Chapter 525: The Smart Monke
Upon Lin Wu’s question, the System gave a notification sound and a few screens appeared in front of him.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The beast corpses have been stored in the new areas that have been recovered over the years. Since they were frozen, they are kept in a low temperature room to keep them as it is. They will be in the perfect state for consumption when unfrozen.

Hearing this Lin Wu was impressed.
“Very good system. Looks like we now have a fridge here as well.” Lin Wu chuckled and took note of this hall.
He could tell that there were some different kinds of formation arrays present in it that were being used to lower the temperature. They were composed of several types of formations, some of them being insulating formations, heat repelling formations, chilling formations, and isolating formations.
The combined formation array made from all these formations basically resulted in a massive refrigerator of a hall. This was actually a formation array that several sects used to presser the beast corpses that were hunted down by the disciples.
Since every sect had a high demand for the beasts, there were often several such halls set up in them.
Lin Wu put his attention back on the conversion and was now listening to the sparrow beast speak. He too was repeating the same series of events, albeit with some new addition and omissions according to what he had experienced.
One by one each beast spoke their side of the events, but when it came to the ‘Monk’ey beast, Lin Wu listened with even more attention. This was the one servant of Lin Wu who had had the greatest change during this time and had gained a lot as well.
Lin Wu was curious to hear about his side.
“Master has already heard the same series of events several times, so I won’t waste master’s time. Rather than that, I’ll just tell master about the more important things that I saw and experienced.
The first thing master should know is that we now have an enemy.” The ‘Monk’ey beast spoke.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Lin Wu and the other servants were equally surprised.
“We have a new enemy and you never told us?” The Beetle beast questioned.
“I did not deem it necessary at that point and could not judge it well, either. But over the years my understanding has grown and I think we have an enemy now.” The ‘Monk’ey beast clarified.
“I see… and what is this new enemy we have that you speak of?” Lin Wu questioned.
“Master has a subordinate named Wang Xiong, and he had become the chief disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect in the past few years. His progress was of course a result of master’s interference had has allowed him to gain a lot more power and influence.
This has caused several rifts in the Frozen Cloud sect’s internal politics and two camps have now been formed. One is on the side of Wang Xiong and the other is against him. It is the camp that is against him that is our enemy.
I have learned that it was also that very camp that caused the disciples of the Frozen Clouds sect to arrive in the forest due to a ‘mission’ that they so issued. They are jealous of Wang Xiong’s power and desire it themselves.
After the great defeat they faced, the frozen cloud sect retracted the mission and recalled all of the disciples. Some of the ones that survived relayed the power that we as the beasts held in the forest.
They also noticed that there were several more Nascent soul beasts than just the rulers now and are convinced that it is due to master. While they don’t know that master exists, they know that there is something in the forest behind Wang Xiong and those beasts.
And thus I have deemed them to be our enemies.” The ‘Monk’ey beast explained.
Upon hearing this, the other servant beasts were surprised, while Lin Wu was impressed. He knew that this monkey beast had the greatest intellective of all the servants he had, but this was on a completely different level than his expectations.
‘Not only does he have foresight, but his analytical ability is rather good. Hmm… the inheritance of the Sky Bright Daoist might be something I should look into more.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
“I see… and what else do you have. This is only one of the things I presume?” Lin Wu asked.
“Of course, I have a few more.” The ‘Monk’ey beast said before continuing.
“The second thing that I have to say is that Wang Xiong also knew of what was going to potentially happen and thus he sent his own people to the forest. These people actually inhibited and stopped a lot of the other disciples of the Frozen cloud sect.
There was also one of the teams that actually arrived at the shrine where I was appointed by Master.” The ‘monk’ey beast stated.
“And what happened to that team then?” Lin Wu asked, wanting to know more.
Even though he knew that the disciples stayed there for the trials, he did not know how they were faring now.
“I allowed the disciples to undergo the trials of the Sky Bright Daoist… I have been granted an inheritance by him as well, and what I am right now is the result of that. I learned a lot more thing from him as well and know just what kind of a power stands behind master.” The “Monk’ey beast said while cupping and bowing his head in respect.
“Oh? So you took the Sky Bright Daoist as a teacher?” Lin Wu questioned.
“Indeed, master. And since he is my teacher, I am also your disciple-nephew by relation.” The ‘Monk’ey beast said.
Lin Wu raised his brows upon hearing this, but once he linked the ‘family tree’ he did realize that it made sense. The Sky Bright Daoist was a disciple of the Taiji Celestial and his ‘senior brother’ and since the ‘Monk’ey beast was his disciple, it made Lin Wu the ‘Monk’ey beast’s uncle-master as well.
