Liangyi Heaven, Eastern Region, Qingyang Mountain.
This is a famous mountain in Liangyi Heaven, especially in the hearts of countless Taoist monks, it has a supreme status!
Qingyang Mountain is the place where a powerful person from outer space rested and preached when the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth were in chaos and billions of lives were just emerging from the primordial chaos.
The mighty man came riding a green goat and taught the great way of cultivation in this mountain, passing down the lineage of the Liang Yi Tian Dao Sect.
At that time, there were thirty-nine people who had the opportunity to hear the teachings in person at Qingyang Mountain. These thirty-nine people were later worshipped as the "39 ancestors of Taoism" by the Liangyi Tiandao sect monks.
As time goes by, things have changed a lot and the two worlds have undergone countless changes.
Among the thirty-nine ancestors back then, some completely died, some died in battle and started over again, and some have been smooth sailing and have been practicing until now.
Today, among the eighteen saints of Liangyi Tiandao Sect, three are the original thirty-nine ancestors, and nine are the direct disciples of the thirty-nine ancestors who listened to the teachings of the past. These twelve people are honored as the "Qingyang Orthodox Sect" by Liangyi Tiandao Sect, and can be regarded as the most orthodox descendants of Liangyi Tiandao Sect.
Today, Qingyang Mountain and the surrounding territory within a radius of ten trillion miles are governed by the Qingyang Lin family.
The Qingyang Lin family's ancestor was one of the thirty-nine ancestors. The thirty-nine ancestors were ranked in the order of who arrived at Qingyang Mountain and listened to the teachings of the great master. The Qingyang Lin family's ancestor had a low level of cultivation at the time, and was the 39th lucky person to arrive at Qingyang Mountain. Therefore, among the thirty-odd ancestors, he was the youngest junior brother!
Many years ago, the Lin family's first ancestor had a chance to attain enlightenment as a sage, but he gave it up to two of his thirty-nine ancestors, who had a deep friendship with him but had made mistakes in their practice and gone astray, and were on the verge of complete destruction of their souls.
Thus, two new sages emerged, while the ancestor of the Lin family was wiped out in an unexpected demonic calamity a hundred years later.
Behind the Qingyang Lin family, of course, there are two big backers named 'Original Ancestor' and 'Daoist Sage'... Just this bond of love and affection is enough to make the Lin family live happily forever, as long as the Qingyang Lin family does not commit suicide.
It just so happens that the disciples that Lin's founder accepted back then were also quite impressive.
He accepted nine direct disciples, and his chief disciple also achieved the status of a sage many years later. Four of the other eight disciples died, and the other four also cultivated to the Dao Lord realm, and were the most powerful and unpredictable in the Dao Lord realm.
Among the Eighteen Sages of the Yin-Yang Tiandao Sect, three have the most direct and closest relationship with the Qingyang Lin Clan, and all three belong to the 'Qingyang Orthodox' lineage... With this network of connections, the Qingyang Lin Clan enjoys the blessed land of Qingyang Mountain, which can be regarded as the ancestral home of the Yin-Yang Tiandao Sect, and is regarded as the 'ancestral guardian family' of the 'Qingyang Orthodox' lineage.
Lin Haoran is the most legitimate descendant of the so-called 'Taoist ancestral guardian family'.
How serious is it?
The current head of the Qingyang Lin family, Lin Kaiyang, the head of the Lin family, is the thirteenth generation ancestor of Lin Haoran. Lin Kaiyang's eldest son, eldest grandson, eldest great-grandson... Counting all the way down to the thirteenth generation, Lin Haoran is the eldest grandson of the thirteenth generation of Lin Kaiyang's lineage!
The eldest grandson of the eldest house is the legitimate successor, with the purest bloodline and the most stable status!
As long as Lin Haoran does not die halfway, as long as he practices step by step and becomes familiar with family affairs step by step, after several years, when his ancestors, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father take over the position of family head step by step, generation after generation, and take turns to hold the power of family head for several years, one day, Lin Haoran will become the head of the Qingyang Lin family!
And Lin Haoran’s eldest son will take over the power from him after Lin Haoran has been in charge of the family for millions of years and continue to be the leader of the Qingyang Lin family!
Of course, Lin Haoran has not yet married and has no son.
However, all of the above are enough to explain Lin Haoran's identity - he is the destined head of the Qingyang Lin family in the future. He is also the heir to the ancestral guardian family recognized by the Qingyang Taoist sect... In the secular world, he is the most legitimate grandson of the emperor, the kind of ironclad grandson whose inheritance rights cannot be shaken by anyone!
The Lin family of Qingyang is so luxurious and so special.
The place where Lin Kaiyang, the current head of the Qingyang Lin family, lives on a daily basis is naturally extremely luxurious and special.
To describe it in a slightly disrespectful way, the huge Qingyang Mountain is a huge ancestral temple, the Qingyang Lin family is the guardian of the ancestral temple, and Lin Kaiyang is the highest-ranking head priest in this large ancestral temple!
Ancient and magnificent halls are neatly arranged all over Qingyang Mountain. In the middle is a hall cluster with nearly a thousand halls. Every brick, tile, beam and pillar are built with various rare materials.
These halls were built with the financial resources of the entire Qingyang Sect. Their building materials may seem ordinary, but they are actually very precious. Even a piece of ordinary brick used to pave the floor in the most inconspicuous corner of a side hall can be refined into a great bodhisattva-level magic weapon!
At the core of these palaces, there is a large hall that covers nearly one million acres. It is as high as a mountain, majestic, and has a look of clouds blocking the sun. This hall is the main hall dedicated to the great man who passed down the origin of the Liangyi Tiandao Sect.
From the outside, this main hall appears to be extremely large, and the interior space is even more magnificent, comparable to the land area of ​​a small country in the secular world.
In the hall, there were even great masters who arranged the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon, the movement of the stars, and the mountains, rivers, and sacred caves on the ground. Various exotic flowers bloomed in all seasons, and countless exotic herbs were fragrant all year round. There were also the sound of wind and rain, flowing clouds and flying clouds, and various strange phenomena, which decorated the entire hall with a natural look, just like a real world.
At the core of this hall is a statue that is thousands of feet tall, with an ancient color and looks like it is carved out of granite.
The giant statue sat cross-legged, its face obscured by wisps of colorful spiritual mist, making it impossible to see its appearance. A green sheep with coiled horns was crawling beside the statue, holding seven strange-shaped herbs in its mouth.
On one side of this giant statue, on the top of a thousand-foot-high beautiful mountain, there is a small thatched cottage.
In the thatched cottage, there were simple tables and chairs, a cloud bed, and three ordinary-looking futons. Lin Kaiyang sat cross-legged on a futon, with a small incense burner in front of him, three incense sticks lit in it, emitting wisps of green smoke.
This thatched cottage is where Lin Kaiyang lives and works.
At this moment, he is concentrating on comprehending the rhyme of Tao, and comprehending the supreme Tao of heaven and earth. The ten-thousand-foot-high giant statue not far from him was cast by the twelve sages of the Qingyang Orthodox Sect many years ago. It incorporates the highest principles of the Tao that each of the twelve sages comprehended. As long as one can comprehend one of them, there is a chance to become a sage!
This is what makes the head of the Lin family so precious.
Serving beside this giant statue all year round, practicing with the help of the Tao rhyme emitted by the giant statue, and being immersed in the Tao rhyme of the statue for many years, even a pig will become a flying pig with extraordinary qualifications and amazing potential!
This is also true.
Since the casting of this giant statue was completed, the Lin family has changed 72 generations of family heads, and Lin Kaiyang is the 72nd generation.
Among the previous seventy-first generation of family heads, eleven had broken through the Dao Lord Wonderful Realm and attained the Dao Lord Fruition. The remaining sixty were all at the level of Half-Step Dao Lord, and many of them were on the verge of a breakthrough, they just needed an opportunity!
The leader of Taoism is the Buddha of Buddhism!
In other words, not to mention the backers behind him, the Qingyang Lin family has eleven powerful men whose status and Taoism are comparable to the Prison-Suppressing Xuanguan Buddha!
In terms of the number of Taoist masters alone, the Qingyang Lin family can be said to be number one in the Liangyi Heaven. No other sect or family can compare with the Qingyang Lin family.
Take for example the ancestor of the Hunyuan Luotian Sect, Yizhuzi, who put Lu Yi on the Daluo Blood List. He was only at the Dao Lord realm, and had just entered the realm of Dao Lord. He was considered the weakest and least powerful one in the realm of Dao Lord.
A strange rhythm of Taoism rose slowly above Lin Kaiyang's head, transforming into a looming towering tree, reaching a height of ten thousand feet. On the tree, countless branches were slender and beautiful, flowing and natural, full of a kind of inexplicable harmony and a strange charm of freedom. On the branches, countless emerald green leaves were like jade carvings, flashing with green light, and mysterious patterns of the Tao were looming inside.
Among the twelve sages of Qingyang Sect, there is a "Five True Masters", who was the last disciple of a certain Yuan Zun among the thirty-nine Yuan Zuns. He practiced the innate and acquired five elements, and he had deduced the changes of the five elements to the pinnacle.
When the statue was completed, Master Wuzhen had instilled his understanding of the five elements into the statue. Now Lin Kaiyang was comprehending the acquired 'wood' Dao rhythm that Master Wuzhen had left in the statue.
Relying on this acquired wood rhyme, Lin Kaiyang has sat on the throne of the patriarch for only 120,000 years, but he has already pushed his own Taoism to the extreme of the half-step Tao master realm.
All he needs is a flash of inspiration and the right opportunity, and he will be able to successfully break into the Dao Master realm and become the twelfth Dao Master of the Lin family, thus further deepening the Lin family's heritage.
Endless ancient Taoist rhyme accumulated and circulated in Lin Kaiyang's body, and he seemed to have turned into a seed born after the creation of heaven and earth.
He was buried in the soil, absorbing nutrients from the earth, absorbing sunlight and rain, gradually sprouting and growing, from a tiny seed, he gradually grew into a towering tree.
One day, the lifespan of the giant tree reaches its limit, the trunk withers and shriveles, the entire tree collapses, and all life is gone.
But before its vitality collapsed, the giant tree had already condensed its life essence into a magical seed. With the help of the power of nature, it sent it to the distant heaven and earth, where it found a more fertile environment that was more suitable for the growth of the giant tree.
So, it is another cycle of life.
Grow, become strong, wither, and then repeat the process again.
Lin Kaiyang slowly opened his eyes. He could feel his progress and the increasing power in his body. He could also feel that he was only a tiny bit away from breaking through a certain layer of window paper!
He smiled reservedly and said, "The Buddhist principles of prosperity, extinction, and reincarnation are also of some value to my Taoism... Well, it's not a loss to make this deal with those thieves... I used my Lin family's elixir to exchange for the cultivation insights of these black-hearted monks, which is of great use to me."
The shadow of the giant tree behind him became more solid.
Lin Kaiyang said softly: "If I can break through to the Dao Lord Wonderland within ten thousand years, then among the twelve Dao Lords of our family, my age of breakthrough can be ranked in the top three... But in the entire Dao Sect, at my current age, I am afraid that the record of breaking through to the Dao Lord Wonderland is only after the top 100."
Sighing softly, Lin Kaiyang shook his head and said, "It can be seen that the foundation of our family is still not worth mentioning compared to such a great sect... When our family can have a sage of its own, then the Qingyang Lin family can rest assured. This Qingyang Mountain will no longer be "managed by" our Qingyang Lin family, but will truly become the foundation of our Qingyang Lin family!"
“However, the eleven ancestors above me may not be able to attain enlightenment in the foreseeable future.”
"As for me... it's difficult, difficult, difficult."
No matter how self-confident Lin Kaiyang was, he would never dare to say that he could attain the supreme status of a sage.
"However, among the many descendants of this old man... most of them are mediocre. The most outstanding one is probably that grandson Haoran..." When mentioning Lin Haoran, Lin Kaiyang subconsciously showed a happy smile.
As a family patriarch, in his opinion, Lin Haoran is a "perfect" descendant.
He is handsome, upright, and behaves in a strict and gentlemanly manner. He has an excellent reputation both within the Lin family and in the many sects and family circles of the Liangyi Tiandao Sect.
In particular, Lin Haoran, as the direct descendant of Lin Kaiyang and the most orthodox heir passed down from the eldest son of the eldest house, actually "abandoned his family background", gave up "sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor", and went to Demon Suppression Ridge to train as an "ordinary bastard of a small family".
With the background and power of the Qingyang Lin family, in the huge Liangyi Tiandao Sect, among several real big families, there is no legitimate son with the same status as Lin Haoran who would go to that hellhole of Zhenmo Ridge to suffer!
Demon-Suppressing Ridge... Although there are lucrative opportunities, who among the young masters of a noble family would be interested in such small benefits?
Only those illegitimate sons of large families who are not valued, or to put it bluntly, those illegitimate sons raised by concubines or maids, with a somewhat awkward status, or some children of impoverished families, would be thrown to the Demon-Suppressing Ridge to fight for a future with their own lives, and at the same time gain a little insignificant merit and fame for the family!
Lin Haoran actually volunteered to go to Demon-Suppressing Ridge to train under an assumed name.
"Such perseverance, such determination, Haoran... has a bright future..." Lin Kaiyang muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if the three thousand Qingyang secret guards secretly arranged for him can protect him!"
As Lin Kaiyang continued to mention the name 'Lin Haoran'.
In the dark, an extremely subtle force was activated... Because of the traction of blood and the strange collusion of cause and effect, a trace of unpredictable power quietly explored from the unpredictable dimension and entangled Lin Kaiyang little by little.
These unpredictable forces gently invaded Lin Kaiyang's body. Lin Kaiyang's heart trembled inexplicably, and he felt a sudden impulse, but this strange feeling only lasted for a moment and disappeared in an instant. With Lin Kaiyang's current Taoism and supernatural powers, he was unable to grasp any useful points from it.
This unpredictable force, with Lin Kaiyang, the patriarch of the Lin family, as the hub, rapidly multiplied, and then, following the pull of blood and cause and effect, extended silently to the many members of the Lin family.
Qingyang Mountain can be regarded as the top paradise in Liangyi Heaven. In terms of Taoist charm and inspiration alone, it is a hundred times more dense than Qionghua Mountain and Liuxia River, where Lu Yi's current Taoist temples are located. Suddenly, an evil wind blew.
This wind arose out of nowhere, no one knew where it came from, no one knew why, it was just a whistling wind that blew away large patches of flowers, knocked down several sacred trees, and caused the tiles on the roofs of several pavilions used to raise rare birds to fly up, causing the beams and pillars to collapse, and smashing the heads of several maids and servants who were responsible for taking care of these rare birds.
Given the status of the Qingyang Lin family, even the pig sty is covered with countless forbidden formations, and only a wild boar spirit at the level of a great bodhisattva can shake it in the slightest.
A gust of evil wind actually blew down several buildings?
Such an unusual incident was so serious that the servants in charge of those places dared not conceal it and they hurriedly reported it to their superiors one by one.
The Qingyang Lin family was a little nervous, thinking that there was an invasion by foreign enemies who wanted to do something bad to the Qingyang Lin family. However, a large number of people were dispatched to patrol the front and back of the mountain, inside and outside the mountain for several hours, and found that all the mountain protection formations and all the monitoring prohibitions were intact, without any abnormalities, so the matter was put aside!
With three saints as their backers, who dares to provoke the powerful Qingyang Lin family?
The large array of restrictions at Qingyang Mountain was set up by three sages themselves. Who could sneak in easily... just to knock down a few birdhouses used to raise birds?
It can be seen that it was just an accident and not worth making a fuss about.
This matter was suppressed in a position that was neither high nor low in the huge family system of the Qingyang Lin family. It did not alarm the real high-level officials such as Lin Kaiyang, and it was even less likely to disturb the many ancestors who were in seclusion and practicing, trying wholeheartedly to break through.
The only slight change was that the maids and servants in charge of the bird towers disappeared quietly. Not only was there no trace of them in Qingyang Mountain, but they also disappeared completely in the entire Liangyi Heaven, without leaving any residue or sound behind.
Lin Kaiyang, who was sitting cross-legged in the thatched cottage, felt inexplicably upset.
His originally clear and bright mind of Taoism was inexplicably rippled. His comprehension , which was originally only a thin layer of window paper away from a breakthrough, seemed to be blocked by a naughty child who pasted three thin layers of mulberry paper on the outside of this layer of window paper.
Lin Kaiyang himself was unaware of it, but the difficulty for him to break through to the Dao Master realm became inexplicably greater.
The ripple of Dao heart at this moment reduced the possibility of his breakthrough, and the time was pushed back by tens of thousands of years... As the current head of the Lin family and one of the foundations of the future Lin family, this meant that the Lin family's luck was deprived of a little, and the fate of this behemoth Lin family was gently changed by the breeze.
The original thoroughfare, the path of light, may now point to an endless abyss, the ultimate destruction...
In Qingyang Mountain, on a mountaintop surrounded by a huge restriction, seven Lin family elder-level weapon masters were working together to refine a top-level spiritual weapon. They had already spent thousands of years of hard work and mobilized a huge amount of resources, and the huge spiritual weapon was about to take shape.
At the moment when Lin Kaiyang's heart was rippling, the seven elders' mana operation and control of the prohibition were all a little disordered at the same time. The small disorder was like a butterfly's wings flapping a huge storm. This spiritual weapon, which cost more than one trillion top-grade immortal crystals and was prepared for the next generation of the Lin family's patriarch, exploded.
The mountain collapsed, the embryos of the spirit weapons shattered, and the seven elders vomited blood. They were badly injured in the explosion. Without a thousand or eight hundred years of recuperation, there is no way they can recover their current level of cultivation!
A wisp of the Lin family's majestic fortune quietly faded away.
Half an hour later, on another hilltop of Qingyang Mountain, an old ancestor of the Lin family who had the cultivation level of a Taoist master suddenly opened his eyes and looked expressionlessly at the alchemy furnace in front of him that was a thousand feet high and wrapped in golden spiritual flames.
This furnace of Nine Fires, Wind-Returning and Life-Surpassing Pills was a very high-grade elixir that had the miraculous effect of rebuilding the foundation of the Dao and transforming decay into magic. He had started to cultivate and refine it during his retreat three thousand years ago, for the benefit of several of his direct descendants who were deeply loved by him but were born with ordinary talents and roots, and had no hope of becoming a great Daoist.
Those descendants have relied on the accumulation of resources to force their way to the extreme of the thirty-third level of the True Immortal Realm.
However, their talents are limited. No matter how many resources they accumulate, they can only achieve this little bit of merit.
If this batch of elixirs is successful, it will be able to transform them into top-notch talents. I dare not say that they can cultivate to the realm of Taoist masters in the future, but it will be easy for them to achieve the level of True Lords, comparable to the great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
With his level of cultivation, refining the Nine Fires Rejuvenating Wind Life-saving Pill is a bit difficult, but he has a 70% chance of success.
Especially after three thousand years of nurturing, this pill is almost formed. It has survived so many pill tribulations and so many twists and turns before. There will be no risks at all in the final nurturing stage!
But right in front of him, inexplicably, wisps of black smoke rose slowly from the furnace.
This furnace is very expensive, especially the elixir that he had spent three thousand years of hard work on, which was wasted... Three thousand years of hard work is nothing for a Taoist master, but the materials in this furnace. If he wants to put together another furnace, it will not be a matter of two or three thousand years.
"How could this be?" The Lin family ancestor frowned, waved his sleeves, and put away the alchemy furnace.
It’s better… better… to keep this embarrassing thing a secret, to avoid being laughed at.
While the elixir was burning in the alchemy furnace, in a spacious and bright Taoist palace in Qingyang Mountain, several younger generations of the Lin family were testing their newly learned sword-wielding skills and appraising each other's newly acquired top-grade immortal swords. Suddenly, one of them output a little more mana, and a sword flashed, piercing through the dantian of a cousin and severely damaging his Taoist foundation!
In another Taoist temple, a direct descendant of the Lin family, a cousin of Lin Haoran, was silently practicing profound skills, forming seals with his hands, and condensing the true seal of thunder magic, trying out the powerful demon-subduing thunder magic he had just learned.
Also in a flash, at the moment when the thunder seal was formed, his magic power was unstable, and the thunder seal suddenly exploded uncontrollably, and the demon-subduing thunder that was close at hand hit the unlucky guy squarely in the face, blowing half of his head to pieces. His soul was severely damaged, and he almost died on the spot.
A flying boat a thousand feet long, carrying eight thousand direct descendants of the Lin family, who had just returned from visiting and studying in neighboring allied families, was returning to Qingyang Mountain. It was only less than thirty thousand miles away from the Lin family's territory and had already arrived at the doorstep of their own home.
Suddenly, one of the most important forbidden immortal talismans in the most important power hub of the flying boat suddenly cracked.
This flying boat can carry eight thousand direct descendants of the Lin family. Its workmanship is naturally extremely sophisticated, and its cost is naturally extremely high. The power hub in the flying boat alone, under the overclocked output that is strongly urged, can output the tremendous power comparable to that of an initial stage Dao master in one day and one night!
The forbidden immortal talisman was suddenly torn apart, the power hub suddenly lost balance, and a terrifying force exploded, blowing the entire flying boat in half.
Fortunately, there were nearly a hundred Lin clan masters on board to protect the flying boat, including twelve peak-level True Lords. They desperately activated their magical treasures and finally saved about five thousand direct descendants, but more than two thousand people were wiped out in the explosion.
The twelve peak True Lords were all severely injured, and three of them were on the verge of death. All the immortal treasures, immortal weapons, various talismans and other life-saving trump cards they carried with them were also blown to pieces, and the losses were extremely heavy.
In just one day, the Qingyang Lin family suffered heavy losses for unknown reasons.
Hundreds of inexplicable things happened, none of which were related to each other, and there was no sign of any conspiracy. But the Lin family was like a young and strong giant, being bled out bit by bit with a knife, the vitality quietly slipped away, and the body was silently eroded.
Outside of Qingyang Mountain, members of the Lin family who were traveling around Liangyi Heaven encountered a series of misfortunes.
Qingyang Mountain is the ancestral land of the Taoist ancestral temple, and is protected by a large Taoist sect and the powerful power of twelve saints.
There were some minor flaws, but the consequences were minor.
Among the millions of Lin clan members who traveled outside for various reasons, some encountered the remnants of evil spirits and were taken to caves to be skinned and torn apart; some encountered powerful enemies for unknown reasons and were hacked to pieces after a chaotic battle; some encountered a great opportunity in the barren mountains, but after a fight, they were stabbed in the back by their fellow travelers and died; some even got jealous of others in a brothel and ended up provoking a playboy from another wealthy family and was beaten to death by a crowd of people...
There are even more unlucky ones who did nothing and were just flying in the sky on the clouds for no reason, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Liangyi Heaven. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck them hard, causing them to fall to the ground.
One by one, pile by pile.
In just one day, more than tens of thousands of similar incidents occurred in various places in Liangyi Heaven.
However, Liangyi Heaven is too vast, and there are too many Lin clan members traveling outside. They don't have time, or simply can't contact their family in time.
Tens of thousands of apparently abnormal incidents eventually took several months to resolve, and only a thousand or so were reported back to the Lin family. The Qingyang Lin family, being a wealthy and powerful family, would naturally not put in any effort to investigate the accidents of more than a thousand ordinary clan members!
The casualties were not "crown prince"-level beings like Lin Haoran, but more than a thousand ordinary tribesmen...that's all!
One strange thing after another entangled the Lin family.
Without the Lin family noticing, a number of insignificant, unimportant incidents that caused financial loss, personal injury, and damage to the foundation continued to occur little by little...
And at that moment when Lin Kaiyang's heart was stirred in the thatched cottage.
Lin Haoran, with his hands behind his back, looked at Lu Yi calmly under the protection of the three treasures, and said: "As the deputy city lord of the ninth city, Master Fahai, you know the law but break it!"
Lu Yi also looked at Lin Haoran calmly and calmly: "May I ask for details?"
Lin Haoran smiled. He slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at Yin Yuan and Bai Yuan behind Lu Yu: "May I ask, what are their identities?"
Lu Yu's face froze.
He tilted his head and looked Lin Haoran up and down very seriously.
He didn't believe that since Lin Haoran had brought people to his house to cause trouble for him, he would not know the identities of Yinyuan and Baiyuan!
How big a commotion did Lu Yi cause in the Ninth City of Zhenzi because of the matter between Yinyuan and Baiyuan?
Renyi Money House was ruined.
The human-faced flower is ruined.
The Si Hai was destroyed.
Well, only the branches of Renyi Bank and Renmianhua in the Ninth City of Zhenzi were destroyed, and Lu Yi had not yet implicated their original families. But for Sihaihao, not only was the entire family completely wiped out, but also several allies of the Money Alliance were implicated!
Especially, the unlucky guys from Sihai and Jinqianmeng were acting jointly with the two great city lords of the Demon-Suppressing City, Taoist Sanyang and Monk Dingshan!
With such a big commotion, how could anyone with a little influence in Demon Suppression City not be able to figure out the cause and effect behind it?
Didn't these people get ruined because they provoked Lu Yu, Yin Yuan and Bai Yuan?
Now, in front of so many people, in front of Lu Yi, Lin Haoran directly questioned the identities of Yin Yuan and Bai Yuan... Lu Yi was silent for a while, and said faintly: "Master Lin, what advice do you have?"
Lin Haoran smiled and nodded: "They are criminals!"
Turning around, with his back to Lu Yi, Lin Haoran said loudly to the monks who were watching the excitement around him: "Fellow Daoists, you should know the identities of the prisoners in the Demon Suppression City, the duties of the prisoners in the Demon Suppression City, and... how the prisoners are treated on a daily basis in the Demon Suppression City!"
“They do the dirty, tiring work.”
"They will do it even if it means risking their lives!"
"She shed blood and sweat, toiled without complaint, braved the wind and snow, cut through thorns and brambles... all the hard and dangerous things, all the things that the law-abiding Taoists were unwilling to do, or that were not worth doing, were to be done by the criminals!"
"What are the prisoners in Demon Suppression City?"
"Just sinners?"
"No, the prisoners of Demon Suppression City are scum who will never be forgiven, they are aliens, they are evil demons, they are the embodiment of unforgivable sin!"
Lin Haoran loudly stated the standard for identifying criminals in the Demon-Suppressing City system.
He said sternly: "This Yinyuan and Baiyuan are a pair of criminals! They were exiled directly by the imperial decree issued by the Biluo Taoist Palace..."
"But look at these two criminals. They are dressed in brocade and silk, and are covered with jewels. They are well-fed and fair, and they enjoy delicious food!"
"This kind of treatment is just like being a rich young master!"
Lin Haoran shouted righteously, "My fellow Taoists, is this... fair? If a prisoner in the Demon Suppression City can still enjoy wealth and glory as a prisoner just because he has a little bit of support and a little bit of backing... is this fair to all the kind-hearted Taoists who follow the rules and abide by the law?"
No one said a word.
Even those monks who loved to stir up trouble and fan the flames kept their mouths shut.
They saw that Lin Haoran was ready to fight to the death with Lu Yi, the deputy city lord of the Ninth City!
Really, this crime is too serious!
The prisoners in Demon-Suppressing City are not human beings... In Demon-Suppressing City, they are the lowest level of garbage, the most despicable mud, the most despicable insects... Just as Lin Haoran said, they will not get any benefits. The men among them must fight for their lives, risk their lives, and do all kinds of dangerous things; and the women among them, those who are born ugly, must risk their lives like men, and those who are born beautiful, their lives are not even as good as the prostitutes in the lowest and most despicable secret brothels!
They run a half-open business and can even collect a little money!
As for these female prisoners, even if they were raped, they were raped in vain... unless someone bought their indentures, then the people who raped them might pay a small compensation, and this small amount of money would be given to their masters and would not be theirs personally!
In short, don’t treat the prisoners in Demon-Suppressing City as human beings!
They are worse than animals!
Yin Yuan and Bai Yuan, a young couple, were dressed in silk and satin, wearing precious jewelry all over their bodies, holding precious wine vessels, drinking thousand-year-old wine, and enjoying the beautiful scenery at the most famous attraction in the 49th city of Zhenzi, "Dragon King Spits Pearls"!
This kind of thing has never happened in the history of Demon-Suppressing City!
Because in the past, any criminal who was thrown into the Demon-Suppressing City must have been an unlucky guy whose forces behind him were completely wiped out or completely abandoned by the forces behind him. No one would waste their energy to do anything for a criminal!
The treatment enjoyed by Yinyuan and Baiyuan...tsk!
From the legal perspective of the Demon-Suppressing City, Lu Yi violated the rules... not only violated the rules, but also violated the rules seriously!
According to the unspoken rules of the Demon-Suppressing City, all prisoners are equivalent to evil spirits and monsters.
Then, it would be absolutely correct to accuse Lu Yi of colluding with evil spirits!
If it was any other deputy city lord who came from a small family, the monks around him would have already started to talk and add insult to injury.
But behind Lu Yu... is the Prison-Suppressing Xuanguan Buddha who has a great chance of attaining the status of Buddha!
The Prison-Suppressing lineage of Buddhism is powerful, overbearing, brutal and ruthless. As a true disciple of the Prison-Suppressing lineage of Buddhism, Lu Yi has too strong a backer and too strong a background. Except for Lin Haoran who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, even the young masters of aristocratic families with a comparable status to the Qingyang Lin family would not be willing to make enemies with Lu Yi easily, or there was no need for them to do so!
Everyone watched quietly, watching Lin Haoran and Lu Yi face off.
Countless people are excited and are just waiting for the final result!
Of course, almost everyone present didn't know Lin Haoran's 'real origin'. They thought that Lin Haoran was just an 'ambitious young man' who came from an ordinary small family and relied on his 'own hard work' to come to Zhenmo City to fight for a promising future!
Therefore, almost all the onlookers were not optimistic about Lin Haoran!
Even though Lin Haoran has, through his own efforts, grown from a small, insignificant captain guarding the 49th city to the chief of the Demon Suppression Division who controls most of the military forces of the 49th city!
However, the family background that Lin Haoran showed to the outside world on a daily basis could not be compared with that of the Zhenyue lineage at all!
No one is optimistic about Lin Haoran.
Only Lin Haoran was full of confidence. He faced Lu Yi again, and his right index finger almost touched Lu Yi's nose.
"Master Fahai, as the deputy city lord of the ninth city of Zhenzi, you are so kind to these two prisoners... Could it be that the rumors I heard in the market are true?"
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Rumors, what rumors?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Yi's mind in an instant... It must be said that he, Yin Yuan and Bai Yuan have been acting a bit high-profile these days, so this can be considered as someone firmly holding on to their weaknesses!
However, Lu Yi has at least a dozen not-so-decent methods to deal with these things!
As long as we can eliminate cause and effect and make it impossible for those with great supernatural powers to calculate the cause and effect of things, what would it matter if we could solve this little trouble in front of us?
With the Taichu Huntong Pearl protecting him, Lu Yi was 90% sure that he could easily break Lin Haoran's plan.
However, Lu Yi wanted to have some fun with Lin Haoran!
Lin Haoran wouldn't just pop up out of nowhere. There must be certain people and reasons involved... Lu Yi just wants to find these people and get to the bottom of these things!
Otherwise, Bai Yuan, as the biological daughter of Taiwei Taoist Master of the Biluo Taoist Palace, was banished to the Demon-Suppressing Ridge to suffer by Taiwei Taoist Master himself... There is no such reason, absolutely no such reason!
Considering that Bai Yuan was sent to Jianmen in Yuanlingtian in the lower world when he was still a baby... This is also unreasonable. It makes no sense at all!
Lu Yu wanted to understand these unreasonable things.
So, he asked Lin Haoran very seriously: "Rumors, but rumors about me?"
Lin Haoran narrowed his eyes and sighed deeply: "If I were to tell this rumor, it would simply be a slur on my mouth... But as the Lord of the Demon Division of this town, it is my duty, so I have to..."
After a light cough, Lin Haoran said leisurely, "It is rumored that the reason why Master Fahai treated these two prisoners favorably is because Master Fahai, as a Buddhist disciple, did not abide by the rules and regulations and had an affair with the two women in the prison?"
Lin Haoran drooped his eyelids, and although he lowered his voice, his voice still spread over a thousand miles due to the vibration of his magic power, enough for everyone in the 49th city of Zhenzi to hear it clearly.
"It is rumored that Master Fahai and these two prisoners often have fun together... Master Fahai is good at both offense and defense, and is compatible with both men and women? Is this true?"
Lu Yi was stunned.
Yin Yuan crushed the rhino horn cup with a "crack".
The white turtle was so angry that its face turned red and blood kept oozing out of its mouth!
Just when Lin Haoran said this... in his Qingyang Mountain, the spiritual weapons that the elders who were working together to refine weapons, which were about to take shape, exploded with a loud bang.
Lu Yi's skin and flesh suddenly jumped!
He had just broken through to the twenty-second level of cultivation, but suddenly and inexplicably, he jumped directly to the twenty-third level!
He was about to collapse!
