Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 400 - Betrayal

Lin Mu could instantly feel the aura of the man that was sitting on the blood pool was dangerous. There was a malevolent energy thrumming from his body and everyone shuddered due to it. But that wasnʼt what shocked Lin Mu the most, rather it was something else.

”The invader… itʼs not… him…” Lin Mu muttered with shock.

”You sure!?” Xukong immediately asked.

”Yes… but he still does have some traces of the invaders aura. Which means…” Lin Mu replied.

”He was able to banish the invader from his body… but that shouldnʼt be possible for someone like him.” Xukong said.

”Yes, wasnʼt the Great slumber bear only able to do that because of his bloodline?…” Lin Mu questioned but then realized the answer on his own.

”THE BLOODLINE! Heʼs been using the blood sacrifice to remove the invader from his body!” Lin Mu understood.

While Lin Mu was reeling from the shock, the peak master Yi Deng and Supreme elder were going through something similar. While the others couldnʼt tell what Cultivation base the man in front of them was, they could very well do.

”Pseudo Dao Shell realm… heʼs at the Pseudo Dao Shell realm…” The Supreme elder muttered in shock.

The man who was sitting on the blood pool was shirtless and was only wearing a pair of pants. There were tattoos over his body and the blood from the blood pool was flowing along his skin, like snakes slithering on a tree.

The small streams of blood would climb up from his legs and spread all over his body, slowly being absorbed by it. The manʼs pupils were also a shade of deep red and his black hair was long, extending all the way to his waist.

If one looked at his one would think that he was in his thirties but his voice which contained the vicissitudes of life told otherwise.

~sigh~

”Looks like my brother failed in his endeavor and was too late…” The man spoke.

”You! Who are you?” Yi Deng questioned.

This was a question that each and every person had in this room and they were all wondering what kind of a person could do something like this.

”Me? I am a forgotten man… a nobody…” The man spoke in a calm tone.

”A nobody? You do all this and you say you are a nobody?” the peak master asked, anger tainting his voice.

”Hahaha!” The man laughed and stood up.

The other people became tense and became ready to act if anything happened.

”Why Yi Deng, have you forgotten me? Those were you very own words that you used to call me… I remember correctly, you said that to the elder of the Rainbow pills sect a few years ago.” The man spoke.

Yi Dengʼs eyes went wide as the man said that. He mind ran at the speed of lightning trying to remember and see if what he said was indeed true.

”Nobody… that was… YOU! Youʼre sect master Gu Yao!” Yi Deng remembered.

Lin Mu and the rest had a confused expression on their faces as they tried to identify that name, but couldnʼt. Lin Mu cross referenced with the records that he had read before but couldnʼt particularly remember which sect he belonged to.

”AH! Now that was a memorable time… but for now, seems like its time to do some work.” Gu Yao said as he lightly stretched his fingers. ”Iʼve been in seclusion for far too long it seems…”

Gu Yaoʼs eyes scanned over everyone but particularly focused on three people; Lin Mu, Wu Hei and Wu Teng.

”I didnʼt think we would meet like this one day… nephews. Did your father tell you about me yet?” Gu Yao spoke looking at the two Wu brothers.

The frown appeared on Wu Heiʼs face while Wu Tengʼs gritted his teeth.

”LIES!” Wu Teng shouted and without thinking much lunged at Gu Yao.

”NO! Brother Stop!” Wu Hei shouted.

Wu Hei could clearly tell the man in front of them was stronger than all of them combined and it would be nearly impossible for them to act against him. He was about to go ahead and stop him but saw something that horrified him even more.

~Shing~

~Shua~

”AARGH!” Wu Teng yelled in pain as he was bashed into the wall by a green pillar of wind.

The people all snapped to look at the source of the attack and were astounded to found who attacked Wu Teng.

”Qing Yuan Tiu! Why would you do this?!” Lin Mu questioned with anger.

Qing Yuan Tiu was standing there with her bulky clothes torn apart. Now that they had been removed, one could see the metallic armor that she was wearing underneath it. There were multiple small plates and spines that joined to gather to form an intricate set of armor.

Underneath that armor she was wearing skin tight clothes that highlighted her curves, and the armor protected them. It was this armor from where the six metal rods that anchored her to the ground came from. The armor extended from her torso onto her arms and legs.

Qing Yuan Tiu didnʼt answer the astounded Lin Mu but instead looked at Gu Yao with a glint in her eyes. Gu Yao too looked at her with interest in his eyes.

”Junior Qing Yuan Tiu greets the ancestor!” She said with extreme respect in her voice.

”ANCESTOR? Heʼs the ancestor of the Autumn Valley sect?” Hong Quan asked out loud in a surprised tone.

”But isnʼt Autumn Valley sect a new sect that only had a nascent soul realm patriarch?” Fa Lao questioned, feeling confused.

A bitter expression appeared on Yi Dengʼs face as he linked all the points together.

”We were wrong…” He said.

”No, no, no…” Gu Yao said in a chiding tone. ”It wasnʼt you that was wrong, itʼs just that the Autumn Valley sect never existed.” He revealed.

”Bu-but how? How did you even fool all of the sects?” Yi Deng spoke, feeling bewildered.
