Bingzhou, Lin's residence

Lin Jiang looked at the strange crowd and was a little confused. Where are the people? Where is Lin Batian, Lin Die, Lin Ying, and the people of the Lin family?

Could something have happened?

Lin Jiang hurriedly asked those strangers, and their answer was that they didn't know where the previous owner was. When they came here, there was no one here. They were just a group of casual cultivators who occupied the ownerless land when they saw it.

"It should be fine. They should have withdrawn. If the four major families found out, there would be a fierce battle."

Lin Jiang comforted himself, and then Lin Jiang rushed to Yucheng under the command of Su Yuzong. When he left Yucheng, he found a few Lin's children to help him manage his business.

But when he returned to Yucheng, Lin Jiang's Lingyu business was gone, and Lin Jiang didn't know what to say.

"I was only away for more than 20 years. Why are you playing with me as if I had been away for 200 years and things have changed?"

Lin Jiang almost cursed. More than 20 years is a long time for mortals, but the people he is dealing with now are either Jindan or Yuanying. Is more than 20 years really a long time?

Lin Jiang did not give up and continued to look. Fortunately, his restaurants were still there and were now well-known old brands in Yucheng.

"Uncle Xiao?"

"Are you from the Lin family?"

"Really, uncle, I am Lin Gongyun, a descendant of the Gong generation."

"Where are the people before?"

Lin Jiang asked. He remembered that the people who came before were not the Gong generation, but the Ding and Dong generations.

"The elders before have all gone back."

"Let's find a quiet place to talk."

"Yes, Uncle Xiao, come this way."

Lin Gongyun took Lin Jiang into the private room, and Lin Jiang asked about the Lin family.

"The family has moved again, it should be seven or eight years, and I haven't been in touch with Uncle Xiao, so my third aunt asked me to stay here and wait for Uncle to come back." "

Why did they move? Where

did they move to?" "I don't know why. They were notified suddenly. As for where they moved to, I'll ask someone to pick up Uncle."

"You don't know either?"

"Yes, I don't know. When I came to Yucheng, the family hadn't moved yet. Later I received news that the family had moved away."

"Then what about the profits of these shops over the years?"

"Every year someone comes to take them away."

"What about the Lingyu businesses?"

"Gone. Someone occupied them."

"Tell me in detail."

"About ten years ago, Senior Yi Zhibai tried to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage in seclusion, but failed and was seriously injured. He was left with only one breath left. Later, while he was recuperating, something happened to Senior Yi Zhibai's jade gambling place. Their people didn't keep an eye on it, and a master appeared. He bought their raw stones at a low price and cut out many peerless gems. The place suffered huge losses. After that, his fellow apprentices took advantage of the situation and asked Senior Yi Zhibai to pay compensation. Senior Yi Zhibai couldn't afford it, so he could only use his property to offset it. Even ours was taken away by others.

Later, it was the head of the family who stepped in to recover some of the losses. After that, we opened a new business ourselves, but we didn't have any connections, so we couldn't keep it going. It closed in less than two years. After that, we only kept these few restaurants. They didn't make much money, but they just left a channel in Yucheng..."

"I saw him build a tall building, I saw him entertain guests, and I saw his building collapse..."

Lin Jiang sighed after listening to this. He knew from the beginning that what Yi Zhibai did was very risky, but he didn't expect something to happen so soon, in less than twenty years.

"Yeah, things change all the time."

"Where's Yi Zhibai?"

"I don't know. After Yi Zhibai got into trouble, I haven't heard from him. Some say he's dead, some say he's gone. I don't know the details."

"Got it. You contact the Lin family. I'll go look somewhere else."

Lin Jiang nodded. After a while, he left.

He went to Su Yu Sect to inquire about Yi Zhibai's news. The people of Su Yu Sect told Lin Jiang that Yi Zhibai had been traveling for many years. No one knew where he was, not even his descendants.

"Could he have returned to the Kingdom of God?"

Lin Jiang guessed secretly. The hundreds of years in the Kingdom of God were definitely a very important moment in Yi Zhibai's life. He was also a young talent. He broke through the Nascent Soul at a young age, but he was stranded in the Kingdom of God for many years, wasting his youth.

But Lin Jiang didn't have time to look for Yi Zhibai. He was an adult. Every stage of his life was his own. He couldn't blame others. All Lin Jiang could do was to pray for Yi Zhibai silently in his heart.

After returning to Yucheng and staying for half a month, someone from the Lin family came. The person who came was Lin Die.

"Where have you been these years?"

"I've been hanging around in Zhongzhou."

"It's outrageous"

"Yes, Third Aunt taught me that."

Lin Jiang was scolded honestly. He didn't expect that so many things would happen when he left this time.

"Third aunt, how is the Lin family? Why did they move again?"

"My father acted too hastily. A Lin family member was caught. For safety, we had to move again."

"How much was the loss?"

"Not big, but the people of the four major sects suffered heavy losses. They don't have much strength anymore. They can only rely on themselves in the future."

"Alas, how could this happen?"

"The enemy is strong and we are weak. That's how it is. We are in danger at any moment."

Lin Die said. Their Lin family is already very powerful. They have struggled for so many years and have not been destroyed. If it were an ordinary enemy, their ashes would have been scattered long ago.

"I'll go back with Third aunt to take a look."

"Okay, go back and take a look. Your master has been looking for you many times. Think about how to explain it."

"Ahem"

"What, are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of? The Lin family members are upright."

"Don't ask me for help when the time comes."

"Haha, Third aunt, my good Third aunt, that..."

"Go away, regain your arrogance just now."

Lin Die glanced at him. The boy actually dared to leave without saying goodbye. This time, I must make you suffer.

Lin Jiang smiled bitterly, somewhat helpless. He did not expect so many things to happen when he left this time. He was indeed going to be scolded.

Lin Jiang left with Lin Die. The Lin family's base had been moved to a mountainous area on the border of Zhongzhou. It was an angled area with low spiritual veins. The cultivators around mainly practiced Qi and built their foundation.

"Third aunt, are there only a few people left in the Lin family?"

Lin Jiang looked at the Lin family's base. Why were there only a hundred people? Were there so many casualties?

"Of course not. This area is a place that all the major clans in Zhongzhou dislike. If there were too many people, it would be too conspicuous. So only so few people were arranged. The others have their own arrangements."

"If you keep tossing around, you can't cultivate high-level cultivators. You must stabilize."

"You tell me, isn't there anything you can do now?"

Lin Die replied. Lin Batian was bent on revenge and kept assassinating and provoking the four major families. The four major families kept sending people to find them, so they could only keep changing places.

"It's my fault, otherwise Yucheng could have been a base for the Lin family."

"It's not your fault either. A big thing happened in Yucheng after you left. With your strength, you would have died if you were there. You were right to run away."
