Chapter 42: The Lord's Sigh of Wangyun City

Wangyun City is located on the north bank of the Yunshui River, only 800 miles away from the Yunyin Mountains in the south.

Looking at the entire Terran world of the Shaking Light Continent, Wangyun City can only be regarded as a small city, with a population of less than 200,000.

However, the territory of Lin Yuanji, the lord of Wangyun City, was not only such a small city, but also many villages and towns.

The total population of his territory is about thirty-five or sixty thousand, so he is a three-star lord of silver, but as long as the population of the territory is forty thousand, he can be promoted to a four-star lord of silver.

Of course, that was before, but now it's different-

Baishi Town and Snake Mountain Town were occupied by others, and the occupants had already announced in public that they had seized the two territories, and according to the rules of the Shaking Light Terran, if he did not act quickly to regain the lost territory, the two territories would belong to someone else.

Losing those two territories and losing more than 30,000 people, he was undoubtedly farther away from being promoted to the Silver Four-Star.

In addition, there is another extremely angry place for him, that is, the lord of Snake Mountain Town, who is his son-in-law, lost his life.

His daughter had recently returned in a panic, and he had promised her that he would take revenge.

Another thing that made him very angry was that one of his clan brothers from the Four Elephant Realm was forced to perform the forbidden spell of the Burning Heart Mansion, and although he came back alive, he was also like a wasted person, and his life was short.

Anger is anger, he is approaching his old age, he has always been calm and has not lost his mind.

He first sent someone to secretly investigate, although he didn't even figure out the name of the other party, but he also found out that the other party held a black iron one-star token of Zizhu Peak.

This made him very puzzled, in his impression, the lord tokens released by Zizhu Peak were at least silver-level, and weren't all women on Zizhu Peak?

His cronies all felt that the other party's Zizhu Peak token must be forged, but he didn't think so.

These days, he is still investigating, and he is ready to take real action.

For this reason, he has been staying in his study, no cultivation, no sleep, and patiently waiting for news from all sides.

It was the same at this time, he had been sitting all night waiting for something very important.

When the sky outside was just dawning, he waited for his brother Lin Yuanxiang.

Walking into this incomparably familiar study, looking at his gray-haired and emaciated lord brother, Lin Yuanxiang shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Yuanji suddenly narrowed his eyes, the look of anticipation on his face was gone, although he already understood what his younger brother meant, he still couldn't help but ask, "The beast tide launched by the scale predecessors has returned in vain?"

"Yes. ”

Lin Yuanxiang sat down, reached out and picked up a teapot on the desk, poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and drank it all.

"What's going on?"

Lin Yuanji asked.

"The beast tide has suffered heavy losses, and according to the words of the scale seniors themselves, at least ten fourth-level demon beasts have been killed in Snake Mountain Town. ”

Lin Yuanxiang sighed and said, "The two masters beside that young man should be high-level cultivators in the Four Elephant Realm, and they hold powerful magic weapons. ”

Lin Yuanji's eyes flickered, and his eyelids jumped.

He sat down again with a calm expression, and said helplessly: "The talent of the demon beasts under the scale seniors is very average, and it is indeed a disadvantage to face the Terran cultivators who hold spiritual weapons and magic weapons with the same cultivation. If it was the same number of Four Elephant Realm masters in the past, the effect should be much better. ”

"In my opinion, it's safest to directly ask the powerhouse of the Transcendent Realm to make a move. ”

Lin Yuanxiang continued: "However, that person may really come from Zizhu Peak, I'm afraid that no transcendent realm powerhouse would dare to attack him easily." ”

"yes!"

Lin Yuanji nodded and said, "Except for the strong people of our own family, how can a strong person with a foreign surname take on the danger of angering Zizhu Peak for our benefit." Even if there is such a strong person with a foreign surname, I am afraid that we will not move others. ”

"My own transcendent realm powerhouse ......"

Lin Yuanxiang shook his head again and smiled bitterly.

The Lin family does have transcendent realm powerhouses, and there is more than one, but if you want to invite them, it is not much easier than inviting a strong person with a foreign surname.

When he reached the transcendent realm, he not only had the strength of the world, but his mood and pursuit were also very different from those of ordinary monks.

Most of them take family affection very lightly, let alone distant relatives who are not close in blood.

"We have a deep hatred for that young man, and we can't be good at all, either he dies or we die, so we must not sit idly by no matter what. ”

Lin Yuanji showed a resolute expression, and said seriously: "This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!"

"Hmm!"

Lin Yuanxiang nodded in agreement, and reminded again: "By the way, Senior Scaly said that it will come in the next few days." Listening to its meaning, it is very dissatisfied with us, and wants us to compensate for the losses suffered by this beast tide. ”

"Alas, another big trouble!"

Lin Yuanji sighed heavily, he didn't dare to offend the scale leopard of the fifth-level cultivator, but he couldn't afford to compensate for the loss of this beast tide.

Not to mention anything else, the loss of about ten fourth-level demon beasts alone was already terrifying.

"Actually, we can try to convince the scale-senpai to deal with that young man himself. ”

Lin Yuanxiang proposed: "Although the scale senior cannot participate in the beast tide, its solo actions will not be restricted by any prohibitions. ”

"Senior Scales shouldn't know that kid holds the Black Iron Token of Zizhu Peak, right?"

"Well, it doesn't know. ”

"Its mind is more cautious and suspicious, I'm afraid it's not easy to be convinced!"

......

......

Snake Hill Town, in a wing room in the same badly damaged lord's house.

Lin Chen was in a large bucket, bathing in hot water, resting his head on the edge of the bucket and closing his eyes.

He wanted to empty his mind, but those tragic scenes kept coming to his mind.

The screams and cries that came from time to time in the town disturbed him even more, and his hands on the edge of the bucket trembled a few times.

He exhaled again and again, but he couldn't calm his mood.

"My lord, do you want to change the water?"

After about a stick of incense, he heard Evian coming from outside the door.

"Change. ”

Lin Chen wanted to lie down for a while.

Not long after, Evian walked into the chamber with a large bucket full of hot water.

Lin Chen covered his waist with a bath towel, entered another big bucket, and then said to Evian, who wanted to walk away: "Rub my head for me, I have a little headache." ”

As he spoke, he rested his head on the edge of the barrel again and closed his eyes.

His arms rested on the edge of the bucket, and the towel floated flat on the water.

"Hmm. ”

Evian walked behind him, two small white hands reaching out to his head.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think that this guy really trusted herself, and if she had bad intentions, she could break his neck in an instant.

In fact, although Lin Chen was suspicious of her, he was not worried that she would kill her behind her back.

If she is hostile or murderous, the system will not be unresponsive at such a close distance.

Lin Chen felt that she had been following her for a while, and if she really had bad intentions, it was impossible for her to remain undiscovered by the system.

He didn't trust her 100%, but he enjoyed her company and service 100%.

I have to say that it feels good to be rubbed on the head by a pure and beautiful girl, and gradually, he relaxed.

People who are too tired, once they are completely relaxed and bathed in warm water, will soon fall asleep, and Lin Chen is no exception.
