Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 820 - The Situation At The Kushao Ruins



"How long do you think it will take Senior Lin Mu to arrive?" one of the disciples of the Noon grass sect questioned.

"According to the last we were informed, he should be reaching us in a day or two." Another disciple that seemed to be the leader this time spoke.

The disciples all seemed to be a bit nervous and couldn't help but look in the distance. The Camp of the Noon Grass sect was located some distance away from the camps of the other sects and powers that had arrived in the area.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of the ruins and try to obtain some fortune inside. Unfortunately for them, even if the ruins had appeared, it didn't mean that they could enter it right away.

The main entrance of the ruins was still blocked by several complex formations that had not opened. There were many cultivators trying to figure it out and unlock it. But it was not something that would be done so easily.

That was entirely the reason why they were all setting up camps instead of directly entering the ruins. 

"Hopefully they arrive here before the ruins open… we don't know what kind of a situation Elder Liqiang is in…" another disciple that was wearing a pair of gauntlets spoke.

"About that… I heard that the ruins may open automatically in a week or so. But the others still want to try and see if they can do it beforehand. Don't they know it's dangerous? Why are they still doing it?" A female disciple questioned.

"Everyone in this world strives for resources and fortune. Even if one is born with it, more fortune is always necessary if one wants to keep on growing stronger. That's why even if the ruins might open automatically later, they still want to bet on obtaining more of it early on by doing this.

After all, if they become lucky and enter it, they will have the best harvest." Suddenly, a voice was heard from the side.

All the disciples became alert and looked towards it, only to find an elder standing there.

"ELDER WEIMIN!" The disciples identified the man.

"You're back? Did elder learn anything about Elder Liqiang's disappearance?" The leading disciple questioned.

~Sigh~

"I couldn't find anything particular, but there are some rumors among the others that a few people that appeared at the very start managed to enter the ruins. I'm thinking Elder Liqiang might be one of them." Elder Weimin answered.

"But if that's true, then why are the ruins blocked now?" Another disciple asked.

"We do not know. The Kushao ruins were long since considered lost, but now its reappearance changes things. Originally it was an inheritance ground that many sects wandered to, trying to obtain the inheritance hidden within.

Some succeeded, many failed, but they still kept on trying over the years. The Kushao ruins would appear and disappear every hundred years normally, but they haven't appeared since the disaster five hundred years ago.

They were considered to have been destroyed entirely. But now we know that it's not true, they were simply damaged enough that they do not function the same. That is also probably why its entry is broken and random now.

There are chances that it may randomly open up even now and allow some people to enter." Elder Weimin explained.

"Then will we have to wait for that? What will we do if Senior Lin Mu is not here till then?" He Yun the leading disciple, asked for guidance.

~Sigh~

"That is something we can only leave to fate. We can simply hope that the fates favor us this time and Junior Lin Mu appears before that…" Elder Weimin replied in a tired tone.

"It will still take a day at the very least, I don't know if we are in luck this time…" A disciple who was meditating in the side spoke in a low voice.

"Don't speak if you have nothing good to say and jinx it," The female disciple next to him said.

~whoosh~

At the same time, wind started to blow, and the tent that everyone was sitting on shook.

"Huh? Why the sudden wind?" Hu Yun wondered.

"SENIOR YUN! They are here!" A disciple that was scouting in the distance called out.

Elder Weimin raised his brows and appeared outside to check. The other disciples appeared as well and they could see a red stream approaching them at great speed. It was knocking up winds that reached all the way to them.

~Thud~

~MUSH~

The red streak tried to slow down and blew away a lot of sand before finally halting near the ten. Its breaking had caused a small hill of sand to get accumulated in front of it. Everyone approached it and saw none other than Lin Mu, Jing Luo, and Little Shrubby.

Lin Mu was sitting on Little Shrubby while Jing Luo was holding on to his back, stuck like a koala bear.

"We're here, you can let go now." Lin Mu spoke lightly.

Jing Luo opened his eyes and took a breath of relief. He looked towards Little Shrubby and huffed before looking away.

"I'm never doing this again." Jing Luo stated.

"I don't want to either," Little Shrubby said with a growl.

Lin Mu saw the little banter between the two and could only shake his head. He decided to focus his attention on the task at hand and saw the Noon Grass sect's people standing around them.

"Elder Weimin," Lin Mu greeted with cupped hands.

"Junior Lin Mu… you managed to reach us before time?" Elder Weimin said, still finding it a bit unbelievable.

"Yes… thanks to little Shrubby here, we cut down on a few day's time." Lin Mu said casually.

~growl~

Little Shrubby lifted his head, feeling proud.

"What is the situation right now?" Lin Mu questioned.

"It's like this…" Elder Weimin then went on to explain the way the ruins were working and the other powers that had arrived in the area.

After hearing everything, Lin Mu couldn't help but furrow his brows.

"No matter what, we have to enter it first!"
