Chapter 877: Ji Xiaolian And An Expedition
Lin Wu had not expected to see the woman here.
He knew about Ji Xiaolian since he had seen Shirong’s memories. The memories he had of his elder sister were rather mostly mundane, but the last he had heard about her, Lin Wu knew that she had opposed Shirong in some ways.
“Wonder if Shirong knows about this or not?” Lin Wu thought to himself.
Wanting to know more, he left the avatar under the system’s control and shifted to his main body.
Back at the Taiji Celestial’s tomb, Lin Wu’s main body opened its eyes after over a month’s cultivation.
“Hmm… let’s see…” Lin Wu opened up the communication window and contacted Shirong.
It took about a minute to get to him, but it finally reached him.
“Senior?” Shirong had not expected Lin Wu to contact him today.
He was in the middle of some work when Lin Wu’s words were heard in his mind.
“I wanted to ask you something.” Lin Wu spoke directly.
“Sure, go ahead.” Shirong replied right away.
“Your elder sister Xiaolian, what happened between you two?” Lin Wu asked.
“Oh her… well, she tried to get me killed and assassinated several of my subordinates a few years ago. After returning to the clan, I got into a conflict with her and won. But according to the rules of the clan,’ couldn’t kill her.
But she still got punished due to going against the clan’s regulations by getting a third party to interfere. Since then, she has been sent to the clan’s prison.” Shirong answered.
Lin Wu had not expected this to have happened in the time that had passed.
‘No wonder he had no opposition for a while. Though this is just one of his siblings, there is still Weiyuan.’ Lin Wu remembered the party that had tried to take over the Frozen Cloud sect.
But this still didn’t explain the fact that Lin Wu had seen her back in Xiaolian city.
“Are you sure that your sister is in the Ji clan’s prison?” Lin Wu questioned.
“Yes. She should still be there.” Shirong said, but then a thought came to his mind. “Wait, senior… did something happen?” he asked.
“Maybe… but perhaps you should check up on your sister in the prison. See if she really is there.” Lin Wu instructed.
“I will.” Shirong replied, having a bad feeling.
“Oh, yeah… use the Emeraldine Heart spear to test her… to see if it really is her.” Lin Wu added.
Shirong’s expression darkened as he felt that perhaps his sister had really fooled their clan.
“Yes, senior.” Shirong said before leaving his residence.
“Interesting… is it really her or is she using some method of remote control?” Lin Wu wondered.
With the information that the system had, Lin Wu knew that there were methods of chancing one’s appearance and even controlling someone else. But he didn’t know if those would work from such a long distance or from a place of incarceration.
“Let’s see what else we can find…” Lin Wu said before returning to the avatar.
~shua~
Back under the upscale restaurant, the Avatar continue to listen to all that was happening above. There were certainly a lot more interesting things that had been discussed.
One of them being the information about a certain expedition that was to happen soon.
“Isn’t this what those guys were going to take part it?” Lin Wu had some information about this already.
He had eaten a couple of people that knew about this so-called expedition already.
“So that’s how it is?” Lin Wu learned a few more details from the mouths of everyone.
Basically, the expedition was for a new tomb that had been discovered in the south. It was discovered by two kingdoms of the south, the Zhan Kingdom and the Peony Plains kingdom.
The Zhan kingdom was a mid sized kingdom while the Peony Plains kingdom was a small kingdom. The tomb that had been discovered was actually under the ruins of a place that had already been explored a long time ago.
Apparently, a few people who were hunting for some spirit herbs in the area, ended up falling through unstable ground and ended up at the tomb.
The tomb was protected by several formation arrays and no one could enter from among them. Thus to get some benefits, they sold this information to an intel collecting organization.
This organization in turn, sold the information to the nearby kingdoms.
Of course, the intel collecting organization was run by one of the powers of the Tieba city and thus there was no way they would not up their hands in it too. From the initial testing and research that was done on the tomb, they learned that it should have belonged to an Immortal Ascension realm expert from a long time ago.
But the danger in entering the tomb was also very high, thus the powers of Tieba city decided to let the two kingdoms deal with it first. Then once they were done dealing with the traps and troubles they would fish in the muddied waters.
It was a good enough plan, since there was no way the two kingdoms would be able to deal with multiple powers of the Tieba city, all of whom were backed with Dao Treading realm cultivators.
Even for the two kingdoms, they only had a couple of Dao Treading realm experts of their own. And they certainly wouldn’t send those out on the expedition. Thus making things easier for the powers of the Tieba city.
Of course, all of this was secret and the explorers of the two kingdoms would be eliminated before they made out of it, making it seem like they perished in the tomb.
After all, no one could be blamed for unknown tombs like this, and the risk was well known.
“Ahh! Perfect.” Lin Wu said upon hearing their entire plan.
“I can make use of this… hehe~” Lin Wu chuckled as a few plots formed in his mind.
