Chapter 670 - The Strong Cultivators And Beasts Of The World
Jing Wei and his family had a grudge with the Imperial family and the emperor, along with several of the top sects. Those were the sects that could be directly excluded from the choice of potential allies.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
"Which sects participated in attacking you and your clan before?" Lin Mu questioned.
"The top three sects were mostly neutral, but it was their neutrality that gave the others free rein to act as they wished. But the ones that did not act at all were only two from among the top sects.
These are the Long Cloud sect and the Noon Grass sect." Jing Luo answered.
"Well then. That’s our choice for the allies. We either go for the Long cloud sect and gain help of the entire Long Cloud alliance or go for the solitary Noon Grass sect." Lin Mu decided.
"Alright. Even if the other members of the Long cloud alliance were once involved in hunting us down, we can spare them, since they are under the leadership of the Long Cloud sect.
As for the Noon Grass sect, I don’t really have anything much to say about them. Even back when the Jing clan was at its peak, we didn’t have any transactions with the Noon Grass sect and they hadn’t bought any peak grade spirit tools and weapons from us." Jing Luo explained.
"I see... we can choose who to go to depending on who’s closer, then." Lin Mu spoke.
"Hmm... if we consider the distance then the Long Cloud Sect is the closest to us. It will take about a month or more to reach it though." Jing Luo replied.
Even when the unification of the five continents happened, there were no Immortal Ascension realm beasts that appeared. Though if we go by the common understanding, the majority of beasts of the world don’t even live on land but rather the great ocean.
And going by that logic, it should have the strongest beasts too and thus Immortal Ascension realm beasts." Jing Luo further explained.
Lin Mu thought over his words and found them to be reasonable.
"Hmm... it makes sense that no Immortal Ascension realm beasts appeared back when the unification of the continents happened, since there were simply no beasts as strong as that living on the land.
As for the aquatic beasts that are at the Immortal Ascension realm, they never had a problem with the unification since they lived in the ocean in the first place. Hence having no conflict of interest." Lin Mu said, while nodding his head.
Lin Mu and Jing Wei discussed for a few more hours before finally deciding upon their plan of action.
"I guess this should be fine for now. First, we’ll see if we can inform Wu Hei about our situation by finding an outpost of the Hei corps. Then we need to establish points of contact in multiple regions.
For that, we shall be taking the assistance of the merchants and have some of their cultivator employees stay in those locations full time so we have relay points." Lin Mu spoke.
"I’ll also try to get some high grade communication jade slips ready. We have plenty of materials for it and I should be done in a couple of weeks. Then we can distribute them as needed.
Jingming Shang already took the responsibility of handling the information net for us. This will help us to obtain information as soon as possible when they find traces of Gu Yao." Jing Luo replied.
"Good. Once all that is done, we will head onwards to the Long Cloud sect to propose an alliance.
Hopefully, they are willing to listen to us..." Lin Mu stated.
