Chapter 1054 No Seclusion

Lin Mu's words were both a bit concerning as well as understandable for the elders and Daoist Hua. They too felt like they were weak and their foes were getting stronger, way faster than they were.

This gave them an urge to get stronger, too. Though it still made them wonder how Lin Mu was about to do this.

"I understand that, and what will you be doing for that? Going to enter seclusion?" Patriarch Hua questioned.

"Seclusion? No the time for seclusion is long gone and if I enter it again, I might not come out for who knows how long." Lin Mu replied. "I do not wish for a repeat of this again." He added.

Hearing Lin Mu's answers, the elders and Patriarch didn't know what Lin Mu was going to do. There were limited ways to increase one's power rapidly, and entering seclusion and cultivation with full focus was the most accessible one.

There were these such as using some alchemical pills, spirit herbs, spirit fruits, or other fortunate encounters. But those weren't something that could be used whenever one wanted. Even obtaining them was greatly dependent on one's fate.

If one was not fated, they would not gain them. And even if they did, they might not gain any benefit, perhaps even getting injured from it.

Thus, seclusion was the usual option for most. Though the location of the seclusion could greatly vary and depending on the arrays used, it could be on the same level as that of a fortunate encounter.

This is what Daoist Hua had thought. And the place in their minds was none other than Kong plane.

It had a higher concentration of spirit Qi than most places and even had untouched resources that could greatly help one. It would make sense for Lin Mu to go there for seclusion. He had already done this before after all.

But seeing that he was not speaking about that, they were confused.

"If not seclusion, then what are you going to do, Alliance Leader Lin Mu?" One of the elders asked, unable to figure it out.

"It is something I wanted to prevent at first but I hope you all can forgive me..." Lin Mu answered.

"Huh? What do you" Daoist Hua wanted to ask more, but before he could do that Lin Mu disappeared.

The elders looked around, unable to find. They even spread their spirit sense, but didn't sense Lin Mu anywhere within a few kilometers.

"Let it be he's gone too far for even me to sense him." Patriarch Hua said, as his expression fell.

"Patriarch what is he" Elder Sun was a bit afraid.

Lin Mu's current expression combined with the earlier display was very concerning for them now.

"Whatever he is doing, it will be fine. And if it is not that will just have to be a cost we bear. He's already done more than enough for us. It is our time to support him now." Daoist Hua spoke. "Besides I think the time to hold back as gone as well. If the Gu Legion is taking such an aggressive approach, then we need to match it as well." He added.

"What are we to do then, patriarch?" Hua Langya asked.

A few ideas were already in his mind, but he didn't want to be mistaken.

"For now, we hold the fort and inform our allies. Then, we make sure that nothing else happens until Lin Mu returns." Patriarch Hua replied.

"Very well, we shall do as you instruct." Hua Langya replied.

Daoist Hua nodded his head and looked out of the windows. His gaze went to the bottom of the peak where a certain beast dropped of more disciples. The beast paused for a second as his ears perked up.

Then in the next second, it disappeared in a blur heading to the north of the sect.

'I bid you luck in your endeavors Lin Mu. May you reach the heights we never could and save this world' Daoist Hua prayed in his mind.

~ROAR~

A thunderous roar echoed across the forest as a herd of beasts were scared away by it. As soon as they scattered, a red blur pa.s.sed through where they were before. The beasts shuddered as they saw the trail left behind by the beast, scared.

Little Shrubby traveled at great speed, heading to where Lin Mu had called him. He had sensed his master leaving his vicinity and wondered where he was going without it. But as soon as he heard his call, he knew it was time to leave.

He had already brought all the disciples of the Noon Gra.s.s sect that were scattered around and injured to the peak and had left them in the care of others. With his task finished, Little Shrubby had no need to stop anymore and could go to Lin Mu.

'Master does not seem happy' Little Shrubby thought to himself.

He could tell that Lin Mu had changed in the battle before and there was a hint of angry aura around him now. Little Shrubby felt angry too because of it and wanted to get rid of whatever had made his master like that.

If his master was not fine, he wasn't fine either.

Little Shrubby covered several kilometers in the matter of seconds and finally reached the place where Lin Mu was.

This place was a solitary hill about a hundred kilometers north of the Noon Gra.s.s sect. There was nothing around him other than same trees and an empty circle of about a kilometer was present as well.

It was a landmark used by many while traveling and was an important location.

~WHOOSH~

The wind blew as Little Shrubby arrived at the top of the hill. Lin Mu was standing there as well, staring in the north western direction, his face calm and cold.

"What are we doing, master?" Little Shrubby asked.

"We are going to take a few trips time to cull some cattle that have become a pest now." Lin Mu replied, his eyes glinting in a fierce light.
