Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 460 - Wu Hei Is Not Controlled?

Lin Mu had not expected that he would directly find a clue about Gu Yao’s whereabouts. He had been prepared to search here for a while but this was quite unexpected.

"Senior if I break Wu Hei out of Gu Yao’s control somehow, will Gu Yao know?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Hmm... unless he is in the range of his direct control I doubt it. We already saw back at the cloud chamber below the ancestral temple that he needs to give his servants verbal commands. He can’t communicate with them telepathically.

So as long as they are at a sufficient distance from him, there shouldn’t be a problem. The real problem will happen afterward if Gu Yao or that person gets close to him." Xukong replied.

"This will make it a bit more difficult then..." Lin Mu replied.

"Wait a minute, I think not. Look at Wu Hei," Xukong suddenly said.

Lin Mu directed his focus back onto Wu Hei and saw that he had taken out another sheet of paper from his desk. This sheet was blank but was of the same type as the one on which the document was written on.

He then started copying down everything from the document while making certain changes. The changes he made were in the part where it mentioned the sending location of the cultivators.

"Huh? Why did he change this location?... no wait... is he?" Lin Mu said feeling shocked.

"Looks like we didn’t have to worry about him as much... he’s not in the control of Gu Yao." Xukong said with a chuckle. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"But how?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Well, why don’t you ask him afterwards and see for yourself?" Xukong replied.

Lin Mu nodded his head and decided to wait and watch. He still had his doubts about Wu Hei being controlled, and was wondering if this was just something he was doing on his own.

After Wu Hei finished writing the forged document, he rolled it up and called a person.

"Send this to the next outpost," Wu Hei ordered.

"Yes!" the person replied before leaving for his task.

He activated the talisman, which was actually a bracelet that they were all wearing under their sleeves. Lin Mu had not seen it before, but now he had a clear sight of it.

~shua~

The man disappeared into thin air and Lin Mu could sense the spatial fluctuations moving farther away. After the man was gone, Wu Hei slumped down on his chair and let out a sigh, rubbing his temple. He didn’t even speak a word and just rested his eyes.

Seeing them use teleporting talismans had also confirmed another thing for Lin Mu; their links to the Northern Tribes.

As far as he knew, the northern tribes had the knowledge about teleportation formations, and while the people in the Great Zhou Empire had also learned of it, they did not have the same expertise.

Making a teleportation formation required skilled formation masters and making a talisman was even more difficult. Most of them were fixed formations, which made it easier to establish a teleportation channel.

If a talisman was used, the point of teleportation would change often, which would lead to the channel changing as well. This would end up using more energy and resources which would only make the process expensive.

To make this process cheaper was something that was lost with the disappearance of the Grand northern Alliance. Lin Mu reckoned that Gu Yao was having the backing of northern tribes or making so many teleportation talismans, that too multiple use ones would have been very expensive.

"I’ll take a look around the rest of the area." Lin Mu muttered before moving.

One of his spirit sense tendrils was still focused on Wu Hei so he didn’t miss his actions, while he moved around in the cave. He memorized the appearances of each and every person here and also went on to check the rest of the things kept here.

Most of the place was empty, which seemed strange to him, but he assumed that they kept their communication to the minimum so as to keep it secret and avoid leaking.

The things that were kept in the cave were mostly resources, such as spirit herbs and some spirit stones.

"Seems like this is their shipment..." Lin Mu guessed.

"But their quantity is less than mentioned in the document, looks like they are waiting for more." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

He was going to look more around the cave, but then Wu Hei woke up. He touched the bracelet in his hand and teleported again. Lin Mu instantly used Fade and followed behind him.

"Is he going to end up in the same place where he came from? Or will it take him someplace else in the city?" Lin Mu wondered.

Another thing Lin Mu noticed was that the speed at which the spatial fluctuations were moving at was slower than before.

"Why is it slow now?" Lin Mu questioned.

"It’s likely a limitation on the teleportation talisman. Even if it is a multiple use teleportation talisman, the number of times he can use it in a day must be less. So far we have seen him use it twice, so we can put that as the minimum number.

Though we don’t know if it depends on his own spirit Qi to operate or has a separate store of spirit Qi store." Xukong answered.

"I understand senior." Lin Mu said, continuing his journey.

This time due to the teleportation being slower, Lin Mu didn’t lose track of Wu Hei and was able to follow behind him rather easily. They soon reached the capital city and Lin Mu used fade to enter it again.

As Lin Mu had guessed, Wu Hei appeared in the same desolate alley from where he had teleported at the start. Wu Hei spread his spirit sense around and checked for any people in the area.

Seeing that there was no one there, he was about to leave, but then a voice stopped him.

"Wu Hei..."
