Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1553 - 963: Luring the Snake from Its Hole, Corpse Ghost Skill

Wen Yu’s face was dark and uncertain. After thinking for a long time, she looked up and asked, "So what should we do next?"

"Find out the person behind the scenes!"

"Even if we can find them, what can we do? Can we really confront them?" Wen Yu felt a bit uncomfortable.

Being able to manipulate the entire White Cloud Immortal City and the Demon Clan, and even involve the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, the forces behind the scenes must be extremely terrifying.

Given the strength of the Wen family and the Luo family, they are definitely no match for the opponent.

Luo Cheng didn’t have such worries. He said calmly, "Their target is not the White Cloud Immortal City!"

"Not the White Cloud Immortal City?"

"Yes, they are not trying to occupy or seize the White Cloud Immortal City, they just want to throw the city into chaos!"

Luo Cheng elaborated on his speculation: "From start to finish, the opponent has not shown themselves. If their goal was the White Cloud Immortal City, then after the Demon Clan attacked the city, they should have appeared, using their formidable power to deter the forces within the city."

"If that were the case, with the absence of White Cloud True Monarch, we would definitely choose to compromise. The Ten Thousand Treasures Store would definitely not meddle in this matter. If they had enough power, they could have controlled the White Cloud Immortal City in a short time!"

"But they didn’t. They gave up the best opportunity to control White Cloud Immortal City!"

"This indicates their target is something else!"

After Luo Cheng finished speaking, everyone from the Luo family was left in shock.

They genuinely didn’t anticipate that there would be so many intrigues behind the changes in the situation. As the saying goes, an outsider sees it more clearly. Since the Demon Clan’s attack on the city, their focus has been on the internal conflicts within the Immortal City, never considering whether a powerful force was manipulating the changes behind the scenes.

In fact, this was also because their minds fell into a pattern. White Cloud Immortal City had not experienced upheaval for a long time. Even if there were disturbances before, they were limited to power struggles within the city.

Therefore, this time they attributed the cause of the conflict to internal power struggles within the city from the outset, without thinking about external causes.

Luo Cheng, being experienced, had a more comprehensive view and saw things more clearly.

Wen Yu pondered for a moment, "Brother Luo, which force do you think is the mastermind?"

"I don’t know!" Luo Cheng shook his head. "The mastermind comes from outside the Immortal City, and there are certainly people inside the city cooperating with them. They act very mysteriously; while there seem to be flaws everywhere, you can’t catch their loopholes."

Wen Yu’s expression condensed, "But there aren’t many who dare to plot against White Cloud Dao Monarch!"

"There aren’t many, but there are some. Perhaps it’s Demon Clan forces, or maybe other Human Clan forces, or possibly forces we are unfamiliar with!" Luo Cheng said.

In the Wanhua Western Region, the number of individuals and forces daring to plot against a Golden Core True Monarch is few but not nonexistent.

But outside the Wanhua Western Region, there are also the Demon Clans within the Wanhua Mountain Range.

There are numerous powerful Demon Clan forces within the Wanhua Mountain Range, as well as some hidden Human Clan forces.

These forces might be plotting against White Cloud True Monarch and White Cloud Immortal City.

Moreover, neither the Wanhua Mountain Range nor the Wanhua Western Region is isolated from the outside world. If other forces from different regions come to ambush White Cloud True Monarch, it’s not impossible.

"Then what should we do? We can’t just sit here and wait to die!" Wen Yu asked.

"Attract the snake out of its hole, not seeking to eliminate them, but to expose them openly." Luo Cheng said resolutely.

If the enemy acts in the dark while we are visible, we can only be at their mercy. Only by exposing them openly can we have the opportunity to resist.

Luo Cheng understood this well. This time he invited Wen Yu over, hoping to join forces with the Wen family for once to lure the snake out of its hole.

Wen Yu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but it’s best to bring the Shen family in as well!"

"Yes, you contact Shen Ming, and I’ll devise the plan to attract the snake out of its hole!" Luo Cheng said confidently.

Later, the two discussed some details, and only then did Wen Yu leave.

However, after contacting the Shen family, Wen Yu brought Shen Ming to meet with Luo Cheng.

There are many misunderstandings among their three families now, and unless these misunderstandings are resolved, building mutual trust will be difficult.

So a frank exchange could not be avoided.

...

A few days later.

A ten-person squad from the Luo family secretly left White Cloud Immortal City.

Though they left the city secretly, they would still be noticed.

Leaving the city requires passing through the city gates, and naturally through the detection arrays there, which inevitably alerts the Array Masters responsible for the array.

As this squad left the Immortal City, an Array Master responsible for maintaining the octagonal watchtower on the city wall quietly sent out a Communication Talisman.

The Communication Talisman transformed into a dim stream of light and fell into a courtyard within the city.

"The Luo family dares to leave the city! Hehehe~~~ How interesting!"

Inside the courtyard, in a dimly lit room, a figure shrouded in black mist observed the contents of the Communication Talisman with blood-red eyes.

"Since you seek death, let me send you along the way!"

Saying this, he took out an Array Plate the size of a washbasin, recorded some stuff with a Jade Scroll, and then tossed it into the Array Plate.

The Array Plate emitted a hazy light, and the next moment the Jade Scroll disappeared.

If Yang Jizhen were here, he would surely recognize this as a Teleportation Array.

Even though it’s just the simplest micro Teleportation Array, it still has some of the functions of a Teleportation Array.
