......

Lin Huang got up and got out of bed, then opened the door and walked out of the room.

Lin Huang stood in the courtyard, looked around, and did not see half a figure, and then, with a flash of figure, he left the courtyard.

Along the way, Lin Huang safely avoided the broken eighth-level spirit arrays in the back mountain of the merchant according to the walking route in his memory, and after a few minutes, he walked out of the back mountain of the merchant and came to the core area of the merchant mansion.

Lin Huang's mind moved, and the power of his divine sense exploded, like ripples, spreading out towards the surroundings, enveloping the entire merchant mansion.

A few seconds later, Lin Huang found the location where Shang Bingjie was, and he was surprised to find that Shang Bingjie seemed to be in trouble again, and his figure flashed, and he quickly swept in that direction.

......

In the middle of the merchant's mansion, the House of Elders

Since all the high-level leaders of the merchants have fallen, the power of the merchants in the Tianbao Pavilion has plummeted, and they are no longer the same merchants as before.

There is only one strong man in the Martial King Realm left, that is, Shang Bingjie's mother, the sister of the head of the Mu family, Mu Rou, and the triple peak cultivation of the Martial King Realm.

The Mu family ranks fourth among the twelve families of Tianbao Pavilion, second only to the three major families of Shang, Shen and Luo.

In addition to Mu Rou, there are hundreds of Heavenly Spirit Realm masters left in the merchants, and Shang Shen, the ancestor of the merchants, secretly kept a hand and hid these Heavenly Spirit Realm masters, preserving some strength for the merchants.

The current merchants are almost only the strength of the Xie family in the Qianwu Imperial City, and among the hundreds of families in the Tianbao Pavilion, they can only be regarded as the midstream level, and they are no longer worthy of having those ten elder seats, let alone being ranked as one of the 'twelve families of the Tianbao Pavilion'!

Two months ago, after Shen Tianfeng, the head of the Shen family, took over as the head of the Tianbao Pavilion, he immediately sent someone to pass on a message to those families in the Tianbao Pavilion - "Shang Bingjie has been accepted as a disciple by Lin Huang, if she loses a hair, she will bear the consequences!"

Shen Tianfeng's words startled those families who were about to move, and they quickly suppressed the greed in their hearts and showed favor to the merchants.

Although the merchant has existed in name only, the deterrent power of Lin Huang alone far exceeds that of the merchant in his heyday, with that evil star sitting in the merchant, who would dare to go to the trouble of the merchant and Shang Bingjie?

However, as time passed, two months passed, and Lin Huang never showed up, a phenomenon that made those families ecstatic.

They all thought that Lin Huang had already left the merchants, and even left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, which made those families start to stir again.

Shang Bingjie, who is the eldest lady of the merchant, took over the position of the head of the merchant family two months ago.

Although many people in the merchant strongly opposed, with the support of her mother Mu Rou, and Shang Bingjie held the most important two-sided token of the merchant, she easily suppressed the opposition voices in the clan and became the new head of the merchant.

Shang Bingjie sat on the main seat in the hall of the Elders' House, condescending, looking down at everyone, at this time she was no longer Shang Bingjie two months ago.

Shang Bingjie was dressed in black, her face was expressionless, her beautiful eyes showed indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, her eyes were like knives, sharp and cold.

The woman in white sitting on the right side of Shang Bingjie was her mother Mu Rou, who looked about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with delicate facial features and fair skin like snow, Shang Bingjie looked seven or eight points similar to her.

However, her temperament is completely different from Shang Bingjie's, Shang Bingjie's temperament is cold and cold, while her temperament is dignified and elegant.

On the seats around the House of Elders, there were hundreds of figures, each of which was a high-level Heavenly Spirit Realm master and an elder of the merchant.

Due to the fact that all the high-level leaders of the merchant were killed, there was only one Martial King Realm powerhouse left in the merchant, and the merchant could not do without many elders performing their duties to maintain the normal operation of the merchant, so they had to let those high-level Heavenly Spirit Realm masters take over the position of elders.

In the hall of the House of Elders, in addition to the merchant's own people, there was also a group of uninvited guests.

A middle-aged man at the head was wearing a purple robe, looking to be about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and his body exuded an extremely powerful spiritual yuan fluctuation, showing that this person's cultivation was as high as the sixth level of the Martial King Realm.

This middle-aged man in a purple robe is Mu Han, the head of the Mu family, who is Mu Rou's half-brother and Shang Bingjie's uncle.

Standing on Mu Han's left side was a handsome and dashing man in white, who looked to be about twenty years old, and the spiritual yuan fluctuations emanating from his body showed that this person's cultivation had reached the level of the earth's spiritual realm.

This young man in white is the only son of Mu Han, the head of the Mu family, the eldest young master of the Mu family, Mu Yang, and Shang Bingjie's cousin.

In addition, there are twelve figures standing behind Mu Han, the cultivation of these people is uneven, four of them are genuine martial king realm powerhouses, and the remaining eight people are only cultivated in the earth spirit realm, obviously, they are just the servants of the Mu family.

On the side of the Mu family, there were rows of square-shaped boxes tied with red cloth strips, and a large number of high-grade elixirs and rare treasures were placed inside, obviously, these things were ...... Dowry!

"Bing'er, how are you thinking about it? Mu Yang, this kid has a deep affection for you, as long as you agree to this family business, your uncle will definitely do his best to help you, keep those elder seats, and within three hundred years, the merchant can recover and become one of the dominant families of our Tianbao Pavilion again!" Mu Han said with a bitter mouth.

On the Lingwu Continent, there are only restrictions on brothers and sisters or sisters who cannot get married, and cousins like Shang Bingjie and Mu Yang, who are quite close in blood, can still get married, and there is no limit.

"No!" Shang Bingjie replied. Her tone was categorical, there was no room for negotiation at all, and she didn't save Mu Han so much face for him because he was her own uncle.

Shang Bingjie could naturally see that Mu Han only valued the thousands of years of accumulation of their merchants, and the ten elder seats, family affection? He Mu Han was notoriously ruthless, how could he care about family affection? Family affection was worthless in his eyes!

In fact, Mu Han, the head of the Mu family, is also a younger brother of the same father and mother, named 'Mu Bai'.

Mu Han's younger brother, Mu Bai, is a peerless genius who is famous in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, and even the younger generation of the Shen family and merchants have no one to compete with him.

A hundred years ago, Mu Han got a piece of gossip through a special channel, saying that the previous head of the Mu family, that is, Mu Han's biological father Mu Lei, intended to pass on the position of the head of the Mu family to Mu Bai.

Although Mu Han's age was dozens of years older than Mu Bai, his cultivation talent was far inferior to Mu Bai, so at that time, Mu Han and Mu Bai's cultivation were similar, and they had just broken through the Martial King Realm.

In order to get the position of the head of the Mu family, Mu Han sent someone to capture Mu Bai's four-month-pregnant wife, and used Mu Bai's wife as bait to lure Mu Bai into the trap he had set in advance, and led his henchmen to join forces to besiege Mu Bai.

Mu Bai's strength is very strong, although the strength of Mu Han's gang is enough to defeat him, and even ...... Hit him hard, but it was difficult to kill him on the spot.

And Mu Bai's strength can only guarantee that he will not die, and he can't retreat with his wife, and Mu Bai refuses to give up his wife and his unborn child, so he always refuses to retreat, fights bloodily, and finally dies!

After Mu Bai died in battle, in order to keep the secret, Mu Han killed Mu Bai's wife with his own hands, and let his unborn nephew (daughter) be stillborn.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Mu Han's ugly behavior was still exposed, Mu Han's father Mu Lei knew about it, he didn't say a word, he could only pretend not to know about it, because he only had two sons, Mu Han and Mu Bai, Mu Bai was dead, could he still kill Mu Han and pay for Mu Bai's life? !

It didn't take long for Mu Lei to step down from the position of the head of the Mu family, and passed the position of head of the family to Mu Han, concentrating on cultivation and no longer asking about everything about the Mu family.

And Mu Rou has not returned to the Mu family since she married into the business, in her eyes, Mu Han is a beast who destroys human nature, this kind of person is too dangerous, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Therefore, Shang Bingjie has never seen Mu Han a few times since she was a child, and the place where she met each time was either in the merchant or the Shen family's mansion, or in the main peak.

There is no family affection between her and Mu Han, and she is even less familiar with that Mu Yang, Mu Yang is just coveting her beauty, hehe, and "deep love"?

That's a joke!
