Chapter 344 - Night in the Forbidden City (1/2)

There were three men sitting in the meeting hall.

They were Lin Tianlong, the leader of Westbrook Lin, Lin Nianshan, the leader of Floating-cloud Lin, and Lin Pingdu, the leader of Flying-peak Lin.

There were all powerful and influential men in Tao Insight Realm. Each of them was in charge of a branch of Lin’s lineage.

Today, they gathered together rarely and their looks were the same gloomy.

They had learned everything happened on Heart-cleansing Peak from Xiao Fengru. They didn’t expect that witless young man dared to refuse their proposals!

What annoyed them most was that the young man abolished their Guest Deacons’ cultivation. Such arrogant behavior assaulted their dignity completely!

“A bunch of rubbish, get out of here!”

Finally, Lin Tianlong, the leader of Westbrook Lin, who was sitting in the middle, opened his mouth. His voice sounded like thunder in the spacious hall.

Xiao Fengru and other two guest deacons suddenly became extremely miserable. They got up from the ground and left in a dejected way.

Apparently, they were useless men after losing their cultivation!

It could be predicted that when they leave the conference hall, all the status and worship they once enjoyed would be gone.

This was the revenge from Lin Xun. Although he didn’t kill them, he abolished their cultivation, which was cruel for them than killing them!

“He is deliberately against us.”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianlong longed his faced and opened his mouth. His eyes were full of chills.

“How could a young man win a tough fight against us? He is really fearless and ignorant.”

On the other side, Lin Nianshan, the leader of Floating-cloud Lin, sneered.

“What are you going to do?”

However, Lin Pingdu, the leader of Flying-peak Lin, seemed quite calm and said, “This young man controlled the Seal of Heart-cleansing and took charge of Heart-cleansing Peak. We have no way to make him hand over his power.”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Tianlong and Lin Nianshan’s faces became gloomier.

This was really a tough problem. If Lin Xun was killed, Heart-cleansing Peak would be taken away by the imperial family. Lin Family would completely lose it in that way.

But it was hard to let collateral clans return to Heart-cleansing Peak and take charge of the power in a proper way if Lin Xun was still alive!

They three were nominally the leaders of the three branches of Lin Family, but none of them was a patriarch of the whole Lin Family!

This was the difference in power.

“Tianlong, you are always resourceful. How do you think about it?”

Lin Pingdu looked at Lin Tianlong, who sat in the center.

“It’s easy to deal with him if he is alone. But now there is a strong Tao Insight Realm man around him. It’s a bit tricky.”

Lin Tianlong frowned, “We may be able to kill this strongman by begging any of our three ancestors. But the most troublesome thing is that even if we kill this strongman, we still have nothing to do with him if that boy would rather die than surrender to us.”

The other two were suddenly silent.

What bothered them most was the ownership of Heart-cleansing Peak. Lin Xun was the only qualified one to inherit it.

Even if they wanted to deal with Lin Xun, they had to make a completely safe plan.

“Since we can’t kill him directly, we can use some underhanded means.”

Suddenly, a cruelness flashed through Lin Tianlong’s eyes, “I don’t believe he will hide in Heart-cleansing Peak all his life. Once he leaves Heart-cleansing Peak, we will have thousands of ways to control him!”

Lin Nianshan’s eyes brightened, “What do you mean?”

Lin Pingdu, on the other side, seemed to understand at once. He said with a smile, “It’s a good idea. As long as we keep him alive, we can turn him into our puppet. No matter what means we use, it’s enough for us to control him.”

Lin Nianshan also understood and continued with thoughts, “There are many ways to do this. We can arrest him by poisoning, kidnapping, sneaking attack, etc. And then we can control his body and soul by some fierce secret methods. At that time, we can order him easily as he will be an idiot and lost his self-consciousness.”

Before he finished his speaking, Lin Tianlong and Lin Pingdu beside him couldn’t help laughing.

But Lin Tianlong looked solemn and said immediately, “Dudes, it’s better for us three to know about this. Don’t leak it to others.”

Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu nodded, “Got it.”

They were all leaders of forces. How couldn’t they know the importance of this matter? If it was spread out, their reputation would be greatly damaged even if they could finally control Heart-cleansing Peak.

After all, in terms of seniority, they were Lin Xun’s elders and relatives. It was disgraceful for them to murder the younger generation as elders in the same clan.

“So that’s the deal.”

Lin Tianlong said in a deep voice, “Next, I hope that you will send your respective elite forces and work with me to settle this case as soon as possible. After that, it will be the time for our three families to return to Heart-cleansing Peak!”

Lin Nianshan and Lin Pingdu agreed at the same time.

“By the way, what’s the attitude of Northlight Lin?”

Lin Pingdu suddenly asked.
