Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2561 Digested Memories

While the Temple Head didn't tell the Hall Master and the other elders exactly why, he did make it clear that the Immortal Court wouldn't have much to tempt Lin Mu with. He also emphasized that Lin Mu's wishes were to be respected, and that under no circumstances could he be coerced.

The Temple Head's position in the Immortal Court was even higher than the Hall Master's, so his words carried significant weight. None of the elders dared question him. However, they couldn't help but harbor their own suspicions about Lin Mu's background. His talents and achievements were far too extraordinary for someone with such an unassuming profile. Despite their curiosity, they chose not to probe further, knowing it could lead to unintended consequences.

For the elders, it didn't make sense to risk offending a promising talent like Lin Mu, especially one who seemed destined for greatness.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Mu had a secret backing far beyond their comprehension. Xukong, was Lin Mu's mentor and guardian. The Temple Head, aware of this monumental fact, had kept it strictly confidential. It was a truth he would only reveal to those worthy of such knowledge or those who shared a connection with Xukong.

Even Envoy Liu, who was a Spatial Master, only knew fragments of the truth. His understanding was limited to the context of their shared discipline. Though he wasn't connected to one of the Five Spatial Lord legacies, his deep respect for them ensured his discretion. The secrecy surrounding Lin Mu's origins was an additional layer of protection, ensuring no one underestimated or took advantage of him.

Still, the Temple Head believed it was advantageous for Lin Mu to maintain a cordial relationship with the Immortal Court. An amicable bond could provide Lin Mu with a valuable safety net and access to resources if needed. It was better than neutrality, as it ensured he would have allies among their ranks.

After Lin Mu received his merit plate, the other members of his group also claimed their merits. However, Lin Mu stood apart as the only one granted an actual merit plate. The others—such as Ziran and Lady Kang—were already affiliated with the Immortal Court or had strong ties to it through their existing relationships.

The Immortal Court's connection with the Great Kang Auction House was particularly noteworthy. The Kang Clan's businesses were deeply intertwined with the Immortal Court's operations. Through regular tributes and exclusive services, the Kang Clan had cultivated a close partnership with the Immortal Court. This relationship afforded them numerous privileges, including unparalleled protection for their establishments and merchant convoys.

Attacking a Kang Clan convoy was tantamount to declaring war on the Immortal Court. Such a brazen act was unthinkable, even for unorthodox cultivators and rogue factions. The consequences would be swift and devastating.
