"Scrawny arms? Hey! Are you alright? Scrawny arms!?" guard[1] called as his partner suddenly went silent.
Thud!!
"What th..."
Scrs!
"Why can't I feel my body?" guard[1] thought as he found it impossible to move his lips, "what the hell is going on?"
Emerging out of his hiding spot, Shung Yun walked past the two[2] guards lying motionlessly on the ground before pushing the gate wide enough for his body to pass through.
"Is he responsible for whatever's happening to my body?" guard[2] thought as his irises followed the moving cloaked individual to the full extent of his eyes.
Coiling round Shung Yun's left leg, Mangro rose upward before passing into his king's left wrist close to him.
Moving through the paved streets of the Nue clan's courtyard, Shung Yun arrived in front of a three[3] meters high, green-colored, wooden door.
Stretching his hands out, he pushed open the two[2] sides of the door before stepping into the grand hall behind the door.
Stopping his cultivation, Clan head Zirui opened his eyes as he looked at the cloaked individual in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked the cloaked intruder.
"A junior who wishes to be on good terms with his senior," Shung Yun said as he uncovered his head.
Bowing his upper body, he said, "Shung Yun of the Shung Clan greets clan head Zirui."
"Oh! So, you're the brat that caused the death of one of my clan Elders. You're really brave to come to my home despite knowing that," Clan head Zirui said as he got up from his green pillow.
"This junior has no wish to offend the Nue clan," Shung Yun said as he straightened his body, "but this junior has no wish to get killed by the person he saved."
"If you're here to apologize to me, then I suggest you leave right now. An apology won't save you from my wrath," Nue Su said as his aura pressed down on Shung Yun.
"Elder Su might be great and all, but I'm sure he can't be compared to you, Clan head Zirui. If your Nue clan was able to get another powerful cultivator like you, I'm sure that will be better than preserving the life of a lower-stage dantian unsealing realm cultivator," Shung Yun said as the pressure applied on his body left no pained expression on his face.
"What are you saying, lad?" Clan head Zirui asked, interested by what Shung Yun was implying.
"What do you think of requesting anything you want from the village, Clan head Zirui?" Shung Yun asked.
"I was informed that you and Shung Haoran paid a visit to Chief Weng few hours before noon. Are you trying to play with me, lad?" Clan head Zirui's aura increased as he asked Shung Yun.
"I was able to retain a single request after giving the other two[2] to my clan head," Shung Yun said as his body bore the brunt of Clan head Zirui's aura, "I can give the Nue clan my surviving request if senior promise to bury the hatchet."
"You want me to let go of what you did to Elder Su because of some request I can make from the village? You must take me as a joke, brat," Clan head Zirui said as he stood across Shung Yun.
"This junior dare not," Shung Yun said as he shook his head, "this junior was just hoping that Clan head Zirui was someone who understands when to make profit and when to avoid loss."
"Accepting your offer will make the other Clans think that they can harm the descendants of my Nue clan and get away scot-free by providing a profit," Clan head Zirui said with his head a little bent as he looked at Shung Yun's eyes, "I will use you to show the other Clans what it means to offend me, Nue Zirui. Now, get out!"
"Senior should think this through. A chance like this won't easily present itself before the Nue clan," Shung Yun said as he slowly backed away from Clan head Zirui.
"Say one more word and you won't be walking out of here unharmed," Clan head Zirui threatened as his eyes followed Shung Yun.
Moving his hands backward, Shung Yun held the handles of the huge green door before dragging them forward, opening the door in the process.
Tu!
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Clan head Zirui sighed with a sad expression as he walked back to his pillow.
"Being a clan head definitely comes with both advantages and disadvantages," he said as he strengthened his resolve, "but every decision must be for the benefit of the clan."
"Were you really going to bury the hatchet with that human, my king?" Mangro asked as Shung Yun walked away from the Nue clan, Clan head's building.
"I was," Shung Yun said as he continued moving, "and I would've buried Clan head Zirui together with it."
"He's really...," stopping his thought, Mangro vowed, "I would help him carry out his goals to the best of my ability, as I indulge in my goals in the process."
"If I can't use my request to buy enough time to destroy Clan head Zirui, then maybe I can use it to divide the Nue clan," thoughts ran through Shung Yun's mind as he walked farther and farther away from Clan head Zirui's resident, "let's make another visit, Mangro."
"Alright, my king," Mangro said as his tongue flickered out of his mouth.
!
"It's locked," Shung Yun muttered as he held the handle of the door before pushing it forward and pulling it backward a couple of times.
Knock!! Knock!!
Waiting for a few seconds, he hits his right knuckle at the door once again.
Knock!! Knock!!
Cra!! Kri!
"Who the fuck are you!" a bare-chested middle-stage middle aged man roared as he looked aggressively at Shung Yun.
"It seems my king came at a wrong time," Mangro thought as he looked at the bulge on the towel wrapped around the waist of the human in front of him.
"Maybe, I should come back later," Shung Yun said as he slowly stepped back.
"Say the reason you interrupted me, boy. Unless you won't like the shape of your head when I'm done with you," Elder Bachun said as his lower-stage dantian unsealing realm Qi oozed out from his body.
"I'm Shung Yun of the Shung clan. I want senior to promise to support me, and in return I will give senior an opportunity to grow stronger," Shung Yun said to the bare-chested middle-stage middle aged man in front of him.
"So, you're that junior that everyone's talking about in the central region of the village," Elder Bachun said as he stepped out of his house, "do you think you can say such words just because you got lucky and obtained the favor of a beast? I will forget what happened just this once. Try interrupting my sweet time again, and I will leave you with a new head shape."
"I'm sure something from the village can increase the Essense comprehension of senior, which will in turn increase senior's strength," Shung Yun said to Nue clan's Elder Bachun, "I have something that can give senior that thing?"
"You still have a chance to make a request from the village?" Elder Bachun asked, surprised by Shung Yun's words.
"I can give that chance to senior, if senior promise to support me," Shung Yun said as he made an offer to Elder Bachun.
"And how do you suppose I support you?" Elder Bachun asked Shung Yun.
"With some of the Nue clan's resources," Shung Yun suggested to Elder Bachun, "I'm sure as an Elder, senior will have some influence in the control of your clan's resources."
"You want me to split up the resources of my Nue clan even further when the descendants of my Nue clan barely get enough if their talent doesn't cut it?" one could hear anger from Elder Bachun's voice as he spoke to Shung Yun.
"I get resources to help some of my soldier grow stronger, while you grow strong enough to contend for your clan's leadership. I say that's a win-win situation," Shung Yun said as his right index finger pointed repeatedly between himself and Elder Bachun.
"The clan's leadership," a yearning expression shrouded Elder Bachun's face as he looked towards the second largest building in the Nue clan's courtyard.
Beating the iron while it was still hot, Shung Yun said, "with my cultivation no longer progressing, senior will only split a portion of your clan's resources for a hundred and thirty[130] years if the gods smiles at me, and a few weeks if the gods frowns at me."
"You have my word, boy. I swear it by goddess Hiba," Elder Bachun swore with his right thumb on the chest above his heart.
"I'm really glad senior is open-minded," Shung Yun said as he cupped his fists at Elder Bachun.
"Let me get dress. We're leaving for the village chief's resident immediately," Elder Bachun said as he went into his house.
