"Vice Chairman Lin, all the disciples have arrived. Please go and address them." A trusted aide of Lin Lingsu stepped in, bowing respectfully.
"Lin, it's time," Xu Suwen said as he noticed Lin Lingsu lost in thought before the Ancestor's tablet, unresponsive to the disciples around her. He gently nudged her and added, "What are you thinking about? Everyone is waiting for you."
"Oh," Lin Lingsu seemed to awaken from a dream. "I understand. Uncle Xu, do you think we were too successful this time? Is he really dead?"
Xu Suwen nodded. "Yes, we barely made it through, but we succeeded, didn't we? Regardless of the cost, it was worth it."
Lin Lingsu replied coldly, "I have never gotten along with Li Xin. Ning Suwen wanted us to be adversaries, to fight against each other. After all these years of open and covert battles with him, he never expected to die at the hands of me and Li Xin."
Xu Suwen sighed. "Even the wisest can make mistakes. Ning Suwen was too careless and overconfident, which led to his downfall. He must be dying with regret."
Lin Lingsu snorted. "Let him regret. I haven't turned him into ashes yet; that's already showing him mercy. Uncle Xu, find a few good writers to draft a list of his ten greatest crimes. It's time for us to retaliate and settle the score."
Xu Suwen frowned. "Ning the Old Ghost has been the leader for many years, with deep-rooted influence in Dragon Tiger Mountain. Many elders are his confidants. If we act rashly, it might provoke dissent."
"I don't care about their dissent," Lin Lingsu declared. "I will use this opportunity to solidify our position. I want to see how many loyal followers Ning Suwen has left so that we can eliminate them all at once."
Xu Suwen cautioned, "Controlling public opinion is more important than controlling rivers. If we impose strict measures, dissenters will only increase. And about Li Xin..."
"My dealings with him will continue," Lin Lingsu interrupted. "Li Xin is as cunning as a fox. In these three years while I was away from the mountain, he must have built up his own power. We can't act against him lightly now. As for those old-timers... you saw how they behaved just now. I only have eight words for them: Those who follow me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish. What I need now is time. Once I thoroughly understand the Old Ghost's Five Elements Divine Escape Technique, then everything beneath the heavens will be ours."
Xu Suwen looked at Lin Lingsu's fierce expression and remarked, "Lin, you've changed a lot over these years."
"Things have changed, heh heh," Lin Lingsu chuckled to herself. "In this world, one is often at the mercy of circumstances. That Old Ghost killed my father and forced me to kill... kill... him. If I don't act ruthlessly, it would probably be you and me lying on the ground right now."
"The reason you hate him so much is largely because of him, isn't it? Did he take your heart with him when he died? Now, apart from ambition, how are you different from a Walking Corpse? Lin, it's time to stop. We've already obtained everything we wanted; it's time to pull back."
"Pull back?" Lin Lingsu suddenly laughed loudly. "What about the vengeance of the Lin family? What about the enemies my family has pursued for generations? Shouldn't he pay something for what he's done?"
Xu Suwen sighed inwardly. Ever since Wei Ning's death, Lin Lingsu seemed to have become a different person—someone he no longer recognized. She was ruthless, cunning, and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. If their interests ever conflicted, what would she do to him?
As Xu Suwen thought about this, he suddenly felt a chill breeze pass over the back of his neck.
Ah, autumn has arrived.
The deep sound of a bell echoed through Dragon Tiger Mountain once again. It had been a long time since such ancient bell sounds had been heard here, yet today it rang twice in succession.
In front of Xianshui Rock, all the disciples stood quietly. Although there were thousands of them, not a single person dared to move or whisper; their faces were filled with anxiety and uncertainty about the future.
The news of Lin Lingsu killing Ning Suwen had clearly not spread yet, so these people were still unaware of what had happened.
Suddenly, the crowd parted to make way for Lin Lingsu, who approached the altar surrounded by numerous elders.
The crowd erupted into whispers as if a pot had exploded; everyone couldn't help but start speculating. The news that Lin Lingsu had been captured by Ning Suwen was already well-known throughout the sect—how could such a dramatic reversal occur?
What exactly had happened?
Some disciples immediately began to frown, clearly worried that their pockets would be considerably lighter.
Lin Lingsu stepped onto the altar and glanced at Xu Suwen, then looked over at Li Xin. Li Xin's expression was calm and silent, while Xu Suwen nodded slightly at Lin Lingsu. Only then did Lin Lingsu approach, clearing his throat to draw everyone's attention.
"Ning Suwen has acted against the law and committed heinous crimes. After repeated attempts to persuade him failed, I had to execute him on the spot for the sake of public safety." With that, he shook the bundle in his hand, and Ning Suwen's head rolled out.
At that moment, an elder among the crowd, a man in his fifties with a serious expression, stepped forward. "Here's what happened. I am the Deputy Director of the Jiangxi Public Security Expert Hall. We discovered financial issues at Dragon Tiger Mountain long ago and attempted to communicate with Ning Suwen multiple times. However, he repeatedly refused to cooperate with us. After years of investigation, we found that Ning Suwen was involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, and colluding with foreign reactionary forces in an attempt to overthrow our party's regime. Therefore, with Sister Lin's cooperation, we tried to bring him back for questioning. Instead of complying, he attempted to assault me. We had no choice but to eliminate him on the spot to protect the interests of the majority." He shrugged his shoulders with a look of regret.
"Any crime can be fabricated!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "Lin Lingsu, you must be colluding with the government to frame the sect leader!"
Bang! Just as those words left his mouth, a gunshot rang out from a distance, and the man fell to the ground.
There was a sniper!
