Chapter 258 Whereabouts of Lord Zhuo Ling
Previously, people from all walks of life had entered the blessed land, but only a few were truly qualified to compete for the "Nine Great Guardians" and the "Supreme Guardian".

Among them, many humans, monsters, evil spirits, and even strange creatures, their initial thought when entering the ancient monuments was to hope for opportunities.

It is often a great blessing to be able to hold on to the end and be baptized by "the sun and the moon rising together".

Among the human beings who entered the ancient ruins at that time, most of them had low cultivation and had not yet reached the realm of refining essence, and many of them were people who burned incense.

Their role is to observe the "ancient town scenes" inside, hoping to obtain some "lost" skills from them that will be helpful to contemporary human civilization.

For example, in recent days, a new "loom" has been added in Gaoliu City, which is used to weave cloth, saving time and labor.

Recently, a special wooden wheeled cart has been reproduced, which can reduce the impact and facilitate the transportation of goods.

"The people who discovered these records were the incense burners in Lu Changsheng Temple. They followed orders and went to the blessed land specifically for the 'ancient books' from the very beginning."

Mr. Lu stroked his beard slightly and said, "They broke into an old man's house and got these records. After many days of deciphering, they gained a lot."

Then I listened to Mr. Lu's detailed narration again.

This old man was also a scholar when he was young. He once entered the Tianhuo Temple and served beside Qingling Gong, being responsible for taking notes.

According to his own account, he was the main writer of the record documents, but in fact, he was roughly equivalent to the person who burns incense in Liuzun Temple today.

Later, when he got older, he moved out of the Tianhuo Temple and lived in a town, where he was respected by everyone.

In his later years, he compiled a book about the "Palace of Heavenly Fire", which recorded the events of the visitor from the underworld.

Not long after, the ghost night invaded.

At that time, something had gone wrong in the Tianhuo Temple where Lord Qingling lived.

After all, this old man had walked out of the Qinglinggong Temple. He relied on the support of the gods and was respected by his neighbors, so he accepted everyone's request and went to investigate the strange things in the dark!

After that, there was no news from him.

Just based on the "roles played" by other people, it can be inferred that when the old man was dealing with the third strange incident, he was also contaminated by the strange aura of the night and completely lost control.

As Mr. Lu spoke, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The young man from Hades!
Although he called himself a junior, Lord Qingling treated him with great respect!
The Lord Qingling of those days sat firmly on a blessed land and protected all living beings. In terms of his cultivation skills, as well as his status and position, he must have been the best in the world!

The person who came should not be underestimated as he has attracted so much attention from Lord Qingling.

"But if you count carefully, it's been more than three thousand years."

Lord Lu spoke up and said, "According to the current records, even if he is at the Refining God Realm that created the Inner Scenery God Realm, it is impossible for him to have survived for so many years... unless he is an old god from the underworld!"

"Since he calls himself a junior, he obviously can't be an ancient old god!"

Lin Yan pondered and said, "Let's not talk about these old things. Since the clue lies in the remnant of Lord Qingling... we must find him!"

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "He was chosen by me for your second brother. All parties have been paying close attention to him these days."

"The Zhaoye people sent news earlier that he called himself Lord Zhuo Ling and appeared on the edge of Linhai City."

"Later, he traveled eastward, passed through the Three Gods Valley, and should have entered the territory of Dongshan Prefecture."

"We cannot interfere with the affairs of Dongshan Prefecture, but Lord Zhuo Ling is involved in clues about the 'shackles and keys', and this matter is related to the safety of the Holy Lord."

"The Holy Land governs the three prefectures. Since they have invited us to do something, I believe the current Holy Lord has also arranged for strong men from Dongshan Prefecture to provide support."

At this point, Lord Lu pondered and said, "The Holy Lord is now extremely cautious. This matter finally fell on us, and it must have been carefully selected by the Holy Lord! The people from Dongshan Mansion should be the same!"

Han Zheng pondered and said, "When do we leave?"

Lord Lu frowned slightly and said, "This Holy Lord is the highest official in the Holy Land. His decisions involve major events in the three prefectures."

"If the Holy Lord's Supreme Mysterious Dao Supreme Sainthood cannot be fully restored, all decisions will be affected."

"A decision may seem ordinary, but once it spreads to the cities of the three prefectures, it will affect thousands of people!"

"Helping the Holy Lord recover, in my eyes, is to stabilize the overall situation of the three prefectures. The sooner the better, otherwise something might happen!"

After Lord Lu said this, he added: "What's more, after the matter is completed, we can go to Qifeng City and obtain the landscaping method passed down by the Holy Lord."

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "You have reached the end of your path in the Qi Refining Realm. If you want to go one step further, you will reach the level of the 'Spirit Refining Realm'!"

“I have no doubt that you can achieve the Spirit Refining Realm, but the path of this world is filled with endless hidden dangers!”

"And according to our previous calculations, if the order of the cultivation path after the Qi Refining Stage is reversed, it may be able to change the hidden dangers of the Spirit Refining Stage."

"Whether this initial concept of a road can eventually pave a perfect path for future generations of human beings remains to be seen!"

"This requires you to practice the art of landscape creation, as the first person to open up a path."

"You have enough cultivation. As long as you get the method of landscape creation, you can try it. If you delay for one more day, this matter will be delayed by one day."

"You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders now. Go back and make proper arrangements and set off as soon as possible."

Following Mr. Lu's words, Lin Yan did not hesitate. He nodded and walked out.

-

In Linjiangsi.

"Master Wu is going out again?"

Chief Yang's hair was half white, and he looked haggard. He said helplessly, "Speaking of which, we are from the southern branch of the outer city of the Jiantian Division, a small division stationed in Linjiangfang!"

"I am only the chief clerk of a local branch office, earning only a few taels of silver every month. I am neither the head of the Outer South Division nor the head of the main building of the Jiantian Division. Why do you always put all the burden on me?"

"Even the chief of the highest heavenly supervisor in Qifeng City is not as busy as me."

"I have to monitor the entire outer city and the expansion of the new city. You will bury me in the ground at least twenty years in advance!"

"This job seems glamorous, with great power in hand, but you can't embezzle a single cent. It's just hard work, dealing with a myriad of things every day, and it's hard to go home. The salary is meager, and it's really hard to sustain..."

Yang Zhubu had a sad face. After not seeing him for a few days, he even changed the word "subordinate" to "old man" when referring to himself.

"This one……"

Lin Yan reached into his bosom, took out a document, and said calmly: "This morning, I was in the main building of the Jiantian Division and asked the commander to approve the document."

"During the expansion of the new city, I was promoted to deputy inspector of the new city. As for my salary..."

"Starting from this month, you will be treated as a general flag bearer. However, if you are not a martial artist, the elixirs and medicinal bath materials will be converted into silver!"

Hearing this, Yang Zhubu's eyes gradually lit up.

Lin Yan silently put the document into his arms and said, "Originally, this was a document for you to apply for, but since you are so tired, I can't help but be considerate of my subordinates! Let's change someone tomorrow, and change the name on this document to Liu Yuqing..."

"Fifth Master!" Yang Zhubu put on his hat, secretly pinched his waist, and immediately straightened up, saying proudly: "Fifth Master values ​​me so much, how can I refuse the important task? We can't trust outsiders, so we still have to use our old subordinates..."

He patted his clothes and said, "Don't worry, Master Wu. You can go on your way without any worries. I will definitely take care of the rest!"

"You are too tired." Lin Yan said softly.

"Not tired at all. You don't know that I, Yang, have been very powerful recently, shocking all forces and enjoying unlimited glory!" Yang Zhubu said proudly, "It is all thanks to the protection of the Fifth Master that I am where I am today!"

"The salary has increased, is it enough?" Lin Yan suddenly spoke again.

"Enough!" Yang Zhubu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Master. I'm not stupid. I know you hate evil, but you still dare to abuse your power and embezzle. Isn't that courting death?"

"Most of the Liu family's people were sentenced to hard labor, and the City Defense Office agreed to let you deploy them! When I return this time, what can you do?" Lin Yan said lightly.

"The southern area leads directly to the city, so the expansion will be put last. Also, the ground collapsed last night and the mountains rose and fell, so it's inevitable that it will be slower..."

Yang Zhubu said: "Construction has already started in other directions. When Fifth Master returns, except for the south area, at least the preliminary construction of the first block of the new city will be completed in the other seven directions!"

Lin Yan nodded and said, "The sooner it is completed, the sooner people can move in, and fewer people will die... It's already winter, and many people will die outside. The sooner the better!"

"My subordinates understand."

Yang Zhubu said: "The biggest resistance before was from various forces, secretly extracting materials, like blood-sucking leeches!"

"Now the Fifth Master has frightened them and cleared away all obstacles. With the Fifth Master's fierce power, he is enough to prevent future troubles. In the future, there will surely be no one looking for death!"

"Without these guys getting in the way, if we put our full efforts into the construction, it shouldn't be slow."

At this point, Yang Zhubu whispered, "I have seen Liu Yuqing before. He was supposed to take over the share of the new city expansion that fell on the Liu family. He is a good hand!"

Lin Yan laughed.

He also knew that Liu Yuqing was able to wait for him, and that the commander must have used some tricks to help him.

If he was not an expert in city building, the commander might not be willing to show leniency and allow Liu Yuqing to see him.

According to normal procedures, perhaps after a period of severe torture and the secrets and secret methods were revealed, the person would be directly dealt with.

"Everyone knows that I am leaving the city this time. Perhaps people are unsettled and there are still some who are not afraid of death because of the huge benefits." Lin Yan said calmly: "Don't relax in this regard."

"I understand." Yang Zhubu laughed and said, "If someone embezzles materials for the new city expansion, his family will be confiscated and his clan will be exterminated. The Liu family was destroyed for this, so the major forces will not dare to move again! Most of them are just some dirty thieves, but we can handle them!"

In fact, at this point in time, given Wuchang's notorious reputation, it wouldn't have much of an impact if he went out of town and came back within a few days.

After all, the last time he went to the blessed land, he went on a killing spree when he came back, even killing the ancestor of the Liu family.

In order to protect Lord Lu, he killed many powerful men in succession, including the ancestors of the Bai and Sun families.

To this day, his ferocious power is known to everyone in Gaoliu City, and no one dares to challenge him!
"General Han and Deputy Commander Zhou will fully assist the Linjiang Division."

"If we don't have enough manpower, we can ask Wainansi for it!"

"If you don't have enough experts, ask the Inner City Division for help!"

"In a word, the expansion of the new city has been successfully completed. My merits are enough to be promoted to the commander of the new city!"

"When that time comes, you will be the highest official under me, with the same status as the old official who is currently serving the Inner City Commander."

Lin Yan looked at Yang Zhubu, his eyes full of encouragement.

In the past, Lin Yan just disdained to make big promises, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to do it.

Only by combining kindness and severity can we achieve long-term success!
Yang Zhubu has worked hard and made great contributions. He should be promoted in both position and salary.

Lin Yan patted his shoulder, and then thought of something and said, "In this world, if you have too much power and too little strength, you can't last long!"

"You hold great power. Whether it's Jie Jin or someone who harbors jealousy in their hearts, they might send someone to kill you!"

"If they send assassins, it will be difficult for them to avenge you in the end."

"Here I have some top-grade talismans from the Liuzun Temple. I'll give you nine of them for your escape."

As Lin Yan took out the talisman.

Yang Zhubu showed a look of delight, but then asked in surprise: "We?"

Lin Yan said calmly: "It is enough for you to keep one. You are just a weak scholar, and people will not give you a second chance to burn the talisman! In Gaoliu City, before the talisman burns out, someone will definitely come to help! Give the rest to Meng Lu and Xiao Hui. After all, they are the ones who really fight with knives, so they are actually more useful..."

At this point, Lin Yan laughed and said, "However, I will lend you a helper. This person is very capable. There are not many people in Gaoliu City who can stop him!"

"Helper? Who?"

"Li Shenzong!"

"what?"

"I'm lending this to you. When I get back to the city, return it to me!"

Lin Yan laughed, left the scroll containing Li Shenzong's Qi seed, and then walked out.

Now Lin Yan can use evil energy to restore his true energy, which is inexhaustible. As long as there is enough evil energy, he will not be exhausted!

Therefore, for Lin Yan, who can always maintain his peak performance, the role of this painting is not too important.

What's more, this time, as he is traveling with Mr. Lu who is in the Spirit Refining Realm, he basically has no use for this scroll.

But when the scroll was placed in the hands of Yang Zhubu, he would reveal a guard at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm!
Yang Zhubu holds great power and handles all matters big and small for himself. He is an extremely rare talent.

It is precisely because of people like Yang Zhubu that Lin Yan can leave the city with peace of mind.

Therefore, even though Li Shenzong's scroll is extremely precious and a rare treasure in the world, Lin Yan is willing to lend it to Yang Zhubu to save his life.

As soon as he walked out of Linjiangsi, Lin Yan saw a group of people preparing to leave the city.

The leader was the chief of the Six Meridians.

Beside him is the Thirteenth Young Master.

Behind him are four leaders and six disciples.

But at the city gate, there were still two people waiting.

Li Xuantong, the son of the governor of Qifeng Prefecture, and his guards.

Afterwards, Lin Yan noticed that the Six Veins Leader was looking at him with a slightly cold gaze.
