Huangfu Kong nodded.
He looked around at everyone and said calmly, "This matter may also be related to Chen Xifeng's inability to arrive in time, because the first opponent that your ten clans will face has already begun to take action."
"Our first opponent? Who dares to oppose us?"
Tie Hanshan said in a shrill voice.
Lin Jinglong glanced at them, a thoughtful expression on his face.
If nothing unexpected happens.
It must be Sirius City.
After all, last night, he had already extracted the plan for Tianlang City from Lin Miao's memories through soul-searching.
The city lord, whose real name was Chen Bagu, was still resentful that Huangfu Kong had not invited him to join the Ten Clans of Heaven, so he was determined to kill several members of the Ten Clans to prove that Tianlang City had not joined.
These ten clans are nothing but empty names.
If it were just Tianlang City, with their strength, if the ten clans joined forces, and even with Huangfu Kong added, they should still be able to handle it.
However, in Lin Jinglong's view...
The most troublesome thing about Sirius City's actions is that they're stirring up trouble.
The biggest problem would be if martial artists from other factions across the land felt that Huangfu Kong's arrangement was unfair and started vying for the spots.
"How can the combined forces of ten families compare to the combined forces of the entire world? Even a short-term cooperation would be enough to overwhelm the ten Heavenly Clans. The plans of Tianlang City are probably not as simple as just confronting the ten clans head-on."
"However, before they can rally forces from all over the world to deal with the Ten Clans of Heaven, they must first make a show of force to prove that the Ten Clans of Heaven are not invincible."
"So Chen Xifeng was the first to suffer?"
Lin Jinglong thought to himself.
Even last night, if he hadn't held off Lin Miao and caused Tianlang City to suffer a loss, then today, apart from the Chen family...
Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao Supreme Alliance and Tantai Yu from the reclusive family are also missing, as neither of them will have the opportunity to participate in the conference.
"The remaining few, except for Xuanling Temple, have probably all been targeted, but they just haven't had time to make a move yet."
Lin Jinglong continued to dream.
Afterwards, Huangfu Kong also explained the current situation.
This explains the threat that Tianlang City poses to the Ten Clans of the Heavenly Dao, and his conjecture is consistent with Lin Jinglong's speculation.
Sirius City will take action against them.
But the carnage in Sirius City was just the appetizer.
"Their main goal is definitely to break the alliance of the ten Heavenly Clans, use the forces of all parties in the world to deal with us, and drag this battle for the secrets of heaven into a state of chaos and disorder."
Huangfu Kong concluded.
The others exchanged bewildered glances.
Lin Shuihua said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Tianlang City, it really is them. Our Shuihua Society has found quite a few spies from Tianlang City in Kyoto during this period. It turns out their ambitions are so great."
Li Gong had an arrogant and unruly demeanor.
"I see. It's just Sirius City, not worth our concern. If they want to take advantage of the chaos, why not just kill them all?"
Tiehanshan held the same attitude.
He looked at the Spirit Master, his tone slightly ingratiating.
"With the abilities of the Spirit Master and the strength of the Grand Elder, we should be able to eliminate Sirius City as quickly as possible, right? That would significantly increase our deterrent power!"
The others nodded subconsciously.
They had all witnessed the power of the Spirit Master.
Together with Huangfu Kong, they eliminated five of the most powerful experts, who now regarded Master Xuanling as the national advisor.
The Suspended Spirit Master actually only has nine strands of heavenly secrets left.
He felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously avoided their gazes. Then he looked up and saw Lin Jinglong across from him, looking at him with a half-smile.
Xuan Ling's expression was inevitably somewhat awkward.
Although he received teachings from the master behind the scenes.
This gave him the ability to challenge Lin Jinglong.
But now he has lost a lot of his secrets, and without replenishment, he is not confident that he can defeat Lin Jinglong.
The undercurrents between the individuals were not brought to the forefront.
Huangfu Kong tapped the table again.
“What you say makes sense. I summoned you here to discuss how to deal with Sirius City, but before that, there is another matter to attend to.”
"Is there anything else?"
As a hot-tempered rogue cultivator, Li Gong was used to being carefree and found these plans quite irritating.
With their strength, they could overwhelm their opponents and wipe them out.
As for the rest of the people, if any of them dare to resist, just kill them all. Isn't that a simple matter?
Huangfu Kong sighed and said, "Didn't Tianlang City expect that we would act first and kill them to establish our authority?"
"The Dragon Group has discovered that the forces of Sirius City have been lying in ambush in Kyoto. They have come out into the open and had already started making connections before yesterday."
"The list of the Ten Heavenly Clans was also released last night, so the provocation from Tianlang City was already prepared when we were having our meeting."
Everyone raised an eyebrow.
Their plan was well-prepared, their strength was considerable, and they had even moved up their attack time considerably, but they never expected that the attack from Tianlang City would be so swift.
"In that case, Chen Xifeng is really an unlucky guy. Maybe he's already been killed. What a pity."
Li Gong seemed to know Chen Xifeng, and shook his head with a sigh.
Suddenly, a group called the Four Spirits Hall appeared. Their leader was a burly old man who had remained silent until now, though his expression suggested he had been listening to the opinions of others.
At this point, he said something very crucial.
"Elder, since the Heavenly Wolf City is so powerful, why not bring them into the camp of the Ten Heavenly Clans?"
The old man, whose real name was Bai Jingsong, turned his gaze to Lin Jinglong.
"You should know that the spots for the other nine companies were decided gradually over the course of a month, but for a long time, the tenth spot remained vacant, just to wait for that kid named Lin Jinglong."
"He is now merely a Supreme Martial Emperor."
"The Heavenly Dao Supreme Alliance isn't that big."
"Why not let Sirius City take its place?"
Bai Jingsong spoke very bluntly, pointing the finger at Lin Jinglong as the source of the crisis, trying to convince everyone that it was Lin Jinglong who had delayed things for too long, which had complicated matters.
Lin Jinglong shrugged.
The matter of the Ten Clans of Heaven was already decided when he was in seclusion. At that time, he was still in seclusion and naturally did not have time to participate in this plan.
He was curious too.
Why did Huangfu Kong insist on reserving a spot for himself?
Is it really just to repay a favor?
After Bai Jingsong spoke, not only Lin Jinglong was puzzled, but also the other families, apart from Xuanling and Tantai Yu, looked at Huangfu Kong with suspicion.
"That's right, where did this kid get his talent that makes the Grand Elder value him so much? Could he be your illegitimate son?"
Li Gong bluntly voiced his doubts.
