665 News of Divine Heart
“Ancestor…”
Lin Huanyu was trembling in fear. Looking at the solemn expression of Ancestor Lin, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Lin Huanyu, you will stay in the Lin family’s confinement room for the rest of your days.”
“What? Ancestor, please spare me.”
Lin Huanyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately. The Lin family’s confinement room was nothing good. It was just a tiny room with arrays that could imprison any cultivator below the level of a Grand Emperor.
Once locked up in the confinement room, unless one could become a Grand Emperor, they would remain imprisoned until they die! Once locked up in the confinement room, Lin Huanyu would be finished.
However, how could Ancestor Lin forgive Lin Huanyu just because he kowtowed and begged for mercy? Perhaps Lin Huanyu was not in the wrong, but faced with the anger of a top-notch Grand Emperor, Ancestor Lin would not choose to take risks no matter what.
“What are you waiting for? Take him away!”
“Ancestor, please spare me…”
Men immediately came forward and brought Lin Huanyu away. Even the three Quasi-emperors were trembling in fear. However, they were ultimately Quasi-emperors. Ancestor Lin sighed and said, “All of you are also great contributors to our Lin family, but this time, the Lin family was almost destroyed. Moreover, no one knows if that Mr. Lin was really offended. Therefore, I’ll have to trouble the three of you to guard the mining planet.”
The hearts of the three Quasi-emperors trembled. The mining planet was the planet with the most arduous environment, and was a place for exiles. The three dignified Quasi-emperors were also exiled now.
However, they knew that with how prudent Ancestor Lin was, he would not possibly take the risk. They only had themselves to blame for offending a top-notch Grand Emperor. They were already sacrificial pawns to the Lin family, and were already very lucky to not be locked in the confinement room too by Ancestor Lin.
“Thank you, Ancestor.”
The three Quasi-emperors were also brought away.
Ancestor Lin shook his head helplessly. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t do this either. However, they had offended a top-notch Grand Emperor. He had no choice but to be cautious.
However, when he thought of “Mr. Lin”‘s last words, Ancestor Lin’s heart burned with passion again.
“Investigate the clues to Divine Heart? Although Planet Lightshower is not the place where Lin family is the most influential, we’re still better than the Sala family there. If we find clues first, Mr. Lin will definitely be very satisfied.”
Ancestor Lin’s heart burned with desire. This could be considered a blessing in disguise, and he had obtained the opportunity to work for a top-notch Grand Emperor. If he could find the clues first, Mr. Lin would definitely reward him generously.
Just the demonstration of the ultimate Law of Tides this time was enough to tempt Ancestor Lin. If Mr. Lin could give him some pointers, he might be able to make a new breakthrough in his comprehension of the Law of Tides.
“Men, mobilize all the Lin family’s forces to investigate on Planet Lightshower…”
Ancestor Lin immediately began to arrange for his subordinates to investigate traces of Divine Heart. They must spare no effort to find the clues before the Sala family did.
…
“Sister, I’m sorry.”
Wilson bit his lip and knelt in front of Miss Sara with a woeful expression.
The Lin family had released Wilson today, along with many gifts. All of them were to compensate the Sala family. They were very “sincere”.
However, Miss Sara also knew that all of this was because of “Mr. Lin”. He was why Ancestor Lin was so sincere. Otherwise, the Sala family was nothing.
Miss Sara did not even look at those gifts. She glared intently at Wilson. It really pained her. She had showered Wilson with love since he was young, and did not even want Wilson to shoulder the burden of the family. Moreover, she granted almost all of Wilson’s requests.
It was because Wilson might be the closest family she had.
But what happened in the end?
Wilson had betrayed her, and the family!
“Elders, sentence him according to the rules for betraying the family.”
After a long while, Miss Sara seemed to feel weary as well. She waved her hand for the elders to decide.
These elders all had wisdom that came with experience. If he was really sentenced according to the rules for betraying the family, considering Wilson’s actions, he would be dead for sure. However, no matter how much Miss Sara hated Wilson now and how much her heart ached, he was still Miss Sara’s only brother.
Moreover, Miss Sara was the only Quasi-emperor in the Sala family now. She was their only hope. They could not let Miss Sara’s only family die.
“Miss Sara, according to our discussion, although Wilson betrayed the family, it did not lead to serious consequences. Hence, his crime is not punishable by death. He is to be locked in the family’s secret underground chamber. If Wilson can become a Venerable one day, he can be released to atone for his crimes.”
The elders were clearly “giving favors” to Miss Sara. The wrong Wilson had committed was more than just serious. If not for “Mr. Lin”‘s help, the Sala family would have been completely finished.
Miss Sara’s face darkened. She said coldly, “There’s no need to worry about me. How can becoming a Venerable offset his crime? As long as he doesn’t become a Grand Emperor, he’ll stay locked in the underground secret chamber forever.”
Wilson’s eyes widened. If it were just about becoming a Venerable, there might be very little hope, but it was not impossible. After all, he was already a planetary lifeform.
Perhaps after being locked up for hundreds or thousands of years, he would be able to leave the secret chamber.
But a Grand Emperor? That was not something that could be achieved through talent alone. For one to have a chance of becoming a Grand Emperor, it also required opportunities, resources, and so on. Moreover, Wilson did not even have talent.
If he was really locked in an underground secret chamber, he would probably never be able to come out again.
“No, no, Sister, I’m sorry…”
Unfortunately, Miss Sara was unmoved by Wilson’s pleading. She still ordered men to take Wilson away.
Perhaps imprisonment for life was already the best outcome for Wilson.
The elders looked at each other. They could all feel Miss Sara’s determination. They did not dare to plead on Wilson’s behalf. In fact, if not for Sara, they would not hesitate to sentence Wilson to death as a warning to others.
“Miss Sara, what should we do next? The Lin family has already taken action.”
Miss Sara closed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice, “Ancestor Lin is not an ordinary person. Mr. Lin is a top-notch Grand Emperor. Befriending Mr. Lin is a huge opportunity. Ancestor Lin still wants to become a top-notch Grand Emperor, so he will definitely search for clues on Planet Lightshower at all costs.”
“Although our Sala family is not as influential as the Lin family, we are one step ahead and already have the advantage. Immediately mobilize all the power of the family. No matter what, we must find clues regarding Divine Heart in the shortest time possible. This concerns the survival of our Sala family!”
“Miss Sara, please be assured. We’ll mobilize all the forces of the Sala family immediately.”
The elders were also worried. Meeting Lin Feng was both an opportunity and a challenge. If the Lin family was the first to find the clues Lin Feng needed, all the efforts the Sala family had made previously would be in vain.
This chance for the Sala family to rise was not easy to come by. They could not give it up!
…
No matter how the Sala family and the Lin family secretly competed, it was a good thing for Lin Feng. At least with competition, both parties would be more diligent. He believed that it would not be long before there was news of Divine Heart.
Indeed, in just a month, Lin Feng received a message from Miss Sara.
They had found clues on Divine Heart!
At the same time, Lin Feng also received a message from Ancestor Lin. He had also found clues regarding Divine Heart. The information from the two sources was similar, and only differed in some subtle clues.
However, this was just as well. They could be cross-checked with each other.
“Divine Heart, you can’t escape!”
After reading the clues provided by the Sala family and the Lin family, Lin Feng understood. He decided to make a trip to Planet Lightshower personally.
