C2385 Make Some Preparations
"Should be."
Lee Yifann nodded, "To some extent, this token is similar to the Shangfang Sword. Seeing the token is like seeing the person. I think this is the way Great God Kazama can control the other forces of Nihon."
"You're talking about this Heavenly Ghost Ancestor? It's said that he has lived for hundreds of years. He has lived for thousands of years. Let's not talk about how he has lived for so long. But generally speaking, those sects, as well as the major powers and families... How could they be willing to be under his control? Could it be just because he was strong? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Mo Lingyan couldn't understand this point. Logically speaking, those big families themselves weren't weak either. Even if Heavenly Ghost Ancestor's strength exceeded theirs, it would only be a momentary respect.
After all, the tides had changed. Heavenly Ghost Ancestor was very strong at that time, but it didn't mean that he had always been strong. There were also those big families who could nurture their own experts. It might not be impossible for them to surpass Heavenly Ghost Ancestor.
Once they surpassed Heavenly Ghost Ancestor, would they still need to be so respectful to Heavenly Ghost Ancestor?
Obviously not.
But even so, why would the people of Divine Society of Five Elements need to be so fearful and respectful towards Heavenly Ghost Ancestor?
Even if the rumor was that Heavenly Ghost Ancestor was the founder of Divine Society of Five Elements, it was only a rumor. There were many factions within Divine Society of Five Elements, and there were also many conflicts between them. Most of them probably didn't have a good impression of Heavenly Ghost Ancestor. Not to mention that Heavenly Ghost Ancestor had disappeared for so many years. Apart from some very ancient seniors, the Divine Society of Five Elements also cared about Heavenly Ghost Ancestor. It was impossible for the rest of them to pay much attention to him.
"Actually, I already have an answer to this. " Lee Yifann's lips curved up, "The reason why that old ghost can control so many big families and sects is not because of how strong he is. It's because he's in control of a pill that can prolong his life."
"What? A pill that can extend one's lifespan?"
Mo Lingyan was shocked and her face revealed an expression of disbelief, "Didn't you say that most of the pill formulas that can extend one's life have already been lost? Moreover, even if it can extend one's life, the side effects are also very strong."
"Yes, but in the face of longevity, this side effect is nothing." Lee Yifann smiled. "Think about it. You are an ordinary person with money and power. Are you willing to die?"
"No." Mo Lingyan shook her head. "I definitely want to live for a few more years. I can even live forever."
Although she did not know how important power was to a person's desire, she could tell from the explosive sales of the Water of Spiritual Spring.
What was the effect of the Water of Spiritual Spring?
Remove diseases, beautify one's appearance, and prolong one's life!
The first two effects might only cause a portion of people to go crazy, but the final effect was enough to make everyone go crazy for it.
Longevity had always been the pursuit of humans.
Especially for those rich people, who wanted to die, and then have all of their wealth fall into someone else's hands?
Even if the person who inherited their family property was their son and daughter, and the person closest to them, they still had a huge grudge in their hearts.
"That's right. Mo Tianqing, that old bastard, that's right. Initially, according to his cultivation base, he didn't live until now, and he also used longevity panaceas. He, Heavenly Ghost Ancestor, and Great God Kazama were so close to each other. Therefore, he could naturally tell that Heavenly Ghost Ancestor had secretly used the Longevity Extending Spirit Pill. Controlling those families." The corner of Lee Yifann's mouth curled up as he coldly harrumphed.
Mo Lingyan suddenly realized, "So that's the case. Doesn't that mean that this Heavenly Ghost Ancestor is Wire-Puller?"
"That should be the case. It is very likely that he knows the secret of the seal on your body. A trace of killing intent flashed across Lee Yifann's eyes. The matter had now become clear. Heavenly Ghost Ancestor was the mastermind behind all of this.
"Then, we will go to the banquet tonight. Won't we just walk right into the trap?" Mo Lingyan's expression changed.
Lee Yifann shook his head lightly. "It's not that serious. With me around, he will not get away with it. Furthermore, I have already guessed his plot. He probably thinks that we don't know anything."
As the saying goes, one step ahead of the enemy, and that's the brilliant part.
If the enemy's every move is grasped by him first, then he will be able to win first, giving the enemy no chance to turn the tables.
Mo Lingyan heaved a sigh of relief. She was still very confident in Lee Yifann's ability.
"Then what should we do now? Should we tell Qingluan and the others the truth?"
"No need."1
Lee Yifann waved his hand. "If we let them know, it will be easy for them to expose themselves. The best choice is to wait and see. You let them go first. I will prepare the countermeasures in advance."
Since he knew who the mastermind was, he had to be on guard. He had to consider all kinds of situations in order to avoid being flustered and at a loss of what to do.
"Okay!"
After that, Mo Lingyan went out of the house and asked everyone to attend the banquet first. They would wait for a while before going over.
...
The villa area was especially lively today. It was an unprecedentedly grand place. Usually, it was a quiet place, but now there were carriages everywhere.
Looking around, there were almost no cars with a price of less than a million. They were all famous luxury cars.
Most of the people who came in and out of this place also had extraordinary statuses.
These people all had red faces, as if being able to come here was a great honor.
By the time Mo Kaihee and the others rushed over, quite a number of people had already passed the security check at the entrance and squeezed in like a swarm of bees.
"Tsk, this is simply a hundred-year birthday. No, even a hundred-year birthday is not so exaggerated." Zhao Xue had a surprised expression. This unprecedented scene was simply beyond her imagination.
Mo Kaice's gaze became slightly serious as he swept the scene in front of him. "I knew that there would be many people coming, but I didn't expect there to be so many people. This is truly incredible."
He had still underestimated Mo Tianqing's influence. Among the people who came today, there were not only the big shots from Huaxia, but also many people from overseas.
"This situation is even more exaggerated than the scene when Uncle Cang came out of the mountain last time." Mo Caixian felt that it was unbelievable.
After that, the eight of them went around the security checkpoint of the villa area and planned to enter directly through the private channel.
There was no need to line up here, nor was there a security check. They could enter very quickly.
"Stop right there!"
However, just as they reached the entrance, they were blocked by a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.
This person seemed to have been arranged to receive guests here. However, his attitude was not very good. He glanced at the crowd with a strange gaze. "Who asked you to go this way? If you want to go, go through the entrance of the main entrance."
Hearing this, Mo Kaice's expression froze and he replied awkwardly, "That's not necessary, right? We are Old Master's relatives..."
Originally, this private passageway was meant for the Mo family.
Besides, there were also many big shots who left this passageway. After all, their identities were different, and everyone wanted to be treated with respect.
