"Are you sure they are the right people?" The commander whispered to the prince.

"Of course they are. Do you think just anyone else would appear at the right time mentioned on the note?" The prince replied.

"But… these guys… their clothes and appearance… aren't they from the…" The commander was certainly nervous after seeing the northern tribes' people.

"Shush!" The prince warned the commander.

"Do not speak that which you cannot bear to hold against. Times change and allies change with that." The prince said in a low voice. "Do you not want to survive this?" he asked.

The commander certainly felt a bit surprised at the sudden change in the prince's attitude but gritted his teeth and nodded his head.

'While this is unexpected… the tribals have not attacked us yet. Just what did the prince do to make this possible?' the commander wondered.

The remaining soldiers that had come with the commander were still in confusion, but kept their tongues in check. They knew that while their commander might have some freedom in speaking to the prince like this, they certainly didn't.

If they weren't prudent like this, they would have long since died. There was a reason why they were still here, while their former companions were chosen to be 'sacrifices'.

Lin Mu who was watching them all, was a bit surprised but also impressed by the tribesmen.

"Their demeanor is certainly different." Lin Mu muttered.

"They don't smell like the invader either." Little Shrubby added.

"Right… they are actually 'clean'." Lin Mu said, not sensing any muddied Qi of the pills of grace on them either.

Observing the discipline and methods that they operated on, Lin Mu could tell that these men were cut from a different piece of cloth. Their choice of maintaining silence with the prince and the soldiers was a wise one.

Lose lips and free conversations can often cost one's head in these kinds of situations. After all, knowledge was power and the less one let others know about them, the greater advantage they would hold over them.

'Considering what I heard from the northern tribesmen in their hideout, I can safely assume that they are from a higher division of the tribe's warriors.' Lin Mu reckoned.

Lin Mu could easily tell that these tribesmen weren't that strong either. The man who seemed to be their leader was at the Nascent soul realm, but the rest were only at the core condensation realm.

He could very well eliminate them at a mere thought, but the current situation demanded for something else.

The tribesmen took the prince and his followers about fifty kilometers away from where they originally were. Lin Mu also kept his senses alert, looking for anything that might be hiding here.

'I've already checked this place, and didn't discover anything. It's certainly hidden well.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The leader of the northern tribesmen raised his hand, gesturing all to stop.
