Chapter 513 - Fortune And Guilt
Finally, Lin Mu understood that this nascent Soul realm cultivator had some nefarious motives behind his actions. There was no way a nascent soul realm cultivator would randomly assist some random outer court Qi refining realm cultivators like this.
Lin Mu kept on reading, wanting to find out more.
’I knew if I alarmed my companions at that time, the Nascent Soul realm cultivator might just kill us all.
But I did not want to give up on my female companion either. Thus I followed behind the man. Though strangely the man did not fly even though he could and simply waked from the edges of the ravine.
He walked steadily and had the female companion of mine on his back the entire time. They went past winding paths across the ravine and I too followed behind. During the entire time, I was sure that I would be found out, but somehow I wasn’t. The man didn’t even use his spirit sense to check the area around him, as if he was fully confident of himself.
Though I was cautious as well and stayed a couple of hundred meters behind just in case.
Hours passed by before the man finally reached the location he was intending to go to this entire time. It was a small cave that was carved out at the side of the ravine and was hidden from the view of anyone who passed by.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
The book mentioned of more treasures hidden in many places all over the continent. But not all of their clues were in that book. Whoever was the owner of this abode, he didn’t want to pass on his legacy that easily.
He wanted to make sure that his inheritor had the determination and drive that he deemed worth. The books didn’t even mention the cultivation base of the person who this abode belonged to, but seeing all these treasure and the formations that were able to kill a nascent soul realm cultivator, I estimated it to be am Adult stage nascent Soul realm cultivator at the very least.
I also discovered that the nascent Soul realm cultivator who had died was not the first person to find this place. There were plenty of fragments of skeletons that I had missed initially due to my fear.
I collected whatever treasures there were into the five spatial storage rings I found there and hid them in my clothes. Then I made it seem like I had been injured by tearing my clothes and left the cave, returning to my companions.
They were anxious and looking for us this entire time and were scared since we had now been gone for nearly three days. Our senior brother had nearly called the mission off because of this and wanted to report to the sect.
Had it not been for the distance between the ravine and the sect, he would have already called them with the communication jade slip. They were surprised upon seeing me and questioned my disappearance.
I could only attribute this all to the Nascent Soul realm cultivator. They were placated for the time being, but I knew the senior brother had suspected something. I was sleepless that night but finally made a decision.
Using one poison I got from the cave, I spiked the food that we were going to eat that morning. My companions slept unaware of this and finally died by the next afternoon. I still remember their expressions as they died and it will forever stay carved in my memories.’
Reading the entire thing, Lin Mu could only think of this as a classic case of paranoia over fortune.
