Chapter 182: Behind the Scenes
Who is it?
Ling Yi frowned and thought.
He was in danger at this time, and he was not in a hurry to find a way out of the predicament, but stayed in the firewood room and thought about who would attack the Burning Sun Sect, which seemed to be putting the cart before the horse.
But in fact, this is the most correct thing to do.
Through this firewood room, Ling Yi guessed that he might have been taken by Elder Huang to the base camp of the force behind him.
In this kind of place, you don't have to think about it to know that it must be heavily guarded, otherwise how could Elder Huang be so relieved and bold to leave without sending someone to guard him?
Because Elder Huang knew that with Ling Yi's cultivation, it could be said that it would be difficult to escape from here!
Therefore, it is better to take the risk of escaping first, and first try to deduce the identity of the other party through some clues.
Only when you know who the enemy is, can you find the most correct way to deal with it, so as not to die on the spot.
He is the one who has ruined the other party's big things, and Elder Huang has already exposed his identity in order to arrest him back.
Therefore, Ling Yi knew that no matter how much he cooperated, he knew everything and said everything, and the other party's intention to kill him was extremely resolute.
Blindly seeking satisfaction with grievances will not be exchanged for a small life.
So who is it?
Who is the person who controls all this behind Lin Yan?
"Lingyun Sword Sect?"
The name of a sect popped up in Ling Yi's mind, and then he shook his head, and slashed the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, as if he had crossed out the name from his mind.
"Tengwang Pavilion?"
The name of another force popped up and was crossed out again.
"Golden Gun Gate?"
This time it was faster, and as soon as the name popped up, Ling Yi had already made a mark on the ground.
What he was thinking about was the three strongest sects in Yishan Province, except for the Scorching Sun Sect.
The Lingyun Sword Sect has always been subordinate to the Scorching Sun Sect, and it is the second largest martial arts sect in Yishan Province, followed by the Tengwang Pavilion, and the Golden Gun Gate is ranked last.
Further down, there are some small sects, commonly known as small shrimps, which are not worth mentioning, and some small sects are not even as good as a hall of the Burning Sun Sect, which is not within the scope of Ling Yi's consideration.
But even if it was the three sects he thought of, in fact, no matter which one of them, even the second-ranked Lingyun Sword Sect, it was impossible for him to swallow the Scorching Sun Sect with his own strength.
Unless it's ......
Ling Yi's eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility.
Unless, it is the combination of these three sects, perhaps they can pose a threat to the Burning Sun Sect.
This is where the balance that the Tokatsu dynasty strives to maintain.
Each province can allow one of the strongest sects, but the strength is also limited, at most it is in a position with other martial arts forces in the province.
In other words, other sects cannot shake the status of the strongest sect, but conversely, if the strongest sect wants to annex other sects and thus become dominant, it is impossible to do it.
For example, the Scorching Sun Sect.
If Lu Xinghe had this idea and wanted to annex the entire Wulin Dao of Yishan Province in one fell swoop, then as soon as he made a move, the other sects would inevitably unite to jointly suppress the annexation of the Scorching Sun Sect.
The Scorching Sun Sect is considered to have half of the strength of Yishan Province, and the alliance of other sects is exactly the other half, plus the Dongsheng Dynasty that does not want to see this happen, its total strength adds up, but it is more than that of the Scorching Sun Sect.
Then if Lu Xinghe insists on doing this, in the end, he will be defeated and destroyed, and it will definitely be the Scorching Sun Sect!
The three sects that Ling Yi thought of were almost the sum of the forces of the other half of Yishan Province, and if they were united, they would indeed have the strength to fight with the Scorching Sun Sect.
But the three families combined their own financial and material resources to support Lin Yan to seize the position of the sect leader of the Scorching Sun Sect?
It's impossible to think about.
The entanglement of interests involved in this is intricate and intricate, and it is not a matter that can be operated.
Which one contributes more and which one does less?
Which one gets more of the fruits of victory in the end, and which one gets less?
By ranking?
When you cut the apple? One piece per person is done?
Since you have to deal with the behemoth of the Scorching Sun Sect, no matter how much effort you contribute, as long as you participate in it, the risk is just as great.
If the matter is finally revealed, the anger they will bear from the Scorching Sun Sect will not be treated differently because of the amount of effort they contribute.
So since the risks are the same, why do you tell me to score less?
If it is ranked according to strength, the Lingyun Sword Sect should contribute the most among them, and naturally, the Lingyun Sword Sect should also get the most benefits after the matter is completed.
And what about the other two?
Carved up one of the strongest sects, the Burning Sun Sect, but helped the rise of the other strongest sect, the Lingyun Sword Sect?
For the other two, the overall form has not changed!
Except that after the demise of the Scorching Sun Sect, their rankings rose from four to three, and one from three to two, isn't this still the same?
A fool would do that, right?
Moreover, there is Lin Yan.
Lin Yan is not stupid.
His ambition is to be the suzerain of the Burning Sun Sect, and if he wants to be the suzerain, he naturally takes a fancy to the huge interests of the Scorching Sun Sect.
And if he is jointly funded by the three sects at the same time, after the matter is completed, the Liesun Sect will have to be divided by these three families...... So what is he trying to do?
Even if the three sects agreed to leave him with a mouthful of soup to drink, the Burning Sun Sect would definitely be seriously injured, and it would not be impossible for him to become a ninth-rate sect from then on.
Will Lin Yan do this stupid thing of killing chickens and taking eggs and cutting off his arms?
Nature is impossible.
If that's the case, he will be his second elder steadily, and the interests he occupies in the Burning Sun Sect will be greater than after being divided by the three families, so why make such a fuss?
The matter of the alliance of the three major sects is not right.
Ling Yi lightly tapped the wooden stick one by one, falling into thought.
Lin Yan naturally wanted to sit firmly in the position of the sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect and enjoy the supreme glory and huge benefits brought to him by this strongest sect, and it was impossible for him to agree to share it equally with others.
Therefore, if this secret force wants to buy Lin Yan to succeed together, he will definitely promise to hand over the Scorching Sun Sect to Lin Yan to take care of it completely, at least on the bright side.
As for secretly, Lin Yan, the sect master of the Scorching Sun Sect, has to be dispatched by the secret forces, which is equivalent to being a emperor behind his back, controlling Lin Yan, the sect master.
This is the cooperation that Lin Yan can accept, and in addition, Ling Yi can't think of the second possibility.
Then it seems to ......
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the three words Emperor Taishang suddenly thought of the true face of the force behind Lin Yan!
"I see!"
With a snap, the wooden stick in his hand was broken into two pieces, and the contemplative look on Ling Yi's face disappeared, replaced by a faint sneer.
"Looks ...... I'm not going to die!"
After figuring it out, a series of subsequent moments slowly converged into a prototype in Ling Yi's mind, and then he fell into a deeper contemplation, wanting to polish this prototype into a feasible plan.
