The Supreme elder and the peak master could very well tell that the man was insane and would not budge. There was no use in talking with him anymore and the best course of action was a swift death.

~shua~

Gu Yao created a whirling ring of blood that expanded to repel the two elders' back. The wind vortex that the peak master Yi Deng had created was destroyed as well, and the spear of the supreme elder was thrown to the side.

"He still has the support of the blood pool!" The Supreme elder realized.

Lin Mu looked around and saw that even if the explosion of the Bloodline Crystal had destroyed the blood pool, the blood essence was not fully destroyed. Barely ten percent of it was perhaps burned away, but the rest of it had just sprayed around in the chamber.

Under the control of Gu Yao, the blood was slowly gathering together. The blood essence was the fuel behind his technique and how he was able to fight against two nascent soul realm cultivators at once.

"Wait, why isn't he trying to control them again?" Lin Mu suddenly questioned.

All Gu Yao had to do was to control one of them, and then the odds would be flipped again. Lin Mu's eyes darted around, and so did his spirit sense trying to find the irregularity. 

"Blink!"

"Flicker!"

"Blink!" 

Lin Mu continually dodged the attacks of Gu Yao and tried to find what he was doing. He had already detected that the spirit sense of Gu Yao was split into multiple parts currently, and each one was doing something else. The two elders were busy fighting and could not lose their focus and thus could not tell Thai Gu Yao was seeming something even further.

Lin Mu chanted the severing heart sutra, increasing his perception to the peak. It was then that he discovered the true extent of Gu Yao's spirit sense.

'He has merged it with the blood essence… so that's how he controls it. But after merging it with the blood essence, the presence of his spirit sense is almost impossible to detect.' Lin Mu realized.

He discovered that some of the blood essence streaks were moving into some random locations. But after focusing there, he realized what his ultimate goal was.

"He's creating runes!" Lin Mu exclaimed.

The two elders heard his words and became shocked. Gu Yao had a similar expression and realized that he had nearly forgotten about Lin Mu.

"YOU BRAT! I'll kill you!" Gu Yao chopped his hand in the air like a sword and a long blade made of blood was created.

"HAA!" he shouted as the blade of blood traveled at great speed.

Gu Yao had already given up on Lin Mu's master. He reckoned that the boy was trying to trick him as nothing had happened till now. If he really had a Master that was that strong and was beyond the Immortal Ascension realm, there wouldn't be any delay like this.

A cultivator like that would be all-seeing and would know what was happening where in the world. If his disciple was in trouble, he would merely have to will it and the world itself would kill him. But since nothing like that had happened, he reached the conclusion that he really was being fooled.

"NO!" The supreme elder shouted and threw his spear to intercept the blood blade.

Lin Mu could feel the wind pressure assaulting him, as the blood blade tore through the air.

"Fade…" Lin Mu muttered, disappearing from the world.

All three men, Gu Yao, Yi Deng, and the supreme elder were left in shock as the boy disappeared into thin air.

"Wait! Were those!" Yi Deng suddenly realized something.

"SPATIAL FLUCTUATIONS!" Supreme elder exclaimed.

"Does the boy have a spatial treasure? No! It cannot be… his cultivation base is far too weak to use it." Yi Deng questioned.

"No, there is another way…" The Supreme elder spoke.

Yi Deng understood the look in supreme elders' eyes and shot more wind blades at Gu Yao, who was a bit distracted.

"SENIOR! O' MASTER OF MU LIN! IF YOU ARE HEARING US, WE BESEECH YOU TO KILL THIS FIEND!" The supreme elder shouted, his voice thrumming with spirit qi.

It was as if the walls of the chamber did not exist and Supreme elder's voice traveled through the ground all the way to the surface. There it spread into the surroundings, echoing in the city. Each and every person in the Wu Lim City could hear it.

The people who were at the mayor's Manor had grim expressions on their faces. This included Zhen Shui, the hidden membered of the Hei corps, and the disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect who had been asked to stay behind.

"They are in trouble! That is the voice of the supreme elder!" Tie Dan spoke, recognizing the voice.

"What kind of problems did they run into that even the supreme elder is shouting helplessly?" Someone else quietened.

"More than that, why would they ask for help from Mu Lin's master? He's not even here…" Another person wondered.

The other citizens of the town had similar feelings and did not know what to do. 

At the Alluring Wisteria pavilion, Yue was grooming her hair when she heard the voice of the supreme elder. She bit her lip as the name of Mu Lin echoed in her voice.

"Will he be fine?…" 

At the hideout of the Hei corps, the members were all anxious as they were praying for the safety of their lord who was with them in the tunnels. They had asked to join him as back up too, but Wu Hei Had straightaway denied them, telling them that they would be more of a burden than a help.

"O' Ancestors of yore! Please help our lord, please help our Saviour!" Hei Wen prayed, her eyes red with tears.

Back at the underground chamber, Gu Yao was still fighting the two elders, when spatial fluctuations appeared again.
