A strange scene could be witnessed in the Northern town today. A cart seemed to be carrying what seemed like a large number of clothes. Two men were transporting it, with one pushing and the other pulling it. Just a little distance from the cart, a teenage boy was walking.

If it were not for it being winter and there being fewer people outside, there would have probably been a large crowd to witness this scene. The three people walked for a few minutes and soon reached the town center.

The three came to a stop in front of the town center and looked at the large number of people there. The two men who were transporting the cart were the clerks of the clothes shop from Lin Mu had bought the clothes, while he himself was walking in front of it.

The two clerks were rather shocked by the large number of people that were standing there in front of the town center. All of the people seemed to be armed and were mostly dressed in dark clothes. Some had their faces covered with large straw hats, while others had them revealed.

Most of them had average-looking faces and seemed to be commoners. But the unique aura that was arising from their group was anything but common. Even the two clerks who were not cultivators could feel the vibe in the air.

All the armed people also saw the three people approach the building and were staring at the large number of clothes. Some looked puzzled while others were indifferent. But soon their eyes went wide as they spotted the person that was walking in front of the cart.

Their gazes turned serious as they stared at them with intent. The clerks who noticed this became nervous and wondered what was happening.

"Hey, do you think we made a mistake coming here?" One of the clerks spoke.

"I don't know, but I certainly don't like their gazes." The other responded.

"Me too. It's as if they're going to cut us up." The first man spoke, feeling a little afraid.

Suddenly they saw the armed people approaching them at a quick pace. They became even more nervous and were now holding their breaths. For commoners such as them, even normal warriors were too much to handle and they would not offend them.

The people came to a halt in front of Lin Mu and looked at him.

"Look, I think they're offended by him." The clerk spoke.

"Maybe he did something wrong." The other clerk replied.

But just as he spoke this, the armed people suddenly shouted out in unison.

"Greetings, senior Lin Mu."

Upon hearing the greeting, Lin Mu was once again stuck in an awkward situation. He didn't know how to respond, so just spoke whatever that came to his mind.

"Greetings." He spoke, eliciting silence from them.

"What did they say? Senior?" The clerk spoke, feeling confused.
