Chapter 186: Formation Node? (1/2)

”Mayor Wu Xun, as you may have noticed by now, a few of our disciples have been dispatched to your city and they will be posted there for the time being. The time period for which they have been assigned there is undecided, and they will be there until they have been ordered to return.

During this period you are to assist them in whatever task they may need assistance with and will ensure that they are not hampered in their work.

If you do so, your previous transgressions will be forgiven and our previous cooperative relationship will be re-initiated. You can choose to reject this but know that the consequences of such will be yours to bear.”

The letter this time was much shorter than the one that Lin Mu had seen before, and seemed to be more of a threat than an actual letter.

”What is this? It's strange… could it be because of what I did before?” Lin Mu muttered in confusion.

”I'll tell you the same thing I said before, don't bother.” Xukong simply said.

This time Lin Mu did not think much. He had learned a lot more and knew that if he's getting some benefits, it's best not to think much and just take them as it is. Unless of course there is some absurd reason behind it.

”Now then… what are we to do with this information?” Lin Mu questioned himself.

”Just keep it to yourself for now and wait for the right moment. See how it plays out and use it according to your judgment.” Xukong suggested.

”I understand, senior.” Lin Mu responded before rolling the letter and storing it into the ring.

Currently, it was evening, so Lin Mu had no problem in staying away from the eyes of the people. Even since the few incidents that happened before, people had been avoiding going out at night. This helped him as he couldn't really explain chasing after air, could he?

Still, Lin Mu did not know if others could see the spatial rifts.

”That is a little difficult to answer.” Xukong intercepted his thought.

”Huh? What Senior?” Lin Mu questioned as feeling confused.

”I can't tell if the spatial rifts are only visible to you because of the ring or if they would be visible to others too once they are open. But it's most likely the latter. Still, the cultivators who have spirit sense should be able to sense it even if normal people can't.” Xukong explained.

This was new information to Lin Mu, as he had not asked senior Xukong this before. He simply nodded and continued on to his way. He checked the gate and saw that the guards were still standing there. He didn't avoid them and simply walked towards the gate.

”Halt! Who goes there?” One of the guards shouted upon seeing Lin Mu.

The guard lifted a torch and brought it closer to see Lin Mu's face. Lin Mu too waked closer to show the guard that he was fine and there was no problem. Upon seeing his face, the guard felt relieved and let him enter the town.
