Gu Yao knew that the beast storage treasure wasn't something that could be identified by just anyone. Even in the top sects, there were barely a handful of people who may recognize the symbols on it. This reduced the pool of potential candidates to a handful.
"Your master, what is his cultivation base?" Gu Yao questioned again.
This time his eyes glowed in red and it seemed to have affected Lin Mu.
"And don't try to lie this time, I'll know if you do…" he added.
'Is this one of the techniques that Senior Xukong mentioned?' Lin Mu wondered.
The others were also listening to the question and Wu Hei was particularly interested in this as well.
"I do not know." Lin Mu straightway said.
"What?" Gu Yao asked feeling a bit bewildered.
"I do not know what his cultivation base is." Lin Mu said again.
Gu Yao glared at Lin Mu and his eyes glowed with a red light. But even after a minute, he seemed to be unable to sense anything.
'He's not lying… He really doesn't know…' Gu Yao realized.
Even if Gu Yao had doubts about the authenticity of this information, the technique he was using confirmed that Lin Mu was not lying.
While Gu Yao was thinking of this, Xukong was telling Lin Mu something else.
"Can you move your right hand now?" Xukong questioned.
"Yes, I can move the fingers a little bit." Lin Mu answered.
"Good, that should be enough. Now, this is what I need you to do…" Xukong started explaining.
The more Xukong spoke the more Lin Mu was excited. If the method that Senior Xukong Had just told him worked then it would be possible for him to get freed from the bindings. But for this method to work, Lin Mu needed more time and for that, he would have to distract Gu Yao for more time.
"Why did you do this?" Lin Mu questioned.
"Why? To get what's rightfully mine of course. And to destroy the Empire." Gu Yao answered.
His words shocked everyone in the chamber. If words such as these were spoken in public that person would be swiftly executed for treason against the empire. The empire was the supreme ruler of the world and the people were its subjects.
"The Gu clan from hundred years ago… so you belong to them." Lin Mu spoke in an understanding tone.
"Oh? You actually know about this? That's interesting, the emperor did his best to erase all traces of our existence and yet someone knows about it." Gu Yao said in an impressed tone.

"But how were you able to survive when the Gu clan was exterminated back then?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The emperor greatly underestimated us. We knew that it wouldn't be good to stay in the open anymore, and thus we decided to hide. We sacrificed a majority of our clan to hide a few and resources. We had vowed to have revenge against the empire." Gu Yao said with fervor.
"So this place… these ruins. They are the inheritance that the Gu clan got all those years ago." Lin Mu stated.
Gu Yao tilted his head as he was rather surprised by Lin Mu's words. He had not expected this piece of information to even be known to anyone. Even in his clan, there were only a handful of people that knew about it and they were all dead except for him.
"Enough talk, time to finish this all." Gu Yao said hurriedly before waving his hand.
Lin Mu could tell that the man was flustered after having this fact revealed. Even Lin Mu didn't know that this was the inheritance that the Gu clan obtained back then. According to what Jing Wei had told him, the site of the inheritance was unknown and that it was destroyed.
But by linking all the runes and chambers that existed in this place, it was obvious to Lin Mu that it was the inheritance site that the Gu clan gained. Even the existence of the Gu Legion became obvious because of it.
'So the Gu clan went into hiding and established the Gu legion. But to make things easier for them, they also made a cultivation sect called the Autumn Valley sect and made their cultivators legitimate. All the while they were kidnapping and sacrificing the cultivators to fuel Gu Yao's cultivation while also gaining power.' Lin Mu analyzed.
"Aargh!"
Suddenly a pain filled shout was heard and Lin Mu looked towards its source. The one who had shouted was none other than Quan Hong. A streak of blood flowed up to his head and entered his seven apertures. He tried to resist, but nothing seemed to be working.
"YOU! STOP THIS!" The supreme elder shouted with difficulty.
"It will be over soon and then you all will have nothing to worry." Gu Yao uttered before flicking his hand and doing the same to Fa Lao.
"AARGH!" Fa Lao shouted in pain as well.
The people watched in horror, except for Qing Yuan Tiu, who was watching with interest. She wondered what kind of technique the sect ancestor was using.
A few seconds later their shouting stopped, and the bindings on them disappeared as well.

Both Quan Hong and Fa Lao collapsed to the ground and stayed motionless for a minute before moving. The Supreme elder and Peak master Yi Deng had thought that they had died, but it did not seem to be the case. But what they saw only terrified them even more.
"This servant greets master!" Both Fa Lao and Quan Hong stated in a respectful tone.
They looked up and one could see a faint red glimmer in their eyes.
"YOU FIEND! What did you do to them?!" The supreme elder questioned with rage.
"I just made them my faithful servants," Gu Yao said before looking towards the supreme elder. "Don't worry, it will be your turn as well." He added.
"I have to thank that merchant thought. That being that tried to take over me, I learned a few things from it. They complement my cultivation technique quite well and even enhance it." Gu Yao said.
