Chapter: 5678

"Linn Wan'er looked at Lei Chen and said: 'Sir, if Wu Feiyun really lets the three Elders out, I fear that you may be no match for them. To ensure safety, it would be best to leave Jingling for a while and avoid getting entangled in their affairs...'"

"Cloud-like Song also agreed, saying: 'Mr. Lei, Miss Lin is right. If the three Elders were added together, even Wu Feiyun might have difficulty defeating them. You haven't yet opened the Mudra Palace. If you stay in Jingling and the three Elders arrive, it would be very difficult to escape.'"

"Lei Chen thought for a moment and shook his head: 'I'll just leave. How will my grandparents' family get out? They have such big goals, and even if there are internal Clear Dawn Association spies, the Clear Dawn Association wants to take their lives no matter what. No matter how they try to escape, they won't be able to shake off the three Elders' pursuit...'"

"As we reached this point, Lei Chen suddenly asked Cloud-like Song: 'How much do you know about my parents? Do you know why Wu Feiyun wants to kill my grandparents after twenty years?'"

"Cloud-like Song replied honestly: 'Mr. Lei, I only know that your parents got the Long Life Secret before Wu Feiyun did, which is why Wu Feiyun had them hunted down by Long Victory Marshal twenty years ago. As for why he's still trying to kill your grandparents after twenty years, I'm not clear about it.'"

"Lei Chen furrowed his brow and asked her: 'The Long Life Secret, I've heard Xu Changqing mention it a few times. What is this Long Life Secret?'"

"Cloud-like Song shook her head and said: 'I don't know anything about that... The Long Life Secret is just Wu Feiyun's theory, but what it really is, we four don't understand at all.'"

"Lei Chen was a bit disappointed, still unable to figure out the reason why his parents were enemies with Wu Feiyun, and why Wu Feiyun wanted to kill his grandparents after twenty years."

"Lian Wen'er suddenly thought of something and asked: 'What is the current location of the White Lotus Society?'"

"Cloud-like Song said: 'It's located underground on a deserted island near the South Pole, but I'm not clear about the exact coordinates. The British have always been wary of us, so when we leave, we'll take a waterplane or a small submarine to Argentina first, and then return there. However, regardless of whether it's a plane or a submarine, we won't be able to see any external scenery, and we're not allowed to bring modern devices like phones with us when we land.'"

"As she spoke, Cloud-like Song added: 'But I think it should be located near the South Pole, so if you search carefully and eliminate each option one by one, finding it is still possible.'"

"Lei Chen shook his head: 'I don't know how to respond to those three elder officials right now, let alone going after the White Lotus Society's hideout.'"

"Lian Wen'er hastily advised: 'Prince, you should consider my suggestion and leave Jinling quickly. If not, then bring your grandparents along with us and avoid danger together!'"

"I think it's likely that your family members will have no connection to the White Lotus Society, so you can just take Ah-ma and Ah-ya away, strictly controlling information leaks and preventing them from contacting the outside world during this period. Safety should still be ensured...' "

"No way," Lei Chen said decisively: 'Jinling is my foundation, where my family, friends are all located. If I leave, their safety will be unguaranteed. And what if they discover my identity and vent their hatred on my family and friends? I won't be able to forgive myself.'"

"As he spoke, Lei Chen added: 'Furthermore, it's not possible for me to take everyone with me. Originally, I was still hiding in the shadows when I was with Wu Feiyun. If I were to make such a big move, wouldn't that be like throwing a grenade and blowing everything up?'"

Lian Wen'er's face was filled with worry as she said, "Prince, Jinling may be far away, but those three elder officials are deeply trusted by Wu Feiyun. Once they set out, Wu Feiyun will definitely send them to Jinling at the fastest speed possible, no more than 24 hours from now. By then, it will be difficult for us to leave again......"

Lei Chen remained silent for a moment before his expression turned even more resolute and he spoke in a stern tone: "I won't back down! The family members don't have to back down either! Since Wu Feiyun is already keeping an eye on Jinling, I'll give her a show of 'Empty City Strategy'! Let's see if she has the guts to come charging over!"

"What Empty City Strategy?!"

As Lei Chen spoke, Lian Wen'er and Yun Ruogu both wore confused expressions.

They naturally knew the allusion behind "Empty City Strategy", which was from the classic novel "Romance of Three Kingdoms". In it, Zhuge Liang, faced with a 150,000-strong army besieging the city, realized that he couldn't defend the city with just a few thousand soldiers. So, he simply opened the city gates wide and sat on the city walls, playing his zither and waiting for Sima Yi's army to arrive. When Sima Yi's troops arrived at the foot of the city walls, they saw Zhuge Liang smiling and playing his zither with ease, so they inferred that there must be a trap inside the city. Therefore, they retreated.

But Lian Wen'er and Yun Ruogu were all puzzled - how could Lei Chen give Wu Feiyun this show of "Empty City Strategy"? Was it possible for Lei Chen to sit on the city walls like Zhuge Liang and play his zither, waiting for Wu Feiyun's troops to arrive?

Yun Ruogu was the first to caution him: "Mr. Lei, 'Empty City Strategy' is effective because Zhuge Liang let Sima Yi become fearful of a trap. But if you reveal your true identity, regardless of whether Jinling has a trap or not, Wu Feiyun will definitely send those three elder officials to probe into your depths. It's only when you're in the shadows that she'll develop fear for you. Once you step out into the open, it will only push her to fight you to the death......"

Lian Wen'er also couldn't help but caution him: "Yes, Prince, I think what Master Ding said makes sense. At this time, it's not a good idea for you to try to scare off Wu Feiyun. The probability of success is almost zero. I advise you not to take the risk......"

Leaf Chen saw that both people were advising him not to take risks, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. With a face full of deep meaning, he said, "You two don't need to question my intelligence. I haven't become stupid enough to deliberately reveal my whereabouts to Wu Feiyun." JrNovels.com
