373: Mulan's request, the Muling tribe entered the inner world

You came to me not just to tell me that I am from the Chaos Clan, right?

Hehe, it seems nothing can be hidden from the Supreme Palace Master.

Mu Lan also had a joyful expression.

Long Aotian didn't reject his mysterious identity as a member of the Chaos Clan; in fact, he acknowledged it, which made it much easier for her to accomplish what she intended to do next.

Looking at Long Aotian, Mu Lan slowly spoke, "The Wood Spirit Clan is the servant clan of the Chaos Clan. In other words, Mu Lan, and indeed the entire Wood Spirit Clan, are the Master's servants."

Long Aotian: "..."

As she spoke, Mu Lan couldn't help but become a little sad, even somewhat pitiful, "Master, the Wood Spirit Clan is now on the verge of extinction. Even hiding in that mysterious Secret Realm is not entirely safe. You must save our Wood Spirit Clan."

"..."

Long Aotian was somewhat taken aback.

He didn't expect Mu Lan to come seeking help?

However, he immediately felt a sense of relief. Given the natural master-servant relationship between the Wood Spirit Clan and the Chaos Clan, if she didn't come to him, her Master, who else could she turn to for help?!

If they sought help from others, anyone could potentially harm the Wood Spirit Clan!

At this moment, he finally understood why Mu Lan was so close to him. It wasn't because the Wood Spirit Clan was naturally benevolent towards others. Being on the verge of extinction, they still understood the wickedness of human hearts; they wouldn't harm others but also knew how to protect themselves, making it impossible for them to easily open up to anyone.

The reason she was so close to him was entirely because she discovered he was from the Chaos Clan, their Master!

"How do you want me to help you?"

Long Aotian did not refuse Mu Lan's plea for help.

Because he knew that he was probably the Wood Spirit Clan's last straw. If he refused, he didn't know how heartbroken and desperate this kind girl would become.

Moreover, he currently did possess the ability to help this humble, pitiful, yet kind race.

"Master, can our Wood Spirit Clan move into the Master's Inner World to live?"

Looking at Long Aotian, Mu Lan asked with some apprehension in her heart.

She had entered Long Aotian's Inner World before.

Inside, Long Aotian had filled it with Immortal Rank supreme Spirit Veins and planted various immortal spiritual herbs, making it a peaceful, comfortable, and excellent living environment.

Especially since Long Aotian's Inner World now spanned a hundred Immortal Miles.

A hundred Immortal Miles is ten billion miles.

Such a vast space was more than enough to accommodate the entire Wood Spirit Clan.

Didn't the Wood Spirit Clan's Legacy memories say that they could only thrive and reproduce without worry under the protection of the Chaos Clan? Then Mu Lan would simply move the Wood Spirit Clan directly into the heart of the Chaos Clan.

"You want the Wood Spirit Clan to move into my Inner World to live?"

Long Aotian also felt incredibly astonished.

The Inner World, where he was the Dominator.

With a single thought, he could imprison a person.

With a single thought, he could make a person die.

Living in his Inner World was tantamount to entrusting their lives to him, with absolutely no secrets from him.

Mu Lan not only wanted to move into the Inner World herself but also wanted to bring the entire Wood Spirit Clan?

Entrusting the entire future of the Wood Spirit Clan into his hands?

Long Aotian's heart was unsettled and somewhat strange at this moment.

This was the Wood Spirit Clan! How many Sects and forces fought tooth and nail to capture a few Wood Spirit Clan members to cultivate immortal spiritual herbs?

And he, on the other hand, was getting the whole lot?

Especially since this 'whole lot' was being begged for by the Clan Chief of the Wood Spirit Clan herself!

Such a heaven-sent opportunity felt very strange to Long Aotian.

"Yes, Master."

Mu Lan nodded emphatically, her determination clear, and spoke again, pleading, "Please, Master, allow the Wood Spirit Clan to move into your Inner World to live!"

"Hmm, it's not impossible."

The Wood Spirit Clan, these naturally kind and pure spiritual plant experts, were highly sought after by various Sects and forces, so Long Aotian naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, he had to consider one question... "How many people are in your Wood Spirit Clan right now?"

Upon Breaking Through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, his Inner World only expanded to a hundred Immortal Miles. Mu Lan intended to bring the entire Wood Spirit Clan, not just herself, so if the numbers were too high, that relatively small Inner World might not be able to accommodate them.

However.

When it came to population, Mu Lan couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Less than one hundred thousand!"

"Less than one hundred thousand?"

Long Aotian was somewhat incredulous.

This was the Martial Arts World! It was perfectly normal for a race to have populations of hundreds, thousands, or even trillions. Even in the Lower Realm's Sky Ruins Continent, the small, secluded Eastern Continent had a population of nearly ten billion, not to mention major population continents like the Eastern Continent, Central Continent, and Western Continent, where populations were measured in hundreds of billions or even trillions.

And as for the astonishing population scale of the Immortal Realm, the first city Long Aotian encountered after his Ascension to the Immortal Realm, Steve City, was merely an accompanying city to an Ascension Hall on the First Heaven, yet its population was close to ten billion. And there were hundreds of millions of similar Ascension Hall accompanying cities like Steve City on the First Heaven alone.

The population scale and vastness of space in the Immortal Realm were even more astonishing than the small continental Planes of the Lower Realm.

Long Aotian found it truly difficult to imagine that a race like the Wood Spirit Clan, which had existed for countless ages, especially in the vast Immortal Realm, would have a population of less than one hundred thousand?

Incredible!

Unbelievable!

Had the Wood Spirit Clan really fallen to such a dire state?

"Yes!"

Mu Lan nodded, forcing a smile, "Barely thirty thousand!"

"..."

Hearing Mu Lan report an even more specific, heavier, and paler number, Long Aotian fell silent.

After a long pause!

He slowly spoke, "The Wood Spirit Clan, this Palace Master will protect them. Now, take this Palace Master to your Wood Spirit Clan's hidden Secret Realm..."
