Walker Of The Worlds

In the sky precepts sect, at the grand palace.

"Has there been any new updates, head elder Han?" The patriarch questioned.

The hall was nearly empty today, and only the patriarch and the head elder were present. There was an oppressive silence spread in the hall and even the people outside it were nervous.

~Sigh~

"We've been trying to fix the star catching formation for the past two years but it is still incomplete, patriarch. The crack in the world's barrier keeps on damaging it again." Head elder Han said.

"It's already been two years…" The patriarch muttered in a tired voice.

"How about the culprit, Lin Mu. Any news about him?" Patriarch questioned after thinking for a bit.

"No patriarch. Either he has found a really good place to hide in the northern tribes, or he is dead. We've searched the northern forest and even went till the northern mountains, but he is not there. The central, eastern, and western parts of the continent have been searched as well, but no progress. We wanted to go beyond the pear's belt as well, but that does not seem like an option considering our current condition.

The other sects are also uncooperative and with the rise of the new alliances, the power structures are changing." Elder Han answered.

"What about that lead in the Fenlong kingdom, the Mu clan there?" The patriarch asked next.

"That was merely a disguise, as well patriarch. He was borrowing the influence of the clan there and used that as the identity. He even manipulated the second son of Mayor Wu Xun of Wu Lim City and made him back his identity." Elder Han said.

The patriarch shook his head as he fell deep in thought.

"Also patriarch… we think someone slipped into the world, perhaps through the crack in the barrier." Elder Han revealed.

"What?! Do you know where?" The Patriarch asked urgently.

"I'm afraid not. The lack of the star-catching formation has greatly reduced our sensing capabilities. Even with this we were only able to find out with great difficulty. Though it doesn't seem like whatever came to this world is that strong, or we would have seen more signs." Elder Han answered.

~Sigh~

"At least that's better than the alternative," Patriarch said with a sigh.
