Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1605 Meeting An Acquaintance In The Ravines

Having finished his work in the Sleepscape, Lin Mu decided to simply wake up.

The improvements to the Immortal Qi were already starting to show and wouldnʼt need Lin Muʼs interference anymore.

~huu~

Lin Mu opened his eyes in the real world and saw the dark empty ceiling above him. With all the immortal stones having been stripped, the cave didnʼt look pretty like before. The only light that was still present in the cave was coming from the Table and chairs that the Saintess had fashioned out of solid Immortal Stones.

”Youʼre up.” The Saintessʼs voice drifted over.

She had been sitting at the same place and had not really moved.

”I hope I didnʼt sleep too long.” Lin Mu asked.

”Not at all.” The Saintess lightly shook her head.

”Ah, thatʼs good. I guess we can head out now.” Lin Mu replied before glancing at Little Shrubby who was also on the table.

He had evidently stored away the chunk of Immortal stone and was now in his kitten form. The Saintess seemed to be stroking his fur while the beast lazily slept on the table in front, fully enjoying it all.

Lin Mu walked up to the table, his footsteps waking up Little Shrubby.

~Meow~

The beast let out a little cry before opening its eyes and stretching.

”Is it time to leave?” Little Shrubby asked.

”You got that right.” Lin Mu nodded his head.

”Okay~” Little Shrubby jumped down from the table and grew bigger.

The Saintess was a bit disappointed, but didnʼt really show it. She too stood up, the set of furniture disappearing automatically. Lin Mu hadnʼt felt any spatial fluctuations from it, and wondered how the Saintess had done it.

ʼThat wasnʼt a spatial storage tool for sure…ʼ Lin Mu thought.

Pushing the thought to the back of his mind, Lin Mu got onto Little Shrubbyʼs back and they flew out of the cave. Exiting into the ravine, Little Shrubby jumped off the rugged walls and reached the surface.

~WHOOSH~

A few seconds later they turned into a red blur as Lin Mu guided Little Shrubby where to go. The Saintess had long since disappeared, though Lin Mu knew she was probably following after them.

They left the area without any interruptions, and no beast dared to come near them. Though it was also due to the fact that Little Shrubbyʼs speed was quite high. They continued like this for a while until finally they reached the edge of the Grey Slate Ravines.

It was here that Little Shrubby sensed another presence.

”Thereʼs someone nearby, Master.” Little Shrubby informed.

ʼWho?ʼ Lin Mu asked, sensing the beastʼs tone.

”Itʼs that Giant horned man.” Little Shrubby replied.

”Giant horned man? You mean the General Niu Juo?” Lin Mu guessed.

”Yes! Him.” Little Shrubby confirmed.

”Whatʼs he doing here?” Lin Mu wondered and kept his immortal sense spread.

Knowing that Little Shrubby had sensed the man, he was likely to be a few tens of kilometer away. The beast had smelled his scent after all.

Little Shrubbyʼs sense of smell had a wider range than the Immortal sense, allowing him to discover things early on. It was quite useful since the other party wouldnʼt be able to detect them either which would not be the case with Immortal sense.

With immortal sense, another person could still catch them with their own immortal sense.

Thus it was a rather good thing to have.

”Return to the Sleepscape Little Shrubby.” Lin Mu said, deciding to be cautious.

”Okay.” Little Shrubby immediately disappeared, leaving Lin Mu to fly alone.

Lin Mu wanted to know why the man was here and knew that their meeting was bound to happen. It wasnʼt like he couldnʼt avoid it, Lin Mu simply wanted to know a little more information from the man.

After all, Lin Mu had no idea what else had happened in the Desolate Blood Battlefield after leaving the location of the Violet Mystic Life Tree. He certainly knew that his actions had probably caused a lot of havoc and trouble for the others.

At the very least, the Grand Sky Pavilion would be clenching their fists in anger if not more.

Just a minute later, Lin Mu saw the giant of a man flying towards him. It was clear that the man had sensed his presence too by this point and seemed to be rather surprised.

”Mu Lin?” General Niu Juo called out.

”General!” Lin Mu decided to greet the man.

”I didnʼt expect to meet you here…” General Niu Juo said with genuine surprise.

After all, with how wide the Desolate Blood Battlefield really was, it was highly unlikely for two people to meet each other by accident. Even if someone wanted to search for others, it was still a difficult task, unless one had the means to directly track their position.

”Me neither.” Lin Mu replied while taking a deeper look at the man.

Niu Juo seemed mostly the same to Lin Mu, but there was a hidden sense of nervousness on the man that wasnʼt there before.

ʼHe seems concerned for something.ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself before speaking. ”Would you like to sit and talk for a bit?” he asked.

”Sure. I do have some things I want to ask you too.” General Niu Juo replied.

The two of them landed on the ground, and Lin Mu took out a set of furniture for them to sit.

”Iʼll let you ask me first, General Niu Juo.” Lin Mu said with courtesy.

”Very well… Iʼd like to first ask you if youʼve seen a certain man.” General Niu Juo questioned.

”Which man?” Lin Mu raised his brows. ”Iʼve come across several so far here.”

”It is no normal man. It is the Eleventh Prince of Holy Topaz Dynasty… Huangyu Shiyi.” General Niu Juo said before taking out a jade slip and tapping it.

~SHUA~

In the next second, the air above the Jade slip flickered and a formation screen appearaed. And on this the image of the eleventh prince appeared.
