Walker Of The Worlds

Even if Lin Mu was highly confident of being able to take out a lot of the experts on his own, with his experience of fighting the multiple Dao Treading realm experts from before, he didn't think the same would apply to the Immortal Ascension realm experts of the tribes.

"I just got some news!" Daoist Hua spoke up.

"What?" Lin Mu and many others looked towards him.

"The Ancestor of the Centennial Sword sect is on his way!" Daoist Hua announced.

"Good." The people couldn't help but say.

"What about the other two?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Even if they don't arrive now, once they sense the presence of the Tribes Immortal Ascension realm experts, they shouldn't sit still. They will be the first ones to arrive, even if their own patriarchs and elders don't." Daoist Hua answered.

"Mmhmm… even if the current leadership of those sects is crooked, the ancestors have lived through the wars of the past. They know about the true dangers and will act the moment they deem it worthy." Patriarch Shandian chimed in.

"Still… to wait this long." Lin Mu said, feeling unsure.

"I have my doubts that it is not that they don't want to appear, but they might be forced to. All this only makes me think that the ancestors of the Sky precepts sect and the Rainbow Pill sect aren't fine. They might already be running out of their lifespan." Patriarch You Yi expressed.

"So this might as well be their last hurrah?" Jing Luo said, his expression complex.

He knew that his grandfather was similar to that too and actually didn't have that long to live. That was if… he didn't breakthrough.

Pushing these thoughts away for now, he decided to focus on the task at hand.

Lin Mu did the same and started calculating the right time to activate their traps.

'At the rate they are moving, they should reach the decided point in about five minutes. Though with their increased numbers, the traps might not be enough.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He looked at the multiple large gates in the distance and only hoped that they work just as he hoped.

'If they arrive at the right time, we might have the issue of numbers solved for the time being.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Everyone's expression were tense as they started at the approaching army. With numbers this high, this might as well be the biggest war the Xiaofan world has seen in several thousand years.

Perhaps only the great war against the invaders might match it or exceed the numbers.

Time seemed to be fleeting and everyone was on the edge when the northern tribesmen finally reached the chosen location.

"Should we start?" The formation masters asked.

"Hold!" Lin Mu said.

"Are you sure?" Patriarch You Yi and the others looked on in doubt.

"Yes… the old location won't be right for so many. Let them approach more. We'll be able to get more of them that way. Plus, our new 'allies' will arrive soon too…" Lin Mu explained.

"Alright, alliance leader." The leader of the formation masters said.

They were the ones in charge of activating the traps and thus would listen to Lin Mu's commands.

Two more minutes passed as the army continued onwards.

Within the Northern Tribe's army, their elders were alert.

"Seems like our passage was fine." One of the elders said.

"Hmm… it was a good idea to keep our juniors posted here. They ensure that this place was not discovered." Another elder said.

"Don't forget the attack at the Vermillion legion. That should have thrown off the southerners. They are likely thinking we are going to come through there." An elder at the Dao Treading realm spoke.

"Yes, of course. Still… I never would have thought that our ancestors would have kept such a secret hidden. I just hoped that we could have used it in the past." A Dao Shell realm elder said.

"That would have been too much of a waste. We all know we simply didn't have enough power back then. Our people were also too weak and could not have made good use of this opportunity." Another Dao Shell realm elder replied.

Several elders nodded in agreement, finding that their original plan truly was the best one.

"Still… we can't forget Gu Yao's contribution. Even if his plan still failed in the end." A Dao Treading elder that had bones wrapped around his arms spoke upon his arrival.

"That is true. He will get his revenge as a reward. Even if he is dead, he shall be vindicated."

"HAHAHA! Perhaps as a tribute to him, we'll build a monument with the bones of the southern experts!" Someone said with excitement.

"That does sound rather nice." The elders couldn't help but agree.

Each and everyone here held a deep grudge against the southerners and had it imprinted into their very bloodline itself. Their life's end goal was to get rid of the southerners and take revenge for all the humiliation their predecessors had suffered.

~whoosh~

A gust of chilly wind could be felt, making most of the people nearby shiver. All the elder present quickly cupped their hands and looked towards the back as a new person arrived.

"Greetings Council Elder Gunkao!" The tribesmen all said with fervor.

"Put your focus on the conquest at hand. Do not get complacent just because we've had some initial success." A cold voice was heard.

Elder Gunkao was the strongest elder of the council, and his cultivation base was said to be very close to the immortal ascension realm. Many even expected him to breakthrough soon enough and some even said that he was already half step into the Immortal Ascension realm.

He was the absolute authority of the Northern tribes, below the Immortal ascension realm elders who mostly kept to themselves.

"We shall do as the elder say—" The people were just about to reply when a cacophony of screams and explosions were heard.
