Lin Mu did not move his short sword from the neck of the masked man, even after he declared his surrender. He did not want the man to surprise him after letting his guard down.

Lin Mu instead scanned every inch of the man's body for any hidden weapons or dangerous items. He had seen the darkly dressed men use poisons, thus he wanted to be extremely sure of his safety. After scanning the man with his spirit sense, Lin Mu found a few weapons hidden on his body.

This included four daggers, one each hidden at the ankles and wrists along with a set of metal needles which seemed to be steeped in some kind of black liquid; most likely to be poison. Lin Mu took away all of these weapons from the masked man before allowing him to sit up.

"Now speak, who are you from, and why have you been following me?" Lin Mu questioned with a stern tone.

The masked man seemed to hesitate a bit before speaking,

"I am but my lord's tool and I was ordered by him to observe you."

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes upon hearing the masked man's words. It was a little surprising to him that it was actually someone else that was pulling the strings from the behind. He then thought of the similarities between the men who had tried to kill him before and this man.

"Are you part of the same group of people that killed Gan Ma?" Lin Mu questioned.

The masked man tilted his head slightly upon hearing Lin Mu's words, as if he was confused.

'Isn't Gan Ma the second hunter who became a cultivator?' The masked man thought before speaking,

"Gan Ma's dead?" The masked man asked.

Lin Mu closely observed the masked man and could tell the genuine confusion in the man's voice.

"You didn't know that, but know who he is?" Lin Mu asked.

"We know who he is but according to our intelligence he has been missing for nearly a month now." The masked man answered.

"We? So you are with those men." Lin Mu uttered before straightening his blade.

Seeing that his target had assumed something wrongly, the masked man put up his hands in protest.
