Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 1851 A Talk With The High Elder

Lin Mu looked at High Elder Juxue and the other formation masters that were standing there.

The formation masters seemed particularly tense and were busy doing checks over checks of the formation array. It was clear that the past incidents had made them anxious.

'They probably got a stern talking to even if this was not their fault in general.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The actions of Yao Changying were to be all blamed on her, but the Temple of the Four Guardian beasts had also vowed to provided a fair and secure tournament.

Even if Yao Changying had broken the rules and caused damage to the others, the Temple would still have to take responsibility for it.

After all, even the Temple's members had gotten injured in it and were still recovering with some having their cultivation bases regressed. This was a severe situation and while they would not be punished, the formation masters would still have to be very alert for the finals.

They had talked about the two finalists, Lin Mu and Third Prince Feng Baxing and didn't think that there would be any issues. At the very least they were considered to be 'verified' and unlikely to cause trouble themselves.

Rather than them, the temple was more concerned about the other parties that were interfering in the tournament. Their identities had still not be verified, other than the temple guessing that there were diviners involved.

As such, they still needed to watch out for any warnings.

Lin Mu thought of a few things before approaching the High Elder. There was still time left till the start of the match and the Third Prince had not appeared yet, as such there was no issues in him talking to the old man.

'I may as well inquire some things directly from him.' Lin Mu reckoned.

"I heard Yao Changying has disappeared?" Lin Mu asked in a low voice.

"Indeed. It is rather perplexing as to how she managed to bypass the cordon we had set." High Elder Juxue wasn't concerned that Lin Mu knew about this, as finding out this bit of information was easy enough now.

"Have they looked into Spatial Disturbances?" Lin Mu questioned next. "It seems likely that she used a teleportation talisman or some tool to get away quickly."

"We are looking into that of course. But even with our Formation masters, pinpointing spatial disturbances due to Teleportation is not easy. Especially if it was done within the world itself. If it was cross continent or cross world, we would know for sure." High Elder Juxue explained. "Perhaps if we had a Spatial Master we would be able to do it quickly." He added after a moments pause.

Lin Mu raised his brows at that, but didn't think the man was talking about him.

"Surely the Temple has a few Spatial masters right? Even if Space is one of the Three Primordial elements, the Temple should still have a few people with its affinity." Lin Mu inquired wondering if they had someone.

"We do yes." High Elder Juxue confirmed. "But there are just two such individuals. And both of them are occupied with missions for a while."

"Oh? Are they also elders of the Temple?" Lin Mu asked curiously.

"Feeling interested in the temple of the guardian beasts, huh?" High Elder Juxue asked back. "If you wanna know more, you can just join us you know?" he suddenly said.

"Uhh… I didn't know it was confidential information." Lin Mu was taken aback, but quickly came up with a response. "As much as I would like to do that, I'll still have to consult my master about that."

"Haha, I'm just joking." High Elder Juxue chuckled. "It isn't confidential. At the very least, you'll be able to learn it once you search a bit." The old man stated.

"Really? Then who are they?" Lin Mu asked openly.

"The first is none other than the current Temple Head." High Elder Juxue replied. "He is a Transcendent Immortal and has the most important duty of presiding over the shrines." He revealed.

Lin Mu didn't expect that one of the two spatial experts would be the head of the temple here.

"It does make sense as to why he would be busy." Lin Mu nodded his head. "And what about the second expert?" he asked next.

"That is the Envoy of the Western Immortal Court who is posted in the Rust Sky world." High Elder Juxue answered. "But he is currently investigating a few concerning matters in the Holy Topaz Dynasty."

"Oh he's the one investigating Yao Changying's links to the Holy Topaz Dynasty?" Lin Mu guessed.

"Not just that." High Elder Juxue shook his head. "That was something that was given to him only recently. Before that he was in charge of investigating the disappearance of a certain Demon."

"The Violet Mystic Life Tree…" Lin Mu muttered, pretending to be shocked.

"So you know too." High Elder Juxue said with slight interest.

"Yes. In fact, I was there in the Blood Stained Battlefield when it happened." Lin Mu stated the fact.

"Oh?" High Elder Juxue was a bit surprised.

Lin Mu had said this as there was no use in hiding this. With the Temple's influence finding this was child's play. Not to mention, the Crown Prince and a few others knew it too.

In fact, with how many people were in attendance here at the tournament Lin Mu was sure that there were people present here who might have seen him at the battlefield too.

"Yeah, I met quite a lot of people there. Even one of the previous winners of the Tournament." Lin Mu revealed a bit more, trying to establish a rapport with the elder.

"And who might that be?" High Elder Juxue asked, though he had a bit of a hunch.

"Steel Horned General Niu Juo." Lin Mu revealed.

"Hoho… so it was him." High Elder Juxue stroked his chin, as if recalling some old memories.
