Those factions that possessed the relevant ancestral veins would probably hide them even deeper at once, tighten their defenses, and even develop hostility toward the Divine Firmament Dao Sect.
After all, no one wanted someone coveting their lifeblood.
"Master-"
Lin Xuan hesitated. Wasn't this causing too much of a stir?
"No matter."
Li Yunjing seemed to see through his thoughts and waved a hand. "Since I dare offer this bounty, I'm not afraid of anyone coveting what I have, much less opposing me."
"If any faction possesses an ancestral vein and is willing to trade, I can offer an equivalent exchange, or even pay a higher price. I will never seize it by force."
"But if anyone conceals a lead, tries to deceive me with false information, or obstructs me in secret-then they must not blame me for coming to their door personally to 'seek instruction.'"
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed through Li Yunjing's eyes.
His might now shook Tianlan Planet, and he needed to ride that momentum.
Seeking what he needed through an open, honorable bounty conformed to the rules of the righteous path and gave all parties ample face.
But if anyone failed to appreciate his courtesy, he would not mind baring his fangs and letting everyone know that whatever he, Li Yunjing, wanted, no one could hide, and no one could stand in his way!
"Yes! I understand!"
Lin Xuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed in acknowledgment.
His master intended to apply pressure with his influence and entice people with rewards, using both approaches to gather the necessary ancestral veins as quickly as possible.
Though this would offend some factions, his master's current prestige, combined with the power of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect and the Tianlan Alliance, certainly qualified him to do so.
