Chapter 1178: The Plan to Exterminate the Clan
"During this foreign invasion, I have always felt that there was a traitor. Three million troops crossed the border to attack, but none of the beacon towers spread out over thousands of miles away were lit, indicating that their way of entering was incredible. The ancient formation of Xihe City was destroyed for no reason. I, Lord He, and the formation master examined it together and captured traces of the power of the earth rule. Based on this, I preliminarily judged that this incident was done by the Earth Clan. Lord He must have reported this to Your Majesty."
The Immortal Emperor nodded gently: "Yes! But there is no evidence for this."
"Now, there is empirical evidence!" Lin Su said.
Everyone in the audience was shocked at the same time...
"What kind of evidence?"
Lin Su said: "The Purple Qi Army sneaked into the crack. I followed them with a magic weapon and saw their landing point with my own eyes. Your Majesty may wish to take a look!"
His brows lit up and an image appeared in the void.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Ziqi Wen Dynasty were clearly visible, and they appeared in a hall.
This hall is extremely old, and the walls are covered with inscriptions, very heavy inscriptions.
Xie Dong's eyes shone brightly: "The palace has nine walls with thick earth patterns on them. It is the holy temple of the Earth Clan!"
"Xie Daxueshi, that's exactly what you said!" Lin Su said, "Let's take a look at the periphery!"
The butterfly spread its wings and flew out from a corner, and images from the outside were also transmitted back.
A red palace stood far away on the top of the mountain, surrounded by countless ochre-colored palaces. A long waterfall cascaded down from above, and the waterfall was golden in color, just like gold.
Xie Dong nodded slowly: "That's right, I've been to the Earth Clan headquarters three times."
"There are elders welcoming you! Do you know these elders, Grand Secretary Xie?"
In the sight, more than ten elders came side by side...
Xie Dong exhaled softly: "The Great Elder leads the way, and the Third Elder, Ninth Elder, Fourteenth Elder, Seventeenth Elder...all of them are the actual heads of the Earth Clan."
The image shook and disappeared.
In the imperial study, the Immortal Emperor's face turned pale. He supported himself on the desk with his hands, and a circle of cracks on the tabletop slowly enlarged, showing the boundless excitement in His Majesty's heart.
If foreign enemies invade, we just have to fight them.
There's nothing to worry about.
However, this invading foreign enemy is connected with the top four alien tribes.
A traitor, and an extremely powerful one at that, appeared before him without any warning and with irrefutable evidence, which gave him a huge shock.
After a long while, His Majesty slowly raised his head and said, "My Lords, please discuss this matter. What should we do?"
Ten words, a big article!
The Prime Minister exhaled softly, "Your Majesty, the Earth Clan dared to collude with foreign enemies, which is really unworthy of the grace of the Immortal Dynasty. This matter must not be let off lightly. In my opinion, we should send envoys to severely reprimand them. At the same time, we can consider reducing the Earth Clan's resource allocation by 30% as a warning!"
Xie Dong frowned and slowly raised his head.
His Majesty seemed to be waiting for him to speak, however, Xie Dong did not say anything.
Lin Su spoke up: "Your Majesty, I do not quite agree with the Prime Minister's opinion."
"Lin Qing, please tell me your opinion."
"Yes!" Lin Su said, "The Earth Clan colluded with foreign enemies and almost destroyed the entire Xihe River. They were involved in treason. If we just give them such a light warning, it will not have any warning effect. Instead, it will encourage the arrogance of all foreign races, leading to the expansion of their ambitions. People will have an illusion that even if they commit the most serious crimes, they will only be fined three cups of wine. How can they be in awe? The entire Xihe land will lose all laws, the imperial power will not be able to take root, and the people will be alienated!"
The imperial power could not take root and the people were alienated.
These twelve words struck the Immortal Emperor’s heart heavily.
The Immortal Emperor said slowly: "According to your opinion, what do you think?"
Lin Su said: "The so-called admonition requires a warning, however, this admonition is not for the Earth Clan, but for the other thirty-five clans! In my opinion, destroy the Earth Clan to warn the other thirty-five clans!"
"Exterminate the entire clan?" The Immortal Emperor's body trembled slightly.
Xie Dong was surprised.
He Paiyun was even more surprised.
Prime Minister Guo Hong raised his head suddenly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! The current situation in Xihe is extremely complicated. We must not do such a decisive thing. Once the rebellion of the thirty-six tribes is provoked, not to mention that Xihe will be lost, even Xiandu will bear an unbearable burden!"
The Immortal Emperor turned his gaze to He Paiyun and said, "He Qing, you are the governor of Xihe. You have been working in Xihe for forty-seven years and you know the situation best. Tell me, what is your opinion?"
He Paiyun was in a state of confusion. He had not said a word since he saw His Majesty. Now that His Majesty had directly called on him, he had no choice but to speak: "Your Majesty! In the past, I held the same opinion as the Prime Minister. The Thirty-Six Clans are powerful and a single move can affect the entire body. We cannot act lightly. Therefore, even when facing the foreign races bullying the human race, I endured the humiliation. However, the foreign races did not restrain themselves because of the concession of the imperial power. Instead, they became more aggressive. If this continues, Xihe will be in trouble. Therefore, I think it is time to make a decision. Even if I have to go through this pain, I have to correct the customs of the people in our Immortal Dynasty!"
Guo Hong said angrily, "Master He made it sound so simple. There will be some pain! If the thirty-six tribes rebel, it will not be just a small pain. It will directly shake the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty! How can we act on impulse in such a big matter?"
He Paiyun was at a loss...
He wanted to say that he had endured it for forty-seven years and didn’t want to endure it anymore…
He wanted to say that even if his life was left in Xihe, he would still go on his journey with a smile on his face...
However, when it comes to matters that could shake the foundation of the country, even if he sacrifices his life, even if he sacrifices all his heroic spirit, how much will it be worth?
Lin Su took a step forward: "Prime Minister, you have changed the concept!"
"What do you mean?" Guo Hong asked.
"What I have been talking about is the Earth Clan! I have never said to eliminate all the thirty-six clans! But the Prime Minister has been talking about the thirty-six clans!" Lin Su said: "This is a conceptual problem. The Earth Clan does not represent the thirty-six clans. The extermination of the Earth Clan will not arouse a joint backlash from the thirty-six clans. It can even be said that the other thirty-five clans are happy to see it happen!"
Xie Dong's eyes suddenly lit up!
The Immortal Emperor's brows suddenly frowned.
Guo Hong said: "The thirty-six tribes are of the same blood. If anyone targets one of them, the other thirty-five tribes will inevitably be in danger. They will all retaliate."
"Mr. Prime Minister, how do you know that the thirty-six tribes are of the same blood? Even a ten-year-old child knows that the thirty-six mountains belong to different camps, and they only think about their own interests. How can they be truly of the same blood?" Lin Su said: "If we wipe out the Earth Tribe, its territory will become a bonus and opportunity for other alien races. I think the other alien races may celebrate!"
The Prime Minister choked...
Of course he has a lot of arguments...
However, Lin Su said something that even a ten-year-old child could understand, which made him more alert before he could defend himself. For a moment, he was unable to speak.
The Immortal Emperor looked at Xie Dong.
Xie Dong spoke up: "Master Lin's words are thought-provoking! The thirty-six alien races, in the past history, we have always been accustomed to treating them as a whole. In fact, they are not! They are just thirty-six races with unique bloodlines. Because their bloodlines form their own system, they cannot be integrated into a whole. Under such circumstances, the situation that Master Lin said does exist. If we destroy one of the races, we can deter the others. Their territory can also be used as a tool to win over the other alien races. If we take this step, perhaps the deadlock in Xihe will be truly solved!"
The Immortal Emperor was greatly moved...
Xihe is in a dead end!
This is the common feeling of the people standing at the top level about Xihe.
Thirty-six super beasts cannot be touched or provoked. They cause chaos in the law and the people, making Xihe no longer look like a place under the jurisdiction of imperial power.
Nothing is right.
That’s why it’s a dead end.
But now, Lin Su seems to have taken a new path. He kills one clan to intimidate the rest, defeats them one by one, and redistributes the conquered territories to the rest of the alien races. In this way, every time a clan is exterminated, there will be supporters. The imperial power will manipulate them and gradually change the rigid status quo of Xihe.
The Immortal Emperor nodded slowly: "Lord Lin! Lord He!"
"Chen is here!"
The Immortal Emperor said: "This matter is of great importance, so we must be cautious. I am sending the Gale Corps to Xihe in the name of strengthening the border defense line of Xihe. Once the army enters, we will discuss the plan in detail!"
"Yes!" He Paiyun was overjoyed.
Your Majesty has truly made up your mind.
However, Lin Su said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for the army to enter Xihe at this time."
"Oh? Why?" If it were in the past, if someone questioned the Immortal Emperor's decision in person, it would be considered disobedience and a serious crime.
But today, the Immortal Emperor was in a pleasant mood.
Lin Su said: "The army's entry into Xihe will really make the thirty-six tribes feel the oppression from the dynasty, and it is really possible that they will unite. This is the first reason. Secondly, the news of the army's entry into Xihe cannot be concealed. Once the Earth Clan knows about this, they will definitely send away the Purple Qi Army in their tribe as soon as possible. Once these people leave, we will lack a piece of ironclad evidence on the table to convince the public to destroy the Earth Clan, which is not conducive to the name of justice."
The Immortal Emperor frowned and said, "My dear minister, what you said makes sense. What should we do?"
Lin Su said: "Everyone outside should stay calm. I will use 50,000 elite soldiers to wipe out his entire clan at lightning speed!"
The Immortal Emperor's eyes suddenly widened...
Lin Su said: "This move has three major benefits! First, the local soldiers of Xihe can directly exterminate a clan, which can form the greatest deterrent! Second, we have a mountain of solid evidence and a legitimate reason to do so; third, before other alien races can react, the clan will be exterminated. When the result is already determined, the other races can only accept it and will not cause any new troubles!"
The Immortal Emperor's eyes gleamed: "I can see these benefits, but there is only one thing... Can you really destroy the Earth Clan with 50,000 elite soldiers?"
"The Earth Tribe's 39 Wanxiangs are extremely powerful. Fifty thousand elite soldiers are not enough to take them all down." Lin Su said, "But if Your Majesty lends me ten Wanxiangs, I can issue a military order to exterminate the Earth Tribe!"
"Okay!" The Immortal Emperor said, "The four elders of the Immortal Dynasty will set off immediately to help you accomplish your goal!"
"The four elders of the Immortal Dynasty are not necessary! Their duty is to protect Your Majesty, so they should not go out lightly!" Lin Su said: "Your Majesty might as well send a secret letter to Luo Tian Sect and ask the top elders of Luo Tian Sect to come and help me succeed!"
"Luo Tianzong?" In the study, the three people's hearts moved at the same time.
"Your Majesty, the extermination of the Earth Clan involves a formation, which is closely related to the art of astronomy. Therefore, the seniors of the Luotian Sect can maximize the power of this formation."
"The formation is amazing!" The Immortal Emperor said, "Mr. Lin, I have placed a heavy burden on your shoulders. Now that you have accomplished your mission, what kind of reward would you like?"
Lin Su slowly raised his head: "I would like to ask for a favor!"
"What's the matter? Just tell me!"
Everyone present was paying close attention.
Lin Su said: "I would like to ask your majesty for an order to allow me to do what I see fit in Xihe!"
Take it easy!
Decentralize!
Senior officials from local areas are often high-profile when facing local officials, but they are often low-key in front of His Majesty. They must never take the initiative to ask for power. This is a very taboo.
But Lin Su took the initiative to ask for it.
The Immortal Emperor stared at him for a long time, and Lin Su waited quietly.
"My dear, what do you want to achieve by taking this power?"
"In the land of Xihe, law and order have returned!"
An eight-word answer.
Simple, yet it reaches the deepest part of His Majesty's heart.
The Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Okay! If you want to do what's convenient for you, I will allow you to do what's convenient for you. In the land of Xihe, do as you please!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Su bowed.
The communication was cut off, Lin Su slowly raised his head and met two pairs of extremely excited eyes...
He Paiyun's excitement was pure.
But Ji Qianling's excitement was mixed with some complexity...
Because her master's sect, Luo Tianzong, was directly appointed by Lin Su and will also participate in the Xihe situation!
Xihe is a wonderful place.
In the eyes of major political leaders, it is a place where risks and opportunities coexist.
Because there is a chaotic situation and extremely powerful forces here, ordinary people see danger, but those who are scheming see opportunity.
Therefore, Luo Tianzong had plans to enter Xihe.
However, the second prince was very wary of this.
Luo Tianzong is his power.
The thirty-six tribes of Xihe are actually also the power of the second prince.
These two forces are under the same banner, but they can only be divided and ruled by the Second Prince. If they infiltrate and merge with each other, the impact will be subtle. The Second Prince does not want to see this, so he prevented the Luo Tian Sect from infiltrating the Xihe area.
And now, Lin Su directly used the order of His Majesty to bring Luo Tianzong into Xihe in a reasonable, legal and compliant manner.
And it serves as a sharp sword to break the deadlock in Xihe.
What's the secret behind this?
She had a vague guess...
"Lord He, I need a batch of holy-level power. How much do you have on hand?" Lin Su's gaze fell on He Paiyun's face.
“There aren’t many Saint-level forces. There are only about eighty people in the entire Xihe City that I can control.”
More than eighty people!
This is probably the high-end aspect of the Fairyland world. In those small worlds, it is hard to find a Saint-level power, but in the Fairyland world, a city lord or a prefect directly controls more than eighty Saint-level powers.
However, it must be said that more than eighty Saint-level powers are nothing in a place like Xihe.
You need to know that all the thirty-six clans are powerful, and the elders at the first level are basically at the saint level.
"More than eighty people, that's enough!" Lin Su said, "Call all the saint-level forces you can control. Also, have Lu Tiangao call all the generals together. We'll discuss matters here in the evening!"
He Paiyun received the order and left.
The yamen was empty.
Only Lin Su's Ji Qianling is left.
Ji Qianling's eyes turned slightly: "What are you planning on by letting the top masters of Luo Tian Sect come here?"
This is a topic that she has always been concerned about.
Lin Su smiled softly: "Why do I have so many calculations? I just need a group of Wanxiang fighting forces to keep the place. Luotian Sect is our own sect. In the current complicated situation, I can feel more at ease using them."
"Really?" Ji Qianling was a little happy.
"if not?"
Ji Qianling said: "I thought you were thinking of getting rid of the top forces of Luotian Sect through the hands of the Earth Clan under such complicated circumstances..."
Lin Su stared at her blankly, with a sour expression on his face, and sighed for a long time: "Senior sister, you...what kind of blow did you suffer in your childhood? Why is your mind so dark? That is our own sect, and my father who loves you the most is also there. I, Lin Su, have been loyal to your majesty, and I am a man of honor. How could I do such a thing?"
Ji Qianling stared at him for a long time, then nodded gently: "I was wrong! I apologize! I'll help you... Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"Go find Zeng Huanxian. I need five hundred and forty of the best crystal pillars for the formation!"
A quarter of an hour later, Zeng Huanxian arrived.
A package was handed to Lin Su. Lin Su stood up and went back into the study room and closed the door.
Time passes.
Lin Su sat cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed.
In his inner space, in front of the formation source monument, his soul entered a state of enlightenment.
This sudden realization was not enlightenment, but a comprehensive sorting out of a new formation.
This great formation was not taught by anyone.
He, Lin Su, is the founder!
The clues of the creation were there very early, and the overall idea had already been worked out. He was now making the final adjustments, and he wanted to ensure that this formation could be smoothly transformed from theory to reality.
The peerless killing formation is its predecessor.
It was inspired by the "Seven Wounds of Heaven" on Juedao Mountain.
"The Heavenly Book of King Wen" and "The Diagram of Breaking the Formation of Qiankun" are its theoretical basis.
The formation of the ancestor of formations, the formation of dripping water and watching the sky, the ancient broken formation of Yandang Mountain, all the formations he had seen over the years... were all inspired by it.
The Array Origin Monument is its database.
This formation is the culmination of Lin Su’s formation.
The emergence of this formation will surely change the formation structure of the world.
It will emerge out of nowhere in an extraordinary manner, and perhaps it can also become the first bold and colorful mark he leaves in this world.
An hour later, Lin Su's eyes suddenly opened.
He slowly raised his fingers, leaving a string of incomparably complex formation inscriptions on the first formation crystal column.
The second one...
The third root...
Outside, the clouds are rolling and the wind is blowing!
From the sun is at its highest point in the sky to the sun is setting in the west!
More than two hundred people stood outside the yamen, feeling the strange pressure of impending storm.
They knew that something big was about to happen, because the city lord and prefect He Paiyun looked very nervous, a kind of nervousness that was incompatible with the great victory at the border.
He Paiyun did not tell everyone what had happened.
However, he summoned all the generals under Lu Tiangao, and also summoned all the high-end combat forces representing the City Lord’s Mansion—the eighty-seven saints!
There's a meeting tonight!
This meeting was chaired by the third-rank inspector from the capital.
The third-rank inspector of the capital city originally did not have such a heavy weight. However, today, it was extremely important because this inspector was a war god at the border, who had just defeated three million enemies with an army of 100,000 and ended the most terrifying foreign invasion in Xihe's history.
He has just discussed this with His Majesty.
So, it is expected that tonight's meeting will be a meeting that will change the situation in Xihe.
If there is to be a change in Xihe, it should start with this meeting.
The Xihe official team felt this particularly deeply.
Many officials are extremely uneasy.
Most of them were pushed up by foreign races, and a large number of them were similar to the magistrate Zhang who was killed on the spot by Lin Su!
They sensitively smelled the scent of great changes in heaven and earth.
However, they do not know how this great change will be initiated.
They cannot see the turning point for the change, let alone the subsequent progress.
They wanted to get some clues from He Paiyun, but after He Paiyun arranged everything, he also entered the yamen, right next to Lin Su.
As a result, many officials were worried.
They wanted to analyze the matter with the alien races behind them, but they took out the communication symbol and put it back again, because they knew nothing about it, so how could they analyze it?
The sun sets!
The Chinese lanterns are lit in Xihe City!
Lin Su finally finished carving the 108th crystal column.
The starlight shone obliquely, and the crystal pillars in the room sparkled with charming light.
Lin Su gently stroked the crystal pillars, and the crystal pillars disappeared in his palm. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. He slowly stood up and opened the door.
Outside the door, an old man stood quietly, his face as red as a crane.
"Master Lin, dinner is ready. Would you like to have dinner first?"
"Have they arrived yet?"
"They are all here, waiting outside the government office!"
"Then there's no need to waste time!" Lin Su said, "Let them all come in!"
The lights came on, and in the prefectural hall, Lin Su was in the main seat, with He Paiyun next to him.
Generals from various places filed in.
Stand on the left side.
Eighty-seven saint-level masters are on the right.
This is the power that Lin Su wants.
The door was not closed, and several high-ranking officials of the prefecture looked at each other. Should they go in or not? The door was not closed, so theoretically they were allowed to enter, but the prefect did not issue any order.
Lin Su said: "Officials of the prefecture, today's matter has nothing to do with you, go back and rest!"
This is a direct expulsion.
"Yes!" All the officials outside left.
As soon as they left, a group of people seemed to emerge from the air, and the one in front was Ji Qianling.
Behind her, eleven people!
Stroll in.
Lin Su raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance.
Yes, the first person behind Ji Qianling is an acquaintance.
On that day he entered Xiluotian, and by some coincidence, he facilitated the return of Guiyuan Temple. Zen Master Wujue said a word to the sky, and then a Dharma shadow appeared.
That Dharma shadow is the old man in front of him.
Master Luo Tian! The current leader of Luo Tian Sect.
He is also Ji Qianling's father.
After Master Luo Tian, there is Luo Tianhuizhe, the current great elder of Luo Tian Sect and also Ding Ziyi’s father.
The third place was a woman with a pretty face, like a young lady. However, looking at her face which looked exactly like a pig's, Lin Su was a little confused.
Could it be that this person is the one in the underworld who, as long as he sees a good man, will start to snatch him without thinking?
Originally, he had a fixed mindset that running into this female hooligan would be a disaster for a handsome guy, but looking at her face, Lin Su felt that this disaster didn't seem to be too big of a hurdle...
Fourth place, fifth place...
Each of them has a powerful aura!
All are authentic Vientiane!
Even the high-level Vientiane!
"Master Lin!" Ji Qianling bowed: "The seniors from Luotian Sect are here!"
Lin Su smiled, stood up, and bowed slightly: "Thank you all the seniors of Luo Tian Sect for coming here at night. Please forgive me for not being able to come down to greet you due to the emperor's order!" (End of this chapter)
