Chapter 1116 Gu Yao's Intentions

The possible chance that Gu Yao might have found a way to use the invader to rapidly increase his cultivation base was a bit unnerving to Lin Mu. While he was fully confident in being able to deal with Dao Treading realm experts, it wasn't the same for the Immortal Ascension realm ones.
Especially one that would be as strange and sly as Gu Yao. There would be no lack of unknown abilities that Gu Yao might end up with. There was always a chance that they might be able to threaten Lin Mu.
And even if Lin Mu himself was safe, there was no guarantee that the people he cared for and the world would be safe from it.
"We need to hurry and find the Yang Qi store. That pure yang crystal I got from the destroyed base should have been one of them." Lin Mu said recalling the red crystal he had fed to the grey egg.
While Lin Mu hadn't found much information about that headquarters yet, there were still some slivers of it present here.
And from those documents, Lin Mu learned that the headquarters in the Eastern Ming Dynasty was actually the original test site for Gu Yao's experiments. Unfortunately, it had exploded and the man had to move it all away.
Still, the man had evidently learned from failures and was already growing beyond that.
"Are you going to do as before? Rip this plane and set it free in the void?" Xukong asked, seeing that Lin Mu's thoughts were changing.
"I will be doing that… but I need to make things a bit more secure. If Gu Yao is really able to make use of that invader, there is no guarantee that he won't also learn how to navigate the void from it.
We have seen that the avatar of the invader escapes into the void, and have a particular location they go to.
What if I destabilize this plane and uproot it from the Xiaofan world, but then Gu Yao still completes his breakthrough and returns for revenge years later?
I can't let that happen…" Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.
"Hmm… that is indeed possible. You are right, removing a problem from the roots is the best choice." Xukong agreed.
"I won't leave any avenues for Gu Yao to survive. I'll take away all that he has along with his life and then throw away this plane entirely." Lin Mu replied.
Xukong nodded his head in response finding Lin Mu's words to be satisfactory.
'He's improving his mentality little by little.' Xukong thought to himself.
Lin Mu didn't pause after this and quickly began the next step of his plan. After having surveyed the buildings here, he had already learned of Gu Yao's location. It was none other than a large courtyard in the back of the city.
At first, Lin Mu thought that the man might be in the large palace looking building in the center of the city but then learned that it was actually the main 'office' of the Gu Legion.
The actual residence of Gu Yao was someplace else.
The man did visit the office before, but these days he had been in seclusion for the most part and thus had not been seen. And it wasn't like the members of the Gu Legion would question him either.
They worked for him and not the other way around.
Then there was also the fact that Gu Yao had a chain of orders readied for his subordinates and they had a lot to work on considering that their side was currently losing.
Lin Mu was making his way towards Gu Yao's courtyard when he saw a group of high ranking Gu Legion members going there as well.
"They are at the Dao Treading realm…" Lin Mu noticed and furrowed his brows.
While he didn't fears fighting them, if they were here Lin Mu knew something must have happened.
~shua~
Lin Mu stopped at the Barrier around the courtyard and was forced to watch the high ranking Gu Legion members enter.
"Dammit…" Lin Mu cursed as he looked at the formation array blocking him.
He quickly tried to unravel the formation just enough to make an opening for him to pass through. Thankfully the practice from earlier buildings had made him a bit used to this type of formation array and he finished it in less than five minutes.
'Yes!' Lin Mu quickly entered through the gap that had opened up for a moment.
He needed to be careful with it since the formation would have rung an alarm due to movement.
Lin Mu kept his spirit Qi fluctuations contained within his body and also sealed his aura, leaving no chance for others to detect him.
Speeding through the ground using Phase, Lin Mu swept through all the rooms, eventually finding the high ranking Gu Legion members standing in the central hall of the courtyard. The courtyard was pretty large too, having nearly thirty rooms and seven halls!
And in the main hall, Lin Mu sensed the spirit Qi fluctuation of four people. Three of them were the High ranking Dao treading realm members of the Gu Legion he had seen outside, and the final one was far stronger than them.
The faint spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the fourth person were filled with a malicious aura that Lin Mu could feel.
"Gu Yao…" Lin Mu muttered as his eyes sharpened.
~huu~
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu peeked his head out from the very corner of the hall, from behind a chandelier. He made sure that there was no way to see him, and only let a single eye peek out from the gap.
The area that he was peeking out from was right behind the chandelier too thus it was very dark and masked by the bright light of the lamps, preventing others from noticing him easily.
"The Zither Wind alliance has fallen, my lord… our links are also disappearing."
