612 A Trap Of Ten

Hearing Lin Mu's words, Jing Luo was surprised. He tried to sense the area with his spirit sense, but didn't really have much luck. But Jing Luo knew that Lin Mu was proficient with the Spatial element and he probably saw something he could not.

"They are probably hiding with the help of Mist Veil talismans. They are one of the specialties of the Ripple Mist sect." Jing Luo spoke.

"Looks like it. They are unable to be found with spirit sense and I can only tell that they are there due to the faint spatial fluctuation they are emitting." Lin Mu replied.

"If that is true then, I think we will need to battle soon. Previously, we thought that they may choose the forest for battle as it would be empty and would not endanger the disciples and the sect's property.

But now that they have gotten the disciples to leave cleverly, they are free to act. As for these residences, they aren't really valuable and the sect can easily afford to rebuild them. It would be their best option as it would take us some effort to get past the barrier here." Jing Luo analyzed.

Lin Mu did not reply and simply nodded his head. He knew that they must act as before and not let the enemies know they have found out about them.

~shua~shua~shua~

And just as Lin Mu had expected, the moment all the disciples were gone, the hidden foes revealed themselves. Ten elders appeared in front of Lin Mu and Jing Luo, while the barrier that was past them started to glow as well.

"HALT RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!" The elder who was standing in the very center yelled.

Lin Mu paid no attention to him and instead scanned their cultivation bases.

"Three elders at the Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm, four at the Adolescent Soul Stage and three more at the Child Soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm." Lin Mu informed.

"Seems like all the stronger elders of the Ripple mist sect below the Dao Shell realm are here." Jing Luo spoke as a smile appeared on his face.

"Indeed, how do you want to do this?" Lin Mu asked as ideas instantly appeared in his mind.

"Since we've already been detected, we may as well directly shatter that barrier. I believe you have something for that." Jing Luo said.

Lin Mu nodded his head, understanding what Jing Luo was referring to.

"But before that, we'll need to get rid of these elders, the barrier is unlikely to fail as long as they are here plus, I think It'll take me a couple of continuous attempts to break the barrier, or it will simply recover." Lin Mu spoke.

"Alright, then we shall get rid of the elders first." Jing Luo said as he withdrew the weapons from his spatial storage treasures.

Seven spears appeared behind his back, then a broad Axe appeared in his right hand along with a slim dagger in his left. His equipment type seemed similar to when he fought Lin Mu previously but the quality was much higher.

Now that Jing Luo had been able to get high quality and valuable materials from the mines, he splurged as much as he could to make the best weapons and spirit tools he could. And it would be an understatement to say that he was not urging to test it out.

Jing Luo was a Spirit weapon forger at heart, and it would be the best feeling for him when he tested out his weapons himself. That is the thing that would give him the most joy in the world, if he excluded his family from the list.

Lin Mu saw this and couldn't help but be impressed.

'He truly did prepare a lot for this.' Lin Mu thought.

"I'll take the three Adult Soul Stage Nascent Soul realm cultivators, you take the four Adolescence soul stage one." Lin Mu spoke.

"Do I Kill?" Little Shrubby also asked.

"You can kill the rest." Lin Mu said with a chuckle.

"ROAR!" Little Shrubby let out a deafening roar in response.

The roar traveled across the sect, striking fear into the hearts of the weaker disciples. The three finally came to a halt a short distance from the elders and gazed at them.

"How dare you three enter our sect! Surrender now and perhaps we will leave your bodies whole for a burial." The elder in front spoke.

The elders were infuriated upon seeing that Lin Mu and Jing Luo weren't really putting them in their eyes and causally talked despite the tense atmosphere.

"And that beast! Muzzle it, perhaps we will have a feast!" Another elder said, eyeing Little Shrubby.

Hearing this, Little Shrubby's eyes locked onto the man.

"He dies first!" Little Shrubby declared, though to the elders and Jing Luo, all they could hear was a growl.

Lin Mu unhooked from the harness and let Little Shrubby free. The short sword came to float beside him along with the Iron Thorn spear, then two more slim swords appeared in his hands. These were taken from the Tri Cauldron peony sect and didn't really match each other fully, but were of the same size, thus being suitable to be used like this.

~BOOM!~

Little Shrubby was the first to make his move as he moved at a blinding speed and rushed the man who had taunted him. His flaming red claws exploded with a blinding light, impacting the elder.

All the elders were stunned to see this speed, as they realized they were unable to keep up with it. Their vision was simply lacking.

~Shing~

"Big mistake taking your eyes off a foe," Jing Luo said as three of the seven spears soared through the air like javelins thrown by an Olympian.

"ARGH!" One of the elders who was at the Adolescent Soul stage of the Nascent Souls realm was stuck in his arm and grunted with pain.

The other two managed to dodge the spears but were now alert.

"Careful! These men are not weak." The leading elder cautioned.
