Chapter 367 - Showing The Proof-II
Lin Mu looked at the two corpses that were now lying on the ground. He had not expected that Wu Hei would kill them without a bit of hesitation.
"Are you sure this was a good idea?" Lin Mu questioned, "I mean what if they were innocent?" he added.
"No, there is no chance they were innocent." Wu Hei shook his head. "If such a thing is present under the manor, then there is no chance that the Mayor would assign any common guards here. They are definitely his spies." He explained.
"Alright, if you say so." Lin Mu said before touching the two dead guards and storing them in his ring.
Wu Hei raised his brows at this, feeling confused.
"Just a precaution..." Lin Mu said with a shrug.
Wu Hei nodded, and the two of them reached the well. Wu Hei scanned it with his spirit sense and saw the water that was flowing deep below.
"Do you need help in getting down? The underground river is rather dangerous." Wu Hei asked.
"No need..." Lin Mu said before withdrawing his short sword and jumping on it.
He floated to the well and hovered above it. Wu Hei just kept on watching a bit surprised at how effortlessly Lin Mu flew like that.
"What are you waiting for? Let’s go," Lin Mu stated.
Wu Hei took out a spirit sword as well and flew down the well along with Lin Mu. It was dark here but Lin Mu simply raised his hand and a flame started burning on it. He lit a torch with it and passed it to Wu Hei.
"We will need to blow out the torches when we get near the sludge pool though, don’t need another explosion." Lin Mu informed.
No matter what denomination he used, the Numbers kept on being high according to his calculations.
"Beyond that wall is possible the main chamber where the blood sacrifice happens. I’ve tried to break it, but it has a qi barrier on it too." Lin Mu stated.
Wu Hei flipped his hand and the spirit sword appeared in front of him. He closed his eyes and swiped his index and middle fingers over the flat side of the blade, making some runes appeared on it.
~HAA~
Wu Hei slashed the sword forward and a sword beam traveled forward, striking the Wall. A cloud of dust was knocked up, but was quickly blown away with a flick of Wu Hei’s sleeve. Looking at the result made Wu Hei a bit depressed.
"It is tough..." Wu Hei simply said before turning around.
"Let’s get out. I’ll go figure out something to get you into the ancestral temple." Wu Hei spoke.
"Alright..." Lin Mu replied before they quickly left the tunnels the same way they had come in.
Once they were out Lin Mu thought of something and asked, "how will you explain the disappearance of the two guards though?"
"It will be easy, I can just blame it on whatever intruder that came here a couple of days ago. Mother has still been bothered by it." Wu Hei answered.
"Uh... Umm..." Lin Mu muttered awkwardly.
"Is there a problem?" Wu Hei questioned, seeing his reaction.
"That intruder... that was me... I checked the carriage that your mother was traveling in curiously and didn’t expect that this would happen." Lin Mu explained.
"Ahaha! This works then... technically I’m not lying then." Wu Hei joked as they walked to the Manor.
Lin Mu awkwardly rubbed the back of his head in response.
"I’ll take my leave then, inform me when it’s time." Lin Mu said, before leaving for his courtyard.
