Chapter 184 - Reports-II
Wu Hei kept on listening silently and did not respond straight away. He thought for a bit and contemplated before speaking.
"Oh, so they’re finally here. They were a little late than expected though, why is that?" Wu Hei questioned.
"My lord, we do not know either. The truth is, we lost track of them for a few hours in between and we do not know what they did in that time period. But from what we saw, they seemed to be tense after that time and chose to take a halt in another town." The masked man answered.
"Hmm, that is strange... How did you lose track of them?" Wu Hei asked in a calm voice.
But upon hearing his calm tone, the masked men only became more tense. They knew they had made a mistake before and were wondering if they were going to be punished for it soon.
"They... entered a pleasure pavilion and didn’t come out for six hours. We thought something was wrong and went to check. From there they had somehow disappeared and we don’t know where they went. We wanted to investigate the pleasure pavilion, but we couldn’t. Six more hours later, one of our scouts reported to us that they had seen them in the next town in the path." The masked man replied in a hurried manner.
Wu Hei went silent and thought again about it. He was not starting to get more interested in the matter, along with being a bit perplexed.
"This pleasure pavilion, what town is it in, and who is it owned by?" Wu Hei questioned.

In the present day.
Lin Mu had just finished up cultivating for the day and was thinking of taking a short break as he had sensed something. The mysterious ring had hummed for a bit and Lin Mu instantly knew the reason for it. He was cultivating before and instantly opened his eyes upon feeling it.
"A spatial rift will be opening." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Ever since gaining better control over the ring, there had been no incidence of the uncontrolled appearance of the spatial rift. Instead, Lin Mu could not see and feel when one of them was going to appear or he could just choose to open one wherever he wanted.
But senior Xukong had told him that doing so would be a waste of time and his previous attempts were likely only because there were some items in the lesser void parallel to this world. At least in this area, Xukong doubted that he would find more items.
’Let’s see what is it this time.’ Lin Mu thought to himself before standing up.
He followed the mysterious ring’s beckoning, which took him to the outskirts of the town. But this time it was talking him towards the southern exit instead of the northern one. Lin Mu exited the town and went a Little distance to the southeast where he finally felt it.
Lin Mu could see a small black dot traveling across from the distance a rather fast speed and understanding the peculiarity of the situation.
"Oh! So it’s a teleportation channel and not just a normal spatial rift." Lin Mu muttered before going after it.
