Chapter 403: Servant? (1/2)

Gu Yao knew that the beast storage treasure wasn't something that could be identified by just anyone. Even in the top sects, there were barely a handful of people who may recognize the symbols on it. This reduced the pool of potential candidates to a handful.

”Your master, what is his cultivation base?” Gu Yao questioned again.

This time his eyes glowed in red and it seemed to have affected Lin Mu.

”And don't try to lie this time, I'll know if you do…” he added.

'Is this one of the techniques that Senior Xukong mentioned?' Lin Mu wondered.

The others were also listening to the question and Wu Hei was particularly interested in this as well.

”I do not know.” Lin Mu straightway said.

”What?” Gu Yao asked feeling a bit bewildered.

”I do not know what his cultivation base is.” Lin Mu said again.

Gu Yao glared at Lin Mu and his eyes glowed with a red light. But even after a minute, he seemed to be unable to sense anything.

'He's not lying… He really doesn't know…' Gu Yao realized.

Even if Gu Yao had doubts about the authenticity of this information, the technique he was using confirmed that Lin Mu was not lying.

While Gu Yao was thinking of this, Xukong was telling Lin Mu something else.

”Can you move your right hand now?” Xukong questioned.

”Yes, I can move the fingers a little bit.” Lin Mu answered.

”Good, that should be enough. Now, this is what I need you to do…” Xukong started explaining.

The more Xukong spoke the more Lin Mu was excited. If the method that Senior Xukong Had just told him worked then it would be possible for him to get freed from the bindings. But for this method to work, Lin Mu needed more time and for that, he would have to distract Gu Yao for more time.

”Why did you do this?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Why? To get what's rightfully mine of course. And to destroy the Empire.” Gu Yao answered.

His words shocked everyone in the chamber. If words such as these were spoken in public that person would be swiftly executed for treason against the empire. The empire was the supreme ruler of the world and the people were its subjects.

”The Gu clan from hundred years ago… so you belong to them.” Lin Mu spoke in an understanding tone.

”Oh? You actually know about this? That's interesting, the emperor did his best to erase all traces of our existence and yet someone knows about it.” Gu Yao said in an impressed tone.

”But how were you able to survive when the Gu clan was exterminated back then?” Lin Mu questioned.
