In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 272 The Demise of the Bai Family
"Ok?"

Jiang Daqiu was stunned and said, "You still don't know?"

Xie Lingxin shrugged: "Should I know?"

"You've already been promoted, shouldn't you know?"

"...Uncle Jiang!"

Seeing that he was annoyed, Jiang Daqiu stopped teasing him and coughed, "The new district... this new district, it has something to do with you."

"Hmm? It has something to do with me?"

"Yes, that's the towering pagoda."

Jiang Daqiu said, "You were the first to discover this. Because of this thing and the Great Zhou Domain, the Federation decided to set up a special zone centered on it."

"As you know, the Tongtian Pagoda and the Great Zhou Domain are very special. Putting everything else aside, the fact that they allow people to live an extra life is enough to make people flock to them."

Xie Lingxin nodded.

This is true.

If I hadn't entered this Human Realm and lived for over 70 years longer, it would have taken me at least several more years to cultivate to the sixth level of the Mind Realm, and the amount of money and resources I would have spent during that time would have been enormous.

How could it be like this now, where people can both eat and take?
"I heard that the new special economic zone is about integrating the four cities of Donghai, Leizhou, Maozhou, and Zhanzhou, making them one city in the future."

"Of course, the administrative level has also been raised. It has been separated from the Far East District and is now under its own jurisdiction and autonomy, only one level lower than the Far East District."

"With the integration of the four cities, all aspects will naturally need to be integrated, including our Environmental Protection Bureau."

"So, you got promoted at the perfect time, kid. From a deputy head of the city's special operations department, you've become the deputy head of the regional special operations department. You've really risen to the top!"

"Oh...ber! You're the one who's ascended to heaven!"

Xie Lingxin was also quite shocked.

Not only were Donghai and Leizhou integrated, but Maozhou and Zhanzhou were also brought in.

Zhanzhou is adjacent to Leizhou and Donghai, while Maozhou is next to Zhanzhou.

Topographically, the four cities surround the East China Sea, forming a bay.

Taken together, the area is quite large, ranking among the top five in the Far East Star, and the population is nearly 200 million.

What a big deal!

Jiang Daqiu, slumped over the table, said, "However, don't be too happy yet. The merger of the four cities, although led by the Federation, is something that can't be changed."

"But there are many things to consider here. After the merger, who will be in charge and who will be secondary? There are only so many positions, so who will rise and who will fall?"

“All kinds of resources also need to be redistributed.”

"These kinds of things, you could probably beat a dog's brain out of a human brain!"

"You're all alone, and so young, yet you've already taken such an important position. Do you think anyone else would be happy about that?"

"Leizhou is alright, though. The merged new district has already joined the ranks of first-tier cities in the Far East Star. In first-tier cities, except for a few special cases, only those with titles can hold the position of division chief."

"Although there is no explicit rule, it is a tacit unspoken rule."

"You just barely made it off this line, but what can you do when you're young? Youth is your weakness, but it's also your greatest asset!"

"Normally it would be fine, but things are different now. Even though the General Administration has issued an announcement, it wouldn't be difficult for them to cause you trouble. You'd better be careful and cautious in everything you do!"

Xie Lingxin stroked her chin and nodded seriously: "Hmm...not bad, there will definitely be some troublemakers who want to harm me."

Jiang Daqiu: "..."

"Ding~"

Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was from someone called "Old Bao".

Who is it?

Xie Lingxin was stunned for a moment before she remembered that he was a professor at Seven Star Academy.

Lao Bao: Xiao Xie, didn't Professor Wen say you could come back to teach? I've scheduled a class for you this afternoon, can you come over?

Class? Oh yeah...

Xie Ling thought for a moment and replied: No problem.

A single class costs a lot of money, and as one of the top cultivation academies in the Far East, Seven Star Academy has considerable power and abundant resources.

The title of "college teacher" is still worth keeping.

Having just resolved the legendary pollution issue in Xicheng District, the Environmental Protection Bureau is swamped with trivial matters, but there's not much that he can actually be of use.
Time flew by as Hua Shui and Jiang Daqiu chatted idly.

In the afternoon, I went to Qixing Academy and taught a class on ancient scriptures to a group of students I hadn't seen in a long time.

In reality, he just bragged, talked about the past, and gave his opinions on the state of the country.

After just one class, I made 92,000!

All told, he still has a net worth of over 40 million. This amount of money is not much, but little by little, it adds up, and that's how a tycoon becomes rich!

Back home, I casually ordered a batch of spiritual plants, spending ten million in one go!

This is quite a large order. The shop gave me a discount of 10%, so it's 110 plants of *Zhucao*!
That should be enough for him to cultivate to the fifth level of physical body cultivation.

After calmly cultivating the Cloud Thunder Diagram and the Tribulation Fire Diagram for a while, he seemed to have some understanding, but not much. He still had no clue how to reverse his innate nature.

When in doubt... consult Journey to the West!
Xie Lingxin started copying the book again.

This book has been copied many times in the Great Zhou Dynasty, from which I have benefited greatly. The fact that I was able to cultivate to the sixth level of the Mind Realm in that environment is largely due to copying the book.

However, he still felt that he had not explored even a fraction of the potential of this book.

……

late at night.

Donghai City, Donghai Building.

"Jin Luochuan! Are you really going to go this far!?"

Bai Donglai, who was known as the King of the East Sea, was in a slightly disheveled state at this moment, angrily shouting at Jin Luochuan, the director of the East Sea Environmental Protection Bureau.

This iconic building of the Bai family is now under strict lockdown.

Meanwhile, the Bai family, who were once all-powerful in the East China Sea, are now also confined to their own homes, unable to leave even a step.

No one in Donghai could push them to this extent, but this time, it was a joint operation by the four cities of Donghai, Leizhou, Zhanzhou, and Maozhou.

The Bai family had absolutely no chance of resistance.

They were all captured, from top to bottom.

Jin Luochuan and Bai Donglai had known each other for many years, and he felt reluctant to do so. However, he was not alone in the group; people from the other three cities were also watching him closely, leaving him no room for leniency.

"Bai Donglai, if you have anyone to blame, blame yourself for having a son like Bai Shenji,"

"Worshiping evil gods, creating pollution, causing numerous casualties—for this one crime alone, he has no chance of escaping punishment!" "As for your Bai family…whether you colluded or not, once we've investigated, we'll clear your name."

"Now, I advise you to obediently surrender and await investigation!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Bai Donglai laughed loudly, his voice filled with a desolate and forlorn tone.

"Innocence? Today, my Bai family has fallen into the jaws of you wolves and tigers. How can we still claim innocence?"

"Do you think I don't know what you people are thinking? You've probably already chopped up the Bai family into pieces and divided up the filth!"

Jin Luochuan remained silent, then turned around and said, "Bai Zangji, go and persuade your father."

As he spoke, he walked to the side and turned his back.

Bai Zangji was pale and trembling all over.

Hongxiao, standing to the side, worriedly advised, "Captain Bai, don't be impulsive. The matter is already settled. At least the Bai family still has you. If you get involved too, the Bai family will be finished."

"Bai Zangji!"

Bai Zangji was still struggling between his duty to the public and his family when Bai Donglai roared:
"You unfilial son! Now that you're here, there's no need to waste your breath!"

"From this day forward, you are no longer my son, Bai Donglai! Our father-son relationship is severed, and we shall have no further connection!"

Bai Zangji's body jolted violently.

Bai Donglai gave him no chance, unleashing a terrifying aura.

Blood energy surged from above, and a giant blood dragon stretched for thousands of meters, baring its fangs and brandishing its tail.

It's so lifelike, it almost looks like a real dragon!
"Jin Luochuan! The Bai family's actions have never required anyone else's opinion! If you want to eliminate the Bai family, then take action; there's no need for pretense!"

"hold head high!"

His blood energy surged, sounding like the roar of a true dragon.

A fierce wind arose, making it almost impossible for anyone to stand, except for a few titled experts around.

Jin Luochuan shook his head and sighed, then waved his hand: "Take Bai Zangji away."

"Do it!"

"boom!"

A great battle broke out.

A battle between titled powerhouses is enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

The East China Sea is destined to have a sleepless night...

……

Leizhou.

Tonggu Bay.

There is a residential area near the former site of Leigong Village.

This is where villagers from Leigong Village who were relocated due to demolition are resettled.

A creature with a tiger's head and a dog's body leaped and frolicked between the houses.

This is auspicious for wealth!

The area around Leigong Village was the land that Xie Lingxin had designated as her community, essentially making it her territory.

It naturally prefers to be active here.

"Ow?"

Wangcai's two fluffy round ears suddenly stood up.

It sensed an extremely evil aura.

It's a bit familiar...

He leaped into the air and ran swiftly towards the place he sensed.

In its territory, no one can escape its senses!
Under the cover of darkness, streams of black smoke suddenly erupted from the ground.

They coalesced into a hunched-over human figure.

A monster with almost no skin, exposed flesh, and a belly as big as a drum could be vaguely seen.

"Xie Lingxin..."

"You ruined my grand plan, severed my path, and destroyed my Bai family... I will never forgive you!"

"Ow!"

Who are you sworn enemies with?
Before the monster could move, a strange creature with a white head and a black body landed in front of it.

Strangely, he could understand the howling of this creature.

"Ouch!"

I'm asking you! You filthy, hungry ghost, how dare you utter your master's name with your filthy mouth?
"Master? You're Xie Lingxin's dog! Roar!"

Bai Shenji roared, his mouth opening like a blood basin, and a gust of wind suddenly arose.

He even sucked the ground apart, causing sand and stones to fly and pour into his mouth.

"Ouch——!"

Wangcai wasn't afraid at all; its white tiger head suddenly grew larger.

Its tiny body, topped with a giant head a hundred times larger, is extremely bizarre.

With a roar, it opened its massive maw and swallowed Bai Shenji whole.

Before he could even react, Wangcai had already restored his head to its normal size and let out a loud burp.

A look of disdain flashed in the tiger's eyes.

How dare a mere hungry ghost be so insolent in front of this great god?
Don't you know that besides incense offerings, gods love to eat evil spirits?
I wonder how many people this thing has eaten?
Wangcai discovered that this guy actually possessed an extremely large amount of blood energy and soul.

If he were to digest all that blood and spirit, even within his own territory, it might not be possible to subdue him.

It will take some time for it to digest all of it now.

So they ran towards the old site of Leigong Village, which was its sacred domain.

It digests faster in the divine realm!
……

The next day.

Xie Lingxin arrived at the police station and heard news from the neighboring city of Donghai...
