New and dark light years

Chapter 535 Attack at Green Mountain Pass

Tianyi Gate.

The top leaders of the Seeking Immortals Society gathered together.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat solemn.

The fact that the guild leader ordered them to focus all their efforts on dealing with the Immortal Execution Guild is... a bit of a stretch for them.

It's not that they're afraid of death, but rather that their backgrounds are fundamentally different.

If we force it, we'll only end up in a dead end.

Anxin said, "I know this is difficult, but since the chairman has given the order, we have to find a way to complete it."

No one answered.

An Xin said, "After all, the guild leader gave us the opportunity to cultivate, which is a favor. At the same time, he is also a military governor, which is power. Since he said so, we can only do it and cannot refuse."

The four branch leaders nodded, indicating that they understood.

Miao Sha thought for a moment and said, "I will personally assassinate the middle and high-level leaders of the Zhuxian Society. If I die, I will trouble Vice Chief An to take care of my family."

"Don't worry about that. The chairman has always been generous. Most of the gold and silver he brought back from the capital were distributed to his subordinates and soldiers. You should all know that."

The dozen or so people present all nodded, their expressions filled with envy.

This was no secret, and news of how much the soldiers would receive in rewards had also spread.

That's a number that even martial artists envy.

Anxin continued, "If you really die, the chairman will take good care of your family."

Miao Sha nodded and said nothing more.

He had already made his decision, so it was now the turn of the others.

Just as Beifeng Sanren was about to speak, a disciple of Tianyi Sect entered from outside.

"Senior Brother, the military governor has done something big."

"What big thing?" Anxin asked, somewhat puzzled.

The disciple immediately explained the matter of the bounty.

After listening, An Xin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "It seems that the guild leader has no intention of forcing us to fight alone. With these bounties, the entire martial arts world is our help. Everyone, what is there to be afraid of?"

Everyone laughed out loud, and everyone felt relieved.

If it were just the Seeking Immortals Society, they would indeed be no match for the Executioner Society. But now, the entire martial arts world is eyeing the Executioner Society covetously, so the situation is different.

They could hide behind those martial arts figures who had offered bounties and launch a sneak attack on the Zhuxian Society.

Afterwards, the group discussed how to deal with the Immortal Execution Society, and then the meeting adjourned.

An Xin called out to Zeng Hongluo, who was about to leave.

"Miss Zeng, please wait a moment."

Zeng Hongluo stopped and looked at An Xin with some surprise.

An Xin picked up a bundle from the side and handed it to the other person: "This is something Brother Li asked me to give you."

Zeng Hongluo looked at the bundle; it was very exquisite, and the materials used were clearly not something ordinary people could afford. It was also embroidered with beautiful floral and bird patterns.

"This shouldn't have been given to me by Chairman Lee..., right? Who gave it to me?"

An Xin gave a wry smile and said, "As expected, I didn't lie to Miss Zeng. Actually, this was sent here by the wife of the military governor, and she asked me to give it to you."

Yellow chime?

Why?

An Xin said helplessly, "I don't know the specifics either. I was just doing this for someone else."

Zeng Hongluo nodded and accepted it.

After leaving Tianyi Gate, she found an inn to stay in.

After eating something to fill his stomach, he opened his bundle.

It contained several blue porcelain bottles with writing on them.

Spiritual Energy Pill, Vitality Pill, Detoxification Pill... three kinds.

She then discovered a letter inside.

Upon opening the envelope, a piece of white letter paper carrying a delicate peach blossom fragrance fell into my hand.

To Lady Zeng: Our past grievances are not insurmountable; this small gift is merely a token of my sincerity. Once you have achieved great success abroad, I will arrange a marriage between us. I humbly request your consideration!
The inscription on the chime stone remains.

It was a very simple sentence, but Zeng Hongluo found it difficult to read.

She was only literate and hadn't studied for many years. She pondered the words over and over again before she understood what Huang Qing meant.

Huang Qing asked her to find ways to help Li Lin with important tasks outside, and then she could speak well of her and get Li Lin to take her as a concubine.

After understanding the meaning of these words, Zeng Hongluo's heart burned with passion.

If any other woman had said that, she wouldn't have believed a word of it.

But she was willing to believe Huang Qing's words.

Because she had spent a few days in the Li family as a prisoner, she knew very well how harmonious the inner quarters of the Li family were, all thanks to the good management of Huang Qing, the first wife.

She stood up, burned the letter, and then her eyes shone brightly.

"It's time to fight with all our might."

……

The backyard of the Li residence.

Huang Qing was playing Go with Chu Rengong.

Chu Rengong randomly placed Bai Zi in a position and asked, "It's not very good to make such a promise without letting your husband know."

"What's wrong?"

"Your husband doesn't seem to like Zeng Hongluo very much. Aren't you afraid he'll get angry?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but my husband understands my good intentions." Huang Qing sighed, "And you've also noticed recently that the four of us are no longer able to... bear your affection."

Chu Rengong nodded slightly: "Indeed, my husband has suddenly become much stronger, leaving us far behind. It should be related to that... Imperial Concubine in the capital."

Huang Qing placed the black stone in the center of the room before saying, "It's perfectly normal for a capable man to have casual affairs. My eldest son... used to frequent brothels for social obligations, and my mother never said anything. Besides, our husbands never stay overnight in brothels, which is already quite remarkable."

"My husband probably thinks they're dirty," Chu Rengong said after thinking for a moment.

“It doesn’t seem like it. Did you think about Yan Jing before saying that?” Huang Qing thought for a while and said, “It seems like the gentleman doesn’t have this kind of ‘concept’. Moreover, the gentleman’s standards have become very high now. Simple beauty doesn’t seem to be able to move him anymore.”

Chu Rengong nodded: "My husband is becoming more and more... otherworldly and dignified. If he weren't my husband, I would feel ashamed of myself whenever I saw him outside."

Huang Qing rolled her eyes at him: "When we were practicing dual cultivation, you were the most crazy. There was no shame in it!"

Chu Rengong blushed slightly: "That's right, we should be even more crazy, otherwise if my husband dislikes me in the future, I won't have many opportunities to be intimate."

Huang Qing said, "You don't need to worry about that. Your husband is a man of great loyalty and affection. Even if you grow old and ugly, he will not abandon you."

Chu Rengong smiled; she understood this, of course. Then she asked, "Continuing with Zeng Hongluo's matter, aren't you afraid your husband will be angry with your reckless promises?"

Huang Qing laughed and said, "As the first wife, it is my duty to help my husband choose concubines."

"Is that so?" Chu Rengong seemed to be thinking, and then she said, "Why Zeng Hongluo? Clearly, Sister Chi... is more suitable."

"Didn't you notice? Your husband has been avoiding her."

"Huh?" Chu Rengong was somewhat surprised: "I didn't realize that. Doesn't my husband seem quite familiar with her?"

Huang Qing smiled, her blue eyes full of laughter: "My lord is indeed very familiar with her, but because he is afraid of Sister Liu, he dares not... approach Sister Chi. You understand what I mean, right?"

Chu Rengong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Huang Qing whispered, "Although Sister Chi is passionate, she is too... too roundabout, making it difficult for her to get close to you, sir. If there is anyone who can truly please you, it is Sister Shen."

"True Lord Blue Scale?" Chu Rengong dared not call Liu Shen by her name like Huang Qing did. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "She's even more like a tomboy than I am."

Huang Qing laughed and said, "Sister Shen is so innocent and honest, that's exactly what I like. If I had met Sister Shen two years earlier, I probably wouldn't have had a chance."

As Huang Qing said this, a look of relief appeared in his eyes. At this moment, Li Lin was indeed staying in the Blue Scale True Monarch Temple.

With Lu Ying's help, he got dressed and said, "Why don't you rest for a bit?"

Lu Ying blushed slightly and said, "I'm not tired."

"Go to sleep first, don't push yourself."

"I want to cook you a pot of porridge..."

Li Lin shook his head: "I'm going to Green Mountain Pass to check on the situation of the spirit rice. I'll be leaving soon."

"I see." Lu Ying nodded obediently, "Then I'll take a nap first."

After saying that, she lay down on the bed and covered herself with the blanket.

As soon as she got into bed, she fell asleep.

Li Lin smiled, left the room, and went to the back of the main hall.

Liu Shen sat on a high platform, her jade-like feet peeking out from her long blue dress, looking just like flawless white jade.

"Little Mirage, what are you daydreaming about?"

Liu Shen looked at Li Lin and frowned slightly: "You smell terrible. You smell like Xiao Ying. Stay away from me."

Li Lin did as instructed and took two steps back.

Liu Shen had a keen sense of smell; he already knew about this.

Then Liu Shen waved a gentle breeze, which circled around Li Lin a few times. Afterwards, Liu Shen nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, you can come over now."

Li Lin approached Liu Shen and asked with a smile, "You don't look too happy!"

Liu Shen nodded: "I'm not convinced. Why can you have a child with Lu Ying, but I can't!"

“It’s not quite the same…” Li Lin said with a wry smile.

“It’s all the same.” Liu Shen pouted and said, “You and Lu Ying can only have one or two children at a time, and human children grow slowly. If you want children to help you hunt, fight, and patrol, it will take several years. When you have children with me, I can lay more than a dozen eggs at a time, and the children can help hunt and fight in just three days.”

Laying eggs... Li Lin suddenly realized that if he married the Tree Fairy Goddess in the future, she would probably lay eggs when she gave birth.

A nest lays a dozen or so eggs, and after a while, a dozen or so dolls with human bodies and snake tails pop out of the eggs. Just thinking about that scene is a bit... abstract.

What are you thinking about if you don't say anything?

Liu Shen floated to Li Lin's side and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Li Lin came to his senses and said, "It's not that I don't want to have children with you. You're very beautiful, and I actually like you a lot too."

"Really?" Liu Shen's eyes lit up, her face beaming with joy.

She suddenly grabbed Li Lin's hands: "Then we shouldn't delay. I know a very secret place where she won't hear us even if we make a lot of noise while giving birth. We can go back after we lay the eggs. She can't possibly break our eggs, can she? Hmph, this is what you humans call turning a raw egg into a fried egg, right?"

Li Lin said helplessly, "It has nothing to do with that. If I want to have a child with you, I need Zhe'er's consent. You should understand now, right?"

"Does it have to be the eldest sister's approval?"

Li Lin nodded.

"Then I'll go talk to her."

Liu Shen flew excitedly towards Yulin County.

Li Lin shook his head helplessly. He came out of the Zhenjun Temple and rode his horse towards the direction of Green Mountain Pass.

Not long after, he heard faint screams coming from the sky. Looking up, he saw a blue figure flying out from the direction of Yulin County, streaking across the sky like a shooting star and disappearing into the distance.

As expected, this is how it ends.

Three hours later, Li Lin arrived at Green Mountain Pass.

Almost all arable land in this area has already been cultivated.

The current yield of the first phase of Lingtian has reached 4,000 jin.

However, if we want to increase production further, we can only open up another spiritual field planting site.

However... it's quite difficult to find a place like Green Mountain Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, has its own water source, and is convenient for planting.

Planting on the plains, it is actually very difficult to protect the spiritual fields from being stolen.

Of course, now that he is a military governor, no one should dare to come.

But anyone who dares to steal is a master, and without a terrain advantage, it's impossible to defend against them.

Li Lin was walking along the ridges of the field with his personal guards when he exclaimed in surprise and his gaze locked onto two soldiers.

When Li Lin stared at them, the two soldiers immediately straightened up.

This unusual situation immediately caught the attention of the guards.

Under normal circumstances, when soldiers are being looked at by important figures, they will subconsciously bend down.

Keeping your body upright makes it easier for your muscles to exert force.

"You two, state your names!" Su Bei, the head of the personal guards, shouted, pointing at the two men.

Li Lin had already focused his attention on the storage ring and began rapidly increasing the number of paper figures that had appeared.

Upon being pointed at by Su Bei, the two soldiers immediately pounced on him.

The movement was swift as lightning.

There was no hesitation.

Ding ding.

Su Bei used his horizontal sword to parry two blows from the two men's broadswords.

He then coughed up blood and flew backward, his sword breaking into three pieces.

A fourth-rank master.

Seeing the burst of energy emanating from the two of them, Li Lin snorted inwardly.

After knocking Su Bei away, the two immediately rushed towards Li Lin, and at the same time, their movements were almost identical.

A combined attack technique?

Li Lin used his lightness technique to retreat quickly.

With a whoosh, two blades of energy swept past Li Lin.

Li Lin's lightness technique was quite good, but he still barely managed to dodge the two sword energies.

But his movements slowed down as he was hindered by the two blades of energy, and the two men immediately closed in to within ten feet of him.

Looking at the fierce glint in their eyes and the malevolent aura on their faces.

Li Lin raised his hand.

Countless paper figures blocked his way.

Dangdangdang!

With a series of slashes, the paper figures with swords and shields were cut in two, along with their soldiers.

The paper doll with sword and shield is relatively 'hard', but it is still far inferior to a fourth-rank martial arts master.

However... while the paper dolls with swords and shields couldn't stop a fourth-rank martial artist, there were enough of them.

Then came a series of slashing sounds.

Although more of the paper figures with swords and shields turned into scraps of paper, Li Lin was safe. He slowly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the two.

"Li Lin, if you're so capable, let's fight one-on-one. What kind of skill is it to use evil magic?"

From within the pile of paper figures, someone shouted in a loud and clear voice.

At this moment, the guards and soldiers around them reacted and immediately formed an organization, surrounding the two of them.

Li Lin didn't speak, but watched the two people being engulfed by an endless stream of paper figures.
