Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu continued onwards into the city from there and saw the scene.

'The number of people is actually high? No, wait… there are a lot of infants here?' Lin Mu was surprised.

His spirit sense could pick up that there seemed to be a lot of newborn infants in the city. All of them were less than a year old and all of them seemed to have been born around the same time.

Originally, Lin Mu had thought that the number of people in the city would be less, but it was evidently not so.

"Why are there so few cultivators here in the city?" Lin Mu questioned, noticing another point.

This was extremely strange since the Iron bull city was supposed to be a military base. If anything, there should have been lot more cultivators living here, all part of the army. While Lin Mu was currently walking through the streets of the residential district, it was still easy for him to sense the situation in the rest of the city.

Though there was one place that was preventing his spirit sense from entering, this being none other than the Mayor's residence.

"The others… they're gone…" the man answered while trembling.

"Gone? Gone where?" Lin Mu asked more.

"I don't know… the mayor sent them off on some mission like the others, and they never came back." The man replied.

Hearing this, Lin Mu was quite sure what might have happened.

'Though being able to keep all this hidden from the eyes of the empire… Gu Yao has certainly expanded his network greatly in this time.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He looked back at the crippled man and probed him with his spirit sense once again. This time, trying to see what was different about him. His search gave him some interesting pointers.

'His spirit Qi is not stable… as if it is not his own. Something else is powering it,' Lin Mu noted.
