Chapter 842 - Trickery (1/2)

Lin Mu's words were of course were shocking to Ku Waowen, but at the same time, her common sense spoke to her that Lin Mu was simply trying to throw her off and was lying.

”Brat, do you really think I was born yesterday? Such simply bluffs aren't something you can use on me.” Ku Waowen countered.

”Huh, you really think I'm lying? What if I told you we have our own spies in the Northern Tribes?” Lin Mu stated, throwing Ku Waowen off.

But this time, he didn't give her the time to respond and continued to speak.

”We know all about you. About how Gu Yao has supposedly taken control of the Zither Wind alliance, how you all called another invader through some trader from a different world, and even how many people you have.” Lin Mu stated.

Now Ku Waowen couldn't help but think that her conjecture might have been wrong. Knowing not to rush into a trap, she decided to probe a bit more.

”If you really know about our people, then you must know our power, right? Why don't you tell me that and I might just believe you.” Ku Waowen said in a taunting tone, though her nervousness was leaking a little bit.

”Sure.” Lin Mu said very casually.

”The Northern Tribes have Eleven Dao Treading Realm cultivators and Three Immortal Ascension realm cultivators. As for their locations, most of them are concentrated around your grand capital including two of the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators, while one of the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators is situated to the south of the Grand capital near the Pear's belt in some mountains.” Lin Mu revealed.

”Wh-what…” Upon hearing Lin Mu's detailed answer, Ku Waowen was absolutely stunned.

She was expecting there to be some guesses, even including the fact that Lin Mu might bluff and saw they had Immortal Ascension realm cultivators. But the exact locations of them were not something she had expected for him to know as well.

”Hahaha! Seems like you all aren't that well prepared either.” Lin Mu teased. ”You didn't even know we had spies in your ranks and neither did you know we got out of Gu Yao's control. You all don't even know how deep you are into the ocean.”

Ku Waowen did not reply and continued to think to herself. This was a great shock to her. Since she was allowed to come here on such an important mission, she certainly knew some of the high ranked secrets of the Northern Tribes.

They were secrets that, other than her, only a handful of people knew. Thus, for them to get leaked, they would need to have someone in those handfuls of people working as spies.

The moment, this thought came to her, a cracking sound was heard.

~Crack~

She had unknowingly clenched her fist hard enough that one of her ornamental rings had cracked.

”Tell me who are the spies and you will have a chance to live.” Ku Waowen decisively spoke.
