199 Larken Clans Pas (2/2)
”That is right, I was a fool, sorry. We don't need to destroy the city; we just need to kill those who vote to kill you.”
Yale sighed in relief, that option seemed way better than destroying the city. After all, if someone wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have any compassion, but he didn't like murdering innocent people.
Yale was also getting used to deal with Lar. Although she had memories of her past life, her personality was like a child, after hearing some kind words, she was easy to convince.
”Lar, I suppose that the clan in which you have been born this time is the Larken Clan, right? You can't just tell them that you are their ancestor to get free of their restrictions?”
Based on the long lifespan of people at high rank, Yale thought that there should still be people who had met Lar in her previous life.
”Yes, I reincarnated in the Larken Clan and with a perfect bloodline. However, there was a huge internal war after my death and all of those who I knew died. As for those younger ones who survived, I had never interacted with them, so they won't believe even if I tell them.”
After Lar's death, there was a huge struggle for power inside the Larken Clan. Those most deeply related to Lar died from sneak attacks to remove them for being her successors.
”Can you tell me a bit more about that? I had thought that the Larken Clan in this era was righteous.”
Yale would have believed such an internal struggle in the Zhan Clan, but he was surprised that the Larken Clan had faced such problems.
”The one who planned all was an elder recruited from the outside who had married a woman of the Larken Clan. Through bribery and coercion, he managed to obtain a substantial force inside the Larken Clan, and he acted after my death.”
The Larken Clan was comparable to the imperial family at that time; the enticement to control such power was enormous.
”With the strength of the Sword Bloodline and my teachings, we had numerous elders at the Grandmaster Rank and at the Sage Rank, but almost all of them died in that struggle. Even those who had supported the corrupted elder ended dying to protect the secret, that elder didn't trust them enough.”
Regret appeared on her face; she thought that she should have been able to notice the wicked personality of that elder.
”Fortunately, a genius girl of a younger generation noticed the mysterious deaths of the elders and the sudden increase in the authority of that corrupted elder. I regret never having met such genius girl in my life, she was my descendant, but there were too many generations in the middle, and I only interacted with those who reached at least the Grandmaster Rank.”
It was impossible to take care of every genius in the clan, so it was normal that only those who had reached a high level of power were able to meet her.
”That genius girl contacted the imperial family and reported the situation to them; they then revealed the plots of the corrupted elder and executed him. After that moment, the genius girl was appointed as the next clan head due to the fact she was the only one who had the guts to act against the corrupted elder.”
Having the imperial family solving her clan's problems was a great shame for Lar, but she was dead, so it was unavoidable.
”It was since that day that the Larken Clan turned extremely strict with the behavior of their members, the Sword Bloodline was too strong, and the new clan head didn't want it to be used for evil purposes.”
The Sword Bloodline was the stronger inherited bloodline left behind by Yale as that was the only one of three which had surpassed the Law Master level.
”However, due to that event, the Larken Clan turned into a weak clan, and even after a lot of years of recovery, the Larken Clan is just slightly stronger than the other noble clans in the Imperial City.”
