Chapter 367: Showing The Proof-II

Lin Mu looked at the two corpses that were now lying on the ground. He had not expected that Wu Hei would kill them without a bit of hesitation.

“Are you sure this was a good idea?” Lin Mu questioned, “I mean what if they were innocent?” he added.

“No, there is no chance they were innocent.” Wu Hei shook his head. “If such a thing is present under the manor, then there is no chance that the Mayor would assign any common guards here. They are definitely his spies.” He explained.

“Alright, if you say so.” Lin Mu said before touching the two dead guards and storing them in his ring.

Wu Hei raised his brows at this, feeling confused.

“Just a precaution…” Lin Mu said with a shrug.

Wu Hei nodded, and the two of them reached the well. Wu Hei scanned it with his spirit sense and saw the water that was flowing deep below.

“Do you need help in getting down? The underground river is rather dangerous.” Wu Hei asked.

“No need…” Lin Mu said before withdrawing his short sword and jumping on it.

He floated to the well and hovered above it. Wu Hei just kept on watching a bit surprised at how effortlessly Lin Mu flew like that. 

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go,” Lin Mu stated.

Wu Hei took out a spirit sword as well and flew down the well along with Lin Mu. It was dark here but Lin Mu simply raised his hand and a flame started burning on it. He lit a torch with it and passed it to Wu Hei. 

“We will need to blow out the torches when we get near the sludge pool though, don’t need another explosion.” Lin Mu informed.

“Oh yes, I know. It similar to the gas from the swamps, they are flammable.” Wu Hei said showing his knowledge.

Lin Mu nodded before talking him to the place where he had gone before. He showed him the damaged runes and finally the blocked door at the end of the corridor. Wu Hei could also smell the fouled smell and squinted his nose.

He used his spirit sense and checked the barrier on the door.

“Hmm, this is definitely a defensive barrier. But one that’s beyond our level currently… I believe only a nascent soul realm cultivator would be able to set up something like this.” Wu Hei analyzed.

He stroked his chin a couple of times before speaking, “I’ll try and see if we can find a solution to this. I’ll have to research a bit.”

“As long as you can get me into the ancestral temple, we may not need it at all. Or… if we can find the entrance that the Gu Legion has been using. There should definitely be one somewhere.” Lin Mu replied.

“Yes, that would be much easier… after we leave let me take care of the temple guards.” Wu Hei said.

The two of them then headed to the sludge pool and stopped a distance away from it. They could see that the torches were flaring up and the gas was probably causing that.

“I have something that can help…” Wu Hei said.

He then took out a small fingernail sized marble from his spatial storage treasure and poured some spirit qi into it.

~Shua~

Then with a muffled noise, the marble started glowing. The light grew brighter and was now enough for them to see an area of ten meters clearly.

“This is an illumination marble, a low grade spirit tool.” Xukong explained.

This was the first time Lin Mu was seeing a spirit tool like this. But he could also understand that this was technically a luxury item for people, as there were easier and cheaper ways to create light than using spirit qi.

Under the illumination of the marble, they could finally see the sludge pool and the Small troughs which carried the waste blood to it. Wu Hei furrowed his brows and had not expected that the sludge pool would really be this big.

‘And if Lin Mu is right, then there are more of these…’ Wu Hei thought as he tried calculating the amount of blood and corpses that would be required to fill them all.

No matter what denomination he used, the Numbers kept on being high according to his calculations.

“Beyond that wall is possible the main chamber where the blood sacrifice happens. I’ve tried to break it, but it has a qi barrier on it too.” Lin Mu stated.

Wu Hei flipped his hand and the spirit sword appeared in front of him. He closed his eyes and swiped his index and middle fingers over the flat side of the blade, making some runes appeared on it. 

~HAA~

Wu Hei slashed the sword forward and a sword beam traveled forward, striking the Wall. A cloud of dust was knocked up, but was quickly blown away with a flick of Wu Hei’s sleeve. Looking at the result made Wu Hei a bit depressed.

“It is tough…” Wu Hei simply said before turning around.

“Let’s get out. I’ll go figure out something to get you into the ancestral temple.” Wu Hei spoke.

“Alright…” Lin Mu replied before they quickly left the tunnels the same way they had come in. 

Once they were out Lin Mu thought of something and asked, “how will you explain the disappearance of the two guards though?” 

“It will be easy, I can just blame it on whatever intruder that came here a couple of days ago. Mother has still been bothered by it.” Wu Hei answered.

“Uh… Umm…” Lin Mu muttered awkwardly.

“Is there a problem?” Wu Hei questioned, seeing his reaction.

“That intruder… that was me… I checked the carriage that your mother was traveling in curiously and didn’t expect that this would happen.” Lin Mu explained.

“Ahaha! This works then… technically I’m not lying then.” Wu Hei joked as they walked to the Manor.

Lin Mu awkwardly rubbed the back of his head in response.

“I’ll take my leave then, inform me when it’s time.” Lin Mu said, before leaving for his courtyard.
