Inside Qianling Peak's Jadesun Palace, many elders of Lin family were gathered at the moment. Clan Master Lin Duo and Great Elder Lin Ze were sitting at the top, listening to the fierce debate of the people below. Their brows were wrinkled to different degrees. Obviously, the situation at the moment was not very optimistic.
And the content of their debate at the moment was whether to participate in the war of the country of fire or not, and more importantly, which side to stand on.
As everyone knew, Lin family had always been inextricably linked with Akatsuki. After the matter of Beauty's Grave, many people knew about it. And the relationship between Lin Long and Akatsuki's Blue Dragon was also complicated and confusing.
When the Divine Light Sect's Immortal's Mansion collapsed, the forces close to the Akatsuki organization received the news in advance and withdrew, thereby obtaining huge benefits, including the Lin family. No one would believe that it had nothing to do with the Akatsuki.
After this incident, the imperial family of the Fire Country began to suppress the Lin Family. However, the Lin Family relied on the income obtained from the Holy Realm Dwellers' Mansion to survive. Moreover, the Lin Family had developed a lot. Lin Duo and Lin Ze's cultivation had both broken through to the Peak of the Soul Formation Stage not long ago. A large part of the reason for this was that they had brought out a lot of treasures from the Holy Realm Dwellers' Mansion.
Now, the battle between the imperial family of the country of fire and Akatsuki had risen to the level of the entire continent. Even if Lin family wanted to stay out of it, it was very difficult.
"The imperial family of the country of fire has already gathered three fifths of the power of the entire continent. No matter how powerful Akatsuki is, they are absolutely not a match for the imperial family of the country of fire. Why should we follow them to death?" An elder said with an excited expression.
"But Akatsuki is our Lin family's benefactor. We can't burn the bridge after crossing the river!" Someone retorted, but his voice was clearly a lot lower, seeming somewhat lacking in confidence.
"[Akatsuki] organization only divulged some information to us. The benefits in Holy Realm Dwellers' Mansion were brought out by our own people who risked their lives. It has nothing to do with [Akatsuki] organization. Let's not think too much about them." Someone said without changing his expression.
"This time, Akatsuki organization acted too impulsively. Although their several god envoys are extremely powerful, but wanting to fight against so many people of the entire continent is like throwing an egg at a stone. It's simply impossible!"
"The royal family of the Country of Fire has existed in the Southern Ming Continent for tens of thousands of years. Just think about how terrible their background is. How long has the Akatsuki organization been established? What qualifications do they have to challenge the royal family of the Country of Fire? If we stand on the side of the Akatsuki this time, won't we lose all of our Lin family's wealth?"
"It's not that we don't want to admit that Akatsuki has helped us, but we have no chance of winning if we stand on their side!"
…
The entire Jadesun Palace was in an uproar. All the Elders were expressing their opinions, but the outcome was almost one-sided. No one stood out to support Akatsuki because the difference in strength was too obvious. There was no chance of victory.
At this moment, Lin Duo and Lin Ze could only shake their heads with a wry smile. This matter involved the life and death of the entire family. It was no longer something that the two of them could decide alone.
"Patriarch, forgive me for being blunt, but this is an opportunity for our Lin family to completely disassociate ourselves from the Akatsuki organization. As long as we support the royal family of the Country of Fire in the battle of the Full Moon Festival, everything that happened before can be written off!" Someone finally said.
"So everyone agrees that our Lin family stands on the side of the Country of Fire?" Lin Duo looked at the nearly one hundred Elders of the Lin family and asked in a low voice.
"Patriarch, we have no other choice!" A late Deity Stage Elder said.
"In that case, it's settled. I will immediately send people to the Imperial Capital of the Country of Fire to express our sincerity!" Lin Duo sighed in his heart. This decision was also extremely difficult for him to make, but this was the reality. Even if he wanted to stand on the side of the Akatsuki organization, he couldn't reverse the situation.
He was the patriarch of the family. He had to consider the interests of the entire family. He couldn't act on impulse, nor could he make a decision that could lead to the destruction of the entire family.
"Patriarch, have you really decided to stand on the side of the Country of Fire?"
However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the hall. An icy blue light flashed, and Lin Long's figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Lin Long? Why are you back? " Seeing Lin Long suddenly appear, Lin Duo was slightly taken aback. It seemed that he didn't expect his daughter to return at this time.
But on second thought, he understood the purpose of Lin Long's visit. It was nothing more than to make the Lin family stand on the side of the Akatsuki organization.
"I just wanted to see if my family would do such a treacherous thing. As expected, you really disappointed me!" Lin Long's cold voice resounded throughout the entire Jadesun Palace. He didn't give Lin Duo any face at all. This made all the Elders of the Lin family very angry.
"Hmph! You're just a little girl. You have no right to speak here! "Someone immediately reprimanded.
"Do you think I want to speak? If someone hadn't asked me to come and tell you, I wouldn't have returned! "Lin Long said coldly.
She didn't have much affection for this family. If it weren't for Blue Dragon, she wouldn't even have wanted to come back and warn the Lin family.
"In this war, I don't expect you to stand on the side of Akatsuki, but I also advise you, it's best not to stand on the side of Fire Country's royal family, otherwise, don't blame us when the time comes!" Lin Long said coldly.
"Hmph! Ridiculous, you … "
An Elder wanted to reprimand Lin Long, but before he could finish his sentence, Lin Long turned around and left without any intention of dragging things out.
"Let's go and see what she's up to!" Lin Ze's expression was somewhat solemn. As the Grand Elder, he saw more than others. Did Lin Long really return this time just for the Akatsuki? If it was for the Akatsuki, why did she leave after saying that sentence? Or did the Akatsuki really have some powerful trump card that they hadn't revealed?
Lin Duo hesitated for a moment before flying out of Jadesun Palace and chasing after Lin Long.
"Lin Long, why did you return this time?" When Lin Duo caught up to Lin Long, he was already very far away. However, he realized that Lin Long's flight path wasn't to leave the Lin family, but to head deep into Hundred Spirit Mountain.
"I'm just reminding you not to wipe out your entire family in the Imperial Capital of the Country of Fire!" Lin Long turned around and said to Lin Duo.
"Do you know any insider information? Can you tell me a thing or two? I can swear that I won't tell anyone! " Lin Duo didn't give Lin Long any time to hesitate. He immediately swore on his Dao heart that for the sake of his family, he was willing to give up certain things. Furthermore, he was facing his own daughter.
Lin Long fell silent. After a while, she sighed. She decided to tell Lin Duo some things. After all, she didn't return voluntarily, but because of Hayashikawa. It was Hayashikawa who had asked her to return to help the Lin family one last time. It was also to repay the kindness of the past. There was also another matter. It was to pick up Hayashikawa's cheap master from the Lin family, the elder who had taught him the Inferno Universe. If there was anything in the Lin family that Hayashikawa felt guilty and couldn't let go of, it was Lin Jin!
