The Lingjiang Sword Sect is in the northernmost part of Lingchuan County, more than 2,000 miles away from the county seat, on the south bank of the Linglan River, ranking in the middle and upper middle among the forces in the second echelon of Lingchuan County, and of course there is only the Lin family in the first echelon.

Linglan River, also known as Lingchuan, flows from west to east, stretching for thousands of miles, is the origin of the name of Lingchuan County, and is also the boundary between Lingchuan County and Tianlun County, Jiangbei is the territory of Tianlun County.

The location of the Lingjiang Sword Sect is a bit special, it is at the junction of the two counties, so Lin Tianheng is not at ease with it, and even asked Lin Junhao to check this sect carefully, in case they collude with the forces of Tianlun County, it will inevitably be a trouble when there is turmoil.

However, according to the information fed back by Lin Junhao, the Lingjiang Sword Sect seems to be very peaceful, and it has not colluded with the forces of Tianlun County on the other side of the Linglan River because of its geographical location, and the annual money is handed over on time, and it has never been delayed in the slightest.

The so-called regular money is another tax paid to the Lin family every year by the various factions under the rule of Lingchuan County, and only in this way can the various factions do business in Lingchuan County safely.

After all, the sect and the grass are not of the same nature, they must have a stable source of funds, just the rice is inevitable, in order to facilitate the act, of course, they have to give to the Lin family, the actual controller of Lingchuan County, and over time, there is a case of money.

It was precisely because the Lingjiang Sword Sect was so good that Lin Tianheng was relieved to let Lin Junying escort Lin Ziqing to the door to challenge.

But now thinking about it from another angle, Lin Tianheng feels that there is something strange in it, each sect has its own formal channels for making money, but there are very few sects that do not make money, the Lingjiang Sword Sect is so close to Tianlun County, how can he not trade with the forces over there, his foundation is really so clean?

If you are not greedy for small profits, maybe there is some big plan!

The distance of more than 2,000 miles is not a problem for Lin Tianheng in the Heavenly and Human Realm, after all, he can already truly fly in the sky, and when he flies with all his strength, his speed can even break through the sound barrier!

In less than an hour, Lin Tianheng had already arrived at the station of the Lingjiang Sword Sect, and according to the spiritual imprint he had laid on Lin Ziqing before, he unknowingly found Lin Ziqing and Lin Junying.

"Ancestor (Lord)." The two of them were startled when they saw Lin Tianheng suddenly appear, and then hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite." Lin Tianheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a little guy challenging the Innate Realm, why is it delayed here for so long?" ”

"It's the subordinates who don't do their jobs well." Lin Junying saw that Lin Tianheng seemed to have a look of displeasure between his eyebrows, and bowed his head to admit his mistake, "Four days ago, we had already arrived here and asked to compete with Zhuo Wenqing, the chief disciple of the Lingjiang Sword Sect. However, its head Hua Junrong said that Zhuo Wenqing was out on errands and needed ten days to return. ”

"So you're staying here?" Lin Tianheng seemed to be a little dissatisfied.

"The subordinates wanted to take Miss Ziqing back to the county town, but Hua Junrong tried his best to keep it, and the subordinates felt that the situation was a little weird, so in order to keep Miss Ziqing well-thought, they temporarily agreed to stay and wait and see what happened, and at the same time secretly sent someone back to report the news." Lin Junying said truthfully.

"This Hua Junrong is so bold." Lin Tianheng's eyes narrowed, and two terrifying cold rays shot out, and the splendor of the killing machine made Lin Junying couldn't help but shudder.

"For four days, I didn't even see the shadow of a messenger, so I guess it's already a lot of bad luck." Lin Tianheng restrained his murderous aura and explained.

"What? This Hua Junrong is so bold that even the Lin family dares to offend? Lin Junying couldn't believe it, although he had been stationed in the county all the year round, he also knew that the Lin family had a deterrent to the sects under the rule of Lingchuan County, and the reason why he didn't tear his face with the Lingjiang Sword Sect was because of this consideration.

Hua Junrong's hospitality to the two can be described as meticulous, and even slowly dispelled some of Lin Junying's worries, which Cheng thought that the other party used a delaying tactic, in order to put the two under house arrest here.

"Hua Junrong acts like this, if he doesn't destroy his sect, I am afraid that it will be difficult to correct the majesty of my Lin family, so the lord will hand over this matter to his subordinates." Lin Junying said murderously, he hadn't gone out to run errands for many years, and this time he almost made a mistake here, of course he had all kinds of resentment in his heart.

"Killing is definitely going to be killed, but you don't have to rush it." Lin Tianheng said.

"A little Lingjiang Sword Sect dares to act so boldly, there must be something behind it." Lin Junying, who calmed down a little, quickly guessed what Lin Tianheng meant.

"Yes, the old man also wants to know, why did they attack the people of my Lin family, are they really impatient?" Lin Tianheng sneered.

"Leave this matter to your subordinates." Lin Junying took the initiative to ask, he believed that this matter would be investigated within today.

"No need, the old man seems to have understood." As he spoke, Lin Tianheng waved his hand, and a glow flashed in his pupils.

After breaking through the Heaven and Man Realm, Lin Tianheng's Yuan Shen power could cover a large area, and it was absolutely easy to monitor the every move of the people in the Lingjiang Sword Sect.

From the moment he entered the Lingjiang Sword Sect, Lin Tianheng's powerful Yuan Shen power had already begun to investigate, and it really allowed him to find out Hua Junrong's secret.

At the same time that Lin Tianheng entered the Lingjiang Sword Sect, it happened that a messenger rushed to Hua Junrong's residence without stopping, and this person was one of his disciples, Lu Wenxing.

"How? Any news? Without waiting for Lu Wenxing to breathe, Hua Junrong couldn't wait to ask.

Lu Wenxing shook his head and panted: "Lord Xuan set off from the capital six days ago and rushed to Lingchuan day and night, except for a delay in Kunshui County due to official business, there is no place to stay. ”

"Calculate the footsteps, his team should have arrived at this moment." Hua Junrong frowned, the person he was waiting for and the backer behind him was Xuan Jun.

"Master, senior brother, there is news from their side, the gate of that place has begun to move, and it seems that it will be opened tomorrow." Lu Wenxing said.

"Tomorrow's ......" Hua Junrong fell into deep thought, now that Xuan Jun has not arrived, the gate will open, it is really tricky.

Hua Junrong didn't speak, and of course Lu Wenxing didn't dare to speak, so he could only wait for his master to decide.

"In this way, some more disciples will be sent out tonight to support your senior brother, and as soon as the door opens tomorrow, I will personally go over as a teacher." Hua Junrong thought for a moment, and finally turned his heart sideways, even if Xuan Jun didn't come, he would never let go of the treasures inside.

"A broken 'Fire Phoenix Classic' can create a thousand-year-old family, if I can find something better in it, dominating the world is just around the corner, even if I sacrifice some disciples, it's worth it!" Hua Junrong said secretly, thinking about the secret passed down from his ancestors, he felt that he could gamble, and Xuan Jun had not arrived, it was a good time for him to take the benefits alone!

"It's just that those people from the Lin family came at an inopportune time." Hua Junrong sighed, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed.

"Do you want to ...... them," Lu Wenxing made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Hua Junrong pondered for a moment before he said, "After all, there is a grandmaster among the other party, and it is naturally not a wise move to attack by force. But that grandmaster is very careful, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for poison or something to work. ”

"Why don't you let the senior brother come back and compete with that little girl, won't they naturally leave after the sword competition." Lu Wenxing proposed.

"A little girl about ten years old, what kind of sword does she know! In the opinion of the teacher, this must be an excuse to attack my Lingjiang Sword Sect, if that girl is injured by your senior brother, the Grandmaster of the Lin family may take the opportunity to attack us, and he will never turn around and leave. Hua Junrong stroked his beard and said.

"Then if we go out to intercept and kill the people who report the news of the Lin family, won't we already have a grudge against them." Lu Wenxing was puzzled.

"That's just a delaying tactic, if Commander Xuan arrives on time, he can naturally take them down without blood." Hua Junrong said, in his original plan, they only needed to temporarily drag Lin Junying and the others, and then hand it over to Xuan Jun to deal with, he forgave the Lin family and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the commander of the dignified Xuanfeng Division.

But Xuan Jun's sudden disappearance completely disrupted Hua Junrong's plan, and now he can only continue to drag, at least until he gets the treasures and cheats, he must not easily turn his face with Lin Junying, otherwise it will attract more people's attention, how can he swallow the treasure alone!

"You don't have to ask about this matter, you have your own way for the teacher." Hua Junrong glanced at Lu Wenxing, and the latter retired with amusement.

I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain this time, and Xuan Jun probably wouldn't have imagined that the secret he kept would be easily broken by the old man. Lin Tianheng laughed three times in his heart, he was extremely curious about the "place" that Hua Junrong said, which could make Xuanjun come all the way, and there must be great benefits in it!

Whatever was in it, the old man laughed at it. Lin Tianheng said secretly.

Not long after, Hua Junrong came to the door in person, saying that there was something wrong with the business of the Lingjiang Sword Sect, and he, the head of the sect, had to deal with it in person, and could not continue to accompany him, so he asked Lin Junying to forgive Yunyun, and he also said that Zhuo Wenqing had already sent news that he would inevitably return to the Sword Sect within two days to reassure Lin Junying's heart.

Under Lin Tianheng's arrangement, Lin Junying was full of promises, and did not show any suspicion, even if Hua Junrong's move was tantamount to handing over the lair of the Lingjiang Sword Sect to Lin Junying, after all, the Lingjiang Sword Sect only had Hua Junrong as a grandmaster, and no one could restrain Lin Junying after he left.

Hua Junrong didn't have any doubts, but he felt that things were going unusually well, after all, how could he know that there was a celestial-level master in the sect, and he could know about his secret conversation with his disciples from hundreds of feet away.

That night, Hua Junrong left the Lingjiang Sword Sect with a large number of disciples, almost leaving an empty shell to Lin Junying.

"He's so relieved to hand over his base camp to us?" Lin Junying couldn't help but say, her face was quite strange.

"It's not that he's relieved, it's that what's over there is more important to him." Lin Tianheng smiled slightly, and then followed with the two of them, hanging far behind Hua Junrong and the others.

After a night of running, Hua Junrong and others crossed the Linglan River, and came to a hidden mountain col in Tianlun County before dawn.

"Master." Seeing Hua Junrong coming, the disciples of the Lingjiang Sword Sect led by Zhuo Wenqing immediately saluted and said hello.

"How's it going?" At this time, Hua Junrong still cared about these false courtesies, and asked impatiently.

"There's a crack in the door, and it still can't be passed through by one, but it must be open after dawn." Zhuo Wenqing reported.

Lin Tianheng followed Zhuo Wenqing's gaze from a distance, and saw a portal on top of the mountain, which fit closely with the mountain, if it wasn't for the gap exposed at this time, others wouldn't have seen any clues.

This place is kind of a ten-point point. Lin Tianheng suddenly thought, but compared to the magnificent stone gate of the Ten Absolute Passes, this portal is much smaller, only more than one person high, not so much a door, but more like a stone tablet without an inscription.

Hua Junrong walked to the door, stared at the slowly opening gap, and remembered the story passed down from his ancestors.

A thousand years ago, when the world was in turmoil and Daqi was not yet founded, there were twelve heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they made friends at the end of the year, and after drinking a meal, they were like-minded and married Jinlan, and then they created their own forces.

These twelve people are all very talented in martial arts, and with a few secrets that they accidentally obtained in the troubled times, they have all achieved the realm of grandmasters, not only becoming a force to be reckoned with in the southwest region, but also achieving a good story.

By chance, the twelve discovered this strange place that could be opened by themselves.

can make a career in the troubled times, the twelve people are naturally bold, and they feel that there must be some opportunity in it, so they have the courage to enter it.

After entering the portal, the twelve people found that this was actually the burial place of an ancient powerhouse, which was both dangerous and accidental.

The martial arts of the twelve people could only support them to cultivate to the grandmaster, and in order to go further, they relied on their own grandmaster cultivation and ventured into the depths of the tomb to find the exercises practiced by the tomb owner.

It's a pity that they overestimated themselves after all, and also underestimated the danger in the tomb, which was full of traps, formations, and even creatures that they had never seen before!

The casualties soon appeared, and as their footsteps deepened, the twelve brothers died one after another, and only two survived in the end, the ancestor of the Xuan family and the ancestor of the Hua family.

The ancestor of the Xuan family obtained the mutilated "Fire Phoenix Classic", and the ancestor of the Hua family obtained a broken swordsmanship "Liaoyuan Sword Technique".

After the two escaped from the tomb with great difficulty, they were both severely injured, and the ancestor of the Hua family even broke a hand and a foot.

The two discussed it for a while and decided to go their separate ways.

The ancestor of the Xuan family met the founding emperor of Daqi on the way to try his luck in the north, and then followed him to assist him wholeheartedly, and then there was a thousand-year-old Xuan family.

And the crippled body of the ancestor of the Hua family, he could only rely on his grandmaster cultivation to create a small sect nearby, and this small sect was the prototype of the Lingjiang Sword Sect.

Later, when Daqi was founded, the ancestor of the Xuan family wanted to take his brother to Qi to enjoy happiness, but was rejected by the ancestor of the Hua family.

Because he discovered this tomb first, the ancestors of the Hua family felt that he had harmed a group of brothers, and insisted on staying here, guarding the spirits of the brothers for generations, and at the same time watching the portal of the tomb, waiting for it to open next time.

The owner of the tomb once stated in the tomb that the tomb is opened once every thousand years, so this secret has been handed down and can only be known by each generation of family heads.

Xuan Jun's trip was to go to the thousand-year covenant, and he had been very confident in finding out the secrets of the tomb after cultivating to the great master, but he died before he could leave the school.

The secret of this can only be left to Lin Tianheng, who killed him, to explore.
