Chapter 330 - Finding The Secret Location
Lin Mu thought over it and realized that he didn’t know who was the mayor before this.
"I don’t know Senior." Lin Mu replied.
"Hmm, then perhaps that is what we need to find out. That could be the key to the identity of the culprits." Xukong said.
Lin Mu nodded and started to move towards the exit of the tunnel. It was already starting to get a bit hard for him to breathe here and he understood that the air was thinning out. It would take a while before this area was breathable again.
But then he realized that the sludge pool will probably turn the air foul again, and he may have to repeat the same thing as before again.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
’Wait, the foul smell was not just from here, was it? I was able to smell it on the very end that too beyond the river, where the air was fresh. The foul smell should have dissipated there, but there was still some of it in those tunnels.’ Lin Mu thought.
"Senior, I think this is not the only sludge pool and they are more of them. Or the air would not have been so bad in other tunnels." Lin Mu stated his concern.
"That does seem likely." Xukong acknowledged.
Lin Mu soon reached the end of the tunnel, and the sound of the river could be heard again. He continued following it and reached another branch where there was a bigger tunnel heading deep. Lin Mu saw the runes carved there as well, and the uncomfortable feeling that was coming off it.
"Seems like you found another one," Xukong said.
"The ancestral temple! It’s roughly below it..." Lin Mu muttered.
"Did you sense any caves below the temple?" Xukong asked.
"No senior. They are probably quite deep into the ground beside the ground below the temple was also quite dense and mostly made up of rocks which my spirit sense could not penetrate." Lin Mu answered.
"Hmm, seems like we will need to investigate the temple. Perhaps you can take advantage of your connection with Wu Hei?" Xukong said.
"Yes, that could work, but if it doesn’t then I’ll just enter it directly with the help of my skills." Lin Mu said with a sharp expression on his face.
Having said this, he started his journey back to his courtyard. It was now getting dark and the sun was hidden beyond the horizon, with the sky a shade of orange. Along the way, Lin Mu avoided the Alluring Wisteria pavilion and reached the courtyard.
"Welcome back, master Lin Mu." The servant greeted.
Lin Mu nodded and stepped in.
"Should I prepare the dinner?" The servant asked.
"Umm, I’ll take a bath first." Lin Mu said.
"I’ll set it up right now." The servant said before going away.
Having spent his time underground in a smelly place had made him feel a bit gross. Thus Lin Mu wanted to clean up as fast as possible. Soon the bath was set up and Lin Mu was soaking in a warm pool of water, with his clothes sent for washing.
