Chapter 698: Chapter 304 Negotiations with the Wood Spirit Clan_2 Chapter 698: Chapter 304 Negotiations with the Wood Spirit Clan_2 It first looked towards Papa Mulang, who was currently standing beside Lin Jing, and then turned its gaze towards Lin Jing.

Following that,

the aged Wood Spirit directly spoke to Lin Jing:

“Esteemed Human Cultivator, please release our clan member.”

This Wood Spirit had the strongest aura among those present and was even capable of speaking human language; it must be the elderly clan leader.

However,

Lin Jing was not certain and needed to ask.

Thus, Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirit and then asked:

“And who might you be?”

The aged Wood Spirit then responded:

“I am the clan leader of the Wood Spirit tribe.”

After speaking, it pointed toward Papa Mulang beside Lin Jing and continued:

“This clan member is of great importance to our Wood Spirit tribe.

We sincerely hope that you can spare it, and our Wood Spirit tribe will be eternally grateful to you.”

“Otherwise, our Wood Spirit tribe would rather sacrifice our entire clan to keep you here.”

“We hope you will carefully consider this and avoid a situation where both sides suffer losses.”

Seeing that the attitude of the Wood Spirit clan leader was not good, but judging from his actions, Papa Mulang was indeed very important.

Otherwise,

the Wood Spirit clan leader would not have reacted in such a way.

Lin Jing, without further ado,

simply looked at the few Wood Spirits, especially at the clan leader, and said:

“I have no intention of being your enemy either.”

“However…”

“Before you ask me to release it, shouldn’t you first ask what it has done?”

Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit clan leader immediately turned to look at Papa Mulang.

Papa Mulang, like a child who had misbehaved, quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of the clan leader.

Immediately, the clan leader understood that it must have provoked Lin Jing first, which was why Lin Jing had captured it.

Following that,

the Wood Spirit clan leader’s expression became serious, and then he spoke out a strange syllable:

“Â¥%#…”

Papa Mulang, feeling somewhat ashamed, slowly raised his head.

Then, the same strange syllables also came out of its mouth.

Just like that, the two Wood Spirits began to communicate.

…

…

At first, only the Wood Spirit clan leader and Papa Mulang were communicating.

Latterly, the other few Wood Spirits beside the clan leader also joined the conversation.

Although Lin Jing could not understand them, he was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Until a quarter of an hour later, when the Wood Spirits had finished communicating.

After they were done, the Wood Spirit clan leader bowed to Lin Jing and then said:

“Esteemed Human Cultivator, I am truly sorry.”

“I have not disciplined my clan member properly, and for that, I apologize to you.”

After saying this, the Wood Spirit clan leader also gave a stern look to Papa Mulang beside Lin Jing, then added:

“Papa Mulang, apologize at once.”

Upon hearing this, Papa Mulang quickly bent at the waist and gave Lin Jing a bow, at the same time sending a telepathic message:

“I’m sorry!”

Soon after,

the Wood Spirit clan leader once again spoke to Lin Jing:

“Human Cultivator, the fault does indeed lie with my clan member.

I beg you to be magnanimous and spare it.”

Lin Jing, upon hearing this, looked at the Wood Spirit clan leader and answered directly:

“I can release it, but not right now.”

Hearing the first half of the sentence, the Wood Spirit clan leader was initially pleased, but the latter half made him freeze.

After a moment of silence, the Wood Spirit clan leader spoke again:

“I know that you have come here seeking the True Spirit of Wood.”

“You must have sensed the presence of the True Spirit of Wood within Papa Mulang.”

“However, the True Spirit of Wood has now fused with Papa Mulang and cannot be extracted at all.”

“Even if you did manage to forcefully remove the Wood Spirit from Papa Mulang’s body, it would surely die, and the fused True Spirit of Wood would also certainly dissipate.”

“The mistake was made by Papa Mulang.”
