Last time Lin Yun came, the patriarch already felt that Lin Yun was very formidable.
However, Lin Yun managing to seize the Peak Competition championship still greatly exceeded his expectations.
“Father, Lin Yun’s ability to win the Peak Competition championship is the best proof of his strength. Moreover, since he has obtained the opportunity in Chaos Valley, he has a considerable chance of stepping into the Supreme realm.” The Sixth Prince said.
“Hm.” The patriarch nodded.
“By the way, Father, according to my intelligence, the Heavenly Fire Divine Hall, the Underworld Palace, and the Blood Moon Alliance are planning to join forces. They intend to lie in wait for Lin Yun in Chaos City and kill him.” The Sixth Prince said.
“What?” Zi Tong was startled upon hearing this.
“Then… what should we do?” Zi Tong asked anxiously.
The patriarch was also astonished. “Sixth, did you not previously report that Lin Yun wanted protection through the Dao Alliance?”
“Father, according to reliable sources, the Dao Alliance has no intention of protecting Lin Yun. It is estimated that negotiations broke down.” The Sixth Prince said.
The patriarch stroked his beard lightly and said, “Given how much importance the Dao Alliance places on the Peak Competition champion, Lin Yun took the championship from their Void Clan. The Dao Alliance would hardly be pleased. I estimate that Lin Yun is also unwilling to join the Dao Alliance. As long as he joined, the Dao Alliance would certainly publicly announce their protection of him.”
The patriarch quickly guessed the reason behind it.
The patriarch continued, “Now he is at odds with both the Dao Alliance and the six major forces. By not choosing a side, he will naturally find the path to becoming a powerhouse very difficult.”
“Father, a person like him is exactly what we need. The Peak Competition championship proves his strength. He is at odds with both the Dao Alliance and the six major forces. In addition, he saved Zi Tong, showing that he does not harbour hostility towards the elf race and that his character is not bad. He is the hope for our elf race to obtain peace.” The Sixth Prince said.
The Sixth Prince continued, “Father, find a way to save him. If our elf race can grant him another life-saving favour, it will further draw our elf race closer to him.”
The patriarch fell into deep thought.
The patriarch was an extremely wise existence. After comprehensively considering and analysing these matters, he soon made up his mind.
“I am getting old after all. I am weary of killing, and I do not wish to see large numbers of our clansmen sacrifice themselves in war again. I truly desire peace more.” The patriarch spoke earnestly.
In his youth, the patriarch had also been decisive in killing, but the older one gets and the more one experiences, the more one’s mindset changes.
This time, Lin Yun’s performance in the Peak Competition, along with him obtaining the chaos opportunity, made the patriarch feel even more that Lin Yun was the key figure the elf race sought for peace. He was someone upon whom the elf race could pin high hopes.
Therefore, at this moment, the patriarch finally made his decision.
The hope for the path of peace would be placed on Lin Yun.
He then turned to look at Zi Tong. “Zi Tong, do you have any favourable feelings towards this Lin Yun?”
“Grandfather, how… how can you ask such a thing?” Zi Tong’s face flushed red as she lowered her head shyly.
“Haha, Grandfather understands. You are so concerned about his safety. You could not possibly have no favourable feelings towards him in your heart. Then Grandfather shall play matchmaker and recruit him as a son-in-law for our elf race. How about it?” The patriarch said with a smiling squint.
As long as Lin Yun became a son-in-law of the elf race, he would be thoroughly bound to the elf race through marriage, and both sides could be completely tied to the same camp.
In the patriarch’s view, this was the most reliable method.
As soon as these words were spoken, both Zi Tong and the Sixth Prince were greatly shocked.
“Grandfather, this… is this not a bit too hasty?” Zi Tong said with a red face.
Zi Tong had never imagined that Grandfather would think of a marriage alliance.
“Only if he becomes a son-in-law of our elf race can he legitimately obtain some resources from our elf race. Our elf race can also legitimately provide him with a certain degree of cultivation. Moreover, since you have favourable feelings towards him, Grandfather naturally wants to obtain your agreement first.” The patriarch said smilingly.
“Father, perhaps we should first rescue Lin Yun, then discuss this matter with him in person.” The Sixth Prince said.
“That works too. Since we already plan to recruit him as a son-in-law, our elf race shall arrange to take action and save him. Sixth, you personally mobilise the troops. I will also assign several reliable powerhouses to you. You shall personally lead the team to the Ancestral Heart Realm and rescue Lin Yun.” The patriarch instructed.
“Yes. Your child will certainly accomplish this matter.” The Sixth Prince immediately accepted the order.
“Remember, travelling to the Ancestral Heart Realm must be done secretly. Enter the Ancestral Heart Realm quietly. Once you rescue him, return immediately. Do not linger in battle.” The patriarch cautioned.
