Chapter 654: Two Clans Down (1/2)
A crisp cracking sound was heard as the core condensation realm patriarch died instantly. Lin Mu let the body fall to the side as he moved on to the musicians. But before extending his hand, he took out the communication jade slip and checked something.
”Hmm… not in the list.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Jing Luo had checked all three clans and had made a list of the people that were absolutely needed to be eliminated. The three clans didn't all have people that needed to die. There were several innocent people living among them as well.
Besides, they didn't need the entire clan to die, rather they just needed to take out the key members of the clan so that they would be weakened permanently. Kind of similar to that of the Mu clan's situation.
Lin Mu left the room and appeared in the corridor.
~Crack~
~Crack~
His hand spread to the two directions and clasped the necks of the guards before snapping them as well. Step by step, he moved through the clan and eliminated the members of the clan.
In less than ten minutes, half of the Shu clan was dead.
”Now let's see where they keep their valuables…” Lin Mu muttered as his spirit sense searched for a vault or safe in detail.
In a few seconds, Lin Mu spotted a suspicious area that was located under one of the bedrooms of the clan. This was evidently the bedroom of the patriarch and was an obvious choice to keep stuff in.
~shatter~
Lin Mu directly uprooted the tiles that were fixed to the ground and revealed the small underground room that was filled with all the valuables of the Shu clan. Lin Mu knew that this was merely a small part of the Shu clan's fortune, as most of their money was in the form of property and fixed assets.
But he wouldn't leave this part of their fortune behind as it would still help the remnants of the Shu clan, which they didn't want. Even if they were innocent, it was obvious that they would want to revive their clan and help fulfill their dead member's wishes.
That would turn out to be a problem for Lin Mu and his plan, and thus it could not be possible to just leave it for them. Storing all of them away for later, Lin Mu took his leave.
”They should still be under the effects of the Severing heart sutra for an hour… should give me enough time to take care of the other clans.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.
If the effect of the severing heart sutra wore out quickly, the Shu clan might have raised an alarm and that was not something that Lin Mu wanted. If that happened, the city would be in a sensitive state and it would end up making things tough for Lin Mu.
