Chapter 979 - Off To The Hong Lin Kingdom (1/2)

Lin Mu didn't want to admit, but today his anger had made him lose control again. He gazed at the scene of slaughter below, but couldn't feel regret.

'What was I supposed to do?' Lin Mu questioned himself.

But when he looked at the faces of the villagers, he knew that this might have been for the best.

”There's more of them, so you don't need to worry about missing any information. You can probably find more go Gu Legion members later on.” Xukong consoled Lin Mu.

”I know…” Lin Mu said and descended onto the ground.

The villagers looked a bit afraid at first, but then recognized Lin Mu to be the one who had saved them before. They had a lot of questions for him, and Lin Mu slowly answered them while tending to those that were injured.

He first freed them all, then used some of the pills and healing items he had to fix the injured villagers.

By the time Lin Mu was done, the detachment of Black Dune sect disciples that were heading towards the village had arrived, too.

”A-alliance leader Lin Mu!” the disciples were surprised.

”Take care of the villagers and get them settled. I have to go ahead… also, see if you can gather any information from the dead bodies too.” Lin Mu said. ”At least the ones that are still intact.”

He had already scanned the dead bodies when he had killed them, but couldn't find much on them. He also got to see how they were liquefied first hand. After he killed them, they started to melt just after five minutes.

They turned into a red puddle that was soaked up by the soil and the rest of it evaporated into the air, leaving behind almost no traces. Lin Mu had to admit, whatever this was, it was definitely some kind of a poison.

Though he could also sense the same strange aura among those that were killed.

'They were using the cultivation boosting pills made from the failed Reborn too.' Lin Mu noted.

~shua~

He left the villagers and the disciples behind while making a circle around the area. He didn't know if there was anyone left and wanted to check, just in case. With his wide range of spirit sense, it didn't take Lin Mu long and he was quickly done.

”Nothing… guess I'll just have to continue on for now.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

~huu~

He took a deep breath and activated the anchoring runes on his back. A faint white glow appeared under his robes and a couple of seconds later, Lin Mu disappeared into the light. When he reappeared, he was in the nexus of the Kong plane.
