"Hmm… walking here makes things a bit slow." Lin Mu muttered as he roamed the streets of Skylark City.
Flying was restricted in the city, and while he could run around, there were simply too many people here making it difficult to do without bumping into them.
One could easily see how rude that would be and thus Lin Mu avoided that.
As for running over the roofs?
That might be even more offensive and the guards might come to restrain the offenders a lot more quickly.
'Though it seems like the others are used to this…' Lin Mu didn't find it too bad, but it did make it a little inconvenient if one wanted to get some place faster.
"OUT OF THE WAY!" And just as Lin Mu was thinking this, he heard a rather loud voice.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
Looking back, he saw a large beast approaching.
It looked like an elephant but had two bull heads instead. Its tail was like that of a wolf while its legs were covered in scales. The beast was about the same size as a large elephant but its cultivation base was at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.

There was a person sitting on the head of the beast who was also the one shouting. The beast driver was a shifty faced man and was rather thin too. Which made it even more surprising as he was at the First Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.
"Can't you all commoners see! Lord Luo Tu is here, give way!" The Beast driver shouted.
Everyone's eyes went to the back of the elephant where a large seat was placed. It was red and gold in color, and had a pagoda like roof too with thin muslin curtains around it. Inside it one, could vaguely see the figure of a man sitting in a lounging position.
Barely any immortal Qi fluctuations could be felt coming from him, making it hard to estimate what his cultivation base was.
But to Lin Mu, that was more than enough.
'Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal?' Lin Mu roughly estimated.
As for the other people, the name of the man seemed to be more than enough as they all parted to give way.
"What is Lord Luo Tu doing here today?"
"Yeah, isn't he usually cooped up in his favorite pleasure pavilion?"
"Don't know, but its better to just let it be. I don't want any trouble."
The people in the crowd discussed lightly.
Lin Mu heard their words and understood that the man might be one of the higher ranked people here, or a member of the aristocratic order.
The large elephant beast continued onwards as the sea of people parted at its appearance.
"This is a good chance." Lin Mu sped up a bit and used the empty corridor that had formed to go ahead.
He did this for about ten minutes and had crossed several streets.
'If I walked normally, this would have taken an hour at least… I can't even blink here carelessly.' Lin Mu was feeling restricted for the first time after a long time.
Still, he didn't want to cause any trouble for no reason and could only go along with the flow.
And while he was following the elephant beast, he saw several other beasts as well. They all seemed to be nobles and were riding large beasts while another person drove the beast.
Similar to Lord Tuo, the other nobles were also given way to speed ahead.
Lin Mu hoped that he could continue like this at least half way to the Teleportation array, but it seemed like fate wasn't in his favor today.
"LUO TU! You dared touch my woman! I'll end you today!" The furious roar of a man could be suddenly heard.
~SHUA~
In the next moment, a black blur seemed to rush the throne on the back of the elephant beast.
~BOOM~
p The throne was blasted away, but the man inside it was unharmed. A formation barrier protected him, and he was still sitting in the same way as before.ReadNovelFull.me
"ARGH!" The shifty faced man sitting at the front though, wasn't as fortunate.
The splinters from the throne had injured him, and his forehead was also bleeding. Though the man had not fallen off the beast's head and was still sitting on it.
~MOOOO~
The beast was startled by this and let out a loud cry while raising its body.
~SHING~
But it seemed like this was just the start as another attack came. This time one could see a black dagger stabbing into the beast.
~SLICK~
The dagger tore through the immortal beast's flesh effortlessly before coming out of its head.
~CRASH~
The beast collapsed on the ground, as life drained out of it. It couldn't even make another cry before dying, showing the weapon that had harmed it was not simple at all.
"RUN!"
"AHH! GUARDS! GUARDS!"
"MURDER!"
The people quickly ran away screaming as they witnessed the incident.
Lin Mu who saw the scene was a bit baffled.
"What the… aren't these people immortals too? Why are they acting like some peasants?" Lin Mu couldn't help but say.
A majority of the people that were walking on the streets were immortals. Even if they were just False immortals or first tribulation stage immortals, it still counted.
Lin Mu had thought that someone who could reach this point would be a lot more brave, but the current situation had broken that illusion.
"WHO DARES!" It was at this point that Lord Luo Tu shouted.
With the collapse of his throne, his appearance could finally be seen. He wore gold and green robes, and was decent looking.
Though at the same time, his body seemed to be a little too slim and pale, as if he hadn't gotten enough nutrition.
Comparing him to his beast driver, it was hard to tell who was thinner. The only thing he had going for him was that he was taller than his servant.
