When the man in ancient costume saw Lin Xuan looking at him, the killing intent in his eyes intensified, as if a raging fire was burning in his eyes, about to burst forth.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan gave a dismissive sneer.
I've remembered this face.
Needless to say, this guy must be from the Hongshan faction, and he must have a close relationship with Hongshan, otherwise he wouldn't be able to unleash such murderous intent on him so recklessly.
"Lin Xuan..."
Just then, a voice came from behind.
It was Duan Nantian.
He walked towards Lin Xuan with a smile and sat down next to Lin Xuan under the gaze of many people.
"General Duan, aren't you afraid of being misunderstood if you sit like this?"
Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly as he looked at Duan Nantian and chuckled, "Right now, there are people who hate me to the bone. You're just making it easy for them to hate you!"
"Oh, who is it?"
Duan Nantian chuckled, then followed Lin Xuan's gaze to the man in ancient costume, and his lips twitched.
Then, with a nonchalant air, he said, "You mean Mu Qingfeng? Hehe... He's Hongshan's cousin."
"Cousin?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Hong Shan, an old man, had such a young cousin.
"You kid, what's so strange about that? When your strength reaches our level, it's not unusual for us to have the art of preserving our youth."
Duan Nantian seemed to have seen through Lin Xuan's thoughts, and immediately chuckled, saying, "But you have to be careful of this Mu Qingfeng."
This person and Hongshan had a very good relationship; although they were cousins, their bond was stronger than that of blood brothers.
Because Mu Qingfeng grew up in Hongshan's home, Hongshan's mother treated him like her own son. Hongshan's breakthrough to the Celestial Realm was entirely due to Mu Qingfeng's help.
Moreover, this person possesses extraordinary talent, and his current strength has reached the second realm of the Celestial Beings.
"Heh, what good will being careful do? Didn't you see? This guy wants to tear me apart right now."
Lin Xuan smiled dismissively.
He killed Hong Shan, so he and Mu Qingfeng were now sworn enemies.
It's no use being careful; a battle is inevitable sooner or later.
However, Lin Xuan was not afraid at all. He was only at the second level of the Celestial Realm. He was indeed very powerful, but that was in relation to others.
They are no match for Lin Xuan.
In fact, what Lin Xuan was thinking was whether he should take this opportunity to kill Mu Qingfeng.
Whether you kill one or two, it doesn't matter.
"Lin Xuan, Mu Qingfeng is not alone."
At this moment, Duan Nantian spoke again, giving Lin Xuan a meaningful look, and said, "I believe you've heard the rumors circulating outside!"
This is true.
Their faction will definitely try to suppress you, and they'll most likely target you in your garrison duties.
These guys have lost a lot of face and are determined to get rid of you to save face.
Unfortunately, this time the rotation and garrison duties were led by them, and our faction didn't have much say.
So you'll have to be careful yourself.
"So you mean you can't help me? I have to shoulder everything by myself."
Lin Xuan curled his lip and gave a cold laugh.
Duan Nantian really thinks he's a fool, that he doesn't know what Duan Nantian and his lineage are thinking.
It's just a deliberate move to put him in the spotlight, to compete with people from Hongshan, Mu Qingfeng's faction.
So, do they hide behind the scenes and reap the benefits?
They're all old foxes, why pretend to be innocent?
However, Lin Xuan didn't mind this. In fact, he and Duan Nantian's lineage were mutually exploiting each other.
Duan Nantian and his group used themselves to fight against their opponents, while he could also use Duan Nantian's lineage to intimidate others.
They can even occasionally plunder some benefits.
He rose to prominence too quickly; he didn't have much of a foundation in Shanhaiguan and needed to leverage existing influence.
Of course, such days won't last long.
His own strength is steadily improving. The day he breaks through the limit of the life and death realm and enters the realm of celestial beings will be the day when he shines brightly throughout Shanhaiguan.
At that time, he will not need to rely on anyone's power; he will suppress anyone who disobeys him.
In addition, the Shanhe Army was also his reliance. With 100,000 soldiers, the lowest level being the second stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, what army in the entire Shanhaiguan area could compare to such strength?
Lin Xuan was confident that it wouldn't be long before he would become a major force.
No one can stop him.
Duan Nantian smiled awkwardly after Lin Xuan's words and said, "You can't say that. Although we can't control your guarding mission..."
But I can give you some resources. You can tell me what you need.
We will definitely not refuse to help if we can.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly. What did he mean by "can help"? It sounded nice, but the subtext was that if he couldn't help, then don't mind.
When he actually needs something, I doubt he'll be able to help much!
However, despite his inward sneer, he still had to put on a show of politeness. Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "With Garrison Commander Duan's words, I feel much more at ease."
I'm dissatisfied with Duan Zhenshou, and I actually need your help with something.
"Look at our newly established Shanhe Army, we have nothing, and the soldiers are almost starving..."
As soon as he said that, Duan Nantian's face immediately darkened.
He cursed Lin Xuan inwardly for being utterly shameless, truly not letting go of the slightest opportunity.
They've lost all sense of shame in their pursuit of resources.
Everyone in Shanhaiguan knows that your Shanhe Army has the best treatment; they can eat elixirs like candy. And you're here telling me you have no resources and are about to starve.
Even if you're truly starving, you deserve it.
Who gave you the right to distribute so many pills to the soldiers of the Shanhe Army so recklessly? You should know that even he, the garrison commander, is envious of many of these pills!
"Cough cough cough..."
Duan Nantian cursed Lin Xuan's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, coughed twice, and then said with a wry smile, "General Lin, don't worry, I will report your request to the higher-ups."
"Then thank you very much, General Duan. I just hope that the higher-ups can see my difficulties."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "My Shanhe Army is in such dire straits. When we were the First Army, we were used as cannon fodder and pawns to gain credit."
Now that things are finally getting a little better, I'm being targeted by people everywhere.
They have no resources and no status.
It's difficult, really difficult!
"Damn it!" Duan Nantian couldn't help but want to curse.
If someone like you says it's difficult, then what are we, beggars?
"I have something to do, so I can't keep you company."
Duan Nantian immediately stood up to leave. He didn't want to stay with Lin Xuan for even a second longer. This little bastard was too infuriating and shameless.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to resist kicking Lin Xuan a couple of times.
certainly!
The most important point is that he can't beat Lin Xuan!
If they really fight, he'll be the one who suffers.
They can't win a fight, and they don't have the same shamelessness as Lin Xuanhou. What's the point of staying? Are they just waiting to be manipulated?
