In less than half an hour, Ding Zhengyi and the two of them ran at high speed for nearly 20 miles with the assistance of the light body technique.

This is also because the Wu family is located in the transition zone between the eastern coast and the western wilderness branches, and there are some hilly terrain along the way.

The low hills and the rough paths that hid them all hindered their progress.

However, those hills with a height of more than 20 zhang and a gentle slope are overgrown with all kinds of shrubs and weeds, as well as countless wildflowers dotted among them, this rough and majestic scenery has a unique flavor in Ding Zhengyi's eyes.

It's just that he is full of longing for opportunity at the moment, so he hurried away, glanced by, and had no intention of slowly savoring this unique scenery.

After walking for more than 20 miles, the destination is obviously not far away, Wu Lin also slowed down at this time, and looked around as he walked, probably observing the terrain.

After walking for several miles, and after climbing over three small hills, Wu Lin stopped in front of a raised rock, which was about half a zhang high and stood out very prominently on the flat hills.

Wu Lin carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and walked around the mountain stone again, then cautiously pointed to the ground next to the stone and told Ding Zhengyi that it was from this position that he picked up the array flag.

Looking around, except for the stone, there was an unobstructed view here, and Ding Zhengyi didn't find anything special, which made him feel bad.

The results of the next investigation also verified Ding Zhengyi's intuition, and with his concentrating induction, according to the key points of the formation arrangement, he played the method to test one by one, and he was busy with a cup of tea within the ten zhang range of this circumference, and there was still no gain.

Wu Lin also watched Ding Zhengyi busy nervously on the side, but as time passed, his frowning brows became deeper and deeper, and his hanging heart began to sink gradually.

It was another cup of tea, Ding Zhengyi was unwilling to look around, so he almost dug three feet into the ground, he carefully screened it several times, but in the end it was in vain.

It wasn't until Ding Zhengyi shook his head and sighed and completely stopped probing that Wu Lin exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that had accumulated for a long time, and then he was relieved.

The aura here is extremely thin, and even if you build the lowest formation, you need to use spirit stones to ensure normal operation, not to mention the powerful magic array arranged with the intermediate formation flag.

This basic cultivation common sense, even if Wu Lin doesn't know the formation, how can he not understand it, it's just that he was lucky and deliberately ignored it.

Although he came with hope, how could the opportunity in the cultivation realm be so easy to encounter.

The two of them were somewhat prepared for this result, so they were just disappointed but not frustrated, looked at each other and smiled bitterly for a while, and then quickly adjusted their mentality.

Wu Lin unloaded the long-hidden hope in his heart, and his spirit was much better at this time.

If you ignore his stunned expression, it seems very free.

But since they all came out, although the opportunity was nowhere to be seen, the two of them were not in a hurry to return, and at this time they stood by the boulder, looking into the distance.

Wu Lin seemed to be quite talkative, he pointed to the hill that spanned the sky dozens of miles to the east, and told Ding Zhengyi the interesting story of looking for mountain delicacies and game in it when he was young.

As Wu Lin recounted, Ding Zhengyi also observed the hill he had just climbed yesterday, watching the mountain rise and fall, and then noticed that the eagle's nest that had made him harvest a lot yesterday seemed to be in the southeast of this place.

Thinking of yesterday's results, Ding Zhengyi's mood was much better, and he calmed down and enjoyed the scenery in front of him, which has its own merits with the plains and mountains.

Perhaps influenced by the environment and mood, Wu Lin changed his image of an old man.

When he talked about being happy, he even yelled a few words in his hoarse voice, looking like an old man chatting about a teenager's madness.

This kind of change makes Ding Zhengyi happy to see it come to fruition, and for his grandfather, who has no hope of cultivation, it is undoubtedly a great happiness to be able to live a happy and happy life.

It's just that Wu Lin's wildness didn't last long, the good times when he was young were short-lived after all, and for him who was in trouble for most of his life, it was just a good memory.

Maybe it was because he thought of the current situation of his family and himself again, Wu Lin suddenly became a little bored, and after sighing heavily, he beckoned Ding Zhengyi and prepared to return to the Wu family's spiritual vein.

Ding Zhengyi has no objection to this, it has been out for a short time, and he has been thinking about the cultivation plan that should be completed today.

However, before taking a step, Ding Zhengyi glanced around casually, and he subconsciously felt that there were a few traces of depressions on the raised rock.

But ordinary rocks, even if they carve out a flower, have no meaning to the monk, and Ding Zhengyi didn't think much about it, and quickly put this strange feeling aside.

On the way back, the two of them were not in a hurry, Wu Lin kept pointing and pointing, introducing the geography around the Wu family to Ding Zhengyi.

After saying it briefly, he unconsciously talked about the history of the Wu family, from the beginning of the ancestors' hard work, to the painstaking management of several generations of clansmen, so that the Wu family continues to multiply.

When Wu Lin described these, he mixed in a lot of his own opinions, which was completely different from Wu's simple and general statement, and Ding Zhengyi also felt a lot after hearing it.

It's just that when talking about the reason for the fall of the Wu family, Wu Lin was silent for a while, with a strong sense of indignation on his face, and then he stared at Ding Zhengyi for a long time, as if he was hesitating what to say.

However, Wu Lin finally seemed to have figured it out, he gritted his teeth, and slowly said a secret that made Ding Zhengyi staggered.

In Wu Lin's mouth, the root cause of the Wu family's current predicament is very different from what Ding Zhengyi knows, and he is thrilled to hear it.

The causes of the previous decline are not uncommon, and in the cultivation world, there will be countless ups and downs of the cultivation family every year.

In the final analysis, the reason is nothing more than the mismatch between the comprehensive strength and the benefits obtained, which is also to blame others.

Just like the Wu family, after losing the protection of the old patriarch, they are like a fat sheep with no resistance in Xuanshan Country, being watched by all forces.

The Wu family, which is not strong enough and not strong, is a matter of course that it cannot keep the rich income.

However, according to common sense, they can choose to join a stronger family force and provide it with some resources in exchange for the stable development of the family.

This is a commonplace thing in the cultivation realm, and maybe in a few years, the Wu family may rise again.

But just when the Wu family was trying their best to negotiate with a few major Xiuzhen families, an accident suddenly appeared.

A mastermind behind the scenes appeared unconsciously, and they continued to fan the flames and sow discord in this matter.

even did not hesitate to personally take action to extinguish the last two hopes of the Wu family in the Xuanshan faction.

Afterwards, it was found from some clues that the mastermind behind this was the master-apprentice force in the Xuanshan faction, but unfortunately several major families finally found no evidence, so they had no choice but to stop it.

Although they didn't seem to get actual benefits by doing this, and they were a bit harmful to others and themselves, they relied on the bait of the Wu family to successfully provoke disputes between several big families, which caused a lot of losses to several powerful families at that time and lost the opportunity to further grow.

Moreover, with the deepening of the contradictions between the several major Xiuzhen families, they also lost the momentum of alliance in a short period of time, and some of the ambiguous benefits between the family and the sect, and even some of the interests that were already in the hands of the family but were not secure, were all obtained by the master and apprentice forces of the Xuanshan Sect in this turmoil.

In fact, in the major families, there are also many people who have insight into the overall situation in advance, but the wealth is moving, and they can't help jumping down knowing that it is a trap.

This can't help but make people admire the Xuanshan faction's master and apprentice forces, they do everything to deceive people's hearts, so that the major family forces are knocked out of their teeth, and they can only swallow it in their stomachs, but they can't say the bitterness.

With the fat of the Wu family, after the careful operation of the Xuanshan faction's master and apprentice forces, they finally succeeded in killing three birds with one stone.

While the strength of the major Xiuzhen families in the Xuanshan Kingdom was damaged, the alliance between the Xiuzhen families also produced some cracks, and there were still many Xiuzhen families that could fight for it, and even their vested interests were lost because of this.

The master and apprentice forces of the Xuanshan faction became the final winners, and they only took a small risk to achieve their goal without bloodshed.

This incident not only allowed the master and apprentice forces to gain great gains in resources, but also directly affected the pattern of the Xuanshan Kingdom in the past few decades, which was also their most significant victory in hundreds of years.

It's just that the Wu family became a victim of this battle, and after the dispute was settled, the strength of the Wu family was greatly reduced, and it was still hit hard again by the master and apprentice forces of the Xuanshan faction.

Through the multi-level exchange of interests, they not only completely cut off the Wu family's trade routes, but also raised the lease fee of their spiritual veins to the limit.

This ensures that the Wu family will not have a chance to turn over, lest they will take covert revenge on them because of this deep hatred after their strength recovers.
