Chapter 2459 - The Lin Clans Counterattack Plan

Lin Xiaodao somehow grew even more smug.

I understand now, youre Gladeus Yi Daiyan, Tianming laughed.

Utterly wrong. Yi Daiyan is Ebonias Lin Xiaodao. Shes below me, Lin Xiaodao continued bragging.

How is she below you? Tianming couldnt understand it.

Her luxdaemons are a third-rate power on Ebonia and the bottom of the Infinitum Regal Clans. Only she among them is strong. However, our clans tenth branch is strong enough to contest with the ebon branch there. Were one of the two overlords, and all the factions there are choosing who to side with! Lin Xiaodao proudly said.

Tianming understood now. It was a fifth-level nova source world, but the cultivators there who had cultivated for thousands of years were much stronger than him. How could he lack a challenge?

Lin Xiaodao leaned on Tianmings shoulder and meaningfully said, Let me be blunt, it wont be easy for you over there,

How so? Tianming immediately hooked arms with him and asked.

Listen up! When I return, Ill immediately announce that the Lin Clans Tenth Branch on Gladeus will break off from Ebonias Lin Clan and establish our independence. Well go our separate ways! Lin Xiaodao gravely said.

Huh? Tianming was stunned and turned to look at Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. They had no objections, which meant it was the result of their discussions.

Please elaborate, Tianming calmly asked.

After we establish independence, the second thing Ill do will be to seal off Gladeus before killing all the nova source wildbeasts on Gladeus. Ill also charge the ebons there with a crime and start a war to wipe out all their power on Gladeus! Once the wildbeasts are wiped out, the ebons wont be able to make a comeback for thousands of years. Thus, that world will become our clans personal fief and stronghold and the Infinitum Swordseas last refuge. Lin Xiaodao said the vicious words with a joking tone.

When Tianming recalled him killing Chi Hun, he understood this wasnt any foolish man, but someone who got things done. He actually reminded Tianming of Wudi. However, Wudi was the domineering type, while this fellow was more sly.

Of course, it was rude to call someone on your side sly. You had to call them wise instead!

However, will the ebons on Ebonia just ignore it? Thatll give them a reason to attack you. Itll also go against the Infinitum Bodhimandas rules, so Yi Daiyan and the other Infinitum Regal Clans may censure you, Tianming asked.

You immediately spotted the main issue. Lin Xiaodao scratched the back of his head. Honestly, its the best-case scenario if they come to Gladeus.

Why? Can Gladeus take the heat?

Thats uncertain, but if they send a large force to Gladeus, Ill win.

Tianming thought for a moment before he was enlightened. Ah, of course! If they try to focus on Gladeus, their power on Ebonia will weaken! Itll stop them from causing chaos on Ebonia, and even if they do, theyll have to fight on two fronts. Youll also greatly reduce the pressure on the Infinitum Swordsea.

That was the crux of the matter. It was hard to a.s.sault an ether-cla.s.s astralguard formation. It was so hard that, apart from the ebons, no other Infinitum Regal Clan had the capability. And if they did send an expedition, their people left on Ebonia would lack the ability to shock and awe. But if they didnt... Lin Xiaodao would successfully take over Gladeus and turn it into the Lin Clans second base.

Any other benefits? Lin Xiaodao intentionally tested him.

Tianming lowered his head in thought. Finally, he had an answer. The ebons personally control many wildbeasts, but it isnt a ridiculous amount. Their advantage is to temporarily use wildbeasts in beast waves to attack. When they attacked Mount Taia, many of the wildbeasts that died were uncontrolled. But if they choose to make an expedition, they wont be able to use that tactic and can only use what they bring along.

And? Remember your first questions? Lin Xiaodao asked.

Yes, the Infinitum Bodhimanda and Yi Daiyan, Tianming said. You may be going against the Infinitum Bodhimanda rules, but youre weakening the ebons so they wont censure you. You just need a good casus belli.

That wont be hard. The ebons killed three thousand of their own and used that to excuse using astrals.h.i.+p attacks. Why cant I learn from them? But I wont be stupid enough to kill my own people. Its too easy to frame others, Lin Xiaodao laughed.

Tianming realized something: it was easy for experts to find an excuse to hit people. Whatre you looking at? was a good example.

Honestly, for me its just that the emperor is far away so I have my freedom. Lin Xiaodao grinned.

Tianming nodded, then realized something. Hey, have my grandparents told you about my lifebound beasts ability?

That omniscient bug? Its awesome, I just love it!

No wonder you said so much to try and get me to Gladeus. You actually want my help! Tianming was shocked.

I mean... yes? Why cant I use my dear disciple? Lin Xiaodao slyly said.

Tianming went quiet.

So is it a go or a no go? Be decisive! Lin Xiaodao said.

Yes, but.

But what? Lin Xiaodao was a tad anxious.

Tianming burst out laughing. I need higher pay.
