"If I didn't have some leverage over you, how could I believe you would go to great lengths to help me find the ancient scriptures?"
Lin Feng said casually.
"If I remember correctly, you said the suspect you recently apprehended is named Luo Qing. He's your youngest son's teacher and has a very close personal relationship with him, right?"
"So what? You wouldn't doubt Ning'er, would you? He's my own son, how could he betray me?"
"Who can be sure they won't betray you? In any case, your youngest son is also a suspect, but he alone isn't enough, because I've heard that he's not very talented and isn't valued by you. So, to prevent you from just going through the motions, Luo Haoqun must come with us too!"
Luo Shengfeng wanted to refuse again.
However, Lin Feng's attitude was very firm, and he made it clear that if he refused, the Lin family would immediately mobilize all its forces and launch a full-scale war against the Luo family!
Luo Ning knows his father better than anyone else.
Luo Shengfeng was certainly not afraid of war; in fact, he had wanted to fight the Lin family for a long time!
What he feared was being branded as a person who broke his word. After all, for this old man, reputation was his face. What difference was there between having a bad reputation and being slapped in the face?
The Northern Divine Realm believes in the supremacy of the strong, but many forces also have their own principles.
Even if Luo Shengfeng defeats the Lin family, so what? They won't believe in a dishonest villain!
Luo Ning shook his head inwardly, feeling quite depressed.
It seems I'll have to make the trip myself; how could I have overlooked this issue back then!
The Lin family is not like the Luo family; their territory is truly an impregnable fortress. With his cultivation at the Overlord Realm, it would be almost impossible for him to escape, not to mention that they are two outsiders and would be subject to very strict surveillance by the Lin family.
After a long pause, Luo Shengfeng finally gave in.
"Okay, I can agree to that."
"However, you must swear an oath to heaven that you will not harm my two sons, Lin Feng, is that acceptable?"
"Of course, I, Lin Feng, have no ulterior motives, so what is there to be afraid of?"
A heavenly oath is a vow witnessed by the heavens. Once broken, one will die instantly without any chance of resistance.
Seeing that Lin Feng had honestly sworn an oath, Luo Shengfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he didn't want to do this, but Lin Feng really suspected Luo Ning, so in order to avoid alerting Luo Ning, he took the initiative to send his eldest son away as well.
In order to find the person behind it all, he was even willing to temporarily set aside his feud with the Lin family and temporarily cooperate with Lin Feng.
Of course, it was just a matter of reaching a cooperation agreement with Lin Feng. If it were that old geezer Lin Chen, let alone a cooperation, Luo Shengfeng would feel that even saying a word to him would be superfluous.
Luo Shengfeng was completely deceived by Lin Feng. He was now certain that a third party had intervened in the affairs of the two races, intending to provoke a full-scale war.
The feud between the Lin and Luo clans has lasted for far too long. Luo Shengfeng has already waited for decades, and he doesn't mind waiting a few more months.
Compared to this, the third party lurking in the shadows is clearly more threatening.
Solve this problem first, then it won't be too late to resolve the feud between the two tribes.
If it's true that Luo Ning had contact with the person behind the scenes...
Then just kill him.
Luo Shengfeng knew that Luo Ning was the prime suspect. As for Luo Haoqun, he spent all his time cultivating by his side and was given a full schedule of lessons. Let alone finding time to contact the thieves, even chatting with others was a luxury.
Luo Shengfeng wasn't worried that it was a scheme orchestrated by people from the Northern Divine Region; what he was worried about was that someone from outside the Northern Divine Region had infiltrated and was using this opportunity to sow discord.
He did indeed wish he could kill Lin Chen, but this was a feud within the Northern Divine Region. If outsiders were involved, he and the Lin family would inevitably fight together against them.
"Wait, I have another request. I want to leave a wisp of my divine soul in both of them. Is that alright?"
To avoid Lin Feng from playing tricks, Luo Shengfeng planned to keep a few more tricks up his sleeve.
"nature."
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
This is good news for Luo Haoqun, but not for Luo Ning.
The presence of Luo Shengfeng's soul within his body means that his physical condition is constantly being monitored.
After the two left, Lin Feng returned to his family. On the way, Elder Xue couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"Tell me, what is the current situation between the Lin family and the Luo family?"
"Then it's a fight to the death!"
“That’s right, so Luo Shengfeng is no longer suitable to sit in the position of family head.” Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, “I plan to take this opportunity to directly pull him down from that position and replace him with someone who is easier to control.”
"Luo Haoqun? What do you plan to do?"
"First, bring the two of them to my Lin family, then separate them. I will also let Luo Haoqun cultivate the fake copy that Luo Ning stole. If this is done under Luo Shengfeng's nose, it will definitely arouse his suspicion."
"I understand. The brothers are suspicious and wary of each other. You plan to ignite the feud between the two, then incite Luo Haoqun's dissatisfaction with Luo Shengfeng, and ultimately vie for the position of family head, is that right?"
“But… Luo Haoqun is only at the Divine Tribulation Realm. Even if he can break through quickly with the help of cultivation techniques, it is still not very suitable for him as the head of the family.”
Lin Feng sneered.
"It doesn't matter. I only wanted a puppet anyway. Whether it's suitable or not is not important. With the support of my Lin family, what can happen even if it's not suitable?"
"How do you plan to pass on the cultivation technique to Luo Haoqun?"
"Heh...Isn't there a demonic soul within the Luo clan?"
Old Xue was speechless for a moment.
At the Lin Clan's residence, atop a tall tower, stood a figure in black robes with his hands behind his back, his body surging with demonic energy, exuding a profound aura.
