CHAPTER 1907 JUMPING THE FENCE

Having taken in the beautiful sight of the Serene Glass Valley, Lin Mu decided to descend the wall.

"Let's go down. We also have to meet the people who invited us back then." Lin Mu spoke. 'Though I wonder where I'll find them.' He thought. 

As far as Lin Mu knew, the Serene Glass Valley might be a single organization, but it was still composed of multiple clans. Thus, to find out where he needed to go, Lin Mu took out one of the booklets he had bought.

'The Southern Powers of the Dao Wind Continent' was the title of the booklet.

It briefly provided information about each clan and power that existed in the southern region of the continent which also included the Serene Glass Valley of course.

'Hmm… the Serene Glass Valley is composed of three major and four minor clans, for a total of seven clans. These seven clans have their own regions in the valley and occupy multiple peaks. The Three Major clans are each specialized in Formations, Immortal Tool Refinement and Immortal Weapon refinement; whereas the four minor clans focus on providing support to the major clans with resources.' Lin Mu read the introduction.

He read the names of the clans and quickly recognized one of them.

"Shuijing Clan… the two who I fought were named this too, right? Shuijing Mingzhu and Shuijing Ju." Lin Mu recalled. "So they are the Major clan who are focused on formations." 

Having confirmed this, Lin Mu now knew he just needed to go to the clan. 

'Shouldn't be hard.' He thought.

Lin Mu and Little Shrubby passed through the barren area that used to have heavy gravity before and soon entered the area rich with greenery.

The change in atmosphere was abrupt and one could simply be refreshed by breathing in the pleasant air.

The scent of a thousand flowers lingered in the air, and made one feel rather calm.

"No wonder they call it Serene Glass Valley. It certainly is serene." Lin Mu nodded his head.

~shua~

But just as they went past a certain threshold, a wave of immortal Qi could be felt.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes as the wave swept over them.

"Looks like we triggered a formation." Lin Mu muttered, getting alert. "It was hidden rather well, huh." He hadn't sensed it beforehand.

He could have, but since he had just arrived here he hadn't looked in depth yet. But to not be caught off guard, Lin Mu quickly tried to determine just what kind of formation they had triggered just now.

"A Tracking and Marking Formation… Nothing dangerous… at least not yet." Lin Mu muttered to himself, having identified it.

Since this area was technically the depths of the Serene Glass Valley, it made sense for them to not put any Offensive formations here. And since the other side provided natural defense due to the Great Meteorite Wall and its gravity, they didn't put in any defensive formations, either.

The only thing they kept was the Tracking and Marking Formation which was just intended to keep a log of who entered and left the area. 

'Though I have no idea how they would take it if it was checked… My site of entry will be questionable.' Lin Mu realized it might not have been a good choice to have entered through here.

He had in a sense… Hopped the fence and entered into someone's backyard instead of knocking on the front door.

"Well, I hope the identity token helps." Lin Mu let out a breath of helplessness.

He knew he had messed up, but hoped that since he hadn't done anything bad, it should still be fine. Plus even without the identity token that was given to him by the two disciples of the Shuijing Clan, he would still be treated with respect due to his status as the winner of the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts.

With that in mind, Lin Mu walked openly along with Little Shrubby. He didn't hide and showed his presence, just so that the residents wouldn't think he was an intruder… which he technically was.

He continued to walk for about ten minutes, during which he realized that the number of beasts in this area was rather low.

'Strange, did the clan reduce the beasts or are they naturally low?' Lin Mu wondered.

And from what he could sense, the cultivation bases of the beasts were also very low. In fact, the strongest beast he could even sense within a twenty kilometer radius was barely at the False Immortal stage.

For an area rich with Qi and resources like this, there was no way the population of beasts would be this low. Or even if it was, the strength of the beasts should have been higher.

"Oh! Look at those fruits!" Little Shrubby exclaimed before moving towards a small tree.Content © 2024.

The tree had eight oblong fruits hanging from them. The fruits were orange-yellow in color and looked similar to papayas. 

"We can't touch anything here." Lin Mu warned. "It's their stuff." 

"We can't?" Little Shrubby was disappointed. 

"Yeah, at least not here. We can once we're in the open forest though. This area is owned by the Serene Glass Valley, so we shouldn't take things without their permission." Lin Mu replied. 

"Okay." Little Shrubby replied, and the two continued through the trees.

With the size of the Valley and the Mountains, it was normal for there to not be too many people. But Lin Mu was surprised by little to no response from the Serene Glass Valley, despite having triggered formations.

'Are they not taking it as a threat? Or is this area not as valuable as I thought?' Lin Mu thought while looking around.

At the very least, the area was very pleasant and provided him with a sense of relaxation.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

But as if he had jinxed it, just a few seconds later the sound of fluttering robes was heard. 

"Halt!" Lin Mu looked up, finding three cultivators floating in the sky.
