Chapter 657: Panic At The City (1/2)

Upon hearing Jingming Shang's message, Lin Mu suddenly realized something.

”Um… we forgot to inform Jingming Shang…” Lin Mu spoke.

”About what?” Jing Luo questioned.

”The three clans,” Lin Mu answered.

Jing Luo finally felt it click in his mind and couldn't help but chuckle.

”And what's he saying now?” Jing Luo asked, trying to hold back his laughter.

”He sounds quite nervous.” Lin Mu replied.

”You should go meet up, I'll finish up the work here.” Jing Luo stated.

”Alright. Though watch out for surprises, we don't know how the other members will respond and Gu Yao too.” Lin Mu said before disappearing.

It was a shock to the other members of the Mu clan to see Lin Mu disappear like this. Unlike Mu Tao and Mu Niu they did not know the reason behind it and thus were quite confused.

Alas for them they would not be getting an explanation anytime soon and thus they would have to speculate on their own.

Lin Mu reappeared in the sky above the Jiao Long city and observed the current situation of the city. There were people screaming and crying in a lot of places, with guards running around trying to control it all.

Lin Mu's spirit sense spread around to see the scene of the three clans that he had killed and saw most of the people left there were terrified and crying. Some of the stronger members of the clans that were spared were angry and were wondering how it all happened.

It was now that Lin Mu heard something that made him smile.

”It must be the same people that killed the Mu clan! Only they can do something like this and get away!” Someone in the Shu clan said.

It didn't take long for his words to spread amongst the survivors and from there to the guards of the city. Lin Mu calmly stood in the air while listening to the entire city's voices. The commoners though were the ones that were the least bothered.

”Haha! It was bound to happen on day!” A middle-aged port worker said.

”This is divine retribution I say! What killers like Mu clan? Do you think anyone can kill all three clans at the same time without leaving any traces?

This is the judgment of the heavens!” An one eyed old man said out loud.

”Careful you two!” A man shouted.

”Watch your tongues! If the guards hear you, you two will be arrested and killed without much thought.” A woman near them spoke.

”Ahah! Do you think I care about that? Those three clans were the worst among the council and have been causing problems for a long time.

They sank my business, sold Ah Lau's daughter and killed my grandsons too! They deserved it all!” The old man spoke out loud fearlessly.

Lin Mu had already heard about the atrocities of the three clans from Jing Luo but hearing it first hand was far more impressionable. He furrowed his brows and let his spirit sense move towards the other clans.

'Where are the council members now?' Lin Mu wondered unable to find them.

”Perhaps Jingming Shang will know better.” Lin Mu muttered to himself before going towards his residence.

In less than a minute, Lin Mu was at Jingming Shang's beach side residence. He could already tell that the man was sitting inside while nervously flipping through registers and muttering to himself.
