At the very least, a house with such deep roots and substantial influence as the Liang Family must never be underestimated.
Consequently, the second facet of this tactical response involves the Lin Family immediately dispatching envoys to alert their allies—the Liang Family and the Yang Clan—as well as the Myriad Cultivators Alliance backed by these three houses, tasking them all with preparing for any eventuality.
Should the Blood Red Alliance actually manifest within the borders of Jinfeng Nation, these four major powers must stand united to repel their aggression.
While achieving this integration will certainly be difficult, at this pivotal moment, every effort must be expended to secure their combined defense.
The third point concerns soliciting support from powers situated outside the borders of Jinfeng Nation.
Specifically, the Tang Family, with whom the Lin Family maintains a long-standing, amicable connection, serves as a prime candidate.
Furthermore, the Lin Family must exert every effort to secure backing from the Yulan Sect, the paramount authority in all of Qingzhou.
The Yulan Sect possesses a formidable reputation and an incredibly ancient lineage, providing them with the necessary resources to stand toe-to-toe with the Blood Red Alliance independently.
In truth, the Yulan Sect has consistently shown the capacity to dominate the Blood Red Alliance.
Critically, the Yulan Sect remains a natural, bitter rival to the Blood Red Alliance, as both forces harboring Nascent Soul experts have been locked in a lethal power struggle for generations.
Given that the Yulan Sect and the Lin Family have long shared a warm relationship and a desire for strategic alignment, the enemies of the Lin Family are effectively viewed as adversaries of the Yulan Sect as well.
Therefore, obtaining the Yulan Sect's intervention is an essential strategic goal to amplify the pressure upon the Blood Red Alliance.
As the only clan in Qingzhou boasting a Nascent Soul expert, the Tang Family has also maintained a distance from the Blood Red Alliance; while not outright hostile, their connection has been marred by constant friction and lack of cooperation.
Under these conditions, the Tang Family cannot be ignored as the Lin Family works to consolidate a front against the Blood Red Alliance.
Thus, the Lin Family must swiftly send representatives to the gates of both the Yulan Sect and the Tang Family to petition for their aid.
Even if only one of these Nascent Soul powers agrees to assist, the burden upon the Lin Family would be drastically reduced.
Every Lin Family member present offered their full support for this initiative.
Lin Shilu, serving as the lead decision-maker, had reached the same conclusion.
Once the consensus was established among the kin, everyone acknowledged the grave importance of these maneuvers to the future of the Lin Family.
With a unanimous mandate, Lin Shilu immediately set the wheels of his strategy in motion.
His plan dictated that he would personally oversee the Qingyun Mountain Clan Land, fortified by the Mountain Protection Array and a dozen Golden Core Stage clansmen, ensuring the family maintained a respectable defensive posture.
Even if Song Chufeng were to personally spearhead a siege against the clan grounds, the residence should endure for a significant duration.
However, those clansmen operating abroad remained in grave peril.
Any encounter with the Blood Red Alliance would prove fatal, even for those with Late Stage Golden Core Cultivation.
Consequently, the envoys destined for the Yulan Sect and the Tang Family required immense strength and unimpeachable status.
They would serve as the public face of the Lin Family and the official bearers of its directives.
Should their cultivation be inadequate, they might fall prey to ambushes by the Blood Red Alliance, bringing disaster upon the clan.
If their stature were deemed insufficient, they might fail to draw the attention of these elite Nascent Soul organizations.
Therefore, the chosen envoys needed the perfect balance of martial prowess and clout.
Only a select few within the Lin Family satisfied these strict requirements.
Following intense deliberation, Lin Shilu determined that Lin Tianyun and Lin Xingrong were the most suitable candidates.
Lin Tianyun’s cultivation is remarkably potent, outclassed only by Lin Tianming within the entire Lin Family.
Even more vital is his incredible movement speed, which surpasses even what Lin Tianming can achieve at the same stage.
Given his high status and strength, he is the ideal agent to represent the clan before the Yulan Sect.
Lin Xingrong, also a practitioner of Late Stage Golden Core Cultivation, easily meets the requirement for physical power.
As the biological father of Lin Tianming, his standing within the family hierarchy is equally robust.
Additionally, as the primary leader of the Luoyun Commerce Alliance, he has spent countless years traveling and cultivating external networks.
Because of this experience, Lin Xingrong boasts the deepest connections with foreign entities among all the Lin Family members.
Notably, he has the most extensive history of engagement with the Tang Family.
With Lin Xingping prepared to step in as his interim replacement within the Luoyun Commerce Alliance, the organization remains in capable hands.
Convinced by this logic, Lin Shilu finalized his preparations.
He immediately began assigning duties to the gathered members.
Every individual was given a specific role, though the tasks assigned to Lin Tianyun and Lin Xingrong remained the most critical.
Lin Xingrong fully understood the gravity of his assignment.
As for Lin Tianyun, Lin Shilu planned to summon him at once to brief him on the situation and emphasize the need for urgent speed.
As the objectives were laid out, the Lin Family members dutifully accepted their respective missions.
In the following days, the Qingyun Mountain Clan Land functioned with the precision of a massive, well-oiled engine.
Lin Xingrong and Lin Tianyun departed the clan grounds one after another, beginning their journeys toward Yulan Country and Tang Country.
Simultaneously, others were dispatched to secure the family's various spirit lands and to deliver urgent warnings to the Liang Family and other allied groups.
…
A few days later, in the council hall of the Qingyun Mountain Clan Land, Lin Shilu sat in his place of honor.
Beneath him, Lin Xingyuan, Lin Xingli, and other high-ranking elders were gathered.
Lin Shilu turned his gaze toward Lin Xingli and inquired, “Xingli, how was your journey back from Wei Kingdom?”
Lin Xingli bowed respectfully and answered, “I thank you for your concern, Uncle Xie, the trip was quite uneventful.”
Satisfied by the report, Lin Shilu nodded, exhaling a breath of relief.
With a faint smile, he continued, “Tell me, what was the reaction of Third Brother and the others when they learned of Tianming’s breakthrough?”
Upon hearing this, even though Lin Xingli was prepared, he could not help but show slight agitation.
Gathering his composure, he relayed the reactions of Lin Shikang and the other elders, as well as the feelings of those clan members who had been informed of the advancement.
According to his report, the news of the breakthrough left Lin Shikang and the senior leadership both shocked and ecstatic.
This reaction was exactly what Lin Shilu had expected.
After all, Lin Tianming’s breakthrough is a monumental event for the Lin Family, representing a sudden and fortunate turning point in their fortunes.
For Lin Shikang, knowing that the family’s greatest talent had ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage significantly lightened the suffocating pressure hanging over the clan; it was a deeply heartening revelation.
Moreover, with the looming threat of the Blood Red Alliance, the hopes of the entire clan were resting upon Lin Tianming.
It is not an exaggeration to state that his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage is the cornerstone of the Lin Family’s long-term survival.
