Chapter 2364 Transfer Upon Death


    Lin Mu stared at the number above his wrist that did not match the one he had in his mind.


    <561,264,471 Credits>


    "This is… at least twenty million higher than it was before." Lin Mu muttered to himself.


    "I got an increase of three million." Ziran spoke.


    "Eighteen million something for me." Lady Kang said, feeling quite surprised too.


    "Twenty two million…" Crown Prince Feng Shun stated, not having expected this.


    One by one, all of them announced their credits, with everyone gaining some credits. The amount varied though, which was the part that confused them along with the question as to how they had obtained this.


    "Did we get these from the maggots?" Daoist Chu asked, thinking them to be the source.


    This made sense at first, since Lin Mu had obtained a lot of credits by killing therge Yin Nascent Soul maggot before. The ones they had fought were smaller, but ultimately they were the same, other than being a lot weaker.


    "That can''t be," Min Ju chimed in. "I didn''t kill any of them." "Likewise." Qiao De said as well. "I killed the ck Fin Ind members, but no maggots. Crown Prince took care of those." He revealed.


    "Doesn''t that mean we got credits from the ck Fin Ind members?!" Daoist Chu couldn''t help but say in shock.


    "How''s that possible?" Monk Hushu asked out loud.


    "Did the rules change? Just like how the Yin Nascent Soul Maggot gives us credits, the ck Fin Ind members give them to us too?" Qiao De proposed.


    "While that may be, the amount of credits they gave don''t match up to their cultivation base," Ziran stated. "The credits were far too high or low for their cultivation base." He added.


    The group went silent for a few minutes while they all processed it. "Perhaps… We are thinking about this in the wrong way." Lin Mu finally spoke. "Our thinking that the credits cannot be transferred from one person to another was wrong, they can be transferred… But the way to do that is to kill the other person." He stated.


    Hearing that, the others couldn''t help but feel a bit shocked. This was something any trial taker should have learned normally if they fought another. But since Lin Mu and the group came with a close knit alliance, they didn''t end up in a situation where they had to test out something like that.


    But the Celestial who had made the ce certainly factored in internal conflict and murder ofpanions. While its it not be the best, they still followed the rules of the Jianghu, letting the victor obtain the spoils.


    The minds of cultivators were fickle and could change at any moment, depending on the benefit that they were obtaining. Most other groups that might have tried to enter here would have certainly ended up in the same state.


    "I suppose… it is another plus for us," Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "It just aligns with our goals at getting more credits as well as getting to the bottom of Yao Changying''s ns here." He borated.


    "Indeed. The Heavens seem to be in agreement with the purge of these foul individuals." Monk Hushu was inplete agreement.


    "Hmm, that is definitely one way to look at it." Lin Mu nodded. "Though we will still need to track them down." He added.


    "Should we check their bodies for any more clues?" Qiao De asked. "They should have spatial storage tools, right?" "No." Lin Mu shook his head right away. "Their spatial storage tools and all the other tools they have on their self are branded to their life. If they died, the tools are rendered useless." He exined.


    That was actually one of the first things Lin Mu had checked. After all, he could sense the presence of Spatial Storage tools with ease and didn''t feel them anymore after the individuals had been killed. The same could be said for their other immortal tools.


    Lin Mu''s immortal sense picked up on the traces of the runes, showing that the formations of the tools had already been destroyed. "Even the weapons they use seem to be linked to them." Ziran said picking up a broken spear. "This may as well be a twig." He lightly bent it, causing it to snap with ease.


    This was certainly not the case when Daoist Chu was being attacked by it earlier. The spear had even endured a full hit from Lin Mu''s sh and withstood it, only being broken after the owner had been killed.


    "Looks like they''re still following their old failsafe methods." Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "Being assassins, they can''t let themselves be tracked back to the source. thus this much ismon for them to do." He added.


    "But then why wouldn''t they hide their affiliation to the ck Fin Ind?" Qiao De asked.


    "I don''t think they care about that anymore, having changed their sides to Yao Changying now." Crown Princess Shang replied. "Instead, all they care about hiding is anything that might help us find Yao Changying through their remains." She added.


    "Yes, that seems more likely." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Though… they missed one thing." He suddenly said, his eyes shining in a silvery gleam.


    "What is it?" Crown Princess Shang asked.


    But instead of responding, Lin Mu walked up to a particr ce and extended his hand.


    ~SHUA~


    A tiny ck dot appeared there, which caught the attention of the others. "What is…" Lady Kang narrowed her eyes as she saw it forbore she finally felt a faint fluctuation of energy. "Spatial disturbance?" ~SHUA~


    And right on time, the ck dot expanded to be a half meter wide rift!


    "Let''s see what we got here. I haven''t done this in quite some time." Lin Mu said as he fished inside the spatial rift for something.


    He did so for about thirty seconds before his hand finally found a long object in there. N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "Here we go!" he finally pulled out a small badge.
