Recruiting Jingming Shang

Jingming Shang was still confused about how Lin Mu actually managed to get in despite the barriers. He could have understood if Lin Mu broke or dismantled the formations, but when he left the building, he was sure that all of the barriers were intact and unaffected.

After thinking for a bit, Jingming Shang decided to let it go and just attributed it to some skill that Lin Mu might have. After all, he had reached the Nascent Soul realm in such a small time. It should be less shocking that he would have some method like this.

Lin Mu and Jingming Shang discussed a bit more and Lin Mu explained his end of the things and how Gu Yao's plan was working. The alliances, the conflicts, the emperor's sickness, everything was an intricate plan made by Gu Yao with the assistance of the Northern tribes.

"Hmm… now that I think about it, there have been a lot of rumors about the northern tribes in the past few years." Jingming Shang suddenly spoke.
