Chapter 414: I’ll Return Soon... (1/2)

Lin Mu's command reached Little Shrubby through the link he had with him and the beast came rushing out of the house. During the time he was away from the northern town, Lin Mu had been checking up on little shrubby through the link and had found it to be fine.

There really wasn't any trouble that happened during that time and Lin Mu did not sense any danger either. Lin Mu directly flew over to his house, ignoring the shocked gazes of the townsmen that looked at him. He was flying on a spirit sword so it was obvious that he would catch a lot of attention.

Lin Mu looked at Little Shrubby, who had clearly grown quite a bit by now. He was about thirty percent bigger than its original size, and his fur had also gotten thicker.

”There you are, we need to go quickly…” Lin Mu said to the beast.

”Okay!” Lin Mu heard the response in his head.

”Whoa! You can speak clearly now.” Lin Mu said, feeling surprised.

Lin Mu observed him using his spirit sense and discovered that the beast was already at the peak stage of the qi refining realm.

”Me, can, yes,” Little shrubby spoke again, in broken words.

”Huh, seems like you will need more practice… well for now we need to rush.” Lin Mu said before entering his house.

He went to his backyard, where the graves of his parents were.

”Father, mother, I wanted to give you a better farewell, but the situation is not appropriate. Forgive my insolence.” Lin Mu said before placing his hands on the two graves.

His spirit sense split into multiple and spread around the area. Lin Mu then willed it and the two graves were directly stored into his ring along with most of the soil around him. A five meter wide and three meter deep hole was opened up on the ground and Lin Mu fell into him.

He quickly balanced himself and landed on his legs. Lin Mu came out of the hole and took out the formation plate. The illusory formation was still active, but he didn't know if the others would be able to find his house.

With Gu Yao in the equation, all the assurances he had were thrown out of the window. Senior Xukong was still not responding, and he knew he could not waste time in hesitation.

Lin Mu kneeled in front of Little shrubby, and picked it up in his arms.

”We need to some place far now…” Lin Mu muttered.

”Us, far? Okay!” It responded.

Lin Mu placed Little Shrubby on his back and told him to hold on. Little Shrubby simply extended its claws and latched onto Lin Mu's clothes that were already a bit torn from all the battles he had been in the past few hours.
