Chapter 914: Cang Ci And Cicada
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Wu finally replied to Wang Xiong.
“Senior, You’re done?” Wang Xiong asked.
“Yes. I’ve taken a look and made the cure for it.” Lin Wu replied.
“You did? But… I didn’t even see you.” Wang Xiong was a little lost.
“I just did it quickly. At least I’ll be done soon now, since I got the cure ready.” Lin Wu replied.
“That is good. But how are you going to send the cure?” Wang Xiong wondered.
“I’m sending someone to do that.” Lin Wu replied. “They will spread the cure both on the surface as well as underground. If we don’t do that, the blight will reappear.”
“I see… and who’s coming for that?” Wang Xiong questioned knowing that the underground areas where the blight had reached were quiet deep.
For humans to get there was difficult and if they made any mistake, the ground might cave in burying them. But more than that, the damage to the water systems would be a lot more troubling.
“A beast and a human. That should make the communication easier for everyone.” Lin Wu answered.
“A beast and a human? Who are they?” Wang Xiong was surprised, thinking that it might be someone currently cultivating in the shrine of the Sky Bright Daoist.
It saw a reasonable assumption since a lot of humans were now present there. And they also came in contact with beasts often, allowing them to get a better understanding of them.
“You’ll know when you see them,” Lin Wu said before cutting the link.
“Huh… guess it’ll be a surprise.” Wang Xiong muttered. ‘Though it is also better to keep a little confidentiality. After all, this matter is between multiple kingdoms that aren’t allied officially.’ He reckoned.
Still, just this information along was big. And when Wang Xiong told all this to the patriarchs and the kings, they were left stunned.
“He already has a cure ready?” King of the White Loom kingdom exclaimed.
“Yes. He came and analyzed the blight before making a cure. He’s sending his subordinates to spread the cure. They will start from the Juhe kingdom and go all the way south. Just like we have listed on the map.
We should meet them in a few days.” Wang Xiong explained.
“Still… it didn’t even take him three days to prepare this. It’s a little unbelievable.” The king of the Peony plains kingdom said.
“More than unbelievable… it’s almost like the cure was already prepared by him.” The patriarch off the Dark Plains sect said with a hint of suspicion.
Wang Xiong’s eyes locked on the man, and a slight frown appeared on his face.
“It is not good to suspect our allies now patriarch Dark Plains… Lest we offend them and our trouble doubles.” Wang Xiong said in a low tone, expressions his displeasure.
Hearing this, the patriarch was bit taken aback, after all Wang Xiong’s status was still below him as a patriarch. Even when comparing cultivation base, he was still lower than him and should have spoken with respect.
But just as he was about to say something, he felt the eyes of Chan Sect patriarch on him. They held warning in them, as if telling him to measure his words twice before speaking them.
~huu~
Letting out a breath, the patriarch let go of the matter. ‘Only time will tell how things fare… I’ll watch till then.’
Wang Xiong’s work didn’t stop here though as he sent out several orders to the various kingdoms under the authority of the kings. The orders basically told the people there to cooperate with the incoming beast and human.
It also warned them not to offend them in any way, and not to make any other mistake. With the official seals of the kings on each order, the authenticity was established and messengers took them out.
Two days later at the border of Juhe kingdom.
Wang Xiong and several others were waiting at the side of a river.
“When will they arrive?” Someone asked.
“They shouldn’t be far now.” Wang Xiong replied.
He could sense the beast coming closer due to the Pentagem implant in him. He had been told by Lin Wu that the communication methods will work with other beasts under him too.
But what surprised Wang Xiong was the fact that he didn’t just feel one such link nearing, but rather two.
“Did senior send two beasts? I thought he was going to send a beast and a human.” Wang Xiong wondered.
~BUZZ~
And just as he said that, a buzzing sound could be heard. It was coming from a distance and was very sharp. If one listened to it for too long, they might even get nauseous from it. Thankfully, the people here were all cultivators and wouldn’t be affected that easily.
“What is that sound?” the kings were surprised.
“That almost sounds like the sound of a cicada.” Patriarch of the Chan sect said.
Everyone focused on the buzzing sound and felt like the patriarch was indeed right.
“Look!” Soon they could see a small figure appear in the distance.
It was evident that the buzzing sound was coming from it and the air seemed to be flickering around it. Only when one focused would they realize that it wasn’t air that was flickering, but rather wings that were flapping at a great speed.
“Is that the beast?” King of the White Loom Kingdom asked while squinting his eyes.
About thirty seconds later, the figure had gotten closer and now they could see a human figure there too.
“No, not just beast. There’s someone else there.” Someone spotted.
Another minute later, the figure had become clear and was visible to everyone.
“It really is a Cicada!” The kings were surprised to see a large cicada beast.
“Junior Cang Ci greets the Patriarchs and Kings.” A young girl sitting on the head of the cicada greeted with cupped hands.
‘Nascent soul realm? The young girl is at the Nascent soul realm!’
