Chapter 3564: The Shocked Huli Siblings
Daoist Chu chuckled.
"That certainly helps unify relations."
Miyeon nodded.
"It did."
"Because the Frost Fox beasts already ruled the Eastern Prism Sky Continent, the Frost Foxkin clan was formally recognized as the governing lineage of that land."
Lin Mu nodded slowly.
"So the continent was essentially entrusted to them."
"Correct."
"But the Frost Foxkin clan themselves do not control everything directly."
Huli Zu explained further.
"The Frost Fox beasts still dominate most of the continent’s population."
"And there are many mixed blood descendants as well."
"These groups help manage agriculture, settlements, and resource gathering."
Miyeon added.
"So even though the Frost Foxkin themselves number only around two thousand, they still have more than enough loyal population to manage the entire continent."
Lin Mu could not help but marvel slightly. It was a fascinating system. A small ruling clan supported by a vast network of related beast populations.
"I would like to see them someday," Lin Mu said thoughtfully.
"The Frost Foxkin and the Frost Fox beasts that can transform."
Miyeon nodded politely.
"That would not be difficult."
"The Eastern Prism Sky Continent is open to visitors."
"If you wish to travel there later, arrangements can be made."
Lin Mu gave a small nod.
"Perhaps after our current journey."
Eventually the conversation shifted toward another topic.
Lin Mu carefully guided it.
"What about other races?" he asked.
"We have discussed foxkin and humans."
"But are there others living in this world?"
Miyeon answered first.
"Humans arrived much later than the foxkin."
"They gradually migrated here over the tens of thousands of years."
Huli Zu added.
"However, the Fox Scion World is located in a relatively remote region of the Eastern Immortal Court. So it was never a major destination for large migration waves."
Miyeon continued.
"Most humans who settled here did so for specific reasons. Some had nowhere else to go. Others preferred the opportunity to start fresh in a new world."
Daoist Chu nodded.
"That is quite common in frontier worlds."
Meng Bai then asked curiously.
"What about other races? Like elves?" He guided the conversation exactly in the way Lin Mu wanted.
Miyeon nodded slightly.
"Elves do visit occasionally. Mostly for trade. They bring rare herbs, immortal woods, and other materials."
"But they do not live here permanently."
Lin Mu listened carefully.
"And dwarves?"
Huli Zu scratched his head.
"I cannot say I have heard of any dwarven groups here forget settlements."
Miyeon added thoughtfully.
"However, dwarven craftsmanship does appear here from time to time."
Lin Mu’s interest sharpened slightly.
"Oh?"
"Yes," Miyeon said.
"Certain human merchants occasionally bring weapons and armor crafted by dwarves. They are considered high quality goods. But they are imported from other worlds. Though whenever they are up for sale, thousands of people would pour in to try and buy them.
As such, even if the Dwarves never appear, their names always become common on the tongues of everyone due to their works.
Huli Zu shrugged.
"So if any dwarves have passed through this world, we do not have records of them."
Miyeon added one final point.
"Information like that would likely only exist within the royal ministries that oversee immigration and historical records. We only oversee a single teleportation hall, so we cannot say about other places."
Lin Mu nodded.
That meant any real confirmation would have to come from the capital. Still, the information was useful.
They continued talking as the journey progressed.
Eventually the topic shifted again. This time toward Lin Mu and his companions.
Huli Zu leaned forward curiously.
"You mentioned earlier that you had traveled through several worlds."
Lin Mu nodded.
"We have."
Miyeon’s eyes gleamed with interest.
"What kinds of places have you visited?"
Lin Mu began recounting a few of their past journeys.
At first, he spoke modestly.
But eventually the topic reached one particular event... The Martial Fist King Tournament.
As soon as the name was mentioned, Huli Zu froze.
"...Wait."
"You mean the Martial Fist King World?"
"Yes," Lin Mu replied.
"That tournament."
Miyeon’s eyes widened slightly.
"That is one of the most prestigious competitions in the Eastern Immortal Court."
Daoist Chu nodded.
"Indeed."
Even though they lived in a relatively remote world, the Martial Fist King Tournament was famous across the entire Eastern Immortal Court.
Huli Zu quickly turned to his sister.
"Miyeon."
"Check it."
Miyeon immediately pulled out a jade slip.
She closed her eyes briefly as she sent a message through it.
A few minutes passed.
Then the jade slip vibrated softly.
Miyeon opened her eyes.
Her expression changed.
"Well?"
Huli Zu asked eagerly.
"It is true."
Huli Zu blinked.
"...What?"
Miyeon turned the jade slip so everyone could see.
"The records confirm it."
"And there are even recordings."
The jade slip projected several floating images.
The first recording showed Lin Mu standing calmly inside the massive arena.
The next showed Cattaleya unleashing a devastating strike that sent her opponent flying across the stage.
Another recording showed Lin Mu summoning overwhelming aura that made thousands submit without even fighting.
The siblings watched silently.
For nearly an hour...No one spoke.
The recordings continued showing match after match. The sheer scale of the battles was staggering.
The techniques.
The destruction.
The power.
When the final recording ended, the carriage fell completely silent.
Huli Zu stared blankly at Lin Mu.
Miyeon slowly lowered the jade slip.
Both siblings looked utterly stunned.
Cattaleya leaned back casually.
"So..."
"How was the show?"
Huli Zu swallowed.
"You..."
He looked at Lin Mu again.
"You are telling me..."
"You people..."
"...are those people?"
Miyeon nodded slowly.
"They are."
She looked at Lin Mu with completely new eyes.
"...We have been traveling with two of the strongest competitors from the Martial Fist King Tournament."
The siblings sat there in total disbelief.
They had assumed their guests were capable cultivators.
Perhaps even notable travelers.
But the truth was far more shocking.
The group sitting casually in their carriage...
Were monstrous powerhouses known across entire immortal courts.
And they had been speaking with them like ordinary travelers.
