Lin Mu wondered what was so important that she had co all the way here herself.
He no longer concealed himself and flew openly toward the fleet.
The mont he approached within range the reaction was imdiate.
Buzz!
Formation arrays lit up across the ships and the energy grew.
Several immortal cannons erged from hidden compartnts and pointed directly at him.
Protective arrays activated one after another.
Voices rang out across the fleet.
"Intruder detected!"
"All n at arms!"
"Unknown immortal approaching!"
"Prepare defensive formations!"
Figures began appearing on deck after deck.
Immortal guards gathered rapidly while weapon arrays humd with energy.
Many looked confused.
A lone man standing openly in outer space was strange enough already.But the fact that he appeared from empty space without a vessel made it even more suspicious. Lin Mu simply stopped and hovered calmly.
He had no intention of letting them mistake him for an enemy.
A minute later movent appeared upon the central flagship.
The doors of the main hall opened.
A familiar figure stepped out.
Lady Kang herself erged onto the deck.
She had likely co personally to inspect the commotion.
And she was not alone.
Standing beside her was Min Ju.
Lin Mu looked around briefly but did not see Elder Hu accompanying them.
His attention returned to Lady Kang.
The mont her eyes landed on him her expression changed.
A smile appeared on her face instantly.
She imdiately raised her hand.
"Everyone at ease!" her voice spread across the fleet. "This is the person we were looking for!"
The tension imdiately vanished.
The cannons powered down.
The guards relaxed.
The formation arrays dimd.
Lin Mu finally moved again and flew toward the flagship.
A short while later he landed lightly upon the deck.
He stood face to face with Lady Kang once more after years.
She still looked as beautiful as ever.
And sohow…
Even more striking than before.
Lin Mu could not understand how it was possible.
She wore flowing purple robes layered in elegant folds that carried subtle star like patterns upon them. Countless accessories adorned her body.
Bracelets.
Hairpins.
Neck ornants.
Rings.
Chains woven into her braid.
Each one radiated immortal fluctuations.
She was practically covered in immortal tools from head to toe.
Her long hair was partially braided while the remaining locks flowed freely behind her. Several jeweled ornants decorated the braid itself.
Min Ju stood quietly beside her looking equally relieved and mildly annoyed.
Lady Kang looked at Lin Mu for several monts.
Then she finally spoke.
"You are a hard man to track down, Lin Mu."
There was clear frustration hidden beneath her voice.
Lady Kang simply looked at him for another second before turning around.
"Co." She spoke calmly.
Lin Mu followed after her while Min Ju stayed close behind.
Though as they walked through the corridors of the flagship, Lin Mu could constantly feel Min Ju's gaze upon him.
Every ti he looked back, the maid imdiately looked away.
A few seconds later she looked again.
Lin Mu could only give an awkward smile.
He was fairly certain both of them were at least a little upset.
The three entered a private hall inside the flagship. Compared to the outer decks, this place was much quieter. Purple drapes hung along the walls while several spirit lamps illuminated the room with a soft glow. A low table stood in the center already prepared with tea and refreshnts.
Lady Kang took her seat first.
Min Ju stood behind her.
Lin Mu sat opposite them.
The mont he settled down he asked the question that had been on his mind.
"How did you find ?"
Lady Kang picked up her cup calmly.
"Since all attempts to contact you failed, I decided to find you myself."
Lin Mu nodded.
He expected as much.
Lady Kang continued.
"I simply used the Divine Mystic Constellation Art."
Lin Mu raised a brow.
"Specifically…" she said while taking a sip. "Pyxis."
Lin Mu finally understood.
'Of course.'
It all made sense now.
They had never tracked Mantleheim.
They had tracked him.
Pyxis specialized in finding and guiding. Given enough ti it could even locate unknown things, much less soone Lady Kang knew well.
And Lin Mu was certainly not unknown to her.
It was no wonder she managed to find him despite him hiding in one of the most isolated regions of the Immortal Realm.
Before he could say anything though, Lady Kang put down her cup.
Then she began speaking.
Or rather…
Scolding.
"Do you know how many ssages I sent?"
Lin Mu opened his mouth.
She continued.
"Do you know how many worlds we checked?"
Lin Mu closed it again.
"You disappear for years."
Lin Mu tried again.
"I was…"
"No replies."
Lin Mu stopped.
"No updates."
Min Ju nodded behind her.
"No clues."
Min Ju nodded again.
Lin Mu simply sat there.
Lady Kang continued for several more minutes.
The topic shifted from communication to responsibility.
Then to how difficult he was to find.
Then sohow reached the point of how she had personally co here only to discover him casually living among so asteroids for so reason.
Lin Mu did not get a chance to reply even once.
Finally she stopped.
The room beca quiet.
Lin Mu carefully spoke.
"I was probably too isolated here."
Lady Kang sighed.
"I sowhat expected that." She admitted. "Still… to think you ended up in a place this isolated."
Lin Mu smiled faintly.
She looked at him again.
"What exactly are you doing here?"
"And are you alone?"
Lin Mu shook his head.
"There are others with ."
Lady Kang seed interested imdiately.
"Daoist Chu is here." Lin Mu said first. "There are also several new companions."
Lady Kang nodded slowly.
She already knew so things from the Silent Lotus World reports. News had naturally reached the Kang Clan and she had been updated on everything.
Though hearing it directly still interested her.
Lin Mu thought briefly.
"I can bring you there."
