Jiangcheng.
There was a bustling flow of people, all queuing up to enter the city.
Jiangcheng is the largest city with a radius of thousands of miles and is located at a transportation hub. It is surrounded by plains on three sides and faces the river on one side, so it is natural that pedestrians come and go.
Willow branches on the moon,
Make an appointment after dusk.
The dim setting sun hangs in the west and complements the rising moon in the east.
A young man walked into Dongchengkou. He had a handsome face and an outstanding temperament. He was wearing a light-colored Taoist robe and was walking casually.
This young man is Lin Chen.
Lin Chen walked into the city and looked around. He saw people all around, and the carriages and horses were like dragons. It was really very prosperous.
The lanterns exuding fire, the snacks with strong fragrance, the sudden laughter, the crowds of people bumping into each other, the children who don’t know their sorrow, the couples who are busy making a living, the old people who laugh while listening to music...
All of this seems to form a picture of fireworks in the world of mortals, which looks so intoxicating under the beautiful moonlight.
Even Lin Chen couldn't help but be a little obsessed with this scene.
The days on the mountain were cold, and he was always alone. How many times could he hear such a lively night scene?
After a long time, he came back to his senses and smiled to himself: "After all, the ordinary heart is still there."
Then he took a step forward and disappeared into the crowd.
As time passed, Lin Chen arrived at his destination.
This place is very cold and there are very few people coming and going.
Not far from Lin Chen, there is a blue-tiled Chinese courtyard. In front of the door are two stone swans, roaring as proud as life. The brick wall surrounds the courtyard, which is hundreds of feet wide. Extremely rich and prosperous in the world.
There is a spacious river between it and the road. The gurgling water separates the two banks, making it look like a city within a city.
However, according to Lin Chen's spiritual sense, the strength of the spiritual light array there was average, and even the several servant boys standing guard nearby were not even in the Qi refining stage, but were just innate stage warriors.
Although there are still more than ten monks hidden in the house for defense, most of them are not high in cultivation, and there is only one in the late stage of Qi refining.
And this is where the Lin family is located!
There are spiritual veins underground in Jiangcheng, and the three ports from which spiritual energy flows out the most abundantly have become the main residences of the three major families in Jiangcheng!
Looking at the huge house in front of him, Lin Chen's eyes flashed. He did not walk straight over, but deliberately walked around the house to observe the nearby terrain.
He hasn't been back for ten years, and he still doesn't know what has changed around the house. It would be funny if something unexpected happened and a strategic retreat was needed, and he didn't even know the way!
'Except for the Lin family, there is no formation intervention nearby. Perhaps the earth escape talisman can be used; this is a visual blind spot, and perhaps we can use this position to counterattack... Hmm, do you want to do something nearby to make it easier... hmm? ! '
After Lin Chen walked for a while, constantly analyzing the nearby terrain, his eyes suddenly froze, he glanced back inadvertently, and then walked towards a corner calmly.
Not long after he turned the corner, two figures quickly appeared at the original position and followed him.
Then when they turned the corner, they realized there was no one in front of them.
"Huh? Lost me?!" The two of them paused.
"What should I do?" One of the tall and thin people turned sideways and asked the person shorter than him.
Judging from his tone, I felt that he should be the one occupying the higher position among the two.
"It doesn't matter, we just need to make sure someone comes to the Lin family." The short man said calmly, without any trace of annoyance.
"No, captain, are we going to let them in like this? Isn't this an increase in variables?" the tall and thin man asked with some doubts.
"We can't stop them from entering, nor can we completely destroy the Lin family, we can only let them decline." Some short people replied, and then glanced at the people next to them, "Come on, stop talking nonsense and keep watching! "
Soon, the two left.
As soon as they left, Lin Chen stepped out in one step.
In fact, he had been beside these two people, but they subconsciously ignored it.
After the birth of his spiritual sense, he also achieved a breakthrough in his invisibility, and could achieve invisibility in a psychological sense. Unless his soul far surpassed his, it would be easy to subconsciously ignore him.
"The people monitoring the Lin family seem to be from the other two major families..." Lin Chen's eyes flashed.
'Let the Lin family decline. It seems that they are going to target the remaining foundation-building monks of the Lin family. Lin Chen looked at the direction they left, thoughtfully.
The large and small forces under the Qingyun Sect are more or less related to the Qingyun Sect.
If those disciples who join the sect become more developed, they will more or less feed back to their original power and then become connected with each other. Therefore, if they want to fight and kill everyone, they will definitely be stopped by the Qingyun Sect.
Therefore, the battle between different forces usually involves getting rid of the strongest person and a group of outstanding people of the other party, and then the remaining people either marry or let them die unexpectedly, etc., so as to completely plunder the other party's resources. .
Of course, in fact, the latter is not much different from the former in essence, but the latter did it more covertly and did not destroy the family on the surface. It gave the Qingyun Sect enough face, so it will not be held accountable.
As for the disciples who joined the sect from small forces, will they take revenge and go back?
Those disciples who entered the sect from small forces were either peerless geniuses, or they were abandoned and used as recruitment indicators for Qingyun Sect.
The former people will naturally not take action, and the latter people will not talk about how much feelings they have towards the original force, nor whether they have the ability to retaliate.
Immortal cultivators have always been selfish. Do you think they would fight against a large foundation-building force for the sake of a group of dead people?
'So it seems like I'm relatively safe? After all, I am also an inner disciple. If I am killed here, how could Qingyun Sect not pursue it to the end? '
Lin Chen was thoughtful, but continued to check along the road.
After all, don't be afraid of anything, just be afraid of ten thousand. It would be too stupid to put your life on other people's fear of the power behind you.
Soon, it was midnight, and Lin Chen appeared at the intersection again.
'I have already inspected the nearby locations. Walking from the west can get out of the city the fastest and is closest to my trap. Walking from the east is the junction of the three major forces, which can trigger a melee. Take the opportunity to escape. Walking from the north is not far away. It's not close, but as soon as you leave the city, you can go straight to the river and go down the river, a hundred miles in a night...'
'And just now I went to the nearby area to inquire about the news. The battle between the Lin family and the two major forces has reached a fever pitch, and the competition has been scheduled for three days...'
After collecting the information, Lin Chen turned around and left, finding an inn to stay at.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, when the east was white and the sky was filled with morning glow, Lin Chen set off directly and arrived at the place where the Lin family was.
'It's time to inherit the family fortune...'
Lin Chen thought this in his mind, and then strode towards the door of the house.
