?Chapter 799: Chapter 354 The Person Behind the Scenes_2 Chapter 799: Chapter 354 The Person Behind the Scenes_2 It could be said that when the Supreme Elder issued an order, the entire Seven Seas Hall had to obey.
Anyone who opposed the Supreme Elder of the Seven Seas Hall was essentially opposing the entire Seven Seas Hall.
Lu Jingtao looked at Ye Mingyi and spoke,
“From the looks of it, you’ve been planning this for a while, intending to extend your reach into my Shocking Seas Alliance.”
Ye Mingyi looked at Lu Jingtao, his lips curling into a sinister smile,
“That’s obvious.”
“As long as you, Lu Jingtao, die here today, I can have Xiao Yinxuan take your place as the Alliance Hierarch of the Shocking Seas Alliance.”
“Then, the Seven Seas Hall and the Shocking Seas Alliance can form an alliance.
At that time, whether it be the Changyun Clan or the Ice God Palace that has remained hidden from the world, none will have any power to resist us.”
Upon hearing these words, Lu Jingtao fell silent for a moment before speaking again,
“I’m afraid that, by then, both forces will have fallen into your hands, right?”
Ye Mingyi shook his head and replied,
“To speak so belittles me.”
“Power doesn’t hold much attraction for me.
I only want to consolidate the two forces to help me accomplish a task.”
“What task?” Lu Jingtao frowned slightly as he asked Ye Mingyi.
As Lu Jingtao’s words ended, Ye Mingyi didn’t immediately answer, but instead turned his head to look towards Lin Jing and his group.
His gaze swept over Lin Jing and the others, lingering especially on Lin Jing, Lin Jue, and the siblings Changyun Yuanshuang and Changyun Yuanlei.
Then, with a sinister chuckle, Ye Mingyi said,
“Naturally, it is to completely obliterate the Lin Family and the Changyun Family…”
Having said that, Ye Mingyi’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Lin Jing and Lin Jue,
“I thought the Lin Family had been utterly destroyed, but it turns out there were fish that slipped through the net.”
“What a nuisance.
It seems that in the end, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and eradicate the Lin Family once and for all.”
Ye Mingyi’s statement was arrogant.
But with his cultivation, he indeed had the capital to be so.
However…
No sooner had he finished speaking than another resounding voice came from afar,
“I didn’t expect…”
“That the one causing trouble in the shadows would turn out to be a fish that slipped through the net of the Ye Clan.”
Along with this voice came an overwhelming and terrifying presence.
Upon hearing this voice, the Seven Seas Hall’s Supreme Elder immediately furrowed his brows and looked towards the source of the sound.
However, the newcomer was swift; by the time the Seven Seas Hall’s Supreme Elder looked in their direction, a figure had already appeared in front of Lu Jingtao.
This person was also an elder.
The elder was as thin as a rake, but the aura he emitted was extremely terrifying, capable of contending with the aura of the Seven Seas Hall’s Supreme Elder.
Seeing this elder, Changyun Yuanshuang and Changyun Yuanlei were momentarily stunned, then could not help but cry out in shock,
“Ancestor…”
“The ancestor has actually come.”
As soon as the two had spoken, a number of presences emanated from behind the group.
Including Lin Jing, everybody hurriedly turned around to look, only to see several more elders flying over from behind them.
Seeing this scene, Changyun Yuanshuang and Changyun Yuanlei were dumbfounded,
“Grandfather…”
“Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, Fourth Grandfather, and Fifth Grandfather…”
“They’ve all come…”
These people were indeed several grandfathers of Changyun Yuanshuang and Changyun Yuanlei.
Previously, Changyun Yuanshuang had said that her grandfather was recovering from injuries in seclusion and also had disagreements with a few other grandfathers.
Now that they had all arrived together, it seemed there was definitely more to this matter than met the eye.
As the grandfathers reached Lin Jing and the others, Changyun Yuanshuang and Changyun Yuanlei quickly went forward to greet them.
After exchanging greetings, with Changyun Yuanshuang’s introduction, Lin Jing and the others also greeted Changyun Yuanshuang’s grandfathers.
Following the greetings, Changyun Yuanshuang addressed her own grandfather,
“Grandfather, what in Heaven’s name is going on here?”
Changyun Yuanshuang’s grandfather looked at Changyun Yuanshuang and Lu Youjiu, smiled, and said,
“Silly girl…”
“Did you really think your second grandfather and the others wanted to separate you two?”
“It was merely a ruse to lure the enemy into acting, a strategy we came up with.”
“Only by having them make a move, can we seize the opportunity to expose the mastermind behind the scenes.”
Hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei turned to look at his own grandfather in surprise and uttered,
“Ah…”
“So it is.”
“Then, doesn’t that mean they are using us as bait?”
Upon hearing this, Grandfather Changyun Yuanlei also turned his head to look at him and curled his lips, saying:
“You weren’t supposed to be involved this time, but who knew you would insist on leaving home and rush to join in; thus, we could only include you as well.”
Changyun Yuanlei felt extremely embarrassed after hearing this.
Yet his grandfather didn’t pay him any further attention and instead turned to look at Lin Jing:
“I presume you are the other heir of the Lin Family, Lin Jing.”
Lin Jing looked at the elder before him and gave a respectful bow:
“Lin Jing pays respect to the senior.”
Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang gave a slight nod and then spoke:
“The relationship between our Lin Family and your Changyun Family has always been very good.
?0??0.??
You don’t have to be reserved when you see us, just treat us like your own elders.”
Before this, Lin Jing indeed knew that there had never been any animosity between the Lin Family and the Changyun Clan.
However, he had not realized that the relationship between the two families could be so close.
Facing Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang’s kindness, Lin Jing found himself somewhat unaccustomed to it for a moment.
Seeing that Lin Jing was a bit uncomfortable, Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang simply smiled and did not say anything further.
After all, the Lin Family had been destroyed, and since they had grown up outside from a young age, they knew very little of the Lin Family’s past relationships.
Such a reaction was only to be expected.
Following that,
Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang directly addressed the group, saying:
“A fight might break out here shortly.
Come, I’ll take you to a safe place.”
Afterwards,
they all followed Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang away from that place, continuing until they had gone quite a distance and felt the location was safe before stopping.
Accompanying the group was another grandfather of Changyun Yuanshuang.
After bringing them to this safe haven, Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang turned his head to the other grandfather and said:
“Laowu.”
“I leave this place in your hands.
If anything happens, transfer them to an even safer location.”
“Hmm!”
This fifth grandfather of Changyun Yuanshuang seemed not to be fond of speaking.
During the initial greetings, he had just hummed in acknowledgment and remained silent.
This time was the same; the fifth grandfather of Changyun Yuanshuang nodded, responded with a hum, and said no more.
Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang, used to this by now, gave a few instructions to the group after making his arrangements, and then left the place, flying off into the distance.
It wasn’t until Grandfather Changyun Yuanshuang had left that Yan Wanfei belatedly exclaimed:
“Isn’t it…”
“What in the world is going on here?”
“Why am I feeling so confused?”
Lu Youjiu looked at Yan Wanfei and then explained:
“Everything we had done before was actually orchestrated by my father and Grandfather Yuanshuang.”
“Even the plan to snatch the person was.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei was shocked speechless:
“Ah?”
“So all our previous plans took place right under their watch?”
Lu Youjiu nodded, saying:
“Of course.”
“I also only realized after Uncle Xiao…
Xiao Yinxuan showed up.”
“This plan must have begun when Yuanshuang’s elders brought Lin Jue to the Changyun Clan.”
“This includes my house arrest by my father, the arrangement of Yuanshuang and Lin Jue’s marriage, and perhaps even Lin brother’s emergence, which might have also been factored in.”
Hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei quickly looked at his fifth grandfather and asked:
“Grandfather, is this really the case?”
“Everything we did, was it all part of your plan?”
Fifth Grandfather Changyun Yuanlei looked at him and nodded in response:
“Yes!”
“It was all planned in advance!”
But having just said this, he glanced at both Changyun Yuanlei and Lin Jing, and surprisingly added:
“You and he…”
“You two were not part of the plan.”
