CHAPTER 2470  RETURNING FOR REST

"Is this a new Formation they made?" Lin Mu asked, not recognizing it.

"It's a modified version of the Eight Shelled Repelling Barrier." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "We made it to contain the Withering Energy as long as possible, since it can easily be repaired when a layer is damaged." He added.

"I see, that's smart." Lin Mu knew restraining Withering Energy was not easy, thus the only way to do was to constantly repair the array overtime. With the barrier having multiple layers, it was much more viable to fix a layer and let the other layers handle the Withering Energy.

"Though the damage is quite extensive." Lin Mu said, looking around.

His eyes particularly wandered over to the devastated buildings and houses.

"The casualties are around a hundred, which is thankfully less than it could have been." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "It was afternoon, so most people were away at work and not at home. The ones that were caught in it were mostly those that were walking in the streets." He added.

"I see… And what building were the Black Ying Empire members hiding in?" Lin Mu asked next, considering that it was located right on the border.

"The outpost was located in an old Grain Storage." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "The farms are all beyond these borders so it didn't stick out. Plus, there's always people going in an out, so its disguise was rather well." He added.

"No wonder it took a while to find. Plus, they do keep on moving from place to place." Lin Mu wondered where the next outpost could be hidden. "There should be more like this, right?" he said, remembering that the Black Ying Empire members had multiple outposts.

"Definitely." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "We'll be looking into places similar to this more often now." He said before going to talk to the Discipline Hall members about some details.

The Formation Masters fully sealed the area after about an hour, during which Lin Mu watched it all happen. Once it was done though, he headed back to his courtyard to rest while Crown Prince Feng Shun went to do more work.

Though everyone thanked Lin Mu for his intervention as they knew that if he didn't contain the area with Meld, the Withering energy would have spread in quite a vast area.

The people living within two kilometers of the Crater were all evacuated and moved elsewhere to be safe while they began the cleanup. The only way to do this was to steadily purge the Withering Energy with Pure Yang elemental energies.

For this, they mostly used fire, but Crown Prince gave a hand with his Lightning to make the process easier. After all, this incident was on another level compared to those in the past.

~Thud~

Lin Mu laid down on a lounger as he let out a tired breath.

The entire process had certainly exhausted him and his Qi. 'Using Meld on such a large area still uses a massive amount of Qi at once.' Lin Mu estimated that he had used around fifty percent of his immortal Qi in that. 'I had also used a lot of Qi in making the Spatial Storage tools before that.' He had already exhausted around thirty percent of his immortal Qi in that.

As such, Lin Mu had actually not been at his peak when he went to help.

And now he barely had around twenty percent of his Immortal Qi left.

To restore it, he simply decided to sleep for a bit, as it would restore it quite fast due to his bloodline. Plus, he would also rest his mind, which was feeling tired after the past few days of constant work.

It didn't take him long to drift off into sleep while a gentle breeze blew in from the garden, carrying the scent of the thousands of flowers that bloomed within it.

~WHOOSH~

And while Lin Mu was deep in sleep, a person appeared in the garden.

"He's asleep?" The Saintess watched the sleeping figure of Lin Mu, finding it a bit surprising. 'I didn't think he'd sleep anytime soon after waking up.' She thought.

Of course, she knew that this was just a normal sleep and not the Well of Slumber, but Lin Mu usually didn't sleep for a few weeks or months. "Did he exhaust himself that much?" The Saintess wondered before she spread her senses around.

~SHUA~

The sounds of everything in the Capital Region could be heard by her, every conversation that happened, every word that was spoken was picked up by her. A few minutes later, she got a grasp on all that had happened in the last few days. "So he spent a few days making Spatial Storage tools and then went on to seal a Withering Energy crater." The Saintess quickly analyzed.

She could sense the twins playing in the forest and the new gem that Xiao Yin had. She could also sense Ashy hiding in a servant's shadow and all the events that were happening in the palace.

She might not have been paying attention recently due to being focused on cultivation, but that didn't mean she couldn't obtain information quickly.

"He really did do a lot." The Saintess determined before gently waving her finger.

~SHUA~

Clouds formed under Lin Mu and lifted him before gently laying him down on the actual bed.

With that done, the Saintess simply created a set of table and chairs before sitting down.

~POP~

She opened up a pot of Immortal Apple wine that Lin Mu had made and began to drink.

"Mmmm, good wine." The Saintess said as a slight smile appeared on her face. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Closing her eyes, she continued to drink and enjoy the wine while her senses expanded further than the city. They reached a range of over fifteen hundred kilometer, and listened to everything that was happening.

Since she had been busy for a bit she wished to catch up on more than just the recent events.
