Chapter 691: A Distracting Reward?
Lin Wu and the Twin Lights Liger king had been waiting for about an hour here for a certain pair to meet up with them. Tim on the other hand, had taken the opportunity to take another nap and Lin Wu simply let him.
It was better than him causing trouble anyway.
“These humans… are they trustable?” The Twin Lights Liger king questioned.
“They should be as trustable as any of you.” Lin Wu answered with assurance. ‘After all, they’ll die the moment they try thinking of betraying me,’ He said inwardly.
The ones Lin Wu and the Twin Lights Liger king were waiting for were none other than Tian Han and Tian Chu. Lin Wu had asked them to hide some distance away from sect while he and the Twin Lights Liger king reached there.
The two of them were south of the Frozen Cloud sect and were making their way here, whereas Lin Wu was north of the sect.
‘According to the intel given by them, this should be the best place to proceed from. The Frozen Cliff Division and Frozen Brook Division’s border is just a few kilometers ahead.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
He checked the map and saw the position of the two servants. They were rapidly approaching them and would reach them in just a few more minutes.
And when they finally arrived, the first thing they did was to gasp.
“What in the name of heavens…!?” Tian Han said in surprise.
Tian Chu didn’t say anything, but still took a breath of shock seeing the two others with Lin Wu. While they knew that Lin Wu was bringing some backup, they didn’t expect them to be Dao Shell realm beasts either.
Even if they couldn’t tell what Tim’s cultivation base was, their instincts were shouting at them that he was no less dangerous than the other two. In fact, he seemed to be even more dangerous than the large Liger beast that stood next to Lin Wu.
“Greeting’s master,” Tian Han and Tian Chu greeted.
“Did you meet any trouble on the way?” Lin Wu asked.
“None for now, master.” Tian Chu replied.
“Good. And I’m guessing the two of you are in the best condition and have recovered all spirit Qi reserves?” Lin Wu asked further.
“Of course!” the two of them replied.
“Good! Now then, I guess you two should meet the other two members of the team.” Lin Wu said as he gestured to the Twin Lights Liger king and Tim.
“This is Tim, a Myriad obsidian Weasel and this is the Twin Lights Liger king. Both of them are my subordinates and are at the Dao Shell realm.” Lin Wu quickly introduced.
“Greetings to seniors!” The two of them hurriedly replied.
Since the Twin Lights Liger king and Tim were both above their cultivation realms, they had to be respectful to them. Calling them senior was not wrong, even if Tim might be a few decades younger than them.
Tian Chu felt awe in her heart at seeing the two beasts.
‘Master is certainly very strong if he can have such powerful subordinates.’ Tina Chu thought with a glimmer in her eyes.
Tian Han was the same, but felt a strange pressure instead.
‘Even Dao Shell realm beasts like them are following him… what use will I be at my level?’ Tian Han couldn’t help but wonder.
He was after all, at the peak stage of the core condensation realm and was the weakest of them all right now. It wouldn’t be strange for him to not be considered at all.
~Growl~
Tian Han flinched slightly and looked at the Twin Lights Liger king, who had let out a low growl. He could feel the eyes of the Twin Lights Liger king scanning him deeply. While the two beasts couldn’t speak human tongue like Lin Wu, he could tell that the large beast was talking.
“Are you sure we need this human? Isn’t he too… weak?” The Twin Lights Liger king questioned.
“Well yes. But he isn’t here to fight, anyway.” Lin Wu answered.
“Then what is he here for?” the Twin Lights Liger king asked.
It wasn’t just the Twin Lights Liger king that had this question, the two humans did too.
“Umm… master, what are we here for?” Tian Han asked, hesitatingly.
“Yes… I understand me being here, but he is too weak to fight them for long. With the number of nascent soul realm disciples they have at the frozen Cloud sect, he’ll die in a few attacks.” Tian Chu voiced her opinion as well.
“Well, Tian Han has a different role here. He is going to be the distraction.” Lin Wu spoke.
“Huh? Distraction?” Tian Han said in confusion.
He could imagine a few ways he could act as a distraction, but he could also think of other better way’s Lin Wu could cause a distraction.
‘With the three of them, just their presence along is enough to cause a great distraction.’ Tian Han thought.
“My thought was the same as what you are thinking right now,” Lin Wu said with a smile.
He had easily guessed what was going on in Tian Han’s mind. After all, it was an obvious option that just anyone could guess.
‘He knows what he’s thinking?’ Tian Chu was surprised.
“You are going to serve as a distraction in another way. And I assure you, it will be a lot flashier than us turning up at the sect.” Lin Wu spoke.
“What are you going to do, exactly?” The Twin Lights Liger king questioned, feeling really curious now as well.
“Well, you can say that his is a reward for you too.” Lin Wu added.
“A reward for me? For doing the work at the sect?” Tian Han assumed.
“Indeed. And it will serve as the perfect distraction, too.” Lin Wu replied.
Tian Chu tilted her head in confusion as she wondered what reward could serve as a distraction, until a few seconds later, it struck her.
“You will be breaking through to the Nascent soul realm today!” Lin Wu revealed.
