Chapter 104: Chapter 21 Countermeasures Chapter 104: Chapter 21 Countermeasures “The matter of the Spiritual Mine Vein is of great importance, though tempting, but for a family like ours, the Lin Family, it’s likely that we won’t be able to keep the Spiritual Mine Vein safe!” Lin Baitian said.

Inside the hall, a silence ensued.

Indeed.

The Lin Family was merely a small family.

The Spiritual Mine Vein was rare and very precious.

Not to mention the Lin Family, even the True Martial Country might not be able to keep it safe.

For the Lin Family, the Spiritual Mine Vein could also be a curse rather than a blessing.

“What should we do then?” the Seventh Elder asked.

“As of now, we should consider that the Nalan Family has also received news of the Spiritual Mine Vein, and with such heavy losses this time, they will surely find clues that it was our Lin Family’s doing.

We must guard against the Nalan Family’s retaliation,”

Lin Baitian stated.

The Second Elder spoke, “We could communicate with the Wang Family.”

Everyone nodded.

The Wang Family and the Lin Family were allies.

This matter, indeed, needed to be brought to the Wang Family’s attention.

“But how should we handle the Spiritual Mine Vein?” Lin Xiong asked.

Everybody slightly frowned, ignoring the Spiritual Mine Vein was clearly not an option, and it would be a huge waste.

Yet, the power held by the Lin Family was also not enough to covet the Spiritual Mine Vein secretly.

Once the news leaked out, it would spell disaster for the clan.

“I have a few friends at Jialan Academy.

I will contact them to discuss some strategies,” Lin Feng proposed.

ṅονǤօ.сο

“That’s good,” Lin Cangqiong nodded.

Lin Feng wrote a letter, which a clan uncle from the Lin Family personally took to Jialan Academy.

This letter was addressed to “Ouyang Li.”

Ouyang Li was a good brother of Lin Feng at Jialan Academy.

Moreover, the two had previously experienced life and death together, which forged their bond through adversity.

Ouyang Li’s family was extraordinary.

The Ouyang Family was ranked first among the top ten families in Jialan City.

Even the Bai Family, Xiao Family, and other families could not compare with the Ouyang Family.

The Ouyang Family had extensive connections, so it was feasible to discuss this matter with Ouyang Family’s high-ranking officials.

The content of Lin Feng’s letter was very simple; it merely mentioned that there was an urgent matter to discuss and asked Ouyang Li to bring someone who could make decisions from his family.

Upon seeing the letter, Ouyang Li was immediately startled.

He said, “Uncle Lin, is this matter extremely urgent?”

The uncle from the Lin Family replied, “Indeed, it’s very urgent; please communicate with your family elders, Young Master Ouyang.”

“Alright, I’ll go back right now.”

Ouyang Li hurried back to his family and told his father, Ouyang Qianfeng, about the matter.

Ouyang Li was Ouyang Qianfeng’s only son.

And he was a child borne in his later years.

Ouyang Qianfeng was naturally very concerned about his son and Ouyang Li indeed proved to be quite promising.

He stood out among his peers in terms of character and abilities.

Even in terms of making friends, Ouyang Qianfeng was quite satisfied.

Ouyang Qianfeng had also heard the name Lin Feng from Ouyang Li more than once.

Knowing what potential a youth like Lin Feng implied, Ouyang Qianfeng was very supportive of Ouyang Li’s close relation with Lin Feng.

After hearing about the matter from Ouyang Li, Ouyang Qianfeng asked, “What matter is so urgent that you need to meet with our Ouyang Family?”

“Brother Lin is always cautious.

He wouldn’t act like this unless it was extremely urgent; please make a quick decision, father,” Ouyang Li said.

“Let the Great Elder accompany you to the Lin Family,” Ouyang Qianfeng ordered.

“Yes.”

Ouyang Li then went to find the Great Elder.

Then, a group of over twenty people from the Ouyang Family hurried to the Lin Family.

…

Azure Cloud City!

Nalan Family!

“Reporting to the Clan Leader, we have not found any traces of the Great Elder and Heavenly Pride, only signs of a fight and bloodstains in the forest.”

In the Nalan Family hall, the atmosphere is heavy; all high-level members of the Nalan Family are present as a master from the Nalan Family reports back the results of their investigation into the Wilderness Jungle.

Nalan Zhengcheng’s expression is extremely grim; he is holding a piece of paper that reads, “Discovered a Spiritual Mine Vein in the Wilderness Jungle, encountered the Lin Family there and surrounded them.

Will return after the success.”

Just a few dozen words had revealed too much information.

This was information that the Great Elder had sent back to the family.

But now

More than three hundred members of the Nalan Family had not returned.

Including the Great Elder!

And also the so-called hope of the Nalan Family, Nalan Tianjiao,

completely disappeared.

Though they were reluctant to admit,

it seemed

that the people of the Nalan Family really had met with an accident.

“Lin Family, Lin Family!”

Nalan Zhengcheng almost roared out.

His murderous intent surged.

“We must annihilate the Lin Family to avenge the Great Elder, Heavenly Pride, and all three hundred members of our Nalan Family,”

stated the Second Elder of the Nalan Family in an icy voice.

“That’s right, the Lin Family must be completely slaughtered by our Nalan Family to quench this hatred in our hearts!”

added the Third Elder of the Nalan Family.

The Sixth Elder then coldly said, “Moreover, there is also a Spiritual Mine Vein involved!

This matter is too significant; the Lin Family must be eradicated, and the Spiritual Mine Vein must be in our control.”

“Report!

The Su Family Patriarch requests an audience!”

During the meeting of the high-level members of the Nalan Family, a voice came from outside the door.

“The Su Family seems to have fallen out with the Lin Family recently, I wonder what they are here for now?” questioned the Fourth Elder.

“Let them in!” Nalan Zhengcheng commanded.

“Yes.”

The reporter withdrew, and soon after, Su Dongtang and a dozen high-ranked masters from the Su Family entered the council hall.

“I apologize for the intrusion and hope Brother Nalan doesn’t mind,” Su Dongtang greeted with a fist salute.

“Brother Su, what is the purpose of your visit today?” Nalan Zhengcheng asked.

“This is the Young Master Bai Xuantian from one of the ten major families of Jialan City, the Bai Family!

The Young Master Bai has come leading experts, intending to annihilate the Lin Family!”

Su Dongtang said with a smile.

“Annihilate the Lin Family?” The high-level members of the Nalan Family’s eyes brightened.

They had also vaguely heard about the grudge between Lin Feng and the Bai Family.

But they hadn’t expected that the Bai Family would actually seek to destroy the entire Lin Family.

“Not just the Lin Family, but even the Wang Family must be annihilated!

Wouldn’t it be better if, after then, only the Su and Nalan families dominate Azure Cloud City?”

Bai Xuantian’s lips curled into a merciless expression!

“Good.”

Nalan Zhengcheng clapped his hands and said, “These two families, our Nalan Family has long wanted to deal with them.

Since we are forming an alliance, today, our Nalan Family will share a secret.”

“What secret?” Bai Xuantian and the others turned their gaze toward Nalan Zhengcheng.

“The Lin Family has discovered a Spiritual Mine Vein,” said Nalan Zhengcheng.

“A Spiritual Mine Vein?”

The faces of Bai Xuantian and the others dramatically changed.

Then, a fierce smile appeared on Bai Xuantian’s face, “Then, the Lin Family definitely needs to be destroyed!”

A smile appeared on Nalan Zhengcheng’s face; he knew that the Nalan Family couldn’t secure the Spiritual Mine Vein themselves since such a family couldn’t protect it.

By disclosing the whereabouts of the Spiritual Mine Vein, Bai Family would commit wholeheartedly to join forces against the Lin Family.

Once the Lin Family was annihilated and the information of the Spiritual Mine Vein was contributed to the Ancient Noble Families, it would be a great achievement, killing two birds with one stone.
