Lin Wu had not expected to unearth such a secret today. While he knew that Weiyuan might be from so strong power, it was very unexpected for him to be related to soone he knew.
"The Ji clan seems to always co around in so form or the other. First Shirong, then his sister, and now his brother Ji Yuan." Lin Wu muttered.
He continued going through the information and tried to learn more. The next thing he went for was the reason behind this mission.
Lin Wu found out that a few powers knew that there was sothing hidden in the Di Guan mines for a long ti. But this was rely a speculation, and no one wanted to be the first to show interest as it would incite others to act as well.
If they did that and failed to get anything, they would lose face and be ridiculed. On the other hand, if they succeeded, there would be many powers coming like hungry sharks to get theirs share even if they put no effect.
Not to ntion the Di Guan mines were already under the territory of an established power. And if they tried to do anything there, the Frozen Cloud sect would not watch silently.
Thus, Weiyuan found a different way to do it. Rather than acting directly, he let the Frozen Cloud sect do it themselves. He first incited so conflict from preexisting matters of the sect and got them to split up.
He then planted the Agitation jades to push the miners and the owner of the mine away. It even made the sect fail in its mission to kill the beast. Weiyuan was fully prepared to send more beasts to the mine if the ones in it were killed.
But surprisingly for him, that situation never arrived. The beast that was in the mine was plenty strong and troubled the Frozen Cloud sect to no end. He had allied himself with a few people from the Broken Cliff Division and negotiated on a profit split of things worked out.
Of course, these people didn't know that there was Earthen Depths Obsidian in the mines along with many other things. They only thought that it was a spirit stone mine.
The beast of the Di Guan mines being able to keep all attempts at recapturing the mine off made Weiyuan interested in it. He had heard of Wang Xiong by now and knew that the man was rather strong too and if he was unable to hunt the beast, he reckoned that the beast was worth his ti.
And thus, he sent his n to capture the beast and claim the mines as well. Once this was done, the people from the Broken Cliff division would take over, and none would be the wiser.
Unfortunately for him, the plan was foiled by Lin Wu, who decided to pay a visit.
"One thing still doesn't make sense though. He says he's not competing for the position of the heir, but is still doing things that point to it. Is he just faking it or is his aim sothing else entirely?" Lin Wu wondered.
His search through the information led him to so other discoveries as well, such as the blanks in the mories of the elders.
"System, what's the cause behind this? It can't be that they all had mory loss about the sa thing, right?" Lin Wu questioned.
The mories that were missing were about the location of the true headquarters of the Weiyuan Chamber. All four elders were missing the sa location, which didn't really make sense to him since how would they find their way back after completing their task.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The system's initial analysis states that the four cultivators had parts of their mories eased by so technique. This was done willingly or the mory removal would not be this clean and there would have been fragnts about it.
The mory of the mory erasing was removed at the sa ti as well.

"Hmm… seems like this Weiyuan or… Ji Yuan is very cautious. The other mbers of his organization don't even know his true identity, only the elders do." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He thought to himself, what needed to be done here.
'Weiyuan will definitely act again if these cultivators go missing. The system blocked all transmission from communication jades, so I'm sure no information was leaked for now. But he will probably send more people to investigate.' Lin Wu analyzed.
He looked at the Weasel beast that continued to eat the other corpses. He had already finished three quarters of them and only had about ten left to eat now.
"Perhaps he can be of use…" Lin Wu said and made up a temporary plan in his mind.
He then contacted Wang Xiong and told him to send over others to occupy the mines. Lin Wu didn't tell him about the Weiyuan Chamber mbers, as he still needed to figure out what to do with them first.
Lin Wu could technically just avoid them and Weiyuan would not be able to do much. After all, Wang Xiong would be claiming the mines officially in his capacity as the chief disciple of the Frozen Cloud sect.
If Weiyuan or others challenged him, the entire Frozen Cloud sect would have to show their stance and oppose Weiyuan.
Thus, if Weiyuan was as smart as Lin Wu was thinking him to be, there was a great chance he wouldn't act out.
'Now to wait and see. Though need to do sothing about Tim…' Lin Wu thought and looked at the weasel.
By now, the beast had finished eating all the corpses and even licked up all the blood that had spilled.
"That's a good cleanup. At least I won't have to think much about leaving the traces." Lin Wu said before calling out to the weasel. "Co here, Tim!"
~Ki~
The Weasel looked back to see Lin Wu waving his tail at him.
"More Food?" He asked, making Lin Wu chuckle again.
