Trouble Stalled
As soon as High Elder Juxue's words were heard, a great uproar spread.
"Daoist Mu Lin actually defeated and killed someone three stages above him!"
"Not just that, he killed his opponent by resisting that mental skill."
"Forget that, the other powers won't sit still after learning that Dugu Shanhe had used unorthodox techniques. Those that lost to him, will definitely be upset."
"Do you think there was someone backing Dugu Shanhe?"
"Of course, there is no way he would have been alone. Someone needs to have taught him all that after all."
Thousands of mouths gossiped at the same time, giving Lin Mu a lot of information at once. At the very least, he was relieved that the people were now focused on Dugu Shanhe instead of him.
After all, the realization that a top contender was using forbidden and unorthodox mental skill was quite concerning to all of them. It opened up a large box of questions.
