"Ah? So, Senior Lin, you..."
"That's right. This matter, our Jia Nan Academy will take charge of it!"
The joy had just surfaced on Su Mei's face, but before she could even finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a wave of Xiao Lin's hand.
Xiao Lin's overbearing manner did not cause these Dou Huang-level force leaders to show any displeasure; instead, at this moment, every single one of them revealed a delighted smile.
It worked!
As long as Jia Nan Academy was willing to intervene, they believed that even when facing a Dou Zong-level force, they would still have a great chance of victory without suffering too much of a loss.
The thought of soon being able to annihilate a Dou Zong-level force to avenge their grievances filled them with excitement.
At this moment, these Dou Huang-level force leaders no longer felt the resentment from their medicinal herb storehouses being looted; instead, they each grew excited. After all, after annihilating a Dou Zong-level force, they could carve it up!
Setting aside the matter of resources for a moment.
They knew that after Jia Nan Academy intervened, the academy would definitely take a large portion. However, the territory of a Dou Zong-level force within the Black Corner Region was something Jia Nan Academy could not take away.
Once a Dou Zong-level force was destroyed, then these Dou Huang-level forces could immediately divide the territory of a Dou Zong-level force among themselves!
As long as they had the territory, would they really need to worry about being unable to obtain resources in the future? Thinking of this, how could these Dou Huang-level force leaders not be excited?
At this moment, they seemed to already see the scene of dividing a Dou Zong-level force.
"However, while our Jia Nan Academy will handle it, have you already determined who did it?"
Just as the group of Dou Huang-level force leaders was fantasizing about a beautiful future, a single sentence from Xiao Lin was equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water over them.
Indeed, although their wish to pull Jia Nan Academy into the fray had been achieved, what about the mastermind?
One must know that currently, in their discussions, this mastermind had three candidate spots. Namely: the Black Prison Alliance, the Black Emperor Sect, and the Demon Flame Valley!
In the entire Black Corner Region, only these three forces currently had the ability to accomplish all of this.
But the problem was, who exactly was the mastermind? Thinking of this, these Dou Huang-level force leaders couldn't help but look at each other. They were also in a difficult position.
After all, it was indeed possible for any of these three forces to have done such a thing. First, regarding the Black Prison Alliance, there wasn't much to say. This newly promoted Dou Zong-level force was the most arrogant!
They were expanding their power at every single moment; their desire to unify the Black Corner Region was practically written on their faces.
Over these years, several Dou Huang-level forces had already been destroyed at the hands of the Black Prison Alliance. Therefore, saying the Black Prison Alliance would do such a thing was truly nothing but normal!
Because they were not only thinking of unifying the Black Corner Region, they even wanted to annex Jia Nan Academy later on!
In this way, the Black Prison Alliance weakening the other Dou Huang forces and then taking the opportunity to plant evidence against Jia Nan Academy was something beyond reproach.
It could even be said that in the eyes of the Dou Huang-level force leaders, the Black Prison Alliance held the greatest suspicion!
Next, although the Demon Flame Valley's suspicion was not as great as the Black Prison Alliance's, it was by no means non-existent. Don't forget, the Demon Flame Valley and Jia Nan Academy were originally hostile forces!
In the earlier years when the Demon Flame Valley provoked Jia Nan Academy, they were beaten back by the two mysterious Guardians of Jia Nan Academy.
But even so, Jia Nan Academy was unable to wipe out the Demon Flame Valley, which showed its strength.
Over these years, although the Demon Flame Valley's power was nowhere near what it used to be, their hatred for Jia Nan Academy was even above that of the Black Prison Alliance!
So, strictly speaking from the perspective of framing Jia Nan Academy, the possibility of it being them was also very high.
Because the Demon Flame Valley had the motive!
Finally, there was the Black Emperor Sect.
This was a long-established Dou Zong-level force in the Black Corner Region that was quite low-key.
To what extent was this low-key? It was that since the establishment of the Black Emperor Sect, they had never expanded an inch of territory outward.
All along, the Black Emperor Sect seemed so out of place compared to the other Black Corner Region forces. However, even though the Black Emperor Sect was low-key, they were still a genuine Dou Zong-level force!
No one could guarantee whether the Black Emperor Sect's low-key nature over the years was actually a facade.
What if they deliberately created such a low-key image for the various forces of the Black-Corner Region while secretly engaging in some shady business?
For instance, this current matter.
Don't even mention it; thinking of this, the various Dou Huang-level force leaders all felt it was quite possible. Because these three Dou Zong-level forces all held suspicion, for a time, no one could speak up to answer Xiao Lin's question.
"In the end, it still has to rely on me—no, rely on Zi Yan!"
Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Counting on these Dou Huang-level force leaders, he might as well rely on himself. Fortunately, he had already set the stage and arranged for Zi Yan to take action.
This time, the plan he proposed to Great Elder Su Qian to weaken the overall strength of the Black Corner Region was mainly aimed at the Black Prison Alliance. Because the Black Prison Alliance was too active!
If they allowed the other party to continue developing, it was believed that in the near future, whether the Black Prison Alliance could unify the Black Corner Region was one thing, but the other party would definitely pose a threat to Jia Nan Academy.
Therefore, this unstable force, the Black Prison Alliance, must be eliminated in the eyes of Xiao Lin and Grand Elder Su Qian!
As for the low-key Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley silently licking its wounds, they were temporarily not within their plans.
However, if these two Dou Zong-level forces also revealed ambition in the future, then they couldn't blame him for being ruthless. But for the time being, Xiao Lin had no thoughts of moving against these two forces.
Since Xiao Lin had already set the stage to target the Black Prison Alliance, then what Zi Yan was doing at this moment was already quite obvious.
As it happened, while Xiao Lin was thinking about this matter, someone arrived at the Blood Sect's medicinal herb storehouse, breaking the silence among the Dou Huang-level force leaders.
"Sect Leader, I have a very important matter to report, it concerns our Blood Sect's lost medicinal herbs!"
The one who arrived at the Blood Sect's medicinal herb storehouse was a disciple of the Blood Sect.
To avoid drawing the scolding of the Blood Sect's Sect Master Fan Lao, this Blood Sect disciple did not waste any time once he entered, directly stating his discovery.
When Fan Lao initially saw the Blood Sect disciple enter and disturb them, he was indeed quite furious.
But after hearing what this Blood Sect disciple said, he instantly threw the thoughts that had just emerged to the back of his mind and, with one stride, rushed in front of this Blood Sect disciple.
At the same time, the Dou Huang-level force leaders also turned their gazes onto that Blood Sect disciple one after another.
Gulp~
Suddenly being watched by so many powerhouses at the Dou Huang level and above, this Blood Sect disciple nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It seems Zi Yan succeeded!"
Upon seeing this Blood Sect disciple, Xiao Lin knew that the task he had arranged for Zi Yan to do was already completed.
