Walker Of The Worlds

Seeing their Formation array intact, the people of the Fen clan took a breath of relief.

"Patriarch Mu Tao?" The voice of a woman came from the back.

"Let me through," she spoke again and the group of men parted to give way to the the woman that had just appeared.

The woman who had appeared was none other than Miss Fen.

"Greetings, Miss Fen." Mu Tao cupped his hands in greeting and came forward.

Miss Fen looked at him and nodded before looking at the other two people. Of those two, she only recognized Jingming Shang.

"Why are you here and… who's this?" Miss Fen asked, seeing Lin Mu.

He was the most eye catching person here, not only in looks but also the spirit Qi fluctuations that were coming from him. Even if Lin Mu was intentionally suppressing them, Miss Fen could sense it faintly.

'This man… he's not simple. Thankfully, they did not break out in conflict right away…' Miss Fen thought to herself.

"Miss Fen, we are here to propose an alliance with the Fen clan." Mu Tao answered first and then gestured towards Lin Mu. "As for him, he is senior Lin Mu." He introduced.

"Greetings, miss Fen. I believe your clan is in need of certain records." Lin Mu spoke.

Hearing this, Miss Fen was confused at first, but then it suddenly struck her.

"How do you…?" She questioned, feeling a bit lost.

"This will be a long explanation. I believe it will be better if we find a good place to sit and talk." Lin Mu suggested.

"Yes, that will be good. Please… Miss Fen allow us." Mu Tao added.

"It will only benefit you, Miss Fen. You can take my word for that." Jingming Shang spoke up too.

Seeing that even Jingming Shang had spoken in favor, Miss Fen raised her brows.

'Jingming Shang does not dabble in matters that he is not sure of and brings problems… if he's saying this then it might be worth it.' Miss Fen thought to herself.

A few of her clansmen whispered something to her before she nodded.

"Alright, let's go in and talk." Miss Fen invited.

The other clansmen of the Fen clan went in first and spread around while Lin Mu and the other entered behind Miss Fen.

"The Fen clan is truly big. I never thought you all would be hiding something like this." Mu Tao spoken feeling surprised.

"Our Fen clan does not like to be in the limelight and prefers to stay low key. Standing out is only the call for trouble." Miss Fen replied.

"I see…" Mu Tao said.

Jingming Shang looked around and furrowed his brows. There were a lot of materials and people in the clan. Even their cultivation bases were not that bad, as around ninety percent of them were cultivators.

'Isn't this already on the level of a small sect?' Jingming Shang thought.

He did not voice out his doubts at this point though, and just continued on with Lin Mu. About two minutes later, Miss Fen brought them to a detached courtyard that was located on one of the hills that were within the formation array.

The courtyard was far better looking than the other ones, and there was even a verse written on its gateway.

"The cranes rise and fall over the years, yet the cicada stays hidden." They read the verse that was written on the gateway.

The verse did not look complete and seemed like had been taken out from a poem of some kind.

~Creak~

The gate opened up, letting them all enter. Miss Fen brought them to the outer hall and let them all take a seat.

"So what is it that you are here for patriarch Mu Tao?" Miss Fen questioned.

"I think it would be better if Senior Lin Mu explains." Mu Tao replied.

"Alright then, please do." Miss Fen replied, unsure if she should add the title of a senior as well.

The cultivation base of Lin Mu was still hidden to her plus looking at his face, he looked to be even younger than her thus it was hard for her to tell if it would be appropriate to use senior or not.

"It goes like this…" Lin Mu said before beginning his explanation.

He explained everything from the start and how Gu Yao had changed the face of this world secretly all the way to how he was the one behind the massacre of the Mu clan. It took Lin Mu over two hours to finish the explanation and by the end of it, Miss Fen was stunned.

"This… how could we be so blind?" Miss Fen couldn't help but say.

"It's not just you… its everyone. If even the Top sects can fall to the schemes of Gu Yao, then you are not to blame." Lin Mu replied.

It was now that Mu Tao suddenly spoke up.

"Wait if the Fen clan is also an ancient clan and changed their name from Fenlong to Fen because of attackers… then doesn't it mean that it was actually the invaders that made them do this?" Mu Tao questioned.

Hearing Mu Tao's words, Lin Mu nodded. Miss Fen on the other hand was stunned for a moment before anger appeared in her eyes.

"Damn them… first they suppress my ancestors and then come ask me to join them… NEVER!" Miss Fen said out loud.

"You will not need to worry anymore, miss Fen. We are here for that exactly." Jingming Shang who had been silent for a bit, chimed in.

"Yes, not only is senior Lin Mu here to oppose Gu Yao, but he is also willing to help restore the Fen clan's bloodline." Mu Tao stated.

Miss Fen couldn't help but look at Lin Mu with a mix of emotion in her eyes. It was as if hope and doubt swirled within her eyes, forming a complex tone.

"Are you really going to help with that?" Miss Fen couldn't help but ask for confirmation from Lin Mu himself.

"Yes, I am." Lin Mu said with a smile.
