971: Potential Location Of Gu Yao?

Potential Location Of Gu Yao?

Lin Mu was truly angry upon hearing the use of the failed experiments. Not only were a lot of humans sacrificed to make the Rebirth blood, even then there was no guarantee and the these cultivation base boosting pills were made.1

"Do the ones who take these pills know about it?" Lin Mu questioned.

"N-no… most don't. At least the ones that are not part of the Gu Legion directly don't know. We are not allowed to tell anyone this…~cough~" The man said as he coughed again.

Lin Mu's eyes narrowed as he sensed the further changes in the man's body. 

'Does he not sense them?' Lin Mu wondered.

His senses were fully alert and he would know if the man did anything. Even something as much as a flicker in the heartbeat would be felt by Lin Mu. Thus, he would know if the man ever lied.

But so far, he had been saying everything truthfully.

"How many pills can be made from one of the failed experiments?" Lin Mu questioned.

"I… don't know. We simply get them from the heads. Even I only know how the Reborn are made because the method is not as protected as before. Till a few months ago, other than lord Gu Yao, no one knew anything about it." The man answered, sensing Lin Mu's impatience.

"Now then… tell me where is Gu Yao? Where is the location where he is hiding and where are the locations of all your other bases?" Lin Mu asked, his grip on the stone table nearby tightening.

~CRACK~

The table couldn't bear the force anymore and shattered in Lin Mu's hands. With that as a warning, the man hurriedly spoke.

"I don't know… no one knows where he is. As for the other bases, I don't know either. That information is protected and other than those at the headquarters, only those that reside in those bases know about the actual location.

The same could be said for this base. No one other than us knows about it." The man replied.

"You're wrong… Tie Niu knew about this place." Lin Mu replied. 

"He can be considered a part of us, that's why he knew. But anyone under him wouldn't know about it." The man explained.

Lin Mu thought for a few seconds and recalled something else.

'Since I didn't see Gu Yao on the world nexus before, it means he is hiding somewhere in a different plane.' Lin Mu thought to himself before staring into the eyes of the man in front of him.

"I know for sure that Gu Yao is somewhere in a minor plane and you should know that too since you've met with him. Then don't lie and tell me that you don't know where that is." Lin Mu said while breaking the man's other leg.

~ARGH!~

The man cried in pain but held on, knowing that he'll just be tortured even more if he didn't answer in time to the question.

"I said I didn't know the exact location of it. If we want to enter the minor plane though, there are several ways." The man said, trying to get a hold of his breath.

"What are those ways?" Lin Mu asked with no chance for a bargain.

"There are set locations from where one can utilize a teleportation array to go to the main headquarters. Then there is also the talismans which can be used to enter there. Though these can only be used once." The man replied.

Hearing this Lin Mu's eyes lit up. 

'If it's either of these, our chances of infiltration will be far higher.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Where is the place where the teleportation array is located?" Lin Mu questioned. "And do you have any of those teleportation talismans?" he added.

Either of them would be fine for him as he would be able to enter it with the help of his ring as needed. Lin Mu only needed one of those talismans, and he would be able to track it all the way to its source.

But he would still be fine with the location of the teleportation array.

"The teleportation array I know is located in the Zither wind sect, though there are others that I don't know about. The information we have is limited unless we need to know about it. 

As for the teleportation talismans… only those that are of a high rank can have those. I don't even come close to that." The man spoke.

Hearing that the teleportation array was located in the Zither Wind Sect, Lin Mu realized that it must have been rather obvious, but at the same time hard to guess.

'If they have it in the Zither Wind sect, it means they have no scruples being out in the open now and have the entire sect and all of its disciples under them.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Lin Mu thought over who could potentially have such a teleportation talisman, and an idea appeared in his mind.

"Is the position of Wu Hei high in the Gu Legion?" Lin Mu questioned. "Will he have one of those teleportation talismans?" he asked.

"Wu Hei? Lord Gu Yao's nephew?" The man was surprised that Lin Mu knew about him.

"Yes, him." Lin Mu confirmed.

"He… should definitely have one of them. His rank is definitely among the top five in the Gu Legion. ~COUGH~" The man said before coughing loudly.

This time though, there was black blood present while coughing too.

Seeing this the man waste surprised.

"No. This can't be!" The man suddenly shouted.

He looked at the blood he had coughed out and looked to be scared out of his wits. Lin Mu checked it with his spirit sense and found the same traces of that strange aura on the blood.

"You're part of it too, huh…" Lin Mu muttered.

"No… no… no! I never took those! How can I have this?!" The man cried out loud.

~RUMBLE~

And just as he said this, a loud rumbling sound came from his chest.
