Chapter 337 - Thief?

Sensing that the Teleportation channel will take a while to form completely, Lin Mu decided to see the rest of the courtyard. He still hadn't seen the Bride to be- Yi Ze Jin.

Lin Mu had already sensed where all of the disciples were, thus he went to the disciple quarters again. This time his destination was a room that was separated from the other rooms. This one was also quite big than others and had a small attached garden of its own.

One could tell that it belonged to someone that had a higher status than the other people in the courtyard. Lin Mu had sensed that there was a single person that was living here, and they were in the room. Lin Mu got near the section and entered the ground to sneak in.

A blink later, he was right below the room. He used his spirit sense to verify that everything was safe before deciding to take a peek. The person in the room was cultivating like most of the other people. Lin Mu saw a beautiful looking woman sitting in a meditative pose with her eyes closed.

She had a gentle beauty and was one of the most beautiful people that Lin Mu had seen. Still, he couldn't help but compare it with the other women he had seen till now that were beautiful. Hei Wen had a mature and sleek beauty, while Duan Ke was colder and fierce.

Comparing to those to Lin Mu find her to be a bit lacking, but he didn't know why. This was pure appreciation on his part, but he didn't think much of it.

'Hmm, I guess that's it?' Lin Mu thought in his mind and went back into the ground.

"The elder that was sitting in the other room should be her father, Yi Deng. He is indeed quite Strong compared to the others that I've seen." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he traveled through the ground.

Lin Mu sensed the teleportation channel and found that it had gone quite far now, almost beyond the city's limits. He wouldn't have been able to tell this if it were not for the spatial sensing ability of the mysterious ring.

It was now that Lin Mu had an idea pop in his mind.

"If I follow that teleportation channel, will it lead me to the Tri cauldron peony sect, eventually?" Lin Mu wondered.

"If you are able to keep up with its speed, then yes. But know this, even if it looks slow now, it will randomly speed up depending on the structure of the spatial fabric in that region. It can travel hundreds of kilometers in the span of a second if the region is stable.

The current reason for it being slow must be because of all the minor disturbances that were caused in the region because of you opening the spatial rifts." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu didn't know that this was something caused by his actions as well, and was thus feeling a bit surprised.

"We've seen the courtyard and couldn't really find any proper clues that link the Tri cauldron peony sect to the Blood sacrifice. Should we leave then?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, that would be for the best right now," Xukong advised.

"Yeah, I want to intercept that letter too." Lin Mu replied.

"The letter? You got something in your mind?" Xukong asked curiously.

"Yes, Senior. I got that ident.i.ty seal for a reason." Lin Mu answered.

He then got to the wall that bordered the outer wall of the courtyard and used Fade. He appeared back in the grey world, but this time could see something new here.

"Huh, what's that?" Lin Mu questioned.

Lin Mu could see a trail of black going from one point of the parallels void to far in the distance.

"Wait! Is it?… the teleportation channel?" Lin Mu realized.

"Hmm, this is strange…" Xukong said.

"What senior?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The Teleportation channel shouldn't really appear here. It's supposed to be in a different layer of the void." Xukong stated.

Lin Mu went ahead and probed the black trail with his spirit sense, only to find it to be illusory. His spirit sense easily pa.s.sed through it as if it were air. He then tried touching it and found the same result.

"So it's a trace, but not the actual teleportation channel. Hmm, this is rather unique, seems like your skill fade brings you to a much different layer of void than I first thought… no wait that's not it! The layer is the one that I felt, but the trail is actually being shown by the ring." Xukong a.n.a.lyzed.

"Oh! So that's how it is." Lin Mu uttered with understanding.

He noted this information in his brain before continuing ahead. He had little time left in the skill's duration and had to leave quickly. He ran to a far enough location and the skill ended. Lin Mu reappeared in the real world but was stuck in an awkward position.

"Oh… no." Lin Mu muttered.

In front of Lin Mu was an old man sleeping on a bed along with a much younger woman. They were covered with a blanket, but from the arms and legs that peeked out of the edge of the blanket, Lin Mu could tell that the woman was naked under it.

"I overestimated the distance." Lin Mu said, feeling a bit embarra.s.sed.

He scanned the area with his spirit sense and found that he had gone two houses too far and had ended up in this one. This house was also relatively big and luxurious. Lin Mu stood still and avoided making any sound. He was just about to turn around when he heard a slight groan.

"Mmmngh…"

"Oh, no…" Lin Mu uttered under his breath.

But before he could blink away,

"AAAAAAA, THIEF!" A woman shouted.

Lin Mu was dressed in black clothes that covered his body fully and was even wearing a mask. It was obvious that people would think he was a thief.

"Dammit!" Lin Mu muttered as he used Blink, but then.
