After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

"Cao He is dead."

Lin Heng stepped forward and calmly examined the unkempt old man before him.

Clearly, this old fellow knows Cao He from the City Lord's Mansion.

But on his own territory, Lin Heng wasn't worried at all about what tricks he might play.

After all, the many spirit-suppressing towers around us are not just decorative items for visitors.

"Is he really dead?"

The old man paused for a moment, but didn't seem too regretful. "It's better that he's dead. The demonic tides in the entire Tian Shu Kingdom are extremely irregular, especially around Linxian City. I've always suspected he was behind it..."

"Feed".

At this moment, the hem of Lin Heng's clothes was gently tugged at the back.

"Um?"

Turning around, Lin Heng saw Song Jingyu looking at him.

Song Jingyu whispered, "I heard Xiaohezi mention before that an old man came to the City Lord's Mansion not long ago. He seemed to be an elder of the Capital's General Administration... Do you think it could be him?"

"An elder of the General Administration?"

Lin Heng looked at the old man in front of him with surprise.

To be honest, given his current appearance, it's hard to associate him with those high-ranking figures in the General Headquarters...

At this moment, the unkempt old man also began to sized up Lin Heng: "By the way, kid, why do I feel... you seem to have a lot of influence here?"

"Because this is my place."

Lin Heng calmly shrugged, then said to the surrounding immortal servants, "Just do what you're supposed to do."

"Yes, Young Master Lin."

All the celestial servants nodded and left.

After all, there was a Spirit Suppressing Tower array right next to Lin Heng.

If this old man really makes any move, he won't even be able to get close to Lin Heng.

However, seeing the obedient celestial servants disperse, the old man became even more curious about Lin Heng: "Are they all your celestial servants?"

"Sir."

Lin Heng smiled and looked at him, saying, "Never mind who they are. You've inexplicably appeared on my turf. Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Hmph, an introduction? You're trying to tell me what to do now... Holy crap!"

The old man was just about to put on an arrogant air when his pupils dilated and he excitedly approached the Spirit Suppressing Tower formation next to Lin Heng.

"?"

The old man's actions startled Lin Heng.

"This...this is the Spirit Suppressing Tower Formation?!"

Looking at the stone tower in front of him, the old man was instantly so excited that he didn't know what to do. He looked left and right, just like Xia Feng had seen a new fairy slave.

Lin Heng was somewhat surprised: "You recognize the Spirit Suppressing Tower Formation?"

"Nonsense! Don't think that the profession of array builder has disappeared after the start of the Demon Calendar."

"Let me tell you! Since the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, our capital's General Administration has been trying to find ways to resist the demonic tide using methods other than spiritual energy. And powerful array formations are one of them."

As he spoke, the old man became smug: "As for me... I'm one of the top five array builders in our General Administration!"

It really was Elder Yao of the Chief Administrator's Office in the City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Heng nodded slowly, but still smiled and said to him, "However, Elder, if I remember correctly, the General Administration Division only has five core elders, right?"

"That's because there are only five elders. The General Administration Office is a large organization, and it's not just the five of us elders..."

The old man blushed, but he couldn't deny his stubbornness: "In short, I've definitely spent the longest time researching array construction!"

So, this elder spent the most time studying array construction, yet his skill level was still the lowest?

"Hmm? Wait a minute. This Spirit Suppressing Tower formation, could it be your doing?"

Suddenly, the old man looked at Lin Heng in surprise.

But Lin Heng didn't say anything, he just looked at him calmly.

"Alright, alright, then I'll introduce myself first."

The old man waved his hand and casually said, "Elder Tian Qianchen of the General Administration Division, a mid-level array construct master!"

He even emphasized his last identity.

But Lin Heng rolled his eyes.

Who the hell asked what level of array architect you are...?

After introducing himself, Tian Qianchen eagerly grabbed Lin Heng and said, "Quick, quick, tell me, was this Spirit Suppressing Tower formation your doing?"

Lin Heng's eye twitched slightly.

He now understood why the elder of the General Administration had said that his research on array construction had taken the longest.

With such enthusiasm, he seemed to have forgotten his current situation and where he was...

There was one thing Lin Heng wanted to ask this elder of the General Administration Division about since they had met.

"...I'm referring to this elder of the General Administration."

Lin Heng sighed helplessly and had no choice but to remind him, "The Spirit Suppressing Tower Formation was indeed constructed by me, but shouldn't you be asking me something else now?"

"Anything else? Nothing else is as important as array construction..."

Tian Qianchen shook his head.

Lin Heng pointed towards the already collapsed city wall: "For example, this place of mine seems to have replaced Linxian City over there."

"Is Linxian City completely finished?"

Hearing Lin Heng say this, Tian Qianchen glanced in the direction of Linxian City.

But it was only one glance...

Because he soon discovered that there were dozens of spirit-suppressing tower formations on Lin Heng's territory!

Tian Qianchen gasped, staring in disbelief at Lin Heng standing before him.

"Don't you dare tell me you constructed all these Spirit-Suppressing Tower formations?!"

"Elder, please pay attention to the important points first..."

"The key point... Oh, I get it!"

Suddenly, his surprised expression turned into a meaningful smile: "You showed me the already destroyed Linxian City... are you trying to ask me what the capital's General Administration will think when you and your immortal slaves occupy this place?"

"That's right."

Lin Heng readily nodded in agreement.

It should be understood that privately occupying land within the territory of the Tian Shu Kingdom is absolutely a violation of national regulations.

Even now, the array he has unlocked has already created a decent fighting force for the slums.

However, if the General Administration mobilizes the entire nation to suppress them, even if they manage to resist with great difficulty, it will inevitably affect the normal development of the territory.

War has always been a major factor that hinders development and can even cause overall regression.

Therefore, the attitude that the elders from the Capital Command give is extremely crucial.

"There are two possibilities in this matter."

At this moment, Tian Qianchen stroked his goatee and said thoughtfully, "According to the national regulations of Tian Shu Kingdom, this constitutes the serious crime of illegally dividing territory. Sending people to raze your territory to the ground and causing you and your people to lose your heads is the most basic punishment."

"What's the other possibility?"

Lin Heng knew that Tian Qianchen's point was about the second possibility.

"As for the other possibility..."

Tian Qianchen said slowly, "Now is the chaotic era of the outbreak of the demonic tide. The monarch of the capital has successively granted dozens of territories and handed them over to various kings and marquises for management."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly: "So what you mean is?"

Tian Qianchen said with a smile, "You know that the Cao He family has many immortal servants, right?"

"Um."

"Go and drag Cao He's body over here. Ask him if he remembers the names of the celestial servants in the City Lord's mansion."

"..."

Then, Tian Qianchen said disdainfully, "So you think the monarch of the capital and these old guys in our General Administration Office would remember who governs this little, run-down city of Linxian?"

"Forget about the city lord, I've even forgotten what kind of godforsaken place Linxian City is. This time I came to Linxian City for some celebration, and just asking for directions took me half a month..."

Lin Heng: "..."

"Oh, right."

Suddenly, Tian Qianchen looked at Lin Heng and asked, "What's your name, kid?"

"Lin Heng".

"That makes things much easier."

Tian Qianchen grinned slyly at Lin Heng and said, "With just a flick of my wrist, the 'Lin' in 'Linxian City' can also be the 'Lin' in 'Lin Heng'... How about that, does it suit your taste?"

This old guy actually offered a solution to legitimize his territory?

However, Lin Heng knew that Tian Qianchen, that old codger from the General Administration Division, would never be so kind.

Lin Heng then looked at him with a smile: "So, Elder Tian, ​​what are your conditions?"
