Chapter 367: Showing The Proof-II (1/2)

Lin Mu looked at the two corpses that were now lying on the ground. He had not expected that Wu Hei would kill them without a bit of hesitation.

”Are you sure this was a good idea?” Lin Mu questioned, ”I mean what if they were innocent?” he added.

”No, there is no chance they were innocent.” Wu Hei shook his head. ”If such a thing is present under the manor, then there is no chance that the Mayor would assign any common guards here. They are definitely his spies.” He explained.

”Alright, if you say so.” Lin Mu said before touching the two dead guards and storing them in his ring.

Wu Hei raised his brows at this, feeling confused.

”Just a precaution…” Lin Mu said with a shrug.

Wu Hei nodded, and the two of them reached the well. Wu Hei scanned it with his spirit sense and saw the water that was flowing deep below.

”Do you need help in getting down? The underground river is rather dangerous.” Wu Hei asked.

”No need…” Lin Mu said before withdrawing his short sword and jumping on it.

He floated to the well and hovered above it. Wu Hei just kept on watching a bit surprised at how effortlessly Lin Mu flew like that.

”What are you waiting for? Let's go,” Lin Mu stated.

Wu Hei took out a spirit sword as well and flew down the well along with Lin Mu. It was dark here but Lin Mu simply raised his hand and a flame started burning on it. He lit a torch with it and passed it to Wu Hei.

”We will need to blow out the torches when we get near the sludge pool though, don't need another explosion.” Lin Mu informed.

”Oh yes, I know. It similar to the gas from the swamps, they are flammable.” Wu Hei said showing his knowledge.

Lin Mu nodded before talking him to the place where he had gone before. He showed him the damaged runes and finally the blocked door at the end of the corridor. Wu Hei could also smell the fouled smell and squinted his nose.

He used his spirit sense and checked the barrier on the door.

”Hmm, this is definitely a defensive barrier. But one that's beyond our level currently… I believe only a nascent soul realm cultivator would be able to set up something like this.” Wu Hei analyzed.

He stroked his chin a couple of times before speaking, ”I'll try and see if we can find a solution to this. I'll have to research a bit.”

”As long as you can get me into the ancestral temple, we may not need it at all. Or… if we can find the entrance that the Gu Legion has been using. There should definitely be one somewhere.” Lin Mu replied.

”Yes, that would be much easier… after we leave let me take care of the temple guards.” Wu Hei said.

The two of them then headed to the sludge pool and stopped a distance away from it. They could see that the torches were flaring up and the gas was probably causing that.

”I have something that can help…” Wu Hei said.

He then took out a small fingernail sized marble from his spatial storage treasure and poured some spirit qi into it.
