Acropolis.

Located in the northern part of Zhongrong City, this city is built on a vast mountain range, and its walls are all poured with fine iron, and countless repeated formations are engraved on it.

It was built more for the defense of the northern artery leading to Zhongrong City than for human habitation.

But even so, in the Acropolis, there are tens of thousands of families, large and small, that have taken root and spread out here.

Among them, the collateral branch of the He family is one of them, and the scale is not small, and it can be regarded as one of the several major families in this acropolis.

But in this land of order, the emperor family has always attached importance to bloodline and has great influence, even the many large and small side families in the secret realm, so even if the development of this Yuanlin He family is getting better and better, in the eyes of the main family, it is still nothing.

It was precisely because of this situation that even if there were well-qualified disciples in the Yuanlin He family, they would still not be able to obtain the excellent cultivation resources allocated by the main family, so they would end up with hatred.

At this time, in the Ruolin gambling house in the Acropolis, there were continuous exclamations and insults on the large and small gambling tables, which were extremely chaotic, but under the guard of a group of guards, the entire gambling house showed a strange order.

At the tables, scantily clad glamorous dealers skillfully shook the dice, pushing the silver on the table from time to time.

In the hut at the back of the casino, several scantily clad and beautiful women were serving a young man, and beside the young man, several noble people were quietly watching the bustle of the gambling house through a large floor-to-ceiling window.

"How is it?, Brother Cailiang?" Among the several people, the noble man led by him smiled and looked at the young man on the side.

The young man's face was vain, his eyes were drooping, his body was thin and hunched, and he looked like he was overly drunk.

People who often walk around the Acropolis of Yuanlin know that this man is the ninth son of the He family of Yuanrin, named He Cailiang.

Don't look at his decadent appearance, in fact, his qualifications are excellent, and he broke through the Spiritual Light Realm at the age of thirty and stood firm at the early stage of the Corpse Dog Realm.

This is extremely rare in the Yuanrin He family, and only the head of the family, He Shuofei, has such achievements when he was young, so the entire family did not hesitate and immediately devoted all their resources to cultivating it.

But providence made people, in a hunting trip, He Cailiang inadvertently provoked a wandering demon beast of the God Realm, and was seriously injured by it, and in the end, it was He Shuofei who arrived to save him.

But it was too late, the meridians in He Cailiang's body were broken, and there was no longer any possibility of cultivation, and He Cailiang was also depressed because of this, and he used alcohol to dispel his sorrows all day long, and mixed in the gambling house Qin Lou.

And just three days ago, a group of outsiders suddenly came, flattering them, and all kinds of benefits came one after another, He Cailiang didn't hold it for a while, so he was lured to drink a lot of wine, and said some tricks that were fatal to the family.

Now that the handle has been caught, the other party not only did not blackmail him, but specially gave him several beautiful relatives and a gambling house, and it was this group of people who took him to see the situation of the gambling house at this time.

"Master Lin, I beg you to let me go......" Although He Cailiang is decadent, he is not a fool, he has also been exposed to a lot of dirty things, and he knows that if he is courteous, he will ask for something.

At this time, the other party grabbed his handle and invested such a large amount of money, there must be something important to rely on him to complete.

When he remembered that his head of the family had made countless efforts to develop the family, but he had told the secret of his family because of his drunken gaffe, he felt that his heart was dripping blood, and he was not interested in any beautiful women and property in front of him, and now he just wanted to go home and sleep honestly, and wake up tomorrow to continue his drunken life.

"Brother Cailiang's words are wrong, you also know that Brother Lin dragged his family here, and he really couldn't survive, so he came up with such a strategy. That Lin Ye said bitterly.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you as if nothing happened. Of course, as long as Brother Cailiang can help me......" Lin Ye's voice gradually became smaller.

He Cailiang listened to the other party's words, and at first he had some promises, but as he heard more and more, his complexion changed more and more.

"No, no!! this is a big rebellion, even if I, He Cailiang, am given up by the family, I can't do this kind of thing!" He Cailiang's face changed in shock, and he hurriedly excused himself.

"Brother Cailiang, what are you talking about? It's just that the little girl has been infatuated for a long time, if you promote this matter and tie the knot in the future, we will write off your little thing, and it will be as if it never happened. Although Xu Ye's tone was respectful, the threat was obvious.

"No! I can't do it!" He Cailiang's vain face turned blue all of a sudden.

If that matter is really exposed, he is afraid that he will be expelled from the family, let alone continue to live the luxurious life he has now.

"Brother Cailiang, you can do it yourself, what do you have to hesitate about now? It's not a big deal, as long as you sit according to what we say, we won't continue to pursue it whether it is successful or not. Lin Ye shook his head and continued to persuade.

"I ...... I'll think about it again......" He Cailiang finally hesitated.

If it is indeed as he said, this matter is not big or small, but Lin Ye's daughter wants to form a good relationship and climb the high branches of his Yuanlin He family to gain a firm foothold in this Yuanlin Acropolis.

He Cai had a hint of luck in his conscience, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.

Three days later, He Cailiang took advantage of the unpreparedness of his subordinates and put the medicine he got from Lin Ye into the medicinal diet of the head of the family.

And an hour later, He Cailiang responded again and sent the little daughter of the Lin family into the compound where He Shuofei lived.

A sound of clouds and rain came from the courtyard, and He Cailiang left with confidence.

In the next few days, there was nothing abnormal in the entire He family, and He Cailiang also returned to a luxurious life, spending all day long.

..................

The secret realm of the emperor, the giant city of the sun.

This giant city is located in the extreme south of the Emperor's Secret Realm.

Nowadays, the entire Imperial Secret Realm is divided into two parts: north and south.

Among them, the Taixu Evil Army occupied the northern part of the Secret Realm, accounting for a quarter of the total area of the Secret Realm, while the Imperial Coalition Army occupied the remaining three-quarters of the area.

Now the two armies are facing each other in the barren ancient gorge in the north of the secret realm, occupying both sides, and no one can help anyone.

After all, this war is extremely involved, and it is impossible to end it in a short time, and it will last at least five or even ten years before it is decided.

And the geographical location of the Giant City is one of the safest areas in the secret realm today, and it is under layers of protection.

Therefore, even though the blood in the north is flowing like a river and there are no bones, this side still looks like a person who lives and works in peace and contentment, and is drunk and gold-obsessed.

And next to the giant city of the sun, in a remote valley.

A man full of blood and energy, with black gas in the corners of his eyes, was slowly wiping the snow-white spear in front of him, his eyes were as soft as caressing his lover's skin.

His name is Suokong, and he has just achieved the realm of knowing gods, and he has just escaped from prison not long ago.

He was kind and simple, but he didn't expect his former lover to be humiliated by the third son of a wealthy merchant in the city.

In order to seek justice for his former lover, he went to the city lord's mansion to report to the official, but who knew that the officials of the city lord's mansion had already been bought by rich businessmen, and they were framed and imprisoned. So his temperament changed drastically, and he became crazy.

This time, taking advantage of the chaos in the entire secret realm, the city's defense force was empty, he found an opportunity to escape from the prison directly, single-handedly entered the mansion of the rich merchant, and completely slaughtered the people in the entire mansion.

Afterwards, he directly disguised himself as an ordinary person, and after killing a family living in seclusion in the valley with a few shots, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, went in to cover himself with illusions, and pretended to live quietly as an ordinary person.
