Chapter 684: The Kings Uncle (1/2)

”Senior?” Lin Mu called out, seeing that Xukong had gone silent all of a sudden.

”Ah, yes. I can't tell what exactly happened, but I did feel the space within the ring tremble for a moment there as well.” Xukong informed.

”You did?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes. At first, I thought it was probably just a minor anomaly in space. The ring is a strange space that even I cannot fully understand and just thought that it might have been a normal occurrence, albeit rare.

But now… now I don't think that was normal.” Xukong explained.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and wondered what it could have been.

”Should we check the ring?” Lin Mu asked.

”I've already taken a look around the altar, there's no change there. As for any other places, it would be impossible to find a source with how vast this place is.” Xukong replied.

”I see… we'll think about this later, I guess. For now, we'll focus on the task at hand.” Lin Mu replied.

”Agreed, I'll keep a close eye on the situation in the ring in the meantime.” Xukong stated.

Lin Mu nodded his head and decided to leave this place.

He had already seen enough of the old man and the longer he stayed here while observing him, the more uncomfortable he became.

'At least we know what the peak power of this kingdom is…' Lin Mu thought to himself as he ascended to the floors above.

His location was none other than the floor where he had detected the three other Nascent soul realm cultivators. He had to be a bit more careful in this part and ensured that his spirit sense did not accidentally come into their sensory range.

This floor was three levels up from the floor on which the old man was and looked like a study room instead. There were several bookshelves along with tens of chests kept along the walls. There were also some paintings hung on the wall.

In here, Lin Mu saw three Nascent soul realm cultivators talking. Since he was closer to them, Lin Mu could now tell their cultivation bases far more clearly.

”One Infant Soul stage Nascent soul realm cultivator and two Child Soul stage Nascent soul realm cultivators.” Lin Mu observed.

One of the Child Soul stage Nascent Soul realm cultivators was sitting behind a desk talking to the other two, who were evidently together. There was of course, a sound isolating formation around the floor, but that was already a piece of cake for Lin Mu to unravel.
