Chapter 642: Yun Bai Leaves The Grotto
Lin Wu ended up waiting near the grotto for about three days before he finally sensed something.
“Oh? It’s changing.” Lin Wu was woken up from his cultivation as some spirit Qi fluctuations reached him.
He looked at the location where the grotto was supposedly located and saw the air cracking.
~flicker~
“Hmm, so that’s were it exactly is.” Lin Wu muttered as he watched it open.
The cracks kept on expanding until finally a three meter wide hole was created. Nothing could be seen behind it other than just darkness. From this very hole appeared an old man.
“Yun Bai,” Lin Wu called out.
Yun Bai who had just stepped out of the grotto was alarmed, having heard someone call his name. But in the next instant, he found the familiar presence.
“You’re here?” Yun Bai questioned.
“I couldn’t contact you, the communication jade slip didn’t work. Thus I had no option but to wait here.” Lin Wu answered once Yun Bai came to stand in front of him.
“Did something happen?” Yun Bai questioned.
“A lot actually…” Lin Wu answered.
“Hmm… tell me everything.” Yun Bai requested and came to sit on a rock.
~huu~
Lin Wu took a deep breath before he began his explanation of all that had happened. From the weasel beast Tim, to the Frozen Cliff divisions action. The more Yun Bai heard, the more cold his expression got.
~Sigh~
“Seems like they are really not going to follow the rules of the sect in the end…” Yun Bai muttered.
“The way they followed behind Wang Xiong and Ye Jin is enough of an offense isn’t it? I mean… secretly following behind the chief disciple who would likely be the patriarch in the future, doesn’t that point to treason in a way?” Lin Wu suggested.
Yun Bai didn’t say much to that, but from his expression, it could be told that he was certainly thinking the same.
“Anyways… did you find anything in your clan’s archives?” Lin Wu questioned.
“I did indeed.” Yun Bai said before taking out some old scrolls that were made from bamboo strips.
Lin Wu saw it and could tell that they were really ancient.
“These are the records?” Lin Wu asked.
“Yes, it took me a while to find them. I never thought they would actually be one of the few hand written records that we never added to jade slips.” Yun Bai replied.
“Let’s see then…” Lin Wu said before unraveling the scroll.
Each scroll was about five meters long, once opened and had quite a bit of information written on it. Each bamboo strip had at least five to seven lines written on it and the language used was an older dialect too.
“Can you read this? Or do you need me to translate?” Yun Bai asked, seeing as how Lin Wu stared at the scrolls.
“I understand it, so no need.” Lin Wu said as he let the system translate it quickly.
~DING~

The system finished its work, and Lin Wu saw the analyzed information appearing on a window in front of him.
There were several different sections of information and Lin Wu started with the one that was first in the window.
The records told about the history of the invaders and how the things happened. The author of the records was one of the ancestors of the Frost Fox clan and had written about what he had seen and experienced.
Apparently, when the invasion originally occurred, there were several alliances of invaders who commonly chose to invade the Ming Dao world. To them, the Ming Dao world was a hidden treasure trove which had gone unnoticed because there had not been anyone impressive arriving from it.
The Skull god made up a little story, which was enough to get them interested. Besides, the invaders wouldn’t mind even if there wasn’t anything special about the Ming Dao world. To them, it would still be enough if they got the natural resources of the world.
Of all the invaders, there was a particular group called as the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber. It was this group that brought the Frost Fox clan to the Ming Dao world as slaves. The Frost Fox clan had been controlled by them for a long time before and had been used as soldiers and cannon fodder in many worlds before it.
To the Frost Fox clan, this was just a regular thing, and they had been habituated to it. But what they never realized that all this was being orchestrated by someone they didn’t even know of.
The invaders that attacked the Ming Dao world would have never attempted it if they knew it was the Skull god who had an eye on it. The Skull god didn’t have a good reputation and if they associated with them, they would be targeted by the righteous powers.
Plus, they didn’t know that the four guardian beasts had already sent their beacons to this world. They would never attempt an invasion with them being there. In fact, even if the temple had not been established, and the beasts were not summoned, they would still not dare to take over if just the dormant beacons were present.
It was far too much of a risk that they would rather not take.
In a way, the Skull god had tricked the invaders, the people of the Ming Dao world and also the guardian beasts. Lin Wu couldn’t help but admire the man on some level. Manipulation of that level while also taking a risk on his own was not an easy task to do.
After the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber arrived, they began their work and first took over a certain area in the Ming Dao world. This area located near to where Lin Wu and Yun Bai were right now.
‘Hmm… makes sense that the Grotto has such strong defenses. It was originally made by the invaders as a base for them to use. But after they lost, they abandoned it, allowing the Frost Fox clan to take over.’ Lin Wu thought.
