Lin Mu had not expected the start of Wu Hei would have been like this. It was evident that he had gone through a lot, and that was why he was at the position he was right now. But he was still a bit confused about one thing, Wu Hei's cultivation. The mayor and his elder brother seemed to think he had a low cultivation, but Lin Mu could clearly sense that he was at the Mid stage of the core condensation realm at the very minimum or likely even higher.

"It is likely due to an auxiliary cultivation technique that he practices. It is able to hide his cultivation base and makes it seem like he has a lower cultivation base than it actually is." Xukong explained.

Lin Mu internally nodded his head before continuing to listen to the story that Wu Hei was saying.

"I then had a few minor encounters with the Gu legion but there wasn't much I could do except let them escape. Eventually while on my journey I came across a village at the border of the Shuang Qian kingdom. It was nighttime, and it seemed like everyone in the village was asleep.

This was strange, as even the guards who should always be alert were fast asleep. We checked them and discovered that they were not sleeping, but rather unconscious. No matter what we tried, we couldn't wake them up and knew that something must have happened.

Our fear turned out to be true, as most of the people in the village seemed to unconscious as well. We waited and observed until morning arrived. The people eventually woke up but seemed to have no memory of the night before.

I questioned them and found out that a curse had been put on the village. People would fall asleep into a deep sleep and through the night at least one person would go missing. This had been happening for the past month and nearly fifty five people had disappeared since then.

Eventually, I was able to figure out that this was no curse, but rather someone was poisoning the villagers." Wu Hei said.

When Lin Mu heard this part he instantly recognized this as this was the very thing that happened in the Northern town as well.

"It was the memory confounding poison, wasn't it?" Lin Mu questioned.
