Lin Wu looked at the Steel Frost Ind for a couple minutes, before deciding to head there.


    The two beasts flew towards the Ind and were met with several people staring up at the sky. It was clear that they had been drawn out due to the sudden change in the weather. After all, Lin Wu had blown away what was basically a snowstorm.


    "Look! Beasts!"


    "Alert the guards!"


    The people in the Steel Frost Ind didn''t take long to react and quickly got into battle stations. Though once Lin Wu got close enough, the people realized that he was no normal beast. After all, there weren''t many other beasts like Lin Wu that had a crystalline body.


    "HALT! Lower your weapons!" Soon a loud order was hearding from the top of the castle.


    The voice was heard clearly by every person on the Steel Frost Ind, and it spread to each corner of the ind. It was evident that the person who had given out the order had used his cultivation base to amplify his voice.


    Lin Wu had sensed the spirit Qi fluctuations already and knew that the person was at the Dao Shell realm.


    ''Interesting… they''re certainly stronger than the king of the Wide Crag Kingdom.'' Lin Wu had not expected this.


    ~SHUA~


    Lin Wu finally saw a middle aged man appearing on the top of the castle. He was wearing a steel armor that had unique rune markings and was wearing a thick bear fur cape.


    "I, Geng Zi the lord of the Steel Frost Ind greet Beast King Lin Wu of the Millennium Forest kingdom!" The middle aged man said out loud.


    He made sure that his voice reached each person on the ind. This served two purposes.


    The first was that it gave respect to Lin Wu, and the second was that it ayed the fear and anxiety of the inhabitants of the ind. After all, the appearance of tworge beasts with unknown cultivation bases was bound to cause unrest.


    Lin Wu observed the man, and did a quick assessment of him.


    ''He seems to be totally fine. His cultivation base is also stable and he has no hidden injuries.'' Lin Wu assessed.


    He did this to see what was the difference between the Wide Crag Kingdom and the Steel Frost Ind.


    After all, both were powers of roughly the same level, but the Steel Frost Ind was just an independent city-state unlike the other which was a kingdom. At the same time, the lord of the Steel Frost Ind seemed to have a higher cultivation base than King Yun Guiren.


    At first Lin Wu thought that this lord might be older than the king, but that turned out to be wrong. The lord of the Steel Frost Ind was actually younger than King Yun Guiren and also had a higher cultivation base.


    Not just that, but the overall condition of his body seemed to be good too.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Greetings, Lord Geng Zi." Lin Wu spoke in a calm tone, making the man feel a bit relieved. "I see that I''ve caused a little troubleing here."


    "It''s nothing King Lin Wu. I am pleased by your presence." Lord Geng Zi replied. "Or rather we must thank you for giving us this clear sky today." The man said with gratitude.


    "I just wanted to take a clear look at this ce, so I did a little clearing." Lin Wu said nonchntly.


    "Well, I still need to thank you for that. It has been bothering us for a while now." Lord Geng Zi said in a tired tone.


    "Oh?" Lin Wu didn''t miss out on that, wondering if this was behind the Steel Frost Ind''s situation.


    "We''ll talk more. You cannd in our training grounds." Lord Geng Zi suggested.


    "Sure." Lin Wu epted and went around the castle,nding at the empty training grounds that were big enough for both him and Tim.


    With that done, Lord Geng Zi went to therge balcony that was located on the side of the training grounds. It was used for observing the guards while they trained and also gave one a great view of the Circle Peak Lake beyond it along with the mountains.


    "I aming here after visiting Wide Crag Kingdom, Lord Geng Zi." Lin Wu decided to lead with that. "I''ve helped resolve their problems with the Cruel Helm Octopus and I''m here to do the same for you." He directly offered.


    Hearing this Lord Geng Zi was stunned, but then a wide smile appeared on his face.


    "HAHAHA! I have to greatly thank you for this King Lin Wu." Lord Geng Ziughed.


    Lin Wu then told Lord Geng Zi about the agreement he had made with the Wide Crag Kingdom and that they were now under him. Lord Geng Zi didn''t take long to ept the same offer and was d that he would still get to lead his people here.


    "So can you tell me what the thing troubling you is? It''s not another beast is it?" Lin Wu questioned.


    "No… if it was a beast at least we would have been able to put up a resistance against it. But what we''re up against is the force of nature." Lord Geng Zi answered.


    "Force of Nature? You mean that snow storm?" Lin Wu questioned in doubt.


    "Yes… that Snow Storm has been persistently troubling us for years now. It wouldst for months on end, and would only clear up for a day or two before resuming. It would cause non stop snow fall, as well as hail on some days.


    It ruined a lot of the spirit herbs were were raising as well as our harvest of Spirit Snow Berries have been stopped for the past two years." Lord Geng Zi exined.


    "Hmmm… can''t you just forcefully dispel it yourself? Even if you are at the Dao Shell realm, you should have enough power to at least clear out a part of the clouds." Lin Wu asked next.
