Chapter 765 – Arrival Of The Powers And The Poor Minister Ting

A few days passed as the news about the Millennium Forest becoming independent continued to spread. By now, even the commoners knew about it and were very curious about it as well.

It was also the commoners who showed the most varied reactions, with some becoming very scared while some feeling excited about the new change. 

Lin Wu too kept tabs on it all and got regular information from his subordinates outside. Wang Xiong had sent out a few Frozen Cloud sect disciples to gather what the commoners and other powers around the Millennium forest were feeling about the change.

After getting these inputs, he would compile a report and sent it to Lin Mu regularly.

"At least they are taking it better than I thought…" Lin Wu said as he finished reading today's report.

He would get one every day since more and more people got to know about it. The news spread in an exponential manner and each day more people got to know of it. Lin Wu paid great attention to how this information was received as he didn't want it to be too negative either.

'If it was like that, I might have to make some other adjustments too…' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He looked at the several windows floating in front of him and lightly sighed.

"The day of the meeting is almost here… just two more days to go." Lin Wu muttered

He then gave out a few orders and monitored the progress on his screens. 

Two days quickly passed, and it was finally the day for the meeting.

At the western border of the millennium forest, a large group of people were currently waiting.

"Who else is left to come?" A man wearing the robes of a Ling Kingdom minister asked.

"According to our register, two powers are yet to arrive. The Lian clan informed us that they were sending people too, and they should be here soon enough. The other one that is left is the Ji clan." The attendant informed.

"The Lian clan and the Ji clan…" The minister repeated. 

He rubbed his head upon hearing these names. Both were very strong powers and could suppress their Ling Kingdom with ease. This was honestly the most stressful event that he was ever handling.

And this came as a minister of a major kingdom. He had to handle several kingdoms envoys as well as the clans that were heading.

Though he was thankful that not all of the top sects were coming today. If that happened, Minister Ting thought that he might just die from the stress.

'The Cang Lan Mountain Sect, The Frozen Cloud sect, The Solitary Blossom Sect and the Chan sects from the top sects. The mid tier sects from the three kingdoms, and finally the three great clans of the Long continent. Such group is already way above my ability to handle… how am I even supposed to do this all?' Minster Ting thought to himself.

According to the directives that Lin Wu had sent to the King of the Ling Kingdom through the crystal slip, all the powers that were arriving would have to head to the Ling Kingdom first. 

They were to enter through the path that went from the Deer Wood City. Thus, keeping this in mind, the king had informed all the powers of the directives. Thus, an agreement was made to gather all of the envoys here before heading into the forest together.

And this duty ultimately fell on Minister Ting. The King decided that since Minister Ting had already talked with the beasts before, he was the best for this job. Even though he was simply supposed to ensure that everyone was here and was not mistreated, it was a very stressful task.

Minister Ting gazed at the various envoys that were here at this moment. Some distance away from the minister stood a small tent. Underneath the tent sat the envoy from the Cang Lan sect, which was also the number 1 top sect of the Long continue.

Being the first rank meant that they had a great reputation and also power. But only one person had arrived from their sect who was none other than a middle aged elder. The elder was calmly sitting alone in the tent and meditated, not caring for anyone.

Left of the tent were a few more tents, housing the other top sects. But the biggest tent belonged to none other than the Frozen Cloud sect.

And the one attending was none other than Patriarch Bing himself. Accompanying him were his three chief disciples, who were the most calm here. 

Then on the left side stood an imposing man. He had not chosen any tent and had instead chosen to stand on his own. He had a fierce looking face and sword like eyebrows. His hair was deep blue in color and was the most different out of all here.

If not for the fact that his eyes were closed, he would probably make everyone shudder with just a look.

This was none other than the envoy from the Long Clan, which was also the greatest power of the Long continent. It could even be said that they were the unofficial rulers of the continent.

Perhaps if it were not for that fact that their duties as guardians prevented them from truly ruling the continent, the Long Continent might have turned into the Long Empire instead.

The Envoy of the Long clan had also come along like the envoy of the Cang Lan sect. Though the problem was that no one knew who this person was. If not for the fact that he had shown the official invitation documents, Minister Ting would have been confused as to who he was.

The aura he cage off was rather fierce too and made one avoid looking at him unconsciously.

~Shua~

And just as Minister Ting was taking a look at the people under his care, he could feel the waves of spirit Qi coming from the distance. 

"Look! It's the envoys from the Lian clan!" Some of the people working around spotted.

In addition to Minister Ting, there were a lot of other people to help him out as well as the people that would be attending the meeting. Without them, Minister Ting would never be able to do much.

These people were mostly from the Ling kingdom, though there were others from the Pale Marble Kingdom and Luguo kingdom as well.

Minister Ting looked in the distance and saw a golden palanquin flying through the air. The palanquin was filled with gems and carvings of various beasts and birds. It couldn't be seen who was riding within it, but from its size, it was safe to assume there were multiple people inside it.

The golden palanquin was large enough to fit an entire house inside it!

Or rather, it was best to say it was an entire house flying instead of a palanquin.

"Is that… the Golden Honor Palanquin?!" A disciple from a mid tier sect recognized.

"It really is that!"

"Wait… if the Golden Honor Palanquin is here, then doesn't that mean the one riding inside it is a direct heir of the Lian clan?" someone stated.

Hearing all this, the face of Minister Ting grimaced.

"Kill me…" he muttered to himself.

Soon, the Golden Palanquin reached their location and landed on the ground. Its doors opened and from it came out ten people. Three of them were dressed differently than the other seven, who were wearing the same outfit.

It was evident that the seven were servants of some kind while the three people were the actual envoys.

Though everyone's eyes were on a single person. 

"What is that…" someone muttered.

"Is that a man… or a fat ball?" another person wondered.

"SHUSH! Watch your tongue! Don't you feel the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from him!?" His companion warned him.

The others heard this too and focused on the spirit Qi fluctuations, understanding that they were rather strong, being at the Nascent soul realm.

'The fat man is in the Nascent soul realm…' they understood.

This person was, of course, none other than Lian Xiaojian and accompanying him were junior Elder Kai Li and Elder Ruanjian.

The other seven people were the attendants that junior Elder Kai Li had brought with her.

They approached Minister Ting, only making him feel more nervous.

"Greetings minister Ting, I am Junior Elder Kai Li of the Lian clan. Let me introduce you to our first Young master, and Elder Ruanjian." Kai Li spoke first.

Lian Xiaojian smiled and spoke, "thank you for having us over, Minister Ting. I am Lian Xiaojian." 

Hearing this, all the other people were surprised.

"Heavens! That's the first young master of the Lian clan?" 

"Whoa! I never thought he would be this… big…" 

There were various words being spoken by the people, clearly stunned by seeing him. But Lian Xiaojian didn't mind it at all. He was already used to it a long time ago.

"Humph!" but Elder Ruanjian couldn't do the same and let out a harrumph.

The sound was accompanied by his spirit Qi and pressured all those that were speaking in that moment. The power of a Dao Shell realm cultivator was displeased and immediately shut all of them up.

Kai Li smirked lightly and chuckled.

Minister Ting felt another headache approaching and decided to quickly tend to the situation.

"It's an honor having you here, Young Master Lian Xiaojian. Our Ling Kingdom will forever remember this. Please come with me. We'll show you some accommodations to wait in till others arrive.." Minister Ting quickly spoke.
