Chapter 527: Ye Zi Jins Scheme (1/2)

Lying in front of Lin Mu was none other than Ye Zi Jin, the daughter of peak master Yi Deng. Lin Mu didn't know what to make of it at first, but then a few seconds later, he was able to connect the dots.

”Ye ZI Jin said something back then at the vault… so this is what she meant by gaining power…” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Lin Mu could understand the anxiety of Ye Zi Jin and the peak master, but he had not thought that she would go to this extent. Another thing that bothered him was that Gu Yao should have had control over Ye Zi Jin as well.

'Was this his doing, perhaps? No… it wouldn't make sense. Why would he lose a potential Nascent soul realm cultivator like that?' Lin Mu wondered.

”Seems like when Gu Yao has not given any command to his servants actively, they will act in their own capacity. I don't think peak master Yi Deng was behind this either.” Xukong suggested.

”That does seem likes now, senior. But still… this is quite bad.” Lin Mu said, remembering that Ye Zi Jin was the wife of Wu Teng and sister-in-law of Wu Hei.

Wu Hei was someone Lin Mu considered to be his friend now and he didn't know how he would react to this.

~Sigh~

”This is a mess…” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He chanted the calming heart sutra to normalize his state of mind before taking another look at Ye Zi Jin. Now that he thought of it, he had not recognized her to be a woman back at the residence of Bilao.

Even now he could not see her figure, that should have been of a woman. He pulled the outer robes apart and saw the bandages that had been appeared around her body to hide her bosom.

”No wonder…” Lin Mu said.

”Though wait, how did she get into the residence and what about the other guards?” Lin Mu wondered.

”I think the answer to this should be what she got from that vault. Whatever spirit tool it was, it should be something that helps hide one's spirit Qi fluctuation or something along the lines of that.” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu checked her body, but could not find anything. She did not even have any spatial storage treasure with her. But then he spotted something that he had missed at the very start.

”The mask!” Lin Mu exclaimed.

He picked up the broken mask from the side and checked it. The mask was quite plain and had some common features of a man. But the one thing that was different was the small stone that was embedded at the forehead of the mask.

Lin Mu probed this stone with his spirit sense and realized that it was like a quicksand, pulling his spirit sense in.
