Chapter 773: A Successful Discussion
Having seen the information there were several new thoughts in Lin Wu’s mind.
Regardless of it all, Lin Wu felt like he needed to see this man in person. After all, without that he wouldn’t be able to compare bloodlines, would he?
The discussion continued as the people determined the more finer terms that were to be followed.
For example, a quota was set on the number of people that each sect or kingdom could send. This was actually something that was asked for by the sects rather than Lin Wu. To Lin Wu, the more people came here the better it would be. As he would be gaining more resources in the form of tributes as well as having more pawns to use.
The sects chose this quota since they didn’t want the other powers to go all crazy and send all their disciples here. While it was a far-fetched idea, there was still a chance that some sects might use numbers to oppress the disciples of other sects that came here for the inheritance.
It was a valid concern and all the sects could agree upon it. The kingdoms didn’t have any opposition and neither did the top three clans.
With all the terms done, the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape decided to ask them one final time.
“Now that we are reaching the end of our meeting, I’d like to ask everyone one last time if they have any concerns relating to the inheritance ground.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape questioned.
He looked around and saw that none of them seemed to be having any doubts.
“Sir envoy of the Long clan, would you like to ask anything? You haven’t really spoken anything.” The elder from the Cang Lan sect spoke up.
So far, everyone had spoken at least once, but this man had not. He would simply nod in response or give a humming response. He had no disagreements and neither did he have any extra words to say.
It was as if he was mute and couldn’t really speak any words.
To the other powers who wanted to get acquainted with a person from the Long clan, they basically got no chance at all.
The elder from the Cang Lan sect was the same and wanted the same. And with this conclusion of the meeting, it was the best time to ask him. It wouldn’t be considered offending them either.
The man finally looked at the people sitting around and opened his eyes, surprising them all.
‘Huh? Slit pupils?’ everyone had the same thought.
The man’s eyes were deep blue in color with black slit pupils. They looked reptilian but still suited his demeanor strangely. He was silent and had a cold aura and it was the perfect addition to it all.
“I have nothing to add. Though… I do have something else that does not concern the inheritance.” The Long clan envoy spoke.
“Please, do speak.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape responded.
“I would like to meet your King… the King of Millennium forest.” The Long clan envoy stated.
Hearing this, the ears of every person in here perked up. They all had this same desire in their minds too. A few of them were especially interested, like Shirong and Junior elder Kai Li.
Patriarch Bing was interested in it too, but he had already been told that he would get a private meeting later. This was told to him by Wang Xiong and Yun Bai, thus he wasn’t as bothered.
After all, he had made the entire Millennium forest into their ally which was an absurd thing for most. If not for the fact that there was assurance from Yun Bai and Wang Xiong, he would have never even thought of that.
Especially since the ally had killed half of his sect’s elders!
“I would like that too… or rather, we don’t know who your king is at all.” Elder Ruanjian spoke as well.
The others soon chimed in with the same desire.
The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape calmly raised his hand and gestured for them to pause.
“That can of course be arranged.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape stated.
“Really? That’s good.” Lian Xiaojian said.
He too felt curious about this king. They knew it was a beast, but they wondered what kind of a beast could unite all the beasts and even the former rulers. Going so far as to make an entire kingdom out of it.
“Not everyone will have a chance to meet him right now though. Our king is often deep in cultivation.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape stated.
“That is fine, I am willing to wait.” Shirong immediately stated.
‘Like heck, I’m going back without seeing him. He might be the key behind everything…’ Shirong thought to himself.
The more he stayed here, the more the feeling within him grew. He had been connected with the spear for a long time in the past and had gotten very familiar with the aura it gave off. And here he could feel something similar to it.
Not just in his mind, but he could feel it from all the beasts around him. Even the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape in front of him felt the same, though there was still some difference.
He didn’t know the reason behind it, but the main factor linking them all would be the king.
“Alright, all those willing to stay can stay. You shall be provided quarters nearby.” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape replied right away.
The places for humans to stay had already been made a while ago as Lin Wu was fully expecting hundreds if not thousands of them to come to the forest after the Sky Bright Daoist’s trials were opened.
Back when the disciples of the Frozen Cloud sect were here, it was fine to let them stay in the shrine. But the same could not be said for thousands of them. The shrine could accommodate a couple hundred with no problem, but not more than that.
