Beastmaster of the Ages

“Huh?” Lin Xiaoyun was suddenly reminded of the matter and frowned. “Jianjia, didn’t we agree that we’d only act after Lin Bei won? Quickly tell Lin Wuxing to stop the mission! Now that Lin Xiao won, they’ll definitely investigate if Lin Xiaogui goes missing! And if the trail leads to you, it’ll spell trouble.” The result of the successor override had had a huge impact on Lin Jianjia’s operation.

“Dad! How can we stop now? I’ve wanted to kill Lin Xiaogui for a long time. It has nothing to do with whether they win or not. What’s more, look at how smug that family is now. Can you stand it? If we don’t put them in their place, they’re just going to get more arrogant! What’s more, no one knows that Lin Wuxing joined the Flower of Ebony as an assassin. It won’t leave behind any traces if he kills Lin Xiaogui in some corner of the Infinitum Swordsea. Based on the Flower of Ebony’s rules, how can the second branch trace it back to us? Even if he dies, Lin Wuxing won’t reveal his client.” Lin Jianjia put on the waterworks.

Lin Xiaoyun’s frown deepened after hearing her.

“Dad! Do you know how humiliated I was then? I’ve never been so humiliated before! Many people have been mocking me since then. I’ve wished for the Grandvoid Compendium for so long, but a piece of trash stole it away from me. My mental state nearly collapsed, you know? If you don’t give me this chance to vent, I’ll feel so bad. Dad, don’t you love me the most? Take pity on me just this once, okay?” Lin Jianjia held tight to Lin Xiaoyun’s hand as she tried tugging on his heartstrings.

Lin Xiaoyun’s expression wavered when he saw his daughter’s state. He took one last look at Tianming’s group, who was surrounded by the second branch. “Pass me the transmission stone. Let me say a few words to Lin Wuxing.”

“Yes! Thank you, Daddy! I love you!” Lin Jianjia finally smiled. To her, she could accept it if someone beat her in strength. But not Lin Xiaogui! That was a rat she had toyed with since they were young; how could it bite back?

It was unacceptable! Thus, she had to be purged!

……

Lin Xiao, Dongshen Yue, and Lin Xiong were still chatting.

Tianming was still in a good mood, but his expression suddenly changed. “Grandfather, Grandmother, I have something to report.”

“Can Old Xiong listen in?” Dongshen Yue asked.

“Yes.”

Theirs was a small circle, so Tianming quickly informed them of what Yin Chen had heard. It really was just in time! After Yin Chen had woken up, Tianming had hurriedly told it to spread through the Infinitum Swordsea. It had vastly increased its numbers the day before, and now that the battle was over, Tianming had taken the resulting chaos as an opportunity to spread eighty million silver eggs.

Fifty million had gone to the Swordsoul Purgatory to continue multiplying. The remaining thirty million had turned into tiny invisible cockroaches and spread everywhere. Thus, Yin Chen’s bodies were still quite dense in the immediate surrounding area. Furthermore, Tianming had been very interested to see how Lin Xiaoyun and the rest were reacting, so he’d specifically directed quite a few Yin Chens in that direction.

Lin Xiaoyun and Lin Jianjia hadn’t thought that others would be around them, so they had simply discussed their matters freely there, even though it wasn’t a secret area. But Yin Chen’s stealth abilities had risen to another level after becoming a myriadstar beast.

And that was how a piece of infuriating news made its way to Tianming’s ears.

It also made him realize that he had to quickly spread Yin Chens out through the Infinitum Swordsea and Ebonia to avoid suffering potential tragedies in the future.

“After bullying someone for decades, she even wants to kill them after they retaliate once. What a weak heart she has.” Lin Xiao shook his head.

“That isn’t a fragile heart, it’s one that’s full of evil! Her parents only ever looked at her achievements and never bothered teaching her morals! Crooked trees cast no straight shadows after all! Lin Xiaoyun and Lin Wuyi are the same kind and produced the same kind of child.” Dongshen Yue grit her teeth.

“Grandmother, should we quickly go and save Xiaogui now?” Tianming said.

“Don’t worry, I left a whitecloud bonebug on her. It can protect her for a while. I already predicted that bunch were all bad eggs, I just didn’t expect they would go as far as murder! They even dare to use the Flower of Ebony. How amazing!” Dongshen Yue’s gaze was sinister.

“Sis-in-law, your intention is to counterscheme them?” Lin Xiong asked in a low voice.

Tianming hurriedly cut in. “Grandmother, I know Xiaogui’s current position and can contact her.”

It was mostly thanks to Yin Chen’s habit of attaching itself to familiar faces. It had kept some bodies on Xiaogui ever since she’d brought them to the Swordsoul Purgatory. She thought they were children from a broodmother, so she hadn’t cared.

“Then I’ll go to where she is. Lead the way,” Lin Xiao said. Keeping Xiaogui safe was the foremost priority.

“Grandfather, it’ll go with you.” Tianming placed a golden spider on Lin Xiao’s hand, making him jump in fright.

“What’s this?”

“It’s my lifebound beast.”

“It can lead the way?” Lin Xiao was doubtful

“Hello there... dear Grandfather,” the little spider said, stunning everyone.

“My god!”

“It’s the one that heard Lin Jianjia. Just trust it and go!” Tianming said.

“Even the children have intelligence? That’s not possible!” Dongshen Yue was utterly shocked as a broodmaster-type beastmaster.

“I’ll tell you later.”

Lin Xiao quickly left. Many second branch disciples were still around and were startled to suddenly see Lin Xiao vanish.

“Feng’er, contact Xiaogui. I don’t have any transmission stones for her,” Dongshen Yue said.

“Right, I’ll be relying on this insect.” Tianming said. Dongshen Yue would definitely ask more about the insect’s abilities later on.

Dongshen Yue took a golden ladybug from Tianming. “You can pass a message to Xiaogui?”

“Of course... dear Grandmother!” Yin Chen was excited to finally flaunt its abilities.

“Tell her that the second patriarch is on his way to protect her, but he won’t show himself. Ask her if she has any recording formations on her and tell her to activate one if she does. The whitecloud bonebug on her can protect her from one attack. Also, tell her to think of a way to suss out the mastermind. That’ll be perfect. If she can’t, the second patriarch will still protect her and capture the assassin and we’ll leave the rest of the details to her,” Dongshen Yue said.
