813 The Noon Grass Sect Joins The Alliance

With the quick introductions done, Lin Mu got to explaining them about the alliance and why they had made it. Lin Mu simply expanded on what Hua San and Hua Wu had already told the elders about it.

"I never would have thought our suspicions would turn out to be this grave…" Elder Bolin stated.

This was the same elder who had driven the flying ruler and brought everyone here.

"Hmm… when the two alliances started to ask us to join us, I thought the worst. At least the Long cloud alliance reduced their attempts in recruiting us, but the Zither Wind Alliance has been incessant.

Even now, we keep on getting invitations to come to visit their sect. They are even providing free resources to us if we come to their sect and discuss the 'Dao'." Daoist Hua spoke.

"Huh? Discuss the Dao? As if they even know what 'Dao' is…" another elder scoffed.

"Mmhmm… there is no such thing as free in this world. Someone is always paying the price, if it's not you then it's the other person. But why would someone pay it for free, unless they have some other intentions?" Adviser Liu chimed in.

"Indeed. Elder Hua was wise to reject them. I fear if you accepted and went there, all those that went there might have been controlled by Gu Yao." Lin Mu stated.

~Sigh~

"That is what I fear… I've heard of the strange methods of the invaders of the past from my own elders. It was with great difficultly and sacrifice that they were removed from this world.

And now this… Gu Yao makes his own and created this situation. He is simply not worthy of living in the world." Daoist Hua said, after sighing to himself.

"Exactly, and that is why I want all of us to unite and fight against it. Will Daoist Hua and the Noon Grass sect join me in this endeavor?" Lin Mu asked sincerely.

Silence descended on the room as a pregnant pause took hold.

"Of course!" Daoist Hua said out loud, breaking the silence.

"Even if my Noon Grass sect does not participate in the matters of the world, and avoids most things, we know how to pick out battles. The current events are not something we can ignore.

After all, if we ignore them, we will perish in the same way people of the old did." Daoist Hua spoke.

~phew~

Lin Mu and the others on his side took breaths of relief after hearing this. Even though they knew that it was quite likely the Noon Grass sect might agree, there was still some uncertainty to it.

"Grandfather will be pleased when he hears this. I'm sure he'll like to meet you again, Elder Hua." Jing Luo spoke in agreement.

Daoist Hua's eyes went to the large man. Jing Luo had lost the wildness he had to him after getting his hair and beard in control. But there was still a little bit of valor in his eyes that was hard to hide.

"So you are senior Wei's grandson… are you Jing An's son? Or Jing Tan's son?" Daoist Hua asked.

"Jing An is my father, Elder Hua." Jing Luo replied.

"Ah… he was a good junior. Very talented too… I dread the day when the massacre of your clan happened. I would have liked to interfere, but the pressure from the other sects made it impossible to act." Daoist Hua said with a hint of empathy in his voice.

"It is not your fault, Elder Hua." Jing Luo said, his eyes softening. "Those that wronged us shall pay multiple folds… they think the Jing clan has been eradicated, but we will return… and when we do, we shall show them the power of the Jing clan!" Jing Luo said in a staunch voice.

"And I'll look forward to that day. The Jing clan has contributed greatly to the world and sacrificed a lot. It deserves the best position in the world." Daoist Hua praised.

Jing Luo and the rest smiled upon hearing this and nodded their heads.

"There is another thing I wanted to ask you, Elder Hua." Lin Mu suddenly spoke.

"What is it?" Elder Hua asked.

"Since you are of the older generation the same as Elder Jing Wei, you must know of the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators in our world, right?" Lin Mu questioned.

Hearing this, the eyes of Elder Hua narrowed.

"I have some understanding of them. My Noon Grass sect has existed around the same time as that of the Sky Precepts sect, Rainbow Pill sect, and the Centennial sword sect. Even if we never had an Immortal ascension realm cultivator of our own, we do know about them." Elder Hua Answered.

"Then I need to ask you just how many of them are there in the Great Zhou continent." Lin Mu asked.

Even if he knew that there were three of them, Lin Mu wanted to know what was the actual information that the sects knew.

"Hmm… from what I know, the top three sects all have one Immortal Ascension realm cultivator of their own.

The one from the Sky Precepts sect has been in seclusion for over two thousand years and has not appeared since the last great war.

The one from the Rainbow pill sect should be in seclusion as well, but there is a chance he might have come out, seeing as how the Rainbow Pill sect is taking some serious decisions lately and cooperating with the Empire.

As for the Centennial sword sect… I don't know. The cultivators from the Centennial sword sect are a bunch of sword obsessed fools that know just to swing swords and fight each other.

Their ancestor is far too strong and has no one in the world he can compare his swordsmanship to. Thus, he entered the seclusion and said that he will only come out when he senses someone worthy of him coming out.

Though if he does come out… we will know. He is the one that likes to show off the most and will make his presence known." Daoist Hua explained.
