Chapter 2396 Fallen Cultivation

2396 Fallen Cultivation

"Daoist Lin Mu?" Crown Prince Feng Shun knelt beside the injured man.

"Haah... I might have... a tad bit... overestimated the difficulty." Lin Mu spoke with a breath.

"Thank heavens you're fine." Daoist Chu and the others took a breath of relief upon hearing this.

"Amithabha, how's your body?" Monk Hushu asked knowing that there was no way Lin Mu had come out of it unscathed.

"Not well." Lin Mu said honestly. "My body cultivation has... fallen." He revealed.

"WHAT!?" Hearing that everyone was shocked. "How much?" Elder Hu asked.

"It's now equal to the false immortal realm." Lin Mu revealed, making the man frown.

Elder Hu seemingly thought of something, before suddenly cupping his fists.

"For your sacrifice, and the life debt that we now owe you, this shall be compensated without fail." Elder Hu stated.

Min Ju did the same and knelt before bowing her head. "I thank you for saving Lady Kang." Min Ju said with emotion. "The Kang clan will not forget this."

"It's fine." Lin Mu replied. "More than that, we now need to get out of here." He said, a deep frown appearing on his face.

"Did you learn something?" Ziran questioned.

"Yes... I think Yao Changying might have some control over the arrays of this plane." Lin Mu answered. "That curse which attacked us, came out of a 'stable' spatial rift. Something like that can only be opened if someone had control over the arrays that are covering this Bridge Plane." He explained.

The same was the case for Lin Mu. His internal injuries were bad, but they weren't fatal or irrecoverable. Well of Slumber along with a supply of vitality would eventually heal it all.

The bigger problem was that he would be like fish in a barrel. He could of course, have Little Shrubby and the twins protect him in that state, but doing that in the Bridge Plane was not a good option as things could turn dangerous at any time.

'Yao Changying might not have total control over the arrays right now, but who's to tell she might not gain it later?' Lin Mu thought of a dangerous scenario.

It was one of the things he had considered in all this. He knew for sure that Yao Changying didn't have this control before and was slowly gaining it. Otherwise, the Black Fin Island members wouldn't have had to suffer so much before and they would've already killed them all.

This meant that she had been planning accordingly.

'Gaining control over this Spatial Plane might have been her entire goal from the start too.' Lin Mu reckoned.

He also thought that this was the entire reason she hadn't appeared to fight personally yet. Otherwise, from what he had learned from Crown Princess Shang about Yao Changying's personality, she would've long since come to kill them herself.

~ROAR~

~SCREECH~

~CHIRP~

Just as the group was ruminating over their current situation, a cacophony of beastly cries were heard coming from outside the offering hall.

"What's happening?" They wondered and Daoist Chu quickly went to check.

A few seconds later, his anxious voice was heard.

"Chimeric beast swarm!"
