Chapter 347 Past Dreams 18
As for the Lanling Jin Clan, at the same time as Jiang Wanyin was robbed, the cultivators who had changed their appearance and hidden their identities and infiltrated the corpse refining field of Jinlintai also detonated the corpse refining field ruins found near Jinlintai. In an instant, the entire Jinlintai was surrounded by a considerable number of fierce corpses.
As if things weren't bad enough, just as the Jin family cultivators on Jinlintai were frantically fighting against a large number of suddenly appearing fierce corpses, a group of greedy families, seizing the opportunity and claiming that Jin Guangshan had cheated on them, led a large number of people to rush up Jinlintai and loot it.
While the Jin family members were entangled by the fierce corpses, they swarmed into the various treasure vaults of Jinlintai to loot them.
After they returned laden with their spoils, the entire Jinlintai was left clean except for severed limbs, fierce corpses, and vengeful ghosts. Even the plants like the Golden Star Snow Wave that were planted in the soil were all uprooted and taken back by some shrewd family heads...
emmm...
Everything is gone, yet the number of fierce corpses and vengeful spirits on Jinlintai remains unchanged. Moreover, judging from the situation, it seems that fierce corpses and vengeful spirits are still pouring into Jinlintai from all directions.
Upon realizing this cruel reality, all the remaining people at Jinlintai collapsed and cried out: Jin Guangshan! Jin Guangyao! How many people did you harm in your lives?!
After many days of fierce fighting, on the day that Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning successfully reconstructed their physical bodies, Jin Ling, relying on the protective magic weapon that Wei Wuxian had given him before, protected a few trusted subordinates and fled Jinlintai, which had become a den of fierce corpses and vengeful ghosts, in a panic and disheveled state.
At this point, the entire Lanling Jin clan was reduced to only one descendant, Jin Ling, along with two or three subordinates from other surnames!
He's currently hiding in the territory of his grandmother's family, looking disheveled and recovering from his injuries!
Not to mention that Jin Ling suffered such a devastating blow, in a situation where he has nothing left, will he abandon his former pride and cling to Wei Wuxian like a lifeline in order to turn things around?
Judging from the current situation, Lotus Pier, which has been reduced to ruins and whose resentment is as concentrated as a small mass grave, and Jinlintai, which has been overwhelmed by the wave of fierce corpses, as well as the several corpse refining fields that have been exposed, are not things that Lan Nie and other aristocratic families of the immortal sects can easily deal with!
If the situation continues to deteriorate, even if the Lan and Nie families join forces, they will not be able to stop the cowardly and cunning Bai family from revealing everything to Wei Wuxian!
Given Wei Wuxian's personality, if he knew about it, he would definitely be duty-bound to take the lead and rush to the front line to deal with these thorny issues!
Then, all that effort they've put into preventing Wei Wuxian from learning the truth all this time, wouldn't that have been a waste of their time and energy as villains?!
After reading the contents of the note, Wei Chaoyan and the others, feeling a sense of satisfaction and catharsis, immediately understood the concerns of Lan Xichen, Nie Huaisang, and the others, and why they had been so careful to keep it a secret!
Hiss, this is an extremely difficult problem to handle!
Wei Chaoyan and his group of six couldn't help but feel the same troubles as Lan Xichen and his companions.
Lan Xichen pondered for a moment, his eyes turning cold, and uttered a single word with unwavering resolve: "Delay!"
Lan Qiren: "What are you dragging your feet on? How are you going to drag it out? Problems always need to be solved."
Nie Huaisang gently stroked the fan with his left index finger, his gaze as deep as a bottomless pool, and said with a half-smile, "Zewu Jun, I will handle the Baijia side. I guarantee that not even a fly can break through my defenses and run to Brother Wei to gossip."
"As for Brother Wei and Hanguang-jun, Zewu-jun will take care of them. Make sure to delay the time it takes for them to know the news, including the souls and people of Miss Wei! Remember to do it naturally and without leaving a trace, Brother Wei and Hanguang-jun are very clever!"
Lan Xichen lightly clenched his fist, his face calm: "Don't worry, I've already thought of a good idea!"
Upon hearing this, the impatient Lan Jingyi blurted out, "Zewu-jun, what's your idea?"
Lan Xichen's eyelashes fluttered, and he smiled with an exceptionally gentle and innocent expression: "I deeply feel that Wuxian and Wangji's cultivation has reached a certain level, and they may need to quietly pursue further studies for a period of time!"
Lan Qiren hesitated: "Xichen, do you mean to send Wangji and Wuxian into seclusion to cultivate?"
Lan Xichen nodded and lowered his eyes: "Miss Wei and the others, as well as Senior Zezang, should also need time to calmly cultivate their souls!"
Lan Jingyi looked at Lan Xichen with starry eyes and admiration: "As expected of Zewu-jun, killing two birds with one stone!"
Nie Huaisang paused in stroking the fan, then looked up and smiled: "Alright, that makes perfect sense! I wonder how long Zewu-jun can use this tactic to buy time?"
Lan Xichen paused, then spoke frankly: "It won't take too long, but at least there will be some time to buffer. We can minimize the impact on Wuxian, and perhaps, at that time, we can even use this incident to completely break down the knot in Wuxian's heart, which will be beneficial to his breakthrough in his state of mind!"
Nie Huaisang narrowed his eyes: "Alright, let's do it this way! You and I will split up and communicate every three days so that we can get the latest intelligence and share information to avoid any unforeseen circumstances!"
After saying this, Nie Huaisang stood up and bowed, saying, "Zewu-jun, Mr. Lan, Sect Leader Lan, I will now take my leave!"
Lan Qiren nodded in return: "Thank you for your hard work, Huai Sang. Please take care of yourself and stay safe!"
As Lan Jingyi returned the greeting, his lively voice rang out: "Sect Leader Nie, when you have time next time, come to Cloud Recesses to find me again, and I will definitely 'treat' you well!"
Upon hearing this invitation, a faint smile appeared between Nie Huaisang's deep brows, like a gentle breeze, revealing glimpses of his former self: "Alright, it's a deal!"
He immediately turned and walked towards the door. Halfway there, Lan Xichen's familiar voice drifted over: "Huai Sang, take good care of yourself. Brother Ming Jue is still waiting for you to call him home to practice swordsmanship!"
Nie Huaisang paused, then walked out at an even faster pace, leaving only a hurried silhouette.
“Xi Chen, aren’t we going to see Huai Sang off? The distance between Qinghe and Gusu is quite long. Can he manage alone?” Lan Qiren sighed and asked.
“No need.” Lan Xichen stared intently at the now empty entrance. “Huai Sang is always cautious and meticulous; he must have placed trusted confidants outside the mountain gate. If I go with him, it will only displease him!”
"Alas! What a tragedy!"
Recalling the origins of Nie Huaisang's grudge, Lan Qiren was speechless for a moment, and waved his hand blankly, "Xichen, take Jingyi to do your work. I want some peace and quiet. If you need my assistance, come find me in the bamboo room!"
Lan Xichen remained silent. He and Lan Jingyi bowed respectfully to Lan Qiren before leaving the Cold Chamber.
