Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 482 - Two Broken Men

Lin Mu had definitely not expected to meet the former crown prince here. He recognized the name as he had heard that a few times before. The last time he heard about a prince was from Tongguo Bing who had told him that the prince came to the Big Zhao’s Heavenly Delicacies restaurant with the other young masters of the noble clans of the city.

He had thought that this was the none other than Shuang Zedong, but it turned out to be false. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"How did you become like this? If you’re not the crown prince, who is now?" Lin Mu questioned, feeling shocked.

"The crown prince is none other than my second brother now." Shuang Zedong spoke.

"Second brother? You had a brother?" Lin Mu questioned.

Till now he had not heard that the king had another child from the queen. He knew that there were more children from the concubines but not from the queen.

~Sigh~

"He is not my blood brother, rather the son of my father’s favorite concubine. He schemed against me and assassinate me with the assistance of Gu Yao. But Lord Wu Hei managed to save me." Shuang Zedong spoke.

"What! But the assassination of a prince would have been great news if it happened." Lin Mu said.

"Indeed... but the current crown prince managed to convince father that letting such news spread would be bad for the current morale of the kingdom. Instead, they fabricated a story of how I have entered seclusion to focus on cultivation and have given up on my position of the crown prince." Shuang Zedong explained.

"This... utterly ridiculous! How can the king be so stupid?" Lin Mu said, feeling enraged.

Lin Mu’s thoughts about the aristocrats and nobles were already in the negative since before, and now this was only infuriating him more.

"I don’t know either. But our best guess is that the concubine had managed to charm the king so badly that he does not question his own actions." Shuang Zedong spoke.

"Wu Xun also had a hand in this and supported the current crown prince’s rise to his position." Wu Hei added.

Hearing the answer only made Lin Mu angry but then he forcibly calmed himself down. He swore to himself he would take them down one by one.

"I believe I should introduce myself now." The final man who was remaining in the group spoke. "I am nameless, one of the elders of the Gu Legion." He revealed.

Lin Mu raised his brows as he looked at Wu Hei for answers.

"He is another person who has been aware of the Gu Legion for a long time. In fact, he knew about them before me and had the same aim as me to decimate them." Wu Hei spoke.

"Then why did you join the Gu Legion." Lin Mu questioned, still not feeling safe with the man.

"My family was exterminated by the Gu Legion as well. Back then I was a wandering cultivator and had been away from them for a long time. But when I returned, I found them to all be dead and only skeletons were left behind in our house. All twenty members of my family were dead.

It took me a couple of years before I was able to find out who the culprits were. I originally wanted to kill them and die in the process, but I realize that it was not just my family who was their target. Many more had been affected and more would be coming in the future.

Unlike my family, they did not have people to avenge them and thus I took it upon myself. I researched more about the Gu Legion and found out that they had a lot more power than I had expected.

Knowing that I would not be able to kill them all myself, I had to take a different approach. Eventually, an opportunity presented to me and I infiltrated the Gu Legion. I rose up the ranks and managed to sabotage the plans of the Gu Legions.

Although I was not always successful." Nameless explained.

"He was the one who actually managed to hide the existence of the Hei Corps for so long. Nameless would kill the members who found out about the Hei corps. All these years I wondered if I was just lucky but it turned out that I had a hidden ally all this time." Wu Hei added.

"You are an honorable man." Lin Mu praised.

He couldn’t imagine what the man would have gone through all these years. Knowing that the killers of his family were with him, yet not being able to act and wait patiently. If it were Lin Mu in his place, he probably would have lost his patience a long time ago and slaughtered them all.

"Now that the introductions are all over, I believe we can get started. Brother Lin Mu will be the one who’s going to execute the main part of the plan while we all will be supporting him." Wu Hei spoke.

"Yes, so what is our first target?" Lin Mu asked.

"It is none other than the Tri Cauldron peony sect." Wu Hei answered.

"Hmm... I’m fine with it, what’s the information on it, and what do I need to do?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Originally our first target was going to be the Cloven Sea sect, but a different event is going to happen at the Tri cauldron peony sect in a few days which will present us with the best opportunity." Wu Hei answered.

"And what is this event?" Lin Mu asked.

"One of the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect will be undergoing his Nascent Soul realm breakthrough. There is going to be a ceremony and the people will be observing a tribulation platform for it.

The person who is undergoing the heavenly tribulation is one of the talented alchemists of the sect, Alchemist Bilao." Wu Hei revealed.

"Alchemist Bilao?!" Lin Mu exclaimed, recognizing the name. This was the very person who had made the Dark Soil pill for him.
