Chapter 962 - Daoist Yulong (1/2)

Lin Mu felt strange that some Dao Treading realm cultivator would walk into a trap like this.

'No… even if one did, they would be able to escape or at least create enough of a commotion that others would find out. Plus, no Dao Treading realm cultivator would be without a background here.' Lin Mu pondered.

”And what was his name? Who was he?” Lin Mu asked impatiently.

”He called himself Daoist Yulong. As for who he was, I don't know. I've never heard of any Dao Treading realm expert of his name and don't know of any sect that has anyone of that name.” Tie Niu replied.

”Daoist Yulong?” Lin Mu repeated, finding the name familiar.

'It can't be that Yulong… he was a former elder of the Zither Wind sect. But he has been dead for a long time now. No… it must be someone else.' Lin Mu thought.

Lin Mu had seen the number of Dao Treading realm experts in the World Nexus and knew that other than the ones that were openly known by the world and were members of the sects, there were still a few others hidden away.

'And it can be some rouge cultivator too… after all, if they find an inheritance ground that is in a minor plane, they can hide away there for a long time.' Lin Mu concluded.

Having thought of this, Lin Mu had another questioned.

”What happened to that Daoist Yulong? Did you kill him too?” Lin Mu questioned.

”No… we aren't technically supposed to kill the ones we capture. Gu Yao prefers them to be alive. And since Daoist Yulong went along calmly with it all, even when the people of the Gu Legion came to take him, there was no conflict.” Tie Niu answered.

”Huh? Didn't you find that strange? Why will a Dao Treading realm expert be so casual with it all?” Lin Mu asked, finding it clearly suspicious.

”I did indeed, and so did the people of the Gu Legion. But then the man said something to them, after which they changed their attitudes and were accepting of his words.” Tie Niu clarified.

”Is that so…” Lin Mu furrowed his brows as he thought over it.

This Daoist Yulong was another new card on the battlefield that Lin Mu had no idea about. He was at the Dao Treading realm thus could have significant effects on the entire situation. Plus, each person going towards Gu Yao was another one they would have to kill.

'No, wait… could it be someone from the Northern Tribes? It would make sense that they would not do anything to him if he was from there.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

While the old woman Ku Waowen had revealed the names of the Dao Treading realm cultivator the Northerns Tribes had, there was no assurance that they would use the same name here.
