Lin Yang had never felt so close to death. Looking at the rat claws getting closer and closer, he knew how to deal with it, but his spiritual energy had been exhausted and he was unable to use his sword skills at all.
"Beep, the salvation system has finished loading. It senses that the host is in danger and will restore the host's spiritual energy free of charge."
Huh? This is... the spiritual energy in my Dantian has suddenly been restored to full!
Now is not the time to think about why this happened, just survive first and think about other things later.
Lin Yang did not make any unnecessary movements. The magic sword was filled with sword energy again. He raised it and slashed it upwards. The rat demon that was rushing towards him paused and its head and body were separated.
"Finally I'm alive. Haha... the bottleneck is indeed loose. But, this is too dangerous. I'm lucky this time. I have to go back quickly."
"Beep, killed a level one rat demon, got 1 merit point."
Lin Yang ignored the voice and quickly jumped in one direction and left.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he saw the guards who were looking for him and breathed a sigh of relief!
"I'm here."
"Master, why did you run away so suddenly? I was so worried when I came back and couldn't find you."
"I'm fine. I saw the scenery over there was nice, so I went to take a look. I was so enchanted that I forgot the time. Let's go back to the city."
"Okay, Master. Master, you can't do this again. We're already quite far from the patrol area. What if there are monsters? Any monster soldier is equivalent to a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. You're only at the sixth level of Qi training, so it's very dangerous!"
"Uncle Liang, I am a sword cultivator, a sword cultivator with the strongest attack power. Although my cultivation is only at the sixth level of Qi training, my attack power is definitely not lower than that of an ordinary demon soldier-level little demon."
"While sword cultivators are powerful in attack, their defense is too poor. They are not like traditional cultivators who know many spells! If they miss a target, it will be very dangerous. Young Master, you are only at the sixth level of Qi training. There is still time. Otherwise, why not give up sword cultivation and switch to traditional cultivation."
"Uncle Liang, I've made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I won't change my technique."
"Master, you...ah..."
Uncle Liang didn't know what he was thinking about, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
With Uncle Liang, a master in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was no danger outside the patrol area. They entered the patrol area safely, then passed through the formation to enter the safe zone, and then passed through the protective formation to enter Guigu City.
"Young City Lord."
"Young City Lord."
Entering Guigu City, one enters Lin Yang's territory. Guigu City was originally a market for nearby cultivators, a legacy passed down through generations by the Lin family. To prevent ordinary people from straying, they constructed a frightening formation, and the valley where the market was located became known as the Ghost Valley.
After the demon disaster, they collected ordinary people and built a city, which they simply named Guigu City. Lin Yang was the only child of Lin Fan, the lord of Guigu City, so he was naturally the young lord.
Lin Yang has a good temper and doesn't have the bad behavior of the second generation of cultivators, so he is still very popular in Guigu City. Walking on the street, people who know him will greet him.
"Hey—isn't this our Young City Lord? Why isn't he practicing in seclusion instead of wandering out?! It's very dangerous out there. It's better not to hang around outside if you're only at the sixth level of Qi training. It's too dangerous. You're a waste of Five Elements spiritual roots!"
"Zhao Ning, it's you again. Haha, I'm at the sixth level of Qi training, but I advanced to the sixth level with the aptitude of five elements spiritual roots, which makes me a leader among people with the same aptitude. You're only at the eighth level with the aptitude of three spiritual roots, which puts you at the bottom among people with the same aptitude. I really don't know if you can be considered a waste?"
"Hmph! Sharp-tongued! City Lord Lin has been in the Foundation Establishment stage for almost three years now. He's almost ready to advance to the Golden Core stage. According to the alliance's regulations, Golden Core stage cultivators must go to the front lines. City Lords must be in the Foundation Establishment stage to take over. Lin Yang, your Lin family's legacy will come to an end with your generation. You are the sinner of the Lin family. Tsk tsk... How pathetic... Haha..."
Uncle Liang narrowed his eyes and stepped forward. Zhao Ning's guards also took a step forward, confronting each other, as if a fight was about to break out. However, both of them were cautious and did not take action.
"Uncle Liang, let's go."
Looking at Lin Yang and Liang Yu leaving, Zhao Ning snorted coldly.
"Let's see how long you can be so arrogant. Guigu City will sooner or later become our family's property. Sun Yuan, let's go."
"Yes, Master."
Returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he looked at the empty huge mansion and thought about the bustling Guigu Lin family many years ago. Now, only the two of them, father and son, were left.
During the demonic disaster, many of their clansmen in the Qi-training and Foundation-building stages tragically sacrificed their lives to rescue ordinary people entering Ghost Valley. Later, responding to the call of the Cultivation Alliance, those in the Golden Core stage served on the border. One by one, these Golden Core-level clansmen, along with their children, left Ghost Valley. Only this group remained to hold fast to Ghost Valley, their ancestral land.
"Lin Yang, I'm back."
"Yes, father!"
"How was your walk around the patrol area? Did you encounter any danger?"
"No, father, I'm going back to rest first."
"Lin Yang, don't be too stressed. If you don't advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will have other Foundation Establishment stage masters in the family return. Your third brother and the others have all advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and any one of them can come back to take over our ancestral heritage. Our Guigu Lin family's ancestral land will not be lost because of you."
"I understand. I'm going down."
Looking at Lin Yang's back, Lin Fan did not ask about his disappearance for a while, but shook his head and said
"Lin Yang is really too strong."
…
Lin Yang returned to the courtyard where he lived and slammed the table in dissatisfaction.
Yes, Guigu City will indeed not be occupied by the Zhao family as Zhao Ning expected, because they simply do not understand how powerful the Guigu Lin family is.
