Chapter 665: Propositions And Discussions (1/2)

A small group of people sat in a hall in the Mu clan.

This was the small alliance that Lin Mu had created and they were the very first members of it. In the center sat Lin Mu, and opposite to him was Jing Luo. On the right of Lin Mu sat Jingming Shang and Mu Tao, while on his left there were Miss Fen and Mu Niu.

”I still can't believe how senior managed to get Shantung to join us as well.” Mu Tao said.

”It was actually a surprise to me as well. Never thought that the day I would go to kill them, he would have a change of heart… or rather his son would.” Lin Mu replied.

Miss Fen had her hand on her chin as she thought about it for a bit.

”But is it really fine to trust him? He can change at any time.” Miss Fen said in a concerned tone.

”I know. That's why we will be keeping him on a short leash. His son is far smarter than him and knows how to adapt. He seems to be the better person to interact with. And seeing from how Shantung has voluntarily taken to a more passive position in this situation, it makes sense that he's letting his son handle it.” Lin Mu replied.

”Wait… how old is Shantung?” Jingming Shang questioned as a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Miss Fen and Mu Tao seemed to be unable to answer this, and so did Lin Mu and Jing Luo. After all, there was no specific reason for them to find out the age of the man back then and thus they didn't know.

”Shantung has been alive since the time of Uncle Di… so that would put him at… just over two hundred and fifty years, I think.” Mu Niu calculated.

Hearing that the man was over two hundred and fifty years old, Jing Luo and Jingming Shang understood the situation.

”No wonder… he's running out of his lifespan and wants to pass on his position now.” Jingming Shang spoke.

”That might actually be the reason why he gave in to the threat of Gu Yao so fast as well. He was simply fearful of his clan's existence after he was gone. I know Shantung would not back down from a fight, but if he was gone, his clan would not have anyone to rely on.

But now that his son is showing potential, he might be intending to pass on the position quicker. Besides, he also showed a willingness to fight against Gu Yao now too, right? That might be his last attempt at glory before he runs out of lifespan.” Miss Fen analyzed.

Hearing all this, Lin Mu thought for a bit and wondered what could be the best outcome for them and the alliance.

”Shantung has been at the Peak stage of the Core condensation realm for a long time now, and the only reason he has been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul realm is because of the lack of talent.” Lin Mu assessed.
