Chapter 128: Requesting For Weapons (1/2)

Neither Hei Bao nor anyone else had expected these words to come out of Hei Wan's mouth. Core Condensation realm experts were already a rarity in this region. Even in Wen Dao armaments, there was only one Core condensation realm expert.

This Revelation was too much for them and they could only imagine the kind of sect the said disciples must have come from. Even in the top sects, most disciples were at the qi refining realm. Only the inner sect disciples were at the core condensation realm, along with a few core disciples.

”This means that… they are at the very least inner sect disciples.” Hei Bao stated.

Hei Wan shook her head helplessly in acknowledgment.

”That is true, and seeing their numbers, I doubt they can be from anywhere except a top sect.” Hei Wan spoke.

Hei Bao then realized that they still didn't know how many disciples were there. He turned his eyes to Hei Bao in a questioning manner.

”There were eleven disciples at the core condensation realm and fifteen at the peak stage of the qi refining realm.” Hei Wan answered upon seeing the gaze of Hei Bao.

At this point, even Lin Mu was left speechless and could not know what to make of this. It seemed to him that another one of their avenues had been blocked by misfortune. It was now that he heard the voice of senior Xukong again.

”It doesn't matter to us as much for now. You need to focus on the Invader instead, that is what's going to be more problematic in the long run.” Xukong advised.

”Yes senior, you're right.” Lin Mu replied while gently nodding his head to himself.

He then looked at the faces of the people in the room and thought about what they should be doing next.

~Ahem~

Lin Mu coughed and pulled their attention towards himself.

”Now then, we still need to focus on the current situation.” Lin Mu reminded.

Hei Bao and Hei Wan let out a breath and nodded their head in acceptance.

”You're right. We shouldn't be distracted by needless things for now.” Hei Wan spoke.

”So, when are the reinforcements coming?” Lin Mu questioned Hei Wan.

”The majority of them should be here within a week, but the core condensation realm expert will take around ten days to reach.” Hei Wan answered.

Lin Mu tilted his head in confusion upon hearing her words.

”Why is it taking him so long?” Lin Mu questioned.

”You see, the Core condensation expert was very far from us. We only sent the message to him four days ago. While he should have received the message by now, it will still take him a long time to reach here.” Hei Wan answered.

”What was his location before this?” Hei Bao asked, feeling strange.

”The Black Dawn kingdom.” Hei Wan answered.

”Hmm, that makes sense. Crossing the borders and the counties would take that much time.” Hei Bao replied.

Lin Mu was not expecting that the core condensation realm expert would be coming from so far. He had heard of Black Dawn Kingdom before and knew that it was the neighboring kingdom of Shuang Qian Kingdom. It was located to the west of it and was nearly the same size as that of the Shuang Qian kingdom.

Lin Mu didn't know much about the Black Dawn kingdom, except that it was a rather barren kingdom and didn't have much farmland. The only common thing between the Shuang Qian Kingdom and the Black Dawn kingdom was that the Northern Forest existed in both Kingdoms. It was the largest forest in the Northern Lands and spanned across the three frontier kingdoms.

Lin Mu had only heard of some tidbits from the traveling merchants that had once come to the northern town and had been to the Black Dawn kingdom before. He had heard from them that it took over two months to reach the Black Dawn kingdom from the Northern Town if they traveled by a carriage.

'If that expert is able to reach here in ten days, then it's still rather quick.' Lin Mu reckoned.

”Well then, what should I do in that period?” Lin Mu asked.

Hei Wan turned to Lin Mu and thought for a bit before speaking.

”We'll be discussing this matter with the mercenaries first, we can do that as soon as they reach here. As for the rest and considering the matter of the 'Invader' I think we can only proceed after all the reinforcements are here.” Hei Wan answered.
