Having gotten the confirmation from Lin Mu, King Hong certainly felt better than before. He just hoped that it would never come to the point where Gu Yao would act before them and they would be left as sitting ducks.
"That's good then. We have one less thing to worry about." Adviser Liu said in a relieved tone.
"We can't get complacent though. If Gu Yao finds something he's unable to control something, he would rather have it eliminated permanently. You will have to watch out for that.
Though for now, the best would be to stay hidden and get stronger. Those that have already taken the oath will keep the secret, thus King Hong can still run his kingdom while here.
The only thing you mustn't do is appearing in front of the public.. Your appearance... well, it's more than enough to catch a lot of attention. Plus, your vitality... you need to learn how to control it." Lin Mu stated.
"My vitality?" King Hong questioned and looked at himself.
"Indeed, King Hong... your vitality is quite oppressive." Hua San spoke.
King Hong closed his eyes and focused on his body. After about a minute, the pressure exuded by him reduced considerably.
~phew~
"That was slightly more difficult than I had expected." King Hong muttered.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.
"That's good. You'll get a better hold over it soon enough." Lin Mu spoke.
It was also during this week that Lin Mu finally revived the news that he had been waiting for.
"Master, I found it! I found the wandering sinkhole!" Little Shrubby sent out a message through their link.
Lin Mu who was deep in cultivation, woke up immediately as his aura spiked for a few seconds. He quickly controlled it and responded, "where?".
While Lin Mu could sense the approximate direction of Little Shrubby, it was still hard to pin point the exact location. Lin Mu could of course, fly in that vague direction till the link got stronger and he could find the exact position, but with the characteristics of the wandering sinkhole, there was a specific time period that they needed to keep up with.
"Two hundred kilometers to the south from where we met the weird herb." Little Shrubby answered.
"I'm coming!" Lin Mu said before flying out from the courtyard.
A gust of wind ran through the city as Lin Mu left at a very high speed. A lot of commoners complained about the strange winds that came from time to time, unaware that it was actually caused by a cultivator.
As for the cultivators, they could not see Lin Mu either as he would end up using blink in addition to flying. Plus, his speed was simply too fast for them to observe easily, anyway. While on the way there, Lin Mu informed King Hong and the rest that he was leaving and that the wandering sinkhole had appeared.
They had already been informed how he would be acting upon the appearance of the wanderer sinkhole due to the time limitation and were fine with him leaving without telling them before this.
Lin Mu also contacted Jing Luo, who was now on the western border setting up the formation array there.
"Little Shrubby found the Wandering sinkhole." Lin Mu informed.
"Excellent! Keep an eye out for some other useful resources and be careful about the dangers. I hope you can come back as soon as possible." Jing Luo replied.
