Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Qingzhou, Linquan City!

Linquan City is located in the southeast, with flat terrain and abundant rainfall. It is one of the famous granaries in Qingzhou.

At noon, Linquan City was extremely busy, with shops along the streets everywhere and small vendors selling goods on shoulder poles.

In the past few years since Guiling Palace took over Qingzhou, the order in Qingzhou has improved visibly. As long as you are willing to raise insects or farm for Guiling Palace, or work in the factory opened by Guiling Palace, you can support a whole family without worrying about going hungry.

Located in the southwest of Linquan City, there is Cypress Street. Unlike other bustling places, the atmosphere here is quiet and peaceful.

Because these are not residential houses, but mansions and houses, which are obviously the residences of wealthy families.

Those who live here are all the wealthy and powerful families in Linquan City.

The most luxurious of them all is a mansion with carved beams and painted rafters. In front of the door, bluestone Pixiu sit on both sides. Inside the mansion, there are gilded curtains, rockery and lotus ponds, and groups of servants coming and going, all of which demonstrate the strength and background of the owner.

This is the location of the Du family in Linquan City.

The Du family is a family of cultivators that has been passed down in Linquan City for more than 400 years and has a large fortune.

The Du family is not only engaged in business, dealing with both the black and white worlds, but also has considerable wealth. They own 16 spiritual fields and medicinal valleys, a purple glass mine, two miniature spiritual stone veins, and even a small blessed spiritual vein near Linquan City, Yuhuang Mountain, is owned by the Du family.

He also owns countless other shops and land deeds, making him the largest landlord in Linquan City.

It was only because Guiling Palace introduced the relevant plan that the Du family rented out most of their land and handed it over to Guiling Palace, which then handed it over to ordinary farmers for unified mechanized farming.

But even so, the power and financial resources retained by the Du family are still enough to be considered wealthy and powerful, and can satisfy the cultivation needs of their children.

In order to protect the family business and wealth, the Du family has more than 300 disciples, but they are all in the Yunling Realm, and most of them are below the third level of the Yunling Realm. But there is also an ancestor in the Mizang Realm, who is the key to the Du family maintaining such a large business.

"Master, the young master is still in Cui Lian Tower."

In the lobby of the Du family, an old butler lowered his head and gave a report in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Du Yu, the current head of the Du family, who was drinking tea, suddenly turned pale.

"Asshole, he went to hang out with his bad friends again, and never completed his training in a single day. I have been wise all my life, but how could I have given birth to such a wicked son?"

As he said this, he slammed the table so hard that the tea on the table began to shake.

The servants around felt the master's low pressure and became silent.

"Send someone to bring this evil boy back to me immediately."

Du Ming was furious. The old butler gave a look and someone immediately ran out of the mansion to the brothels to bring the young master back.

"Elder Chu, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Du Ming turned his head and looked at the white-haired old man sitting opposite him.

The old man's hair and beard are all white, but his skin does not look old. He has a youthful face and a noble temperament, and he looks like an immortal.

"It's okay. It's normal for young people to like to have fun. They will mature when they get older."

Chu Qingchen stroked his beard and spoke with a smile.

He is a cultivator from Qingzhou, with the cultivation level of Secret Treasure Realm, and comes from the Tiangang Valley of the Orthodox Sect.

Tiangang Valley's annual recruitment is about to begin. Chu Qingchen comes here only because the Du family has a friendship with the current leader of Tiangang Valley. So every year Tiangang Valley will make an exception and accept a group of young men and women from the Du family into Tiangang Valley to practice, and then let them go home after a few years.

"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, Elder Chu. My son has decent talent, but he has never been able to settle down at home. I hope that after he has been in your sect for a few years, his temper can be improved."

Du Ming calmly took out a box and handed it to Chu Qingchen: "Elder Chu, please take good care of my useless son in Tiangang Valley to prevent him from causing any trouble."

"Master Du, you are too polite. Our Tiangang Valley is not the Demonic Ghost Ridge Palace. In our Tiangang Valley, brothers and sisters are always friendly and kind. We will never let him suffer any grievances."

Chu Qingchen originally wanted to refuse, but when a corner of the box was opened, revealing neatly stacked pieces of mid-grade spirit stones inside, he immediately gave a guarantee with a righteous look on his face.

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble Elder Chu. I've prepared a meal, and I must not leave until I'm drunk tonight."

Du Ming was delighted and bowed repeatedly.

As he was speaking, the old butler's pants suddenly vibrated.

He stretched out his hand and took out a small metal object from his trousers. It was the new puppet mechanism produced by Guiling Palace - a mobile phone.

This thing called a mobile phone is very magical. It can communicate across thousands of miles and has many novel functions. It has already become popular in Qingzhou.

The old butler took small steps back, fearing that he would disturb the master, so he went outside the door before answering the phone.

But as he listened, his expression changed.

At the same time, noisy sounds could be heard faintly outside the mansion.

"What's that noise? Who is making noise outside?"

Hearing the noise, Du Ming frowned. "Master, something bad has happened. Someone from Guiling Palace is coming."

At this moment, the old butler rushed into the room in two steps and said nervously, "I heard from the concierge that a large number of people have come to Guiling Palace and are visiting the wealthy families on Cypress Street one by one. It seems that they are here with bad intentions."

"Ghost Ridge Palace!"

Du Ming and Chu Qingchen's faces changed, and they couldn't help but shudder when they heard these three words.

In the past, they would definitely not react like this when they heard about Guiling Palace. At that time, Guiling Palace was just a demonic sect entrenched in the deep mountains and forests.

But with Su Jie's rise to power, the Guiling Palace now dominates Qingzhou, Qingzhou and Chongzhou. The leader Su Jie is a powerful Purple Mansion master, a giant in the magic way, and has tremendous cultivation.

Recently, Tantric Buddhism was destroyed, resulting in the deaths of three Purple Palace monks.

In Qingzhou, Guiling Palace is undoubtedly the absolute overlord, as majestic as a prison.

"What is Guiling Palace doing here?"

Du Ming had a bad feeling in his heart. The last time Guiling Palace came to visit, they asked the Du family to give up the land.

At that time, the Du family was limited by the reputation of Guiling Palace and did not dare to ask for an exorbitant price, so they took the initiative to offer the land.

Thinking of this, Du Ming didn't bother to chat with Chu Qingchen and walked quickly towards the entrance of the mansion.

Chu Qingchen put away the box, hesitated for a moment, and followed Du Ming.

He was also wondering why Guiling Palace was approaching these noble families. It couldn't be that they were here to recruit disciples like him.

Guiling Palace has now become the overlord of three states. There are so many talented disciples who want to join Guiling Palace that the palace has no shortage of disciples.

Soon, at the gate of Du Mansion, Du Ming saw the visitors from Guiling Palace.

Thirty-six Spider main battle mechas were lined up in a row. The Tianyuan-type Spider main battle mechas, which were powered by spirit stones and equipped with protective and offensive formations, as well as various heavy firepower from the Blue Star, were more than one level higher in strength than the Blue Star models.

In addition, there are two hundred disciples wearing biological costumes. These biological costumes are also suitable for the Tianyuan environment. Those who wear them are all young disciples at the first and second levels of the Yunling Realm.

Disciples of this level do not have enough strength of their own, and their poisonous insects have not yet grown, so they often cannot exert much power. However, wearing bio-colonial suits can greatly enhance their strength, at least doubling their ability to survive. In addition, the price of bio-colonial suits is not expensive, and they have become standard equipment for disciples of Guiling Palace.

Standing at the front of the crowd were a dozen inner disciples wearing black robes. Most of them had poisonous insects in their bodies, and one could tell where they came from at a glance.

There were also three men wearing purple robes. In Guiling Palace, only the elders in the Secret Treasury Realm could wear purple robes. Other disciples were not qualified to wear them.

Seeing this scene, Du Ming's heart beat wildly. He did not dare to be negligent and hurried out to greet them.

"Greetings from the Guiling Palace, I am Du Ming, the Patriarch of the Du Family, and I am sorry for not coming in person to welcome you."

Du Ming walked quickly to the Guiling Palace staff with a warm smile on his face.

It was then that Du Ming noticed that these people from Guiling Palace did not only visit their Du Mansion. Many of the wealthy and powerful families living on Cypress Street had their doors knocked on by the disciples of Guiling Palace and had people from Guiling Palace enter their houses.

"The Du family!"

The leader was a middle-aged elder from the Secret Treasure Realm of Guiling Palace. He held two iron balls in his hands, making a sound of gold and jade colliding.

But if you look closely, you will find two iron galls, which are two jade-boned golden beetles.

The Guiling Palace elder slowly turned around, glanced at Du Ming, and said calmly, "I am Wu Xin, the elder of Guiling Palace. I heard about the Du family's reputation and came here to pay a visit. I hope I didn't disturb the Du family's interest."

"It is an honor for our Du family to have Elder Wu here. Please come in quickly.

Du Ming smiled apologetically. He still didn't know what the Guiling Palace's intention was, but he knew he must not offend them.

Wu Xin did not move, but said calmly: "The Du family is the largest family in Linquan City. They are extremely wealthy and have spiritual fields and spiritual mines. They can produce 500,000 kilograms of spiritual rice every year and sell it far and wide. There are also officials from the capital serving in Dali City, right?"

"No, no, my Du family's small business is not worthy of the attention of Guiling Palace."

Du Ming became more and more uneasy, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

When Wu Xin heard the details of the Du family's assets, he inexplicably had a feeling that he was like a pig raised for the New Year in a farmer's home. After being fattened up for the New Year, the farmer would stare at it with a sharp knife.

Hearing the noise, more and more members of the Du family ran out. Looking at the scene, they dared not even breathe.

Chu Qingchen was also in the crowd. When he saw the soldiers of Guiling Palace, he suddenly thought of the rumors he had heard recently within the sect.

It is said that Guiling Palace is going to build some wonders this year, and ask all the righteous sects to pay tribute with large amounts of spiritual materials.

Could it be related to this?
Wu Xin was holding two jade-bone golden beetles in his hands. He patted Du Ming on the shoulder with his empty left hand and said, "Why are you being so polite, Master Du? It just so happens that our clan leader is planning to build a wonder to shock the world. You, the Du family, must show your appreciation."

As he spoke, Wu Xin took out a contract and spread it out in front of Du Ming.

Du Ming only took a glance and immediately turned pale as paper, sweating profusely, because the various treaties on it were simply bleeding the Du family. (End of this chapter)
