Shirong did not want to necessarily tell the other people about the conflict in his clan. After all, it was not good to wash out dirty linens in the public. Even if his siblings and he had a conflict, it had to be kept in the clan.
But now that they had started attacks like this which were leaning on the side of open, Shirong was desiring to strike back in the same manner.
He walked back to his courtyard silently, his face calm and not a single wave of emotion could be seen on it. But on the inside, a sea of fury was roiling and a storm of malice was forming.
Lin Wu on the other hand, also thinking about the memories he had obtained from Elder Pei. When he had killed her, his aim was nothing but to get the memories. He knew that even if they captured her alive, there was a chance she won't answer anything and just kill herself.
If she did that he would still have a chance to get the memories, but it would be hard to do that openly. Another thing was that she was close to excavating by teleporting, thus he had no choice but to do this.
Lin Wu learned what was actually happening from her memories.
'So this Minister Du Yang is being ordered by some of Shirong's brothers huh… not one but three of them, they formed an alliance and the eldest one of them is going to be the heir if they succeed while the other two get high positions.
The thing that Elder Pei did with the Lu Clan, stealing the documents and trade secrets, was something that was done out of greed, rather than as the main aim. Even Minister Du Yang wanted a cut of the cake and thus prodded her on to do it even more.' Lin Wu thought.
Shirong reached his courtyard and sat down to cultivate for a bit. He stopped when the food arrived and he ate it with gusto. One could see that his body was faintly growing in size as he ate the food. Even Lin Wu saw it and figured that he should be back to his normal condition after a week or so.
Shirong had already transformed Lin Wu, who was in the form of an armor back to the spear form and kept it to the side. Seeing that there wasn't going to be much done here, Lin Wu initiated cultivating in his main body and moved his consciousness to the avatar.
~huu~
Lin Wu let out a breath as he felt the difference in power.
~Ding~
——
AVATAR CULTIVATION: Late Stage of the Core Condensation Realm.
-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [10000/24000] units (liquid spirit qi)
——
"So it has already reached the same level as my main body… need to upgrade my main body to let it proceed ahead." Lin Wu said to himself.
His aim was to have both the bodies at a similar stage so that whenever he had a problem, there would be a greater chance for him to solve him. He was now going to do something which he had been planning for since the start.
Lin Wu wanted to switch the main body with the avatar. That way Shirong would have his avatar as the spear while he would be free to cultivate here on his own. He didn't do it straight away though, he wanted to verify that everything was fine in the other places with his subordinates and servants so that he wouldn't be disturbed.
He scrolled through the screens and found the two bird beasts eating some beast corpses. They had made a nest at the top of the tomb and it was quite large too. Because no one dared to come near the tomb, the two were having a lot of fun.
They had become the overlord of the area in the past few days, and any beast that dared to come close was killed and eaten by them. Overall, they were enjoying their life more than ever.
"Should I give them some orders? Is it bad just leaving them like this?" Lin Wu wondered.
"Hmm… yes let's send them on some work. They will get fat like this… Hehe." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
~ahem~ahem~
Lin Wu cleared his thorough and took a deep breath.
"YOU TWO COME HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Lin Wu shouted in their minds.
~thud~
~flinch~
The two beasts were startled by the sudden shouting and became scared.
"YES MASTER! WE'RE COMING!" The two of the said before hurriedly coming to the top entrance of the cave.
As soon as they landed on the floor, they were teleported into an inner hall. Lin Wu had set it up this way to let them come whenever they needed, just in case someone attacked the tomb.
"Eh-when did you return, master?" The Sparrow beast questioned.
"That is not important. What's important is you two have been slacking. Now go and search for resources for me while also checking the situation in the area." Lin Wu ordered.
"Ye-yes master!" The two bird beasts replied before flying away.
"Now this feels better somehow…" Lin Wu said to himself after the two beasts were set to work.
Lin Wu didn't necessarily want the resources for himself, but rather for the organization he would be creating. He knew that for an organization to be strong, it needed strong members. And for that, they would definitely need a ton of resources.
After all, the reason why everyone wanted to join cultivation sects was because of resources.
While Lin Wu could help them with his own abilities, there was still a limit to it and when their numbers increased, it simply wouldn't be possible for him to do the same for everyone. Thus he thought that it would be best if he started the gathering of resources from the very start.
A plan formed in Lin Mu's mind as the Millennium forest became the base of his operations that supplied him with countless resources.
"MUHAHAHAHA!"
