Chapter 175: The Escaped Beast (1/2)

”We've seen the beast before, it's none other than the Great slumber bear.” Xukong Finally answered.

”That… does seem likely now that I think about it.” Lin Mu replied.

”Indeed, it would work since a Great slumber bear cannot be found in a low leveled world like this. Also, the three markings on the beast storage treasure prove that it's from a higher level world, it would make sense that the beast came from there.

Though this gives rise to another question, whether the beast was brought by the same person that brought the Invader, or perhaps it was the invader that is behind this.” Xukong said in an unsure tone.

Lin Mu pondered on it for a bit and found it to be too much of a coincidence for it to not be related.

”We will just have to wait and see, I guess. The clues should turn up soon.” Lin Mu stated.

Suddenly Lin Mu remembered another thing.

”Senior, should I… tell them about the beast storage treasure?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Hmm, you can tell them that it's a beast storage treasure, but I don't think they will believe you if you tell them its rank. I think it's better that you just tell them that its one and not its capabilities.” Xukong suggested.

”Yes senior, I'll do that.” Lin Mu replied respectfully before opening his eyes.

During the entire conversation that Lin Mu had with senior Xukong, fifteen minutes had passed. Upon opening his eyes, he saw that Hei Wan and Hei Bao were still talking, but the topics they were talking about were unknown to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu did not speak up abruptly but rather chose to wait for them to finish their conversation as the current topic of their conversation was a little interesting to Lin Mu.

”The celebratory tournament went well, apparently. A lot of hidden talents and black horses were discovered dating that.” Hei Wan spoke.

”Oh, are there any that we knew of?” Hei Bao asked.

”Just the usual ones from the top sects. All the others were a surprise to us. But that was expected too, our network is not that strong beyond the upper three countries of the Northern lands.” Hei Wan replied in a dismissive tone.

”Who won it this time? I mean, which top sect won it? The sky precepts sect, the rainbow pill sect, or the Centennial sword sect?” Hei Bao questioned in an interested tone.

”Surprisingly, it was not a disciple from any of the three top sects.” Hei Wan spoke, but was then interrupted by a shocked Hei Bao.

”What! How is that possible? There's no way any of the top three sects would let go of a chance such as this to raise their prestige. They always like to flourish their strength.” Hei Bao spoke.
