Three years ago, Lian Yun might have felt wronged, angry, and indignant. Why did everyone know the truth but chose not to tell him?
But now, Lian Yun no longer dwelled on why they hadn’t revealed the truth back then; he simply felt that the misunderstanding had been resolved. Perhaps he thought that he was indeed too young at the time to understand the truth if it had been told to him.
Lian Shan didn’t say much; he bowed respectfully to Grandma and then naturally found the bodies of Lin Beiyan and Lian Cheng. He quietly stood by, slowly regaining his composure.
Seeing this, Lian Yun suddenly felt that it was his parents' 'stubbornness' that had caused this elder great suffering. The one at fault was not the elder but his own parents.
However, Lian Yun didn’t dwell on it for long. He nodded and went into the Pavilion, sitting across from Grandma. “Grandma, I think Grandpa’s revival might be missing something.”
Grandma showed a serious and puzzled expression.
“That thing, Yun'er has observed for several days and found that it doesn’t exist in our Land of Huaxia, but it does in Yin Yang City.”
“No need for that; I will not leave Huaxia, nor will I let your Grandpa leave the Land of Huaxia.” Grandma's face suddenly turned stern, her tone resolute.
Lian Yun felt that perhaps his Grandpa was lacking the baptism of Emperor's Flowing Nectar for his body to be reborn, but Grandma was adamant about not listening to Lian Yun's explanation. Even when Lian Yun almost revealed information about Emperor's Flowing Nectar, she remained unmoved.
This left Lian Yun feeling perplexed yet helpless. Soon after, he took his leave and headed west in search of traces of the Overlord.
Not long after Lian Yun departed, an unexpected visitor arrived at the Lin family home.
The leader of the Huaxia Alliance, Xu Wenchang.
Grandma received Xu Wenchang in her courtyard. As soon as they met, she coldly remarked, “Hmph~~ If it weren’t for knowing that Yun'er is away, Brother Xu wouldn’t dare show his face, would he?”
The implication was clear: Xu Wenchang had been 'monitoring' Lian Yun's actions and only came to visit now that he was certain Lian Yun wouldn’t return anytime soon.
There were rumors in the outside world that Xu Wenchang, Lin Jin, and Grandma had been a close trio in their youth, often traveling together. After Xu Wenchang became the leader of the alliance, he conferred upon Grandma the title of Matriarch.
With such formidable strength and recognition from the leader, Grandma’s status was firmly established and widely acknowledged by outsiders. Even those who had known her for thousands of years would still address her as Matriarch.
Only someone truly unruly like Dongfang Su would dare to call Grandma "Girl."
With Grandma now actively calling out to Brother Xu, it was evident that her relationship with Xu Wenchang was indeed quite good.
Of course, this was only a private relationship; on the surface, the two had little interaction, especially after Lin Jin's death, when they became almost like strangers. There might be some hidden reasons behind this.
Perhaps due to Lian Yun's sarcasm from years ago, Xu Wenchang's eyes now showed less fatigue than before, yet there remained a hint of weariness, as if he hadn’t slept for seven nights.
In response to Grandma's teasing, Xu Wenchang could only nod helplessly before asking seriously, “Are you really going to let the Lin Clan enter Yin Yang City?”
“Mm!”
Xu Wenchang frowned slightly and said, “Even if you can’t sense it, Lian Yun and Lin Xiaoyao must be able to. Isn’t there a strange wave spreading through the underground of the capital in the past year? It should be the work of the Peerless Demon Master; he seems to be preparing to launch some kind of grand formation without warning.”
“The Lin Clan’s movements shouldn’t concern me, but if they were to relocate as a whole, it would surely weaken Huaxia’s strength in the future…”
Grandma raised her hand to stop Xu Wenchang from continuing.
Shaking her head with a sigh, she said, “Brother Xu, if you can’t see such an obvious truth, perhaps Yun'er was right back then; maybe you should step aside for someone more capable.”
“If someone has talent and is willing to serve Huaxia Ethnicity, I would gladly support them,” Xu Wenchang said seriously as he looked at Grandma.
However, Grandma remained unmoved and shook her head lightly. “No matter what kind of formation the Peerless Demon Master sets up, it will undoubtedly lead to countless casualties in the future. Right now, he just wants to catch us off guard; that’s better than having an army directly assault the capital!”
“Moreover, there will inevitably be turmoil among Huaxia Ethnicity in the future. Without our Lin Clan, perhaps there will be fewer casualties. So why must our Lin Clan insist on staying?”
Though she spoke thusly, the reasoning wasn’t so simple. For instance, both a Tyrant and a wise ruler are monarchs, but they are vastly different in the eyes of the people. This might be why Grandma resolutely refused to go to Yin Yang City.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Lian Yun; she simply wanted to contribute her strength to protect her people.
Sensing that the Lin Clan had made up their minds to leave, Xu Wenchang ceased his persuasion. After a moment of silence, he asked again, “What do you think will be the effect of the formation set by the Peerless Demon Master?”
Grandma glanced at Xu Wenchang calmly and countered with a question: “Brother Xu, what do you think is the purpose of the Peerless Demon Master setting up this formation?”
From the perspective of Alliance High Command, they had already discussed this countless times and considered numerous answers while going through some exclusions or proofs.
In this regard, there are certainly several possible answers for Xu Wenchang. However, these answers are merely possibilities and not certainties, so Xu Wenchang wanted to take this opportunity to ask Grandma for her insights.
Facing Grandma's counter-question, there was no hint of displeasure; instead, he immediately adopted a serious expression and said, "From our perspective, there are three main possibilities: one is to transform the entire soul of Huaxia into humans, the second is to turn all the people of Huaxia into ghosts. The third might be..."
"Is the first one even a possibility?" Grandma replied with an unmistakable hint of sarcasm.
If Lian Yun were present, he would likely share this attitude, as the Emperor himself sought to restore his physical form; how could he possibly allow all the people of Huaxia to become Spirits?
On the other hand, transforming Huaxia's ghosts into humans seems somewhat more feasible, as it could initially increase the population.
The grand formation set up by the Peerless Demon Master could indeed turn all souls into flesh and blood; who knows how much the population of Huaxia would increase.
Moreover, ancient people held a strong belief in the importance of having descendants. They would undoubtedly need to reproduce. Although some Spirits have families, the generations that follow are often separated by many degrees from the Spirits themselves. Even so-called direct blood relatives may not have much connection.
Thus, once Spirits become human, they would inevitably need to reproduce. In this regard, perhaps even the Eternal Emperor and several Demon Emperors from the Demon Realm would not be exceptions.
However, the possibility of the second point is also quite significant.
