93: The disappeared old Mo

After Lin Mu left the Tao Family, he went directly to the Heavenly Dao Sect.

It had been over a hundred years since Lao Mo entered seclusion.

Lin Mu was starting to worry about Lao Mo.

The arrival of Lin Mu and his companions made everyone in the Heavenly Dao Sect ecstatic.

Some high-level cultivators who recognized Lin Mu all stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Sect Master and Vice Sect Master."

At this moment, they were in the sect's plaza.

Many disciples had gathered there.

These disciples stopped and watched when they saw the elders bowing to a few unfamiliar people.

However, when they heard the elders address these few as the Sect Master, they were all stunned.

"Sect Master?"

For the past hundred years, all matters big and small within the sect had been handled by the Grand Elder.

The newly joined disciples had never seen the Sect Master or the Vice Sect Master.

They only knew that they were super powerful Venerable Realm cultivators.

There were even rumors that the Sect Master was an Emperor Realm powerhouse.

This was spread among the lower-level disciples.

However, none of the elders came forward to refute it.

They were all quite curious about this Sect Master they had never met.

Their gazes constantly swept over the few people, guessing which one was the Sect Master.

Although Lin Mu stood in the middle of the group, his young age made him the first one they ruled out.

Yun Feiyang, at this moment, had his forehead tilted forty-five degrees, a look of arrogance on his face.

This was very similar to the rumored Vice Sect Master.

As for the three-headed monster, they automatically ignored it.

Could the Sect Master possibly be a dog?

So, everyone's final gaze fell on Long Yuan.

At this time, Long Yuan wore a green robe, and his slightly graying hair did not make him appear old.

Instead, it gave him an ethereal demeanor.

Coupled with his origin from the Upper Realm, the subtle aura he exuded made him appear even more like an immortal.

All the disciples stepped forward and bowed to Long Yuan.

"Disciples greet the Sect Master."

Long Yuan, who had been standing calmly beside Lin Mu, became a bit confused by everyone's bow.

"What's this? Sect Master?"

He then couldn't help but think, "Do these people not even recognize their own Sect Master?"

The leading elders also broke out in a cold sweat at the sight.

They had witnessed Lin Mu's swift and decisive actions.

Although a century had passed, the memory was still fresh.

Many of these sect disciples were related to them.

They were truly afraid that Lin Mu, if displeased, would simply kill them all.

So they all reprimanded, "You scoundrels, you don't even recognize the Sect Master?"

The Grand Elder now stood up and walked to Lin Mu, then said, "This is our Sect Master. Although you have just joined not long ago, you are so foolish."

"Hurry and apologize to the Sect Master!"

All the disciples showed expressions of shock.

The legendary invincible powerhouse, the Great Emperor Realm Sect Master, was actually a young man in his early twenties?

They all stood dumbfounded in place.

For a moment, they even forgot to apologize.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder channeled his spiritual power and roared, "Scoundrels, why aren't you greeting the Sect Master?"

After a hundred years of cultivation, the Grand Elder had also broken through to the Venerable Realm.

His roar immediately startled everyone.

All the disciples hastily prostrated themselves, their foreheads pressed against the backs of their hands.

They continuously said, "This disciple is ignorant; please punish me, Sect Master."

Lin Mu looked at the hundreds of figures kneeling on the ground and did not tell them to rise.

He asked the Grand Elder, "Has Lao Mo come out of seclusion?"

The Grand Elder knew Lin Mu would surely ask this.

He calmly replied, "Since the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master left, in these hundred years, this subordinate has gone to the back mountain to check every year."

"Until today, no trace of Elder Mo coming out of seclusion has been found."

Lin Mu couldn't help but ponder, "How could Lao Mo be in seclusion for so long? Could something have happened?"

Thinking of this, he left the others and instantly teleported to the back mountain.

He saw that the place was no different from a hundred years ago.

It seemed that someone frequently came here to clean it.

Lin Mu stood before the mountain gate where he had entered seclusion.

There were a total of two cave dwellings here.

Lin Mu had chosen the cave dwelling on the left back then.

According to Lao Mo's habits, if he were to enter seclusion, he would definitely choose the place closest to Lin Mu.

But Lin Mu's divine sense reached out and did not find Lao Mo's figure in the other cave dwelling.

Lin Mu deliberated repeatedly and decided to break open the cave door and go inside to look.

He walked forward and pushed with his hand.

The previously tightly shut cave door opened in response.

Lin Mu slowly walked into the cave dwelling.

The layout of this cave dwelling was almost identical to the place where Lin Mu had entered seclusion.

Lin Mu observed carefully for a while and actually discovered that this place seemed to have been uninhabited for a very long time.

Lin Mu couldn't help but think, "Could it be that Lao Mo didn't enter seclusion here?"

Thinking of this, he bent his finger and wiped his forehead with a golden light.

The Eye of the Primal God, which he had hidden, appeared.

He opened his Eye of the Primal God and scanned the entire Heavenly Dao Sect.

Under his gaze, no clue, however small, could escape his scrutiny.

However, he scanned the entire sect from top to bottom and did not find Lao Mo's figure.

Lin Mu retracted his gaze and re-hid the Eye of the Primal God.

The doubts in his heart grew heavier.

Lao Mo was the person he cared about most in his life.

But now he had been missing for over a hundred years.

With Lao Mo's abilities, it would be difficult for even an ordinary Great Emperor Realm cultivator to do anything to him.

If an accident truly happened, only Wu Daoren (Nameless/Unprincipled Man) was the most suspicious.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu already had a plan in mind.

His figure flashed, and he returned to the sect plaza.

At this time, in the plaza, the disciples were still prostrated on the ground.

Without Lin Mu's word, the Grand Elder dared not act on his own.

Seeing Lin Mu return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They then hastily shouted, "Greetings, Sect Master, we beg for your punishment."

Lin Mu was preoccupied with Lao Mo and had no mind to dwell on their earlier disrespect.

He waved his hand and said, "Ignorance is no sin. All of you may rise."

The disciples, receiving the order, happily stood up.

The Grand Elder discerned a hint from Lin Mu's expression.

It seemed Lin Mu had something to say.

He quickly stopped the people who wanted to step forward.

"The Sect Master has just returned and needs to rest. You all may withdraw for now and come to pay your respects another day."

Although the disciples were unwilling, they all wisely retreated.

Lin Mu also did not continue with pleasantries. He said concisely, "Grand Elder, immediately give orders for the sect's scouts to constantly monitor Heaven Sect Academy."

"No matter what happens, report it to me immediately."

As he spoke, Lin Mu took out a jade slip and threw it to the Grand Elder.

"I have infused this jade slip with my divine sense. You can contact me anytime through it."

The Grand Elder carefully put away the jade slip, then said, "Yes, this subordinate will go arrange it now."

After the Grand Elder left, the other elders also bowed to Lin Mu one by one and excused themselves.

Lin Mu looked at the vast plaza, now only with a few of them remaining.

He spoke, "I've decided to rest in the sect for a few days. Yun Feiyang, these next few days, you are to compile a report of all events that have occurred in the sect over the past hundred years and present it to me."

Yun Feiyang heard this and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I'll go now."

"Not showing up for a hundred years, it's time to discipline these little rascals."

After Yun Feiyang finished speaking, his figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot.
