Yun Bai was used to hearing people speak badly about Demon beasts. This was most common among the humans and he could count on one hand, that knew as much about demon beasts as Lin Wu did right now.
'He knows a lot more than I expected… that's a good sign.' Yun Bai thought to himself.
"So how is it that a Demon beast like you became a Guardian beast of this sect?" Lin Wu couldn't help but question.
"It happened a long time ago… back then, the Frozen Cloud sect did not exist." Yun Bai spoke.
"The Frozen Cloud Sect didn't exist?! Just how long ago are we talking about, because the sect is over two thousand years old now." Ye Jin couldn't help but be doubtful.
"Hmm… a little over 2500 years ago I suppose." Yun Bai answered.
"2500 years… how are you alive? No, wait… what's the cultivation base of Guardian Yun?" Ye Jin asked and then realized that she should not have done that.
Asking seniors like Yun Bai about this cultivation base could be taken as offensive and rude.
"I want to know that too… how can a Shell expansion stage Dao Shell realm being live for over two thousand years?" Lin Wu asked.
This helped Ye Jin, since the question was coming from Lin Wu as well, and he mentioned Yun Bai's cultivation base as well. This helped her judge since most Dao Shell realm cultivators and beasts could only live up to two thousand years.
This was their peak lifespan, and very few actually reached it. Most of them would die many years or centuries before that, too many factors such as being killed by others, cultivation problems, and a myriad of other problems that plagued the cultivators.
It was rare for someone to live up to their full lifespan and even rarer for someone to exceed it without actually breaking through.
~Sigh~
"It's due to me being a Demon beast. Some of us can have longer lifespans than humans and beasts." Yun Bai said, but his tone seemed to be a bit sad. "Though… it also comes with its flaws." He added.
"Like what?" Lin Wu asked.
"That is actually what I wanted to meet you for." Yun Bai replied.
Lin Wu gazed at his mask and could feel the actual desire that the man had. It was hidden underneath a cold demeanor and wanted something from Lin Wu. He didn't know how he could feel it, but he still could.
"You want me to help you leave this planet, don't you?" Lin Wu questioned.
Hearing this Wang Xiong and Ye Jin were confused. They didn't understand the term that Lin Wu had just used.
"Indeed. Living on this planet is not suitable for me… or my clan. Seems like that… formation spirit told you about it." Yun Bai answered.
"Indeed. I control it so, I'll know everything that occurs in the forest." Lin Wu said, just to pressure the man a bit more.
"Hmm… I made a deal with it to act if there was anything strong that appeared in the forest. I know you were in some kind of seclusion and wanted it to act as extra protection." Yun Bai stated.
"And you certainly fulfilled your end of the bargain." Lin Wu nodded.
"So you're here to satisfy your end of the agreement?" Yun Bai asked.
"Perhaps… we'll see if it's viable first. There are many factors that come into leaving this place… but we'll talk about that in private." Lin Wu said as he took a look at the two subordinates.
"W-we'll give you some privacy seniors!" Wang Xiong horridly said.
He knew there were things that he shouldn't know or was not supposed to know. Some were secret because they could be harmful to others while some were secret just for the sake of it.
He quickly took Ye Jin and retreated to the corner of the area, while Yun Bai quickly set up an isolating field around him and Lin Wu with the flick of his hand.
Ye Jin couldn't help but feel incredibly curious about it all and didn't know what to do.
"Just who is he exactly, Wang Xiong?" Ye Jin asked.
~Sigh~
"If it's come to this, I guess I can tell you more." Wang Xiong replied. "The things that he said right now are something even I didn't know. But there is other information I know of."
"And what's that?" She probed.
"Guardian Yun is, as you've heard, the guardian of the Frozen Cloud sect. He has been so since the start of the sect. He helped the first patriarch of the sect and also the founder to create the sect.
All the techniques and skills that we use today, including our original cultivation techniques… all come from him." Wang Xiong revealed.
"What!? Is that why he knows the signature technique of patriarch?" Ye Jin said in shock.
"Indeed. He is technically the teacher of all the patriarchs of the sect that have existed till now. He is also older than any of our sect ancestors, including the ones that have been in seclusion since the last thousand years." Wang Xiong said, confusing Ye Jin.
"But… that doesn't make sense. If he's that old, then… how's his cultivation base only at the Dao Shell realm? If it's like that, then he should have been at the Dao Treading realm at the very least, shouldn't he?" Ye Jin said, feeling doubtful.
"That is something I don't know either and have not been informed of. I was introduced to Guardian Yun by the Patriarch and was told to go to him if I had some problems. The duty of Guardian Yun is to handle external problems that can threaten the existence of the sect.
While I can't ask him to interfere in our internal matters, such as the conflict between the three divisions, he can still act if there are greater problems. It was one of the reasons why I asked him to head to the millennium forest during the mission, just in case something problematic happened.." Wang Xiong revealed.
