803 Alliance Funding And Interplane Travel

Lin Mu's thoughts were in line with that of King Hong's and they headed to the Hong Lin grove next. Though they ran into a little problem here, while they could travel in the Kong plane alone, the distances were a little too far.

Plus, the dangers made it so that they would have to be very careful. Not everyone could be like Lin Mu and be free to act as they want. Lin Mu not only had his cultivation and defenses, but he could also run away any time he wants and even escape the plane directly.

The same could not be said for the others.

Lin Mu himself could only teleport in and out of the Kong Plane, but he couldn't teleport around in the plane itself. Thus, if he wanted to get anywhere, he would have to either fly or walk there.

He at least had Little Shrubby for faster travel, but the same could not be said for the others.

"Just how far is it?" Jing Luo asked.

"About a day away with Little Shrubby's speed." Lin Mu spoke.

"That's far…" Jing Luo said.

"But I think we can get there even faster now. Three days was because we didn't know the layout. I now know where the places are. If we travel in a straight line, it shouldn't matter.

As for the beasts that appear, I can easily handle them." Lin Mu spoke.

"Hmm… that's better. But taking care of so many people will be problematic even for you." Jing Luo replied after thinking for a bit.

It was now that the others spoke.

"Senior Lin Mu, you can take King Hong alone. We can just return to the palace. Just seeing this much is enough for us. We simply wanted to see the inside of the rumored wandering sinkhole." The minister of War spoke.

"Yes, yes! There is no need for us to be a burden." The minister of Trade agreed.

"Plus, if we all are here, who will take care of the kingdom in our absence? What if something serious occurs?" Adviser Liu added.

"Hmm… that's indeed a problem. The communication jade slips don't reach here." Lin Mu agreed.

"Then it's best that we return. King Hong can accompany you." Adviser Liu stated.

"Alright, I'll take you all back." Lin Mu took a pause before continuing, "but not before taking some things along with you."

Hearing this, they were a bit confused, but then Lin Mu brought them to the vault.

"HEAVENS!" The ministers couldn't help but exclaim.

King Hong and Adviser Liu were the same and Jing Luo was looking at the metals and other materials like a hungry wolf.

"This is almost on the same level as the Jing clan's storage vault." Jing Luo said.

"Ah yes. I'll need your help in figuring out all that's here and what would be the best way to make use of it. There's a lot of spirit stones as well, though they are mostly of mid and low grade.

I haven't seen any peak grade spirit stones, though there are a few high grade ones here as well. All this will help us in our endeavors against the Northern Tribes and Gu Yao." Lin Mu replied.

Jing Luo's expression turned serious and he nodded.

"This will help a lot. Now we will have the resources and cash flow needed to deal with a large number of people. With this out alliance will actually have a financial backbone… at least for the time being." Jing Luo said.

Lin Mu nodded his head in agreement before giving the ministers some of the cultivation resources. These were not just for them, but also for other trustworthy and talented people that they knew.

Lin Mu needed the alliance to have a large number of strong cultivators and this would be one of the ways to strengthen it.

The Mu clan and the Fei clan already had their own ways of getting stronger thus, Lin Mu didn't need to worry much about them. And Jingming Shang had also taken over the business of the three clans that were exterminated and thus they had some fortune to rely on there.

Though Lin Mu had better hope for the upcoming allies in the form of the Noon Grass sect and the Long Cloud Alliance. The noon grass sect was something that would be more open to forming a closer relationship from what Lin Mu perceived but it was unknown how the Long cloud alliance would act.

Lin Mu expected that they would at least have a 'common foe' standpoint and would be willing to cooperate better. Though nothing could be said now for sure. PPlus,this all relied on the fact that Gu Yao did not have anyone that he controlled in the Long cloud alliance.

At least… not someone influential.

The ones that were going to need the most resources would be the Hong Lin Kingdom and the Hei corps. Though for Hei Corps, Lin Mu would need to establish contact with them again.

He was still in the blind about what had happened there and no news about Wu Hei was heard till now which made Lin Mu worried if something had happened to him.

Lin Mu quickly sent the ministers and adviser Liu back to the palace before heading back.

"I will make trips back to the place every four hours, that way if there is any important news we will know it." Lin Mu said.

"That will be for the best. It's good that you can leave and enter from any place, this will save a lot of time and effort." Jing Luo agreed.

"Mmhmm… now let's go." Lin Mu said and was just about to fly when he was interrupted.

"Wait a second, I got something perfect for this occasion." Jing Luo spoke, much to Lin Mu's intrigue.

"Oh? What is it?" Lin Mu questioned, feeling intrigued.

King Hong was the same and watched on as Jing Luo withdrew something from his spatial storage treasure.

~shua~

~thud~

"Behold!" Jing Luo presented a rather large item.
