Chapter 688 Changes in Tianyuan City, with Lin Yu and Bai Zhi

Tianxuan Mountain.

After Qin Xin and the others returned, Feng Bi and Yang Xiu also left.

One of them is the dean of the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy, and the other is the Grand Elder of the Tianxuan Sect. They both have many important matters to handle.

Therefore, when they learned that Qin Xin needed to return to the Eastern Wilderness, they did not send them there.

After all, traveling back and forth via teleportation arrays would be much more convenient.

Upon arriving at the teleportation array at Tuocang Mountain, Qin Xin entrusted some of his spiritual consciousness to the Tianxuan Sect disciple guarding the array, and then led Elder Mo and Qin Qianfan into the array.

As the formation was activated, the surrounding spatial energy trembled.

Qin Xin could sense through his martial spirit that the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, and that a mysterious force was pulling him from a very distant place.

This is precisely the core working principle of this teleportation array. It relies on the connection between two teleportation arrays to achieve the teleportation effect after a martial artist enters and is activated.

After a moment of disorientation, Qin Xin, Elder Mo, and Qin Qianfan found themselves in the city of Suiye.

Looking at the changes around him, Qin Xin didn't feel much emotion. He just wanted to go to the Yan Dynasty as soon as possible to see if there was any strange fire.

As for the pills and other elixirs needed to subdue the strange flames, Qin Xin had already prepared them almost completely. As long as he encountered these strange flames, he could start collecting them at any time.

"Don't leave yet, let's go visit an acquaintance."

Instead of rushing to take them back to Tianyuan City, Elder Mo said something to Qin Xin.

The three then appeared in the city lord's mansion of Suyab City.

Zhou Lei was also waiting here at this time, seemingly knowing that the three of them were going to bring something.

"Brother Zhou! How have you been?"

As soon as Old Mo stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, he shouted loudly.

Zhou Lei and Old Mo seemed to be very familiar with each other, and Zhou Lei immediately got up and went forward to greet him.

Upon seeing Qin Xin, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"I never expected that Qin Xiao's son would have such strength now."

Zhou Lei was somewhat surprised that Qin Xin had now entered the Dharma Aspect Realm, because the last time he saw Qin Xin, he still needed his help.

But now everything seems to have turned upside down, and perhaps one day he will need Qin Xin's help; who knows?

After some casual conversation, Qin Xin learned about the relationship between Zhou Lei and his father, Qin Xiao.

The two were originally fellow disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect. Because he couldn't stand the sect's treatment of Qin Xiao, Zhou Lei left the Xuantian Sword Sect.

Furthermore, after learning that Qin Xiao's lineage of the Qin clan had been driven out of Zhongzhou, he immediately took charge of Suiye City.

The purpose of this was to prevent Zhongzhou from having too many powerful forces that might attack Qin Xiao's lineage.

All he did was to ensure that a spark of Qin Xiao's lineage could be preserved.

Qin Xin's growth has clearly exceeded his expectations.

“Lord Zhou, why don’t you come to my Tianyuan Qin Clan? We’re doing quite well now, and we have a certain status within the Great Xia Dynasty.”

Zhou Lei hesitated upon hearing the invitation from Elder Mo.

However, after some thought, Zhou Lei declined the invitation. His years of guarding Suyab had given him a clearer understanding of many things.

The Tianyuan Qin Clan's existence or absence makes no difference, and if he were to join, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble, so he politely declined.

Qin Xin and the other two were aware of the potential consequences, so they did not press the matter further.

After a brief chat, Qin Xinhao needed to return to Tianyuan City to see how the Tianyuan Qin Clan had developed, so he did not stay in Suiye City for long.

The three of them traversed the withered leaf forest, and the powerful aura emanating from them made the demonic beasts dare not approach them at all.

So the journey was quite peaceful.

Before arriving at the gate of Tianyuan City.

Qin Xin looked at the city, which was more than twice the size of what it used to be, and was somewhat surprised.

These facts demonstrate that the Tianyuan Qin clan has indeed developed very well in recent years.

As the three entered the town, they immediately attracted the attention of many passersby.

These people quickly recognized Qin Qianfan and Elder Mo.

This also served as an immediate warning to some lawbreakers in the town, telling them to behave themselves in the near future.

After entering Tianyuan City, Qin Xin took a look at the city's development. The streets he used to be familiar with had changed quite a bit.

After entering the huge market in the city center.

Qin Xin also discovered that there were several times more merchants and martial artists here than in the previous Tianyuan City.

The current situation is undoubtedly due to the support of the Great Xia royal family.

"Huh? Lin Yu? Bai Zhi?"

Just as Qin Xin was about to leave, he suddenly saw two very familiar figures.

These two were none other than Senior Brother Lin Yu and Senior Sister Bai Zhi, whom Qin Xin had met in Suyab City.

However, both of them are now wearing the guard uniforms of the Tianyuan Qin Clan.

Qin Xin had previously introduced the two to the Qin Clan of Tianyuan City, and he was quite surprised that they had actually joined.

Lin Yu and Bai Zhi are now responsible for the security of the Qin clan's larger markets and industries in Tianyuan City, and they patrol the city every day.

After receiving notification from the guards at the city gate, the two of them originally planned to come and greet Qin Qianfan and Elder Mo loudly.

But to my surprise, Qin Xin was also there.

Several years have passed, and both Lin Yu and Bai Zhi have improved their strength to some extent, but much more slowly than Qin Xin.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Xin gave Lin Yu and Bai Zhi some cultivation pills for those in the Yuanfu Realm who had already advanced to the third stage of the Condensing Core Realm. Then, he left the market with Qin Qianfan and Elder Mo, preparing to return to the Qin Clan Manor.

Bai Zhi watched Qin Xin leave, intending to say something, but Lin Yu stopped her.

"Should we tell Qin Xin about Pingyun's death back then?"

"Now that he's so powerful, it would be easy for him to avenge Pingyun."

Bai Zhi didn't quite understand Lin Yu's actions and expressed some dissatisfaction.

However, Lin Yu seemed to know very well what was going on in his mind and said, "You, me, and Pingyun are all here. Back then, we only met Qin Xin by chance."

"It is precisely because of Qin Xin that we are able to come to Tianyuan City and live a life of peace and tranquility."

"If we bother him at this time, it might annoy him."

Bai Zhi did not refute Lin Yu's words, but she also had some doubts in her heart, "Qin Xin shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

"Now that so many years have passed, everyone is constantly changing."

"As for Pingyun's matter, it is no longer something that you or I can control."

After speaking, Lin Yu fell silent, watching Qin Xin's departing figure, tightly gripping the medicine bottle in her hand, lost in thought for a moment.
