Chapter 203: The Invaders Origin (1/2)

This was the first time Jing Wei was witnessing Lin Mu actually absorb spirit qi. He had heard from Duan Ke that he was absorbing it before but seeing it completely different. He was Rather surprised by his speed as he had created a physical phenomenon.

”He is rather fast, he barely even put any effort in it…” Jing Wei muttered to himself.

Lin Mu kept on walking and did not mind the whirlwind of spirit qi surrounding him, rather he was fascinated by it. Seeing that Lin Mu continued on Duan Ke and Jing Wei also walked ahead. Soon they reached the meeting hall where they had been sitting previously.

They all took their respective seats and Lin Mu too stopped absorbing spirit qi for now. Still, he was rather satisfied by his gains, in the five minutes they had taken to reach here, Lin Mu had absorbed nearly five hundred wisps of spirit qi.

'This is rather good, my speed will be much greater if I cultivate here.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

”While that is true, I don't think it will be possible for you to cultivate here.” Xukong spoke.

”Oh? Ah yes senior. It would be rude for me to impose on them.” Lin Mu spoke in acknowledgment.

”No, that's, not all. You know how he tried to add you to the formation, right? And it didn't work, that's the problem. If you keep on absorbing spirit qi like this, you will eventually end up damaging the formation array. And that is certainly not something they would allow.” Xukong explained.

”Ah… is that so Senior?” Lin Mu respond.

~Ahem~

”Well then, you can tell us now.” Jing Wei spoke up.

Lin Mu nodded and then went on to narrate how there were disappearances and a night vigil was organized. How he found the dead bodies of the mercenaries and how he met Hei Wen. He then told him about the fight with the culprits and how they later met the captain of the Hei corps, Hei Bao.

The subsequent series of events were quickly explained, including the part about the invader. Lin Mu especially mentioned that in detail as he himself wanted to know more about it and was sure that Jing Wei must have some idea.

Still, there were a few things that Lin Mu avoided mentioning, such as the existence of the Great Slumber bear. Senior Xukong advised him that it would be best that he avoided telling everyone about that for now. It would only be a waste if they killed the beast and Lin Mu lost this opportunity of getting its bloodline.

Twenty minutes passed as Lin Mu finally finished telling them about everything that had happened in the past few months they were in hiding. The two, Duan Ke and Jing Wei, were shocked to say the least after hearing the entire story.

”Grandfather…” Duan Ke uttered.

”I know… it seems we missed many more traces of that 'thing'.” Jing Wei interrupted her.

Lin Mu was confused upon hearing what Jing Wei meant by the 'thing' but quickly realized what he must have meant.

”That 'thing'? Oh, you mean the invader?” Lin Mu asked to clarify.
