Chapter 538: Helplessness (1/2)

~thud~

A body manifested out of thin air and fell to the ground helplessly. This was none other than Lin Mu. He had managed to use fade and then travel in the parallel world with blink by using the mid grade spirit stones.

But once the time limit for Fade ended, he couldn't do much and ended up in the real world. The problem was though… Lin Mu had no sense of direction when he entered the parallel world using fade.

Usually, he would use his spirit sense as a guide, but since he was paralyzed, it was hard for him to use his spirit sense. Thus currently he had no idea where he had ended up. All he had done was to use blink in a straight line once he got to the parallel world.

”Is little shrubby close?” Xukong asked.

”He… he's coming.” Lin Mu said in his mind.

Without the help of his spirit sense, he couldn't observe the situation around him and since he was lying on the ground with his face down he couldn't use his eyes to see anything either.

Lin Mu wanted to check the condition of his body but couldn't use his spirit sense. This left him with his old method of checking.

He tried to chant the calming heart sutra and the severing heart sutra, but was unable to do so. His tongue would not move, and neither could his lips.

'This… is this what the Lost immortal felt? Such helplessness?' Lin Mu thought to himself.

But his time was only about to get worse.

”HE'S HERE! ELDERS I FOUND HIM!” A voice suddenly came from afar.

Lin Mu heard it and realized he had already been found. Unknown to him, when he used fade he hadn't gone much far from the sect. Instead of going perpendicular to it, he had gone parallel.

The only reason why the elders hadn't found him first was that they thought he must have gone in the outer direction of the sect and not just within it. This was why a random disciple ended up finding him.

~whoosh~

~whoosh~

~whoosh~

The sound of wind tearing could be heard as some elders arrived on their spirit weapons, flying in from the sky.

”It really is him!”

”He's here, patriarch!!”

The elder's face lit up as they saw Lin My lying on the ground. They had been truly worried that they may never be able to find Lin Mu and that blame would all fall upon their head.

But now… now they were relieved. One of the elders was about to approach the collapsed Lin Mu when he was interrupted.

”Careful! He was able to fight multiple elders on equal terms, he's dangerous. Watch out for any tricks!” A fellow elder warned.

The elder nodded and took out a staff from his spatial storage treasure that was a bracelet. He controlled the staff with his spirit sense and poked Lin Mu with it, as if he was a dead animal on the side of the road.

Seeing as he didn't respond, the elder thought he was unresponsive.

”Is he dead?” one of the disciples questioned.

”No… his chest is moving, he's still breathing.” Another one pointed out.

Grins papered on the elder's faces as they realized their enemy was a fish in a barrel. They got bolder and directly went to pick up Lin Mu.
