Chapter 346: Lord Cai Is Threatened? (2/2)

”Hmm,” the senior brother nodded.

”So now that we have this behind us, tell us what you were unwilling to say back then…” Pei Lao questioned.

Lord Cai looked at the women and they all stood up immediately before leaving the room. He then gestured with his hand and formation runes appeared in the runes. They glowed for a moment before fading away.

”Now we should have some proper privacy,” Lord Cai stated as he clapped his hands.

”Oh, these are impressive formations. Looks like Lord Cai spared no expense for this establishment.” Tie Dan praised.

”Of course, I want to make a pleasure pavilion of the utmost level that is possible for this place. Another reason why I want the support of a great man like peak master Yi Deng.” Lord Cai boot licked.

'So Yi Deng is actually a peak master. Wait, didn't the Mayor have a conflict with a peak master according to the letter I read back then?' Lin Mu thought.

”It could be another peak master. Usually, in sects there are multiple departments that may be assigned to different peaks. It's likely for this elder to be the peak master of another peak.” Xukong explained.

”I understand Senior,” Lin Mu replied as he continued hearing their conversation.

But just as he was doing this, he realized something.

”Oh no! The formation that he activated, trapped me in here too! I can't go out unless the formation is deactivated.” Lin Mu said in his mind.

”Just hide well, and you should be able to get away easily,” Xukong said, calming Lin Mu down.

Lin Mu silently nodded and contained listening.

”I wonder if Seniors have heard of a certain group of people that have been causing a few incidents lately?” Lord Cai questioned.

”Hmm, which specific group are you talking about… perhaps you mean by the disappearance of the mercenaries and some people?” The senior brother replied.

”Yes, seniors are indeed well informed. You see, this particular group has had a couple of interactions with me…” Lord Cai revealed.

The expressions of the three disciples went serious, and so did Lin Mu's.

'Is he part of the Gu legion too?' Lin Mu wondered.

”And what is your involvement with this particular… group? And before you say it, know that we already have orders from the sect to capture or exterminate if anyone from that particular group is found.” The senior brother threatened.

These words of the Senior brother confused Lin Mu as he had thought that they were involved with the Gu legion too.

~Gulp~

”O-of course not. My involvement with them is of a victim, Seniors. They… have been threatening me, you see.” Lord Cai explained.
