1323 Convincing The Three Immortals
The three immortals certainly weren’t inclined to just hand over the teleportation talismans because that would be simply senseless.
“How can we give that to a criminal exile like you all?” One of the immortals spoke.
~SHING~SHING~SHING~
In response to that though, Lin Mu simply summoned several of his spirit weapons. They floated around him while releasing spirit Qi waves. And not just that, the swords among them were emitting traces of sword intent that was enough to make the Immortals reassess the situation.
‘He has weapons and also spatial storage?’ They were surprised.
“You really think I am an exile?” Lin Mu asked.
“Hmm, this is certainly unexpected.” One of the immortals said.
“How did you enter the Land of Exile?” the first immortal asked, wondering if there were more entrances.
“Teleportation accident.” Lin Mu replied.
“Just how skewed was the teleportation?” they third immortal asked.
A Teleportation accident was the most probable reason why someone would end up in the Land of Exile without coming through the actual ports.
“Enough that I may as well have ended up in the void if it was any more skewed.” Lin Mu cryptically replied.
“Alright… We’ll come with you for now. But if we sense any trouble, we’ll leave this place right away. Even if it costs us demerits from the clan.” The immortals stated.
“That is fine. I wouldn’t want you to leave before I get to see the talismans either.” Lin Mu replied.
Having managed to convince the three Immortals of the Huyun Clan, Lin Mu felt satisfied. He could only praise the Huyun Clan for sending sensible people for a mission like this.
‘Though now that I think of it, for something as sensitive as breaking someone out of a prison, they do need someone sensible. If they sent a brute, they may as well be sending more people to prison instead.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
It didn’t take them more than a couple minutes to reach the mountain. Where Lin Mu simply triggered the Transportation gates to take them inside. And when they were finally inside, the three immortals sensed the secure arrays that were protecting everything.
“No… not just that… the spirit Qi is also rather high here…” One of them muttered.
“Immortal Qi too…” the second one said while closing his eyes.
“A spirit Qi channeling array as well as rich Immortal Qi? This can’t be made without a large amount of resources.” The third immortal analyzed.
They were from an aristocratic clan and had seen plenty of things over their life. Thus it was easy for them to assess everything at a glance. Lin Mu also paid attention to their words, finding some parts interesting.
‘So the concentration of Immortal QI has increased too. Just like Immortal Taegu spoke. Is it also due to the five colored mist?’ Lin Mu wondered.
“So where is Eleventh Master Chuan?” The immortal asked.
“So he’s the Eleventh master?” Lin Mu raised a brow. “Not a young master, just master?”
“Yes. You don’t know?” The immortals had fully thought that Lin Mu had kept Huyun Chuan captive because he knew of his worth.
“Why don’t you tell me more, while we reach him?” Lin Mu asked wanting to know more.
While Huyun Chuan had indeed told Lin Mu as much as he knew, there were still quite a lot of things the man didn’t know. And from the immortals words, it was obvious that he didn’t know some things about his own clan either.
“Eleventh Master Chuan’s generation is no longer the younger generation. He was the youngest in his generation and now that several of his nephews and nieces have also become immortals, the generation is said to have progressed.” One of the immortals explained.
“I see.” Lin Mu could understand this since it was the same as Xiaofan world.
When a sufficient number of cultivators of a generation reached a watershed stage, they would be considered the older generation. Of course, this might vary depending on the average cultivation for the world they lived in.
For Rust Sky world, it was evidently the Immortal Realm. When the children of an older generation reached the immortal realm, they would be considered the youngest generation.
‘Though it also shows that Huyun Chuan is in a rather bad situation.’ Lin Mu reckoned.
The man was worse than his nieces and nephews who had already become immortal, while he himself was still at the Dao Treading realm. But at the same time, Lin Mu felt that the amount of value being put on him was a little too high.
“Why would the Huyun Clan spend so many resources on getting him out of here?” Lin Mu questioned next. “As you’ve said he’s no longer a young master and his cultivation base is also low. With just these two things, he shouldn’t have that much of a value in the clan.”
~Sigh~
Hearing this, the three immortals sighed.
“Eleventh Master Chuan is… Special. Or rather his position in the clan is special.” The first immortal spoke.
“Special how?” Lin Mu asked.
“Even if his talent and cultivation are low, it doesn’t mean that his backing is low.” The second immortal replied.
“His backing? You mean his uncle?” Lin Mu recalled Huyun Chuan singing praises of his uncle.
According to him, he was also the person who was going to send people to get him out.
“Third Elder does care for Eleventh Master Chuan but that’s not all. It is his mother that is the main reason behind this.” The first immortal spoke before taking a pause as if the next part was heavy.
“Eleventh Master’s late mother was a great immortal… the second sister of King Que, the current reigning King of the Purple Sparrow Kingdom!”
Lin Mu couldn’t help but raise a brow hearing this.
“So not only is he from an aristocratic clan, he is also a direct nephew of the king?” Lin Mu stated.
“Yes… which is why the clan can’t afford to leave him.”
