Chapter 978 - Frontier And Eradication! (1/2)

Hearing that the two closest people to him, Jing Luo and Little Shrubby were fine, Lin Mu felt more relived than he had thought. While he had hoped that they would be alive at the very least, getting the confirmation was still pleasing to him.

”So where is Little Shrubby? Or Saviour beast, as you call him now.” Lin Mu asked.

”He should be at the frontier. He's been there the past two months or so.” Elder Zhan replied.

”The frontier!?” Lin Mu was shocked.

The frontier was the most dangerous place right now and was also very far from where they were. Lin Mu had once come close to it a long time ago when he went to kill the Great Slumber bear.

But now that frontier had unofficially been shifted toward, entering into the Great Zhou empire even more due to the advance of the Northern Tribes. Of course, the Top three sects were still in denial and didn't accept that even if the Long Cloud alliance told them this.

It didn't help that the zither wind alliance was undermining their attempts at every step either.

But now the top three sects had developed the attitude that this was just a play by the two alliances to get them distracted or get their support. Thus, they chose the path of neutrality again and kept to themselves.

The more Lin Mu heard of them, the more he felt disgusted with the Top three sects.

”Yes… Elder Jing Luo told him something and after that he went there. None of us knows what he is doing or what he was told. It's not like we can question him, either.” Elder Zhan answered.

Hearing this Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

”Seems like I'll have to find Jing Luo first, then…” Lin Mu muttered.

Done with the planning, Lin Mu decided to not waste anymore time and leave.

”I'll head out then. My guess is that the Gu Legion's members should be heading somewhere near the Coal Fell village. But it also means that the villagers might be in danger.” Lin Mu said, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

”That does seem likely. The others have already left to support them, so you get to see them along the way.” Elder Zhan replied.

Lin Mu gave the man a nod before disappearing into thin air.

~shua~

Elder Zhan could only look on and sigh to himself.

~Sigh~

”Such responsibility and pressure… I don't think I'd be able to keep up with it ever…” Elder Zhan muttered to himself.

Back in the sky, Lin Mu reappeared a kilometer away from the outpost.

~BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~

The air tore apart as Lin Mu increased his speed non stop. The sounds of explosions echoed throughout the forest and scared beasts and humans alike. Even if Lin Mu knew that this might alert the Gu Legion members potentially, he had to hurry at any cost.

Especially since there was a great chance that the Villagers of the Coal fell villager might be in trouble. And if anything happened to them after Lin Mu had saved them, he would not feel good.

Several hundred kilometers were covered by Lin Mu, his speed the highest he had used till now.

'Seems like this is my current limit… even when combining both my cultivation bases.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

His speed was still enough to overtake most Dao Treading realm cultivators and no one below it should be able to match or overtake it below that. Excluding Little Shrubby, of course.
