Chapter 948: An Open Introduction
The Three Horn Palace wasn’t the largest palace in the Long Clan, but what it did have was the largest open roof garden.
The entire palace was built around the central garden and all of the halls had an open wall that faced this garden. The Three Horn Place was triangular in shape and had three floors with there being three dragon horn shaped sculptures on their roofs.
The reason why Long Qing had picked this palace for the meeting was simply because it was the only one that Lin Wu would be able to be to enter. Or more accurately, Lin Wu would be sitting in the central garden while being able to join the meeting that way.
Lin Wu understood that quickly and took his place in the garden.
‘It’s just about my size too… though I’d be able to shrink too, but they don’t need to know that.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
While he could fit in the garden, the same could not be said for the plants and trees in there. They were inadvertently crushed under Lin Wu’s body. These weren’t normal plants and trees either with all of them being spirit herbs and trees.
Thankfully, the Long Clan had no shortage of them and could easily afford to replace the entire Three Horn Palace not to mention the plants in the garden.
“Now that we all are here, I suppose we can begin our discussion.” Ancestor Long Qing announced.
His eyes scanned the hall, watching for everyone’s expression. Pretty much every major power of the Long Continent was located here right now. Straight from the kingdoms, to the sects to the clans.
Any intimation discussed here would be spread quickly and be disseminated among the masses.
“King Lin Wu, I’ll give the honor of starting this discussion to you.” Ancestor Long Qing offered.
“Very well.” Lin Wu replied.
His large head basically occupied the entire open gallery of the hall and the rest of the people stood on two sides for better communication. They watched Lin Wu, feeling a bit nervous as the atmosphere was starting to feel like that now.
“I shall start with myself then. I understand, while I’ve been active for a few years now most do not know who or what I am.” Lin Wu spoke, instantly rousing the interest of everyone.
Pretty much every power in the Long Continent had heard of the rise of the Millennium Forest kingdom and the beast behind it, King Lin Wu. They had a lot of rumors and facts, making it hard for them to tell what was truth and what was false.
And while there had been several humans that had met the beast king in person, the information that was obtained from that was still limited.
There was no ‘official’ introduction that had been given by Lin Wu, in his reign as a king.
Many powers had spent a lot of money in order to search old records as well as spies to get more information. Unfortunately for them, a majority of those searches turned out to be a waste.
They couldn’t pull out information from the forest either after all, putting spies there was useless as beasts weren’t corruptible in the same sense as humans. While they could be given the greed of food and resources, that only worked to a certain extent.
Bloodline suppression was not something they would go against. And if they were forced, the humans would have some very angry and strong beasts on their doorstep.
And now that Lin Wu was willing to speak up about himself openly, they wouldn’t have to worry about stepping on any eggshells either. This was the best outcome they could have expected.
“You all might know this already, but my name is Lin Wu. I am a beast called as the Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm and I… am not of this world.” As soon as Lin Wu said this, it was as if a bomb was dropped on the heads of everyone.
Even Ancestors Long Qing and Long Fei winded their eyes in surprise.
Those that knew Lin Wu was not from this world were shocked for another reason.
‘He really did it… he admitted to everyone he is not from the Ming Dao world…’ Shirong and Wang Xiong thought.
Ancestor Long Qing and Long Fei were observing Lin Wu closely. Long Qing even went so far as to use a special skill that could detect truth.
‘He really is speaking truth!’ Long Qing confirmed.
Of course, Lin Wu’s words were in fact true. The only thing that was that the world he was from wasn’t specified.
“I came to the Ming Dao world a long time ago, long before the three guardian clans existed.” Lin Wu spoke.
~gasp~
Hearing this, the people were taken aback. To most, the three guardian clans were the earliest foundation of history from where they counted.
The calendar that was currently under use literally started from the 1st year of the guardians. And the years before that were called as per-guardian years.
Most of the history before the existence of the three guardian clans had become blurry. Thus finding someone who had existed since before the three guardian clans was very shocking to them.
“I was sent to the Ming Dao world for a purpose… by my master.” Lin Wu said, adding more mystery to it all.
“Your master?” Long Qing said in confusion. “Who is you master King Lin Wu?”
“My master is the… Taiji Celestial!” Lin Wu’s words had some unknown power within them, making everyone that heard it see illusions.
They saw an image of a great man forming in their minds. The man was great, standing over ten meters tall!
His facial features could not be made out, as if a foggy membrane was covering it, but what could be seen clearly were his eyes. One of his eyes was black like the darkest of nights while the other was white like the brightest of suns!
