The First High Elder thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's pretending to be a pig to hunt a tiger.' The Grand Elder understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such individuals, the Grand Elder knew that fighting would not be easy. Not to mention, they were already at a disadvantage, having lost so much. Engaging him in battle would bring no benefits and would instead push them deeper into an abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SIGH\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this, the two men let out long sighs, their expressions growing somber as the weight of their years settled on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why… did you do this? What did we do to deserve this…\" The Grand Elder couldn't help but ask, his voice tinged with exhaustion and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah?\" Lin Mu let out a sharp laugh upon hearing that. \"You ask what you did? From threatening helpless commoners to hunting me down just for interfering? Are these the actions of a righteous sect? Hell, I even spared Chijin Ou and Jilin Tu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave you two warnings first. You ignored them. The third time, you sent assassins after me, so I gave you a severe warning. And yet, I still let your Elder live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to try again? Even the Demonic Sects are smarter than that! At least they reassess their risks before acting out so foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you all grow dumb from being in seclusion all this time?\" Lin Mu mocked them mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Grand Elder and the First High Elder were hearing everything from Lin Mu's perspective, they couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, what?\" The Grand Elder's brows furrowed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. We were told otherwise.\" The First High Elder's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu raised an eyebrow in incredulity. \"You mean to say you were unaware of the actions of your own sect's members?\" He shook his head, a cold smirk on his face. \"My, my… even mortal sects are better organized than you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How… did we end up falling into this?\" Even the Grand Elder couldn't help but wonder aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I think of it… Why were the disciples and the elders so high-handed? I had my suspicions before, but I didn't think the Patriarch himself would be misled.\" The First High Elder muttered, realization dawning on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu observed the two elders carefully, searching for any falsehoods in their words, but he could see that they were genuinely perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep frown appeared on his face as a few thoughts ran through his mind. He recalled Xukong's words from before and wondered if there was truly an external factor at play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By any chance… did the sect start taking some new substance? Whether herbs or pills? Or perhaps practice a new technique?\" Lin Mu asked, his voice carrying a sharp edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't think so… why do you ask?\" The Grand Elder responded, clearly puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a suspicion that something has been affecting the minds of your members,\" Lin Mu stated bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that even possible?\" The First High Elder turned to the Grand Elder, his face full of doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know. There hasn't been anything like that in the sect,\" the Grand Elder admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could dwell on the topic any further, the sound of a large group of people approaching at high speed filled the air. Lin Mu sensed them first and saw thousands heading in their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling their auras, he immediately knew they were coming for a fight. His grip on his swords tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elders also spotted them and were momentarily alarmed—until they recognized who they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Teng Clan is here to support the River Bending Axe Sect!\" came a booming declaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More fools,\" Lin Mu spat, raising his swords without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" The Grand Elder pleaded. \"I can handle this.\" He didn't want the situation to spiral further out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\" Lin Mu relented. \"But if they try anything, Ram Orchard City will have one less noble clan by the end of today.\" His voice carried a bone-chilling certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\" The Grand Elder quickly assured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POOOOOOOOOOOONG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even address the Teng Clan, a deep, resonant horn echoed across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, everyone assumed it was from the Teng Clan. But then, they realized the sound had come from another direction entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second group of people became visible on the horizon. They arrived in a grand procession, bringing multiple carriages, chariots, and a troop of mounted beasts. Their banners billowed in the wind, proudly displaying their affiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ten Petals Company?!\" The Grand Elder's eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are they here?\" The Patriarch of the Teng Clan's expression twisted in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GONG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AMITABHA!\" A loud gong reverberated, followed by the rhythmic chanting of a hundred monks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden light emerged from yet another direction, growing stronger with each moment as the chants intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The monks of the Buddhist Temple?\" The First High Elder turned in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are they here too?\" The Teng Clan Patriarch muttered, growing increasingly unsettled. \"Did they come to assist the sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch, did the sect have such strong ties with them? How did we not know?\" an elder beside him questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" The Patriarch's face darkened with unease. A sense of foreboding loomed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With three new factions arriving, the remaining members of the River Bending Axe Sect were at a complete loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the air became suffocating as the various forces sized each other up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu, however, had a faint smile on his face. He recognized a few of the figures among the approaching groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Teng Clan's forces moved in closer, halting at a distance of 200 meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Mu! Surrender yourself for the crime of harming the River Bending Axe Sect!\" The Teng Clan Patriarch demanded, his voice full of self-righteous fury.\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-05-29T03:26:26.345Z","2026-06-01T04:29:03.896Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3f34b13b01688c8581de53e45677a2cbae5e834b97e4ed63f5df4110f312a1b","walker-of-the-worlds-chapter-2721","walker-of-the-worlds-chapter-2719",3686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwalker-of-the-worlds-cover.jpg"]
