Lin Mu almost froze upon seeing the shocking scene. There was a masked man standing behind Bilao who was calmly mediating without a care in the world.

The thing is, he should have woken up but there was no spirit Qi fluctuation coming from the masked man either.

Lin Mu's mind worked at the speed of lighting, and he disappeared from his position before appearing beside the masked man. He extended his hands and quickly grabbed onto the masked man. One hand was on his head and the other on the sword blade that was approaching Bilao's neck.

A brown glow appeared on Lin Mu's hand as it defended against the sharp edge of the blade. The masked man though, was absolutely bewildered. Out of nowhere, someone had appeared beside him and grabbed onto him.

He tried to resist, but the man's grip was extremely strong, not letting him budge. His struggle was short lived though, as in the next moment he felt like he lost control of his body and his vision went dark.

The masked man disappeared from the real world and Lin Mu immediately used fade to enter the parallel world.

"WHO!!!" Alchemist Bilao suddenly woke up with a shout as he felt the movement of spirit Qi in his room.

His eyes darted around as he looked for an intruder. His shout was loud enough that the guards that were outside came rushing in soon.

"QUICK! TO ALCHEMIST BILAO'S ROOM!" The guards shouted.

They all barged into the room only to find it empty except for Bilao who had a confused expression on his face.

"Senior Bilao, did something happen?" The guard asked, seeing no one in the room.

Bilao didn't answer right away and spread his spirit sense around, unable to find anyone there.

"No… nothing." Bilao answered.
