Xiling City.

This is a military fortress located in the northwest of the Huayun Empire.

The area of the entire city is not large, and the radius is only tens of kilometers. However, the location element is quite prominent, flanked by steep mountains, and only a passage in the middle connects the north and south.

This is the place where the Xiling family originated and made its fortune.

1,800 years ago, the territory of the Huayun Empire expanded rapidly, and the elite divisions that had always won a hundred battles and won a hundred battles were bleeding when the troops approached Xiling City. Without it, the Xiling family is a family of cultivating immortals, and in its heyday, there were seven or eight Jindan monks in the clan. Later, if it wasn't for the Kuoyue Palace, the then patriarch Xiling Hongchun was forced to surrender and open the city gate, otherwise he would not have wanted to capture the city.

And Xiling Hongchun was canonized as the Marquis of Xiling, and the title was eternal for generations.

When Zheng Zheng came here, he found that the people here lived in peace, lived a prosperous life, and there was a lot of traffic and traffic, which was a prosperous scene.

If you want to go to Xiling Mansion, as long as you inquire a little, you will know that it is there, which is a landmark building in Xiling City.

Xiling was on the edge of the window of the mansion wing, his jade neck was raised, staring at the birds in the sky in the distance, and his expression was a little lonely. Compared with Zheng Zheng's beautiful appearance at the same time, he is much thinner now.

I was suffering from lovesickness, and I couldn't sleep every night.

Second, the recent series of events has made her extremely depressed.

The Xiling family is now withered, and there are not many people who can support the overall situation. Not to mention the Jindan monks, even the good players in the late stage of foundation building, there are only four or five people, and the remaining bunches are all people who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and compete for power and profit. finally recruited a Jindan monk, but he was a white-eyed wolf who couldn't be fed, and he had to make inches, and in the end he actually hit himself with the idea.

Speaking of Xilingshang, she is also a very poor girl.

Although he has the name of the lord of the nine counties on his head, but due to the early death of his parents, and he has an inextricable relationship with the fifth prince, not to mention the emperor's fall from grace, he has been suppressed by the princes one after another, not only the military and political discourse power has been greatly weakened, but also the members of the clan have quite a few complaints, if she is not the only Jindan master in the entire Xiling family, I am afraid that she would have been coaxed and driven out of the patriarch's position.

Xiling Sheng sighed, withdrew his lost eyes, and slowly walked back to the room.

Then sit down on a chair carved from precious nan wood.

Just two days ago, the fifth prince sent a messenger to come over and let her go back to Dayang Mountain, and this time two Jindan masters were also dispatched, which was very coercive. Now that the three-day deadline is approaching, I'm afraid I'm going to have to get out of here.

Thinking of this time, she couldn't help but feel the back of a man in her heart, as well as the pair of gentle and firm eyes, and her heart was melancholy.

She really couldn't understand why the fifth prince had to keep an eye on herself, and now he still lacked a Jindan master? Last time, there was news that she didn't know where to find a group of people, all of them were strong, and I heard that there were three or four in the middle of Jindan. Subsequently, in the confrontation with several princes, he did not fall behind at all.

Or is it that he knows too many secrets and is not worried about his development in Xiling City?

Xiling was a little sad.

To go or not to go?

If she went, she believed she would never have a chance to come back again. If you don't go, the two Jindan masters are not something they can resist. If you don't do it well, the entire Xiling clan will suffer.

At this time, a maid came in and said respectfully: "County Lord, Xiling Chengye asks to see you." ”

Hearing this name, Xilingshang's face immediately fell, and he said coldly: "What's the matter?"

The maid obviously also saw that the county lord was a little unkind, and said cautiously: "He didn't say it, but he also brought a young man in a black robe here." He said that he had important matters to discuss with you. ”

Xiling frowned, and his expression obviously became a little displeased: "I don't know the severity of the guy." ”

"By the way, county lord, that black-robed young man is also an immortal cultivator, and his cultivation is very high. The slave felt that the momentum on his body was similar to that of the master of Dayang Mountain who came two days ago. ”

"Brother Jindan?" Xiling Sheng snorted coldly, and then said lightly: "Let them go to the conference hall and wait, just say that the county lord has not finished the Fa class." Messing around with some indiscriminate people all day long, something will happen sooner or later. ”

"Yes. ”

I waited for two hours.

Xiling Chengye is a oily face and a young man who looks like a gentleman. The cultivation is not high, and it is the initial level of foundation building. At this time, his face was a little irritable, and he whispered to the black-robed young man and smiled: "Brother Mu Long, don't be impatient, the Xiling Patriarch Fa class should be fine soon." ”

Mu Long is quite handsome, with shaved cheeks, eyes like electricity, and a lot of personality. He said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there's nothing to do right now." Wait with peace of mind. ”

Xiling Chengye said with some flattery: "Yes, Brother Mu." ”

Mu Long habitually rubbed the plate jade ring on his ring finger with his right hand, and said seemingly casually: "Is the Lord of the Nine Counties still single now?"

Xiling Chengye nodded again and again: "Yes, I'm still single." ”

Mu Long sighed slightly: "It's pitiful, it's a pity." ”

Xiling Chengye thought for a moment, and said with a somewhat flattering smile: "Brother Mu, you haven't seen my family patriarch, so you don't know." That is the number one beauty in the entire Huayun Empire, even if she has an ex-husband, but the suitors are still endless, and when you come back to see it, you will be shocked and excited. ”

Mu Long smiled faintly, and his expression was a little unruly: "Really, hehe, then I'll have to appreciate it later." ”

Xiling Chengye hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Mu, it's too opportune for you to come this time, the fifth prince sent two masters of Dayang Mountain two days ago, intending to take the patriarch back." ”

"In fact, several elders in the clan all think that the eldest prince is orthodox, benevolent and generous, and has the image of an emperor. But the patriarch has to stand by the side of the fifth prince, I think it will be bad sooner or later. ”

Mu Long said lightly: "Your Xiling Yi clan's affairs, how can I, an outsider, interfere in it." Besides, I haven't met your patriarch, and people may not listen to me. ”

Xiling Chengye hurriedly said: "Brother Mu Long is outside, you are holding the Danshu iron scroll, and you have the Jin Dan cultivation, even if you want to be the patriarch, I am afraid that Xiling Sheng will have to consider it carefully." ”

The corners of Mu Long's mouth showed an incomprehensible smile and said, "This time I came to Xiling City, just to take away something left by the master. I don't want to go too deep into it. ”

Xiling Chengye was a little anxious and said: "Brother Mu Long, you can't say that, if you really want to count it, you are also Xilingshang's brother." It's just half-sibling. No matter how you escape, you are a member of the Xiling family, but you can't change it. ”

"Xiling family? Hmph, I'm not rare. When Mu Long heard this, his eyes lit up, and a cold air rose straight up.

"You're not uncommon, what are you doing here?" At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door.
