When Lin Haoming returned to Black Mountain City, he was greeted by Xiao Yu, who became the new county governor.
Lin Haoming had not spent much time dealing with Xiao Yu before, and had always regarded him as a relatively low-key integration-stage monk. But from the news brought back by Han Xu, Lin Haoming knew that Xiao Yu was also a man with strong means.
After taking action against Yan Yuzhang, almost all of Yan Yuzhang's people died in Xiao Yu's hands. Xiao Yu showed no mercy to these people. Even if there were several people before, or even if they were closely related, he would still kill them. Dozens of monks above the Void Refining stage alone were killed in just a few days, and the number of people implicated in this crime totaled up to tens of thousands.
At this moment, Lin Haoming felt some inexplicable strange feelings when facing the new county magistrate who was looking at him with a smile.
"Lin Dutong, you are finally back. I heard that you fought against Zhu Xueheng and killed him who was close to the integration stage after using the secret technique. It's really incredible!"
"This is just rumors. Lin happened to have a way to restrain his secret technique. After he used it, I broke the secret technique and the technique backfired. If it was really one-on-one, Lin might not be his opponent!" Lin Haoming listened. Explain naturally and modestly.
Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled: "It's your ability to break his secret method. Why should Lin Dutong be modest?"
When Lin Haoming saw that he thought so, he simply did not defend himself. Instead, he turned to him and said, "Hasn't Mr. Lin congratulated Mr. Xiao on becoming the county governor?"
"Haha, county guard, Lin Dutong, you just have to do it. Yan Yuzhang was the county guard like me now. To be honest, it is not easy to be the county guard. Xiao can only do his best to fulfill his duties and avoid Make the same mistake again!" Xiao Yu seemed to sigh with emotion.
Lin Haoming was a little dazed after hearing this, but soon he seemed to understand. When Xiao Yu said this to himself, he probably also intended to use his own words to tell His Majesty the Demon Emperor that he would be more loyal than Yan Yuzhang, but Lin Haoming couldn't help it at the moment. Smiling secretly, I am afraid that Xiao Yu made a mistake in his calculation, and he will not say anything to the Demon Emperor.
From Xiao Yu's mouth, Lin Haoming learned a lot more details. It turned out that at Xiao Yu's banquet that day, Lin Waner joined forces with the Nine Surnames Alliance and Xiao Yu. A total of five monks in the integration stage took action at the same time. Later, the remaining Nine Surnames Alliance The monks in the integration stage also joined forces to deal with Yan Yuzhang, but unexpectedly, Yan Yuzhang actually practiced disintegration and let his Nascent Soul escape. Xiao Yu knew that Yan Yuzhang had a clone hidden somewhere, and it was also a body in the integration stage. It would take at most two to three hundred years for the clone to be completely integrated. By then, he would have changed his appearance, but it would be difficult to deal with.
Lin Haoming also knew that Xiao Yu was also worried that Yan Yuzhang would attack him. After all, he was the one who really betrayed him. In terms of enemies, he was definitely the number one, and Cao Yuzhou, the number two, was too strong. I can't deal with him either, so I'm afraid I'll have to deal with enemy No. 3 Lin Haoming.
In this case, it was naturally necessary for Xiao Yu and Lin Haoming to join forces to threaten and kill him first, but even Xiao Yu didn't know where Yan Yuzhang's clone was, so Lin Haoming naturally had no choice.
Lin Wanrou is not in Black Mountain City now. At this time, she and her people are already looking for Yan Yuzhang. For her, Yan Yuzhang's escape will bear a lot of responsibility, and she naturally hopes that it can be solved. But obviously, Xiao Jade is not optimistic about this, otherwise she would not be so worried.
In fact, things went as Xiao Yu expected. Three full months later, Lin Wanrou came to Black Mountain City and Lin Haoming met with Xiao Yu. Naturally, she found nothing, and she really had no time to stay. We can only take people back to recover.
After another month of isolation, Lin Haoming also received the Demon Emperor's order, allowing him to stay in Heishan County and stabilize the situation here. After all, something happened to the governor of a county, which caused the entire Heishan County to be injured.
Yan Yuzhang himself has now completely become the scapegoat for the murder of the Vine Demon Clan envoy, and the pear flower has personally come forward to identify Yan Yuzhang as the one who secretly did it. The outside world also believes this, otherwise how could a monk in the Void Refining Stage possibly be able to do so? He was killed silently.
As the scapegoat, Yan Yuzhang, the county governor, was enough to explain to the Vine Demon Clan. Even the Vine Demon Clan was a little surprised by this, but they were naturally very satisfied with the result.
During this period of time, Lin Haoming did not want to be in seclusion. He personally took charge of Ivory City to avoid accidents.
On the first anniversary of Yan Yuzhang's incident, the trusted Jun Cheng arrived in Heishan County.
When the newly appointed county magistrate came, Lin Haoming was shocked, because this person was none other than Cang Xi, the young city lord back then.
It turns out that Cang Xi successfully attacked and merged more than a hundred years ago. Now, after a hundred years of accumulation, her cultivation has been completely consolidated.
As a monk in the integration stage, although they are both relatives of the emperor, it would be somewhat uncomfortable for the father and son to be in the same city together. Therefore, after some power compromise, the young city lord came here. , became the county magistrate of Heishan County.
When receiving the wind, Lin Haoming looked at the young city lord who was more calm than before, and felt a little unspeakable. However, he was also a guest of Heishan County. Although they were all acquaintances, he didn't say much at the banquet, but Cang Xi secretly He indicated that he would have the opportunity to chat with Lin Haoming alone.
Lin Haoming had been waiting for this opportunity alone, and finally got it when he came to Ivory City for inspection more than a month after Cang Xi arrived.
Lin Haoming also understood what Cang Xi meant by coming to Ivory City. In addition to patrolling, he also wanted to meet him. After all, he had to make more preparations when he first arrived.
Lin Haoming also made a lot of preparations for this, and even personally bought two kinds of good wine in Ivory City, one of which was purchased from the Vine Demon Clan.
During the meeting between the two, Lin Haoming pretended to take Cang Xi around the city. It turned out that the lord of Ivory City had been killed by Xiao Yu because he belonged to Yan Yuzhang, so for the time being, Lin Haoming was considered the owner of Ivory City.
After pretentiously inspecting the city, Lin Haoming took him back to the original city lord's mansion. Although he was in the city, no one else was present. This was something the two of them understood.
Although the inner hall of the city lord's mansion is not considered secretive, after Lin Haoming has set up the prohibition circle, unless he is a Mahayana monk, it is impossible to eavesdrop without being discovered.
Cang Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the good wine and food prepared by Lin Haoming: "Lin Dutong, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for many years. Compared to the past, you are much richer. That's the Vine Demon Clan." The Green Leaf Bar? There are no less than three thousand real magic beads in this jar!" To be continued.
