Lin Mu too watched Jing Luo and wondered what his response would be.


    He wouldn''t me Jing Luo if he wanted nothing to do with this all or if he wanted to me them. Lin Mu would fully respect that decision, seeing what the sects had done to his n.


    Lin Mu could understand it very well. After all, he was in a way doing it for his family too. If it were not for his father and mother dying due to the gue, which was caused due to the effect of the invader, he might not have embarked on this path.


    Everyone that knew of the Jing n and the involvement of the sects watched on with a bated breath until Jing Luo spoke.


    "While the Long Cloud sect is not free of their crimes, I know the current times call for changes. I will be ''lenient'' and wait till my grandfather can decide for himself." Jing Luo stated.


    The expressions of everyone changed upon hearing it. Some were palled while some were a bit relieved. Those who knew what Jing Luo truly meant were feeling better, but those that were not in the flow as much were stunned. To them, this was no less than a direct threat.


    "Very well. I shall wait for Daoist Jing Wei''s decision." Patriarch You Yi replied, not question the fact that Jing Wei was actually alive.


    Patriarch Hua had never included this fact in his negotiation and neither was the fact that Jing Luo existing was included. All of this was to give an advantage to them and to make things unpredictable for the sects.


    Even if Jing Luo was alone, the sects that had dealt with the Jing n knew how it truly was and what their power was. If it really came to it and Jing Wei was alive, they knew they would not have a good time.


    Even alone, Jing Wei was not a person the sects wanted to face.


    ''The old man has created or has had taken part in the creation of our top weapons… if we are to fight him, we will be at a great disadvantage no matter what…'' Patriarch You Yi and several High Elders thought.


    "Since Patriarch You Yi doesn''t mind it, shall we discuss what is crucial now?" Lin Mu spoke.


    "Of course, please… show us that ''thing''." Patriarch You Yi replied.


    "Pardon me," high Elder Sunsen said as he waved his hand.


    The tea pot that was floating behind him came forward and increased to the size it used to be.


    <i>~clink~</i>


    The lid of the teapot opened, and it flipped over.


    <i>~THUD~</i>


    The infected rabbit beast fell out and was open to everyone''s eyes.


    <i>~SKREEE!!!!~</i>


    The Rabbit beast let out a furious screech and did not falter at all despite the strong spirit Qi fluctuations that were in the hall.


    Patriarch You Yi was in the Dao Treading realm and was disying equivalent spirit Qi fluctuations and yet, the beast was unresponsive to that. It was as if to it, fear did not exist and all it existed was for to kill and consume other beings.


    It literally bared its fangs at the Patriarch and hissed, showing its intentions.


    "Well… this certainly is one fearless being." Patriarch You Yi spoke.


    "Not just that, it is one of the avatars of the invader." Lin Mu chimed in.


    "Oh? You know more?" You Yi asked with intrigue.


    "I do." Lin Mu nodded.


    "Please exin." The Patriarch asked.


    Lin Mu then went on to exin how the invader truly was. It was not aplete being and lived by sending out avatars to different worlds. At least this was the hypothesis that Senior Xukong had suggested to him.


    The main body of the invader existed somewhere in the void and was unreachable by normal means. It supposedly thrived on taking over beings that lived in a world and could eventually take over it entirely if given enough time.


    Lin Mu even showed them the dead bodies of the other beasts that he hade across. This was nothing but the Horse Chimera and the Green Tailed Howler Monkey corpse that they had discovered.


    Lin Mu tried to go into detail as much as possible to convince the man about the invader. So far, most of the people he had seen and met were more on the side of being cynical. He didn''t know why, but they did not believe things, even when the truth was basically hidden behind a piece of paper.


    It was as if they had gone brain dead and could not think critically. It was a crucial part as to why things became difficult and why the Northern Tribes along with the invader, were able to live for so long.

    After about two hours of speaking, Lin Mu was finally done and looked at the Patriarch for his response.


    ''At least be willing to think over it…'' Lin Mu thought to himself.


    "Hmm…" You Yi hummed.


    Everyone looked on in anticipation, wondering what the man''s decision would be.


    "I… The Thirteenth Patriarch of the Long Cloud Sect decides that… the cultivator Lin Mu is hereby considered as… THE ALLY OF THE SECT AND THE ALLY OF THE LONG CLOUD ALLIANCE!" The patriarch proimed!


    Lin Mu''s eyes went wide, and so did Jing Luo''s. The elders of the sect were no less shocked by the decision.


    "Patriarch! Are you sure of this! We have no surety of his ims!" one of the high elders said.


    "High Elder Bugi, you do not know how the life was a long time ago and how the northern tribes affected us. You were one of the few ''privileged'' that did not have to experience all that.


    I myself was part of the party that went to exterminate one of the invader beast summoned by the Northern tribes a thousand years ago. I still remember the terror I felt from the beast… it was far stronger than anything… if it were not for Patriarch Jing Wei, we might have lost the entire empire that day.." Patriarch You Yi exined.
