Chapter 1006 - Showing Wu Hei The Kong Plane

Hearing that Lin Mu was about to contact the Long Cloud alliance, Wu Hei was surprised.

"You can contact them from here? I thought they blocked the transmission with jamming formations?" Wu Hei questioned.

"They have. I just won"t be using a jade slip here." Lin Mu answered.

"They how?" Wu Hei asked, feeling curious.

"Oh, you want to come with me?" Lin Mu inquired.

"Come where?" Wu Hei questioned.

"A minor plane." Lin Mu answered.

"WHAT!?" Wu Hei was stunned now.

"Wait, you need to take the oath before that though." Lin Mu spoke.

"An oath? Why?" Wu Hei asked.

"It"s to ensure that you won"t be controlled by Gu Yao and the Northern Tribes and also won"t harm the Long Cloud alliance"s interest while also keeping the Xiaofan world safe." Lin Mu replied.

But seeing that Wu Hei was still a bit confused, he explained to Wu Hei about it a bit more. After hearing it all, Wu Hei was relieved.

"Let"s do it!" Wu Hei said with confidence.

Taking the Oath was a rather surreal experience for Wu Hei. He had not expected to feel such a strong presence coming from the skies. He knew it was something big, something great.

"This is the world… our world." Wu Hei understood.

"Let"s head to the Kong Plane now." Lin Mu revealed the name.

~shua~

The anchoring runes of Lin Mu"s back glowed and came to life as Wu Hei felt a force pulling on him. His vision suddenly went dark, and he felt like he had been thrown across a large area for a moment.

But when his vision returned, he saw that he had arrived in an entirely different place.

"This…" Wu Hei couldn"t help but feel shocked.

He had known about different teleportation methods and even sacred grounds, but he had not expected there to be such a method that could take one directly without the use of a talisman or a formation array.

Lin Mu gave Wu Hei a short introduction about the place before he quickly sent the information to the Long Cloud alliance. They couldn"t stay in the Kong Plane for Long since there was a chance the Gu Legion members at the Mansion find out about his disappearance. 

Even if they couldn"t sense what was going on in Wu Hei"s study, there were still ways to detect if he was simply present there or not. It was fine if the Dao Sh.e.l.l realm cultivator didn"t actively check it, but if he did, he would probably detect it.

Once they were done in the Kong Plane, Lin Mu took Wu Hei back to the Study.

~knock~ knock ~ knock~

And just as they appeared, they heard the door being knocked frantically.

"Minster Wu! Minister Wu! Are you there!? Please answer!" someone said from behind the doors.

"Let me take care of this, you hide." Wu Hei said as his expression turned serious.

"Sure." Lin Mu said as he faded away into thin air.

Wu Hei paused for a second seeing this but pushed the surprise aside for the time being.

"Come in!" Wu Hei spoke and waved his hand.

~shua~

A few runes appeared on the door before it unlocked automatically.

~Creak~

Once the door opened, in walked several people. Though there were some guards among them too.

"Are you fine, Minister Wu? We didn"t get any answer from you when we came to deliver the reports." A steward spoke.

Wu Hei felt the gazes of the guards who were Gu Legion members on him and knew that they might be suspecting something.

"It is fine. I was simply having some wine," Wu Hei said and gestured to the open jar of wine on the table.

The faint fragrance of the wine was still spread in the air and helped serve as additional proof.

"A-alright. I"m relieved you are fine, my lord." The steward said.

"You can put the reports and leave. I do not want to be disturbed for the rest of the day." Wu Hei said.

The servants looked at Wu Hei"s expression and guessed that something might have happened. The Steward"s eyes lingered on the jar of wine and recognized its value.

"Quick, everyone leave! Let the minister have some time alone." The Steward said, understanding that Wu Hei might not be in the right mind s.p.a.ce.

"Lord Minister has been working hard and has been stressed for a long time now. Perhaps it is finally catching up to him." The steward thought.

The servants and guards quickly left while the Steward closed the door on his way out.

Wu Hei kept on looking for a minute more while using his spirit sense to ensure that they were all gone.

~hum~

Waving his hand, he locked the door with a formation again and spoke, "you can come out now." 

~shua~

Lin Mu reappeared beside Wu Hei in the very next moment.

"I can never get used to your skills." Wu Hei said, finding them both surprising and impressive.

He understood by now that Lin Mu was definitely manipulating s.p.a.ce and not just that his talent in that was evidently very high.

"That steward is rather good, too. He tacitly understood, it seems." Lin Mu replied.

"Steward Kai is one of the good ones. He is not from the Gu Legion and was a.s.signed to father by the king. He apparently comes from a long line of royal stewards that have been serving the royal family and the a.s.sociated n.o.bles for hundreds of years." Wu Hei stated.

Lin Mu nodded his head and sat down on the lounger again.

"Looks like despite being surrounded by the Gu Legion, you still managed to get some good people. I saw that Hei Wan is here too now." Lin Mu spoke.

"Ah yes… I managed to get lucky, I suppose. As for Hei Wan… that was a bit difficult. But I needed her here. There was no one else I could entrust my mother to." Wu Hei replied.

"About your mother… what happened?" Lin Mu questioned.

"That…" Wu Hei muttered as he poured out more wine into the cups and downed them.
