Chapter 921: Chapter 918: The Great Conspiracy

"Is this conspiracy targeting the Yun Family?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"No, since it’s called a shocking conspiracy, how could it only target the Yun Family? At first, we didn’t know, and after it happened, everything turned into chaos." Wang Wanxi shook her head.

"After Yun Tian went missing, my father, Yun Tian’s grandfather, was very angry, thinking that the Yun Family didn’t protect his grandson well. He personally made a scene at the Yun Family and almost crippled Haoyu. If it weren’t for my strenuous obstruction, Haoyu might have ended up like the old man, spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair." Wang Wanxi spoke with a sense of helplessness.

Lin Tian had a different feeling. Wang Wanxi’s father, what kind of person was he? He dared to cause a scene at the Yun Family and nearly crippled Yun Haoyu. You must know, Yun Haoyu was the Family Head of the Yun Family, even if not at the time, he was the heir to the headship.

A dignified head of the foremost family, and he could be crippled just like that?

"I know father was only momentarily angry, but although I managed to persuade him, he still couldn’t swallow the bitterness, so he began investigating Yun Tian’s disappearance after returning home."

"Based on the characteristic that the attackers were fearless of swords and guns, father followed the clues, investigated all the way abroad, and found out that the organization planning this operation came from overseas."

An overseas organization? Lin Tian’s heart skipped, and he blurted out, "Japan?"

Wang Wanxi’s gaze suddenly turned to Lin Tian, frowning and questioned, "How do you know?"

Lin Tian didn’t answer her and continued to speculate, "Sun Shadow Association?"

"You... Xiao Tian, how could you...?" Wang Wanxi was so shaken that she couldn’t finish her sentences, staring intensely at Lin Tian, as if to see through the secrets in Lin Tian’s mind.

"Phew..." Lin Tian took a breath and said deeply, "Did I guess it right after all?"

"Xiao Tian, what is going on here? Did the old man tell you? But the old man was unaware of the Sun Shadow Association." Wang Wanxi asked in shock.

"Aunt Wang, it’s a long story. I learned about the Sun Shadow Association because of the Xiao Family, as the Association wants something from the Xiao Family and has been plotting against it. I could link the two events because of those attackers fearless of swords and guns."

"Although I don’t know if they are the same type of people, I indeed encountered people who were fearless of swords and guns. They were transformed by Gu techniques, making their bodies very formidable, and only obeying their master’s orders." Lin Tian explained.

"I see, according to the characteristics you mentioned, they should be the same type of people. They are fearless of life and death, with very strong combat capabilities, only attacking, without any defense. At that time, I couldn’t hold on for long and was severely injured and passed out." Wang Wanxi said with some lingering fear.

"Your father discovered that this matter was related to the Sun Shadow Association, then what happened?" Lin Tian asked.

Wang Wanxi recalled and continued, "After finding out who planned it, we quickly uncovered their purpose. The organization devising this conspiracy harbors a very big ambition, targeting the major families of Huaxia, including the Yun Family, the Li Family, the Ou family, and several other leading families."

"Their goal is to abduct the heirs of the major families, cultivate them from a young age, and once they’ve grown up, send them back to recognize their heritage through a series of means, allowing these children to retake the heir position. And by controlling these heirs, they control the major families."

"These families collectively can influence the economic lifeline of Huaxia. If the Sun Shadow Association controlled these families, it indirectly controls the economic lifeline of Huaxia. The economic lifeline is the foundation of a nation; this is a venomous plan of undermining from the roots." Wang Wanxi spoke gloomily, feeling chills at the end.

Lin Tian squinted his eyes, his heart also deeply shaken; this truly is a shocking conspiracy, it’s a scheming plot to steal a nation!

"However..., implementing such a plan is very difficult, the major families aren’t fools; it’s not easy to control a major family. Even if they managed to control the heir, and the heir successfully recognized their heritage and gained inheritance rights, they might not be able to control a family."

"Because, in a major family, aside from the heir, there are many older generations, who hold significant influence too. Even going further, if the old folks have all passed away, there are still the parental generation. The Sun Shadow Association must control every individual to manipulate a major family, which is as hard as climbing to the sky."

"Moreover, if these controlled heirs act against the family, they might be removed from the position of the Family Head. So, even though the Sun Shadow Association’s plan seems grand and chilling, upon careful thought, the likelihood of success is very low." Lin Tian thought more clearly as he analyzed the reasons for Wang Wanxi.

Wang Wanxi nodded continuously and said, "Your analysis makes one enlightened. However, you missed one point. Even if their plan doesn’t fully succeed, as long as the heir collaborates with the Sun Shadow Association in secret, it still negatively affects the family, and becomes a time bomb, possibly delivering a fatal blow at a crucial moment."

"Hmm, your concern is not unwarranted. Oh, wait, did the Sun Shadow Association’s plan eventually come into effect or not?" Lin Tian reacted and asked in confusion.

"If it had been implemented, would I be discussing it with you now? Back then, upon finding out the Sun Shadow Association’s plan, and coupled with his grandson’s disappearance, father was extremely furious. He decided to avenge his grandson and take revenge on the Sun Shadow Association." Wang Wanxi’s eyes sparkled as she spoke, clearly she was in full agreement.

"Xiao Tian’s grandfather indeed had a fiery temper, though I would make the same choice if it were me," Lin Tian said.

"Father allied with several ancient martial artists from the Ancient Martial World, secretly infiltrated Japan, identified several bases of the Sun Shadow Association, and destroyed any they found. Upon destroying the fourth, they finally encountered the top experts of the Sun Shadow Association. Father, relying on the Lifeless Sword, held off two top experts, and the other ancient martial artists systematically eliminated the people at the bases, with father eventually slaying the two experts."

"The fault lay with Japan initially, and no other Japanese forces intervened in father’s team’s actions of elimination. After this battle, the Sun Shadow Association hid its tracks, leaving father with no choice but to return."

"Later, we received reports that the attackers couldn’t successfully leave the country. They encountered our Huaxia demon exorcists, leading to a fierce battle. Amidst the chaos, Yun Tian went missing and hasn’t been seen ever since." Wang Wanxi narrated softly, finally sighing lightly.

It turns out Yun Tian wasn’t abducted abroad, no wonder the Yun Family was searching tirelessly. Lin Tian pondered, though he held another question. The Sun Shadow Association’s combat strength shouldn’t be weak, especially Xu Feibai. What was his relationship with the Sun Shadow Association, and why did the Association vanish voluntarily in the end?
