Chapter 2181 - Ebons

Eh? Lin Xiaoyun and Lin Wuyi were surprised to hear a figure like Lin Jie placing so much importance on a few children. Even Lin Wuyi had been on the verge of washing her hands of the matter, as it was kind of pointless in the end.

Brother Jie, you mean we can use certain methods, or even force on those girls? Dongshen Yues protecting them well, but its not impossible to find an opportunity, Lin Wuyi said.

Decide for yourself. You know how far you should go. You just have to make Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yues reputation stop rising and even drop it back to the level of the past. Use your head and think of a few plans. There must be some way to deal with kids that wont implicate you, Lin Jie said.

Alright. I didnt try very hard before, as I thought itd be easy, but Ill do my best now that Brother Jies reminded me. Lin Wuyi nodded.

Lin Xiaoyun frowned. Brother Jie, please enlighten me. Why do we need to focus so much on some kids? Theyll need over a thousand years to grow even if theyre geniuses. Well have completed the reformation by then.

The kids arent the crux, but Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue are, Lin Jie said.

What do you mean?

When Kus gone, the Second Patriarch will be the eldest and most senior of the Lin Clan. He also has one big difference from Ku. I suspect hes still got a large portion of his strength. The Lin Xiao of the past was an expert second only to Ku. Half of my accomplishments were guided by him, so I know how strong he is. Lin Jie grit his teeth.

But so what? What can he change? He isnt even a member of the council hall. Not even the traditionalists accept him. Those old fogies are just clowns on Brokensword Peak that no one pays attention to, Lin Xiaoyun disdainfully said.

Lin Jie laughed and shook his head. Youre still young, Xiaoyun, which is why you never knew how glorious Lin Xiao was in his younger years. He has a very strong relationship with the people in the traditionalist faction, even Ku. He highly values relationships and is even willing to die for his brothers. His only conflict with Ku was marrying Dongshen Yue. The Second Patriarch was a victim in the matter of Lin Mu in the end. Although he was kicked out of the council hall and left the decision-maker level of the clan, his relationships, connections, and reputation still exist. Get it? Lin Xiao is the perfect loyal hound of the Lin Clan. Theres nobody that doesnt recognize his efforts. If it werent for the black marks of his wife and son, hed have a status in the council that isnt any lower than Kus and would become the clan master once Ku dies. Lin Jies expression turned darker.

I understand. Before, Lin Xiao was destined never to raise his head because of his son. Itd have nothing to do with him if we began reformations and we got into conflict with the traditionalists after Ku dies. But now, thanks to his grandson and granddaughters-in-law, hes returned to the Lin Clans attention in a very high-profile way! Theyre integral to rebuilding his reputation. Once Ku dies and the traditionalists lose their head, our pressure on them may cause them to push Lin Xiao into conflict with us! Lin Wuyis eyes shone. She hadnt cared much about the matter before. No matter how dazzling the girls were, it didnt matter; however, many people had now changed their opinions of Tianming. It was very possible that the effect may apply to Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue as well.

The important thing is that Lin Xiao has a very strong bond with those from the traditionalist faction. Hes been too ashamed to talk to them all these years, but if they need help, hell definitely be willing to stop us on their behalf, Lin Jie said.

I see. No wonder you wanted to get rid of the Second Patriarch when you became the Hall of Disciplines new head. Your foresights amazing. Lin Xiaoyun was full of admiration. He had never considered that angle.

Anyway, let this matter be the last time. Dont let their prestige rise any further, Lin Jie said.

Yes. Ill handle the matter well, Brother Jie, Lin Wuyi said.

Speaking of which, wouldnt it have been good if Jianxing had just killed the four of them when he first saw them? Lin Xiaoyun asked.

Yes, but that chance wont come again. Lin Jie shook his head with a bitter smile.

Alright. I know Jianxings been full of regret, but now I regret it even more than him.

Theyre just lucky. But they shouldnt hope to live well after this.

Their reputation was already bad, so even if they want to make a comeback, theres many ways to drop them back into the abyss. Lin Wuyi coldly smiled. Lin Jie had already given her a lot of leeway and she now dared to do many things she hadnt before.

The most important thing is to leave no trace. Kus still around, so dont give the traditionalists any weakness to grab hold of, Lin Jie said.

Understood. Lin Wuyi seriously nodded.

Lin Jie leaned back in his chair. Actually, Dongshen Yues also a roadblock.

Is it because of the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan behind her? Lin Xiaoyun asked.

Right. The ebons are eying Mount Taia. Weve chosen to side with the ebons, so we can offer them Dongshen Yues head as a sign of loyalty! For every day she remains in the Infinitum Swordsea, theres a thorn in the relationship between our Swordgod Lin Clan and them. Dongshen Yue also has a very high status in the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan, so this thorn must be removed! Lin Jie didnt hide his killing intent.

Those two old fogies already wrecked the clan, and now theyre even getting in the way of us revitalizing it. How revolting. Theyre the clans sinners no matter how much they contributed before! Lin Wuyi spat.

Theyre old like Ku, stuck in their ways and only remember historical grudges and unable to accept the new times. The only eternal thing in this world is benefit! We can forget all the past conflicts and grudges with the ebons for it! Lin Jie said in a low voice.

The ebons....

Ebonia, the ebons. Using that as their clan name made it clear they had a relationship with the sixth-level nova source world.

The ebons have already returned to their peak state. If it werent for Yi Daiyan fifty years ago, the first, fifth, seventh, ninth, and tenth places on the reges mundi ranking would all be theirs! The Infinitum Bodhimanda may have thirteen Royal Clans, but the ebons would be number one and rule over half of all the land! If the Infinitum Bodhimanda didnt have a special rule, how could Yi Daiyan be in power? Just based on luxdaemons that arent even a third as strong as our Lin Clan and rank at the bottom of the Royal Clans? Our Infinitum Bodhimanda has had quite a few reges mundi without followers, but Yi Daiyan is the only one that can match the mighty ebons alone. Weve killed luxdaemons and, while she hasnt done anything yet, she wont let us off. Lin Xiaoyuns eyes were filled with hatred when he mentioned Yi Daiyan.

In the fifty years since she ascended, she hasnt done anything, but many still no longer dare to interact or do business with our Lin Clan. Weve lost thirty percent of our income and its still rapidly dropping. We cant sell our stock and its only accumulating. Our cash flow is ruined, but the resources our disciples are exchanging for are increasing. Its all snowballing, and if we dont fix this, we wont have enough resources to raise so many clan disciples! A few emporiums have gone bankrupt and more and more clan members no longer dare to have children because of the lack of resources. At this rate, our population will even decrease, too....
