Chapter 1255 - 1256: Confused
They really never expected that Yang Lianxin's bargaining chip for survival would turn out to be the news about the Human Ancestor's descendants.
Yan Yifei, Yan Rulie, and Wei Ziliang, who were by Lin Qian's side and knew the truth, looked at Yang Lianxin as if they were looking at a fool.
Unfortunately, Yang Lianxin didn't know that the true descendant of the Human Ancestor was right in front of him.
If he had known, he wouldn't possibly use such a poor piece of information to try and save his own life.
"It's a pity, I don't need this piece of information," Yan Yifei said with a mischievous smile on his face as he walked up to Yang Lianxin. "So, you still need to think of something else to say if you want to save your life."
Hearing this, Yang Lianxin was taken aback. He hadn't thought that the news about the Human Ancestor's descendants couldn't tempt the other party.
According to his understanding, the Flame Gold Clan's leader should be eager for news about the Human Ancestor's descendants. How could this be?
Besides not understanding, he felt a bit panicked inside; this was the bargaining chip he believed would save his life, but now it was useless.
Could it be that he had to betray the information of the Netherworld Clan? What a joke! They too had made a heart demon oath, and once spoken, it would mean certain death.
"Could it be that you want to forget the Human Ancestor's kindness?" With things as they were, Yang Lianxin gritted his teeth and asked, unwilling to give up.
For Yang Lianxin's perseverance, Yan Yifei looked at him like he was an idiot and said slowly, "It's a pity, but I just happen to know that the information you want to tell me is actually false."
"Even if it's not false, it's half-true and half-false, vague and useless, right?"
As Yan Yifei spoke, Yang Lianxin was startled, feeling suspicious and uncertain, looking at him and thinking, "What's going on? How did he know?"
As Yan Yifei had guessed, the information he was going to tell really was an elusive blend of truth and lies.
He was just planning to use this ambiguous information to temporarily appease them, save his life, escape, and then find a way to come back and take revenge.
Who would have thought, initially they hadn't believed him, but later they saw through his plans.
At this moment, Lin Qian suddenly stepped forward and spoke up: "Moreover, you should be restricted by a heart demon oath, unable to reveal the Netherworld Clan's situation, right?"
"In a sense, you are of no use anymore."
Lin Qian's sudden speech and his words made Yang Lianxin's heart sink, feeling that something was amiss.
Yet he still pretended to stay composed, showing no panic on the surface and remaining calm: "A junior of the Human Clan, speaking nonsense here, clearly showing no regard for the Flame Gold Clan or the Clan Leader."
"This matter is a trading negotiation with Hao Yan, why are you meddling around with ulterior motives?"
Yang Lianxin's remark was accusatory, making the elders of the Flame Gold Clan look displeased.
Not only them, but the elders from the Four Clans also felt uneasy.
Indeed, Lin Qian's interference seemed well-intentioned, but it didn't appear that way to the Flame Gold Clan.
After all, the eight-eyed Divine Race Yang Lianxin was targeting the Flame Gold Clan, and now it was their issue.
The one who should make the decision should be the Clan Leader of the Flame Gold Clan, not this young Human Clan member.
However, when they looked at their Clan Leader, they found that he was not angry but rather showed an expression of agreement.
On the other side, Wei Ziliang used his Soul Consciousness to communicate: "Young Master, make sure not to reveal your identity too soon, or it will stir up trouble. The Upper Realm has people watching like hawks, so..."
"If those from the Upper Realm dare to act recklessly, I'll make sure they never return," Lin Qian dismissed Wei Ziliang's advice with a wave of his hand.
In the Huaxia Empire, the ever-advancing marketplace, with its lottery items, was Lin Qian's biggest ace up his sleeve.
Once used, any demons and devils would be nothing, unable to rival him.
Even if his identity were exposed, let them come if they dared, for Lin Qian was unafraid.
"Presumptuous!" At this moment, seeing the elders' expressions, Yan Yifei became tense and quickly shouted, "This is Young Master Lin, do not act rashly."
Yan Yifei was in a hurry, fearing that the elders, unaware of the truth, might anger Lin Qian.
If Lin Qian summoned Wei Ziliang to take action, none of the elders, or even their Clan Leader, could withstand it.
Even if he wanted to resist, he wouldn't dare do it.
Seeing Yan Yifei's urgent shout and hearing his words, everyone was shocked and bewildered.
The Flame Gold Clan elders were also startled, glancing at Lin Qian, then at their Clan Leader, wondering if he had lost his mind.
At this moment, Yan Yifei realized what he had said, feeling he spoke too soon, overly anxious.
Then, he hurriedly looked at Lin Qian, wanting to seek his opinion.
Seeing that Lin Qian didn't stop him, with a calm demeanor, he was relieved.
On the ground, Yang Lianxin seemed to have thought of something, looking stunned: "Could it be, you are a descendant of the Lin family?"
Yes, Yang Lianxin then realized, even though he hadn't been told the appearance of the Human Ancestor. But from Yan Yifei's demeanor and his words, he could deduce that Lin Qian was likely the Human Ancestor's Lin family descendant.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized and cursed his own foolishness.
The Human Ancestor's descendant was right in front of him, yet he used that information as a bargaining chip, no wonder they immediately saw through it as false; the truth was right here.
However, Yang Lianxin, with a quick turn of his eyes, reacted and sneered twice: "But, even if you are a descendant of the Lin family, so what? The ancestors of the Flame Gold Clan were once trusted generals by the side of the Human Ancestor, holding extraordinary status."
"The Flame Gold Clan are the descendants of that war general, and you are from the Lin family of the Human Ancestor. Your statuses are similar. But your attitude is too arrogant, are you perhaps treating the Flame Gold Clan as mere servants?"
Again, this was an attempt to sow discord.
The elders of the Flame Gold Clan naturally felt uncomfortable upon hearing this, as no one would like to be regarded as a mere servant.
In Yang Lianxin's view, Lin Qian would surely have to reassure the Flame Gold Clan, yet this would inadvertently lower his own status and not be satisfying.\\p>
A rift between them was most important, as it would increase his chances of surviving significantly.
"Who said I am a descendant of the Human Ancestor?" At this moment, Lin Qian himself suddenly spoke up, looking at Yang Lianxin.
Now, Yang Lianxin was utterly confused, not knowing what to make of it, leaving him completely bewildered.
