Lin Mu then went on to make up a series of events on how he found the cave where the culprits were supposed to have been using before. He told them that he discovered some broken trees and found the broken piece of the carriage and how he related it to the story that Zhou Ye had told them.

The Hei corps had known about Zhou Ye and the situation behind him, thus when Lin Mu correlated the events with Zhou Ye's story they did not doubt him.

"So the cave has been abandoned, Senior?" One of the members asked.

"Yes, it did look like that to me, but there may be clues that I couldn't find there. I hope that you people would be able to find something, I reckon you all are better in that aspect." Lin Mu answered.

Xie Bohai hit his chest with his fist in a show of confidence before speaking.

"We shall not disappoint you, senior. Whatever clues that are left in the cave, we will find them."

"Yes senior, we will do our best and will not disgrace our lord's trust." Others chimed in.

Lin Mu nodded in acknowledgment and felt a little better. His thoughts then went towards the other teams of the Hei Corps. He wondered if they had been contacted yet or not. The total people here were currently eight, including Hei Yingjie and him, which meant that the last two members had not returned yet.

"Have they not returned yet from informing the other teams?" Lin Mu questioned.

"They should be here by tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest senior. I think the increase in the number of beasts probably delayed their progress." Xie Bohai answered.

"Ah yes, that is true. They will probably have to fight some beasts in order to reach here." Lin Mu replied.

"For now, all we can do is wait. Senior can also resume his cultivation in the tent. We'll inform you at the first sign of the other team." Xie Bohai added.

Lin Mu nodded in acceptance and then picked a tent at random and walked in after lifting its flap. He had depleted nearly two-thirds of his spirit qi in returning to the camp as fast as possible, thus wanted to take this chance to replenish it.
