When Lin Feng came back from buying wine, he went to the kitchen to get some food, while Lin Xuanzhong and the two continued to talk about some things. Regarding the situation of the three alliances, Lin Xuanzhong had already learned more information from Lin Wuwu.

Of course, the two talked more about their respective situations, but they didn't expect that in the past four years, Lin Wuwu had worked as a refiner in other cities, learned the basic tempering method of fighting qi, and followed some caravans to and from various cities, and he really had a lot of experience. Thinking that he has been living in a ghost city for many years, Lin Xuanzhong only admires and envy Lin Wuwu's experience.

It didn't take long for Lin Feng to come back from the kitchen, and now that the food and wine were ready, the two chatted more openly. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, they talked for more than an hour before Lin Wuwu got up and said goodbye and went back. According to the agreement, the two will meet again at noon tomorrow.

When Lin Wuwu left, Lin Xuanzhong instructed Chu Yang to clean up briefly, and he walked to the desk and sat down, looking preoccupied.

Seeing that Lin Xuanzhong seemed to have something to think about, although Lin Feng held back his doubts, he still couldn't help but not come forward to disturb. After simply packing up and leaving, in the blink of an eye, only Lin Xuanzhong was left in the house.

For Lin Xuanzhong, the most important thing at the moment is nothing more than the danger of the Lin family. Only by solving the problems of the Lin family can Lin Xuanzhong leave the Lin family safely, wander the world with Bai Qinglan, or find a quiet place to spend the rest of his life.

Every time he thought of Bai Qinglan, Lin Xuanzhong would have a feeling of resentment towards the Lin family, but unfortunately Lin Xuanzhong couldn't do it after all, not to take care of the safety of the Lin family.

Leaving aside irrelevant people, the most important people in the Lin family to Lin Xuanzhong are only Lin Piaoyu and Lin Feng.

If the Lin family is breached, these two people are the last thing Lin Xuanzhong can let go. Lin Feng is okay, Lin Xuanzhong can take him away at any time. As for Lin Piaoyu, Lin Xuanzhong needs to be notified in advance. The key is to take Lin Piaoyu away, and the other party may not agree. As one of the geniuses of the Lin family, not only is his father and mother in the Lin family and holding a high position, but the Lin family has cultivated Lin Piaoyu, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade Lin Piaoyu to leave with him. Thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhong frowned.

Over and over again, Lin Xuanzhong took into account other factors that Lin Piaoyu would not leave with him, and it was not until it was finally determined that Lin Piaoyu would not leave with him in advance, and Lin Xuanzhong's brows relaxed. Now that this method doesn't work, then Lin Xuanzhong can only make the second plan and stay with Lin Piaoyu.

Judging from the current situation, it is dangerous for the Lin family to face the three alliances alone, and even if they stay, it will still have little effect. However, if the Lin family can prepare well in advance, they may be able to escape some clansmen. After all, after being rooted in the ghost city for hundreds of years, the Lin family must be able to resist the simultaneous attack of the three alliances in a short period of time. At present, if you want the Lin family to be ready, you must let the Lin family's top management know about the other three alliances in advance.

Lin Xuanzhong could think that if he went directly to the high-level of the Lin family, let alone let them believe it, even if he wanted to see the high-level of the Lin family, it would be difficult. Unless some extreme measures are taken, with his current strength, Lin Xuanzhong feels that he can do it. In short, Lin Xuanzhong has enough confidence in meeting the top leaders of the Lin family.

Putting aside the matter of notifying the high-level leaders of the Lin family, in Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, there is now a more important thing to consider. Although the strength of the Lin family is not weak, it has no chance of winning against the other three at the same time. If Lin Wuwu's news is correct, I am afraid that there will be other families involved at that time.

There are more than 20 large and small families in Youcheng, most of which are closely related to the other three families, and the remaining half are not bad if they don't bite back when the Lin family is in danger, and they can't be expected to help at all. If this factor is taken into account, the Lin family is even weaker, and it is conceivable that the Lin family will only face a greater test if they want to forcibly leave the ghost city.

At present, Lin Xuanzhong has to consider how big the gap between the two sides is in terms of numbers. According to some scattered hearsay in the past, Lin Xuanzhong knew that the people left in the city by each family accounted for seven-tenths of the total number of people in each family. Especially in a big family like the Lin family, almost a third of the people are out looking for resources, doing some escort tasks, and taking care of some business in other cities, because most of the people outside are men, and more than half of the people who stay in the family to guard their own family are women.

Fortunately, the Beiming Continent only looks at the strength of men and women, counting the men, women and children in the city, the Lin family still has five hundred people who can resist the enemy. According to this principle, the three major families have at least 1,500 combat strength, plus the number of people in other families is at least 2,000. There won't be much difference in strength segments, so the Lin family can imagine the result of five hundred people fighting two thousand.

The situation inside the city was already very unfavorable to the Lin family, and if the other three families had transferred their personnel outside the city back earlier, the situation would be even more unfavorable to the Lin family. Although there are still two or three hundred people outside the Lin family, there are not even a hundred of them with a certain combat power, and the Lin family can't expect them to come back to help.

After thinking about it, in just half a pillar of incense, Lin Xuanzhong had already thought of many questions. And every problem is not something that can be solved by relying solely on Lin Xuanzhong.

In the entire room, there was only one candle flame with Lin Xuanzhong. The candle flame seemed to be in full bloom, and the flame was so high that it never flickered.

After a while, after clearing his thoughts, Lin Xuanzhong thought again. The seven hundred clansmen of the Lin family, not counting the old and weak women and children, indeed have five hundred people who can participate in the war, and compared with the other three, they are at an extreme disadvantage in terms of numbers. If there are still people among the clan who are unwilling to go to war or temporarily rebel, the number will be reduced to 400. Now Lin Xuanzhong has to think of a way, a way to be able to privately judge the number of people participating in the battle. First of all, I still have to see the senior management of the Lin family. And I don't know how the high-level leaders of the Lin family will react after receiving the news, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt that it was too early to consider some issues, so it was better to take a look first.

After clearing his thoughts, Lin Xuanzhong no longer thought about what the Lin family should do, but began to think about what to do if he stayed and didn't leave. First, the safety of Qinglan's master and servant must be guaranteed, and he can personally take Qinglan to his home early tomorrow morning, so that he can protect Qinglan's safety. Now that he has the strength of the fifth order of Dou Qi, there should be no problem as long as the family high-level does not interfere. As for Lin Piaoyu, he could only let Lin Feng go over and inform him first, and I believe that Lin Piaoyu would not doubt himself.

If Lin Piaoyu helps, he may be able to make some high-level members of the Lin family believe their news as soon as possible. If the Lin family had prepared in advance, then they would naturally be able to minimize their losses without being killed.

The most important thing for the Lin family now is timing, the sooner the news is determined and the sooner it is prepared, the more beneficial it will be for the Lin family. With all the circumstances developing in an unfavorable direction for the Lin family, if the Lin family can take the initiative, there is still a glimmer of life. If it really doesn't work, you can also ask Lin Wuwu for help. With Lin Wuwu coming forward, the credibility will be greatly improved. Unexpectedly, after thinking about it again, it was still the issue of returning to the Lin family, Lin Xuanzhong sighed bitterly and looked at the candle flame, and then finally had a general plan in his heart.

Of course, what I was thinking about just now was the good side, what if the Lin family was still defeated in the end? Lin Xuanzhong could think that the Lin family would definitely be wiped out in the end. At this thought, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to think about it anymore.

With the dance of the candle flame, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly came to his senses. Recalling the few questions he had just thought about, Lin Xuanzhong had an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. The Lin family has always treated themselves as waste, and in the end, they have to think about the Lin family, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't understand why God treats him like this.

In deep helplessness, Lin Xuanzhong's hatred for the Lin family became deeper and deeper. After sitting at the front of the table for a long time and not being calm, Lin Xuanzhong simply got up and walked towards the cabinet under the bookshelf.

Opening the cabinet door, Lin Xuanzhong took out a long wooden box, about four feet long and one foot wide. Although it has been placed in the cabinet, there is still a lot of dust on the surface of the long box, and Lin Xuanzhong has not touched the contents of the long box for a long time. When he wiped the dust off the top with his sleeve, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes gradually changed, from anger to sadness, and then recalled an unspeakable past.

Slowly opening the long box, a long sword was gradually revealed, even in the dim room, the sword could not be concealed. This sword can be said to be the most important relic left to Lin Xuanzhong by Lin Yiyang, Lin Yiyang, and it has never been touched since Lin's mother died of illness and Lin Xuanzhong's search for death was unsuccessful.

Picking up the long sword, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts churned, recalling the past. When his father went out on a mission, his bones were missing because of the failure of the mission, leaving only a long sword, and it was as compensation for Lin Xuanzhong from the Lin family. At that time, Lin Xuanzhong was only ten years old, and the blow to Lin Xuanzhong from the death of Lin's father can be imagined. And at that time, it was because the completion of the task was helpful to Lin Xuanzhong, who had become a waste material, that Lin's father took the initiative to ask the high-level for help, who would have thought that he would never return.

Later, Lin's mother died of illness at the age of fifteen due to overwork. For many years, every time he thought of his father's death, Lin Xuanzhong would have a monstrous hatred for the entire Lin family, but today Lin Xuanzhong had to think about the safety of the Lin family.

The mood swings were getting bigger and bigger, and for a while, Lin Xuanzhong only had anger towards the Lin family left in his mind. Because of his extreme anger, Lin Xuanzhong's mind was much clearer. No longer continuing to think about the rights and wrongs of the years, picking up the long sword, Lin Xuanzhong was ready to practice some moves.

More than ten years ago, because he didn't believe that his fate could not be changed, for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong hid in the courtyard all day long and practiced swordsmanship and fighting secrets, but unfortunately every time he practiced, he only brought more pain. Despite this, Lin Xuanzhong was still tormented by pain for ten years, and it was not until three years ago that he completely stopped cultivating.

For those swordsmanship secrets he learned in his early years, Lin Xuanzhong had long remembered them. As he clenched his long sword, countless memories had already surfaced in Lin Xuanzhong's mind. After a brief combing, with full of anger, Lin Xuanzhong practiced swordsmanship in the house.

After years of hard practice, after a little review, when Lin Xuanzhong continued to practice those moves, every move was so accurate and unmistakable, and there was no rustiness. The faster the practice, the faster it became, and after a while, the sword in the entire room was bursting, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal. Because he wanted to avoid destroying the furnishings in the house, Lin Xuanzhong only used a little strength. Despite this, it can still be seen that Lin Xuanzhong is extraordinary in swordsmanship.

After a few exercises, when the body and mind were completely immersed in swordsmanship, the suppressed emotions in the original heart eased a lot. Because he was extremely introverted, Lin Xuanzhong's every move gave people a feeling that he could turn the tide, and it seemed that Lin Xuanzhong's strength was not more than the fifth order of fighting spirit.

After more than half an hour passed, the emotions of anger, depression, and hatred calmed down, and Lin Xuanzhong slowly withdrew his long sword, preparing to continue practicing the Eight Desolation Steps.

The Eight Desolation Steps are a kind of body method, which requires one's own understanding and the coordination ability of the body. The essentials of practicing the Eight Desolation Steps are step by step, from slow to fast, and the more consecutive steps and routines you can get, the higher your attainments in the body. As a genius of the Lin family, Lin Youdu could only take three steps, but after half an hour, Lin Xuanzhong could barely take five steps in a row.

Although Lin Xuanzhong couldn't condense his fighting spirit before, it doesn't mean that his understanding is not high, and now he can take five steps in a row, on the one hand, it can be said that Lin Xuanzhong's talent is amazing, and on the other hand, it comes from the pain and torture of those years. In any case, if the people of the Lin family knew that Lin Xuanzhong's attainments in the Eight Desolation Steps were so high now, the high-level of the Lin family would do their best to cultivate, after all, Lin You, one of the five geniuses of the Lin family, could only take three steps.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't condensed his fighting spirit for three years, but he hadn't regressed at all in the attainments of the Eight Desolation Steps, and he could barely take five steps, Lin Xuanzhong himself couldn't believe it. But having said that, for protecting Qinglan and them, Lin Xuanzhong has increased his confidence because of this.

Putting down the long sword, Lin Xuanzhong returned to the desk and sat down, quietly thinking about the drill process just now, finding out the shortcomings, and then correcting the practice, and so on, until the early hours of the morning before washing and resting. Because of the abundant fighting energy in his body, Lin Xuanzhong no longer needs to rest for a long time like before.

Early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong, who was in high spirits, got up and went directly to call Lin Feng up. After Lin Feng washed up, the two left the courtyard directly.
