Chapter 2469: As Long As It's Mr. Zhang's Orders! I Will Absolutely Comply!

At the same time, the Wan Nu King would no longer go looking for Wang Canghai, because Zhang Lin would absolutely mobilize every resource at his disposal.

And use everything he had mastered to deal with this Wan Nu King—after all, a thing that was neither human nor ghost, neither demon nor devil, having it remain in this world would bring absolutely no benefit.

Even if it weren't for this reason, Zhang Lin, simply out of personal interest, wanted to see exactly how much substance this Wan Nu King truly had; that was the thought Zhang Lin harbored.

It was just that at that time this notion was deeply rooted, yet as circumstances kept changing, and as Wang Canghai used his own way to tell Zhang Lin that he would absolutely never make that kind of choice.

Then afterward Zhang Lin understood how he should face this matter. He had given Wang Canghai a chance; if Wang Canghai himself didn't cherish it, he couldn't blame Zhang Lin for taking things step by step to the absolute end, then driving Wang Canghai to the edge of a cliff, leaving him with no path of retreat whatsoever.

At this moment Wang Canghai's heart no longer wrestled with anything—he became extremely resolute, because he could only move forward; any single step back would be an abyss ten thousand fathoms deep.

He was also convinced that all of this was caused by Zhang Lin, and had nothing to do with himself. Perhaps this was the essential difference between him and Wang Cen.

Wang Cen, at least when facing a dead end, understood that all of this was brought on by himself; but Wang Canghai remained forever so obstinately lost. At this point Zhang Lin no longer wanted to think about those things either.

In any case, according to his calculations, when Wang Canghai truly reached the Second Archaeological Team, he would be fully able to handle it.

Moreover, the people the Wang family sent could also serve as cannon fodder; they could hold Wang Canghai back. One outcome Zhang Lin was now grateful for was that, at the very least, these people didn't know Wang Canghai was still alive.

And they also didn't know that the faith in their hearts hadn't yet collapsed. Perhaps most people were different from Wang Cen—they didn't believe in Wang Canghai himself, they believed in power and interests themselves.

The reason they could remain within the Wang family and maintain such loyalty was that from childhood they had already formed the habit, and the proportion of such people wouldn't change either.

The people Mr. Wang sent out this time, Zhang Lin knew for certain were absolutely not the elite of the elite; their combat strength wouldn't be especially strong either.

Because the previously formidable squads had basically already been wiped out almost entirely, especially the team Leng Feng led—now only Wang Cen remained.

But all of this was now within Zhang Lin's control; he could use methods like this to influence far too many things. Based on this, Zhang Lin wasn't worried that the people sent out were less than satisfactory.

As long as they could help him accomplish these matters, that was enough; let alone these people truly stopping Wang Canghai—that was basically impossible.

What Zhang Lin needed to do now was simply let these people understand what path they should take next, and the actions they took could also serve as a warning to the Second Archaeological Team.

Perhaps the Second Archaeological Team's subsequent pace was destined to be delayed by Wang Canghai's arrival, and what form Wang Canghai would initially use to target the Second Archaeological Team—Zhang Lin had also guessed most of it by now.

According to his inference, based on Wang Canghai's habits, he absolutely wouldn't come out swinging right from the start; he would certainly use his current method of putting on a bit of disguise, then join the Second Archaeological Team.

Even if the Second Archaeological Team had suspicions, he would have a way to convince them to take him along, even inside the tomb.

He was doing this to show Zhang Lin—other people in this world might not recognize his disguise, but Zhang Lin would certainly be able to tell at first glance that he was Wang Canghai.

At that point Zhang Lin would have two choices: either advise the Second Archaeological Team to strike directly, in which case Wang Canghai would also have reason to wipe them all out.

Because all of that would be brought on by Zhang Lin himself. The other possibility was that Zhang Lin would go with the flow and let Wang Canghai follow the Second Archaeological Team just like that.

But that would also logically allow Wang Canghai to continue delving deeper into the culture of the Demon Kingdom, and he could obtain the Muchen Zhu at any time.

When the time came, he'd have leverage against Zhang Lin. Naturally Zhang Lin had thought all of this through; but according to his estimate, even if Wang Canghai used this method, the Second Archaeological Team probably wouldn't accept him right away.

But they'd soon catch on. Following Wang Canghai's line of thinking and continuing on while staying vigilant against him the whole time was the best approach.

And in Zhang Lin's view, that was also the best possible outcome. On the contrary, if Wang Canghai had clearly reached the Second Archaeological Team yet kept hiding in the shadows, that would make things far more difficult for Zhang Lin.

So at this point Zhang Lin simply didn't need to make too many plans; in any case, letting everything proceed at the current pace was fine. Meanwhile, Fatty of the First Archaeological Team was still waiting for Wu Tianzhen to give him an explanation.

Over the next ten-plus minutes, Wu Tianzhen laid out the general idea of the matter and emphasized to Fatty that all of this was arranged by Zhang Lin.

Wu Tianzhen was very clear that Fatty Has Already hated Wang Cen to the bone—whether from the perspective of the trouble the Wang family people had caused them before, or from the angle of Yang Lu on the Second Archaeological Team's side, it was all the same. The reason Fatty couldn't truly accept cooperating with Wang Cen.

Was mostly because of Yang Lu on the Second Archaeological Team's side. On this premise, Fatty felt that cooperating with the other party would be a betrayal of his friend. At this moment Wu Tianzhen told him that both Yang Lu and Zhang Lin had already agreed to this matter.

Fatty could naturally set his mind at ease, but right now Fatty really couldn't quite make sense of it—he scratched his head, his eyes full of bewilderment!

Of course, this was also because of the poisoning just now; if he went through everything he'd experienced from start to finish, he should be able to grasp The Weight Within It.

But for now Fatty didn't keep dwelling on it either.

He had one good point: as long as it was something arranged by Zhang Lin, he wouldn't question it. Even if he let off some steam on the surface, deep down he always held firm to one thought—following what Zhang Lin said and pressing forward, there would be no problem at all.

Wu Tianzhen naturally also saw that Fatty had this kind of thinking, so he would bring up Zhang Lin to directly resolve all the issues—after all, Wang Cen still had to continue traveling with the First Archaeological Team for now.

No matter when Mr. Zhang told him to use his life to block an arrow, as long as it wasn't right now, the First Archaeological Team couldn't develop internal problems because of Wang Cen's temporary integration.

If things weren't explained clearly to Fatty, then he would obviously pick fights with the other party again and again—and that was not the outcome Wu Tianzhen wanted to see.

Since the other party was no longer dwelling on the matter, Wu Tianzhen hurriedly lifted the other's arm to check the wound from earlier, then asked: "How do you feel?"
