Wang Xiong's words were enough to catch everyone's attention, including the guards that were standing at the doors.
After all, in the past two years, the millennium Forest Kingdom had become a powerhouse in itself. While it wasn't at the same level as that of the top clans, it was already someone the top sects considered to be their equals.
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the Lian clan and the Millennium Forest Kingdom was intentionally kept hidden, the ranking of the kingdom might be even higher.
The one thing the Millennium Forest Kingdom was now well known for was its massive supply of spirit fruits and herbs. But people often forgot about the other crops that were also being grown there.
Right from the most basic rice and wheat all the way to seasonal vegetable.
There was a rumor that the King of the forest liked human food a lot and thus liked to cultivate such crops. It didn't help that the humans with occupations such as chefs and cooks were actually given some benefits when they came to the forest to teach.
Now that Wang Xiong had stated the name of the forest, the people present here finally realized it.
"Does Chief Disciple Wang Xiong meant to ask help from the beasts of the Millennium forest?" one of the kings asked.
"No… not just the beasts. The king of the Millennium Forest Kingdom… King Lin Wu himself." Wang Xiong stated.
"King Lin Wu!" The people were a bit awed by that name
The king of the millennium forest was now viewed as someone strong by mysterious. Only a few people had seen him and a few such people were present right here.
"But will King Lin Wu help us? Wasn't he said to be in seclusion?" The King of the White Loom Kingdom questioned.
"He will help us… though it won't be for free." Wang Xiong answered.
The kings pursed their lips and wondered what to do from here. Some of them couldn't help but look towards Patriarch Bing and the people from the Chan sect.
Both of them were parties who had met Lin Wu in person before and knew more than the other kings. Even the patriarch and elders of the Dark Plains sect had not seen or met Lin Wu before, thus being in disadvantage.
They actually regretted that they had not sent an envoy back when Lin Wu had given an open invitation. The Chan sect had been their rival for a long time and certainly gained some benefits from the deals with the millennium Forest kingdom.
Patriarch Bing took a breath and raised his head to padres the people's questioning gazes.
"King Lin Wu can be asked to help. But do not forget that he is still a king, and a beast. So far all that he has done... all the trades with humans, opportunities, and more… they are all done with benefits in mind.
On one hand, it is a clear display that we will not be cheated, but you also cannot expect him to do it free for you." Patriarch Bing stated his opinion.
Wang Xiong's lips twisted a bit in displeasure, but he hid it quickly.
"I agree with patriarch Bing's words. It is said that King Lin Wu is long lived and certainly has more experience than all of us here. While he might not do it for free, I do not think he will fail us." The patriarch of the Chan sect stated.
"That is right. King Lin Wu is a great senior and has been on this world longer than all of us." Wang Xiong said, surprising everyone.
"What?!" They were stunned.
While they all knew of the power of the beast king, they didn't know this fact at all.
"Is that true?" the patriarch of the Dark Plains sect questioned.
"I swear upon the heavens and my cultivation base as a guarantee that it is the truth!" Wang Xiong said without hesitation.
~SHUA~
A heavy pressure descended on everyone for a moment and quickly disappeared. All of the people present here knew what a heavenly oath entailed and knew how serious Wang Xiong was.
"So it is true…" Today, another set of powers found out more about the mystery of the Beast King.
For a few minutes, there was silence in the hall, while they all processed their information. They knew that there was someone who could help us, but they also needed to consider the price they would have to pay for it.
They didn't mind the cost either, or rather they preferred that there was some cost to the help. That way, they wouldn't need to worry about some other schemes or plots being hatched in exchange for free favors.
"Considering the reputation that the Millennium Forest Kingdom has built, and the identity of King Lin Wu… I reckon we should ask for his assistance." The King of the Peony Plains kingdom was the first to submit.
His kingdom was in the most dangerous situation, after all.
"The Zhan Kingdom agrees with this!" The King of the Zhan Kingdom quickly spoke up.
"The White Loom Kingdom favors this too!"
"Us too!"
One by one, all the kingdoms joined in the decision and gave their approval.
"The Chan sect and Dark Plains sect will oblige as well."
Now the only party left was the Frozen Cloud sect. But their status on this matter was already set from the start.
"Alright. As the one presiding over this matter, I give it my approval. King Lin Wu of the millennium forest kingdom shall be contacted as soon as possible and a request shall be sent.
And after we get a reply from the king, we shall inquire about the cost and how it shall be paid." Patriarch Bing stated firmly.
Seeing that things had gone well, Wang Xiong smiled.
'I've done my part here, Senior. Your predictions were correct… they do need you, after all." Wang Xiong thought to himself.
