Chapter 1908 Cautious Suspicion

Lin Mu observed the three cultivators, estimating their capabilities.

Two of them looked to be young, possibly in their twenties, while the last person was a man in his thirties. Of course, this was just their appearance, and their true age was a thousand times more considering they were all immortals!

Lin Mu found that the cultivation base of the two younger looking cultivators was at the second tribulation stage of the immortal realm while the older man was at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm. Of course, to Lin Mu who had dealt with experts stronger than this, they weren't much.

But it still gave him an insight into how strong the Serene Glass Valley was.

"Greetings, I am Mu Lin." Lin Mu decided to take the initiative. "I was invited to the Serene Glass Valley by Shuijing Ju and Shuijing Mingzhu." He said while cupping his hands.

Seeing the polite acting person in front of them, the three cultivators couldn't help but ease up a bit. While they hadn't dropped their guard, they at least didn't think this was an intruder now. After all, an intruder should have acted in a lot more concerning way than this.

Then there was also the large beast next to Lin Mu. Little Shrubby was not showing any aggression and wasn't exuding any killing intent either thus they didn't find him to be a threat. Plus to them, Little Shrubby's cultivation base only seemed to be at the Second Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm. They had no idea about his abilities and with his aura being restrained, there was no way for them to know just how big of a threat he really could be. But all that was something that worked in the favor of Lin Mu.

"Do you have any proof of that?" The Older cultivator responded. While Lin Mu's appearance in this area was suspicious, as they didn't know just how he had managed to bypass all the other areas since he wasn't hiding his presence, it didn't seem like he had done it intentionally. Plus he had even taken the names of two of their disciples. It might not drop all the suspicion, as the names themselves were easy enough to find, but the way he spoke seemed truthful.

"Of course," Lin Mu replied taking out the token that had been given to him. "Here." He held out the token.

"Take it," The older cultivator ordered the younger ones.

The two descended and took it from Lin Mu without any issues. They scanned it with their immortal senses and furrowed their brows.

"It seems to be authentic Junior Elder." The two cultivators stated.

But that wasn't enough to satisfy the elder.

"Hmm... While you do have an invitation, it still does not explain how you managed to come this far without any of us knowing. There was no information about you entering at the gate either." The Junior Elder spoke in a tone of caution.

"I do have an explanation for that. If you wish for me to speak," Lin Mu said, realizing that they hadn't realized who he was yet. 'Seems like Shuijing Ju and Shuijing Mingzhu didn't really tell many that I was coming... or perhaps only their clan members know?' he thought.

It also didn't seem like they knew that Lin Mu was the winner of the tournament of the four guardian beasts.

Whatever it might be though, Lin Mu decided to go with the flow. At the very least, he didn't wish for a conflict to break out. The Serene Glass Valley hadn't done anything wrong to him and their behavior was fully justified.

After all, it was Lin Mu's fault having come this way. 'Even if I did take a shortcut, perhaps I should have stayed hidden and entered from the main gate instead.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

But that was something he couldn't change anymore, as such he would have to rectify his mistake.

"You'll explain yourself to the Elders. This is a concerning matter and will need other's opinions too." The junior elder said.

"... I see." Lin Mu held back the words he was gonna speak. "That is fine with me. I shall do as you ask." He spoke.

While it would have been very easy to tell them that the gravity had disappeared from the Great Meteorite Wall, it seemed like they needed to follow a protocol as well. But this did confirm a fact for Lin Mu. He was now sure, no one had sensed the change in the Great Meteorite Wall.

'Looks like the place has been considered secure for such a long time, no one even bothers to monitor it.' Lin Mu thought.

But what he didn't know was that there had actually been many attempts to make formation arrays around its boundaries for various purposes such as observation and more. Plus with Serene Glass Valley having focus on Formations meant that this was a challenge for them. They would be rather enthusiastic about finding a solution that might work in such heavy gravity.

But all of those attempts had been for naught as the formations would either collapse instantly or have a very short life.

As such, having wasted a lot of resources in doing that in the past, no one thought about making them again. Rather than doing that, they just took it as Heavens' gift of providing free protection to them.

"Come," The Junior Elder spoke and flew up again. "Let's go, Little Shrubby." Lin Mu spoke to the beast and climbed onto his back.

The two flew up and followed after the trio. They went past the mountains without stopping, while Lin Mu continued to observe the surroundings. They also didn't speak to Lin Mu anymore, which he just thought was a cautionary thing.

But after flying for a while, Lin Mu realized that they had passed nearly thirty mountains. Many of the nearby mountains had been filled with buildings, and they still hadn't stopped, making Lin Mu wonder just how far they were going.

"Can I ask where we are going?" Lin Mu finally questioned.
