Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1295 - 673 New Request_2

If, by any chance, the Liang Family truly had such luck, and Liang Shaoping successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, the inheritance of the Four Great Powers would then truly meet its end.

At that time, even with his Fake Infant Level strength, Song Xin would stand no chance against Liang Shaoping.

In such circumstances, the only solution would be to nip the Liang Family’s hopes in the bud and prevent Liang Shaoping from entering the Nascent Soul Stage successfully. This would be the safest option for the Four Great Powers.

This was precisely the reason why he had hastily exited seclusion, casting aside the accelerated depletion of his lifespan to rush to the Liang Family Territory.

Since the Four Great Powers had already acted, there was no turning back.

What would follow next was either Liang Shaoping failing to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, with the Liang Family suffering devastating losses and withdrawing from the ranks of Jinfeng Nation’s top-tier powers.

Or the Four Great Powers failing to stop him, resulting in their forces being crippled and exiled to other countries, or even entirely annihilated from Jinfeng Nation’s history.

The ultimate goal was to ensure that such a definitive outcome occurred, and only then would this nationwide conflict in Jinfeng Nation come to an end.

Faced with these possibilities, Song Xin was all the more inclined toward the former outcome.

With this objective in mind, Song Xin resolved that he must stop Liang Shaoping’s breakthrough at this critical juncture.

Understanding this, Song Xin wasted no time.

Thus, in the next moment, Song Xin exchanged a few private transmissions with Hua Zhenxing, firmly grasping the entire course and overall outcome of the battle in his mind.

At that moment, Liang Shaorong, standing across from him, noticed that Song Xin did not take immediate action. He, too, began privately communicating with Lin Tianming through sound transmissions.

First, Liang Shaorong introduced Song Xin’s general background to Lin Tianming through voice transmission.

Lin Tianming had already learned bits and pieces of this information from various records, intelligence, and some rumors.

However, as a native cultivator of Jinfeng Nation, who had long been an adversary of the Yuanchen Sect, Liang Shaorong’s knowledge of Song Xin was far more in-depth than Lin Tianming’s.

Therefore, with Liang Shaorong’s explanations, Lin Tianming gained a clearer understanding of Song Xin’s background.

Moreover, under Liang Shaorong’s recounting, Song Xin’s deeds seemed even more illustrious. The extraordinary events he had experienced were awe-inspiring.

But the more impressive Song Xin appeared, the stronger Lin Tianming’s apprehension grew.

Song Xin’s achievements were indeed dazzling; the opponents he had faced were no ordinary figures, and the victories he had forged were terrifying in their own right.

One could even say that over the past four centuries, Song Xin had risen like a comet, suppressing an entire era within Jinfeng Nation.

Such a powerful figure, even when mentioned by his opponent Liang Shaorong, was described with tones of reverence and fear.

Lin Tianming, hearing these accounts from Liang Shaorong, grew even more wary of Song Xin’s capabilities.

Apart from that, Liang Shaorong had something else to discuss with him through their voice transmission.

As Liang Shaorong explained, with Song Xin entering the battlefield, there was almost no one in the Liang Family Camp who could counter him.

Yet, after Lin Tianming’s performance in the last two rounds of battle, both his strength and the results he achieved earned admiration and even astonishment.

If they had to pick someone from the Liang Family Camp who could face Song Xin, Liang Shaorong admitted he was not up to the task.

The only one who might have a chance against Song Xin was Lin Tianming, who had so far kept a low profile.

For this reason, Liang Shaorong’s private message was a plea for Lin Tianming to hold off Song Xin at any cost.

As for the price the Liang Family was willing to pay, Lin Tianming could name any conditions he wished.

As long as it did not involve the already allocated Secret Realm entry slots, Liang Shaorong was prepared to agree to whatever terms Lin Tianming demanded on behalf of the Liang Family.

Hearing this, Lin Tianming understood that Liang Shaorong’s actions were out of sheer desperation.

The truth was, within the Liang Family Camp at the moment, no one possessed the strength to contend with Song Xin alone.

Even if Liang Shaorong, Liang Shaoguang, and other elite Liang Family members joined forces, they would likely still fall short against Song Xin.

After all, these Liang Family members had just emerged from an intense battle, with many wounded, their True Yuan severely depleted, and their conditions far from optimal.

In comparison, Song Xin, who was naturally stronger than Liang Shaorong by a slight realm, was in peak condition.

Compared to Liang Shaoguang, Song Xin’s superiority spanned two entire sub-realms.

Moreover, Song Xin’s current momentum was at its peak. Once he joined the battle, it would require at least a peak-condition Liang Shaorong along with several Mid Stage Golden Core cultivators teaming up to stand a chance against him.

Even so, when multiple cultivators of varying cultivation stages combined their efforts, the disparity would naturally reduce their efficacy.

Under such cobbled-together strategies, the combat strength they could unleash was drastically limited.

From this perspective, Liang Shaorong’s plea for Lin Tianming’s intervention was a testament not only to his acknowledgment of Lin Tianming’s strength but also to his willingness to gamble on the slimmest of hopes.

After all, the Liang Family had no other options and absolutely no way to retreat at this point.

When faced with a calamity like this, as long as they could survive it, no price would be too high for the Liang Family to bear.

As long as they weathered this crisis, all the losses they had suffered could be reclaimed in the future.

Even in the worst-case scenario where the Liang Family was gravely wounded, their deep foundations ensured they still had a chance to return to prominence.

Liang Shaorong must have arrived at this realization, which was why he granted Lin Tianming the liberty to demand any conditions at this moment.

Upon hearing Liang Shaorong’s request, Lin Tianming hesitated for quite some time.

In his heart, he understood the Liang Family’s plight and desperation.

Out of his own moral code, he was not opposed to helping the Liang Family get through this calamity.

After all, he was inherently a man of justice, and prior to stepping in, he had already made a pact with the Liang Family to assist them in overcoming this disaster.

Thus, he and several other Lin Family members had received some compensation in advance.

However, the agreement did not dictate that they must remain in the Liang Family Camp when the Liang Family’s hopes were completely dashed.

Now, with Song Xin in play, the current situation essentially fulfilled that condition.

According to the original agreement, Lin Tianming and the other Lin Family members could walk away at this point, and Liang Shaorong could not raise any objections.

There was only one caveat: if they left now, the Secret Realm entry slots they were promised would vanish into thin air.

This point gnawed at Lin Tianming, making him reluctant to give them up.

Yet, faced with Song Xin’s overwhelming power, Lin Tianming still found himself wavering.

Because of Song Xin’s immense strength, even though Lin Tianming had confidence in his own abilities, he could not confidently claim he would walk away unscathed from a clash with Song Xin.

What’s more, Lin Tianming had just endured two fierce battles, bearing some injuries, and his True Yuan Mana was only at thirty percent.

In such a state, forcing himself to fight a fully empowered Song Xin would undoubtedly be unwise.

Under these circumstances, even with Liang Shaorong’s offer of additional terms, Lin Tianming dared not hastily commit.

After a long period of internal conflict, Lin Tianming privately consulted with Qin Xi and Lin Tianhu for their opinions.

While they did not make their positions clear, Lin Tianming deliberated deeply for some time and ultimately resolved to give it a try.

Several reasons motivated him to make this choice:

First was the prearranged Secret Realm entry slots with the Liang Family.

If he could fend off Song Xin and ensure the Liang Family’s survival in the coming years, the Lin Family could naturally claim these slots.

Otherwise, the opportunity he valued most would vanish.

Second was Liang Shaorong’s promised conditions and the Lin Family’s ambition to expand beyond their current standing.

Lin Tianming believed that if the Liang Family had indeed permitted him to stipulate any terms within their ability, they would do their utmost to fulfill them.

This prospect presented undeniable allure.

For instance, if he were to request several Nascent Soul Spiritual Items and a substantial hoard of precious cultivation resources, given the Liang Family’s solid foundations, they would most certainly be able to meet his demands.
