Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu woke up to an aching stomach in the morning and instinctively withdrew the cooked meat from the Ring before devouring it. This time he was able to maintain his sanity and did not make a mess like the last time.

~Phew~

"Seems like I need to wait a bit more before I can see any change in the nameless technique. For now, the hunger seems the same although I haven't lost control over myself." Lin Mu spoke.

"This does seem like the better way. From the pace you are cultivating, you should be able to reach the peak of the late stage of the qi refining realm much earlier than expected. Maybe, you would even have some success with the nameless technique." Xukong replied.

Lin Mu hummed in response before starting his routine again.

While Lin Mu was cultivating in seclusion, something else was happening in Wu Lim City.

Hei Wan had arrived in the Wu Lim city a while back and had been staying at her lord's mansion. Not only was she keeping up with all the reports that the Hei corps got from all over the Shuang Qian kingdom, but she was also managing the Northern town.

The investigations about the culprits had slowed to a turtle's pace, and no progress had been made for days now. This only made Hei Wan furrow her brows more, as she read the report in her hand.

'No more disappearances have been reported in the Northern town and the area around it. Neither have there been any more incidences in the entire county. Some of the mercenaries that had gone out to the northern forest finally returned and were expertly shocked after learning of all that had happened.

Apparently, they had also sensed some of the strange changes that had happened in the forest with the beasts and had sent some messengers to their respective camps. But due to the distance being rather large and the winter being in full swing, it was taking them much longer to communicate.

The beast corpses that were hunted by the mercenaries have also been steadily arriving at the Wu Lim city and were being taken by the Mayor's people regularly. Still, we are in the dark about what the beast corpses were being used for. All of our attempts at finding out more about it had been stalled by the lord as he did not want to rouse the Mayor's suspicion.'

Hei Wan rolled the report and tied it back before storing it on a shelf.
