Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 366 - Showing The Proof

Lin Mu couldnʼt help but feel that he had gone overboard. He was about to say something when senior Xukong suddenly spoke.

”Just go with the flow.” He advised.

Lin Mu silently nodded and then looked at Zhen Sui.

”If you are fine with it then itʼs all good, madam Zhen.” Lin Mu said in a calm tone.

”Of course, Lord Mu Lin. I cannot fault you with this. It was my mistake that I did not take proper precaution or you wouldnʼt have to see an embarrassing situation like this…” Zhen Sui spoke.

”Brother Mu Lin, Iʼll show you some of the literary works that I told you about, come letʼs go to my room. Mother, weʼll see you later.” Wu Hei spoke, wanting to end the conversation quickly.

”Yes, yes. Please go ahead, Lord Mu Lin. If you need anything, just ask we will do our best to satisfy.” Zhen Sui spoke.

”Ah, thanks for your hospitality.” Lin Mu stated before leaving with Wu Hei.

Once the two of them were gone, though, the eyes of Zhen Sui lit up.

”I canʼt believe Wu Hei found someone like him to represent him, that boy is a monster. I donʼt think Iʼve ever seen sect disciples like that. Perhaps only the top sects may have someone like him.” Zhen Sui said to herself with excitement.

She didnʼt mind one bit that she was injured and her fear from before had faded away, replaced by the joy that they may have a new ally.

”But that sword intent… that isnʼt normal. Who is that boyʼs master, someone from Centennial sword sect?” Zhen Sui wondered.

Then suddenly her expression darkened.

”Wu Xun cannot find out about this… at least not until the tournament.” Zhen Sui muttered before leaving the room.

Back in the corridor, Wu Hei and Lin Mu were walking down while he admired the paintings hung on the wall. All of them were ink paintings and seemed to be made by an expert painter. Even though Lin Mu had no idea about art, he could still tell that the paintings were good.

”These are made by using special ink that contains spirit qi.” Wu Hei spoke, seeing Lin Muʼs interest.

”Oh? Is that why they give off such a feeling?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes, while the spirit qi has long since faded away from it. The intent that the painter drew it with still lies within it. That is the function of the special ink.” Wu Hei explained.

Herring about the ink made Lin Mu think of the refinement of the awakened bloodline. He remembered the runes that he had drawn using the blood of the Trunk Faced cow.

ʼWasnʼt that technically just using blood as ink? And it definitely had a lot of spirit qi in it as well. Hmm… so making formation can also be said as translating oneʼs intent into reality…ʼ Lin Mu pondered.

A couple of minutes later, the two of them finally reached Wu Heiʼs room. Rather than room, it could be said to be more of an apartment, to be honest. It had a front room that could be used as a living room, another room that was a bedroom and also a study room/office. To the other side, there was a smaller room, which was none other than a bathroom.

While the room was clean and dustless, it still seemed like it hadnʼt been used for a while. Lin Mu didnʼt know why he could tell this, but it just felt like it.

ʼIt lacks… aura?ʼ Lin Mu wondered.

”You are correct. The place that a person usually resides in absorbs their aura and would give it a unique presence.” Xukong explained.

”Hmm, is that so senior…” Lin Mu replied.

Wu Hei meanwhile waved his hand and activated some of the formations that he had set up in the room. Once all of them were activated the room was completely isolated and soundproof.

”Now we can talk brother Lin Mu.” Wu Hei stated.

”Finally… So the thing I was talking about was regarding the caves and tunnels underground. Most of them are natural, that seemed to have been artificially been modified. Not only that, but some of the tunnels even have runes carved on them.

Though the thing that bothered me was the aura that I felt there. It was uncomfortable and made me want to leave. But I continued on and found out the place for the Blood sacrifice.” Lin Mu revealed.

Wu Heiʼs eyes went wide as he almost gasped due to the shock. He would have never expected that this would have been hidden right below their noses.

Lin Mu then went on to explain the layout of the underground area and how he came to the conclusion that the place where the blood sacrifice is being done is right under the ancestral temple. Wu Hei started connecting the dots and found all of the hypotheses to be reasonable.

But he didnʼt just want to hear it, he wanted to see it with his two own eyes before coming to a proper conclusion.

”Can you show this place to me? I want to see these… sludge pools and runes.” Wu Hei asked.

”Sure, it wouldnʼt be much of a problem. We donʼt have to go far, anyway.” Lin Mu said. ”But we will still need an excuse to enter the well, wouldnʼt we? Iʼm pretty sure the mayor would have some of his spies as guards here in the Manor.” Lin Mu added.

”That you donʼt need to worry. Iʼll take care of it…” Wu Hei said as his eyes showed a dangerous glint for a moment.

Wu Hei removed the formations, and they walked downstairs to the garden. While on the way, Lin Mu could feel that Wu Hei was emanating some strong waves of spirit qi and he could even sense his spirit sense moving around.

On the way, they encountered a few guards who greeted Lin Mu and Wu Hei.

”What are you doing here at this time, Young Master?” The guards who were standing in the garden questioned.

Wu Hei walked forward with a smile on his face as he placed his hands on both the guardʼs shoulders in a friendly manner.

”You donʼt need to know…” He muttered before,
