Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 39: The Beginning and the End
Time goes back three hours.
Lu Qingshan looked at Mu Shan's attribute panel and his eyes fixed.
He noticed a small detail.
In the NPC name column, the demon hunter named Mu Shan was shown as Ma Shan.
It's not surprising that they just lied about their names.
When you are in the world, who doesn’t have one or two vests to protect himself?
The problem lies with the last name.
Mu Shan's real name is Ma.
Coincidentally, the Lin family’s long-time rival in Yuanshan City is the Ma family.
coincide?
Lu Qingshan didn't quite believe it.
His gaming experience of "Nine Days" made him understand one thing: anything that seems to be a coincidence is a trap set by the game planners for the players!
So in order to verify his idea, Lu Qingshan used the Sky Eye Technique to detect all the remaining demon hunters one by one.
The strange thing is that, except for the demon hunter named Liu Ai, the cultivation level of all other demon hunters is above the sixth level of Qi Refining.
In Lin He's previous routine inquiries, the highest cultivation level everyone reported was no more than the sixth level of Qi Refining.
——Including Lu Qingshan, he also concealed his true cultivation level from Lin He.
Among these cultivators who lied about their cultivation level, the most prominent one was the Gu cultivator who called himself Wu Xinyuan but was actually Ma Yuan.
The tenth level of Qi Refining.
How could a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining be interested in a task that costs only thirty first-grade spirit stones?
When Lu Qingshan became suspicious, he made a quick observation and easily discovered that the private communications and actions of these demon hunters who lied about their cultivation level revealed a message.
Before this, they already knew each other, and even vaguely Ma Yuan was the leader.
The situation is clear at a glance .
Lu Qingshan's eyes flickered.
…
Half an hour ago.
Lin He was preparing to survey the terrain and look for a suitable place to station.
Lu Qingshan walked to Lin He inadvertently.
Lin He caught a glimpse of Lu Qingshan from the corner of his eye and asked politely, "What can I do for you, fellow Daoist?"
"Manager Lin, I have a question. Has the Lin family offended anyone recently?" Lu Qingshan had a smile on his face, but his words were shocking.
Lin He sensed the deep meaning in Lu Qingshan's words, and was shocked: "Why do you ask this, fellow Daoist?"
Lu Qingshan said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but I think it's not realistic to hire these highly skilled demon hunters with a reward of thirty first-grade spirit stones."
Lin He frowned.
Qi training cultivators have not yet mastered the ability to [project their spiritual consciousness], so unless they have practiced special spells, there is no way to know the cultivator's level of cultivation.
"you mean?"
Lu Qingshan nodded: "I know a detection spell that can roughly detect the spiritual power fluctuations of cultivators, so as to know their cultivation level. When I had nothing to do, I tried the spell on the monster hunters, but found that these monster hunters have very high cultivation levels. The spiritual power fluctuations from Wu Xinyuan are much higher than that of Manager Lin."
Lin He's expression changed.
Lu Qingshan has hinted so. If he still cannot realize the seriousness of the matter, he will have lived in vain at this age.
Lin He bowed slightly towards Lu Qingshan and said, "Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist."
Lu Qingshan glanced at Ma Shan and Ma Yuan who were sneaking around not far away, and said nonchalantly, "Manager Lin, you're too polite."
Lu Qingshan turned and left.
Lin He thought for a moment, looking as if nothing had happened, walked to the carriage and whispered something into it.
This seemed normal to others, who probably meant reporting something to Miss Lin.
Then Miss Lin from the carriage handed out a storage bag.
Lin He took the storage bag, took out a few formation flags from it, and ordered the Lin family cultivators to set up the formation flags.
It’s just a low-quality warning formation.
Ma Yuan, who had been paying attention to Lin He, slightly withdrew his gaze when he saw this.
…
…
Lin He, who should have been powerless to resist, was now holding the formation flag, controlling the fire snake, and constantly wreaking havoc on his dark mace golden bee poison.
Several red lights shot up into the sky from all directions.
This is the first-grade Fire Snake Formation that was set up in advance.
Ma Yuan couldn't believe it .
He didn't even notice when Lin He set up the Fire Snake Formation.
Suddenly, Ma Yuan seemed to remember something, and he shuddered all over, and reacted: "The formation flags you asked your monks to set up earlier were not the so-called warning formations at all, but the formation flags of this formation!"
Lin He nodded: "You guessed right, your Ma family has a very deep plan. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lu's reminder, I would have been prepared. I'm afraid I would have fallen into your trap now."
Thinking of this, Lin He felt a chill in his heart.
The Ma family has coveted the Lin family's bluestone mine for a long time, and the Lin family is naturally well aware of this.
However, although the overall strength of the Ma family is much better than that of the Lin family, they have only one foundation-building cultivator, just like the Lin family, so the Ma family does not dare to act rashly.
After all, as they are both foundation-building cultivators, it is hard to predict the outcome of a fight. If both sides suffer losses and the other family takes advantage of the situation, then they would end up losing more than they gain.
In addition, there is the threat from the Lin family in Zhenjiang City.
Therefore, the Ma family has been suppressing their restless hearts over the years.
But now the time has come for the head of the Lin family to die. If the connection between the Lin family in Zhenjiang City and the Lin family in Yuanshan City can be cut off, then this vein of bluestone will be a sure thing for the Ma family.
The Lin family in Zhenjiang City has dozens of foundation-building cultivators and several golden elixir cultivators, which is definitely a behemoth for the Ma family.
If the Lin family of Yuanshan City really holds on to this thick leg tightly, even if the Ma family has a hundred courages, he would not dare to have any evil thoughts.
Unfortunately, the Lin family of Yuanshan City is not even a branch of the Lin family of Zhenjiang City.
Their patriarch, Lin Qitian, was originally the son of an elder in the Lin family in Zhenjiang City who had established his foundation.
Lin Qitian was expelled from the family because he made some mistakes and violated family rules.
After Lin Qitian drifted to Yuanshan City, after years of operation, he actually branched out and created a foundation that was quite large compared to Yuanshan City.
After building up a small business, Lin Qitian wanted to trace his roots back to his roots, so he brought the Qingguang Stone with him as a stepping stone, returned to Zhenjiang City, and contacted the Lin family of Zhenjiang City.
The Lin family in Zhenjiang City is wealthy and powerful. Although they do not look down on the Qingguang Stone, they will definitely not slap themselves in the face and accept Lin Qitian again just for a mere Qingguang Stone.
But under the lobbying of his father, the clan elder, although he still did not recognize Lin Qitian's identity in the end, he reluctantly acquiesced to the tribute from the Lin family of Yuanshan City.
Every three years, Lin Qitian pays tribute to the Lin family of Zhenjiang City with a large amount of Qingguang Stone, and the Lin family of Zhenjiang City will also give the Lin family of Yuanshan City some elixirs and magical instruments that are difficult to buy on the market as resource support.
that is it.
The patriarch's father, the elder of the clan, had passed away many years ago, and there was no one left in the Lin family of Zhenjiang City with whom they could talk.
If this tribute is disrupted again, then the weak connection between our Yuanshan City Lin Family and Zhenjiang City Lin Family maintained by the Qingguang Stone will probably be severed.
Thinking of this, Lin He couldn't help but feel a little scared and a little relieved.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan discovered that something was wrong with these monster hunters, otherwise they would have been in trouble this time.
