Chapter 900 - Long Cloud Disciples In Distress! (1/2)

The Long cloud sect was located a thousand kilometer away from the Hong Lin Kingdom and it would take a Nascent soul realm cultivator two to four days to reach it. Of course, if someone had faster speed or greater spirit Qi stores they could reach it far quicker.

In the case of Lin Mu and his entourage, everyone was at least at the Adult Soul stage of the nascent soul realm. Thus a journey this long was easy for them to cover without much strain.

They were a day in with their search when the elders realized that they had gone half way to the sect already.

”We are near the sect?” Lin Mu questioned.

”We are about half way there.” Elder Boqin spoke and pointed to a set of hills in the distance. ”Those are the four sister hills, a half way marker to the sect.”

”Hmm… little Shrubby, how much father is it?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The strength of the scent is about the same, so it should be farther.” Little Shrubby answered.

The others looked on, wanting to get the answer from Lin Mu as well.

”The intensity of the scent is still the same so we are definitely not close.” Lin Mu stated.

”If it really is like that and seeing as we are half way to the sect… perhaps the infected being is really near the Long Cloud Sect?” Jing Luo analyzed.

”Impossible. If it were really anywhere close to the sect, our people would have long since detected it. Our formation arrays can detect each and every being that is within a hundred kilometers from the borders.” Elder Boqin stated.

”While that might be true, there is a chance that the beast is still out of that range. Plus, we don't know if it has some other abilities that hide it from the perception of a formation array. Remember, the invader can enhance their abilities depending on what they had originally.” Lin Mu reminded.

These words tensed the three elders, and they couldn't help but think negatively.

”Let's continue onwards then.” Elder Boqin spoke.

”I'll inform the sect to keep an eye out for someone suspicious as well.” Elder Peizhi added.

He took out the communication jade slip and contacted the people at the sect in a few seconds.

”They are sending out disciples to increase the patrol radius.” Elder Peizhi informed.

Lin Mu nodded in approval and they continued flying. This time they sped up even more, knowing that the situation might not be as good.

While they were flying, Lin Mu was having some thoughts.

'How could the Invader appear after all this time, if its traces were removed?' Lin Mu wondered.

”The most obvious reason should be the Northern Tribes. Perhaps they found some traces of the invader and released them back here? Or they might have even gotten more of them.” Senior Xukong suggested.

”Hmm… but if they really got some new sources of the invader, then it means they have a way to interact with other worlds. That merchant who was killed by Gu Yao was the original one who brought the invader along with the Great Slumber Bear.

But he was forced to release the invader during the fight and even lost the beast storage treasure that broke and released the Great Slumber bear, which then lead to the subsequent events.
