With so many people being teleported at once, the strain on Lin Mu was rather heavy. But he could still manage it.
"Easier than ripping apart a plane at least…" Lin Mu muttered to himself as he controlled the runes to take everyone with him. All content is property © .
The process wasn't exactly smooth and if it were weak cultivators that were going through it they might have gotten injured quite likely. Thankfully, all the formation masters here were strong and at the peak of core condensation realm at the very least.
And even among them, the majority was acutely at the nascent soul realm.
The resources provided by the alliance had given all of them a good opportunity to speed up their rate of cultivation and had made it so that many who were teetering on the edge of breakthrough finally did it.
It was a common and known fact that most cultivators will get stuck at the peak of the core condensation realm and be unable to breakthrough to the Nascent soul realm. Some of them lacked talent, some lacked the drive. But all of this could be compensated with the resources.
The Kong Plane and its resources had greatly contributed to this and had increased the number of Nascent soul realm cultivators significantly.
Everyone felt the pull on their bodies when they were being teleported and it was vastly different than using the gates to enter the Kong Plane. Thankfully, it only lasted a few seconds and when their vision returned, they had already appeared in the Xiaofan world.
~phew~
Many of them let out breaths of relief, including Lin Mu and Jing Luo.
"Is it just me, or was this a little too… rough?" Jing Luo asked.
"I felt that too," Patriarch You Yi replied.
"Its due to the fact that I alone was pulling you all. And I haven't teleported so many people at once. The strain was expected." Lin Mu spoke.
His face was a little flushed, but his breath was stable.
'It actually took twenty percent of my spirit Qi stores…' Lin Mu was a bit surprised.
This was the greatest consumption of spirit Qi in the case of teleportation that he had incurred till now.
The formation masters looked around and observed the snow covered ground and mountains. Many of them had never come this far in the north and didn't even know it would be this cold.
"Alright, I want you all to build several large teleportation gates around here. They should be about a kilometer from here, though." Lin Mu stated.
"How big do you want them to be?" Jing Luo asked.
"Enough for Little Shrubby at his full size to pass through." Lin Mu estimated according to the intended users.
"That big?" Jing Luo was surprised. "Why do you need it to be that big?" he asked curiously.
"It is for our new allies, of course. Who I'll be adding soon." Lin Mu replied.
"The one's you were going to get from the Kong Plane? Have you not done that yet?" Jing Luo asked.
"I haven't. I got occupied with this all. This was too important to just let go." Lin Mu replied.
"Oh yeah, that's true." Jing Luo agreed.
"Anything else you want to do? If this is the place that the northern tribe is going to enter from, shouldn't we add traps?" Elder Liqiang suggested.
"That's the next thing I was going to ask. Set up some restrictions and traps as you see fit." Lin Mu said.
"I'll take care of that." Elder Liqiang accepted.
With this done, the tasks were properly assigned, with one team working on the teleportation gates. This was mostly the ones who were more experienced or had built it before, including Jing Luo.
The rest focused on building the other formations that were going to be used as traps. There was, after all, a lot to do here. And it was going to take a while to set everything up, even with so many formations masters working on it.
There were some things that couldn't just be sped up with manpower and had a rate-limiting step. With all that done, Lin Mu was about to head to the Kong Plane when he got a message.
"The messenger from the Vermillion legion has arrived!" Wu Hei's voice was heard from the Jade Slip.
Hearing this, Lin Mu stopped in his tracks and instead of heading to the wild areas of the Kong Plane went to the nexus. There he took the teleportation gate to the Shuang Qian capital and went to meet Wu Hei.
In less than three minutes, Lin Mu was in the mansion and directly phased through the walls to appear next to Wu Hei.
"I'm here." Lin Mu said, startling the man for a moment.
"Ah! Perfect." Wu Hei said as he handed the letter to Lin Mu.
"You haven't opened it yet?" Lin Mu asked.
"No… it just arrived five minutes ago. And you appeared rather quickly too, so you may as well open it." Wu Hei replied.
"Okay…" Lin Mu replied before taking a deep breath and cracking the seal on the letter.
~huu~
'Here we go…' Lin Mu hoped for the best.
"Lieutenant Wu Teng was been posted in the western section of the pearl's belt and is… alive… He's Alive!" Lin Mu exclaimed.
"HE IS?" Wu Hei was shocked.
While he was hoping for this, he had still accepted the fact that he might never see his brother again. But against all odds,, he had still survived.
"Indeed…" Lin Mu nodded his head while continuing to read. "And it seems like he isn't the only one under the control of Gu Yao that is alive." He added.
"That's good… but what is their condition?" Wu Hei asked.
"It says here that Wu Teng and several more members are currently in the infirmary of the Vermillion legion. They are being treated for sudden onset amnesia." Lin Mu answered. "The infirmary is strained and overwhelmed due to many soldiers experiencing this, along with several higher ups that died."
