Chapter 799 - A Barbecue Party? (1/2)

Lin Mu prepared as much as he could and was ready to face whatever that was behind the two doors of the Royal court.

”Let's enter…” Lin Mu said as he placed his hand on the doors and pushed with full force.

~BANG~

The doors of the royal court opened with a bang and slammed on the sides of the walls before being pulled off their hinges due to the force applied. The place where Lin Mu had pushed was directly broken and splinters flew across from it.

Finally, the inside of the hall could be seen and Lin Mu's eyes darted around and so did his spirit sense, grasping everything all at once.

But the very next moment, he was stunned.

”Huh? What's happening here?” Lin Mu said in a strange tone.

The entire momentum that he had built until now had been doused in less than a second. This was because of what was happening in front of him.

”Lin Mu? Why did you break the doors?!” The voice of Jing Luo could be heard. ”I just finished with the restrictive formations yesterday, now the spirit Qi will start leaking out again.”

”Spirit Qi leaking? Restrictive formation?” Lin Mu repeated and did a double-take.

In front of him, several people seemed to be sitting around a long table that was 'U' shaped. In the center of it, a large and long grill seemed to have been set up and several pieces of meat were currently being cooked on it.

On both sides of the table, people familiar to Lin Mu were sitting. On the right sat King Hong's uncle adviser Liu and Jing Luo, along with the ministers of trade, commerce and labor. On the left sat the two disciples Hua San and Hua Wu, along with the minister of war and minister of agriculture.

Then at the very helm of the table, sat none other than King Hong. He himself seemed to be in a rather strange state, and it looked like he was covered in a fiery cloak from head to the toe.

The cloak was immaterial and seemed to be flickering. One of his hands was extended towards the grill and flames seemed to be coming out of them.

”T-they… they're having a barbecue party without us!” Little Shrubby said.

Of course, this was only heard by Lin Mu, while to the others it sounded like a low growl instead.

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby weren't the only ones shocked here either. Everyone else in the room was the same. Jing Luo who had shouted initially was also a bit taken aback at seeing Lin Mu and little Shrubby.

Lin Mu seemed to be battle ready and had a sharp gaze while the spirit weapons floated behind him, ready to attack. His aura was also turbulent and was exerting a silent pressure in the area.

But the thing that shocked him the most was the fact that he could not sense Lin Mu's cultivation base anymore. The spirit Qi fluctuations coming from his body were far too suppressed for him to feel anything accurately.
