A Compiled Report
With Mu Niu's breakthrough, Lin Mu was assured that the Mu clan would be fine for the time being, even if he was not there. While Nascent soul realm cultivators were what Gu Yao had many, it was still not possible for him to just send any random one to target someone.

After all, one must remember that even after the blood tide happened and he put the blame on Lin Mu the one who got the fame of repelling the blood tide was Wu Xun. Even then, Gu Yao did not want to reveal himself to the world and wanted to stay hidden.
