Chapter 436: Deceiving Technique, Wushuang City’s Unique Skill
He met the sincere gazes of Dugu Mingyue and Guihai Yidao.
Lin Ye pondered for a moment and said slowly, “The two of you are loyal people. I won’t play games with you. The reason why I gave the dragon egg to you is not only because I really want to make friends with the two of you, but also because I have some selfish motives.”
“I believe you’ve heard some gossip in the past few hours. My Lin Clan is suspected to be from the surface world.”
“That’s right. I can tell you this in advance. I’m currently the strongest Lin Clan on the surface world.”
“I don’t have any intention of showing off. I just want to be honest with you. I want you to understand that I’m not from a hidden clan like you think.”
“The so-called Lin Clan is a large family that has been established for less than two weeks. It is a home that I built with my like-minded friends.”
Upon hearing this, Dugu Mingyue and Guihai Yidao looked at each other in shock.
It was true!
Although there had always been rumors, the strength displayed by the Dragon Cave Lin Clan was too different from the Lin Clan on the surface world.
Most people treated it as a joke after dinner.
Anyone who took it seriously would be a fool.
But he never expected that the most ridiculous speculation would actually be true.
If this news were to spread to those media outlets, it would probably immediately become the number one trending topic in the Underworld today.
Even the news of G.o.ddess Zi Lan being concerned about Lin Ye might not be suppressed.
If they sold this to the media, it would definitely be a deal worth ten thousand gold.
Thinking of this, their hearts warmed.
Lin Ye trusted them so much that he told them such important information.
He did not treat them as outsiders at all.
For a moment, they were extremely touched.
“Brother Lin, don’t worry. Although the two of us are not talented, we are definitely not people who speak without thinking. We will definitely hide this matter in our hearts and not leak anything.”
Dugu Mingyue promised with a serious expression.
“That’s right. The Dragon Race and Brother Lin’s Lin Clan are currently enemies. If word gets out, it will probably be detrimental.”
“Moreover, there are too many people with ulterior motives in the Underworld. Every season, the strongest person on the surface will be targeted by various factions. The current Brother Lin can be considered an outstanding person even when compared across all the seasons. You have definitely long fallen into the sights of certain big shots.”
“Once this matter is exposed, they will always be targeting Brother Lin. There are too many potential dangers. We don’t have any other abilities, so we will definitely try our best to cover for Brother Lin,” Guihai Yidao said worriedly.
“It’s fine.”
Looking at the two of them preparing for battle, Lin Ye chuckled and said nonchalantly, “The current situation of the Lin Clan is actually much better than you imagined. Our strength is also much stronger than the information you know.”
“To put it bluntly, without the suppression of the City Alliance, the power in my hands can sweep through all the great cities under the level of main city. It won’t be a problem for me to conquer large cities and some great cities.”
“So strong?!!” Dugu Mingyue and Guihai Yidao were shocked.
Previously, they had heard most of the information about the Lin Clan from the media.
It was said that at the start of the new season, the strongest newcomer, Lin Ye, was a peerless genius. However, there was too much time in a season and it was only the second week of this season.
To be able to enter Cla.s.s 9 and establish a large city civilization in such a short time.
Such heaven-defying luck and strength already made him to be considered an extremely heaven-defying genius. He was stronger than the sons of luck in the previous ten seasons combined.
But from what Lin Ye said, the situation of the Lin Clan on the surface was not merely what the rumors said.
Otherwise, how could a mere civilization have the confidence to attack a great city?
There was a fundamental difference. It was like an ant wanting to defeat a wolf pack was no different from a fool’s dream.
“Before coming to Dragon Island, Heaven Cast City had just advanced to become a great city. However, in less than two hours, it was taken down by my Lin Clan,” Lin Ye said calmly.
“!!!”
Dugu Mingyue’s beautiful eyes constricted.
Guihai Yidao gasped.
Although the level of Heaven Cast City was not high, its reputation was not bad, especially when it came to its forging techniques.
He did not expect Lin Ye to reach out so quickly and actually successfully conquer a great city.
How terrifying.
“At the same time, City Lord Bu Jingtian and the Three-tailed Fox Lady Race of Mystic Fire City have also submitted to my Lin Clan.”
Lin Ye continued to release the information bomb with a normal expression.
“City Lord Qilin, Bu Jingtian!”
Upon hearing this name, Dugu Mingyue stood up, her eyes shining.
“Why? Do you know him?” Lin Ye asked.
“I do, of course I do.”
Dugu Mingyue nodded in surprise. “In detail, Bu Jingtian is considered a benefactor of my Wushuang City. Previously, Xiong Batian of Tianxia City wanted to take advantage of Grandpa Sword Saint’s defeat and conquer my Wushuang City. Fortunately, with the help of City Lord Qilin, we managed to protect Wushuang City.”
“Before I came, I heard that City Lord Bu has already advanced Qilin City to become a great city. He even contacted Sister Nie Feng and Brother Qin Shuang to attack Tianxia City together.”
“In a few days, they might have a chance to flatten Tianxia City.”
“I didn’t expect Old Bu to be so fast.”
Lin Ye chuckled and nodded. This was the first time he heard news of Old Bu after he left.
The Lin Clan had yet to open the door to the Underworld. Their intelligence system only consisted of intel from Mystic Fire City and Heaven Cast City.
It was like walking through a fog.
Fortunately, things might change after this.
He could seek help from G.o.ddess Zi Lan who could use her ident.i.ty as a G.o.ddess of the Divine Kingdom.
In the future, he should try his best to establish his own intelligence department. This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to subdue Dugu Mingyue and Guihai Yidao.
There were too few talents. Most of the people in the main team were suitable for fighting. Such meticulous work had to be done by the locals.
For example, the City Lord of Qilin City, Bu Jingtian, the granddaughter of the Sword Saint of Wushuang City, Dugu Mingyue, the son of the Ba Dao, Guihai Yidao, and so on.
These were all people who had some local authority. With a certain amount of knowledge and high talent, if they could all become his subordinates, an intelligence network that stretched from Heaven Cast City to Mystic Fire City, Qilin City, Wushuang City, Tyrannical Blade City, and even the Northern Region’s Berserker Race could be established.
This way, a perfect relationship could be formed. At the same time, it would open a wide door for the Lin Clan’s initial operations in the Underworld.
Therefore, although it felt like he was not doing anything now, he had unknowingly made a huge move.
“Since we’re all familiar with each other, I won’t hide it from the two of you. I want to build the Lin Clan’s power in the Underworld. My clan is currently in a state of prosperity and rapid improvement. I’m not bragging. I managed to enter the Dragon Cave World in less than two weeks. I believe you understand the foundation of the Lin Clan.”
“The two of you are both geniuses with outstanding talent. Therefore, I want to pull you to join my Lin Clan. Don’t worry, there are no rules when entering my Lin Clan. You only need to offer your loyalty. Everything else is free.”
“Well…”
Upon hearing that they had to offer their loyalty, Dugu Mingyue and Guihai Yidao hesitated.
Loyalty was not a small matter. To put it bluntly, it would be a huge loss if they encountered a black-hearted master.
Lin Ye was well aware of this, but he was confident.
He continued, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t blow my own trumpet. When my Lin Clan enters the battlefield, we always speak with our strength and facts. You’ve seen City Lord Bu Jingtian. If I had other restrictions, with his arrogant personality, why would he submit to me?”
“Moreover, joining my Lin Clan is not to extort favors from you two but to improve together and develop together. Loyalty is only a medium.”
“I know that everyone still has doubts, but I believe that these are temporary. I will use my actions to prove the strength and sincerity of my Lin Clan.”
At this point, Lin Ye turned to Dugu Mingyue. “Little Sister Mingyue, other than needing the Heavenly Dragon Egg, you’re also trying your best to find the Twenty-Three Swords Technique that Senior Sword Saint lost after his death, right?”
“How did you know!!!” Dugu Mingyue was really convinced now.
The Twenty-Three Swords Technique was a peerless sword technique created by Grandpa Sword Saint before his death.
According to her father, that sword technique manual was already extraordinary and had reached the legendary Creation Realm.
This was Wushuang City’s greatest secret.
Including her father, her brother, and the late Grandpa Sword Saint, there would never be a fourth person who knew about this.
But Lin Ye, who was new here, knew.
This was terrifying!
“How did I know? It’s not suitable to tell Little Sister Mingyue now. If you trust me, can you lend me the jade slip for the unique skill of Peerless City, City-Toppling Love? It might give Little Sister a surprise later.” Lin Ye’s gaze was burning as he stared at Dugu Mingyue.
