<h4>Chapter 707 - Meeting King Hong </h4>


    "Pardon me seniors, but the presence of any additional guests needs to be informed to the King." The guards that were standing outside the courtroom blocked their path.


    Hua Wu furrowed his brows, but Hua San took the lead.


    "That is fine, we shall go talk with the king first and then invite senior in." Hua San spoke.


    "That’s fine with me. I’ll wait here." Lin Mu replied.


    The guards also nodded to this and watched as Hua San and Hua Wu entered the courtroom.


    <i>~Rumble~</i>


    Therge doors of the royal court made a slightly high sound that spread throughout the entire courtroom. One could tell that the doors were not normal and were made from some high quality materials.


    They were also heavy and sturdy, able to withstand attacks of Core condensation realm cultivators and even Nascent soul realm cultivator if push came to shove. Of course to Lin Mu, this might be nothing, since he could use skills to get in. He still wanted to get in through the front part to show sincerity.


    The door closed the moment Hua San and Hua Wu entered the courtroom and no sounds could be hearding from inside there. The guards who were standing near Lin Mu were sweating in their boots.


    They didn’t know what would the king be talking about to them and whether this was even appropriate.


    Usually, themon public ended up waiting several weeks, if not months, to get a chance to talk to the King, but now Lin Mu was just getting an express pass.


    Lin Mu of course, didn’t just stay still there and used his spirit sense to probe the room. And just as he had expected, the room was covered in a separateyer of formations that protected the king and prevented spirit senses froming closer.


    "Oh? They are indeed talking to the king alright. And even the king’s uncle is here already." Lin Mu muttered to himself upon seeing the scene inside the royal court.


    While Lin Mu couldn’t hear what they were saying, he could kind of guess based on their lip movement and body postures.


    Overall the expression of Hua San and Hua Wu were normal throughout the short conversation, but those of the king and his uncles were changing. At first, they were surprised, then became calm and when they heard the words of the two disciples, they became even more shocked.


    The King gestured them to stop with his hand and said something to them while pointing to the door.


    "Ah, seems like this is it for my turn..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.


    <i>~Rumble~</i>


    The door of the royal court opened up again, but this time it was opened by Hua San and Hua Wu.


    "The king is calling senior in," Hua San informed.


    "Very well. It won’t be good to leave him waiting." Lin Mu said and walked into the court under the eyes of several guards.


    Only when Lin Mu had fully entered the royal court did they take breaths of relief. To them, if Lin Mu were to be a bad person who came to kill the king, they would have a very hard time battling him.


    At most, they might serve as cannon fodder while the king himself escapes. Though they also recalled that there was the king’s advisor and also uncle waiting to help him out in case of trouble.

    "Wee to the royal court of the Hong Lin kingdom," The king’s uncle spoke.


    Lin Mu took a look at the man and also the king. While the king had a normal expression, Lin Mu could see the fine tremors in his body.


    ’Hmm... while he is a bit unnerved, he is still observing.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.


    And while Lin Wu was observing them, the king was doing the same.


    ’While they already said that the help they got was stronger than them, I didn’t expect it to be someone at such a high cultivation base...’ The king thought to himself.


    As a king, he couldn’t let his weaker emotions be shown to the public, lest it just bes more problematic.


    "It is nice to meet his majesty, Hong Qiqiang. I am Lin Mu." He introduced himself.


    The king looked at Lin Mu deeply and took a breath himself before speaking.


    "So senior’s name is Lin Mu. It is an honor to meet you." The King also said with a bit more respect than others.


    He could tell that Lin Mu was stronger just from looking at him, as the pressure and aura radiating off him were on apletely different level.


    And while the king wondered about Lin Mu’s strength, his uncle focused on the name.


    ’Lin Mu? That seems familiar...’ The king’s uncle thought.


    "Sect master Hua’s two disciples say that they have a proposal for us?" The King questioned.


    "Indeed, King Hong. I along with my otherpanion are willing to help the king safely breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm. We will be getting the tribtion attenuation tform ready for you." Lin Mu answered.


    Hearing the words directly from Lin Mu’s lips, the king and his uncles were astounded to say the least. While they had indeed asked for help from Hua San and Hua Wu, they had not expected it toe this quick.


    "King Hong doesn’t need to worry now. Senior Jing Luo is highly proficient in formations and will be able to set up the tform in just a few days." Hua Wu chimed in.


    The king furrowed his brows and looked at his uncle.


    "Since it is you two vouching for brother Lin Mu, I guess I can believe it." The king’s uncle stated.


    "Fear not. You will get to see the tribtion attenuation tform with your own two eyes and can actually confirm that it works." Lin Mu said. "Besides... from what I can tell, King Hong still has about twenty three days till the time for his heavenly tribtion arrives.." Lin Mu stated, surprising the king and his uncle as well.
