He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 456 Who Went to the Wrong Place
The Lu family residence is a newly powerful clan that has just been integrated into the family.

This place was built not long ago and is not as large as it is in later generations.

There are only a few members of the Lu family left, but over the years they have each found some women and given birth to many children.

In this way, it will be able to prosper again in another hundred or eighty years.

At this time, the great-grandfather of the Lu family stood in the courtyard with a secret letter spread out in his hand.

"The secret letter has been delivered. Goodbye." Standing opposite him was a middle-aged man in a scarlet Taoist robe.

The other party was a disciple of Zhu Dao Sect. Even though Lu's great ancestor's cultivation was much higher than his, he still politely bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoist."

He nodded slightly to the disciple of Zhu Daomen, and then flew away.

The Lu family's great-grandfather stared at the secret letter in his hand with a gloomy look.

There were only five words in the letter: "Master Hong is coming."

The Lu family's great-grandfather naturally knew who Master Hong was, perhaps even better than most people here.

The Lu clan members have also realized that they seem to have been brought into the past history.

Jiang Lin, the little blacksmith, has transformed himself into the legendary ancestor of blacksmiths here.

"Master Hong?" The Lu family's great-grandfather had a grim expression. He also knew what Jiang Lin would do after he arrived.

The two sides are as hostile as fire and water, and are bound to fight to the death.

Until now, the Lu clan has never revealed Jiang Lin's background to anyone.

Because they have the advantage of knowing history, they can integrate so easily into the powerful clan system of this era.

If they exposed Jiang Lin, they would be exposing themselves.

If this matter were known to other people, it might not have much impact on Jiang Lin, but for the Lu family, it would be a matter of life and death.

No one can tell whether the deceived powerful clans can resist causing trouble for them.

Therefore, even though the Taoist priest sent a secret letter from someone unknown, the Lu family's great-grandfather never thought of exposing Jiang Lin's past.

Just looking at those five words, he seemed to smell the scent of blood.

"Even if you become the ancestor of blacksmiths here, it's not that easy to touch our Lu family!"

The great-grandfather of the Lu family snorted coldly, crushed the secret letter, and then went to find the great-grandfather of the Lu family.

Then, the two Daowu realm masters acted separately and went to the homes of other powerful clans.

Under the effect of the third magic weapon, Jiang Lin traveled a hundred miles in an instant.

A large amount of heaven and earth's vital energy was directly swallowed up through the air without almost any rest.

Not long after, he arrived above Lin'an Prefecture.

He fell directly into the imperial palace. Outside the imperial study, a large number of guards immediately flew over.

When he saw it was Jiang Lin, he retreated again.

Everyone knows the relationship between Jiang Lin and Daqian.

In this palace, he is the only one who does not need to follow any etiquette.

On the contrary, Commander-in-Chief Ma Ningyan and Emperor Gu Anning had to take the initiative to salute him when they saw him.

"Where is His Majesty?" Jiang Lin asked.

"In reply to Master Hong, His Majesty is reading memorials in the Imperial Study." A guard replied.

Jiang Lin nodded and then went to the imperial study.

Without needing to be informed, he pushed the door open and walked in.

Gu An Ning sat in front of a large desk, concentrating on handling government affairs.

He frowned, obviously encountering some difficulties.

When Daqian was first established, many things needed to be rebuilt.

However, due to years of fighting, there was a lack of opportunity to rest.

The most troublesome thing is especially in those cities that have just been conquered, where the people have not yet completely submitted.

Every day a large number of memorials were sent to the Imperial Study, including natural disasters, man-made disasters, and countless other affairs.

Although Gu An Ning heard Jiang Lin's footsteps coming in, she didn't pay much attention to it, and didn't even bother to look up.

Jiang Lin didn't disturb him. He walked to the desk and stopped, looking at the giant map drawn by Ma Ningyan herself.

This map will exist in the Daqian Imperial Study for hundreds of years.

Every emperor will always remember who his future enemies will be and how insignificant he himself is.

After a long time, Gu An Ning finally put down his pen and memorials tiredly.

He looked up and was surprised to see Jiang Lin standing there.

"Grandpa, when did you come?"

"I've been here for a while, but I saw you were very busy and didn't say anything." Jiang Lin said.

Gu An Ning came out from behind the desk in surprise and said, "Are you coming back this time to give a gift to that girl Chai En? She wrote to me and wanted to invite us to a full moon banquet."

Chai En, Jiang Lin will naturally go there.

Just looking at Gu An Ning's happy face, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing that he remained silent, Gu An Ning's smile gradually faded.

He seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help showing a little uneasiness.

"Grandpa, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Lin sighed and said, "I'm going to kill Lu."

"Then kill him!" Gu An Ning said without hesitation.

He had never had a good impression of the powerful clans, so it would be better to kill them all.

"I will leave after you kill them all." Jiang Lin said again.

Gu An Ning's face turned slightly pale. He had already guessed it, but didn't want to say it out loud.

Now that Jiang Lin spoke frankly, Gu An Ning's heart was inevitably stirred.

It’s just that he has been the emperor for so long that his character has been tempered.

Even though he was sad and full of reluctance, he just asked, "Does mother know?"

"I know." Jiang Lin nodded: "I came back just to tell you."

Gu An Ning gave a somewhat forced smile and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for your concern."

"I don't have much time, and I have to go see that girl's child." Jiang Lin said.

Gu An Ning nodded and took a step forward.

Jiang Lin also turned around and walked outside step by step.

Both of them knew that after this separation, they didn't know how long it would take for them to meet again, so they deliberately slowed down their pace.

However, no matter how slowly you walk, you will eventually reach the end.

Standing outside the threshold of the imperial study, Jiang Lin said, "No need to send me off."

Gu An Ning nodded, and Jiang Lin turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Grandpa, where in the world is it that you have to go there instead of staying here?"

Jiang Lin didn't look back, but he could hear deep reluctance and confusion in the tone.

Yes, he is not second to none in Daqian, but he is above everyone else.

Neither Ma Ningyan nor Gu An Ning would force him to do anything. Instead, they were respectful to him.

Back in the real Daqian, he was just a second-rank official in the Ministry of Works.

Above them are the second-rank assistant ministers, the first-rank ministers, powerful clans, the commanders of the frontier armies, and even His Majesty the Emperor.

From this point of view, the world of "Picturesque World" is obviously much better than the outside world.

Here, he not only has a high status, but also to a certain extent is immortal, achieving the end point that many people pursue throughout their lives.

Unfortunately, even if Jiang Lin wanted to stay, there was no way.

The world that Gu An Ning saw was full of suffering, waiting for the court to intervene and resolve disputes.

But in Jiang Lin's view, this world is already shaky and may collapse completely at any time.

Once the effect of [A Picturesque World] disappears, he will immediately return to the moment he entered.

So before that, we must take advantage of this place and kill all the members of the Lu family first!
But I can't tell this explanation to others. Even if I do, no one will believe it.

Who can believe that he is really the person in the painting? Seeing Jiang Lin didn't say anything, Gu An Ning asked again: "Will Grandpa come back?"

Jiang Lin said: "Yes, but I don't know when."

Gu An Ning's eyes lit up slightly, and his look and expression were almost exactly the same as Ma Ningyan's.

"Then I'll wait for my great grandfather to come back."

"it is good."

Jiang Lin said no more. His arm armor tore open a crack in the space and he stepped into it.

When the space crack closed, everything in front of me returned to normal.

Gu An Ning looked at the blank space in front of him and couldn't help but think of the picture of flying birds.

"To Grandpa, isn't this world just that dead branch?"

Gu An Ning clenched his fist slightly. Even if the bird flew away, it would definitely come back!
There has never been a time when he was more willing than now to believe that the picture of flying birds was real.

After leaving the palace, Jiang Lin rushed to the small courtyard thousands of miles away without stopping.

Although Guo Qichen became an eighth-rank county official, Old Man Chai and Chai En did not move with him.

They always remembered the kindness of Jiang Lin and Gu An Ning, especially after the palace examination, when Guo Qichen told them that the young Master Hong was actually the current emperor.

And Uncle Dahong must be the ancestor of blacksmiths.

The whole family was frightened. They guessed that these two people were of high status and might be high-ranking officials in the court.

But I didn't expect it to be this high.

Who dares to leave the mansion bestowed by the emperor empty?

Not to mention that Guo Qichen was only an eighth-rank county official, even if he was a first-rank official in the current dynasty, it would not work.

When Jiang Lin arrived at the courtyard, Old Man Chai and Chai En were holding their child in the yard and basking in the sun.

Seeing him coming, they were both very surprised and quickly knelt down to greet him.

Jiang Lin released a stream of energy, supported the two people, and said, "I'm just passing by here to take a look. No need to be polite."

Old Man Chai was even more respectful than before, and even more full of awe.

Chai En stood by holding the child, not knowing what to say.

Jiang Lin looked at the child in her arms. The child was only a few months old and still in an ignorant stage. He was blinking at him curiously.

"Is your name Guo Jiuxing?" Jiang Lin asked.

Chai En nodded quickly: "His Majesty has bestowed the name."

Jiang Lin hummed and said, "Raise him well. If he encounters any difficulties, you can..."

Jiang Lin paused, thinking that there were some guards with hidden identities around him, and he estimated that nothing would happen to him.

What’s more, there is another One in heaven.

He didn't say much and left some health-preserving pills.

Old Man Chai and Chai En hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step."

"Congratulations, my lord."

Jiang Lin dodged and disappeared on the spot.

After a long time, Old Man Chai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chai En let the child in his arms grab the bottle of health-preserving elixir with both hands and teased him with a smile: "You are so lucky. The blacksmith master has come to see you."

Jiang Lin left the courtyard and did not go to find Lu immediately, but appeared high in the sky.

Xie Yushuang opened her eyes, stood up and saluted him: "Uncle Hong."

Looking at the gray-haired old woman, Jiang Lin felt a lot of emotion in his heart and asked, "You have been here for many years, what do you want to do?"

"The Taoist master has ordered us to protect the Dao for them." Xie Yushuang said.

"Protector of the Dao?" Jiang Lin was already certain that the baby was the future leader of the Xujian Dao.

But why did the leader of this generation of Xujian Dao, who was not yet born, ask Xie Yushuang to protect the Dao?

Thinking of the future leader of Xujian Dao, he wants to turn the world upside down.

Jiang Lin couldn't guess for a moment whether this generation of Taoist master was just going with the flow or doing it on purpose.

Jiang Lin didn't think too much about the unpredictable things, and just said to Xie Yushuang: "I'm going to kill a few people, and then I'll leave. I don't know when we will meet next time. You... take care of yourself."

Xie Yushuang looked at him and bowed: "Uncle Hong, take care of yourself too."

Jiang Lin nodded, used his arm armor to tear open the space crack, and stepped in.

Xie Yushuang looked at the blank space after the space crack closed. After a long time, he sighed and sat down again.

Not long after, Jiang Lin appeared in the ruins.

This was the former Tiannan Prefecture, which was smashed into a huge canyon by the giant corpse that fell from the sky.

There are mountains and forests all around, and the entire terrain has changed.

The street in my memory, the blacksmith shop left by my master and his wife, and Yu'er's grave, all of them have gone to nowhere.

Maybe, it has already turned into powder.

After all, even those at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm would die in such a natural disaster, let alone ordinary beings.

Jiang Lin looked at the people who were reclaiming farmland and moving here.

Everything had changed, and he felt very uncomfortable.

I don't even have the chance to remember the old friends.

This discomfort made the murderous intent in his heart grow stronger.

Although this matter has nothing to do with the Lu family, since the Lu family is the one who must be killed, they will have to bear the consequences.

The arm armor vibrated slightly, tearing open a new space crack.

Jiang Lin took a last look at the changing world below, then held the Thunder Blade in his hand, carried the Sun-Chasing Bow on his back, and walked in.

Hundreds of miles, thousands of miles...

It’s not just one step away, but it’s not slow either.

When the last space crack was torn open, Jiang Lin saw the newly built house of the Lu family.

At the same time, he also saw the Lu clan members who were on high alert.

In addition, there are many more masters from powerful clans.

Jiang Lin's gaze swept through the cracks in space one by one.

Some of the masters from those powerful clans had been seen before, while others had not.

All of them are above the eighth level of the Divine Martial Realm, and some are even at the Dao Martial Realm.

The cultivation and status of these people are extraordinary.

The news that he was coming to kill the Lu clan members leaked out.

The powerful clans have already responded in advance and gathered here.

The Taizu of Lu family and the Gaozu of Lu family stood side by side.

They had already seen the space crack and the burly figure behind it.

The Lu family's great ancestor sneered and said, "Master Hong has come from afar, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Could it be... that we have come to the wrong place?"

Looking at the fearless great-grandfather of the Lu family, Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took a step forward.

When his huge body passed through the space crack and appeared in front of everyone, everyone felt great pressure.

Sky Scale Armor and Brilliant Thunder Blade are both medium-grade divine weapons.

The huge figure was covered in armor, with a blood-red cloak and a giant blade that was constantly flashing with lightning and flames.

There is also the arm armor that has reached the level of a top-grade divine weapon and is only one step away from being a Taoist weapon.

As well as the pure white Taoist bones that almost condensed to Jiang Lin's neck, even the masters of the powerful clans in the Daowu realm couldn't help but feel fearful at this moment.

This great blacksmith master is a little too powerful.

The aura was nothing like that of a blacksmith. It was so terrifying that it looked more like a humanoid ninth-grade demon beast.
