Having learned from Lin Mu about the Flame Pool Drakes, King Hong felt his curiosity being satisfied. Though at the same time, he felt a little disappointed that he didn't have a dragon bloodline.
Lin Mu and King Hong returned to the court, where they talked for a couple more hours before he decided to leave.
"I'll head off now. You should keep an eye out for any suspicious things." Lin Mu spoke.
"I will. I'll also get our allies at the Long Cloud sect informed of that humanoid mutant you found." King Hong replied.
Lin Mu had told him about what he had found at the Iron Bull city and the possible implications of it. He had a hunch that there might web way more of such Humanoid mutants in the empire.
But the places they were hidden away would be a very difficult thing to find out. Lin Mu would certainly not be able to do it on his own alone and would need the assistance of the alliance.
Though right now they too were in a difficult situation with the ongoing conflict with the Zither Wind alliance. All three of the sects had been stopped in the borders of their sects and were being prevented from leaving by the three sects of the Zither wind alliance.
'I need to get that solved too... it might have to be a radical choice too...' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Lin Mu intended to cover all the losses that had happened in the time he was in seclusion and wanted to fix things back to normal. With his new found strength, he had a lot more confidence.
~shua~
The teleportation gate activated in front of Lin Mu and he entered it, leaving behind King Hong.
~phew~
"Now that he's finally back, we can begin our counterattack..." King Hong muttered as a determined expression appeared on his face.
"MINISTERS!" King Hong called out.
"Yes, King Hong!" they all replied.
"It's finally time for payback. Get ready," King Hong said with a smile.
Lin Mu took a quick look through the records in the jade slip and nodded his head. This was mostly the recent developments in the Fenlong kingdom and how things had been faring here.
"Now then, can you tell me where is Jing Luo?" Lin Mu asked.
"You'll find Elder Jing Luo beyond the border of the Fenlong kingdom. He has been helping the other elders of my clan in setting up the second ring of defense against the Kingdom of Shu." Miss Fen replied.
Lin Mu's brows furrowed, but he nodded his head. He had heard of the conflict before and had some idea about it. That was also why he had gotten the jade slip, as it would help him figure out the situation.
"I shall leave then." Lin Mu said flatly.
"Oh, before you go, alliance leader." Miss Fen interrupted. "Once you go past fifty kilometers from the border, the communication jade slips will stop working. Thus, if you want to send any messages, you will have to get a messenger to do it for you."
"I'll keep that in mind." Lin Mu replied and disappeared.
~Sigh~
Miss Fen sighed to herself and shook her head.
"Perhaps that is really a tall goal. We'll have to postpone it till after everything is resolved. He's too busy with all that is happening now." Miss Fen muttered to herself before leaving to do her own work.
While it looked like Lin Mu had left, he had actually not. Instead, he had just blinked and hid within the ground. He had sensed the strangeness of Miss Fen's actions and felt suspicious about it.
And now that he heard her words, he knew something was up.
'What is going on?' Lin Mu felt confused.
He spread his spirit sense around and checked everyone around him for any traces of human controlling blood curse and the signs of Invader.
"Hmm... nothing here. Thankfully." Lin Mu muttered with relief.
"But then, what is up with them?" Lin Mu couldn't help but question.
