Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu had left the town center and was now walking towards his house. He took in the sights and the sounds from the surroundings. Most of the streets had become rather empty except for the guards that would patrol at every few intervals.

Lin Mu knew that this was due to the assassination. Hei Wan had already ordered the guards to take the people to safety, so they were most likely in their homes now. He knew that now that the matter had been resolved on a certain level, the people will most likely get the notice by evening.

Lin Mu looked up at the sky and saw the sun, which was just about to reach the top of his head. He estimated that it should be eleven am right now and knew that he had plenty of daylight left. The days had finally started to get short, and the clouds were starting to get dense.

There were three more months to the end of the winter, and in another month the sun would be completely hidden till the start of spring. That would be the time when the cold would be the harshest and the snow the deepest.

Lin Mu could still remember the last year's blizzards clearly. The snow was knee deep and people could not open their doors as the snow was piled up against their doors. Lin Mu knew that some people would start to run low on supplies and would have to ration them.

He hoped that this time since Hei Wan was here and the town head was dead, the things would be different.

"And if they are not, I will make them…" Lin Mu muttered to himself as another fluctuation in his aura appeared.

Lin Mu kept on walking and eventually reached the residential district. He could now see some people here discussing with each other. He could hear them gossip about the incident from before and the announcement. Lin Mu understood that they seemed to be slightly more satisfied this time.

'At least the people have hope this time.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Soon Lin Mu reached his house and saw someone standing in front of it. He looked at the man's attire and understood that it was a guard. But the suspicious thing was that he hadn't seen the guard before, and he seemed to be someone new.

Lin Mu extended his spirit sense and was surprised to find out that the guard was actually a cultivator. He instantly became alert and ideas started to run in his mind.

'Is he one of the culprits? Are they disguising as guards now?' Lin Mu wondered as he withdrew his sword and continued forwards silently.
