Chapter 1070 Sending Off Zhu Zhu Zhu Zhu was terrified of Lin Mu and ended up spilling all that he knew. He passed Lin Mu everything he had about the sect, including the access tokens, maps, the sect booklets and more.
Most of it was useless, but Lin Mu took it none the less.
”Can… can we leave now… the more we wait the greater chances of the elders finding us.” Zhu Zhu said. “I did what you asked.” He added, wondering if Lin Mu was intending to renege on his words.
”Alright.” Lin Mu said, satisfied with the information he had obtained.
While there were limits to the information that Zhu Zhu had, it was still enough to paint a rather vivid picture in Lin Mu’s mind. This information, combined with the rest that he had about the Gu Legion, was enough to give a good idea to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu even asked Zhu Zhu if they knew what was asking out in the world, and he was entirely clueless. They didn’t even know that the Noon Grass sect had been attacked, and neither did they know anything about the Gu Legion.
This made Lin Mu confirm his doubts about how the sects were truly being controlled. But there was also variation in the information given, since the West Ocean Sect seemed to be in a much better condition than the Ripple Mist sect.
”How are we going to leave, though? If we go out, the elders will find us.” Zhu Zhu asked doubtfully.
”That won’t matter. They are going to die either way.” Lin Mu said as he placed his hand on the wall.
~THUD~
With a slight push, the entire wall collapsed before the roof started to fall as well. Zhu Zhu covered his head but was still hit with rocks and stones. His face was covered in dirt now and his robes were colored brown.
Lin Mu though, was entirely fine and immaculate as before, with the armor of the Mortal Strengthening Scripture preventing the dirt and stones from touching him.
~cough~ cough~
Zhu Zhu coughed out the dust he had inhaled and looked at the sunlight that was warming his body. It had been over six months since he had last felt the sunlight, after all.
”Come,” Lin Mu said as he took out a spirit sword.
Zhu Zhu hesitated a bit before jumping onto the spirit sword.
~shua~
Lin Mu rose up into the sky with the spirit sword following behind him.
~Flicker~
The formation array of the sect suddenly flickered as a few runes appeared around Zhu Zhu.
”OH NO! THEY DISCOVERED US!” Zhu Zhu cried out.
Lin Mu lightly glanced at the runes and flicked his finger.
~KACHA~
The runes broke apart like glass and faded away.
Then without a word, he accelerated while the spirit sword continued behind him.
”Whoa!” Zhu Zhu almost fell off from the spirit sword.
’Just how far is this going?’ Zhu Zhu could only see the blurry surroundings and the barrier of the sect that was rapidly approaching.
Seeing the barrier, his eyes went wide.
”Wait! Wait! We’ll crash into the barrier!” Zhu Zhu cried out.
But before he could continue his words, he saw Lin Mu punch out.
~BOOM~
A ten meter hole was punched out in the barrier and Zhu Zhu was left with his jaw wide open.
It was understandable since the barrier was a sect protecting barrier that could take blows from a Dao Treading realm cultivator, after all.
They easily went past the barrier and were finally out of the sect.
Zhu Zhu looked back and felt like this was all a dream.
”Are we really out?” He couldn’t believe his eyes.
”Yeah, we’re out.” Lin Mu replied.
And just as Lin Mu said that, a loud voice was heard.
”WHO DARES!!!!!”
~EEEK!~
”It’s the high elder!” Zhu Zhu cried out.
Lin Mu’s spirit sense quickly found the high elder approaching from the main peak of the sect. He turned to Zhu Zhu and curled his middle finger.
”Hold on tight, I’ll send you further away.” Lin Mu spoke.
”Huh? You’re not running?” Zhu Zhu found it absurd.
”Nope.” Lin Mu said and flicked the pommel of the spirit sword with his middle finger.
~CLANG~
A crisp sound was heard before the spirit sword was sent flying at a great speed.
Zhu Zhu didn’t even get to cry out as his mouth was filled with wind. He could only hold on for his dear life while the spirit sword continued to fly without Lin Mu being there. He had already given the weapon a command and it should be able to manage without him.
With Zhu Zhu gone, Lin Mu turned back to face the elder that was approaching.
”Who dares violate the barrier of the Ripple Mist Sect and intrude in its territory!?” The High elder questioned in a fierce voice as Dao Shell realm spirit Qi fluctuations rose from him.
Looking at the scene, he made the assumption that someone was trying to intrude into the sect by breaking the barrier. After all, he would never think that someone was actually trying to escape the sect and that Lin Mu had broken it from the inside.
However, Lin Mu didn’t care for the man. Without even speaking a word, he blinked towards the elder and punched out.
”Wha—” Before the elder could react, he was struck with a golden fist!
~BOOM~
The Dao Shell realm elder was nothing in front of Lin Mu’s attack as his head directly burst apart like a watermelon.
~thud~
His headless corpse fell to the ground as a Nascent soul wiggled out of it.
Seeing the muddy color of the Nascent soul, Lin Mu wrinkled his brows and stomped.
~SPLAT~
The Nascent soul was snuffed out of existence, while the body of the high elder turned to mush as well.
~Wooo~
Lin Mu soared into the air and brazenly headed to one of the peaks.
”Time to start my work…” Lin Mu muttered as his spirit sense scanned the hidden vault.
