At this time, the city is in chaos.

Lin Hao, who had just returned from breaking through the formation, learned about Yan Hongyi's battle situation from Bai Lin.

"That guy has good luck, and he escaped again."

Lin Hao narrowed his eyes, stared at the direction where Yan Hongyi and the others had escaped, and said to himself in a cold voice.

Little did he know that at this moment in the distant valley, Yan Hongyi was also looking at him with a cold gaze.

"My Lord, I was not able to handle the matter properly before. Please forgive me!"

At this time, Luohan walked up to Lin Hao, knelt on one knee, and said with a look of awe.

"No problem, you did a great job."

Lin Hao said calmly: "In the future, even if we encounter something like today again, we must be as cautious as before."

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Luohan was overjoyed and nodded seriously.

Immediately, Lin Hao looked at Bai Lin standing aside and asked, "You used the sound transmission talisman to contact me a few days ago. Have you discovered that he was a fake lord?"

Bai Lin nodded, and then continued:

"Last month, as soon as the impostor arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he sent the black-clad warrior to ask us to hand over the jade slips, saying that he wanted to strengthen the inspection again. I was already suspicious."

"In the following days, I tried to use the sound transmission talisman several times to find out the truth, but there was no response. I could only half believe it and half doubt it."

"It was not until you, Lord, came back today that I really understood that all of this was rigged!"

After listening to what Bai Lin said, Lin Hao nodded secretly, and he had a clear understanding of the whole process.

Yan Hongyi must have calculated that he was in an ancient battlefield, and the sound transmission note could not transmit the sound source there.

So he began to plan, pretending to be a lord and seizing power step by step.

I have to say, this guy's wisdom is indeed extremely difficult to guard against.

Unfortunately, he missed a step in the end.

That is Lin Hao’s system ability, which has the ability to cure the aftereffects of the Berserker.

Otherwise, the issue of the true and false lord would not be so easily resolved as it is now.

Afterwards, Lin Hao returned to the City Lord's Mansion surrounded by Bai Lin and others.

Because what we are going to discuss next is the military secrets of the territory, we naturally cannot talk too much about it outside.

"My Lord, because of that impostor, we have provoked a conflict with the Great Yan Dynasty. Now that the war is imminent, how do you think we should deal with it?"

Bai Lin frowned slightly and said calmly, "The person leading the army this time is the commander of the border defense army of the Great Yan Dynasty, Qin Xiong."

Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart moved slightly.

Qin Xiong, isn’t he Qin Yu’s father?

Lin Hao naturally didn't want to meet his sworn brother's father on the battlefield.

Besides, this conflict was just a misunderstanding, and there was no need for the two sides to go to war.

The end result will undoubtedly be a waste of time and money and just added pressure.

Later, Lin Hao learned from Bai Lin that the conflict was caused by Yan Hongyi sending troops to seize a small Lingyang stone mine on the border of the Great Yan Dynasty.

All the captives were killed and their bodies were hung for public display. This humiliating behavior completely aroused the anger of the Great Yan Dynasty.

In this situation, even if the Chaos Territory returns the Lingyang Stone mine, it will probably be difficult to calm down.

"My Lord, what is your plan?"

Bai Lin asked with a serious expression.

Lin Hao remained silent, tapping the table next to his chair with his fingers.

Knock knock knock…

The crisp knocking sounds echoed rhythmically in the hall.

Seeing Lin Hao thinking, everyone was silent and did not dare to disturb him.

At a certain moment, the knocking sound stopped abruptly.

Bai Lin, Luohan and others looked stern, waiting for Lin Hao's next order.

"Except Bai Lin, everyone else please leave."

Lin Hao raised his eyes, glanced at everyone, and said lightly.

"yes."

Luohan and the others nodded immediately and left the front hall, except Bai Lin who stayed.

"My Lord, what can I do for you?"

Bai Lin was a smart man, so he naturally understood that Lin Hao must have some private secrets that he only told.

From this, we can also see the lord's trust in himself.

Thinking of this, Bai Lin couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Lin Hao didn't say anything, and under Bai Lin's puzzled gaze, he took out a jade slip from his storage ring.

As the runes surged, it seemed as if some information was engraved within them.

After a dozen breaths, Lin Hao stopped engraving, and then set up a simple rune blockade on the surface of the jade slip.

If the rune code is not used to open it, and if it is opened forcibly by external force, the jade slip will explode instantly and the information inside will not be visible.

"You should personally deliver this thing to the Great Yan Dynasty and give it to the young master of the Qin family, Qin Yu."

As he spoke, Lin Hao handed the jade slip to Bai Lin.

"Qin Yu?"

Bai Lin was slightly stunned and asked in surprise: "Could it be the son of General Qin Xiong?"

"Yes, that's him."

Lin Hao nodded calmly and instructed: "Make sure to hand it over to him personally."

"clear."

Bai Lin nodded seriously, vaguely realizing that this matter was very likely related to this war.

Immediately, Bai Lin walked out of the hall quickly, disguised himself a little, and then rode a flying bird and headed straight for the Great Yan Dynasty.

"I hope the second brother can solve this matter."

Lin Hao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, muttering with a smile.

Although he tried his best not to reveal his identity, it didn't matter if his brothers knew it.

Immediately, Lin Hao stood up and walked into the secret room in the inner courtyard where he practiced in seclusion.

The metal door was tightly closed, with Xiaobai guarding outside.

Lin Hao sat cross-legged on the stone platform as a ball of swallowing black mist suddenly appeared in front of him.

Within it was the Yin Sha Qi and Yang Gang Power that he had obtained from the ancient ruins!

Both energies are of the extreme, symbolizing the yin and yang realm of the third level of the holy domain!

Warriors below the Saint Realm simply cannot absorb it on their own without other auxiliary energy sources.

If you are not careful, you will explode and die.

Lin Hao flipped his palm lightly, and the talisman seal on the palm of his hand flashed with green light.

The silver-haired man 'Wei Ping' said that the energy contained in this seal can reconcile the absorption of yin and yang forces, but without personal experience, Lin Hao didn't know whether it was reliable.

"Try it first."

Lin Hao's mind moved slightly, and his palm suddenly reached into the black hole, suddenly grabbing the yin and yang forces.

The palm of the hand spiritual seal, the light surged, emitting an obscure energy fluctuation.

Immediately, Lin Hao tried to absorb a trace of Yin and Yang power. As it was filtered through the talisman seal, the originally violent Yin and Yang energy suddenly became mellow, slowly flowing into his body and nourishing his limbs and bones.

“It really works!”

Lin Hao was delighted and immediately used his spiritual sense to begin absorbing greedily.

In an instant, streams of yin and yang energy continuously poured into the body and under Lin Hao's control, tempered his muscles, bones, blood, and internal organs.

Finally, this huge amount of energy will be gathered in the Dantian acupoint, ready to impact the ninth spiritual vein later!

However, at this moment, the Flame Spirit Infant seemed to sense something that was very nourishing. It was so excited that it trembled slightly and began to absorb it on its own...
