Having heard that it would be a problem getting access to the Ancestral temple, Lin Mu started to think of other solutions. It was then that an idea appeared in his mind.

"Wait, can you just make it so the guards move away for a bit or something like that?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Move the guards?" Wu Hei repeated as he furrowed his brows. "Hmm, that should be possible. The guards still come under the city administration so it shouldn't be a problem. Though what are you going to do?" Wu Hei asked after thinking for a few seconds.

"As long as the number of guards is reduced and there is a lapse in security for a bit, I can sneak in." Lin Mu replied.

Wu Hei was a bit surprised by this and wondered how Lin Mu would be doing this, but didn't question it. He knew people had secrets and better not to do that.

"Alright, I can do it just tell me when you need it done." Wu Hei said with a nod.

"Though you may need to be careful of the priests. Particularly the head priest of this temple, from the rumors I've heard he's a Core condensation realm cultivator too. Though we don't know exactly what stage. He's also seldom seen and only appears during the yearly ancestral worship." Wu Hei warned.

'Another core condensation realm cultivator, huh? They just keep popping up now…' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Do you have a suspicion about the temple or something?" Wu Hei questioned.

"I do actually… Do you perhaps know what's under the city? Or rather the entire region around the city all the way to the northern town?" Lin Mu replied in a serious tone.

"Oh? Do you mean the caves?" Wu Hei questioned feeling surprised again.
