?Chapter 699: Chapter 305: Negotiations Concluded, Wood Spirit Clears the Way Chapter 699: Chapter 305: Negotiations Concluded, Wood Spirit Clears the Way Lin Jing nodded upon hearing this:
“Please speak…”
The Wood Spirit chieftain looked at Lin Jing, then spoke directly,
“Firstly…”
“Baba Mulang can stay by your side as a hostage, but we need to send two people to follow you at all times to ensure you do not harm Baba Mulang.”
Lin Jing thought for a moment, then nodded and said,
“That’s acceptable!”
“However…”
“You can send your people to follow us, but they must not get too close, and they must not attempt to take Baba Mulang away.”
“Should there be any attempt to forcefully take Baba Mulang before I leave the Wood Element Realm, I will immediately detonate the power within Baba Mulang’s body.”
“At that time, his death is certain, and a war between me and your Wood Spirit clan is inevitable.”
“Fine.”
“Before you leave this place, our other clansmen will not approach you, nor will they try to forcefully take Baba Mulang.”
Although the expression of the Wood Spirit chieftain was displeased, he nodded in agreement.
Lin Jing nodded, then asked,
“What’s your second condition?”
The Wood Spirit chieftain spoke directly,“Our second condition is that you must leave here as soon as possible, not using this as a pretext to linger in this realm.”
“Baba Mulang also needs to return to his clan soon.”
Lin Jing nodded and said,
“That’s naturally not a problem.”
“There seems to be nothing of interest here, anyway.”
“If possible, I would even appreciate your help in clearing the obstacles along the way to speed up my departure.”
No sooner had Lin Jing spoken than the Wood Spirit chieftain replied,
“Leave that to us.”
“Since you wish to leave quickly, that’s exactly what we would hope for.”
“Rest assured, with your word, we will not let you encounter any hindrance along the way.”
“We just hope that before you leave, you will also gladly remove the power embedded in Baba Mulang’s body.”
Lin Jing nodded:
“That’s no problem.
As soon as we are near the Teleportation Array, I will immediately remove the power left inside Baba Mulang’s body and let him go.”
The Wood Spirit chieftain glanced at Lin Jing, then continued,
“One last thing, it’s not so much a condition as a question.”
“I’d like to ask how many people you’ve brought with you this time, and what their capabilities are?”
“I’m asking not because I wish to do anything, but because I don’t want to entangle too much with you Cultivators from the outside.”
“I just want to safeguard my people.”
After listening, Lin Jing spoke directly,
“Five people.”
“And each of them is stronger than me.”
Having said this, Lin Jing again asked the Wood Spirit chieftain,
“Do you know if anyone came here before me?”
The Wood Spirit chieftain nodded and said,
“Our people control the entire Wood Realm.
Any little movement cannot escape our eyes.”
“Before you, there were already two people who arrived in this Wood Realm.”
“And…”
“Upon arriving here, after identifying their bearings, they soon left, not lingering here long.”
“And you are the third to arrive in this Wood Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing quickly understood.
Presumably, those who had left were the elder of the Yan Family and Bai Yi.
As for Li Mingwu and the Dragon Taoist, they had been in quite a predicament after startling the golden giant turtle.
Even if they escaped the golden giant turtle and seized the chance to reach that deep pit, they would probably be at a loss.
They might still be searching for the mastermind who had stolen the Metallic Attribute of the Five Elements’ Spirit, not arriving so quickly.
????0.??
Having clarified all this, Lin Jing then continued,
“You should be cautious about the remaining two people.”
“They are not simple characters, and both have strong Cultivation.”
“If you don’t want conflict with them, I advise you to hide as much as possible and avoid contact.”
Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit chieftain frowned and said,
“Are you saying they might pose a threat to us?”
Lin Jing nodded:
“Based on my understanding of them, that is very likely.”
“And they are the kind who will not stop until they achieve their goal.”
“If they learn that Baba Mulang carries the Wood Attribute Spirit, they will definitely do everything to take it.”
After hearing this, the Wood Spirit chieftain furrowed his brow and said,
“If that’s the case, we might have to lure them near that Demonic Tree…”
“Demonic Tree?”
“The one you mentioned, is it dangerous?”
Lin Jing asked the Wood Spirit chieftain.
The Wood Spirit chieftain nodded:
“In the center of the Wood Realm, there is a Demonic Tree a thousand zhang tall, extremely formidable.
Although it has some spiritual intelligence, it is utterly unreasonable and has exterminated all living beings within a thousand li around it, leaving not even a blade of grass.”
“Even our clansmen dare not get too close to that Demonic Tree.”
“As long as they enter the range of that Demonic Tree, it wouldn’t be easy for those two to escape.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s eyes darted about, then he suddenly had an idea and directly said to the Wood Spirit chieftain,
“I do have a plan…”
“But I’m not sure what you think of it?”
The Wood Spirit chieftain looked puzzled at Lin Jing, then said,
“What’s the plan, please tell…”
Lin Jing then, from his Space Ring, took out a piece of cloth with a trace of aura on it.
This was the corner of Lin Jing’s robe marked by the Dragon Taoist.
After taking out that corner of the robe, Lin Jing said to the Wood Spirit chieftain,
“This belonged to one of those two people I mentioned.”
“It has their trace left on it.”
“If they try to search for Wood Spirits, you can use this piece of cloth to draw them into that dangerous area.”
