Chapter 653: A Proposal For Allies And A Proposal For Foes
Lin Wu’s offer had come abruptly and the Frost Foxes didn’t know what to make of it. All they could do now was to look at their patriarch’s face that was still as always.
“This… I don’t know if we can do this senior. While we greatly appreciate it, we cannot make a decision in a short time.” The man replied after thinking for a bit.
“No worries. If any of you feel like it, you can inform your patriarch and head on over to the Millennium forest. I’ll know when you are near it and you will be safe.” Lin Wu spoke.
“Alright, we’ll think of it then.” The man said and the other frost foxes started whispering amongst themselves.
For them, leaving the grotto was not an option, as they had never even comprehended doing that. While all of them had the dream of one day leaving this place and even the entire world so that they weren’t suppressed anymore, they still hoped to walk out of the grotto just so that they could get rid of their boredom.
But the world would probably restrain them if they were outside, and they had a good chance of meeting misfortune. Humans would desire them if they encountered them and would probably look to capture them for many reasons.
Yun Bai didn’t speak anything and looked at the expressions of his clansmen.
‘~Sigh~ I’m useless that I was never able to let them wander around in the world like a normal beast. It is something natural to them and yet, they need to stay confined in here.’ Yun Bai thought to himself as he secretly sighed.
No emotion could be perceived from his face as it was just calm and neither did Lin Wu sense anything. While Lin Wu knew of the restriction of the world on them, he also knew that it would vary differently for different individuals.
He also thought that the tomb would be able to prevent the world’s restrains from affecting them if he managed to gain a bit more power and unlock the other capabilities of the Taiji Celestial’s Tomb.
It was certainly not him wanting the Frost Foxes to be there so that they could cook for him…
With this little farewell completed, the three of them finally left the grotto and flew out into the sky.
“You don’t mind them leaving, right?” Lin Wu questioned.
“If they are able to survive outside, I don’t mind. But that is not an option currently. I would be the most happy person the day my clan is able to walk in the world freely. So if you can make that happen, it would be the best day of my life.” Yun Bai answered.
“I see… once I’ll get back to my place, I’ll try to see if I can come up with something that can reduce or stop the influence of the world’s restrictions.” Lin Wu spoke.
“You can do that?” Yun Bai asked with raised brows.
“Well I can sure try. I do in fact know some methods, but most of them need resources we won’t find on this world.” Lin Wu replied, stunning the man.
Lin Wu had not lied about this answer. He actually did know about things that could prevent the world’s restrictions, but those methods needed really strong and unique materials that would be hellish to find in this world.
Though Lin Wu was also hoping for the fact that the Taiji Celestial’s tomb could help in some other way. There were a lot of encrypted features that he would only be able to access once he had sufficient cultivation base and the level for the system to make it work.
The three of them flew non-stop towards the Frozen Cloud sect and didn’t meet any obstacles.
Lin Wu thought that it was a good time to ask Yun Bai about their next plans.
“So, what are we going to do after reaching the sect?” Lin Wu asked the man.
“From what I’ve heard from you and what happened to Wang Xiong and Ye Jin, the Frozen Cliff Division will have to suffer some punishment. And if their involvement in the attack is ever found out, even if they did not attack directly, it would still be a cause for doubt.” Yun Bai replied.
“Hmm… I see. So the goal is to make use of this and gain as many liberties as possible.” Lin Wu stated.
“Exactly. If things go as well as I hope they might go, we might not have to fight again like this by the time I’m done.” Yun Bai replied.
“That will be a good outcome. Though if Wang Xiong needs help, I’ll be there. It won’t take me long to travel from the Millennium forest to the Frozen Cloud Sect now that I have a route ready.” Lin Wu spoke.
Lin Wu had made the direct tunnel when he came here this time and thus it would allow him to travel far quicker.
“And just in case, I’ll get rid of a few obstacles on the path that might arrive at the time of emergences.” Lin Wu added.
“Oh? Obstacles?” Yun Bai asked.
“There are a few other beasts that might interfere when I pass by their territories. So it’s best they don’t exist.” Lin Wu replied casually, as if he had not just sentenced thousands of beasts to death.
“Hmm… Alright.” Yun Bai agreed, not really finding a fault with it.
“Though… keep an eye out for others from the Weiyuan chamber, I don’t know if they have actual spies in the sect.” Lin Wu warned.
Hearing this, the gaze of Yun Bai turned serious and he nodded.
“I will. I might as well take this opportunity that the Frozen Cliff Division has presented us to do a complete audit of the sect. It has been a century since the last one was done. It will help weed out any spies and other people who have their personal interests rather than the sects in their hearts.” Yun Bai said in a cold tone.
