Chapter 1109 The Top Sects Come Around

Lin Mu’s disappearance without a word was certainly met with unease in the alliance. But since his actions were rather open, they could somewhat guess what was happening. Additionally, Jing Luo’s return from the ancestral lands had helped the alliance know what Lin Mu was doing.

After all, many of the things that Lin Mu did were known by Jing Luo as it was among the many plans they had discussed. Because of this, the alliance could pick up from the devastation that Lin Mu left behind and work upon it.

Then the arrival of the disciples from the fallen sects also let the alliance know quite a lot. The disciples of the Ripple Mist sect were questioned in detail about all that had happened. And not only this, but it was all recorded and documented.

This helped to assuage the Top three sects and make them calm down. Originally they had been greatly upset with the fall of the sects. After all, if one top sect could fall with the offense of just a single person, it would set a bad precedent in the eyes of the people.

The top sects were unshakable powers in the eyes of the commoners and cultivators alike. Even the kingdoms weren’t said to be as stable as the top sects and perhaps only the empire could stand on the same level.

But now all of that had been flipped on its head. The people saw the reality of it all and understood they weren’t the sovereigns they pretended to be. Just like the commoners who could be killed at any time, these sects now had something to be afraid of.

And when the truth of the Gu Legion and Gu Yao was fully revealed to the top sects, they were left red faced. They had been fooled for a long item and now needed to make up the face that they had lost.

The Long cloud alliance had been working on all this with the help of Jing Luo while Lin Mu soloed the Gu Legion and the Zither Wind alliance.

Still, the alliance had a lot that they wanted to talk to Lin Mu about. Even if they knew that there was little chance of Lin Mu getting in trouble, him not communicating with them left them nervous.

And now finally, he had opened the line of communication again.

Jing Luo had been working at this moment and was left frozen upon feeling the jade slip hum. It was a jade slip exclusively reserved for Lin Mu, and no one else would contact him on it.

”LIN MU?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?” Jing Luo shouted.

”I’m on my way to the Echo Conch kingdom.” Lin Mu replied.

”The Echo Conch Kingdom? Why?” Jing Luo was confused.

”I’ll keep it short. I eradicated the Zither Wind sect and found Jiao Fang there. He gave me the information about where the Gu Legion’s headquarters is hidden and how Gu Yao had been hiding.” Lin Mu quickly spoke.

”Huh? WAIT! You’re heading there alone?” Jing Luo hurriedly asked.

He wasn’t shocked that the Zither Wind sect was gone, but that Lin Mu was now going against Gu Yao on his own. Even if the Top sects were powerful, by now they knew Gu Yao was in an entirely different league of his own.

Even if he might not be that strong on his own, he had many other ways to harm someone. There was no saying what he had hidden in his sleeve.

”I’m going with Little Shrubby.” Lin Mu replied.

”You can’t do that! Wait for us! The entire alliance will come for this! It’s too dangerous!” Jing Luo stated.

”No, the way I’m going to do things, others being there will only put them in danger. Besides, the Gu legion’s headquarters is in a separate plane just like we talked before. And the way to enter it is only using talismans. 

I can open a rift and enter with little Shrubby, but brining more people won’t be a viable option. Not to mention, there is always a danger of the rifts going wrong.” Lin Mu explained.

”Still… this is…” Jing Luo tried to convince Lin Mu.

”Hang on, I’m contacting you to tell you something else. I want you to prepare the alliance for the Northern Tribes. If my hunch is right, they won’t sit still once Gu Yao is gone. Get everyone on board and prepare for an offense from their end.” Lin Mu stated.

Jing Luo gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He knew Lin Mu well enough to trust his judgment.

”Fine… if you say so. We’ll do that.” Jing Luo replied.

Lin Mu was about to stop the link when Jing Luo spoke once more.

”The top sects are now willing to listen to us.” Jing Luo stated.

”Oh? They finally are?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes… though it’s mostly to save their own face. They are not really fine with you, though. No matter what we’d tell them, they would still take your act of eradicating the three sects as a great crime.

There are talks of giving you a death penalty too.” Jing Luo said, a hint of anger in his voice.

”Hah! They can try.” Lin Mu couldn’t help but chuckle.

”It will never come to that. Grandfather will leave the ancestral lands soon. We can freely communicate with them now. Once grandfather is out, the top three will have to face justice.

Forget about targeting you. They will first have to see if they can even save the skin on their backs!” Jing Luo said with excitement.

”Mm… I’ll look forward to that. But for now… I need to leave. The faster I reach there, the greater the chance of me catching Gu Yao off guard. I doubt they know about the Zither Wind sect’s falling yet.

Once they know that, they will probably try to do something else to save themselves. It’s best they don’t leave the place or we’ll have to run after them again.” Lin Mu stated.
