<h4>Chapter 487 - The Hidden Members </h4>


    It didn’t take Lin Mu long to finish his meal and leave the restaurant. The waiter had expected he would not be able to finish the food and would get some as take away, but Lin Mu really did end up eating the entire thing. But before he could think of much or ask Lin Mu, he paid the bill and left.


    Lin Mu had used blink and gone to the top of the tallest building in the town, which was none other than the Mill on top of the hill. He had a hunch about where the hideout of the Gu Legion was in this town and he went to look.


    His spirit sense spread far and wide, prating deep into the ground. The soil here was not as densely packed as the one near the Northern town or the Wu Lim city, because of which Lin Mu didn’t have as much difficulty.


    His spirit sense’s range was now over 380 meters which allowed him to observe multiple things at once. And this time his hunch turned out to be true, as he found the hideout right where he thought it was.


    The hideout was inside the hill on which the mill was located. The main entrance to the hideout was in the mill itself, but Lin Mu simply used phase to sink into the ground. About six meters deep, there was an empty hall.


    It looked like it had originally been part of the mill and was its basement where grain used to be stored. But now there were better warehouses in the town which were used instead as it made it easier for people to carry the grain down the hill, rather than to carry it up there.


    ’Seems like the people either forgot about this, or it was made to be forgotten.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.


    He looked around the hall, which had a few items which showed that it was the hideout of the Gu Legion as there were their uniform and robes lying here. There were some bloodstains in one of the corners and some rusty cages as well.


    There was no dust in the hall though, which showed that it was actually being used regrly. But now the question was, where were the members of the Gu Legion.


    "Looking at the uniforms and robes, it’s likely that they are either part of the popce of this town itself. Or they abandoned this ce only recently." Xukong spoke.


    "I think so too senior. I’m betting on the first option though, I doubt they would abandon this town so fast." Lin Mu said.


    Seeing that there wasn’t much here, Lin Mu phased out of the hill and went back to the town. This time he wanted to take a walk around the town and see the condition more in detail. He looked at the houses which had been locked up for a long time and shops that had been boarded up.


    He could even see joss sticks ced in front of a few houses, which made him think that these may have been the most recently kidnapped.


    But while he was walking, he was suddenly stopped by a small group of men.


    "Here he is, this is the new guy I saw in the restaurant." One of the men spoke while pointing at Lin mu.


    "Good job. At least we will be filling this month’s quota early. Haha!" One of the other menughed.


    As soon as Lin Mu heard their words, he knew who they were.


    "Gu Legion?" Lin Mu asked openly.


    His question stunned the group of men as they had not expected someone to recognize them. They were not even wearing their robes or hiding their faces here. Either they were very confident that nothing would happen to them, or they had just be careless.


    "Huh? Why the hell do you know that name?" The man at the front asked.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Well, that confirms it..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.


    "This guy speaks too much, GET HIM!" The man ordered.


    <i>~Sigh~</i>


    "And here I thought I would have to stick to the n... but now youe show yourselves." Lin Mu said, as his eyes lit up with a fierce glint.


    He then extended his right hand and lightly spoke, "Meld."


    Then a shocking scene could be seen in front of him. The men who were running in front of him were divided into multiple segments. Some of them had their torso stuck in the air with the same expression, while their legs kept on running towards Lin Mu.


    Some of them were segmented diagonally and left behind an arm, while some had their legs segmented such that one leg went in one direction and one in the other. Lin Mu raised his eyebrows as he watched a strange scene.


    He sensed the drain on his spirit Qi but didn’t mind it, he wanted to test the effects of Meld and this was a good opportunity. He would be able to recover it all while he traveled with little shrubby anyway.


    It took the men a couple of seconds to register what had happened. Since their torsos were left floating in the air, they were able to look at their legs or whatever segment that had been disced from their body.


    An expression of absolute shock was present on their faces as they looked at their body parts.


    "WHAT IN THE NAME OF HEAVENS!" They eximed in fear.


    Another strange thing was these segments that had been disced from their bodies were not bleeding. In fact, their legs and the rest of their parts were fully functional. Due to the shock, they had stopped moving and could not help but look at their bodies.


    One of them sensed their leg and tried to lift it, and it actually did even though it was a few meters ahead of their body. The others did the same with their parts and discovered that there was no pain, it was as if everything was normal.


    "What did you do to us?"
