1303 A Beacon To Catch Attention

Kunzi and Little Gian had not expected for there to be such a large mountain here. Not just that, but as Dao Shell realm cultivators they could also feel the massive formation array that seemed to have been set up here.

‘Is this really a place in the Land of Exile?’ Kunzi found it hard to believe.

To him, it felt more like the array of a city instead of some barren land.

“Is this the place?” Little Gian asked, feeling a bit confused as he couldn’t see any settlement around the mountain or on it.

“We’re just a little far.” Lin Mu said before taking them to the entrance of the Tribe.

With the mountain having expanded, the Haima Tribe had no option but to change the entrance too. While they still had the outpost exit that was halfway up the mountain, it wasn’t really large enough.

As for the original entrance?

pꪖnᦔa (nꪫꪣ)ꫀ l It had long since been buried under the expanded mountain. Thus the Haima tribe had to make a new one. Thankfully, with the Earth Fixing Array under Lin Mu’s control, it didn’t take them long to make a viable one.

~SHING~

~SHUA~

~HUA~

“What’s that sound?” Kunzi and Little Gian heard something.

“That should be the Haima warrior’s training.” Lin Mu replied. “They are on the other side of the mountain.”

From what Kunzi and Little Gian could hear, there seemed to be at least a hundred warriors training.

‘Or perhaps even more. There’s no way the sound would reach till here otherwise.’ Kunzi thought.

~THUD~

A large stone door was moved, revealing the true entrance to the Haima tribe. Walking through the dark passageway that was lit up by several torches they finally reached a fork.

“We go left.” Lin Mu instructed and brought them to a newly built area.

There were a couple of newly constructed houses here, but they were all located within a large cavern.

“All this was dug out by the tribe?” Kunzi was surprised. “No wonder they could stay safe here all this time.”

“You can say that.” Lin Mu nodded his head. “You two will be staying here for the time being.”

~Creak~

And just as he said that, the doors of one of the residences opened.

“You’re back?” A man dressed in torn clothes spoke.

“Another human?!” Little Gian and Kunzi were surprised once more.

“Huh, you brought more prisoners?” Huyun Chuan asked, making the other two nervous.

“No.” Lin Mu denied. “Unlike you, they came without a fight.”

“Tch~ whatever.” Huyun Chuan said with a shrug.

“Though, they did bring some good news.” Lin Mu added.

“What?” Huyun Chuan said without much interest.

“The people of the Huyun Clan. They are at the Number one port.” Lin Mu answered.

Huyun Chuan’s expression changed almost instantly with his eyes turning wide and his fists clenching.

“WHERE ARE THEY?!?” Huyun Chuan almost rushed at Lin Mu, but was stopped by the formation. “Ugh, these chains.” He grunted.

The residence that Huyun Chuan was living in right now was where his prison cell was originally located. Due to the expansion of the mountain, it ended up coming under it and thus this cave was made.

The Haima Tribe simply made some residences here and made one for Huyun Chuan too. Though he couldn’t go any farther than the doorstep of the residence.

“Who’s he?” Kunzi was a bit baffled.

From this conversation, he could easily tell that the man was Lin Mu’s prisoner and had been made one because of a fight.

‘His cultivation base also seems to be nonexistent.’ Kunzi realized, but then looking at the illusory shackles that were holding Huyun Chuan, he reckoned it might just be a restriction.

“He’s the one for whom the Huyun Clan’s people are looking for.” Lin Mu replied.

He had decided that he could now tell the two a little more.

“Huh? Looking for him? Did he go missing?” Little Gian questioned.

“I didn’t go missing, they know I am here! They’re coming to get me.” Huyun Chuan said with a little impatience.

“What!? How can they get you from here? No one gets out of the Land of Exile.” Kunzi said firmly.

“For commoners perhaps. But I am a noble!” Huyun Chuan said proudly.

To this Kunzi raised his brow.

“Even for nobles, I’ve never heard anyone getting out of here. First of all, is there even a way out?” Kunzi was sure there wasn’t any method of doing that since the array worked one way only.

“There actually is a way, apparently.” Lin Mu spoke this time.

“Really?” Kunzi was still doubtful.

“There are talismans that can teleport one back outside. They simply need to enter using the normal method and then use them to get back out.” Lin Mu answered.

Kunzi furrowed his brows. To him, it felt farfetched, but then seeing the people of the Huyun Clan meant that there was some truth to this.

‘He doesn’t have any reason to lie either. There is no benefit to that.’ Kunzi thought while glancing at Lin Mu.

“You say they are coming to get him here, but then how will they even find him?” Little Gian stated.

“Yeah, since we got lost here right from the start, I doubt they would find you.” Kunzi agreed.

Getting in the Land of Exile was the easy part. And with the talisman they might even be able to get out. But how would they find someone in the Land of Exile where there was no sense of direction and no compass worked?

“They will find me! They’ll find a method!” Huyun Chuan said stubbornly.

“Or, there is another way.” Lin Mu suddenly spoke up.

Kunzi and Huyun Chuan watched him, wondering what it might be.

“We simply have to make it easy to spot us.” Lin Mu stated. “Putting a beacon that reaches all the way to the clouds might just work.”

“That… might be viable. Still, to make something like that you’ll need resources.” Kunzi said.

“I got that covered.” Lin Mu smirked.
