Chapter 391: The Flipped Scenario (1/2)

A pin drop silence was spread in the entire area and no one dared to speak. They were even careful about their breathing and felt as if a mountain had been placed on their chests. Such was the pressure exuded by a Nascent soul realm expert.

Lin Mu had a bit of difficulty to bear it at first, but after about thirty seconds his body adapted to it and it no longer felt as heavy to him. He had borne the full force of old Man Jing's spirit sense and even sword intent. This was nothing compared to that.

Though Lin Mu was still a bit anxious about the fact that he could have left some traces or clues that he was the one that had killed Fa Shiu. Besides, from what he knew, from Nascent soul realm onward the cultivators could sense the spatial fluctuations in the environment better.

He didn't know, but it didn't seem like Yi Deng has sensed it yet. But Lin Mu knew for sure that the spatial traces would still be there in the area for a while. After all, he had basically torn through the fabric of this world to enter the Parallel space, which wasn't even supposed to be possible.

From what he had learned from Senior Xukong, the place that he entered when using fade was something that was different than normal layers of the void. Xukong himself didn't know that it existed until Lin Mu entered it. But from what he could tell, that parallel space was absolute and existed everywhere.

”Disciples!” Yi Deng uttered.

”Yes, peak master!” all of the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect stood yup and saluted the Peak master.

”Seal the area, and contact the sect. Tell the patriarch to send the supreme elder!” Peak master Yi Deng said with fury in his eyes.

Hearing the order, everyone's eyes went wide as their expressions turned serious. They knew that if the peak master was willing to contact the supreme elder, then it meant that the matter was of a grave danger. This was the first time they had seen peak master act like this, and from their experience with him they thought of him as a calm and composed man.

”YES PEAK MASTER!” Everyone replied in unison.

”I'll inform the sect.” Hong Quan stated and left hurriedly.

”I'll set up the seal.” Fa Lao said with a straight expression.

He now realized that perhaps his elder brother had been in much bigger trouble than anyone else had expected. He tried to remember what his elder brother was going to do before he came here.

According to what they had discussed, his elder brother was going to accompany the juniors to hunt and obtain a gift for sister Yi Zi Jin. They didn't really explain where they were going to hunt, but from what he knew it must have been either the Northern forest or the sect's own lands.

'They shouldn't ha vie had any problem at the sect's land as they would have been able to call for help instantly there. That means whatever happened it must have been at the northern forest… don't tell me… did they perhaps go too deep?' Fa Lao wondered.

”You all come with me,” Fa Lao said to his fellow disciples, and they were about to walk forward when they were stopped.

”And what gives you the authority to act like this in my house,” Said Wu Teng as he blocked their path.

”Teng! You cannot speak like that!” Zhen Sui said as she felt anxious.

”No, brother is right this time,” Wu Hei agreed. ”The Tri cauldron peony sect cannot do anything till they explain to us what this is about.” He added.

Lin Mu looked on in silence and kept standing there. He didn't want to act until there was a problem.

Yi Deng turned his head towards the two Wu brothers and a scowl appeared on his face.

”Let me tell you what has happened and then you tell me if it's worth it. My former chief disciple and one of the junior elders of the Tri cauldron sect, Fa Shiu had been missing for the past few weeks. There was utterly no news of him and the disciples that accompanied him in the task that they were doing.

We waited and waited but received no news or message from them, until today. Fa Shiu appeared at our courtyard alone and explained to me what had happened. There is a large conspiracy being committed against our sect and its disciples.

The accompanying junior disciples didn't go missing, they were killed!” Yi Deng explained.
