Chapter 1016 - Eliminating Threats Along The Way

Lin Mu was quite liking this method of eliminating the invader. It was fast and fierce, yet there were limitation.
~Sigh~
"If only it worked on all…" Lin Mu muttered to himself.
While meld seemed rather strong, there were still limitations to it. The broader the area of effect, the greater the consumption for Lin Mu. Not to mention that if he used Meld on beings with cultivation base, they could actually resist it.
The level of resistant varied depending on the difference there was between Lin Mu's own cultivation base and the other being on which the skill was being used. Right now, Lin Mu could use Meld on those at the Nascent soul realm with no problem at all.
He reckoned that he would be able to use it on enemies at the Dao Shell realm as well, though the stronger one's might be able to resist it a bit more and struggle, making him expend more spirit Qi on it.
It was a skill that was best to be used in limit or it could greatly exhaust Lin Mu. After all, Meld didn't use a set amount of spirit Qi like his other skills. Rather, it used up a percentage of his entire spirit Qi at once.
It could quickly get out of hand if Lin Mu didn't regulate it well enough.
Lin Mu glanced at his hand momentarily, looking at the ring. His gaze lingered for a second more before his body disappeared once more, reappearing in the skies above the Amber Wold City.
"Oh? You're done way quicker than I thought." Jing Luo spoke.
"Mmhmm… let's continue." Lin Mu said before taking a pause. "Should we… pass through the major cities on the way?" he asked.
Jing Luo's brows furrowed, but he understood Lin Mu's question.
"You really think there would be more of them?" Jing Luo asked.
"Yes. The pattern seems to be there. We can't just let them all be unsafe like this." Lin Mu replied.
"Alright. If it's only going to take this much time, then we may as well." Jing Luo stated.
"I'll inform the alliance later, and get them to do a formal search later on." Lin Mu said as he got onto Little Shrubby's back.
"Yeah, though I doubt it is the same for other regions, too. The Black Dawn Kingdom and the Shuang Qian Kingdom are greatly under the influence of the Gu Legion, so it makes sense that they were able to hide such beings without alerting anyone.
Plus, we've passed over other cities before too, right? And you didn't sense anything there." Jing Luo replied.
Lin Mu thought over it and found it to be a valid assumption.
"Besides, I doubt these 'reborn' are that easy to make. Even Gu Yao should be having a limited supply of them. Perhaps he can make a lot of them, but he will still need time to make them I presume." Jing Luo added.
Lin Mu thought over to how weak the two Reborn he saw in the Black Dawn Kingdom were and reckoned that they were simply new reborn or inferior 'products'.
"You are probably right. Maybe we'll find more clues later." Lin Mu said.
"Yeah. And you have the remains of these Reborn too, right? The more you have, the easier it would be for Duan Ke and Grandfather to track them down." Jing Luo stated.
Hearing this Lin Mu's eyes lit up, and he felt even more motivated.
"Let's go, Little Shrubby!" Lin Mu ordered, directing Little Shrubby towards the next city.
The next city was about thirty minutes away for Little Shrubby, and upon arriving, Lin Mu quickly scanned the entire area inch by inch. He didn't want to miss a mutated beast, just because it was hidden a bit too deep.
The people of the city felt a strange feeling that day and goosebumps appeared on nearly everyone.
"Why did it get chilly all of a sudden?" someone said.
But a moment later, the goosebumps faded and so did the uncomfortable feeling. They were unaware that it was Lin Mu's spirit sense that had just passed over them.
Even those that had higher cultivation bases only felt the spirit Qi in the air go still for a moment, before it returned to normal. The time duration was far too short for them to tell what exactly had happened.
They could only guess that it was some natural phenomenon.
After all, not many would think that someone like Lin Mu at the Dao Shell realm was scanning the entire city at once with his spirit sense.
"Hmm… nothing here." Lin Mu said as his brows eased.
"See, I told you. Even Gu Yao with his power, can't afford to put them in every city." Jing Luo spoke.
"Though I did find others controlled by Gu Yao here too." Lin Mu said.
"Oh yeah, those… will just need to be marked for now." Jing Luo replied.
Lin Mu nodded his head before asking Little Shrubby to continue onwards. They passed over six more cities and didn't find anymore Reborn. Though Lin Mu's list of people controlled by Gu Yao only increased.
This encompassed both the people under the Human Controlling Blood curse, who were under Gu Yao's direct control, and those that were addicted to the pills of grace. Albeit the number of those under the Human Controlling Blood curse was rather low.
It was both a good and bad thing, but there was little they could do about it right now.
Thus, Lin Mu continued on his journey and finally reached the northern end of the Black Dawn Kingdom.
~huu~
"We're finally here…" Lin Mu muttered as he observed the vast plains.
Yellow grass and shrubs covered the plains, making it look like a yellow and black sea. The contrast between the soil and vegetation was rather unique.
"Now where do we go from here?" Lin Mu questioned Jing Luo.
There was nothing here and Lin Mu couldn't sense any spatial fluctuations here either.
