Chapter 297: Chapter 266: Sky Prison_1
Xu Mu and Xu Lingyu traveled by carriage from the princess’s mansion to the imperial capital’s Palm Immortal Office. On the way, Xu Mu wanted to bond with Xu Lingyu, but the latter stayed quiet as a closed bottle without uttering a single word.
If he hadn’t known that the other party wasn’t mute, he would’ve suspected him of being so.
Of course, for a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, unless practicing a distinct martial method, they wouldn’t become mute.
“I really don’t know how Li Youlan managed to recruit him, and it seems like she trusts him a great deal!”
He also learned that Xu Lingyu had joined earlier than the others.
“Soul Cultivator!”
He remembered Li Youlan’s introduction of Xu Lingyu.
A Soul Cultivator, put simply, is someone who focuses on cultivating soul power. These people tend to have stronger spiritual power than cultivators of the same level and are rumored to project their souls out of their bodies, exist for extended periods in the external world, and have profound spiritual attack methods.
The focus of endeavors varies between Soul Cultivation, Body Cultivation, and Law Cultivation. If one were to speak of differences, they wouldn’t be so drastic as to be completely divergent.
On this mission, Xu Mu was tasked with refining souls, whereas Xu Lingyu was in charge of attracting them.
In simple terms – bait!
Seeing that Xu Lingyu was unwilling to talk, Xu Mu stopped prying and closed his eyes to recharge, waiting for the carriage to approach the Palm Immortal Office.
Clop clop clop! Clop clop!
“Why is it so slow today?”
He calculated the time and mumbled curiously.
“My lord, the city is crowded because of a festival!”
The loyal coachman outside answered respectfully.
“Festival?”
Xu Mu was puzzled for a moment. He opened the carriage window and saw that indeed there was a significant crowd. The roads were packed. If their carriage hadn’t belonged to the princess’s mansion, their journey might have been even slower.
The dressing style of these people varied considerably. It was evident they weren’t locals.
“It would be nice if we could fly!”
Xu Mu muttered to himself as he closed the carriage window.
The coachman outside didn’t respond.
The carriage took double the usual time to arrive at the entrance of the Palm Immortal Office.
“We have arrived, my lords!”
The coachman pulled back the curtain and said respectfully.
“Mmm.”
Xu Mu nodded. As he was about to get up, Xu Lingyu arrogantly got up first and stepped out.
He’s pretty proactive in this aspect!
Xu Mu thought to himself.
He followed Xu Lingyu and stepped out of the carriage.
“My lords, I’ll return first! And come to pick you up as your task nears completion!”
“Okay.”
Xu Mu waved his hand. The coachman drove the carriage away down another street, back to the princess’s mansion.
They had to stay here for quite a long time, and the coachman couldn’t wait indefinitely.
Ignoring their conversation, Xu Lingyu quickly walked to the gate and handed a token to the guard.
“Mission!”
Xu Lingyu’s voice was indifferent, like an emotionless robot. Coupled with his hidden eyes, it gave a cold, standoffish impression that was hard to approach.
I wonder how he doesn’t get beaten up acting so high and mighty every day!
