits of information that surprise him.

"Two teleportation gates were broken? How? I thought all of them were supposed to be secret." Lin Mu questioned.

He had seen the gates at the nexus and while there were indeed more than before, he couldn't tell if any were destroyed and removed since they could be changed around.

"Yes, one of the Teleportation gates at the Green Loom Kingdom was destroyed and one at the very frontier, at the edge of the Shuang Qian kingdom, was destroyed as well. We managed to rebuild the Green Loom Kingdom later on, but the one at the Shuang Qian kingdom is still the same and is broken.

As for them being discovered… thankfully, that didn't happen. Their destruction was more or less collateral damage rather than being intentionally targeted. 

The Zither Wind alliance basically bombarded a large area where they suspected our people to be hiding and flattened it entirely. This was the case for the Green Loom Kingdom's teleportation gate. This impacted the finances of the Alliance for about six months before we finally managed to rebuild.

As for the one at the border of the Shuang Qian kingdom and Eastern Ming Dynasty, it was not destroyed due to the Zither Wind alliance, but rather due to the Northern Tribes. The location we picked was rather volatile, and they had been doing some kind of an experiment there.

One day, that place spontaneously exploded… we lost about 120 of our people there, sixty of them being from the Light Harmony sect." Elder Zhan explained.

Lin Mu's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he could only compensate the souls of the dead later on. 

"And what about Jing Luo… why did you call him Elder?" Lin Mu asked curiously.

"Oh, everyone calls him that since he is unofficially the second in command of the Alliance. His skills with formations and spirit weapons make him really strong, even stronger than several Shell Genesis stage Dao Shell realm cultivators and even some Shell completion stage cultivators!" Elder Zhan replied.

"You mean to say… he reached the Dao Shell realm?" Lin Mu asked, his eyes excited.

"Yes! He's had rapid progress, shocking enough for the alliance. Even I've never seen anyone reach the Shell Genesis Stage of the Dao Shell realm this fast… he was barely in the Shell Initiation stage of the Dao Shell Realm for a month before he reached the Shell genesis stage." Elder Zhan replied, veneration apparent in his eyes.

Hearing that Jing Luo had not only reached the Dao Shell realm but even progressed to the Shell Genesis stage made him feel amazed.

"That's good…" Lin Mu muttered, before he remembered Little shrubby.

He lightly closed his eyes and tried to sense Little Shrubby again, but it was the same as before being a faint link. Other than knowing that little Shrubby was alive, Lin Mu couldn't tell his cultivation base, nor could he communicate with him.

'Is he really that far?' Lin Mu wondered before looking back at Elder Zhan.

"Umm… do you not know about Little Shrubby? I asked before," Lin Mu questioned again.

"Alliance Leader's Tamed Beast?" Elder Zhan recalled the name.

"Yes." Lin Mu nodded.

"OH! I couldn't recognize the name… he goes by a different title now. Every calls him that respectfully." Elder Zhan spoke.

"He does? What is it?" Lin Mu said in surprise.

He had not expected Little Shrubby to have gained a title in this time either.

"He's now known as the Saviour Beast." Elder Zhan said.

"Huh? How that did that title come about?" Lin Mu found it to be far different from expected.

"Well, with the number of people he has saved, it was understandable. With his speed, he is the first one to reach wherever there is trouble." Elder Zhan explained. "His strength is terrifying too…" he added, a hint of fear visible in his eyes.

"What's his cultivation base now?" Lin Mu questioned.

"We… don't know. We think that it is at the Dao Shell realm since he's battled and killed two Dao Shell realm experts before. But other than that, no one has been able to verify his actual cultivation base.

I think elder Jing Luo might know though, he is the only one who can somewhat communicate with the Saviour beast." Elder Zhan answered.

Hearing this, Lin Mu understood what might be the reason.

"He's having the same situation as you. His aura is strong enough to restrain other's spirit sense probes. Though it might also be his bloodline having a different effect. We don't know if his breakthrough gave him a new ability or not.

He might have developed it on his own too.." Xukong spoke up.
