Just like the original plan given to Azura Loomis by the system to seize fortune.
By capturing the key individuals within a family who gather great fortune, all of that family’s fortune will naturally gravitate towards you.
Similarly, once the Hearne clan, related to Scarlett Jennings, is completely assimilated by Shu’e, even if Scarlett manages to cultivate the Ten-tailed, she would be indirectly controlled by Shu’e due to the downfall of the clan.
All of these hinges upon Scarlett Jennings successfully cultivating the Ten-tailed.
Only until now did Magnolia Hearne finally understand why Emily Hearne was so sure that once Scarlett cultivated the Ten-tailed, the "evil thought" hidden within the Hearne clan would quickly reveal itself.
If she were Shu’e, she would also choose the moment Scarlett had just cultivated the Ten-tailed.
Because at this time, she can successfully connect with the Heavenly Dao yet is also in the initial weakened stage of the Ten-tailed.
Otherwise, if Scarlett fully integrates the Ten-tailed power, Shu’e’s control would only become more difficult.
After learning the truth, Scarlett Jennings: ...
She couldn’t help but look at Samuel Chalmers. As their gazes met, both had a somewhat indescribable look in their eyes.
She had been busy repairing her Divine Soul these past days and hadn’t informed anyone besides Magnolia Hearne.
"Actually... I haven’t cultivated the Ten-tailed."
Scarlett Jennings’s sudden words startled Aaron Hearne and Simon beside her.
"What did you say just now?"
Simon felt he hadn’t heard clearly.
Aaron Hearne also looked at Scarlett Jennings with a deep gaze.
Scarlett cleared her throat, sounding much clearer and even somewhat justifiably confident than before,
"I haven’t cultivated the Ten-tailed."
"But Susan, who returned from the Heavenly Origin with you, said you’ve already cultivated the Ten-tailed."
This news was known not only to the elders of the Hearne clan but also Simon and some key figures at the Mystic Regulation Office.
Although no one had seen it firsthand, at that time when Scarlett Jennings’s Divine Soul returned, the elders, including Aaron Hearne, sensed the residual Ten-tailed aura in Scarlett Jennings’s Divine Soul.
Although it was very weak, wasn’t it because of the damage to the Divine Soul?
Scarlett had previously confessed once to Samuel Chalmers and Dashiell, and now she calmly stated,
"He was mistaken; it was just a coincidence."
Seeing this, Samuel Chalmers also spoke to help her explain,
"Scarlett has been repairing the Divine Soul these days, indeed unable to sense the Ten-tailed power. Back at the Heavenly Origin, she was likely influenced by the true Ten-tailed Divine Soul."
With Samuel Chalmers speaking up, this matter appeared to be true.
Realizing this wasn’t a joke, the scene fell into an inexplicable silence.
All of them had the same question in their hearts at this time—
Does Shu’e know about this?
The answer is naturally that he does not.
If he knew, he wouldn’t have chosen to act now.
Magnolia Hearne suddenly asked,
"If we pass this news to Shu’e now, will he temporarily stop and restart?"
Her words made everyone, including Scarlett Jennings and even Luca Jennings beside her, fall silent and look at her.
What do you think??
This isn’t a drill or a child’s game, where time can be rewound.
Magnolia Hearne also fell silent.
She knew it was impossible, but wasn’t she just asking...?
"Regardless, we must first deal with the situation within the clan territory."
Even though Emily Hearne had taken charge of everything, neither Magnolia Hearne nor Scarlett Jennings could sit back and watch quietly.
Taking many steps back, even if Scarlett Jennings failed to cultivate the Ten-tailed, if the Hearne clan’s people all fell, once Scarlett cultivates the Ten-tailed in the future, she would still be controlled by Shu’e due to the unique connection of the Demon Vein.
Since they have come, they cannot do nothing.
