When Grand Elder Su Qian of the Jia Nan Academy received word that the various Dou Huang level factions in the Black-Corner Region wanted to crowdfund and raise funds to invite the academy to step forward, he was completely dumbfounded.
He re-read the letter jointly written by the various experts of the Black-Corner Region several times before finally confirming that this was indeed reality.
"No way... is Old Lin playing it this big? How on earth did he pull this off?"
Even though he had accepted the fact, Grand Elder Su Qian still had a face full of disbelief.
After all, while Xiao Lin had told Su Qian part of his plan, he certainly hadn't gone into every minute detail. As for the current situation, let alone Grand Elder Su Qian, even Xiao Lin himself, the primary actor, hadn't expected the effect to be this good!
Not only had the medicinal herb treasuries of the various Dou Huang level factions and lone wolves been looted by him and Zi Yan, but now they actually wanted to use additional resources to invite Jia Nan Academy to intervene in a perfectly justifiable manner.
This was simply too satisfying!
At this moment, Su Qian didn't even know how to describe his mood. In short, this surprise had left him feeling a bit dizzy.
Without any hesitation, Grand Elder Su Qian immediately took the news of the crowdfunding request and sent it through the academy's exclusive intelligence channel into the hands of Xiao Lin, who was currently in the Black-Corner Region.
When Xiao Lin received Su Qian's letter, he was also somewhat dazed.
Originally, leaving the line "Done by Jia Nan Academy" in the treasuries was mainly intended to deflect their suspicion. Now, look at what happened—that single line of text had instead given Jia Nan Academy a grand opportunity to eliminate a Dou Zong level power in the Black-Corner Region.
They would even get an extra payout of resources!
To describe this as "a meat pie falling from the sky" wasn't enough. Originally, Xiao Lin was thinking about continuing to cause trouble secretly in the shadows. Now, that was completely unnecessary.
As long as Jia Nan Academy was willing to take the field and Xiao Lin guided them a little, they could take down a Dou Zong level power that the academy wanted dead, all with the support of the Black-Corner Region's Dou Huang factions!
Note: this referred to "any" Dou Zong level power Jia Nan Academy wanted to eliminate! However, Xiao Lin had already decided on the target during his earlier discussions with Grand Elder Su Qian.
It wasn't the currently low-profile Black Emperor Sect, nor was it the established power Demon Flame Valley, which was still licking its wounds and trying to recover after being crippled by the two elders, Elder Qian and Elder Bai.
It wasn't even the lone wolf Old Man Ying Shan.
It was the ambitious Black Prison Alliance!
The leader of the Black Prison Alliance, Kuang Feiyu, had arrived in the Black-Corner Region roughly twenty years ago. Compared to established Dou Zong powers like the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley, the Black Prison Alliance was considered a young faction.
However, Kuang Feiyu's ambition was massive.
Since his arrival and the establishment of the alliance, he had been unscrupulously expanding his power. Over the past twenty years, under Kuang Feiyu's leadership, the Black Prison Alliance had successively annexed several Dou Huang level factions.
Anyone with eyes in the Black-Corner Region could see that Kuang Feiyu's ultimate goal was to unify the entire region and then stand as an equal against Jia Nan Academy. Eventually, he even intended to swallow the academy itself.
It had to be said, Kuang Feiyu's ambition was truly vast! But at the same time, he was truly stupid!
After all, as long as the Headmaster of Jia Nan Academy, Mang Tianchi, returned, it wouldn't matter if it was a Black Prison Alliance or a White Prison Alliance—he could steamroll over all of them.
In fact, even without Mang Tianchi, the existence of the two elder, Elder Qian and Elder Bai alone was not something other factions in the Black-Corner Region could provoke. Didn't everyone see the last established Dou Zong level power, Demon Flame Valley, try to provoke Jia Nan Academy?
They were nearly uprooted by the two Elders Qian and Bai!
Why was the other established power, the Black Emperor Sect, so low-profile? It was because they knew they couldn't beat Jia Nan Academy, so they chose to play the role of the humble grandson.
But as the leader of the relatively new Dou Zong power, the Black Prison Alliance, Kuang Feiyu had heard of Mang Tianchi's reputation, but since he had only heard the name and never seen the man, his courage had grown over time.
As for the two Elders Qian and Bai, while he was wary of them, he believed that as long as he consolidated all the factions and resources in the Black-Corner Region, he could definitely break through until his strength surpassed theirs.
One had to say, Kuang Feiyu possessed a mysterious level of self-confidence!
Over these years, while the Black Prison Alliance was expanding aggressively, why didn't the two established powers, the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley, jump out to challenge them?
The reason was simple.
In the eyes of those two veteran powers, the Black Prison Alliance and Kuang Feiyu were just jumping clowns!
Why would they fight to the death against a faction that was looking to commit suicide?
It was precisely the concessions of the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley that gave Kuang Feiyu the delusion that his Black Prison Alliance truly had the foundation and strength to unify the Black-Corner Region.
In truth, it was all just his fantasy.
Now, after discussing with Grand Elder Su Qian, Xiao Lin was ready to wake him up from that dream. Coincidentally, the various Dou Huang factions had just delivered a pillow to Jia Nan Academy's head.
Since Grand Elder Su Qian had given Xiao Lin full authority over this matter, naturally, the upcoming contact with the leaders of the Dou Huang factions would be handled by Xiao Lin. Su Qian had already relayed all of this to Xiao Lin through the academy's communication channels.
Xiao Lin didn't refuse.
Don't forget, the reason he left the Xiao Clan for the Black-Corner Region was for the sake of tempering himself!
The first half of this journey could be called tempering for Zi Yan. But the upcoming second half, since he would likely face off against a Dou Zong expert directly, would count as Xiao Lin's own tempering!
"How interesting! With the active invitation from the leaders of the Black-Corner Region's Dou Huang factions, I can now actively intervene in this matter. This makes it much easier for me to operate!"
After finishing the intelligence sent by Su Qian, the smile on Xiao Lin's face could not be suppressed.
After all, up to now, all his plans had been completed beyond expectations!
"Zi Yan, I'm going to meet those unlucky souls you've looted. As for you, I have a very important task to give you!" After making up his mind, Xiao Lin looked with a solemn expression at Zi Yan, who was munching on raw medicinal herbs again.
Crunch!
Hearing Xiao Lin's incredibly serious tone, Zi Yan quickly swallowed a Tier 5 medicinal herb in one go and looked straight at him.
After Xiao Lin had led her to harvest so many precious herbs, Zi Yan now trusted him from the bottom of her heart. After just a few days of contact, Xiao Lin's status in her heart was second only to Grand Elder Su Qian, and he was rapidly approaching that level!
Naturally, she would listen to his words.
Subsequently, Xiao Lin explained his arrangements in detail.
"Understood, I guarantee the task will be completed!"
Zi Yan also agreed with an exceptionally solemn expression. Immediately, Zi Yan reached out and lightly sliced the void in front of her.
With a flash, she vanished.
As for Xiao Lin, after Zi Yan left, he also departed for the location of the Blood Sect.
