Chapter 1396: The Twins Are Revealed

The arrival at the port was rather noisy as there were simply too many ships arriving. There were easily over two thousand ships of various sizes waiting to find their docking spot.          

    

Lin Mu had seen large ports before but this was his first time seeing so many massive ships all at once. There were large ships that were over eight hundred meters long which was the most common size. The ship that Lin Mu was in right now was a bit smaller than that being about seven hundred meters long.      

But the biggest ship was on an entirely different level. It was over sixteen hundred meters long and looked like a palace floating on the water. It was very luxurious and had gold decorations inlaid with multicolored gems.      

No matter what angle one looked at it from, it only screamed one thing: Rich!      

It wasn't just a display of opulent wealth either as the ship was covered with dense arrays all over. And since it was not being hidden Lin Mu could clearly see all the arrays being employed.      

"Is that an entire habitat array?" Lin Mu quickly recognized.      

And habitat array was a high grade Immortal array that was used to create artificial environments. It was usually used for cultivating special Immortal herbs with unique requirements or even for raising beasts.      

But in the current case it could be said that its use was a bit wasteful. It was being used to make the most comfortable environment for one to live in.      

This might seem normal at first but one must realize something like this would be used by immortals who would be resistant to the elements anyways. And if they wanted to make the temperature more comfortable they could simply use a temperature regulating formation.      

One could compare it to using an Immortal sword as a shear to cut some wool. While it would work perfectly, it was not the best use of a good quality tool like that. As a formation master, one's goal was to optimize the use of an array and not use one which was not the most efficient.     

But it was certain from looking at the large ship that whoever its owner was they didn't care for something like this.      

"It's not just those either… the defensive arrays seem to be able to defend against even sixth Tribulation stage immortal realm attacks." Lin Mu judged.     

The Saintess was standing way behind Lin Mu at the other end of the ship, but she could still hear each of his words clearly.      

"So he's versed in Formations as well… what else is he dabbling in, I wonder?" The Saintess muttered to herself, trying to figure out Lin Mu.     

They had not talked after their initial conversation and the probing had only made the Saintess a lot more cautious.     

But despite that she was still interested in Lin Mu. If anything, the intimidation she had received from Xukong only made her more interested in Lin Mu. After all, one of her goals seemed to be hinting at her already.     

'Could it really be him though? Will someone of his bearing really be willing to contain his being like this?' The Saintess pondered to herself. "No… if it is someone like Lin Mu, it does seem like he would take him under his wing. Especially since Lin Mu has affinity to the space as well."      

After reaching this conclusion the Saintess felt like it all made sense.     

"The only way to confirm is if I continue to watch him. There is no way I can directly confront him after the senior's warning either… so this will be the best choice for me." The Saintess decided.     

With that done, she calmly walked towards Lin Mu without him really noticing him. In fact, the others on the ship barely registered either. Her skills at disguising were simply too good and Lin Mu only sensed her because she let him.     

She continued to watch Lin Mu silently, while he watched the ships around him.     

"Careful! Don't let the barriers collide even once, we've already taken too much damage."      

"Tell them to change our division to the close by one, we don't want to damage the good either."      

The merchants shouted to each other while interacting with the workers on the port. With the literal thousands of ships, it was going to take some time to get there and during this time they needed to actively steer the ship so that there was no collision.     

All the ships were gathered very closely and some were even joining up with others. The people aboard the ships merrily went to other's ships and the others came to theirs, as if they were in a party.     

This was all new to Lin Mu and was valuable experience too.          

    

He could see many cultivators as well of different strengths. The strongest he could see was a Sixth Tribulation realm expert that seemed to be standing high up in the sky.     

It was evident that he was in-charge of the port and was keeping an eye on everything.      

"So many people… so many cultivators and so many different auras…" Lin Mu muttered in marvel.     

~HISS~     

The twin snakes also woke up from all the commotion around them. They had been asleep a while and Lin Mu was a little surprised they had stayed calm all this time too.     

"Don't go running around you two, there are many strong people here. Don't want you getting lost or captured." Lin Mu warned while trying to express his emotions through their link.     

~hiss~ hiss~     

The twins nodded their little heads, understanding Lin Mu's words.      

'They're getting smarter and smarter, this is good. It should be due to their growth too… it seems like they are close to a breakthrough.' Lin Mu thought to guessed.     

~CLASP~      

But then all of a sudden, Lin Mu felt both his hands getting gripped tightly.      

"What's wrong you two?" Lin Mu asked seeing that the twins had tightened their grip around him.      

'Anxious and… fearful?' Lin Mu sensed the emotions coming from the two.     

This was the first time they had expressed the emotion of fear as they were very fearless. Lin Mu even wondered if they knew fear as they were born not long ago.     

But now he wondered just what could it be that was making them act like this.     

~Shiver~     

But their fear only seemed to increase more as they started to shake too.      

"Why…" It was now that Lin Mu heard a voice behind him.      

It was a voice that he was familiar with but this time it was rather emotionless.     

"W-what…" he turned around and saw the veiled woman standing there. 'When did she get there?' Lin Mu couldn't identify.     

He saw the veiled woman staring at him.     

He knew she was STARING at him for sure despite the veil as her gaze was very intense.     

"Why… Do you have… them… with you?" The veiled woman said word by word, making Lin Mu shiver unknowingly too.     

Her voice had no pressure in it, not was it intimidating but the way she said it made Lin Mu feel uneasy.      

'Senior Xukong hasn't acted so doesn't seem like she is offended or anything…' Lin Mu was first concerned about this.         

    

"What are you…?" before Lin Mu could finish his words though the veiled woman gently waved her finger, making a strange symbol in the air.     

~HISS~     

The twins were greatly agitated upon the appearance of the symbol and jumped out of Lin Mu's sleeves.     

"Wait you two!" Lin Mu felt like they were about to rush out, but they stopped right in front of him.     

The twin snakes hovered around the symbol their eyes locked onto it.     

"It really is them… Such luck…" The veiled woman muttered.     

Lin Mu was confused by it and could only watch as the veiled woman observed the snakes with great interest. The twin snakes also seemed to be in a trance as they continued to gaze at the symbol.     

~SHUA~      

A few moments later though, the symbol flickered and morphed into a new shape. It now looked like a Taiji Symbol, but its two parts were seemingly made out of snakes instead.     

Lin Mu suddenly recognized what it was and why the twins had perhaps jumped out.     

"Why are they, like this? How do you know this symbol?" Lin Mu questioned the veiled woman.     

"I never thought a part of my search would be fulfilled like this… The Yin Yang Twin Serpents, they really exist…" The Veiled woman muttered.     

"You know them?" Lin Mu raised a brow.     

"I do indeed… I came here all the way looking for them after all." The Saintess replied before looking up at Lin Mu. "And it seems like you are the key behind this fortune too. There is no way it can be a coincidence either…" she said directly.     

Lin Mu was still confused with all this, but decided to ask.      

"What do you want with me and the twins?"
