Chapter 332: Killing The Innocent (1/2)

Lin Mu blinked a few times and appeared on the roof of a luxurious house that was on the side of the lake. Right across the house was the stronghold of the Tri cauldron peony sect.

It was a six layered courtyard and was one of the biggest properties in this district. It was also attached to the lake and was nearly the size of the lord, Wu Hei's Mansion. Lin Mu looked at the insides of the courtyard and couldn't see anyone there.

”It's a type of illusory formation array, it shows the contents of the location it's placed on but hides the people living in it,” Xukong informed Lin Mu.

This was a lower version of the formation array that Lin Mu had set up in his house and was much more affordable. It couldn't be forgotten that the only reason Lin Mu had been able to set one up was because Jing Wei had given him pre-made materials.

Lin Mu didn't know that even the top sects would not be able to set up an illusory formation array of the level that Xukong had set up. Perhaps they would, but they would have no knowledge of how to do it, anyway. This was also why Lin Mu was so trusting of the formation to protect his house.

Lin Mu had no thoughts of breaking this formation array as the courtyard was relatively open. He could just enter using his skills. He first chose a relatively hidden area that was least likely to have people. And even if there were people there, Lin Mu would be able to take care of them quickly.

The area he chose to enter was none other than the small space behind the latrines of the servant quarters. Lin Mu's spirit sense wasn't able to pierce the additional barriers that had been set up in the courtyard, thus he had decided to measure the distance directly with his eyes.

Since it was an open area, it shouldn't be much of a problem to him even if he used the fourth Skill 'Fade'. With the path in his mind set, Lin Mu jumped down from the roof of the house and Faded away from the world. He appeared in the parallel void and saw the grey environment.

It was the same as before, completely empty and plain. He started to walk forward with measured steps.

Ten steps…

Sixteen steps…

Thirty steps…

Fifty eight steps…

Hundred and twenty one steps…

Finally, Lin Mu had reached the area that he had chose… or at least he hoped he was.

He deactivated Fade and appeared in the real world. Lin Mu's Sprint sense instantly split into multiple tendrils, scanning three hundred and sixty degrees around him.

”Who…” A faint sound was heard behind Lin Mu as his eyes went wide.

A servant had been standing in the place that Lin Mu had just appeared and had spotted him.

”Dammit!” Lin Mu cursed under his breath.
