Chapter 1057: A Meeting Of Kings
By now most of the powers of the Long Continent knew of Lin Wu’s appearance as almost all of them had sent envoys to meet him.
Even for those that had not seem him personally, the verbal accounts as well as sketches made by the others were more than enough to contain his appearance within. They all knew of the colossal beast that was Lin Wu.
The only Beast King that had obtained the approval of all the great clans.
Thus when the King of the Wide Crag Kingdom saw the massive figure, he knew something had gone wrong.
“Hello there,” Lin Wu spoke in his signature distorted voice.
The voice held no emotions, and yet all those that heard it felt a chill go through their hearts. The chill from it was stronger than the snowy winds around them.
For about ten seconds, absolute silence had descended in the area as no one dared to move. All those that had come to rescue the child had seen their king stand there silently too, knowing that he was thinking something.
What they couldn’t see from the back was the King’s reaction. He had great shock on his face, and was actually stunned.
After about half a minute though, he gathered his wits and his expression quickly became composed.
“What are you gawking about!? Kneel and greet the King of the beasts! The King of the Millennium Forest Kingdom! The Bane of Calamity! Lin Wu!” The King of the Wide Crag Kingdom said out loud.
He then quickly cupped his hands and bowed his head in official greeting.
~THUD~THUD~THUD~THUD
In the next second, all those that had prepare fell to their knees.
“We pay our deepest respects to King Lin Wu!” They shouted out loud while bowing their heads.
The child who was being hung from Tim’s claws was also stunned now. He had been in utter fear for a while and had called for his family to save him. But now that they had acted like this, he didn’t know what to think about it.
After all, he was barely just twelve years old and even if he was a cultivator, he still had the tendencies of a child.
“Ah, so you are the King of the Wide Crag Kingdom?” Lin Wu spoke.
“Yes. King Lin Wu. I am Yun Guiren, the King of the Wide Crag Kingdom.” The man introduced himself.
Yum Guiren was dressed in thick robes similar to others, but his were clearly of a higher quality and meant for a king. The robes were a mix of Indigo blue and white and had the crest of the Wide Crag Kingdom on it.
But other than that, the man wasn’t wearing a crown or any other kind of head jewelry which seemed a bit strange. Though he did have what looked like several bone and stone necklaces around his neck.
Lin Mu took noticed of all this, wondering why that might be.
“Is this your Grandson?” Lin Wu questioned after a few moments.
“Y-yes!” Yun Guiren replied. “I ask for your forgiveness if he has offended you in any manner.” He hurriedly spoke.
“We’ll punish him throughly, King Lin Wu. If only you could release him.” Another man who had similar facial features to the King spoke.
“Ahahah!” Hearing this, Lin Wu couldn’t help but laugh. “The child has done nothing.” He said, making them a bit relieved.
“Let them all down, Tim.” Lin Wu ordered.
Tim lowered his claws and dropped the children on the ice.
The kids were still surprised by the fact that they were completely fine and that the beasts had not done anything. It couldn’t be helped that they didn’t recognize who Tim or Lin Wu was after all. It was normal to be scared of large beasts that had suddenly appeared.
“Thank you, King Lin Wu!” King Yun Guiren cupped his hands in gratitude again.
“Thank you for your graciousness, King Lin Wu!” The others also said in unison.
Lin Wu noticed that the man that looked similar to Yun Guiren was the one leading the rest in greeting him.
‘He’s definitely related to the king. His son perhaps?’ Lin Wu guessed.
Looking around in the group, Lin Wu founds a couple more men that looked similar to the king.
‘So the kid really did call for his family members. They all came too…’ Lin Wu understood.
“May I ask, to what do we owe this pleasure to?” King Yun Guiren questioned, framing his words carefully.
He had not forgotten that their request from the past had been rejected and thus there was no telling what Lin Wu’s attitude about it was going to be like. Plus his unannounced visit to his kingdom was certainly surprising.
“I just happened to be passing by, and decided to pay a visit.” Lin Wu replied. “Why? Am I not welcome?” he asked, scaring them all.
“Of course not! King Lin Wu will always we welcome in our humble kingdom.” King Yun Guiren hurriedly replied.
“Yes! Yes! Why don’t we head to Cragfall city, King Lin Wu? We can have some warm refreshments and talk peacefully there.” The man that looked similar to the king suggested.
“You are?” Lin Wu inquired.
“I am Prince Yun Fei.” The man introduced himself.
“So you are King Yun’s son.” Lin Wu nodded his head in acknowledgment.
“Yes, he’s my son and the father of that child.” King Yun Guiren informed.
“I see.” Lin Wu nodded his head. “Very well, let’s go to your city.”
“Great! I’ll inform them of your visit.” Prince Yun Fei said before taking out a communication jade slip and sending a message.
King Yun Guiren took the lead, while Lin Wu and Tim followed behind them.
‘I wonder how they intended to accommodate us…’ Lin Wu knew that there weren’t any buildings large enough to hold him.
They might be able to hold Tim, but certainly not Lin Wu who was several hundred meters long.
