Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2399: Plan of Counterattack!

Chapter 2399 – Plan of Counterattack!

Lin Xiao and the others were shocked.

“Accomplishing that in a fifth-level nova source world is no mean feat. I think even all the other nine ethereans added together would still be inferior to him,” Lin Xiao said.

“He controls the two formations of Gladeus. Cultivating at the core of a fifth-level nova source world wouldn’t be less effective than us,” Lin Changkong said.

“His only problem is that he’s too aloof.” Lin Xiong pouted.

“I did notice something when I left, though,” Lin Changkong said.

“What?”

“He’s interested in talented disciples. None of the youths there meet his standards. I think he’s worried that after he’s dead, no one will be able to inherit his mantle. Gladeus has a very complicated situation. The other Infinitum Regal Clans are there, and always restless. He may be strong, but his aloof personality has offended many. Just like our previous two generations of reges mundi, his later generations will suffer once he dies,” Lin Changkong said.

“That’s a common problem in human relationships. He may be young, but he can see far ahead.”

“Indeed! A person can be strong, but that only lasts a generation. A strong inheritance is what’s needed for the following generations to prosper. Take the ebons’ taixi divine eyes. As long as their bloodline remains, they’ll forever stay strong.”

Lin Xiao had the beginnings of an idea. “Changkong, do you mean that Feng’er may be able to draw him here?”

“Right! I want Lin Feng to take him as his master. The occasion must also be official and grand!” Lin Changkong said.

“Yes! That identity means he can protect Feng’er. What’s more, Feng’er’s personality means he’ll repay Gladeus in the future as well,” Lin Xiao said.

The relationship between master and disciple was second only to those between father and son or grandfather and grandson. If Tianming continued growing strong, it would reflect well on his master’s teachings.

Lin Changkong continued, “I also think it’s time to officially establish the tenth branch. In the past, he didn’t feel any attachment to us, as the council hall obstructed him when he tried to establish it. I fear he mentally split off from the Infinitum Swordsea at that moment. Today, we’re in charge of the council hall and the second patriarch has a great reputation within the clan. If we establish the tenth branch, he can officially join the council hall and our influence will increase. The Lin Clan will also have enough experts to be worthy of our reputation as a top Infinitum Regal Clan!”

The Lin Clan had only had nine branches since ancient times.

“The tenth branch….” The Lin Clan on Gladeus was a branch with a thin bloodline. Their swordhearts and swordbeasts were weaker.

The nine branches could be considered the nobility of the Lin Clan. Establishing a new position would be a tall task.

“Step one, take him as a master. Step two, establish the tenth branch. It’ll depend on the people for step two. The hurdle will be the nine branches’ views on our bloodline. Executed poorly, it may give Lin Jie a chance to make a comeback,” Lin Xiao said.

“Yes, we can’t rush it.” Lin Changkong nodded. “So we’ll move Feng’er, force Tianxi to show himself, and announce the matter of the alien monster. My son, Lin Lingxiao, will also go to Gladeus at the same time.”

“Would it work if Lingxiao goes to Gladeus?” Lin Xiao asked.

“Yes, he went before to try taking him as his master, but he failed to meet his standards. However, he still left a good impression,” Lin Changkong said.

“Alright, the Firmament is also quite fast,” Lin Xiao said.

“Seniors, I’ll go pack first.” Tianming had been listening, but he didn’t have any opinions. He did feel amazed about Gladeus’ etherean possibly being as strong as the top ten reges mundi. Lin Jie was twenty-sixth on the ranking, while Lin Changkong was twenty-eighth. If it weren’t for this etherean, the clan would only be middling among the Infinitum Regal Clans.

The Central Shuntian Clan’s number one was ranked fourteenth, for instance.

“Go pack then.”

Tianming’s idea of ‘packing’ was to get Ji Ji to bring her nova source back into his lifebound space and summon back two billion Yin Chens. He let four billion more continue sweeping the swordsea for those two.

“Feng’er, so Yin Chen has ten billion bodies in total, right?” Lin Xiao asked.

“Yes.”

“Are four billion still in the Oldgod Domain?”

“They’re on their way back, but it’ll take a while because of the distance.”

“I’ll send an astralship to pick them up. Tell them to just stay in one spot and I’ll send them to Mount Taia.”

“What do you mean, Second Patriarch?” Lin Changkong asked.

“Yin Chen can monitor and control the flow of battle. Its ability is incredible if properly utilized. Four billion will be enough to cover the entire Mount Taia and reveal all conspiracies. Now that Tianxi’s here to kill Feng’er, Chi Hun might’ve gone to Mount Taia. After his loss at the Oldgod Domain, he must need somewhere to vent.” Lin Xiao looked at Dongshen Yue.

“Yes. That’ll be like putting four billion pairs of eyes in the enemy camp,” Lin Changkong sighed with praise.

“And four billion pairs of ears,” Lin Xiao added.

“Feng’er, I’ll leave it to you. You may not be fighting yourself, but your lifebound beast is worth millions of soldiers,” Lin Xiao said.

“Grandfather, I’ll do everything I can for the Lin Clan and the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan without hesitation,” Tianming said. He had listened to how much thought they’d put into his situation for the past few hours; what reason did he have to not help?

“Good child.” Lin Changkong looked at Tianming with praise. He had seen Tianming’s halos of greatness. Then he looked at Feiling and the rest. “Second Patriarch, how about we revise the clan rules so a talent like Feng’er can have a few more wives?”

“Why? So he can marry Lin Linglin?” Lin Xiong chuckled.

“Can’t he?” Lin Changkong laughed.

“Sure, just marry my granddaughter Lin Lele while he’s at it,” Lin Xiong said.

“Uncle Xiong, Lele’s just too big. Don’t make it difficult for Feng’er,” Lin Changkong said.

“What do you understand? That’s part of the charm of our ladies from the sixth branch. Who knows, maybe he’s into that too!” Lin Xiong said.

Everyone starting laughing, the atmosphere lightening up.

“Discovering these two threats really is a blessing,” Lin Chongyao.

“Since fate’s given us this chance… it’s time for our counterattack!” Lin Xiao said.
