Could also be talking about Xi elders who were the Dukes right after the Weilu. The Xi were the ones we initially got TRF from anyway, and Ling Qi signals Moon more than anything else and since the King is obviously a Moon spirit I think that's what he'll see first.Oh hey so we might be dealing with a Weilu civil war between the Elders, and the younger generation? Also the similarity to Weilu arts means Ling Qi will probably be judged as one of them by anyone who'd recognize their arts.
Huh is the King of the Forest the Sublime Ancestor of the Weilu, and in this instance a fragment of him split off to carry out justice against the Oathbreakers?
The King of the Forest killed someone that kicked off this war?
So yea civil war among the Weilu seems a reasonable explanation for the Elders sending an assassin, attempts to deny resources for the other side by the Prince, and the prince crossing out the clan signal.
This is incredibly sound advice. Because if the King of the Forest is a lesser fragment of the Weilu Sublime Ancestor he will recognize the arts Ling Qi as Weilu, and well does anyone think Ling Qi can talk down a spirit in a blood rage?
Points at analysis above. So Nope!, All my Nope!, and Ling Qi has zero Moon patron bonuses to talking down an enraged spirit Nope!.
[X] Go with Shen Hu, sometimes the unambiguous route is the best one.
Hell even the king, with blood in his head (literally), is doing us a solid by walking slowly here. If he wish to our company he would say so.
Plus the fact that is bringing complete darkness in a night with a full moon (I think) is not a thing that make me think he want company in this moment.
"You may wish to get hence, little shadow," Vengeance-of-Burning Grove, said, not unkindly. "Aided me you have, but to meet the King of the Forest under the light of the red moon is a dangerous thing.
Which would all be great points if I was voting in this quest based on achieving the optimal outcome for Ling Qi. But i'm not, I just want to read an interesting story and I think meeting the king of the forest will be more interesting than protecting a village.Yeah, but getting killed isn't something to be considered desirable.
Remember, even if we get covered for, there's still bad consequences for fucking these sorts of quests up. We could have lost weeks if we fucked up the Moon Rave for instance. And we can't afford any such setbacks.
And literally everyone on the table here who can talk to us said 'You don't want to meet the King of the Forest when he's in a bloodrage' including a literal fucking temporary spirit of vengeance and hate.
The thing about a Wild Hunt is... You don't want to cross paths with the Wild Hunt, because even if they like you and decide to make you join up, they don't tend to let people leave
oh my god this is literally happening
going off to have a panic attack
It was enough to make her hesitate though, and in that moment of hesitation, she saw the prince's back as he spun to avoid a swing of the tree spirits fist. There embroidered upon the back of his robe was an image she recognized from the history books, the yin and yang symbol, with sun and moon replacing the dots, the sigil of the Weilu clan. However, it was defaced, the stitching depicting the moon hurriedly torn out, and stitched over with some archaic character that she couldn't read.
The Qi of the King of the Forest is comparable to Ling Qi's mentor so good luck escaping someone who is at least peak Cyan!I am extremely torn, but I think to take the risk.
I must honestly admit to hoping that there will be a fair chance of escaping were the situation to go utterly pear shaped.
[X] Stay here and meet the King, hopefully he can make the situation more clear
However, as she considered changing melodies, she felt something far on the edge of her senses approaching at an unhurried pace. It was a presence that had a terrible weight too it, a thing of baying hounds and bloodied silver spears, borne under the moon. It was strange though, for all that the qi she felt was incredibly potent, comparable to Zeqing at least…. It felt strongly reduced, as if the greater part of it were missing somehow.
A Weilu Prince recognized the art as something that was used by his brother, and you're expecting a spirit whose been explicitly called at as being under the light of the Bloody Moon won't mistake Ling Qi as someone working for the Weilu? Because the King comes across as a spirit with Wild Hunt themes with the bloody spears, and baying hounds.Could also be talking about Xi elders who were the Dukes right after the Weilu. The Xi were the ones we initially got TRF from anyway, and Ling Qi signals Moon more than anything else and since the King is obviously a Moon spirit I think that's what he'll see first.
Yes, I expect it won't because she is moon related, as noted by the Admirals of the Xuan and every important cultivator we've met and since the Weilu are very clearly throwing away their relation with the Moon she can't be Weilu.The Qi of the King of the Forest is comparable to Ling Qi's mentor so good luck escaping someone who is at least peak Cyan!

You think that we can escape from a 4th realm spirit? Also why would we want to try if we don't have to?I am extremely torn, but I think to take the risk.
