Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 409 - 399: Saw Myself, the Self in Reincarnation
"Who is that?!"
"Come down immediately!"
At this moment, Liu Shan shouted at Su Mu who was on the steps.
Everyone around lifted their heads to look at Su Mu.
In such a solemn ritual, someone actually dared to openly approach Mutei Temple, which was nothing short of a direct provocation to everyone present, desecrating Mutei Temple!
Faced with Liu Shan’s questioning, Su Mu did not stop walking, continuing up the steps toward Mutei Temple.
Wu Han was stunned to see Su Linmu daring to do such a thing at such a solemn ceremony. Did he not hear a single word of what he had said to him earlier??
"Who is he??"
"Does anyone know him?"
Liu Changxun turned around and asked the crowd behind him.
He couldn’t see through this man’s cultivation!
The next moment, a middle-aged man in a blue long robe scrambled out, answering, "To the lord, he is a servant from our City Lord’s Mansion. I will call him back immediately!"
"Su Linmu!"
"Get down here now!"
This middle-aged man in blue is a steward at the City Lord’s Mansion and Wu Han’s superior.
Seeing his subordinate dare to act so recklessly in such an important occasion, he was dumbfounded, trembling with fear, his voice shaking.
But no matter how they shouted, Su Mu did not stop walking, continuing to head toward Mutei Temple.
At this point, Liu Shan became furious.
Knowing it was his own subordinate, Liu Shan felt his face burning with embarrassment, his face turning green with anger as he circulated his cultivation technique, terrifying spiritual power gathering in his palm. He prepared to directly strike and kill Su Mu!
"Stop, brother!"
Liu Changxun sensed something was wrong and hurriedly stopped him, but it was too late.
The terrifying spiritual power transformed into a silver Dharma Seal, crushing toward Su Mu. Everyone’s eyes were cold, fixed on Su Mu. If eyes could kill, Su Mu would have died countless times by now.
But in the next instant, what happened left everyone in a daze.
The silver Dharma Seal completely dissipated before it even approached Su Mu, turning into tiny specks of dust.
Upon closer inspection, it was the array of Mutei Temple that had protected Su Mu, neutralizing Liu Shan’s attack!
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Liu Shan was a Golden Core Great Perfection powerhouse, yet he had not managed to kill this seemingly powerless mortal with one strike??
The crucial point was not just that, but why would the array of Mutei Temple protect such a mortal?
As Liu Shan prepared to strike again,
Liu Changxun intervened to stop him.
He gazed at Su Mu’s back, feeling inexplicably that this person was not without cultivation. It was very likely that his cultivation had reached such a high level that no one could perceive it, making everyone assume he was just an ordinary mortal without cultivation. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Therefore, this man was definitely not someone to provoke; if he wished, he could wipe them all out with a wave.
Liu Changxun was not afraid of death; even if the opponent was mighty, he feared nothing and vowed to defend Mutei Temple to the death.
He was amazed that Mutei Temple’s array did not attack him but protected him instead.
There was only one possibility, that this man might be a high-ranking member of the Divine Alliance.
But... why would a high-ranking member of the Divine Alliance disguise as a servant and come to his mansion?
This made no sense!
Even considering a "secret visit," it was highly unlikely they would come to such a remote place like Dongyuan Continent!
Just like the Emperor would never secretly visit remote mountains, right??
While Liu Changxun was pondering, Wu Han took a deep breath, stepped forward, and mustered the courage to shout to Su Mu, "Old Mu! Come back now!"
Hearing this, Liu Changxun asked Wu Han, "Do you know him?"
Wu Han nodded, "To the lord, I have known him for over ten years."
After hearing this, Liu Changxun’s brow furrowed slightly; if it’s been over ten years, the possibility of a "secret visit" could be ruled out.
How could a high-ranking member of the Divine Alliance disguise as a servant for over ten years? That’s absolutely impossible.
Wu Han was sweating nervously as he watched Su Mu’s back. Old Mu was never like this before, how could he do such a thing? It felt like he had become a different person; everything he said and did was completely different from before.
In his memory, Old Mu loved to drink but was actually an honest person with a somewhat timid personality. How could he do such a thing at such an important ceremony?
Moreover, wasn’t Old Mu always just an ordinary mortal without any cultivation?
Why was he able to easily neutralize City Lord Liu Shan’s attack?
One must understand that City Lord Liu Shan was a Golden Core Great Power!
People like Wu Han couldn’t see that it was actually the array of Mutei Temple that neutralized Liu Shan’s attack. To them, it seemed like Liu Shan’s attack was blocked before even reaching him.
......
Like that, no one could stop Su Mu’s steps.
Very soon, he approached the front of Mutei Temple, paused briefly, and then proceeded inside.
This sight struck fear into everyone.
This man is actually going inside?!
Mutei Temple is not a place just anyone has the privilege to enter and worship; most people can only worship from afar.
Even Liu Changxun himself had only been inside once, and that was on the day he passed the assessment, entering once with an envoy from the Divine Alliance.
....
Su Mu stood before the temple, paused for a moment, and then gazed inward.
He was now certain that the very strange summoning feeling was emanating from inside the temple.
Actually, he didn’t even understand why he had the courage to come here. Despite the rage and curses from everyone below, he seemed... unafraid?
No trace of anxiety, only a profound calm.
He proceeded into the temple.
Before him stood the massive door; he reached out and easily pushed open the exceedingly heavy door.
As it opened, a gust of wind blew out from inside the temple, rustling the hem of his garment.
As he stepped inside,
the candles on the walls instantly lit up, illuminating the interior brilliantly.
The golden candlelight adorned the ancient walls, with the flickering shadows casting exquisite patterns on the ground.
Su Mu slowly lifted his head to look at the sculpture ahead.
When his gaze landed on the sculpture, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he froze on the spot.
