Lin Yan said goodbye to Mei Jiangxue and saw that it was getting late. He thought that if he wanted to rush back to Liuxi Village before dark and tell the villagers that Cao Sanshui had abandoned the brick kiln and converted it into an orchard, he would have to take a shortcut.
Fortunately, Lin Yan had traveled back and forth between Xiaoshui City and Qingyang Town enough times to know that there happened to be a mountain road that could shorten the journey by nearly one-third. Although it was a bit remote and even infested with wild animals, he had reached the point where
Having reached the eighth level of the Xiantian realm, I am not afraid.
After bypassing the bustling streets, Lin Yan left the city through the back streets and started walking into the mountains along a dirt road.
The mountain road is very narrow. It was made by woodcutter and hunters. It is covered with shrubs on both sides. It winds all the way to Liuxi Mountain. After climbing over Liuxi Mountain, you can reach Liuxi Village down the mountain.
Lin Yan almost ran all the way and met several wild dogs and wolves along the way. After easily scaring them away, he finally reached the foot of Liuxi Mountain after half an hour.
Liuxi Mountain is very wide, like a crouching dragon, with continuous ups and downs, and at the foot of the mountain is a large flat mountainous area. At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the sunset glow appears in the sky, illuminating the mountainous area in orange-red color.
But despite such a beautiful scenery, Lin Yan felt uncomfortable because the smell of blood came from the breeze!
A sika deer that had apparently just died was lying on the mountain ground twenty meters away. Next to the sika deer's body stood a young man about his age wearing a white plain shirt.
The meat of the sika deer was torn vigorously by a row of sharp teeth, bringing out large strings of blood beads and sending them into a bloody mouth.
An ugly large lizard squatted half-crouched with its stubby limbs lying on the ground, eating frantically.
The sika deer had just died, its blood was warm and its meat was fresh and tender, just in line with the appetite of this big lizard.
However, Lin Yan knew that this hill-like long-tailed reptile with blue scales, eight meters long, was actually a violent beast named Velociraptor.
Dragons are very mysterious but extremely powerful super species in the martial arts world. They have their own place of residence and generally do not appear in cities where humans live in the martial arts world, but this only refers to real dragons.
More ferocious spiritual beasts that are called "dragons" come from the side lines of dragons and actually belong to subspecies of dragons. In fact, except for the "dragon" in their names, they are already different from real dragons.
One hundred and eight thousand miles.
If people didn't know the name of the velociraptor in front of them, they would just think of it as a large lizard.
But even so, the strength of the velociraptor is far greater than that of ordinary beasts such as tigers and lions. When they reach adulthood, the velociraptor generally has the strength of the third level of transformation to the mortal realm or above!
Such strength was used as a mount by the young man next to him. It is conceivable that the strength and background of the man in white are definitely not comparable to that of ordinary warriors.
Moreover, it seems that all the velociraptors in the martial arts world come from the same place.
A place called Tiandi City.
After recognizing Xunlong, Lin Yan became confused.
Because Tiandi City has always had a transcendent status, it would not easily send people out of the city to contact outsiders. But now, a powerful young man rode a dragon and traveled thousands of miles to Xiaoshui City, the southernmost part of the martial world. This thing is weird.
.
"Hey, do you know where the Qingwu Gate in Xiaoshui City is?"
At this moment, the somewhat blurry white figure spoke out and handed over a not-so-pleasant question from a distance. Immediately, the white figure suddenly started to move, with a flexible and light body, connecting dots on the grass like a dragonfly on water.
After a few moments, the person stood next to Lin Yan.
"I want to ask you something, is this Xiaoshui City?" The young man thought that Lin Yan had not heard his question just now, so he asked again.
This is a young man who can be said to have no characteristics at all. With a combination of facial features and a fairly tall and strong body, it is difficult for others to associate words such as "suave" or "heroic" with him.
Only when this young man speaks, will the arrogance that is deeply ingrained in his bones be revealed, and along with this arrogance, there is also a fierce temperament.
Master, absolute master!
Facing this person, any warrior with some knowledge will make this judgment subconsciously.
And Lin Yan had already understood the terrifying strength of the opponent from the fact that Xunlong was this person's mount.
But when the opponent made a few light leaps and landed next to him, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel shocked!
When he saw the other party's appearance and the small maroon token hanging at the hem of his white gown, his heart trembled suddenly!
But Lin Yan managed to control his emotions very quickly, with a calm face, and replied: "It's Xiaoshui City. Did you come from far away and got lost?"
Lin Yan followed the other party's wishes and prepared to make some excuses.
"get lost?"
The young man seemed to be very amused by this word, but he still patiently pointed to the Velociraptor not far away and was eating venison crazily and explained: "That guy is suitable for walking in the mountains and forests, and I didn't want to attract attention, so I went all the way over the mountains and ridges.
Here. Since this is Xiaoshui City, and you are also a warrior, you must have heard of the Qingwu Sect, right?"
"What are you doing with the Qingwu Sect?" Lin Yan asked warily.
"You only need to tell me how to get to Qingwumen, and don't ask any more questions."
The young man was a little disgusted. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the wilderness and only met such a person who could ask for directions, he wouldn't be too lazy to waste time with him.
"You don't look like a bad person. I am an outer disciple of Qingwu Sect. Naturally, I don't allow anyone to do harm to our sect."
The "new identity" that Lin Yan found for himself obviously reasonably explains why he is a warrior, and also explains why he asked cautiously just now.
The young man suddenly understood and said with a smile: "So you are from the Qingwu Sect, no wonder." In his words, he did not take Lin Yan's identity as an outer disciple of the Qingwu Sect into consideration at all.
Knowing that no matter how clichéd he was, it would be impossible to find out the other party's true intention of coming to Xiaoshui City to find the Qingwu Clan, Lin Yan decided to end this unexpected meeting.
"Did you see it? If you go straight ahead on this mountain road from here, you will see a lake. There is only one road around the lake. You can quickly reach the market along that road. It will be convenient to ask about it when you get there. Qing
Wumen is not far from the market."
"Thank you."
The young man had no expression on his face and turned to leave.
"By the way, is the Qingwu Sect really the largest sect in Xiaoshui City?" When leaving, the young man turned around and asked.
"Of course, our Qingwu Sect has stood firm in the martial arts world for a hundred years and is naturally the largest sect in Xiaoshui City." Lin Yan suddenly elevated the Qingwu Sect, which he had no contact with at all, to the sky.
"Well, that's good. There are outer disciples even in such a remote place." The young man smiled slightly and left.
As we all know, the bigger the sect, the higher the standards for selecting disciples. At the same time, big sects pay more attention to appearance. Among the big sects, even the outer disciples will not be so shabby as to look like a country boy. For young people,
It's just ridicule.
Soon, the proud young man completely forgot about this "outer disciple" and only remembered the route to Qingwu Sect in his mind.
"This Qingwu Sect doesn't seem to be very powerful. I really don't understand why the family leader sent me to Qingwu Sect to inform him about the matter, and also asked me to discuss it with my peers in this sect. I hope that by then the Qingwu Sect will
It would be nice to have one or two decent opponents."
The young man muttered, sat on the back of the Velociraptor, and soon disappeared into the mountains.
Lin Yan glanced at the fragmented deer carcass not far away, but his thoughts were already overwhelming!
Tiandi City is located in the northern part of Wujie. Unlike other cities, there is no official government in Tiandi City. Those who govern and govern the city are several major families in the city.
Naturally, there are conflicts and strife among the aristocratic families, but externally, they have always been surprisingly consistent: other cities are not allowed to interfere or enter Tiandi City at will. At the same time, Tiandi City also has a transcendent existence and is too lazy to get involved with any forces in other cities.
connect.
The reason for not allowing interference is that several major families want to protect their interests, and they never take a serious look at other cities. This is because the strength of Tiandi City itself is strong enough, so strong that even if other forces in the martial world unite, they are completely unaware.
To the point of fear!
Fortunately, for some reasons, Tiandi City itself will not annex other cities. In name, it is still one of the hundred cities in the martial world, but in fact, it has always been a giant, standing on the shoulders of other cities.
The giant above.
With absolute force displayed there, Tiandi City has become a holy place in the minds of warriors. But for such a holy place that rarely has anything to do with external forces, why would they send people to Qingwu Sect now?
What's even more coincidental is that the person sent actually came from the Lin family in Tiandi City!
This person may have forgotten Lin Yan, but Lin Yan recognized this person as Lin Zhilan, his cousin!
"Hmph, probably the Lin family thought I was dead, killed in the pursuit ten years ago." Lin Yan said coldly, with an extreme coldness exuding from his body.
Even his cousin Lin Zhilan, whom he has known since childhood, has forgotten him. Who else will remember his true identity that day?
I remember that I was once the young master of the Lin family, one of the noble families in Tiandi City!
Ten years ago, dozens of masters from several major families in Tiandi City died suddenly and mysteriously on the Snowy Fantasy Plateau. However, after some ridiculous investigations, the heads of several major families suddenly insisted that their mother was actually the murderer and was responsible for triggering the tragedy in Tiandi City.
The "culprit" of the turmoil!
What the then seven-year-old self couldn't figure out was that his father, the head of the Lin family, actually acquiesced in this matter and sent out experts to strangle his mother that night, even himself!
Mother took her loyal Butler Xin with her and fought all the way to break the blockade of the family masters, causing a bloody night in the Lin family. Then, in order to protect herself and Butler Xin from escaping Tiandi City, mother fought against them all alone with a sword.
The pursuer lost the news.
And he only escaped after Butler Xin paid the price with his life and killed a hundred cold-blooded cavalry who were chasing him!
One hundred cold-blooded cavalry, belonging to the Lin family, only obeyed the orders of the head of the Lin family. There was no doubt that his father had given him the order to kill him on that bloody night!
The Lin family was the Lin family that gave birth to him and raised him, the Lin family that all the servants in the Lin family respectfully called him "Young Master", but it was also the Lin family that sent people to hunt down him and his mother during the bloody night ten years ago!
The person who issued the order to kill was his former father!
It’s just that this father is only the past!
After the night of bloodshed in the Lin family, he told himself in his heart that he had no father, only his missing mother!
