Chapter 741 – The Frozen Cloud Sect's Response

While the powers around the Millennium Forest learned about the occurrences there and the Heavenly Tribulation, the Frozen Cloud sect did the same. They were informed of it as well and were surprised by it too.

In the main hall of the Frozen Cloud sect, Patriarch Bing was currently being briefed about it.

"Patriarch, it is confirmed. The Heavenly tribulation indeed happened." An elder spoke.

"Mm… I did know that it was a heavenly tribulation, but still getting visual confirmation is good too." Patriarch Bing replied.

"Indeed patriarch. Though we don't know what kind of a beast would have such a massive Heavenly Tribulation." The elder wondered.

"It was not a single beast… I could tell that the Heavenly Tribulation was not just one, but at least ten." Patriarch Bing stated, surprising everyone.

"WHAT!?"

"How's that possible?"

"Ten Heavenly Tribulations at once is ridiculous!

"Yeah, how can the beasts even survive that? One tribulation will affect the other and increase the might too much. They would simply be blasted to death."

The elders were all shook by it and didn't know how it was possible.

"I said, at least ten. There are likely to be more of them… and seeing as the number of bolts was still high, it is very likely that the beasts or whoever underwent the Heavenly Tribulation are still alive." Patriarch Bing stated.

"This… more than ten beasts reaching the Nascent soul realm at the same time… just what has happened in the Millennium forest?" the elders couldn't help but wonder.

Even if the Millennium forest had been somewhat of an important in the past, even the breakthrough of the Twin Lights Liger King wasn't as shocking as more than ten Heavenly Tribulations at once.

With the size of the Millennium forest, usually a normal heavenly tribulation might not even be visible from the third or second ring. But this time, it had exceeded the limits of any average tribulation.

The entire Millennium forest was covered with the Tribulation clouds, making it very oppressive for the people living nearby.

After a little more discussion, a man appeared in the hall.

"Patriarch Bing, I have something I need to tell you." Wang Xiong spoke.

"Chief Disciple Wang Xiong? What is it?" the elders sitting around asked.

"Tell me." Patriarch Bing replied.

"I guess I can tell this to everyone since it is good news for our sect." Wang Xiong stated.

"Oh? That's great." One of the elders said.

"Indeed. About time we get some good news after the past year or troubles." Another elder agreed.

"Be silent and let the junior speak." This time it was Supreme Elder Weizhe that spoke up.

He had been promoted last year due to the lack of qualified people in the sect. It wasn't just him getting promoted either and other lower level elders had been promoted as well so that the upper positions could be filled.

But this was still not enough and the Frozen Cloud sect still needed a lot more elders to be considered normal for now.

Wang Xiong looked at all the elders that were looking at him with anticipation along with Patriarch Bing.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke.

"Remember the disciples of our sect that were seemingly lost in the Millennium forest?" Wang Xiong asked.

"Yes, how can we forget?" The elders replied.

"Yeah, didn't those two Tian Clan juniors even come to ask us about one of their members who joined the sect?" another elder spoke.

"I think her name was Tian Xiaoge. She had quite an identity being the daughter of the Tian Clan patriarch." A female elder recalled.

Seeing their responses Wang Xiong nodded his head and continued.

"Well… the fifteen disciples who were lost… are returning!" Wang Xiong revealed.

"WHAT!!!!?" This was an even greater shock to the elders.

They had not expected that the string of surprises stemming from the Millennium forest had not ended yet.

A couple of the elders though had intrigued expressions on their face, one of them being none other than Supreme elder Weizhe.

"It wouldn't have anything to do with the unnatural string of events of the Millennium forest, would it junior?" Supreme elder Weizhe inquired.

"It might be, you all will get to see it soon. The fifteen disciples should be here any minute now." Wang Xiong replied.

"If what you are saying is true, then this is indeed some good news. We have lost our numbers and more of our disciples surviving will be a good thing for us." Patriarch Bing stated.

Wang Xiong looked at the faces of all and could tell that they were generally accepting. While the supreme elder expressed a slightly suspicious front, that was his job anyway.

One of the main jobs of a Supreme elder was not only helping and advising the patriarch, but also to contradict them at times, presenting an alternate opinion. Everyone that held a great position of power knew the importance of those that contradiction and critiqued them.

They also knew how dangerous a bunch of Yes-men were as well. They would be a downward slope that could cause great damage to oneself. One wouldn't even know and they would make bad decisions that only sabotaged themselves.

It was better to have a few that were in the opposition against them.

This was also why the position of a supreme elder was so high up in the ranking of a sect and why it was usually given to the other contender of the patriarch position. This way a somewhat natural rivalry would be present and opposition would always be there.

It was similar to how it was important for a political party that ruled the government to have a strong opposition. If they didn't have this, they would often become complacent and won't do their jobs properly.

They would always have the opposition keeping them in check and if they slipped up, the opposition would be able to denigrate them.. Thus they would always be on their toes, keeping up with the public and doing their jobs as well as possible.

Chapter 742 – The Return Of The Fifteen Disciples

Patriarch Bing and the rest of the elders waited for the said disciples to arrive.

They didn't know what to expect and neither did they know why they were only coming now. The last they had seen them, they were barely at the Qi refining realm with some being at the core condensation realm.

Only Pei Jun was at the Nascent soul realm, and him going missing was a loss that the sect did not like. Every disciple that could reach the nascent soul realm was valuable and could become a future elder.

There were very few of them in the sect anyway and would always be in the minority.

If there were ten thousand disciples, perhaps one or two from them would even reach the Nascent soul realm. The rest would forever be stuck in the core condensation realm and the few that managed to reach the pseudo nascent soul realm and trigger the Heavenly Tribulation would simply die.

There were of course a few that managed to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation but aborted it in the middle due to how injured they had gotten. But this would usually damage their foundation and make it so that they needed a lot of resources to correct that path.

These were resources they wouldn't have and the sect wouldn't provide them easily either as they would know about the talent of the disciples already. Using those resources on them could be considered a waste and they would not give them out easily.

Unless there was a very valid reason for them aborting the Heavenly Tribulation the sect would refrain from nurturing them any further. It was these very disciples that would become outer court elders and deacons.

They would also take positions such as guarding or doing designated duties in the many halls and specific buildings of the sect.

"THEY ARE HERE!" Disciples tasked with guarding the hall on the outside announced.

The elders whispered amongst themselves and soon received several messages on their communication jade slips.

The information they all received was the same: the lost disciples had just entered the sect and were being brought to the main hall of the sect.

The elders didn't know why but they were feeling a strange sense of anticipation. Even Supreme Elder Weizhe who had a very calm demeanor seemed to be a bit excited. Though his excitement was only shown through his eyes that were open slightly more.

"THE DISCIPLES HAVE ARRIVED!" The announcement was finally heard as the door of the hall opened.

~CREAK~

The pair of large doors made some sound as the ground trembled slightly. When the doors were finally open, the elders could peek at the disciples standing behind them. There were fifteen of them as they were informed and all looked to be good.

"It really is them…" an elder who had taught the disciples before muttered in surprise.

They had long since considered that these disciples were dead, and didn't even consider investigating more due to the conflicting issues between the three divisions.

The one thing that had come out of the entire war in the sect was that now the divisions had all united.

The Frozen Cliff division was fully eliminated with only some disciples left, while the Frozen Plains division joined up with the Frozen Brook division considering the change in the situation.

Wang Xiong had done well after the massacre to manage the sect and help the distressed disciples, even if they were not from their division. This was exactly why the Frozen Plains division also supported him and was fine with his position as the Chief disciple.

Wang Xiong had proved his abilities well enough for most to not doubt him.

And while he was still a junior compared to most of the elders here, he still had better mentality than most of them. This was the main reason why Patriarch Bing had chosen him as his successor.

And the leadership skills Wang Xiong had shown were rather impressive too for them. At the very least, he qualified to be a leader in the further if not the Patriarch.

~step~ Step~ Step~

Tens of footsteps could be heard all at once as the fifteen disciples entered the hall. They came up to the center before cupping their hands.

"Disciple Pei Jun greets the elders, the supreme elder and Patriarch Bing!" Pei Jin was the first one to greet being the leader.

"Disciple Tian Xiaoge greets the Patriarch, the supreme elder, and all the elders." Xiaoge joined in as well.

One by one, all of the disciples gave their official greetings.

The elders all scanned the disciples from top to bottom and couldn't help but want to know more. Some were a bit brazen and directly used their spirit senses to check the disciples. But when they did this, they didn't know that they were in for a surprise.

'Huh? They can block out spirit sense?' The elders were stunned.

They had not expected such disciples to be able to do this.

But the surprise was momentary as the elders soon realized another factor that was many times more important.

"Wait… if they can block our spirit senses… then doesn't that mean…" a few of the elders realized something but didn't dare confirm it right away.

It was simply far too shocking for this matter to be true and they didn't want to get the patriarch's hopes up either.

"Welcome back, juniors…" Patriarch Bing replied in greeting, his tone mostly flat.

"And now that you all are here, I would like to know what happened to you all? We thought you were all dead?" The patriarch questioned.

"Indeed… if you all were alive and were even able to return to the sect after this entire decade, you should have been able to do so before too right?" Another elder asked.

This was a difficult question, as it bordered on assuming if the disciples had chosen to desert to sect or do a dereliction of their duties that were not done in these years.

"It would be way better for them to demonstrate this to you, elders, Patriarch Bing.." Wang Xiong interrupted them.

Report chapter

Chapter 743 – Thirteen Elders And Three Chief Disciples?

The patriarch and the elders all watched in anticipation. Being hyped up this far was already a bit too much for them, especially since the more astute among them had already sensed something different from the disciples.

They couldn't sense their cultivation bases!

Patriarch Bing narrowed his eyes as well.

'The elders can't probe the disciples, huh… Did they gain something like Wang Xiong did?' Patriarch Bing thought.

He was, after all, the patriarch of a top ten sect. There was no way something so minor could escape his eyes. He was also the master of Wang Xiong officially and had talked with him enough to learn some things.

While Wang Xiong seemed to be under some kind of a 'restriction' that limited the information he could pass on to others, Patriarch Bing could still analyze and derive from that information.

'Additionally that… Inheritance ground, or tomb or whatever… that exists there…' The Patriarch remembered.

~HONG~

And while these thoughts were going through the patriarch's mind, several waves of spirit Qi spread from the disciples.

As soon as they reached the elders, all of them stood up.

"This…" one of the elders was at a loss for words.

"Impossible…" Another one couldn't believe his senses.

"Hoho? Looks like our juniors are no longer so 'junior'." Supreme Elder Weizhe said, as his eyes too opened far more than normal.

"Let us…" Pei Jun took the lead.

"Show all the elders and patriarch…" Tian Xiaoge continued.

"Our decade's worth effort!" The rest of the disciples joined in.

~RUMBLE~

The hall started to tremble faintly as defensive formations were triggered. Runes appeared in the hall, and spread over the walls and floor, reinforcing them and protecting them from the spirit Qi fluctuations.

The spirit Qi fluctuations were strong enough to possibly make several weaker cultivators faint just from being in its presence.

It was the pressure… that came from fifteen nascent soul realm cultivators!

The robes of all the disciples fluttered under the waves of spirit Qi that emanated from their bodies. Pei Jun took the lead in this and his spirit Qi fluctuation were the strongest, being at the Child soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Next came Tian Xiaoge who was at the Infant soul stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but still ahead of the rest of the disciples. The rest of the thirteen were behind her, but among them, there was still one that was in the lead.

Cao Du was the one who had progressed the fastest and also held the most talent amongst the remaining thirteen. He was in the lead of all thirteen who were at about the same level. Only in the future would they learn just how much of a difference there was between them.

Rights now they were at the same starting line, but who knows how long that would last.

Or so… should have been the normal case.

What the disciples didn't know was that since they had come under Lin Wu, there was no way they would be limited by their normal potential. With Lin Wu there, and his 'grace' over them, there would always be ways to progress!

Patriarch Bing kept a calm expression throughout the entire demonstration, and not one bit of surprise was visible on his face. It was as if he was an ice sculpture who would not change whether it be a flood or a blizzard.

It perfectly suited his name, and many even wondered if his parents knew about this beforehand. There were also some rumors that his parents had consulted a great fortune teller before choosing this name.

Whatever it may have been, Patriarch Bing stayed true to his name, and it suited his position perfectly.

"Seems like the sect did not lose out having you all missing for the past eleven years…" Patriarch Bing finally spoke, his voice low.

~flutter~

His robes shook lightly as he stood up. With his position at the head of the hall, he was standing over two meters above the disciples and a cold aura was emitting from him.

"Elders of the Frozen Cloud sect…" Patriarch Bing spoke.

"Yes patriarch!" They all stood in ceremony.

"Hear my announcement… from today onwards, all thirteen disciples excluding Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun will be made into Junior elders." Patriarch Bing declared.

"As you command Patriarch Bing! We have no disagreements." The elders replied.

This was all expected since the disciples had shown their potential. With the current situation of the frozen cloud sect, there was a great lack of elders and the return of these disciples was the same as providing a starving traveler a feast.

While it may not be enough to fully return the Frozen Cloud sect to its previous status, the numbers were still enough to stabilize them better than before.

But despite the order that was given, a few here were still unsure of it. The ones being none other than Wang Xiong, Pei Jun, and Tian Xiaoge. Since Patriarch Bing had excluded the two of them, they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous about what they were to be.

Tian Xiaoge even wondered if the two of them had made a mistake of some kind and were being kept back because of it. Her mind rushed to tens of thoughts, as she couldn't help but come up with all kinds of scenarios.

'Did we take too long to come? Or is it that the Patriarch doesn't like us? No… that can't be. We've done nothing to offend him. Is it perhaps something else?' Tian Xiaoge wondered to herself.

Pei Jun was the same and had such thoughts too, but he was a bit more firm than Tian Xiaoge in his will and was not moved as much as her.

'We have no reason to be worried. After all, like Great Senior said, we are the only ones that can save the Frozen Cloud sect.' Pei Jun thought to himself.

It was now that someone else moved.

"And may I ask what plans does Patriarch Bing have for Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun?"

'The supreme elder?' Wang Xiong was a little surprised. 'He isn't the one to usually act in situations like these. He much more prefers to observe and only speak when spoken to.'

The one who had spoken was none other than Supreme elder Weizhe. All the elders couldn't help but look towards Patriarch Bing for the response.

They too wondered why the two disciples were excluded from the promotion.

Patriarch Bing stayed silent for a few seconds, but his eyes didn't move from the disciples in this time. The ones who were a bit more familiar with him would realize that he was analyzing the disciples at this moment.

It was his style to throw out certain claims and let the other parties go through them. He would pry apart their fine behaviors with just a single glance and make the best decision that he could.

Such was the skill of Patriarch Bing of the Frozen Cloud sect.

"The Disciples Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge are to be directly elevated to the status of Chief disciples!" Patriarch Bing declared.

"WHAT?!" Wang Xiong couldn't help but exclaim.

"This… Patriarch this is not right." One of the high elders spoke.

"Yes… you already have Wang Xiong as the chief disciple." Another elder stated.

"Does… Patriarch Bing want to change the rules of the Frozen Cloud sect?" this time Supreme elder Weizhe spoke up.

"Yes, we cannot just change the rules like this. Will we be giving up on the tradition of the Frozen Cloud sect so easily?" Another elder said, finding it very unorthodox.

"Elders, our sect as you all know, is in a very sensitive situation. We lack half the elders we need to maintain our ranks as well as keep the sect running.

Next year will be the year for recruitment for our sect. If we do not have enough manpower we will not be able to recruit any talented disciples and they will be poached by the other sects." Patriarch Bing spoke, but was interrupted.

"But master, that doesn't explain taking Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge in as chief disciples. Wouldn't it make sense to promote them to elders or even high elders instead?" Wang Xiong was the only person here who had the authority to interrupt the patriarch this way, along with Elder Weizhe.

No one else would dare to interrupt Patriarch Bing like this, as not only would it be against the mode of decorum, but it would also be a gross negligence of rules. Wang Xiong was basically the next patriarch of the Frozen Cloud sect, and Patriarch Bing was his master, so there was no problem in him speaking up at this point either.

"I was about to speak about that." Patriarch Bing said as he glared at Wang Xiong to shut up.

Wang Xiong quickly understood his gesture and apologized, "pardon me, I spoke too soon…"

Patriarch Bing looked back at Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge and continued.

"As I was saying… Tian Xiaoge And Pei Jun will be chief disciples as well as High elders. They will be holding both posts temporarily." Patriarch Bing stated.

"Huh?" all the elders were confused by these decisions.

They would understand if they made the two of them into core disciples as well as high elders. This was something that was already being done with some of the elders that were currently present in the hall. They were just core disciples a year ago.

"Why is this patriarch? I'd understand them being core disciples… but chief disciples?" the elders questioned.

Chapter 744 – Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament

The Patriarch's words were confusing to all and they waited for him to give an appropriate response. Even Supreme Elder Weizhe was ready to oppose the patriarch if he did not give a solid reason for doing so.

"The reason I want them to be chief disciples is because of the Long Continent Grand Sect tournament." Patriarch Bing revealed.

As soon as he said this, a hint of realizing apparel on supreme elder Weizhe. The other elders though were still not fully understanding it.

"The Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament?" Pei Jun said in confusion.

"This was one of the topics of discussion in last year's meeting of the sects. Back then, we were given five spots to compete in, but with the incident last year… we were greatly weakened.

The other sects decided that we didn't have the necessary strength and were threatening to take away our spots, leaving us with only one. With great difficulty, we managed to let them leave us with three spots.

Traditionally these spots would go to the chief disciple and the core disciples. But in our condition, they are still indenting to push with lessening our seats. There is a chance that they might still knock off our seats when we actually get to the tournament." Patriarch Bing explained.

"Wait… if it is still like this, then what is the merit of making us into chief disciples?" Pei Jun asked feeling doubtful.

"It is to prevent them from knocking off our spots." It was elder Weizhe who spoke this time. "There is a set of rules that dictate the eligibility of the candidates as well as how the number of seats is to be assigned. There is a certain clause in this… a clause that dictates that the spot for the chief disciple cannot be removed as long as the sect they belong to is in the top ten." He explained.

Hearing this, Wang Xiong and other elders instantly understood Patriarch Bing's play.

"Isn't this… kinda shameless?" Wang Xiong spoke.

It was a play on the rules of the tournament, but this rested on the fact that the sects only had one chief disciple. After all, if there were more than one in the rank, the meaning of chief didn't really make sense.

"It would indeed be so normally… but in our situation, we have to try everything. Also… it could be a loss of face if the disciples were not up to the mark of a chief disciple. But I reckon since Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge have accomplished the same as what you have, they are deserving of the position." Patriarch Bing elaborated.

The elders could fully tell that this was still shameless but they didn't care. The face of the sect was still at hand and as long as Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge could keep up with Wang Xiong's power level, it would all be fine.

"If it's like this then… guess we'll have to go ahead with it." The elders finally agreed.

Wang Xiong too didn't find any opposition with it, even though he found it strange.

'Though considering the importance of the tournament, it is understandable…' Wang Xiong thought to himself. 'I'll need to inform Senior Lin Wu about it too, he'll definitely want to know more.'

The meeting continued on for another day in which the details of Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge's duties were given. Then the situation of the sect was revealed to the disciples of the sect openly as well as the addition of the thirteen new elders.

It was a piece of earthshaking news for the Frozen Cloud sect. The disciples couldn't believe that overnight they had gained thirteen more Nascent soul realm elders. But when they heard that Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge were promoted to chief disciples in addition to high elders they were absolutely at a loss for words.

At first, they wondered how this was possible since this was against the rules and tradition of the Frozen Cloud sect. But then Patriarch Bing officially announced the amendment of the sect rules.

From this day onwards, the Frozen Cloud sect can have three chief disciples as long as they fulfilled certain conditions set by the patriarch. These conditions were not revealed though as they pertained to the secrets of the sect.

The day was certainly shocking to all the disciples of the sect.

But they didn't know that it was only the beginning of many more that were to come in the future.

Once everything was settled at the sect, Wang Xiong took the earliest opportunity to contact Lin Wu.

Lin Wu had simply been cultivating in this time and was woken up by Wang Xiong's call.

"Senior! I have a piece of big news for you." Wang Xiong almost screamed.

"Calm down, what is it?" Lin Wu asked.

Wang Xiong then went on to explain everything that had happened at the sect as well as the fact that the three of them would be participating in the Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament.

Lin Wu was certainly surprised hearing it all, but the tournament was new information for him.

'The system probably has more info, though since he's already saying it, I may as well ask Wang Xiong.' Lin Wu decided.

"What is this tournament tell me more?" Lin Wu questioned.

"It's the biggest tournament for cultivators on the Long cloud continent. In fact, the Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament is only a part of the entire tournament which is simply the Long Continent Grand Cultivator tournament.

There are three tournaments in it all, pertaining to different levels of the cultivators. The lowest ranked tournament is for those cultivators who are not from any sects. The cultivators from different organizations, clans as well as rogue cultivators will bipartite in this.

Then there is the mid ranked tournament which is for all the disciples of the sects. In this, the normal and average cultivators of the sects will compete. Finally, we have the highest ranked tournament which is only for the chief disciples and top core disciples!" Wang Xiong answered.

Report chapter

Chapter 745 – Holy Ming Sacred Land

Hearing about the tournament from Wang Xiong, Lin Wu was certainly intrigued.

'Them having three separate tournaments is certainly a clever play on their part. This way they can prevent any random dark horses, not from their sects from taking the rewards that were intended for their disciples.

Since the entire tournament was organized by the top sects, there was little the other powers could do. There was still the Long clan above them all, but it didn't really care for it.

And neither did the Ji clan or the Lian clan. All of them had several sects under their control, thus if they truly wanted such rewards they could easily get them without going through the entire thing.

Besides, some of the rarer rewards of the tournament were given by those clans in the first place!

The Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament was still important though as it decided the rankings of the sect which would then decide who gets a say in many resources of the Long Continent.

The lower the rank of a sect, the harder it would be for them to fully claim an area filled with resources. There were often rare treasures and spirit herbs being born and the sects would try to get them.

Depending on the ranks it would be harder or easier for its members to get them as the others would oppose them accordingly.

Though in the end, it was all a matter of prestige.

The Frozen Cloud sect was ranked fifth in the rankings till last year, but after the massacre and loss of half their elders, they were now considered to be the lowest. While the official ranking would only be changed after the tournament most of the sects and other powers were sure that the Frozen Cloud sect was bound to fall.

The massacre had also come at a very bad time for the Frozen Cloud sect as the tournament was right around the corner. It only happened once every fifty years, and the last time it had happened, Wang Xiong had barely reached the core condensation realm.

He had participated in the mid level tournament which was for the normal disciples and had been wiped out after the very first rounds. It was there that he had truly learned just how many powerhouses existed in the cultivation world.

The Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament was in fact one of the motivations for him and had pushed him to gain power at the Millennium forest.

"This is certainly interesting alright." Lin Wu said after hearing everything from Wang Xiong.

"Indeed. If all goes well, and I manage to rank in the top five, I'll get to enter the Holy Ming Sacred Land." Wang Xiong said with excitement.

Lin Wu felt like he had heard about the Holy Ming sacred land before.

"This is the minor plane that is collectively controlled by the sects right?" Lin Wu asked.

"Oh? You know about it too senior. But yes, it is that. It is filled with dense spirit Qi and is said to be the best place to cultivate in the entire long continent. It is filled with a myriad of treasures and it is even said that cultivating there for just a year is the same as cultivating for a century outside." Wang Xiong replied with excitement.

"Is that so…" Lin Wu said as his eyes lightly glowed.

'System, show me all the information you have on the Holy Ming Sacred Land.' Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The Holy Ming Sacred Land is a minor dimension located at a secret location only known to the patriarchs of the top ten sects. It has a high concentration of spirit Qi and is kept closed for most of the time.

Only when it is the time for the tournament will it be opened as a reward. But even then, only the top five winners of the Long Continent Grand Sect Tournament will be allowed to enter it.

The time limit to stay there is one year and after that, the disciples would be automatically ejected by the formation arrays.

This is done so as to allow the Holy Ming Sacred Land to regenerate all the spirit Qi that it has lost.

Additional records state that the Holy Ming Sacred Land is was actually created by the Invaders as a means to rear rare spirit herbs. But was later taken over by the sects and is now jointly controlled.

It has a record of nurturing future patriarchs. It is said that the ones who enter it will have a 50% chance of becoming a patriarch of a top sect in the future. Even Patriarch Bing of the Frozen Cloud sect had entered the Holy Ming Sacred Land in the past.

——

Seeing the system's information, Lin Wu was certainly impressed. He even wondered if he should enter it himself.

"Is there any way we can enter it too, system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: It is certainly possible for the host to enter the Holy Ming Sacred Land. But the minor plane is under the control of the sects and is constantly under surveillance. The host might be able to enter it with no problem, but the sects will inevitably discover them.

What happens after that only has negative results according to the system's analysis.

——

"Oh yeah… that won't be nice…" Lin Wu put away his thoughts of entering it.

"Still, as long as Wang Xiong can enter it, that will be good." Lin Wu muttered.

~DING~

——

SUGGESTION: according to the host's plan of nurturing subordinates and establishing power, the System suggests that the host support Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge in entering it too.

According to the already records, there have been many disciples who managed to reach the Dao Shell realm by the time they came out of the Holy Ming Sacred land. All those that entered were at the Nascent Soul realm.

And since all three of them have the help of good cultivation techniques, this result will be inevitable.

——

"System, you just spoke my mind!" Lin Wu said with a wide smile.

Report chapter

Chapter 746 – Willingness Of The Frozen Cloud Sect Disciples

Several Days had passed since Wang Xiong told Lin Wu about the Tournament.

Lin Wu had began supporting Pei Jun and Tian Xiaoge in this time according to the suggestion of the system. Of course, this support was mostly in the form of some resources. These were given on top of the resources those two were getting from the Frozen Cloud sect with their new rank of chief disciples.

It was especially even better since the number of people in the sect had effectively been halved while most of the resources had stayed the same, or even increased in certain aspects with respect to the Guna Mines.

With this multi-sided approach, Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun were basically being 'force fed' and their cultivation base was being propelled. There was no issue of an unstable foundation either, due to the cultivation technique the two of them had comprehended.

Another thing Lin Wu noticed was that the thirteen disciples who had inherited the Sky Bright Daoist's technique, the 'Sky Bright Harmony' seemed to be progressing rather fast. If one disregarded the extra resources Wang Xiong, Tian Xiaoge and Pei Jun got, it would actually exceed their speed.

On some other aspects, it seemed even stronger than the one that Wang Xiong and the other two had, the Taiji Refinement scripture. This confused Lin Wu, and he asked the system to analyze why this issue was there considering that the Taiji Refinement Scripture was sourced from the Taiji Duan Unity scripture and the technique of the Sky Bright Daoist was an entirely different technique he had made.

The answer that Lin Wu got was something he had missed in his very question.

The Taiji Refinement Scripture was merely an inferior 'derivation' of the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture. Meanwhile, the technique of the Sky Bright Daoist that the thirteen disciples practiced was a 'complete' inheritance.

While it was still a personal comprehension that the Sky Bright Daoist had made after learning from the Taiji Dual unity scripture, its 'completeness' was what made it superior.

But this was just a temporary thing as the three of them could still progress and obtain the intermediate level inheritance of the Taiji Celestial and go even beyond that reaching the same level of inheritance that Lin Wu had and learn the Taiji Dual unity Scripture.

Regardless of it all, Lin Wu understood that it was only a good thing and it would help him in the long term. He looked forward to their progress in the future and wondered just what achievements they would be able to net him.

Lin Wu also got the system to do an analysis of the 'Sky Bright Harmony' cultivation technique.

The technique was different from the Taiji Dual unity Scripture in that it fully encompassed the Light element while adding other intricacies that would only be understood when one further cultivated it.

Lin Wu wondered if he could cultivate it to gain the light affinity as well, but the system's response was negative.

It was basically the same as trying to install an obsolete software from a different operating system into a computer that already had the latest version. There were multiple conflicts that made it impossible to cultivate.

Though Lin Wu also got the response from a system that the Taiji Dual Unity Scripture would allow him to gain the Light Affinity in the future on his own too. Along with the darkness affinity.

Lin Wu knew that because he had the full inheritance, it was actually harder to progress. In fact, he hadn't even covered half of the first level of the technique!

There was a huge qualitative difference between the different levels of inheritances and there was little he could do to cover for that other than diligently cultivating. Even the system couldn't help him more in this aspect as it was entirely depended on Lin Wu to comprehend it.

In addition to all this support Lin Wu provided to his subordinates, he didn't forget to initiate the plan for the alliance.

"How is the plan going?" Lin Wu contacted Wang Xiong.

"I've already told Patriarch Bing about it, senior. He hasn't given a concrete response yet as he seems to have some suspicions about the millennium forest and the shrine. But the accounts from Tian Xiaoge, Pei Jun and the others seemed to have alleviated that to some extent.

Additionally, we let the information out that the new elders only progressed faster due to the inheritance they got in the Millennium forest. We also told them that the inheritance was actually open to more people as long as they were willing to go through some trials." Wang Xiong answered.

"Oh? And are they willing?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Of course they are! In fact, they are itching to go there. But with the sect's condition, most of the missions had been halted and the disciples were restricted from going out. The elders feared that the disciples might be targets outside and picked off one by one by the other powers so as to weaken us even more." Wang Xiong explained.

"Hmm… get Yun Bai to convince the patriarch. Tell him that the security of the disciples will be guaranteed in the forest. He'll know how to tell the patriarch." Lin Wu directed.

"As you command Senior." Wang Xiong replied.

With that done, Lin Wu stopped the link and let out a breath.

"So many things to do, so little time…" Lin Wu muttered.

He looked at the many monitoring screens floating around him lazily and scrolled through them. Other than cultivating, he only had this pass time that he could do without impacting his cultivating speed.

Lin Wu had seen a clear reduction in the number of humans coming to the forest in the recent days as well.

'Seems like the recent happenings have scared the humans too… though it is understandable.' Lin Wu thought.

"Still… it makes me wonder what the other powers will do now? What approach will they be willing to take?" Lin Wu wondered to himself.

Report chapter

Chapter 747 – A Coalition Of The Neighboring Powers

Another month passed while Lin Wu stayed at the tomb.

In this time, he saw a few humans entering the Millennium forest again. This time though, the humans were not normal. They were far stronger than the average cultivators that entered the forest.

They were at the Nascent soul realm and had clearly been sent by the kingdoms around the millennium forest, namely the Ling Kingdom, the Pale Marble Kingdom and The Luguo Kingdom. These were the three kingdoms that surrounded the Millennium forest.

Along with them, there were also other sects that were located in the kingdom's territories too, but they were all small compared to the Frost Cloud sect.

These cultivators didn't come at the same time and were clearly from different powers. They came at different times and there was no coordination between them. Hesitation was obvious in their actions, as they were treading carefully in the forest.

Most didn't even go past the second ring, feeling uncomfortable even there.

The couple that were braver went up to the border of the third ring, almost into the fourth ring, but didn't go past that feeling, an oppressive presence beyond that.

They kept on coming every few days, trying to learn about the situation of the millennium forest.

Lin Wu didn't care much about them either, as long as they didn't cause any problems and let them do as they wanted.

That was until today, when Lin Wu saw something different.

"Oh? Did they have a new agreement or something?" Lin Wu said as he saw a large entourage of cultivators entering the forest.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: Twelve Nascent soul realm cultivators detected

CURRENT LOCATION: Second ring of the millennium forest.

——

The system quickly informed.

Lin Wu checked the map and saw that the group was moving rather fast this time. Till a few days back, they were very hesitant to enter the inner rings, and approached carefully, but now it was like they were speeding in.

Lin Wu saw the robes they were wearing and could tell that they were from the difference powers around the forest.

"The Ling Kingdom seems to be in the lead this time, huh… they probably had a meeting with the other powers and decided this excursion." Lin Wu guessed.

He looked at the cultivators wearing the robes of the Ling Kingdom and actually recognized them.

"Oh? Weren't those three in the royal court of the Ling kingdom back then?" Lin Wu identified.

Lin Wu recalled that he had seen them in the court when he was still with Shirong. One of them was a minister while the others were elders with high authority. It was unusual for them to leave the capital like this, as they were powerhouses that kept the kingdom and the king safe.

'If the King sent them on this mission, it's obvious my attempt at fishing them worked…' Lin Wu thought to himself as a smile appeared on his face.

He looked at the other nascent soul realm cultivators but didn't recognize them. Still, their robes were enough to give away their identities. In total, there were two nascent soul realm cultivators from the Pale Marble kingdom and two more from the Luguo kingdom.

The rest of the five nascent soul realm cultivators were from the smaller sects around the millennium forest. Each sect seemed to have sent one cultivator to represent them. This 'coalition' was the expedition team they had come up with.

Lin Wu couldn't help but praise it a bit. As far as he knew, the three kingdoms did have an alliance but were still a bit against each other. The alliance was merely a facade for peace but in reality, if it were not for the Millennium forest existing between them, the three kingdoms might have ended up fighting.

Small skirmishes had happened in the past, but the peace was mostly there now.

The sects were located within the three kingdoms as well, with them having independent territories where they could control as they wanted. This was the agreement between sects and kingdoms all over the Long continent.

When the nascent soul realm cultivators finally reached the third ring, Lin Wu decided to act.

"Time to send my own 'team' to meet up with them. Heheh~" Lin Wu chuckled.

He quickly sent command to his subordinates, and they responded almost instantly.

With that little command, the entire millennium forest started to liven up, unbeknowst to the twelve nascent soul realm cultivators.

After some time, at the border of the third ring…

"Elders, are we sure we want to continue? I can't help but feel an ominous feeling." One of the nascent soul realm cultivators from a sect asked.

"We've already tested the areas the past month, so far we haven't had any bad encounter. The beasts also seem to be a lot 'calmer' than before." One of the nascent soul realm cultivators from the Luguo kingdom replied.

"The elder of the Luguo kingdom is correct. We cannot just keep on doing half hearted excursions. If something is truly wrong with the millennium forest, we need to know it. This is after all our 'backyard'." An elder from the Pale Marble kingdom agreed.

"There is an old saying, a hidden snake in one's backyard is more dangerous than a lion on the front door. Even if the beasts are calmer, we need to know the reason for it. The heavenly tribulations that happened simultaneously aren't something we can take lightly after all." The nascent soul realm minister of the Ling Kingdom stated.

The other nascent soul realm cultivators couldn't help but nod upon hearing his words, finding them very wise.

"Very well, we shall continue." They others said and flew ahead.

The third ring was crossed, and they entered the fourth ring. And as soon as they went a certain distance in it, they felt the difference.

"This… what is this spirit Qi?!" The elders were all stunned.

"Such dense spirit Qi? Has a treasure appeared in the forest?" one of the elders wondered.

Report chapter

Chapter 748 – Pink Bottom Pear Orchard

The fifteen nascent soul realm elders were certainly not expecting such a change to happen in the Millennium forest.

The humans powers living around the millennium forest did know that the forest had some sources of spirit Qi in it. But due to the threat of the beasts, they never deemed it worth to enter the innermost area.

It was after all, known that the sixth ring where the rulers of the forest lived was the source of the spirit Qi. The few that had visited it had said that while it was better than the normal spirit Qi density of air, with the threat of the beasts and the harsh condition, it was not worth heading there.

Besides, the millennium forest brought them more resources in other forms such as beast materials and spirit herbs. So destroying the forest for the spirit Qi rich area wasn't much of a viable option anyway.

But now… now they were blown away.

"This spirit Qi… this is on the level of our sect's seclusion grounds for the core disciples?" One of the nascent soul realm elders belonging to a sect stated.

All of them could feel their meridian surging with spirit Qi.

"This speed… its over four times than normal for me!" The nascent soul realm elder from the Luguo kingdom said, feeling amazed.

The fifteen nascent soul realm cultivators all frantically looked around, wondering if there really was a natural treasure nearby. The fully expected that the high concentration of spirit Qi was caused due to some natural treasure and not just an overall increase in the forest.

To them, the latter was absurd, and there was no chance it would happen.

Fifteen sets of spirit senses spread around the area, speedily searching for anything that was rich in spirit Qi.

"THERE!" one of the sect's elders shouted. "A Pink Bottom Pear!"

All the nascent soul realm elders looked towards the area he was pointing at and rushed there.

Lo-and-behold, there it was… A Pink Bottom Pear.

Just as its name suggested, the Pink Bottom Pear was a spirit fruit that had its lower half colored pink, while its top was a ripe yellow. It was a high grade spirit fruit that could help even nascent soul realm experts.

While it was weaker than the pills at the same level, the best thing about it was that it could be consumed as it is without needing to refine it. Compared to the time and effort spent in refining a pill of equivalent level, a spirit fruit like this was rather good.

Another plus point to it would be the lack of pill toxins as well.

"It really is a Pink Bottom Pear." The nascent soul realm elders confirmed.

But they were in for a surprise.

"NO WAY!" The nascent soul realm elder from the Pale Marble Kingdom exclaimed. "There are more trees!"

That man forgot about his companions and flew in the direction.

"I'll keep it for now. We'll decide later on how to divide it." The nascent soul realm minister of the Ling Kingdom stated.

Since he was somewhat of a leader here, it was fine with the other nascent soul realm elders. To them, if there was a chance of more resources, it was worth putting the fruit at hand at side.

The fourteen nascent soul realm elders flew in the direction where the nascent soul realm elder from the Pale Marble kingdom had gone and saw something that left their jaws wide open.

"HEAVENS!"

"ANCESTOR'S WHISKERS!"

They were left utterly stunned at what could only be described as an entire orchard of Pink Bottom Pears. It was as if the one lone Pink Bottom Pear they had seen before was just a random tree that had barely managed to grow out of the orchard.

Here the Pink Bottom Pear trees were tall and robust. There were tens of ripe Pink Bottom Pears hanging on their branches while there were even more of the fruits that were still unripe.

They looked at the rows upon rows of trees and couldn't even imagine how they grew here.

"How many are there, even?" One of the nascent soul realm sect elders wondered.

"Ninety six… ninety nine… hundred and eight… THERE ARE HUNDRED AND EIGHT TREES!" Someone counted.

"How is this even possible…?" the elders were left stunned.

A few elders looked at their hands and counted on their fingers before feeling woozy.

"This… just these trees alone are worth twice the assets my entire Lily sect has…" one of the nascent soul realm elders said, finding it absurd.

He was from a lower mid level sect that was located near the territory of the Luguo kingdom named the Lily sect. They specialized in growing spirit herbs and spirit fruits, mainly and supplied to the nearby powers.

The estimation of the nascent soul realm elders of the Lily sect was the most authentic appraisal that the others could agree with.

"We shall divide this all equally!" One of the nascent soul realm elder said hurriedly.

"Yes! Yes! We have to do it that way!" The others agreed.

But just as one of the elders was about to lay his hand on a Pink Bottom Pear hanging from the tree, the minister of the Ling kingdom shouted.

"HALT!"

The elders stopped in response and looked towards the minister.

"What's the problem, minister?" The nascent soul realm elder from the Lily sect asked.

A few others though, had different thoughts popping up in their heads.

"Don't tell me the Ling Kingdom want's to get a bigger share?" One of the sect elders asked.

The representatives from the Luguo Kingdom and Pale Marble Kingdom too shared a similar expression and looked at the minister.

"That's not it…" The nascent soul realm minister of the Ling Kingdom said.

~gulp~

The other two nascent soul realm elders beside him swallowed their saliva, feeling pressured from the looks of everyone around them.

If they decided to attack together, there was no way they would be able to survive here.

Report chapter

Chapter 749 – The Greedy Elders

The nascent soul realm minister of the Ling Kingdom weighed his words properly in his mind before speaking, for he knew that the current situation was very sensitive. The cooperative agreement they had made before coming here could very easily be shattered by the massive amount of resources in front of them.

The Pink Bottom Pears were worth the assets of an entire sect after all!

It was not a small amount at all. And if any one power got to monopolize it, they could essentially double their strengths. Of any of the three kingdoms got it, they would definitely raise their power before attacking the others.

It would only need the fall of one kingdom, for the rest to become helpless.

The sects were not in the same condition though, as even though they had almost the same level of power or even greater than the kingdoms, the treatises set by the top ten sects and the top three clans was something that could not be broken easily.

If they did, and it was found out, they may very well be exterminated.

It was that treaties that allowed the kingdoms to be free and operate independently without the oppression of the cultivation sects. And it was also the same treaty that also allowed sects to exist within the borders of kingdoms as independent powers.

This would allow the sects to recruit the disciples from the kingdoms' population as they wanted without any interference from the kingdoms' side.

Since it worked for both parties, no power under it would tolerate the treaty being broken. After all, if it went unpunished, someone else would try it again. And who knows if it would be them who would be targeted next and eliminated.

It could very well break out into a great war, and that was not something they wanted.

After the rise of the three guardian clans, no such great war had ever happened. Only small battles between kingdoms were allowed, and even then the three guardian clans had the authority backed by their power to stop it if need be.

Therefore, the Ming Dao world was relatively peaceful from larger level conflicts.

The other nascent soul realm elders all gazed at the minister of the Ling Kingdom, ready to act at any moment. Spirit Qi was already circulating within their meridians, their techniques could be executed at any second.

"You all need to see the bigger picture. All these Pink Bottom Pear trees… don't you find it strange?" The Minister of the Ling Kingdom asked.

"Strange? How?" someone questioned.

"Has the greed for the spirit fruits clouded your thinking that much?" The Minister was a bit surprised. "Don't you see? All these trees are growing in an order… this is an 'orchard'." The minister stated.

Hearing this, the greed-clogged cogs in the minds of other elders started to move again.

"There is no way these trees grew like this naturally… especially not with such a high yield. This is a spirit fruit orchard being nurtured by someone." The Minister explained.

As soon as the elders heard this, alarm bells started to ring in their heads.

'Fuck! We forgot whose territory we were in!' the elders realized.

To the humans living around the millennium forest, the owner of the entire forest was none other than the Twin Lights Liger King. There was no way, such a large amount of spirit fruits would be left alone by beasts.

"But then, who made this orchard? Did some expert make the forest his personal garden?" one of the sect elders asked.

To them, it was the only option. They didn't even think that the beasts could do this, thus a human doing it was the only choice.

"I can't tell… but they must be very strong if they can make an orchard like this in the middle of the forest and no beast is around here to eat the fruits. To any beast, this would be a great temptation, no matter how strong." The minister of the Ling Kingdom said after thinking a bit.

~clap~ clap~ clap~

And just as the minister said this, the sound of clapping could be heard.

"Huh?" all the nascent soul realm were surprised by it and looked at each other, wondering who was clapping.

"WHO!?" But seeing that they were not doing it, they understood the sound was coming from some place else.

"THERE!" One of the nascent soul realm elder picked up someone in the range of his spirit sense.

"Good, good, good." Some praise was heard coming from the person, but there was certainly a hint of mockery in it.

"Seems like Minister Ting of The Ling Kingdom is certainly wise. I'm thankful that the king chose you to lead this expedition." The person spoke.

"Who are you?" The minister questioned.

All of the nascent soul realm were confused upon the appearance of this person as they had not felt his presence at all. The person was strange looking too. He was dressed in loose robes and had a rather tall and well built figure.

There was also a hat on his head that hid his face and most of his head as well.

"A monk?" Someone guessed seeing the hat.

The kind of hat the person wore was something mostly monks wore when they were travailing.

"I certainly am a monk." The person said and slowly lifted his hat.

"WHAT!?" but seeing his furry face, the elders were all stunned.

"A beast?" The one in front of them was none other than the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape.

"I am a beast indeed." The beast confirmed.

The eyes of the elders narrowed as they tried sensing his cultivation base but were unable to.

"Oh sorry! It was rude of me to restrain this." The beast said as he let his spirit Qi fluctuations spread freely.

~shua~

'Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm?' The elders assessed.

"Is this orchard yours?" The minister questioned.

"It is indeed under my jurisdiction.." The beast answered.

Chapter 750 – Arrogance And Stupidity

Upon hearing the words of the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape, smiles appeared on the faces of the sect elders.

"Run away now beast, and forfeit this orchard, and we'll let you live!" they said, much to the beast's expectations.

The beast looked at the faces of the humans one by one. He saw that the nascent soul realm elders that belonged to the sects seemed to be the most excited about their prospects, while those from the Luguo kingdom and the pale marble kingdom were a little less so.

In the case of the Ling Kingdom though, the beast could see some hesitation. At least on the face of the minister. The other two elders were similar to the other sect elders.

"Just like master said…" The ape beast muttered.

The nascent soul realm elders heard his words but didn't mind it, other than the minister, whose expression fluctuated a bit.

"Let me ask you all this… Do you not know what this forest is and whose territory you are standing in?" The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape questioned.

"That doesn't matter to us. What matters now is that this is what you have and what we will take in compensation for not killing you." One of the elders from the sects stated rather arrogantly.

~Sigh~

The ape beast shook his head.

"And here I thought the elders of the human race would have better wisdom than this. The children before, they were far better than you all…" The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape replied.

"Silence! We will not offer you any more chances. Leave now!" The sects' elders yelled.

"Hang on! Perhaps we can do something else!" The minister of the Ling Kingdom hurriedly spoke.

His actions were surprising for all others, even those that had come with him.

"What's the issue Minister Ting?" One of the elders of the Pale Marble Kingdom questioned.

"Don't tell me you are scared of this one beast, minister Ting?" The sect elder who had arrogantly threatened the ape beast before spoke.

"Yeah, he's merely at the Child Soul Stage of the Nascent Soul realm." Another elder chimed in.

"DAMMIT! Have you all lost your minds!" Minister Ting couldn't keep his calm anymore.

'Can none of them sense the calmness of this beast? I'm having really bad feeling.' Minister Ting thought.

The elders were certainly taken aback by the sudden outburst of Minister Ting and wanted to say something but were interrupted. The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape though raised a brow in surprise seeing the minister's sudden action.

"His words… Can you all not read between the lines? He never stated that he was the owner of this orchard, but merely taking care of it." Minister Ting stated for them.

The nascent soul realm elders were finally coming on track, but were still a bit lacking.

"Do you mean to say that the Twin Lights Liger King is the owner? Even if he is, that won't matter, Minister Ting." The elder from the Pale Marble Kingdom spoke.

"Yeah, we just need to kill this beast. I doubt even the Twin Lights Liger King will even know in that time." The elder from the Lily sect spoke.

"Once we're gone from here, none will be the wiser." Another elder joined in.

~Shua~

But just as they said those words, all the elders felt a faint pressure on them.

"Is that so?" A new voice suddenly spoke.

~WHOOSH~

"WHO?!" The elders were surprised.

Deep down, they knew that the Twin Lights Liger King was a threat that they wouldn't be able to go against, but they also knew that the different rulers wouldn't go in the other's territory.

Doing so was just provoking conflict thus, what happened in one ruler's territory was usually isolated. This was of course, only if the said ruler didn't ask for help. But the elders would never think of a beast doing that.

Not from another beast that was at the same rank as a ruler. In fact, they reckoned that the beasts would let one ruler die and take over their territory later.

If it were not for the greed clouding their judgment right now, the elders would realize the flaws in their thoughts. Perhaps only Minister Ting was thinking logically right now. He may have been swayed by greed at the start, but his instincts were screaming at him now.

They told him to run and never look back.

"The humans have certainly gotten arrogant. I never expected this from the Luguo kingdom, seeing as we had some genial exchanges in the past." The Slim Arm Ape King who had just appeared spoke.

His tall body stared from the sky, and disappointment was apparent on his face.

"The Slim Arm Ape King?" The elder from the Luguo kingdom muttered.

The Slim Arm Ape King used to have interactions with humans in the past and even exchanged some goods with them. But after the arrival of Lin Wu, all such exchanges had been stopped by him.

It was simply because they were no longer necessary. All that the Slim Arm Ape king exchange for was some pills that he couldn't get and a few miscellaneous goods that he liked.

These were things that he was used to since his life as a tamed beast in the past and was used to them. One such thing being wine that he had tasted in the past and needed humans to get it from.

"Another beast! It will be difficult to get the fruits. Look what you did, minster Ting! You wasted our time." The arrogant elder scorned.

"Still so arrogant?" The Slim Arm Ape King was honestly lost at their attitude.

"Why are you here, Slim Arm Ape King? Is this other ape beast your kin? If so be wise and go away. You do not want a conflict with us." The elder from the Luguo kingdom spoke.

"Yeah, on account of our kingdom having some exchanges with you, we will let this pass." The second elder from the Luguo kingdom added.

"IMBECILES!" A thunderous voice yelled as an oppressive presence suddenly appeared.
