Chapter 207: Not Enough People in 1 City
Chapter 207: Not Enough People for One City
"What reason does the Tong family have to seal the county government's teleportation array?"
Tian Lin's face looked very ugly. He could do without the inner disciples of Shuiyun Sect, but he had to give him the use of the teleportation array.
He has worked so hard for so long, isn't he just waiting to be able to use the teleportation array?
"If the Taoist really wants to use the teleportation array, I'm afraid the Thirteenth Young Master will have to agree."
Tian Lin didn't say anything. It might not be easy for him to see Tong Shisan at this time.
He thought for a while and frowned again.
Yu'er followed Tian Lin's gaze outside the house and saw the figures of Gao He and his wife appear.
Gao He walked into the room quickly, bowed to Tian Lin, and said:
"Second brother was right. We are the servants of the Tong family. How can we take advantage of them when they are in trouble?"
Tian Lin was surprised and looked at Gao He with some confusion, not understanding what Gao He was doing at this time.
At this time, Cui'er ran in from outside and said excitedly: "Master Dao, news has come. It seems that our ancestor is not dead yet."
Tian Lin’s current status can only be considered as a servant of the Tong family.
There is no such thing as 'our' ancestor.
But he was indeed somewhat surprised, and he stood up and asked, "Is Senior Tong Yao really not dead?"
What he thought was that if Tong Yao didn't die, the situation in Pingyang City would definitely be stabilized.
Not to mention that the people in the city could save their lives because of this, just the county government's teleportation array would surely not be banned from use.
"Someone saw the figure of Patriarch Tong appear in the mountains above Kun Lake, but the Immortal Master Zhou who was traveling with her was killed by the Immortal Master Jiu Ming."
Tian Lin frowned and asked, "What do you mean by seeing Senior Tong Yao appear in the mountains? Could it be that Senior Tong has not returned to the old house yet?"
Cui'er shook her head.
Gao He said: "As long as a Jindan master like this survives, he can recover from any serious injury.
Besides, she was in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Tong Family had not yet become a Yuanying family under her leadership. How could she let go of the Tong Family?"
Tian Lin glanced at Gao He sideways, too lazy to listen to his flattery at this time.
Unlike Gao He, Tian Lin felt that the situation of the Tong family was not optimistic.
"Where is the Nine-Life Immortal?"
Tian Lin looked at Cui Er and heard Cui Er say:
"Some people say that Jiu Ming Zhenren went to Shuiyun Sect, and the order to seal off Pingyang City was issued by Jiu Ming Zhenren."
Gao He frowned, for a moment not understanding the meaning of Master Jiu Ming's ordering the Tong family to seal off the city.
Tian Lin sighed and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through the Tong family. I hope we won't be affected."
Gao He was a little confused: "What does Patriarch Tong's exploration of the Kunhu Tomb have to do with Master Jiu Ming asking the Tong family to seal off the city?
The Kunhu Tomb was opened and now it is closed again. With the Nine-Life Immortal here, what danger can affect Pingyang City?"
They still don't know that the huge tomb at the bottom of Kunhu Lake is the tomb of Jiuming Zhenren.
But speaking of it, thousands of years ago, except for the Zhou family, no one else knew that there was a huge tomb hidden under Kun Lake, let alone who the owner of the tomb was.
Now, a thousand years have passed, and the only people from the Zhou family still in Cangzhou are Zhou Shoufan and Zhou Xianshi. And besides Jiu Ming Zhenren and himself, the only ones who know the secret of Kunhu Tomb are probably Zhou Shoufan and Zhou Xianshi.
Master Zhou is dead now, what about Zhou Shoufan?
True Man Jiu Ming is such a petty person. He asked the Tong family to seal off the city. Does he want to kill everyone in the city?
"I think that after True Man Jiu Ming goes to Shuiyun Sect, he will come back soon."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he said to Yu'er and Cui'er, "You two go and find out when the Thirteenth Young Master will be back, or find out about the news of Mei Xiangu."
The teleportation array cannot be built for the time being, so it is better to plan the Tian Yi Sheng Water Technique.
He sent Gao He and his wife away and went to Chenxiantang alone.
Chenxiantang now seems to be safe and sound, and the thick fog on the sea has obviously dissipated a lot.
But if True Man Jiu Ming is really guarding the sea area and preventing evil spirits from invading.
If she returns to Cangzhou this time, won't the evil spirits in the southern sea attack her again when she is not prepared?
The narrow-minded Nine-Life Immortal ran across the sea to Yulong Continent just because he looked at her for a second longer in the crowd.
Although it only delayed the process for less than half an hour, it released countless evil spirits, causing the deaths of countless sea monsters, and the battle in Pingyang City over the past half month -
In less than half an hour, so many evil spirits poured in.
So what about one day? Two days?
In the blink of an eye, three days passed quietly, and there was still no news of the return of Master Jiu Ming.
What worries the Tong family is that the ancestor of the Tong family has not been seen for the past three days, as if he had disappeared.
Gradually, people in Pingyang City couldn't help but speculate that Tong Yao might be dead.
The so-called appearance of Tong Yao in the mountains of Kunhu was false news released by the Tong family.
Early this morning, Gao He and his wife came together again.
He said to Tian Lin excitedly: "Second brother, Patriarch Tong is most likely dead, you can rest assured now."
Tian Lin frowned and said, "Why should I be at ease? If you continue to persuade me to go against the Tong family, don't blame me as your brother for turning against you." Gao He's face also turned ugly. He stood up and said:
"It's not that I want to go against the Tong family now, but the Shuiyun Sect has already issued an order. Second brother, you can't go against the Shuiyun Sect for the sake of the Tong family, right?"
Tian Lin looked at the Yu'er sisters, but they obviously didn't hear anything.
Gao He said: "There has been news that the Tong family's ancestor was so bold that he dared to steal the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal.
Now that the ancestor of the Tong family is dead, True Man Jiu Ming has shown mercy, but he cannot help but punish the Tong family.
From the head of the Tong family down, all members of the Tong family will be demoted to slavery, and their property and all official positions will be taken away."
Gao He chuckled and said, "An elder from Shuiyun Sect is already on his way to Pingyang City. I think in the near future, the elders of Shuiyun Sect will definitely need the offerings from the Tong family."
Tian Lin didn't say anything. Yu'er and Cui'er turned pale. Cui'er couldn't help but ask, "What about those of us who are from the Tong family and hold swords?"
Tian Lin glanced at Cui Er and said, "You two are my sword bearers now, and have nothing to do with the Tong family."
He didn't have the courage to speak up for Tong Shisan, perhaps because of his selfish and aloof personality, and he didn't feel that he and Tong Shisan had a life-or-death friendship.
Tian Lin did not feel sad when the Tong family was destroyed.
Only Cui Er still couldn't believe it and couldn't help but question:
"Nine Lives Immortal is still alive and well, how could Kunhu have her tomb? Could it be that someone wants the land of my Tong family and is trying to stir up trouble?"
Gao He was also very confused, because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why the Nine-Life Immortal wanted to build a huge tomb for himself and curse himself.
"For a powerful person like Jiu Ming Zhenren, having several large tombs can highlight her status. This is something that ordinary people like us cannot understand, so it is not surprising."
Gao He reluctantly explained a few words, but turned his gaze to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin asked him, "According to Shuiyun Sect, Jiu Ming Zhenren has left Shuiyun Sect. Has the Tong family's ancestor really passed away?"
"Nine Life Immortal got justice from Shuiyun Sect, so of course he left. As for the Tong Family Patriarch——
Since the Nine-Life Immortal wanted her to die, why should she live? It was a pity for Zhou Jiu, a Huahualang who had finally managed to reach the Golden Core level. During this period, he had gone through so much suffering——
In the end, he died along with the Tong family's ancestor."
Tian Lin heard this and sighed, "If you want to seize the Tong family's foundation, do it yourself. I am not interested in the Tong family's foundation."
Gao He was angry and anxious when he saw Tian Lin was stubborn and unyielding. However, he was afraid of Tian Lin's cultivation, so he could only leave in anger.
Yu'er opened her mouth at this time, and then said worriedly:
"These Huahualang attacked the Tong family. I'm afraid that in addition to coveting the Tong family's skills, they also wanted to express their stance to the Shuiyun Sect."
Tian Lin did not comment.
Of course he was interested in the Tong family's things, but he wanted to join the Daoist sect. It was better not to be tainted by the reputation of being a traitor.
After all, he was also half a servant of the Tong family, and the Tong family never treated him badly.
He had called Tong Shisan his brother, although it was mostly politeness. But if he turned around and stole his brother's belongings, how would others see him?
"In fact, if Shuiyun Sect really wanted to deal with the Tong family, the Jindan cultivators should have come a long time ago. There is no reason why the Jindan cultivators would come later than the leaked news."
Tian Lin guessed this in his mind, but did not express his thoughts out loud.
In the next few days, he still insisted on looking for Tong Shisan.
But Tong Shisan didn't know that he was sad about the death of his ancestor, so he didn't want to entertain guests.
Or maybe he didn't want to implicate his friend, so he refused to meet Tian Lin.
In short, Pingyang City was still under blockade during these few days, and Tian Lin did not see Tong Shisan.
Just as the Huahualangs of Pingyang City were waiting for the arrival of the elders of the Shuiyun Sect so that they could take the opportunity to attack the Tong family, the fog in Chenxiantang rose again.
This time, the heavy fog directly invaded the coast of Chenxiantang.
Overnight, all the fishermen and vendors on the coast died tragically and turned into resentful spirits.
At this time, among the Tong family's servants and other Huahualang, who still cares about the Tong family's so-called family property?
Some people said they would run for their lives no matter what, while others rushed to the county government office and simply wanted to leave via the teleportation array.
The only ones who had no way to escape were the countless people in Pingyang City.
When Tian Lin saw Tong Shisan again, he only saw him with his sword, kneeling in front of the elder of the Goddess Sect and said, "Senior, please help and save the people of Pingyang City."
The elder of the Goddess Sect sneered at Tong Shisan and said, "Do you really think of yourself as the son-in-law of my Goddess Sect? I tell you, this is Mei'er's opportunity, so don't meddle in other people's business."
Tong Shisan tilted his head and saw Mei Xiangu standing in front of a tree above the county government office.
The residual souls of countless dead people kept flying into the small potted tree in front of her.
The plum blossoms bloomed one by one on the branches, emitting precious light.
"There are so many wandering souls in Shenxian Pond, aren't they enough for you to absorb?"
Tong Shisan asked with a grim expression.
Elder Qiu of the Goddess Sect said, "It's not enough. Even if we sucked away all the lives of the people in this city, it would still be far from enough."
