Chapter 698 - The Two Disciples Leave The City

Having heard Lin Mu's words, Jing Luo nodded his head. Talking directly with the two disciples of the Noon Gra.s.s sect might not really be good.

"Hmm… how do we go about this?" Jing Luo muttered as he started to think.

Lin Mu did the same and the two of them discussed several points on how they could be made to work. A few minutes pa.s.sed like this when Lin Mu suddenly sensed something. He had his spirit sense spread around almost always and suddenly felt a few familiar people.

"Oh? Speak of the devils…" Lin Mu said.

"What happened?" Jing Luo questioned.

"The two disciples, they are nearby." Lin Mu answered.

"Hmm… let's take a look. Perhaps we'll get to know something that might help us in figuring this out." Jing Luo suggested.

"Alright," Lin Mu said and flew out of the courtyard.

The two of them made their way towards the two disciples who were heading towards one of the exits of the city. The Hong Lin city had multiple exits, both large main ones, and smaller unofficial ones.

The two disciples were using one of the smaller ones which went from the neighborhood where Lin Mu and Jing Luo had gotten into the courtyard. They had picked this neighborhood for its relative remoteness and fewer people and it seemed like the two disciples were taking this route for that very same reason.

Thankfully, the two disciples were not using their spirit sense or they would have detected Lin Mu rather quickly. It was evident that they were following the aim of staying low-key to the maximum such that they didn't want to accidentally alert someone else with their spirit sense.

While they could, of course sense someone else's spirit sense if it came near them, Lin Mu's spirit sense was far more refined than most people such that they couldn't even detect it. It was the same with his cultivation base which could not be perceived unless he displayed it himself.

Jing Luo on the other hand, didn't use his spirit sense and also used a spirit tool to hide his spirit Qi fluctuations. Since the presence of any Nascent soul realm cultivator could be met with interest and even suspicion, it was best for them to hide it.

Lin Mu and Jing Luo watched as the two disciples left the city and went in the northern direction after changing their path.

"Oh?" Lin Mu recognized where they were going.

"They're going to the place where we rested at first." Jing Luo also identified.

"Hmm… perhaps they are investigating us as well." Lin Mu spoke while furrowing his brows.

After a few minutes, the two disciples came to a stop at the hill where Lin Mu and Jing Luo had paused.

"Just as we thought… you wait here, I'll see what they are talking about from underground." Lin Mu said before he sank into the ground using Phase.

Jing Luo looked at the disappearing Lin Mu and muttered to himself, "I can never get used to seeing that…"

Lin Mu quickly approached the two disciples and hid within one of the trees behind them. This distance was enough for Lin Mu to hear what they were talking about clearly.

"Are you sure this is the place where the spirit Qi fluctuations came from senior brother?" The junior brother questioned.

The senior brother kneeled on the ground and touched the gra.s.s that had some imprints on it. He closed his eyes and spread his spirit sense around, which Lin Mu felt, and quickly blinked away to a place deeper underground.

'Close!' Lin Mu thought to himself.

After about a minute, the senior brother withdrew his spirit sense and opened his eyes.

"Mmmhmm, they were here. There were in fact three cultivators here, two humans and one beast." The senior brother stated.

"Huh? A beast as well?" The junior brother asked.

"Indeed. And from the traces of spirit Qi I can feel… all of them were at the Nascent Soul realm." The senior brother replied.

"That… how can that be? It would make sense if it was two human cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm but a beast as well? Normally, this should have been met with a conflict between them.

I don't think it can be a tamed beast either. No Nascent Soul realm cultivator can tame a Nascent Soul realm beast." The junior brother expressed his doubts.

The senior brother nodded his head in response to his junior brother's a.n.a.lysis.

"You're right, junior brother. I don't think the beast was free. Perhaps it was restrained and the two Nascent soul realm cultivators were transporting it somewhere. The spirit Qi fluctuation we felt might not even be a breakthrough but rather the signs of a struggle." The senior brother spoke.

"A struggle? But there are no signs of a battle or fight here." The Junior brother stated.

"Don't forget, a struggle need not be a direct fight. What if the struggle was due to the beast trying to escape whatever restrictive formations were placed on it and the humans trying to stop that or add more formations?" The Senior brother replied.

"I see…" The junior brother said in an understanding tone.

Lin Mu who listened to everything, shook his head.

"They got no idea whatsoever… the only thing they got right is the two humans and one beast part, right. Still… that's good since we have the advantage due to being in the dark." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He switched his focus back to the two disciples as he heard them talk again.

"Now that we have checked this place, at least we know that the Nascent Soul realm cultivators are not here anymore. We can talk further about the situation with the King, senior brother.

How are we going to get a tribulation platform made? Neither of us is proficient in formations enough to be able to make one." The Junior brother stated.

"Hmm… I fear we may have to look for external help for that.." The senior brother replied.
