Chapter 4492: Don't Make Trouble
The old man looked unfamiliar, yet he was smiling cheerfully at Lin Moyu, as if he knew him well.
At his side were three women, each equally smiling at Lin Moyu they were all faces Lin Moyu had encountered once before.
A distant memory stirred back in the Grand World, when Lin Moyu painstakingly reached the Other Shore realm, he had glimpsed a lakeside scene: a group collecting ancestral water and handing it to a white robed elderly man.
Back then, Lin Moyu hadn't realized the white robed elder's level, but later learned he was a Supreme, as was the green robed one chaos' very peak.
The three women were among those collecting water at the lake.
To Lin Moyu, these three should be subordinates of the Supreme, so why were they here? Wasn't the Central Domain ruled by the green robe?
"Greetings, Daoist Lin, I have waited a long time," the old man said with courteous respect.
The three women also bowed, their beautiful eyes brimming with curiosity directed at Lin Moyu.
Clearly, these people had come specifically for Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu stepped out of the teleport array and greeted the elder: "I greet you, senior. What business would you have with me?"
The elderly man wore the attire of the God Alliance and was a chaos Perfection expert one of the very best, his natural aura as heavy as the Wine Sovereign's.
There were many Perfection experts in the Alliance, but few as great as this one; Lin Moyu judged his position was very high.
The elder squinted and smiled, "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Mu, given name Tianze, and I am the Vice Leader of the Central Domain God Alliance."
Vice Leader...
Lin Moyu hadn't expected this status; the Alliance had one true leader and a vice; the main leader was mysterious and rarely ever seen.
On normal days, all major affairs of the Alliance were handled by the vice leader.
Mu Tianze continued, "These three are fairies from the Upper Domain, here at our Alliance for business. Upon hearing you'd arrived, they wanted to meet you no other reason."
Mu Tianze didn't elaborate on their purpose; the three didn't speak, only gazing curiously at Lin Moyu.
They made no sound or mental transmission anyone not in the know might think they couldn't speak.
Of course, this was just a joke chaos Perfection beings can remake their bodies at will; silence is never disability.
Lin Moyu quickly realized the white robe was an Upper Domain Supreme, while the green robe was the Central Domain's.
The two Supremes were close and so were their Domains; the women were likely here on the white robed Supreme's business.
With war brewing in the South Pole and the Alliance mobilizing, with the North Pole possibly next, Upper Domain agents were on the move so this was normal.
Lin Moyu said, "Greetings Vice Leader Mu. May I ask why you summoned me?"
Mu Tianze didn't answer directly; he glanced at the three women.
One smiled, "Since Vice Leader has business, we sisters will take our leave."
Mu Tianze nodded, "Give my regards to Leader Luo."
She replied brightly, "Your words will be delivered. Daoist Lin, do visit Upper Domain Alliance as a guest sometime."
Lin Moyu replied with equal politeness, not committing to when or if he'd go.
With a glow from the teleport array, the three women disappeared.
Mu Tianze beckoned, "Daoist Lin, please follow me."
Lin Moyu wasn't sure what Mu's purpose was, but knew there was no malice.
He had a hunch the ever absent true Leader might be the green robe a very plausible scenario.
If so, Lin Moyu knew there could be no harm intended.
He followed Mu Tianze down a path away from the transmission area, toward the Alliance's headquarters.
Tall, awe inspiring towers lay ahead refined, majestic, radiating authority.
Above the headquarters a floating castle hovered a powerful artifact surpassing Perfection, its aura shocking.
Yet Mu Tianze took Lin Moyu onto a side path, through a grove to a small, ancient village.
The village was quaint, with perhaps a hundred houses, scattered but orderly.
Behind lay hills and a stream winding through, leaving the village for distant lands.
Birdsong and flowers blanketed the scene; a peacefulness pervaded, dissolving all cares upon entry.
Mu Tianze finally spoke, "This is where us old folks retire and rest."
Lin Moyu replied, "It really is a good place blessed by nature and talent."
He noticed clusters of immense soul flames flickering slowly through the village a sign that their owners were calm, unhurried.
Yet all these soul flames belonged to top tier Perfection experts.
Out in the world, such experts were rare, yet here were a hundred and doubtless, more were hidden.
There may well be other villages like this.
The strength of the God Alliance was evident.
Mu Tianze and Lin Moyu walked the village path. "Daoist Lin, you once helped solve the cross domain array issue in the East. That was a huge help."
Lin Moyu kept quiet; although resolving the array was important, he didn't think such a task warranted the vice leader's personal thanks.
Seeing his silence, Mu Tianze continued, "Recently, the leader visited and asked us to prepare a little something for you."
Lin Moyu asked, "What kind of thing?"
Mu Tianze answered, "Just some materials nothing of great value, but the leader said Daoist Lin might need them, so we prepared a batch."
The leader Mu Tianze referred to was certainly the green robe.
Why not deliver it himself? Why use Mu Tianze as agent?
There must be some restriction at play Lin Moyu recalled the green robe once said during his descent to the Source Continent, "The walls have ears."
Apparently, there were things he really couldn't do personally, so he had to ask others.
Entering the village, Lin Moyu instantly felt dozens of powerful wills scanning him up and down.
Some were friendly, others invasive, attempting to peer inside.
Ordinary cultivators would have to endure such prying due to the status and strength of the wielders.
But Lin Moyu wouldn't put up with it: World Burning Flame flared on his body, instantly incinerating all those probing wills.
A chorus of grunts echoed from all over the village, followed by angry muttering these ancient cultivators clearly disliked Lin Moyu's method.
Mu Tianze calmly addressed them, "Take it easy Daoist Lin is the leader's guest. Don't make trouble."
