1322 The Huyun Clan's People Arrive
While the orientation for the convicts went on, Lin Mu was meeting up with Elder Niji.
“Seems like we’ll be having more people assisting us.” Elder Niji spoke.
“Yes, as long as they don’t cause trouble.” Lin Mu replied while observing the screen floating above them.
Elder Niji too looked at it and shook his head lightly.
“Don’t worry, we can wait for more time. And even if those immortals from the Huyun Clan don’t arrive we’ll still figure out some other way.” Elder Niji calmly spoke.
He didn’t want Lin Mu to worry about the matter all the time and wanted to let time take its course.
“And we won’t.” Lin Mu suddenly said while pointing to the screen, “they’ve been here all along.”
“Huh?” Elder Niji looked at the screen but didn’t see anything in the location that Lin Mu was pointing to.
“I… don’t see anything.” Elder Niji said in confusion.
“Because they aren’t there, they are using a spying spirit tool to watch the mountain from afar.” Lin Mu spoke.
“A spying spirit tool?” Elder Niji asked.
“We’ll see it once we go out.” Lin Mu said before activating the Transportation formation.
~SHUA~ SHUA~
Both he and Elder Niji were sent out of the mountain and arrived on the side where the end of the Broken Chasm was. This was the area that Lin Mu had climbed out of and where the scouts had found him.
“Come,” Lin Mu said before walking towards to spot in the ground.
~CLANG~
After reaching it, he kicked the air seemingly hitting an invisible object.
“Just as I thought.” Lin Mu muttered.
He narrowed his eyes and looked around. His spirit sense also spread up, trying to see if there was anyone else hiding.
“Come on out, I know you all are here.” Lin Mu said while looking at the object that was lying on the ground.
This object was what Lin Mu had kicked before. It was a one meter tall metal rod that had a flat circle on its top. The circle had the pattern of an eye carved on it and was also the spying spirit tool.
Lin Mu’s spirit sense scanned the tool, finding it to be rather interesting. It had a camouflaging formation on it that allowed it to turn invisible.
But to Lin Mu who could use spatial perception, it was useless. He had noticed the ‘solidness’ of space on the screen, where it should have been moving air.
‘This is new… I don’t think I would have detected this in the past. At least not on a screen made by another formation.’ Lin Mu thought.
He realized his understanding of the Spatial Dao Traces was also increasing which in turn allowed his spatial perception to increase to the next level. He didn’t know what the limit of his current spatial perception was but he knew it would be a lot higher.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
About thirty seconds after Lin Mu called out, three men appeared from the distance. They were flying, which clearly showed that they were immortals. Additionally, they were all wearing similar robes with the crest of the Huyun clan on them.
“So you three are the ones that have been asked to bring in Huyun Chuan.” Lin Mu plainly stated.
“We are…” One of the Immortals of the Huyun Clan spoke.
The other two had a hint of confusion on their faces, probably wondering how Lin Mu had found out about them.
“You should come with me, to meet Huyun Chuan.” Lin Mu suggested.
“How do we know it’s not a trap?” a second immortal asked.
“Even if it is a trap, is there anything you three can do?” Lin Mu replied. “And you must have already seen the battle earlier if you were spying from here instead of barging in directly.” He added.
The immortals pursed their lips at having their plan being seen through.
It was evident that while these three immortals were a lot more careful than Immortal Taegu and the other human convicts. But despite that, they had still been caught by Lin Mu.
And it wasn’t like they could just leave without getting Huyun Chuan either.
It might have been fine if they did so being unable to find him, but now that they knew clearly the man was here, they couldn’t go back. If they did, it would be violating the mission and their elders would know.
Lin Mu had already obtained more than enough information from Huyun Chuan to know how things went in his clan and other noble clans. They all had techniques to verify information as well as pick out truths and falsehoods.
It was a very important thing to have that, or the clan would suffer great losses.
“What do you want from us?” The first immortal questioned.
“Hmm?” Lin Mu raised a brow.
“You made that huge banner above the mountain. There is no way you don’t want something from us. This is all clearly meant to draw us in.” The third immortal who had been silent till now spoke.
“Then there is also the five colored mist and the heavenly phenomena. All these don’t clearly add up.” The seconds immortal chimed on.
“You will know more as long as you come with me. As for what I want, it is the same as your young master. To leave this place.” Lin Mu stated.
“Impossible.” The first immortal spoke.
“You cannot leave this place. You seriously think we will give you our teleportation talismans?” the third immortal scoffed.
“I do want your teleportation talismans, but I’m not going to use it myself. I only need them to study it. I’ll return them to you intact.” Lin Mu stated honestly.
He knew there was no way they would be leaving without Huyun Chuan. And if they wanted him, they would have to go to the mountain.
Also from their careful demeanor, it was also obvious that they weren’t ones to directly resort to violence.
‘They are certainly smarter than Huyun Chuan in this regard…’ Lin Mu recalled the man’s tendency to pick fights.
