Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Bai Ling’s Visit
Seeing Lin Yun’s brow tightly furrowed, Patriarch He, who hadn’t had a chance to speak, offered some words of comfort. "Young Master Lin, there’s no need to overthink this. Nothing is confirmed about Song Tianyang yet—it’s just a suspicion. Perhaps we’re worrying for nothing."Hearing this, Lin Yun didn’t argue. If things were truly as Patriarch He said, that would be the best possible outcome.
Looking at Patriarch He, Lin Yun showed a faint smile. "I must thank the He Family for its full support during this time. Please rest assured, Patriarch He. I will certainly fulfill my promises."
"You’re too kind, Young Master Lin," Patriarch He immediately replied upon hearing Lin Yun’s words. "Since my He Family has already chosen to stand with you, we will naturally do everything in our power to serve you. Please have no doubt about that, Young Master Lin."
After exchanging some pleasantries with Patriarch He, Lin Yun, who had been preoccupied with the mysterious organization, finally had a thought. ’The information Li Tian found... it’s probably not something the He Family could have obtained, right? So where did Li Tian get all this information?’
He looked at Li Tian with some surprise. Before Lin Yun could even ask, Li Tian seemed to have guessed his doubts. Without avoiding the topic in front of Patriarch He, he smiled and spoke.
"Young Master Lin, although my Li Family was wiped out long ago, we were once a powerful force. While we couldn’t compare to the Six Great Forces, we had numerous members. When the Li Family was destroyed, these people scattered and fled to all corners of the Eastern Domain."
"Then, over the past century, my father secretly contacted them, and these people, scattered across the Eastern Domain, gradually formed a vast intelligence network," Li Tian explained.
Hearing Li Tian’s explanation, Lin Yun’s doubts were dispelled. ’Indeed, how could the father who single-handedly raised someone like Li Tian be a simple man?’
When the Li Family was annihilated back then, many people did indeed escape. Although the Five Great Forces hunted down and killed a great number of them, quite a few managed to go into hiding.
These survivors changed their names and identities, hiding in every corner of the Eastern Domain—some even within the Six Great Forces themselves. Once an intelligence network like this is established, its influence is absolutely immense.
He hadn’t expected Li Tian to have such a massive intelligence network behind him. This was yet another one of Li Tian’s irreplaceable assets.
After chatting a bit more, Li Tian brought up matters in Wind City. It had to be said that his information was truly up-to-date; one could say that the Bai Family’s every move was within his grasp.
Bai Zhicheng had returned to the Flawless Palace, but it was Bai Ling of the Bai Family who had surprised Li Tian. It seemed she had already guessed that the He Family had submitted to Lin Yun. Recently, Bai Ling had been making frequent overtures to the He Family, giving the impression that she wanted to bury the hatchet.
