Chapter 2054  A Commission From Lady Kang

Lin Mu didn't reply to Lady Kang's right away. Instead, he kept silent for a minute. Lady Kang also didn't seem to be in a hurry and let him process it all. Lin Mu processed the pros and cons of conversing further with her and also about confirming her theory. 'If she was interested in my Spatial skills and came all the way here searching for them, she definitely wants something from me.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He organized all the thoughts in his mind, before finally opening his mouth.

"You are correct." Lin Mu confirmed directly.

"That makes it easier." Lady Kang said, slight relief appearing on her face. "You probably figured out that I want something from you, didn't you?" she asked.

"I did. It is better that we just place all the things out in the open." Lin Mu replied. "We are to head into an expedition for quite some time and it is best we have no apprehensions or conflict about each other." He stated, calmly.

"Very well. I am of the same mind." Lady Kang responded. "And don't worry, what I want to ask of you is of benefit to you too." She added.

"So what is it?" Lin Mu asked, feeling curious about the exact request.

"I have a commission for you. It is something only a true Spatial master can do…" The woman said, raising Lin Mu's curiosity. "I wish for you to find something for me… In the Void." She revealed.

"In the void?" Lin Mu hadn't expected a request like this at all. 'I thought she would ask me to make a spatial storage tool, or maybe fix a spatial array… but this…' he was astounded.

"Yes, I want you to find an item in the void." Lady Kang confirmed.

"You do know, that's not a simple thing right?" Lin Mu said with slight apprehension. "The void isn't exactly a small place… it is infinite." "Of course I do. I also know it is not something that can absolutely be done." Lady Kang responded. "But I know it can be done, when certain conditions are met." She added.

"Let's say I do accept it, but I'd at least need to know what I'm searching for and what part of the void is it supposed to be." Lin Mu replied. "It is only possible for me to search the Minor Void, the Lesser Void and to some extent the Great Void." He stated his limitation right away.

"Of course, I have all that sorted out beforehand. And don't worry, I won't do something as unreasonable as searching the Greater Void or the Grand Void." Lady Kang assuaged Lin Mu's concerns. "The item I am looking for is somewhere in the Lesser Void or the Great Void." She spoke.

"You don't know exactly?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows. "The item I'm asking you to look for was actually a Spatial Storage tool and it was lost in the Void during teleportation." Lady Kang revealed.

"Hmm, so that's why you said it could be either in the Lesser Void or the Great Void." Lin Mu somewhat understood now. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

"Yes. If the Spatial Storage tool managed to stay intact during the teleportation, it is probably in the Great Void." Lady Kang replied.

"And if it broke, its contents were dispersed into the Lesser Void." Lin Mu added.

"Indeed." Lady Kang replied. "What I want is actually a specific item from that spatial storage tool, but if you can get the entire ring, you can feel free to keep the rest of the items in it." She stated.

'If it's a Spatial Storage tool, at least tracking it down will be a bit easier.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Though I'd need an approximate location of where it was lost.' He reckoned.

"So what item is it exactly?" Lin Mu questioned.

"A seal. My clan's seal, to be accurate." Lady Kang answered, surprising Lin Mu a bit.

"Your clan lost your seal?" Lin Mu knew that was a major mishap.

A Clan seal was basically the symbol of authority and was usually held by the Patriarch of a clan. Losing it could not only put the clan in jeopardy but also lead to a great loss of face. "It wasn't mistakenly lost." Lady Kang shook her head. "It was lost in a battle." She revealed.

"Hmm… tell me more." Lin Mu asked, hoping that she would. "The Seal was lost by the Patriarch of the Kang clan four generations ago. Our clan was involved in a conflict with several other powers back then, and the patriarch was ambushed. Being surrounded, he chose to use a long distance teleportation talisman to escape, but before he could, a Great Severance curse was cast on him.

He managed to block the curse from hitting his vitals, but it attached to his arm. During the teleportation, the curse activated and severed his arm, which was lost in the teleportation channel." Lady Kang explained.

"And the Spatial Storage ring was on that arm…" Lin Mu put it together. "Yes." Lady Kang affirmed.

"But if the seal was lost four generations ago, that was tens of thousands of years ago, right?" Lin Mu questioned, feeling some doubts. "I don't think a seal lost that long ago should be a cause for concern now. With a clan as great as yours, you should have managed to forge a new seal by now." He expressed his doubts.

"You are correct. The seal was lost nearly fifty thousand years ago, and our clan has a new seal now." Lady Kang agreed. "But the seal that was lost wasn't just the symbol of the clan, it was much more special than that. It also held the power of authority over the entire formation spirit of the clan." "Wait… you don't mean to say…" Lin Mu's eyes went wide.

"Yes. The Clan's formation spirit has been dormant since then. While it can work autonomously, we cannot command it anymore. The clan has tried for years, but we still cannot gain control over it." Lady Kang revealed.
