Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu hid behind a wall and peeked out from the edge. He then saw the guard pull out a small metal contraption from his sleeves. Lin Mu could not see the contraption clearly except for the glint of light it reflected.

Lin Mu walked around the wall and used the alleyways to get close to the guard. The guard was pointing the contraption towards the townsmen and stalking behind them. The townsmen were completely unaware of the guard following behind them and were just conversing amongst themselves.

The townsmen soon reached the residential district and entered their houses. The guard saw this and waited for thirty minutes before leaving. Lin Mu took a breath of relief and went back to follow the guard.

The guard did not return to his post but instead went to a different location. He went towards the southern entrance which leads towards Wu Lim city and entered the guard's barracks there. Lin Mu could not enter the barracks without rousing suspicion, thus he just spied on it from the outside.

Lin Mu stood there for an hour and gave up after seeing that no one came out of it anymore. He then returned to his house to rest. Twenty minutes later, Lin Mu was sitting in his room while staring at the small piece of paper he had picked up.

He was observing it against the light of a lamp and discovered that there was a small symbol written on the bottom of the paper. Lin Mu had not seen it before, as the symbol was covered with a splotch of blood. He tried to decipher it and could only comprehend that the symbol looked like two cones intersecting.

'What could this mean?' Lin Mu thought.

"Rest for now. You'll probably find out something in the morning, such a conspiracy can't be hidden for long." Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu nodded and lied down on the bed. A minute later, he appeared in the Sleepscape and started his daily practice. He had experienced the effects of the Thousand Armament Blade scripture today and felt that it was indeed a top-quality manual.

Even though he had barely learned a part of the manual, he still felt that he had improved a lot. Right now, in order to improve more, he needed the rest of the weapons that were mentioned in the manual. He had asked in the weapon shops in the town and got the same answer from all of them. They did not have those weapons as they were either unpopular or expensive.

If Lin Mu wanted those weapons, he would have to get them custom made or he would have to buy them from Wu Lim city. Lin Mu knew that even if he got them custom made, the weapons would probably not be of a good enough quality. Thus he had decided that he would head to the Wu Lim city sometime later to buy the weapons. But for now, he would just have to do with the weapons he had.

Lin Mu also had a few more reasons for which he wanted to visit the Wu Lim city. He wanted to see the cultivators that lived in the city and also to check out the shops that catered to the cultivators. He also wanted to experience the average life of a cultivator in the city, as he had no sample to compare it with here.

Senior Xukong had told him some stories of cultivators, how they were glorified and venerated, yet Lin Mu still wanted to see it for himself.
