Chapter 264: The Plan

After hearing what his eleventh younger brother said, Lin Fanxuan ignored him and directly used his spiritual sense to sweep the room more than a dozen times.

After finding nothing, he began to search bit by bit from his own side. He spent at least a quarter of an hour, but still could not find them.

Finally, having no other choice, he said, "!"

Hearing him say this, the Clan Leader and Grandfather laughed again, and Sixth Grandfather couldn't help but glare at them.

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't dare to laugh out loud. With a thought, ten Purple Crystal Scorpions appeared in front of everyone, neatly arranged in a row.

Sixth Grandfather widened his eyes, observing them carefully, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "How beautiful, they look like they were carved from purple crystal. No wonder their invisibility technique is so powerful!"

"I just don't know if their purple light rays are as powerful as the Clan Leader said?"

The Clan Leader chuckled, "At the distance you are standing now, a single purple light ray from these spirit scorpions is enough to penetrate two of your Three Yang Flame Shields!"

Although Lin Fanxuan didn't quite believe it, since the Clan Leader had said so, he had no choice but to believe it.

So he said to Lin Zhangqing, "Little Qing, these little guys look quite beautiful. Why don't you communicate with them and let Sixth Grandfather touch one?"

Lin Zhangqing was a bit speechless; he hadn't expected the beauty of the Purple Crystal Scorpions to have such a great attraction to men! However, since Grandfather had spoken, he could only reluctantly agree. With a thought, a Purple Crystal Scorpion flew onto his hand.

Then he said, "Just don't touch its tail needle, otherwise if you get stung, you will definitely hate me for the rest of your life!"

Sixth Grandfather said with some surprise, "Are they really that powerful?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said, "During this operation, I'll see if I can capture a live one to demonstrate for you, and then you will understand!"

Sixth Grandfather also nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll wait to see your demonstration!"

After saying this, he began to study the Purple Crystal Scorpion on Lin Zhangqing's hand. Sixth Grandfather was truly studying it!

He touched here, tapped there, even pulled its wings apart to pinch them, and had Lin Zhangqing turn it over to study its abdomen. Fortunately, it was on Lin Zhangqing's hand, otherwise it would have been angry long ago!

After a long while, Sixth Grandfather finally returned to his seat and sat down.

"How is it, Little Six? After looking for so long, did you find anything?" the Clan Leader asked.

Sixth Grandfather shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything specific, I can only see that this kind of spirit scorpion is born entirely for hunting and killing! And it looks like its grade is not low! I estimate that the resources consumed to cultivate them must be a significant amount!"

Hearing Sixth Grandfather's conclusion, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but nod. Sixth Grandfather still had a keen eye! He saw the crux of the problem at once.

At this time, the Clan Leader also said, "Qing'er, in the future, if your resources are insufficient to cultivate these spirit scorpions, the clan will support you with a portion. When the time comes, you can tell me directly if you need anything!"

Lin Zhangqing quickly said, "Thank you, Clan Leader. It is still manageable for now. When it is truly insufficient, I will ask you!"

The Clan Leader nodded and didn't dwell on this issue.

Instead, he said, "You already know the plan. Now let's discuss the specifics to see if there is anything to add, and try to ensure everything is foolproof."

"Especially, we must ensure Qing'er's safety; everything else is secondary."

Subsequently, the three of the grandfather generation kept discussing, while Lin Zhangqing mainly listened. Unless necessary, he would not express his opinions casually.

This internal high-level clan discussion lasted for more than an hour before it ended. Afterward, individual tasks were assigned, and Lin Zhangqing returned with Grandfather. The content of this discussion was quite extensive, including the timing of the operation, how to start, to what extent to end, how to position and coordinate,

what gestures meant what, how to collect evidence, how to face the inquiries of the Qingyun Sect without evidence, and a series of other issues.

Anyway, in his view, all aspects had been considered and it was very detailed, which could be considered as broadening Lin Zhangqing's horizons!

As the grandfather and grandson walked on the way back, Grandfather said to Lin Zhangqing, "After the operation starts, try your best to hide well and don't come out."

"If the situation turns unfavorable for us, you must leave as soon as possible so that we can escape. Do you understand?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, but he was only humoring Grandfather. How could he abandon his father and grandfather and run away! The Zhao and Li families combined only had seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, and at least one had to be left behind to guard their homes.

So at most, there would only be six Foundation Establishment cultivators. He really wasn't afraid at all; anyway, running away was impossible! Even without using Lin Zhangliu, he still had Senior Chen Jieyi and the trump cards given by his Great-Grandmother, all of which had already been refined.

As long as Lin Zhangqing was willing, killing two Foundation Establishment cultivators shouldn't be a problem!

Having stayed at the Clan Leader's place for most of the day, it was already evening when they came out, and the grandfather and grandson returned home.

It just so happened that the spirit meal prepared by Mother and Aunt was almost ready. After the family finished the spirit meal,

Grandfather called Lin Zhangqing and his father out, and the three of them went directly to the secret room at Grandfather's house.

This time, Lin Zhangqing already had experience. As soon as he entered the secret room, with a thought, he directly released the Purple Crystal Scorpions and let them wait for orders in invisibility.

Then he stood to the side, quietly listening to Grandfather and his father, Lin Maosheng, talking. Lin Zhangqing knew the content, and his father's reaction was similar to Sixth Grandfather's.

"Alright, that's about it. Your task when the time comes is to protect your son well; everything else is secondary. Do you understand?" Grandfather asked with a serious face.

Father nodded, then asked worriedly, "Dad! Are you sure those spirit scorpions are really that powerful? Can five of them focusing their fire definitely kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Grandfather glared at him, feeling that he had been talking for a long time and his son still hadn't listened, so he couldn't help but say somewhat depressed, "You don't even believe your old man's words anymore? Then let me open your eyes!"

He looked at Lin Zhangqing and said, "Qing'er, where are the spirit scorpions?"

Lin Zhangqing knew this would happen and said with a smile, "They have been in this secret room all along!"

Father heard this, widened his eyes in surprise, and then quickly used his spiritual sense to start searching. This secret room was not big, but he searched for a long time and still found nothing.

Father looked at Lin Zhangqing. Without needing him to speak, Lin Zhangqing knew what to do. Immediately, with a thought, ten Purple Crystal Scorpions appeared in front of Father, neatly arranged in a row.

Father was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He recognized these spirit scorpions; he hadn't expected them to grow wings after advancing in grade.

At this time, Grandfather spoke again, "Qing'er, let one of the little guys shoot a purple light ray at the ground, so your father can understand their attack power!"

Lin Zhangqing agreed, then with a thought, a Purple Crystal Scorpion flew up and shot a purple light ray at the ground.

On the rocky ground of the secret room, a hole two fingers wide immediately appeared. Without needing anyone to remind him, Lin Maosheng immediately probed his spiritual sense into it to measure, and found that the depth was actually more than two and a half feet, close to three feet!
