Chapter 881 - A New Harness (1/2)

After Lin Mu went to get the supplies for the journey, which mostly consisted of maps and some records, since actual resources were not really needed for him, Elder Pigu and Hua Langya let out a breath.

~huu~

They started breathing heavily, and it seemed like they had just been through a tough situation. Only after five minutes did they manage to catch their breaths.

”Supreme elder… that—” Elder Pigu wanted to say something but was interrupted.

”STOP! Hold your tongue! Do… Not… Speak a word!” Hua Langya said in a strict tone.

Elder Pigu quickly held his mouth and stopped.

”There are some things that are best not said. Don't ever talk about that and it's best if you forget it.” Hua Langya stated. ”It is not something we are qualified to even know about.” He added.

”I… understand Supreme elder.” Elder Pigu said with his head lowered.

Unaware that something had even happened, Lin Mu met with a couple of disciples that handed him the needed records.

”This should be enough for you, senior Lin Mu. And if you need anything more, please don't hesitate to ask.” The female disciple said with a smile.

”Sure.” Lin Mu replied before the disciple left.

With her gone, Lin Mu closed his eyes and spoke, ”did you do something senior?”

”I may have… nothing happened though, it was just a little joke.” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu furrowed his brows, but didn't know what to say at first.

”Alright… if they're fine, then it should be okay.” Lin Mu said at the end.

To him, if senior Xukong had done something, there must have been some reason behind it; even if he said that it was just a joke.

Lin Mu focused on the records instead and read up on the information about the area that he was gonna head to. He also checked the maps and got the sense of the location.

'The distance is reasonable, but it is the obstacles in between that will delay us. Hopefully, I can just avoid them.' Lin Mu thought.

On the map, Lin Mu could see several areas that were marked as being dangerous. While they weren't forbidden areas, they were still areas of concern due to being nests of some beasts or having dangerous topography.

Most of these weren't really problems for cultivators, depending on their cultivation bases. For example, for a Qi refining realm cultivator, a mountain might be a problem, but the same for a core condensation realm cultivator would be easy to cross since they would be able to fly over it.

The same could be said with the beasts. If one had a strong cultivation base, the beasts were just some leeks on a chopping block.

Still, Lin Mu didn't underestimate them and ensure that he knew as much about them beforehand and even cross-reference it with the other records he had. By the time he was done with all this, Hua Yi finally arrived.

”Senior Lin Mu,” Hua Yi greeted with cupped hands.

Lin Mu turned around and looked at the man. Hua Yi was middle aged and was far older than Lin Mu or even Jing Luo. Lin Mu checked the man with his spirit sense and realized that his cultivation base had been elevated slightly.

”Oh? Seems like you have had some gains in the Kong Plane.” Lin Mu spoke.
