The head of Zhongxing Sect in Yunzhou

and several Yuanying elders are accompanying Lin Batian, who is visiting. In particular, the thirteenth elder Ouyang Qing is very enthusiastic about Lin Batian because Lin Batian saved her life a few years ago.

At that time, Ouyang Qing was responsible for the defense of Zhongxing Sect's stronghold in the north of Yunzhong Mountains. Unexpectedly, the fourth-stage late wolf king targeted them and launched millions of monsters to attack their stronghold. In the crisis, Lin Batian took action and repelled the wolf king's attack. His powerful strength impressed the Zhongxing Sect's group.

Afterwards, Ouyang Qing took the initiative to make friends and invited Lin Batian to come to participate in the centennial celebration of Yunzhong City. Lin Batian readily agreed, which led to today's trip.

"Then it's settled. After the centennial celebration of Yunzhong City, our Anhua City will open another stronghold in the north of Yunzhong Mountains and live next to your clan. At that time, you and I will help each other..."

Lin Batian chatted with the head of Zhonghang Sect for a while and decided that the Lin family of Anhua City was ready to march into the wilderness north of Yunzhong Mountains.

In fact, Anhua City is closer to the wilderness in the southwest of Yunzhou, and it only takes a few thousand miles to reach the wilderness. But unfortunately, the main immortal cultivation forces in Yunzhou are not in this direction, but in the north of Yunzhong Mountains. His family can't afford to provoke the demon king in the southwest, so he can only follow Zhonghang Sect to attack the north.

Wilderness strongholds are very important for a force. A large number of scattered cultivators enter the wilderness to hunt demons. They need a safe place to repair, need to replenish supplies, and need to exchange intelligence. These are all what strongholds can provide. A stronghold is a treasure pot for a force. If it is well managed, it is more cost-effective than farming.

"Then I will represent Zhongxing Sect and wait for the arrival of City Lord Lin in the wilderness."

The head of Zhongxing Sect nodded. He had heard from Ouyang Qing what Lin Batian did in the wilderness. With the cultivation of the early stage of Nascent Soul, he repelled the attack of the wolf king of the late stage of the fourth stage. This strength is really amazing. Even those sword madmen of Yunjian Sect may not be able to do it. In addition,

he learned that Lin Batian was only more than 300 years old, and he was even more impressed by his great potential. If Anhua City and Zhongxing Sect were adjacent, he would kill this person at all costs, because Lin Batian could threaten the existence of Zhongxing Sect.

But Anhua City is too far away from Zhongxing Sect. They choose to make friends with distant countries instead of conquering them, because for a large sect like Zhongxing Sect, there is not much motivation to expand. What they have to do is to maintain their status and prevent the sect from declining.

"City Lord Lin, our Zhonghang Sect has held a banquet for you. Please be sure to attend tonight."

Finally, the head of the sect said to Lin Batian. Lin Batian also brought some children with him. Many of the female cultivators were beautiful and had high cultivation. He had been eyeing them and was watching whether the Zhonghang Sect disciples could abduct them.

Lin Batian readily agreed. This time, he brought the best of the Lin family's children from several generations. In addition to letting them see the world, he also wanted to see if he could find a Taoist partner for them.

Zhonghang Sect arranged a residence. Lin Batian returned to the residence and said to Lin Die, "Dress up a little prettier tonight, don't wear plain clothes."

"Dad, my daughter is a sword cultivator and is good at killing. What's wrong with wearing colorful clothes?"

"What else can I do? I'm looking for a husband for you

." "Didn't you never let us arrange a marriage?"

"Arranged marriage is when your parents force you to find a husband. This is called a blind date. Do you understand blind dates?"

Lin Batian explained. He really didn't ask for an arranged marriage. This was just a blind date. Don't resist it so much.

"I don't want to go on a blind date. The disciples of Zhonghang Sect are just so-so."

"I don't care. I see that there are many beautiful female disciples in Zhonghang Sect. I, Lin Batian's daughter, cannot be outdone by them."

"Then why don't you call those from the fourth and fifth generations? Why do you call me?"

Lin Die said speechlessly. In terms of appearance, she is not the best. The Lin family has many children. There are several granddaughters and great-granddaughters in the later generations. They are so beautiful. I don't know how many male cultivators are obsessed with them.

"I said, there are not many people in our Lin family. Of course, they were kidnapped from outside. Could they be sent away? What do you think?"

Lin Batian was even more speechless. He still had great use for those beautiful descendants of the Lin family. He had to kidnap a few high-quality sons-in-law to come to his house.

"Then aren't you afraid that I will run away with someone?"

"No one knows a daughter better than her father. Don't I know you? Anyway, you just have to listen to me. Perform well tonight, and I'll let you lead the team to Yunzhong City tomorrow. Yunzhong City's centennial celebration is still more than ten days away, and it's already very lively now."

Lin Batian laughed. How could he not know his own daughter? Her determination to pursue the Tao is definitely not something that an ordinary man can impress. If such a top-quality man really appears, he will be happy to do so.

·······

In Yunzhong City, Lin Jiang was listening to music in a brothel. Ever since he wiped out the main force of Cangying Ridge in a battle in Yunzhong Mountains, he immediately became famous. The few families in the Black Water Pond did not come to cause trouble, and the outside world mistakenly believed that they were all afraid of Lin Jiang. For a time, Lin Jiang's cave house became a forbidden area for several forces. The territory expanded to fifty miles away from Lin Jiang's cave house, and they no longer moved forward.

Lin Jiang was also happy about this, so that no one would bother him. However, soon after, he had many friends, even some of whom were just nodding acquaintances, and they were enthusiastic to make friends with Lin Jiang.

If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you. If you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives. Lin Jiang felt it very well, but he did not despise these people much. It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. He himself is also a layman, so he still maintains a superficial relationship with them.

"The little tyrant of Yunzhou they are talking about is the Lin family in Anhua City, right?"

Lin Jiang heard many people talking about the little tyrant of Yunzhou, and it sounded like they were talking about the Lin family.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are talking about the Lin family's patriarch, Lin Batian."

"Is there a story? Tell me about it."

"It's about the north. It is said that the Lin family will also march into the north and prepare to set up a stronghold in the north. This is a big deal for independent cultivators."

"Tell me in detail."

"It seems that it was three years ago. The Zhonghang Sect's stronghold in the north was besieged by the fourth-stage late Wolf King. At that time, the Wolf King summoned nearly one million monsters, which were so densely packed that they could not be counted. The Zhonghang Sect was led by the thirteenth elder Ouyang Qing, who led three thousand Zhonghang Sect disciples, plus five or six thousand independent cultivators to hold on. The two sides fought hard. Just when the Zhonghang Sect's stronghold was in danger, Lin Batian from Anhua City took action. His Overlord Spear was invincible..."

Someone around him explained to Lin Jiang what happened in the north. At that time, Lin Jiang was still in retreat, so naturally he didn't know the situation, but it was a big fuss at the time. All the Nascent Soul elders of the Zhonghang Sect who were in retreat were urgently awakened and prepared to go to support.

Lin Batian defeated the fourth-stage late wolf king and became famous. Now, there are few high-level cultivators in Yunzhou who don’t know him. He is praised by the outside world as the Little Overlord of Yunzhou.

However, for the lower-level cultivators, they are more concerned about the fact that Anhua City wants to set up a base in the wilderness. In the wilderness, a safe base is too important. The first choice is naturally those strong bases, so that it can be considered safe and reliable.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lin wants to go to the north to try his luck. With Fellow Daoist Lin's strength, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself."

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Lin, the south and the north are completely different. In the south, you can only earn a few spirit stones a year, but in the north, it’s different. A powerful foundation-building cultivator can earn hundreds of thousands of spirit stones a year."

"Fellow Daoist Lin..."

Several people suggested that Lin Jiang go to the north to try his luck, and they all talked about the benefits of going to the north.

Lin Jiang remained calm on the surface, but he was speechless in his heart. Aren't these words the same as the ones he used to fool Xie Youjia and the others? They only talked about the benefits, not the risks. People who don't know the business will be cheated.

Lin Jiang had inquired about the situation in the north many times and had a general idea of ​​it. The north did make a lot of money from hunting monsters, but many people died. There were always a few people who died. Even if they were in the Jindan stage, one or two would die every ten or eight years. Moreover,

the most ruthless people in the north were actually the sects that opened strongholds. The prices in the strongholds were even more ruthless than those in Yunzhong City. The majority of the profits were in the hands of the sects. If the north was really so profitable, the people in Black Water Pond and Medicine Immortal Valley would not stay in Yunzhong Mountains.

Lin Jiang did not refuse or agree on the surface. He would not easily reveal his attitude and perfunctorily dealt with them vaguely.

Seeing that Lin Jiang was unwilling to express his opinion, they could not force him, so they had to change the subject and talked about the upcoming Centennial Celebration. The Centennial Celebration was only a few days away. Now the Yunzhong Mountains were extremely crazy, and a large number of independent cultivators began to flee again.

Lin Jiang was silent about this. He killed Yusong of Cangying Ridge, so no one dared to disturb him. But in other places, blood flowed like a river. Black Water Pond, Yaoxian Valley, Songmao Mountain, and Baiyugang, these four independent cultivator forces attacked each other, and countless people were killed and injured.

And not only them, but also many powerful characters suddenly appeared, and even some small and medium-sized forces, such as those villages and towns outside Yunzhong City, they also intervened.

In short, the ordinary independent cultivators in Yunzhong Mountains are leeks and fat sheep. Anyone can come to slaughter them and plunder their wealth, and one batch after another. Now that this group of people are dead, countless independent cultivators will pour in in the future.

This makes Lin Jiang feel sad for the fate of independent cultivators. He has great sympathy for them, but Lin Jiang is powerless. He is just a foundation-building independent cultivator.

"It's almost done, let's go our separate ways."

Lin Jiang glanced at the sky and asked everyone to go their separate ways. He also had to go. He couldn't always hang out in places like Baihua Tower. He had to cheer up.

This centennial celebration is a rare event in Yunzhong City. Countless treasures have appeared, and Lin Jiang must take the opportunity to get a few of them, such as things that can improve his cultivation qualifications. He also thinks that his cultivation speed is too slow.
