Chapter 9: High-Level Meeting of the Huaxia Alliance
Three years ago, Lin's Three Uncles were all members of the Alliance High Command! However, because the Alliance plotted to harm Lian Yun, they used a strategy to lure them away, sending the three elders to a distant place on a mission. This ensured that they could not return in time to rescue Lian Yun and her family.
Although the three elders did not lead the family away from the Alliance, they did sever ties with the Alliance High Command!
With no one in power, it became difficult to obtain the latest news!
For instance, Lin Feiyu had already visited Divine Sword Mountain but only learned that the Sword Forging Ancestor was about to embark on a journey. He was unaware of the matter regarding the gifted sword based on the rankings from the Alliance Tournament.
However, why would the current Alliance suddenly inform him? This was undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to curry favor.
Although both generations of the Lin family had been Monarchs, Lin Jin had already passed away! Thus, there were only four Monarchs left in the Lin family. Now, what Lin Feiyu demonstrated was the capability of a Monarch rather than their combat strength.
This indicated that although Lin Feiyu was not a Monarch, he surpassed them. Moreover, what Lin Feiyu exhibited was merely his ability to command Yokai! It was just the tip of the iceberg of his full strength; anyone could guess that Lin Feiyu's power was far beyond simply controlling Yokai.
The gap between a family with four Monarchs and one with five Monarchs, as well as between two generations of Monarchs and three generations of Monarchs, was completely different. This power could not be overlooked by the Alliance.
Furthermore, among The Lin Family's Three Generations, individuals like Lin Wuji had previously shown strength that was not much inferior to Lin Feiyu. It was unimaginable for outsiders whether they also possessed abilities to fight beyond their rank.
Thus, when the current Alliance sent a letter informing them, it was clearly an attempt to appease them and hoped that Lin Feiyu would calm things down.
Such pragmatic behavior from the Alliance naturally left Lin Feiyu feeling quite dissatisfied.
After a moment of fear from Lin Nan, he suddenly regained his composure and looked at Lian Yun, saying, "Since the ancestor is gifting swords, I should participate too!"
In doing so, he could at least keep Lian Yun at home for three months. With that first three months secured, it seemed possible to have another three months or even more.
Thinking of this happy prospect, Lin Nan's face broke into a broad smile filled with joy.
However, Lian Yun could only smile helplessly and say, "If my heart belongs to someone, what use are other swords?"
"Can't we prepare some swords for our Lin family?" Lin Nan immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, clearly very angry.
Yet, Lin Nan's words were quite lethal to Lian Yun!
Indeed, Lian Yun was moved! He had already given his heart to someone, but this was also a rare opportunity to repay the Lin family's kindness.
Just then, Lin Feiyu gave Lin Nan a sharp slap on the back of his head, looking somewhat angrily at him before nodding at Lian Yun and saying, "The Spiritual Fruit is more important!"
Lian Yun immediately suppressed his inner turmoil, nodding while looking at Lin Nan with a sense of helplessness. A different thought was brewing in his eyes.
Then Lian Yun waved his hand and released Chen Er Gou, saying to Lin Feiyu, "Brother, let's have someone contact Ergou's family right away! If possible, bring them back home! To avoid any distrust from his family, we should also take Ergou with us!"
"I will be traveling far; if possible, I hope Ergou can spend more time with his family!"
"Haha! It’s clear that Yun will definitely let Ergou meet his family. That's why I suggested bringing them to the Lin family, so you won't have to take unnecessary trips!"
Being able to consider such matters showed great care and gratitude that Lian Yun could only keep deep within his heart.
Chen Er Gou bowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Yun! Thank you, sir! Thank you so much~~"
While Chen Er Gou was immensely grateful, he also appeared somewhat anxious and even terrified.
Lian Yun patted his shoulder and smiled gently, saying, "If your family fears or dislikes you, then they have no right to come to the Lin family! You should have more confidence in your own family!"
Seeing Chen Er Gou go from distress to relief, a bit of sunlight returned to his face. Lian Yun smiled slightly and then said to Lin Nan, "Nan, I'll go with you to Grandma's place!"
Lin Nan, with a face full of grievances, suddenly brightened up and nodded vigorously, seemingly at ease and unable to speak.
Thus, Lian Yun and the others bid farewell to Lin Feiyu and headed towards Grandma's location.
……………………
Over the past three years, the Alliance had been closely monitoring Lian Yun's situation. After Lian Yun left the Lian Family, their surveillance of her became even more intense.
However, when Lian Yun appeared in the Ghost Market, a significant uproar erupted within the Alliance!
Nearly twelve high-ranking officials gathered in a conference hall due to Lian Yun's appearance. Among these twelve, three were Demon Emperors and nine were powerful Monarchs.
Yet, they displayed almost entirely different expressions regarding Lian Yun.
Some looked relieved and hopeful, while others wore dark expressions filled with a ruthless determination to eliminate any threats. Some remained indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them. There were also those who seemed to revel in the misfortune of others, watching with eager anticipation. Of course, there were also those who maintained a blank expression.
The One Who Acts was a middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard, his features sharply defined and exuding a mix of maturity and authority. For some reason, his eyes carried a deep sense of fatigue. However, his indifference made it difficult to discern any thoughts he might have harbored inside.
The nine members of the Three Ghosts had been gathered for some time without anyone speaking up. Eventually, the one with the dark expression spoke first. He slammed his hand on the table and said coldly, "If we don't eradicate this threat completely, it will only grow back like weeds! There's nothing more to discuss; we must send someone to eliminate her once and for all!"
"Reason!" The One Who Acts replied in a tone devoid of personal emotion but heavy enough to compel others to reflect on their words.
The dark-faced individual stiffened for a moment before coldly stating, "She has already severed the hands of three of her cousins and taken the lives of two blood relatives. Such heartlessness and cruelty will surely lead to disaster in the future! We should eliminate her before she can pose any further threat."
"Setting aside the identities of the killer and the killed, is it wrong for someone to act out of self-preservation?" A middle-aged man with a long beard, resembling an ancient-style Demon Emperor from Ghost Body, spoke in a calm tone.
"Hmph! This person hides her strength while deliberately provoking others into committing crimes; this is nothing but insidious treachery! What use is there in keeping such a person alive?"
"Ha ha! May I ask, Brother Ximen, how much wealth do you have at home? How extensive is your influence? What is your overall strength? And what is your personal combat power?" The speaker, clearly enjoying the spectacle, wore a face full of disdain and sarcasm.
"What does it have to do with you?" Ximen's face darkened, his expression equally mocking.
"Ha ha! Indeed, it has nothing to do with Ren Mo! However, what does the hidden strength of Lianyun Youth have to do with you? Once, Lianyun Youth was drained of resources and suffered from our united schemes. If he still doesn't understand the need to conceal his power now, then Ren Mo can only deem him utterly foolish and deserving of death!"
"However! Lianyun Youth merely concealed his strength; what does that have to do with others? If others have no intention to harm him, why would they confront Lianyun Youth? But did Lianyun Youth not provoke trouble first?"
"Ren Mo truly does not understand; this is simply human nature. How did it become a heinous crime worthy of death in Brother Ximen's mouth?"
"Hahahaha! Wonderful, wonderful! Ren Mo truly does not know that the Monarch Ximen Qianlie possesses such an ability to twist right and wrong, frame others, and set traps! Truly marvelous~~"
"Scoundrel! Ren Woxing, stop spouting nonsense and framing others here. Otherwise~~"
"Nonsense and framing? Ha ha! Ren Mo, I am indeed malicious! Hahaha!"
"Enough!" The One Who Acts coldly interrupted the two who were at odds.
