Many martial artists have been wandering in the Qi Cultivation Realm all their lives, and being able to enter the Qi Refining Realm is already considered talented, and Wen Qicheng has only been practicing martial arts for about a month, and he has actually practiced to the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

In Li Lin's words, if Lao Wen is fifty years younger, he will definitely be the protagonist of a novel.

However, Wen Qicheng's soaring progress has stopped at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and further up, it is the Huayuan Realm, the martial artists of this realm are comparable to the Great Confucian, and it will undoubtedly take a long time to accumulate and opportunity to promote to the Huayuan Realm, even if Lao Wen's talent is strong, it is impossible to break through in a short time.

But the peak of the Qi Refining Realm can shake the writer under the Great Confucian, and Wen Qicheng's current strength is no longer inferior to the four-star writer, so the writer of the Tiangu Academy who attacked Li Lin along the way was blocked by Lao Wen alone!

Hongsang City, the most central city in the territory of Hongsang Academy, although he has only been away from here for more than a month, Li Lin still has a feeling that he has not been seen for a long time.

There was no snow this morning, but the air was still slightly chilly, and the pedestrians on the street were visibly thicker.

Li Lin was not in a hurry to return to Hongsang Academy, but first took Wen Qicheng and found a restaurant in Hongsang City to rest.

Although Wen Qicheng is a Taoist priest, he is not ambiguous at all when he eats meat, and he is not surprised at all when he sees that he eats big fish and meat, and Li Lin is not surprised at all when he sees it.

It is said that the most important thing for a martial artist is the strength of the body, if there is no big fish and big meat to support, the average person would have already practiced the body, so if you want to succeed in martial arts, you can't really practice without a certain economic strength.

Of course, Wen Qicheng paid for all the food out of his own pocket, according to this old guy's own account, he has relied on his superficial Taoist skills to solve disasters for others over the years, and he has actually made a lot of money.

Li Lin didn't know how much money he had, but he had quietly branded Wen Qicheng's face as a charlatan.

Although the old guy's martial arts are good, his Taoist skills are only the most shallow, otherwise he would have taken away that demon in Xiaozhang Village a long time ago.

"Hey, it is said that Lord Murong has been missing for more than ten days, do you think he will ......?"

"Shhhh

At this moment, the people at the next table whispered a talk, but suddenly stopped, and the two looked around cautiously, and then they stood up in unison, walked to the counter to settle the bill, and left the restaurant.

The two of them spoke in a very small voice, but Li Lin was such a character, his spiritual power was as vast as the sea, and he had already heard their conversation clearly.

"Teacher Murong ...... Missing?" Li Lin frowned, there seemed to be only one person who could be called Lord Murong in Hongsang City.

But, he has been missing for more than ten days?

Could it be, the hand of Tiangu Academy?

Quite possibly.

However, Li Lin didn't believe that Murong Mo would suffer miserably, that guy was deeply hidden, and his strength was even comparable to that of a great Confucian, even if the Great Confucian of the Shuling Soldiers sniped him, even if he was defeated, he would at least be able to retreat.

Therefore, something should have happened that made Murong Mo unable to come back for a while.

"Interesting...... Li Lin smiled slightly, raised his hand and beckoned the shopkeeper over.

"Guest officer, what's the matter?" said the shopkeeper with a signature smile on his face, rubbing his hands and flatteringly.

"Tell me about the big things that happened to Hongsang Academy these days. Li Lin popped out a few pieces of broken gold and said lightly.

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, but as soon as he saw those pieces of broken gold, he immediately took them into his arms and said with a flattering smile: "Uncle, what I know must be endless!"

。。。

After a cup of tea, Li Lin sent the shopkeeper away and began to ponder.

Sure enough, there was a drastic change in Red Mulberry City.

The most important change is that the power structure of Red Mulberry City has changed dramatically.

Red Mulberry City and Red Mulberry Academy seem to be one, but in fact, there are many factions fighting, and in Red Mulberry City, it can be roughly divided into three parts.

One is the Sanghong family, an ancient family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and many elders in its family are big names who have written books, which should not be underestimated.

The second is the City Lord's Mansion, originally the Hongsang City Lord's Mansion was under the jurisdiction of the Sang Hong family, but since Shen Xinglin, the city lord with a foreign surname, took office, the City Lord's Mansion has actually been separated from the Sang Hong family.

The third is the Hongsang Academy, seriously speaking, the internal struggle of the Hongsang Academy can be said to be the most serious, and it is those high-level people who control the academy, some of the high-level of these academies are from the Sanghong family, some are from the city lord's mansion, and some are from some famous families in Hongsang City.

In general, there is not a harmonious faction within Hongsang City, but the old dean of Hongsang is still alive in the world, so Hongsang City can maintain the stability on the surface and not fight out of control.

Speaking of the old dean Hongsang, it is a big man of the same generation as the old dean of Chenghu, and it is said that he has touched the threshold of six stars, and his strength is unfathomable.

Because of such an almost invincible big man in charge, Hongsang Academy was able to stand as one of the five major academies without falling, and it was able to maintain stability for so many years.

It's just that this apparent stability was disrupted after Murong Mo's disappearance.

Murong Mo is the golden sign of Hongsang Academy, although his usual style is maverick and flattering, everyone has to admit that if Murong Mo really has any accidents, this will be a major blow to Hongsang Academy.

Originally, everyone was just worried about it, after all, Murong Mo's strength was not weak, and it was not easy for him to suffer, but there were those who liked to take the opportunity to spread rumors.

People who fish in troubled waters abound.

Muddy the situation makes it easier for some people to do something.

As a result, some inexplicable rumors came out, such as that Murong Mo was assassinated, so there is no news so far.

This rumor seems weak, but in this tense period, it can't resist any fanning the flames.

The rumors became more and more ferocious, and later, they even pointed the finger at the city lord's mansion.

In fact, the Sang Hong family has long had an idea about the City Lord's Mansion, but because of the strong strength of the City Lord Shen Xinglin, and the fact that some of the elders of the City Lord's Mansion are not simple, the two sides can be at peace.

Now, rumors point to the City Lord's Mansion, and some people say that it was the City Lord's Mansion that set up a bureau to assassinate Murong Mo, in order to completely mess up the Red Mulberry Academy, so that the people of the City Lord's Mansion could further control the Red Sang Academy.

The rumors are terrible, and the rumors are the most terrible, and it has only been a few days, and some people have talked about it conclusively, and for a while, the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion has become the focus of attention of all parties in Hongsang City.

It's just that the city lord Shen Xinglin never responded.

Seeing this, some people thought that the city lord's mansion was weak-hearted, so they didn't dare to respond.

Gradually, the crusade against the City Lord's Mansion gradually rose, and there was a tendency to become more and more ferocious.

But Shen Xinglin still did not come forward.

Secretly, there is no shortage of people from the Sang Hong family who are secretly fueling the troubles, the silence of the City Lord's Mansion, and the non-statement of the Red Sang Academy, all make this rumor more and more like the truth.

Finally, the conflict broke out.

Some elders of the Sang Hong family saw that the time had come, and they besieged the City Lord's Mansion, although the City Lord's Mansion also had masters in charge, but they could not withstand the attack of the Sang Hong family's profound heritage, and in less than a day, the City Lord's Mansion was completely controlled by the Sang Hong family.

This change completely shocked the entire Red Mulberry City, making the Red Mulberry City maintain a tense atmosphere to this day.

From beginning to end, Hongsang Academy did not intervene, and the dean, Sang Hongyun, did not make any response, as if he was indifferent.

As a result, the City Lord's Mansion, which had been controlled by the Shen family for nearly ten years, is now back in the control of the Sang Hong family again.

But the matter is not over yet, because in the conflict between the City Lord's Mansion and the Sang Hong family, Shen Xinglin is still nowhere to be seen, otherwise the Sang Hong family will have to pay a more tragic price if they want to take the City Lord's Mansion.

The people of the Sang Hong family searched the entire City Lord's Mansion, and the secret passages and secret rooms were explored, but they still did not find Shen Xinglin.

In other words, the city lord Shen Xinglin is also missing.

No one knew where he went, but the people of the Sang Hong family didn't dare to be careless, who knew when Shen Xinglin would come back, so the City Lord's Mansion was still on high alert.

"No wonder, I've always thought the atmosphere was weird, it turned out that such a big thing had happened. Li Lin poured himself a cup of tea and sighed leisurely.
