Chapter 783 (1/2)

Chapter 783: Chapter 347: The Plan to Poach People Chapter 783: Chapter 347: The Plan to Poach People Lin Jing had grown accustomed to Yan Wanfei’s sudden bursts of ideas.

Even Holaw Three Rivers merely gave him a blank look, too weary to offer further comment.

Then.

Lin Jing inquired about the purpose of their visit.

After their explanation, Lin Jing finally understood that Yan Wanfei and Holaw Three Rivers had come here to stage a ‘kidnapping’ with Lu Youjiu.

Taking someone from the Changyun Clan was a bold thought indeed.

After all, this was the Changyun Clan they were dealing with; setting aside whether they could actually ‘kidnap’ the person, just entering the Chang Yun Archipelago where the clan was located was surely no easy task, right?

Attempting to ‘kidnap’ someone directly was undoubtedly impractical.

Even if one were incredibly lucky and actually succeeded, could they really ensure they could get away with the person unharmed?

Lin Jing then shared his concerns with them.

They listened and said not to worry, as long as they could get the person out of the Changyun Clan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was utterly confused and even more perplexed.

Seeing his confusion, they exchanged a glance…

and then they began to explain to Lin Jing.

This marriage hurriedly arranged by the Changyun Clan actually wasn’t the will of all clan members, but rather a scheme by only a part of the clan.

The reason for the Changyun Clan’s haste lay in a calamity it had faced, similar to one the Lin Family had once suffered, within the last hundred years.

This calamity had emerged so strangely and suddenly, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the downfall that had happened to the Lin Family before their decline.

It was hard not to let one’s imagination run wild with such coincidences.

Thus.

Some within the Changyun Clan began to believe it was true, considering the calamity to be the result of envy from the heavens against an Ancient Alchemy Family that had survived for too long, and something that had to be endured.

Surviving this challenge would mean the Changyun Clan could continue to exist; failure to do so meant the entire family would dissipate like smoke.

Especially with the precedent of the Lin Family, many within the Changyun Clan strongly believed in this theory.

Of course.

These people only represented a part of the Changyun Clan and could not speak for the entire clan.

There was another faction within the Changyun Clan that regarded the calamity as mere superstition, convinced that all these events were the result of someone’s machinations, part of a conspiracy targeting their clan.

Within the Changyun Clan, opinion was divided between these two theories, forming two factions.

The faction that saw it as a calamity continuously gathered various materials related to ancient families to find a way to overcome it.
