Lin Mu''s words both, confused and scared the elders. One on hand, they could mean that the disciples were dead, and that there was no use in helping them, and on the other hand, it meant that Lin Mu had already killed all the Gu Legion members.


    ''It can''t be, can''t it?'' Liu Cai thought to himself and spread his spirit sense.


    Even if his spirit sense was not as strong and far reaching as Lin Mu, it was still enough to reach a few of the areas nearby where the disciples were fighting. His spirit sense quickly picked up on the scene and he was relieved.


    <i>~phew~</i>


    "The Gu Legion members… they are all dead as senior Lin Mu said." Elder Liu Cai confirmed.


    The other elders checked it on their own as well, just to be sure and all took breaths of relief. To ones who had already prepared to die here today, this was an unexpected oue that relieved them more than they had ever felt like.


    Plus, Lin Mu''s presence here meant that a lot of things would change.


    "I can''t even begin to tell you how grateful we are because of your arrival, senior Lin Mu." The Long cloud elders all spoke.


    "Spare me the pleasantries… I do not deserve them. I was still far toote. A many are dead because I was not present." Lin Mu said in self-deprecating tone.


    "No senior!" Liu Cai said sternly.

    The female elder could see the pain in Lin Mu''s eyes and quickly grasped the arm of Elder Liu Cai. She could tell that his mind was not in the right ce and that Lin Mu needed to be cated.


    "It is not your fault, Senior Lin Mu. This was something that was bound to happen one day. Besides, it is the Gu Legion that is at fault here. They ambushed us somehow and found our location.


    Not only that, but they even sent a Dao Shell realm cultivator to end us all. It meant that they were very serious about it all." The female elder exined.


    Lin Mu listened to it all, as a few questions popped up in his mind.


    "How long was the battle going for?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "Over a day now… more and more of the Gu Legion members arrived with time and the situation only got tougher." One of the other elders answered.


    Lin Mu thought over it and knew that he couldn''t wait here any longer. From the information that he had received from Hua Wu, it wasn''t just these Long Cloud disciples and elders that were being attacked.


    There were many more ces that the entire alliance was being targeted.


    "I need to leave now and look for the others. Can you point me to the next closest battle ground?" Lin Mu questioned.


    The elders could see that Lin Mu wasn''t really in any mood to talk.


    ''Though it is understandable. We need all the help we can get and there is no time to waste.'' The female elder thought.


    "I know two of them. From the updates we got during the battle, an elder from the ck Dune sect is leading a group of their disciples to defend a merchant outpost of our alliance three hundred kilometers to the north west.


    Then there is also the team from the Fenlong kingdom fighting six hundred kilometers to the east." Elder Liu Cai quickly spoke.


    Lin Mu thought over the two options and wondered which side should he help once. He truly wished that he could split into two so that he could help both sides at once, but it was not a reality.


    "How many people does the Fenlong kingdom''s team have and how is their situation?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "We do not know. But since they are rather close to the kingdom''s borders, they do have a steady support. As for the ck Dune sect''s elder and disciples… they are in a rather distant area and any support from the sects will take a while to arrive.


    Their battle though, hasn''t been going on for that long. The first report we got about them was twelve hours ago." The female elder answered.


    "Very well… I''ll go to support the ck Dune sect first then." Lin Mu said and bent his knees.


    <i>~Crack~</i>


    <i>~BOOM!~</i>


    With just a single step, Lin Mu made a crater in the ground and shot up like a cannonball. The elders were forced to retreat a few meters and had to stabilize their spirit qi that was sent in a tizzy again.


    "How has he be like this?" The elders couldn''t help but wonder.


    They looked at the crater and were surprised by the deep imprint on it.


    "Just how much spirit qi is he even using to create such craters? It wasn''t even an attack…" The female elder questioned.


    Though in response to this Elder Liu Cai furrowed his brows as he thought of something.


    "I don''t think that was spirit Qi at all… I didn''t feel any spike in spirit Qi fluctuations when he took off…" Elder Liu Cai said, confusing the other elders.


    But then a few secondster, they had a moment of realization.


    "You don''t mean to say…" The female elder muttered in disbelief.


    "He didn''t use spirit Qi at all… that was all raw physical power…" Elder Liu Cai said.


    <i>~gulp~</i>


    The other elders that heard it were taken aback as they knew just how much power it would need. With spirit Qi, they too had a confidence in doing something like this, but without it they might only leave a shallow depression in the ground.


    Lin Mu''s mysteries only grew deeper for them, and they couldn''t help but wonder how much more would be revealed in the future.


    <i>~rustle~</i>


    The sound of bushes could be suddenly heard as the elders were startled and they looked towards it.


    "Who goes there!" The elders said.


    "I-It''s me! Elders it''s me!" A rather young looking disciple appeared from the bushes.


    He was injured and seemed to be out of breath.


    "You won''t believe it! All the Gu Legion members died out of nothing!"
