Chapter 670: The Strong Cultivators And Beasts Of The World (1/2)

Jing Wei and his family had a grudge with the Imperial family and the emperor, along with several of the top sects. Those were the sects that could be directly excluded from the choice of potential allies.

”Which sects participated in attacking you and your clan before?” Lin Mu questioned.

”The top three sects were mostly neutral, but it was their neutrality that gave the others free rein to act as they wished. But the ones that did not act at all were only two from among the top sects.

These are the Long Cloud sect and the Noon Grass sect.” Jing Luo answered.

”Well then. That's our choice for the allies. We either go for the Long cloud sect and gain help of the entire Long Cloud alliance or go for the solitary Noon Grass sect.” Lin Mu decided.

”Alright. Even if the other members of the Long cloud alliance were once involved in hunting us down, we can spare them, since they are under the leadership of the Long Cloud sect.

As for the Noon Grass sect, I don't really have anything much to say about them. Even back when the Jing clan was at its peak, we didn't have any transactions with the Noon Grass sect and they hadn't bought any peak grade spirit tools and weapons from us.” Jing Luo explained.

”I see… we can choose who to go to depending on who's closer, then.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Hmm… if we consider the distance then the Long Cloud Sect is the closest to us. It will take about a month or more to reach it though.” Jing Luo replied.

”How far is the Noon Grass Sect?” Lin Mu questioned.

”It is to the extreme south, almost at the border of the previous southern continent. If we want to get there, it would take us over six months to do so.” Jing Luo answered.

”Six months? Even at Little Shrubby's speed?” Lin Mu asked, feeling a bit surprised.

”Yeah, I considered his speed too. If it was a straight distance, it might have only taken two months to reach there, but the problem is the terrain obstacles that come up. Many of them can't just be passed directly and need to be crossed through safer paths.

Not to mention many of these areas are dangerous to pass through and are populated by numerous beasts some of which can even reach the Dao Shell realm. Plus, with the location that the Noon Grass sect is located, the danger increases even more.

The dense forests of the southern lands are home to the most resources in the world and also the most dangerous beasts. There are multiple Dao Treading beasts that live there as well.

Perhaps if the beasts had some ambitions, they might have already taken over the world as the number of Dao Treading realm beasts easily outnumbers that of the humans.” Jing Luo explained.

”My… that's a lot. And what about the Immortal Ascension realm? Are there any cultivators or beasts of that level?” Lin Mu couldn't help but feel curious.
