Chapter 404 - Control And Punishment
Lin Mu recognized what Gu Yao was doing. He had seen something like it before and linked that to it. And seeing how he had been infected by the invader as well, there was only one answer.
"He’s using the invader’s ability!" Lin Mu exclaimed internally.
Lin Mu had already seen a few examples where the invader had been controlling others. The invader had hidden within the ashen cloak mercenary’s dead body when he was killed by the great slumber bear who was also infected by the Invader.
From what he could tell that the Great Slumber bear was perhaps the very first being that was infected by the invader or could have even been the one to spread it. But then when he considered that there were other beasts like the Blight Dust Beast, he thought otherwise.
Lin Mu had learned from Duan Ke that the Blight Dust beast never left its territory, and neither did the Great Slumber bear go there. Which meant that there was a different way that it had spread.
’Maybe the great slumber bear was not even supposed to be infected. If this merchant had brought both of them here, then maybe it happened during their fight. If he was going to capture a Strong beast like the great slumber bear, it wouldn’t make sense to weaken it with the invader...’ Lin Mu thought.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
While Lin Mu was thinking this, not even five seconds has passed. Gu Yao had sped up his process and was not targeting Wu Teng. The man was already injured and thus could not put up a fight physically. Thought his willpower was another thing.
"I’ll die but won’t let you do this!" Wu Teng yelled, breaking through the restrictions.
"Oh my, what a strong will nephew. You’ve certainly inherited this from the bloodline of the Gu clan. If we didn’t have a strong will we wouldn’t have survived all this time." Gu Yao said before making a seal with his hand and throwing it to Wu Teng.
~Clack~
The seal tightened around Wu Teng’s body tightly and the sound of a bones cracking was heard.
"Tell me you can detect lies using your skill right?" Lin Mu questioned, not bothered by his words.
"I do, but why does that matter that to you?" Gu Yao replied, getting annoyed.
"Ask me again what my master’s cultivation base is," Lin Mu asked with a smile.
"Don’t waste my time, when I already know that." Gu Yao said, raising his hand, ready to act.
"Try again, if I’m lying you can kill me, anyway. Or is it that you are scared?" Lin Mu taunted.
~Tch~
"Pesky brat! I’ll sever your limbs and refine your body into a pill if you dare to lie!" Gu Yao threatened.
Lin Mu kept on watching him while maintaining the control of his spirit sense. But just as he was about to speak again, he heard another voice.
"Your servant greets master," Wu Teng said.
Gu Yao had succeeded in controlling Wu Teng as well.
"Good, good, now on to the next one." Gu Yao looked at the remaining people, before settling on peak master Yi Deng.
He flicked his hand and more blood streams covered Yi Deng.
"Now where were we? Ah yes, your upcoming punishment." Gu Yao said while looking at Lin Mu with an evil glint in his eyes.
