Yunzhou, Zhongxing Sect

Zhang Wanjing and his party were warmly welcomed when they arrived at Zhongxing Sect. The relationship between the three major sects in Yunzhou was generally good, and occasional disputes were normal behavior.

Zhongxing Sect has also been paying attention to the Five Elements Sect. When Zhang Wanjing returned after forming an infant, Zhongxing Sect speculated that there would be a civil strife in the Five Elements Sect, but unexpectedly Zhang Wanjing brought in Shi Yuntang, and unconditionally supported Zhang Wanjing, instantly suppressing the voices within the Five Elements Sect.

Then the entire reform went very smoothly. Now that the reform of the Five Elements Sect has been over for more than ten years, it has also shown great results. The most direct manifestation is the actions of the Five Elements Sect in the wilderness. The territory occupied by the Five Elements Sect is two or three times that of the Zhongxing Sect, and a lot of benefits have been obtained.

This makes Zhongxing Sect extremely envious. They also want to invest more power in the wilderness, but they can't do it, because Zhongxing Sect is the same as the Five Elements Sect before, with a bloated system, and most of the manpower is consumed in the sect, and it is impossible to play an effective human resource.

Therefore, this made Zhongxing Sect also try to change, but the change was only a taste, because Zhongxing Sect did not have a person like Zhang Wanjing, whose character and ability must be top-notch, and he must have the courage to give it his all. You must know that change will touch the vested interests. Who is willing to change his own life?

No one of the Yuanying of Zhongxing Sect is so loved by Huashen that he can support it unconditionally.

The success of a change often requires many factors such as time, place and people to be superimposed together.

It is for this reason that Zhongxing Sect is extremely envious of the Five Elements Sect for having a disciple like Zhang Wanjing, and also has a great interest in Zhang Wanjing, and has a very warm welcome to Zhang Wanjing.

"Brother Zhang, how did you make the ancestors of Huashen trust you so much?"

Privately, a Yuanying of Zhongxing Sect asked quietly. They envied this point. When they were golden elixir, Huashen gave them their life talismans. Is this a treatment that ordinary people can have? With this treasure, Yuanying can walk sideways.

"Since you are devoted to the public, the ancestor will naturally protect you,"

Zhang Wanjing said frankly. This sounded like a set phrase, but it was also the truth. If it weren't for his personality and behavior, Shi Yuntang would not have favored him.

But the Yuanying of Zhongxing Sect just laughed. What a joke, is he a bad guy? Why doesn't the Huashen of Zhongxing Sect favor him?

Gossip aside, Zhang Wanjing came to discuss things. Zhang Wanjing represented the Five Elements Sect and discussed with Zhongxing Sect about the Wilderness. Since the death of the Heavenly Wolf King, the Thunder Cloud Beast has become the new demon king of the Wilderness.

But the Thunder Cloud Beast is not as strong as the previous Heavenly Wolf King, and was beaten badly by the three major sects. In the past few years, several fourth-level demon beasts were killed by the human race. After that, the Thunder Cloud Beast went to the deeper part of the Wilderness for help. After returning, its strength soared, not weaker than the previous Heavenly Wolf King. There are also new fourth-level demon beasts appearing, and the demon race and the human race once again entered a tug-of-war.

The three sects have to work together to protect their own interests, expand their territory as much as possible, limit the recovery of the demon clan's strength, and limit the development of other forces. This is not a simple matter. The

three sects have already reached a tacit understanding on these matters, but the details still need a long time to discuss. When it comes to interests, the three sects compromise with each other.

······

Lin's residence, Anhua City Lin's strength is getting stronger and stronger. They also bought a property in Yunzhong City as a permanent residence. Lin Die is discussing with the Lin's children at this time. This time she came to Yunzhong City with a lot of money to buy back a lot of resources and continue to improve the strength of the Lin family.

"Third aunt, there is someone outside who wants to see you"

"Who is it?"

"Cao Ying, a disciple of Zhongxing Sect"

"Take her to the living room, I will come later"

"Yes, third aunt"

"You guys discuss it first, and then act separately after the discussion."

Lin Die said to several Lin's children. There are quite a few people from the Lin family this time. The third and fourth generations are the backbone, and there are young people from the seventh and eighth generations who come to see the world.

"Fellow Daoist Cao"

"Sister Lin, no, Senior Lin"

Cao Ying saw Lin Die and was shocked to find that Lin Die was already in the Nascent Soul stage, so she quickly changed her name.

"Just call me Sister Lin, don't call me so old"

"I really envy you, you're already in the Nascent Soul stage"

"Fellow Daoist Cao has perfected his aura, so it shouldn't be difficult to advance to the Nascent Soul stage"

Lin Die said. Cao Ying had perfected the Golden Core many years ago, but because of his inner demon problem, he didn't dare to break through.

"Sister Lin, I came here to ask, do you know where my uncle is?"

"He's dead, don't you know?"

"What?"

Cao Ying's face turned pale and her eyes widened when she heard it.

"You heard it right, he's dead."

"Ah, impossible, how could he be dead?"

"How long have you not seen him?"

"A hundred years. During the last centennial celebration, he left without saying goodbye. After that, I received more than a dozen letters from him one after another, but in the past thirty years, I haven't received any letters from him."

"That's right, so he's dead."

"Impossible, Sister Lin, don't lie to me."

"Calculate it yourself, how old is he?"

"This, this..."

Cao Ying couldn't answer because she didn't know how old Lin Jiang was.

“The lifespan in the Foundation Establishment Period is only 200 years, but this is theoretical. It is possible to be 170 or 180, or even 200. Lin Wu was already quite old when he adopted you, so it is natural that he died of old age”

“Impossible, impossible, Sister Lin must have lied to me”

“Why would I lie to you?”

“My uncle has money, he can buy life-extending treasures. It is impossible for him to die like this”

“You can’t just buy life-extending treasures, Fellow Daoist Cao, you don’t have to do this. Birth, aging, sickness and death are common sense of all human beings, the same is true for cultivators. After all, cultivators are not immortals”

“Impossible, impossible”

“If you can’t see through it, there’s nothing I can do”

Lin Die shook her head. She felt a little sorry for Cao Ying, but she still had to do this. This was what Ouyang Qing had instructed. No matter whether she was dead or not, she had to bite the bullet and die. Lin Wu was dead.

"Sister Lin, how did he die and where was he buried?"

"I don't know. The reason I'm sure he's dead is because his pet beast has returned and the master-servant contract has disappeared. You should know that the master-servant contract is either terminated by the master on his own initiative or when the master dies."

"Really, are you stupid? Can I see them?"

"No, these are my Lin family's things."

"Sister Lin, these are my uncle's pet beasts."

"Lin Wu was passed down from his father, and his father is a member of my Lin family. Whose pet do you say it is?"

"I'll just see it once. I won't take it away, Sister Lin, please."

"Friend Daoist Cao, don't blame me for being ruthless. High-level pet beasts are incredibly valuable. Just because you don't want them doesn't mean that Zhonghang Sect won't come to ask for them. In order to avoid arguments in the future, you'd better not meet them. I'm also sad that Lin Wu is dead. After all, he is a member of my Lin family. But the dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences."

Lin Die refused firmly. This reason was reasonable. Third- and fourth-level pet beasts were already very valuable. There was no guarantee that Zhonghang Sect would not have other ideas. By then, it was still uncertain who would be the heir.

Cao Ying kept begging, but Lin Die always refused, with an extremely cold expression, which made Cao Ying's bad mood worse again.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, your Dao heart is unstable, you should go back to retreat, I have something else to do, I'm leaving first"

"Sister Lin..."

"See you off,"

Lin Die said coldly, and then several Jindan appeared and made a gesture to invite Cao Ying. Cao Ying looked back every three steps and had to leave.

After the people left, Lin Die took out a sound transmission talisman and sent it to the direction of Zhongxing Sect, telling Ouyang Qing that she had done what she had told her. As for whether Cao Ying could give up and break through and then stand up again, that was none of her business.

A moment later, Ouyang Qing, who was far away in Zhonghang Sect, received the news and crushed the sound transmission talisman. Chen Mingyang at the side asked, "Madam, what's the matter?" "

Lin Die helped with Cao Ying's matter."

"Will this work?"

"It's the only way at the moment. We've tried everything, but Lin Wu can't be found, so we can only resort to this."

"If Cao Ying knew about this, she would hate you."

"Hate her if she wants. It's better than destroying it now. There are few female Nascent Souls in the world of immortal cultivation. The word "emotion" is the most difficult to pass. Family, love, friendship, there will be no good result if you get involved."

"Cough cough"

Chen Mingyang coughed twice. What did you say? Don't you have any feelings for him? Saying it in front of him is so hurtful.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Cao Ying."

"I know, I know, don't mention it, don't mention it."

"This matter must be kept secret to the end, understand?"

"I know, I definitely won't tell anyone."

Chen Mingyang nodded. The sect has invested a huge amount of resources in Cao Ying, and is waiting for her to report back to the sect after she breaks through the Nascent Soul stage. He definitely won't say anything nonsense.
