Having obtained rather intriguing information from the immortals, Lin Mu was pleased.
'Who would have thought that I would keep a king's nephew for ransom in a place like this.' Lin Mu almost felt like laughing.
But at the same time, he also realized that there must be more to this. Since even Huyun Chuan didn't know this information, it was bound to have been kept secret from him intentionally.
'With his personality he might have just thrown around the identity of a King's nephew all the time.' Lin Mu could easily imagine the scene.
"We're here." Elder Niji interrupted Lin Mu's thoughts.
The three immortals looked at the wide cave that had several stone residences built inside it. All of them had barrier formations set up around them as well as offensive formations that could retaliate in need.
"So this is the prison…" The third immortal muttered.
"He lives here, come." Lin Mu took them to the residence that Huyun Chuan had been using for a while now.
Even though he had gotten more 'neighbors' it didn't seem like he was inclined to see them any time soon.
"Come on out, Huyun Chuan. Your people are here." Lin Mu called out.
"Eleventh Master Chuan!"
"Eleventh Master Chuan! We're here!"
"Please come on out!"
The three immortals called out as well.
~THUD~
~CRASH~
The sound of someone falling and something breaking could be heard coming from the inside. Then in the next second, sound of hurried footsteps echoed before the stone door opened with a creak.
Huyun Chuan's gawked at the people standing at the gate feeling as if he was in a dream.
"Its you… it's all of you… it really is you…" Huyun Chuan muttered.
"Yes we are here, now Eleventh Master." The immortal spoke.
"AHAHAHA! I KNEW YOU WOULD COME!" In the next moment, Huyun Chuan did a 360 and exclaimed out loud.
"Are you fine, Eleventh Master?" One of the immortals asked while the second checked him with his spirit sense.
But a few seconds after that, his expression darkened.
"You crippled his cultivation?!" The Immortal turned around to face Lin Mu.
"It's just sealed. He was too troublesome. If he was as cooperative as you three, he could have just walked in." Lin Mu casually stated. "I can unseal his cultivation too. He just needs to eat an antidote pill." He added.
"Give it then," they demanded.
"Not so fast. First, I want the Teleportation talismans." Lin Mu replied.
"Hah! You'll just use them and run away." The immortal's wouldn't trust him this quickly.
"You don't have to give all three of them, just one would do. I'll study it and give you back. Until then, you can wait here with Huyun Chuan." Lin Mu said calmly.
The immortals seemed to be hesitating and looking at each other.
"Give it to him, he'll do as he says. At least that's what he has done so far…" Much to their surprise, Huyun Chuan actually vouched for Lin Mu.
"But Eleventh Master—" The immortals wanted to say soothing but were interrupted by Huyun Chuan.
"Also, fighting against him here would not be a good idea. The entire array is enough to stop even a second tribulation immortal and the army of tribals is also enough to push you all to the brink of death.
He alone is also strong…" Huyun Chuan said in a low voice.
The three immortals had seen the battle outside the mountain and the power of the army. They knew there were several more such warriors hidden in the mountain and that Lin Mu wasn't just lying.
Plus the Arrays were apparent to them too and they could assess its strength.
With all this combined the three immortals finally gave in to Lin Mu's demands.
"Fine… But you need be quick. We can't stay here for long." The immortals seemed to be in a rush.
"I'll try to be as fast as possible." Lin Mu said, but he didn't really know how long it was going to take in reality.
If things really took too long and the Immortals became restless, he would just lock them in here until he was done. He had already prepared for that and was willing to take drastic steps to fulfill his goals.
He couldn't let go of it after coming this far after all…
The three immortals simply let out a sigh, before one of them took out an object from their spatial storage tool.
"Take this," The first immortal handed it to Lin Mu.
Holding it in his hand, Lin Mu could finally take a quick look at the Teleportation Talisman.
'It is certainly different from all others I've seen before…' Lin Mu thought.
The Teleportation Talisman was rather thin, seemingly made out of some kind of fabric. It didn't look like silk, cotton, leather or hemp to Lin Mu. There weren't any visible runes or letters written on it either.
If it weren't for the minute traces of spatial fluctuations around it, Lin Mu would have doubted the authenticity of it.
"Be very careful with it. If you activate it, there is no way to stop it. Also, once it is triggered, the Huyun Clan will know too. So don't think you'll be able to run away with it." The third immortal warned one more time.
"Don't worry. Using it like this would be a waste for me." Lin Mu said before walking away.
He left the immortals with Huyun Chuan, not worried that they might run away. After all, he could monitor them for anywhere as long as they were within the Mountain. Not to mention, the arrays would trigger at the slightest sign of trouble.
'At the worst, I can use the Earth fixing Array and turn that entire cave into a tomb, burying them.' Lin Mu reckoned.
With his increased understanding off the Earth Dao, it wouldn't be that difficult for Lin Mu to achieve this now.
"Now to just figure out this talisman… the faster the better…"
