Chapter 698

?Chapter 698: Chapter 304 Negotiations with the Wood Spirit Clan_2 Chapter 698: Chapter 304 Negotiations with the Wood Spirit Clan_2 It first looked towards Papa Mulang, who was currently standing beside Lin Jing, and then turned its gaze towards Lin Jing.

Following that,

the aged Wood Spirit directly spoke to Lin Jing:

“Esteemed Human Cultivator, please release our clan member.”

This Wood Spirit had the strongest aura among those present and was even capable of speaking human language; it must be the elderly clan leader.

However,

Lin Jing was not certain and needed to ask.

Thus, Lin Jing looked at the Wood Spirit and then asked:

“And who might you be?”

The aged Wood Spirit then responded:

“I am the clan leader of the Wood Spirit tribe.”

After speaking, it pointed toward Papa Mulang beside Lin Jing and continued:

“This clan member is of great importance to our Wood Spirit tribe.

We sincerely hope that you can spare it, and our Wood Spirit tribe will be eternally grateful to you.”

“Otherwise, our Wood Spirit tribe would rather sacrifice our entire clan to keep you here.”

“We hope you will carefully consider this and avoid a situation where both sides suffer losses.”

Having said this, the Wood Spirit clan leader bowed deeply to Lin Jing.

Seeing that the attitude of the Wood Spirit clan leader was not good, but judging from his actions, Papa Mulang was indeed very important.

Otherwise,

the Wood Spirit clan leader would not have reacted in such a way.

Lin Jing, without further ado,

simply looked at the few Wood Spirits, especially at the clan leader, and said:

“I have no intention of being your enemy either.”

“However…”

“Before you ask me to release it, shouldn’t you first ask what it has done?”

Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit clan leader immediately turned to look at Papa Mulang.

Papa Mulang, like a child who had misbehaved, quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet the eyes of the clan leader.

Immediately, the clan leader understood that it must have provoked Lin Jing first, which was why Lin Jing had captured it.

Following that,

the Wood Spirit clan leader’s expression became serious, and then he spoke out a strange syllable:

“Â¥%#…”

Papa Mulang, feeling somewhat ashamed, slowly raised his head.

Then, the same strange syllables also came out of its mouth.

Just like that, the two Wood Spirits began to communicate.

…

…

At first, only the Wood Spirit clan leader and Papa Mulang were communicating.

Latterly, the other few Wood Spirits beside the clan leader also joined the conversation.

Although Lin Jing could not understand them, he was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Until a quarter of an hour later, when the Wood Spirits had finished communicating.

After they were done, the Wood Spirit clan leader bowed to Lin Jing and then said:

“Esteemed Human Cultivator, I am truly sorry.”

“I have not disciplined my clan member properly, and for that, I apologize to you.”

After saying this, the Wood Spirit clan leader also gave a stern look to Papa Mulang beside Lin Jing, then added:

“Papa Mulang, apologize at once.”

Upon hearing this, Papa Mulang quickly bent at the waist and gave Lin Jing a bow, at the same time sending a telepathic message:

“I’m sorry!”

Soon after,

the Wood Spirit clan leader once again spoke to Lin Jing:

“Human Cultivator, the fault does indeed lie with my clan member.

I beg you to be magnanimous and spare it.”

Lin Jing, upon hearing this, looked at the Wood Spirit clan leader and answered directly:

“I can release it, but not right now.”

Hearing the first half of the sentence, the Wood Spirit clan leader was initially pleased, but the latter half made him freeze.

After a moment of silence, the Wood Spirit clan leader spoke again:

“I know that you have come here seeking the True Spirit of Wood.”

“You must have sensed the presence of the True Spirit of Wood within Papa Mulang.”

“However, the True Spirit of Wood has now fused with Papa Mulang and cannot be extracted at all.”

“Even if you did manage to forcefully remove the Wood Spirit from Papa Mulang’s body, it would surely die, and the fused True Spirit of Wood would also certainly dissipate.”

“The mistake was made by Papa Mulang.”

“Our Wood Spirit clan sincerely apologizes to you.”

“But if you truly intend to extract the Wood Spirit from Baba Mulang’s body, then we of the Wood Spirit clan will surely fight you to the death,”

As the Wood Spirit Patriarch’s voice fell, the few behind him also stepped forward to show their determination.

It appeared that this Baba Mulang that Lin Jing had captured was indeed very important to the Wood Spirit clan.

If Lin Jing killed it, he would likely find it difficult to take a single step in the Wood Element Realm.

At this moment.

The Wood Spirit Patriarch spoke again:

“If you can let Baba Mulang go, our Wood Spirit clan will certainly thank you handsomely,”

After hearing this, Lin Jing directly said to the Wood Spirit Patriarch:

“I can let Baba Mulang go, but only when I leave the Wood Element Realm, otherwise it is impossible…”

“If I really let it go now, who knows if your Wood Spirit clan will go back on your word and retaliate again?”

“Only by keeping it by my side do I remain safe.”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the Wood Spirit Patriarch’s gaze turned grim:

“Do you actually intend to threaten our clansmen?”

“I just said, if you are willing to spare Baba Mulang, our Wood Spirit clan will certainly not trouble you, and will even present you with a grand gift,”

“This promise, I assure you as the Patriarch of the Wood Spirit clan.”

The Patriarch spoke solemnly.

After finishing, the Patriarch once again looked at Lin Jing with cold eyes:

“If you take Baba Mulang away, keeping it with you, who knows if you will take the opportunity to extract the true Wood Spirit from within him?”

Lin Jing, hearing this, looked directly at the Wood Spirit Patriarch and said:

“I am keeping Baba Mulang by my side only to ensure my own safety; I have no intention of taking its Wood Spirit.”

Facing Lin Jing’s statement, the Wood Spirit Patriarch seemed unconvinced:

“You cultivators from outside come here for the true Wood Spirit, and now the opportunity is right before you.

?????.??

I do not believe that you can resist temptation?”

“Keeping Baba Mulang by your side, I cannot rest assured.”

“Just let Baba Mulang go, and our Wood Spirit clan will not break our word.”

The Wood Spirit Patriarch after saying this, waited a moment, seeing no intention from Lin Jing to release the captive.

The look in his eyes became hostile immediately.

And the Wood Attribute Spiritual Power around him became more active.

The other Wood Spirits beside the Patriarch, upon seeing this, also lifted their root-like staves, similarly gathering massive amounts of Wood Attribute Spiritual Power around themselves.

For a while.

All of the momentum was directed at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing’s brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at the Wood Spirit Patriarch.

He also grabbed Baba Mulang into his hand.

However, Lin Jing had only intended to protect himself.

If he truly came into conflict with the Wood Spirit clan, that was not what Lin Jing desired.

Therefore.

Lin Jing extended his hand, gathering a mass of Five-Colored Aurora, facing the Wood Spirit Patriarch.

He then directly spoke to the Wood Spirit Patriarch:

“I presume you are aware that we Human Cultivators need the true essence of Wood to advance to the Solidifying Body Realm.”

“I possess all Five Elements within me; I do not need the true essence of the Five Elements to advance to the Solidifying Body Realm.”

“I’ve said before, this true essence of Wood is not so important to me, I am only keeping it by my side to avoid your clan’s potential treachery.”

“If you really don’t trust us, then we will just have to end up destroying each other.”

After saying this, Lin Jing’s grip on Baba Mulang tightened.

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, not only the Wood Spirit Patriarch but also the other Wood Spirits beside him fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the Wood Spirits beside the Patriarch began to communicate with each other in strange, archaic tones that Lin Jing could not understand.

Their discussion was very intense.

It seemed there were two sides, holding different opinions, arguing vehemently.

Yet the Wood Spirit Patriarch did not participate.

It was not until a period that felt as long as the burning of an incense stick that both sides seemed to have reached an agreement.

Afterward, one of the Wood Spirits spoke at length to the Patriarch.

Then.

After listening, the Patriarch nodded his head.

He then said to Lin Jing:

“You may keep Baba Mulang by your side for now.”

“However…”

“We have several demands that you must agree to.”

“Otherwise, we will have no choice but to wage war on you.”
