"Hall Master, this is the following news. Twelve of the villages have been massacred without completing their tasks, but this village is somewhat special."
"What's so special? Just massacre without completing the task. This is an order personally issued by the sect master above. Do you need me to mention it again?"
In the Lingmen branch of Xuanwu City, Jue Feng listened to the report from his subordinates with an impatient look on his face, because since the sect leader issued the order, almost all of his men in this branch were mobilized.
He slaughtered two of the six major families in the city, but his branch also paid a heavy price. Nearly one-third of his men died in the battle, and even he himself suffered considerable injuries.
So when I heard the report from my subordinates, I was even more angry. After all, I am also the leader of the hall. How can I bother myself with such a trivial matter in the village? Is it possible that all the people below me are dead?
"The hall master calmed down and reported to the hall master because things were a little different this time. The village chief was unable to complete the task, so his subordinates arranged for a team of black warriors in the hall to go and massacre the village. But
Who knew that the next day, the villagers in that village came with news through the city lord, saying that six black warriors wanted to destroy one of their villages in order to steal the spiritual stones. In the end, their village collectively resisted and killed the six black warriors.
The spirit stone was handed over through the city lord."
Jue Feng's expression changed slightly, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by coldness.
"My subordinates felt that this matter was unusual, so they decided to report it to the hall master. Hall master, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Jue Feng didn't say anything. He was the leader of the Lingmen Hall. If there was a force that he feared in the thousand-mile radius of this city, it was the City Lord's Mansion.
The Lingmen is a very special organization. The meaning of their existence is to find enough spiritual stones for the royal family. They have the power to kill anyone who dares not to hand over the spiritual stones.
However, in matters other than spirit stones, their spirit clan is not allowed to take any action. The people responsible for the management of the spirit clan are the city lords of each city.
Two completely different teams may seem to have little overlap, but in fact there are many contradictions between the two parties.
If Lingmen wants to complete its mission, it must take action on those powerful family forces. For a city lord, these powerful forces are the foundation for him to maintain the stability and prosperity of the city.
Although the city lord did not dare to stop Lingmen's actions, he was naturally dissatisfied with Lingmen in his heart, and for the people of Lingmen, they also had their own ambitions.
As a violent organization, they cannot do anything other than looking for spiritual stones. This makes the hall leaders willing to do some exploiting things secretly, which intensifies the conflicts between the two parties.
However, no one on either side dares to break through this last line. They can fight each other secretly but dare not openly fight against each other.
"Hmph, the black warriors in my hall are all loyal to the Ling Sect. It is impossible for them to do such a thing. And now that everyone is dead and there is no evidence, it is up to them to say whatever they want."
Jue Feng's tone was very calm, but as Jue Feng's confidant, Jue Feng's subordinate instantly understood the meaning of his hall master's words.
"Hall Master, this is the City Lord's Mansion pouring dirty water on our spiritual sect. There are so many brothers in our hall who work hard to complete the task. If we don't give justice to the dead brothers, it will bring disgrace to the entire hall.
He speaks from the heart of a brother."
"Hall Master, I request that all the people in that village be arrested immediately. We should go find out the truth ourselves and we cannot let the city master speak nonsense."
Jue Feng was very satisfied with the reaction of his subordinates. Yes, this was the result he wanted. He would first bring all the people from that village back, then kill some of them and torture some to extract confessions. He would not be afraid of not getting what they wanted.
's confession.
With this confession, he can cause trouble for the old guy in the City Lord's Mansion this time, and he believes that many senior officials in Lingmen will secretly support him.
"I leave this matter to you, and you must ask for the truth. But remember, you have the entire Lingmen behind you, so don't be timid."
"Yes, I understand. I will personally bring you here to investigate."
Jue Feng's confidant left, and from beginning to end, neither Jue Feng nor his confidant remembered the name of the village.
For them, this village is just a tool for their Lingmen to compete with the City Lord's Mansion. From the moment they decided to compete with the City Lord's Mansion, the fate of everyone in this village was doomed.
…
It's still Xuanwu City, inside the city lord's palace in the center of Xuanwu City.
"City Lord, we just received news that one of Jue Feng's confidants left with a hundred people from the Ling Sect. According to my speculation, it is very likely that he went to Wang Ling Village."
In the city lord's palace, a majestic old man sitting on the throne raised his eyes and said, "It seems that Jue Feng wants to give us a try this time."
"That's right, Jue Feng is very ambitious. He feels unwilling to live under the city lord in Xuanwu City. What's more important is that he has powerful Lingmen power under his command, so we cannot underestimate the enemy."
"Huh, so what if he is the master of Lingmen Hall, I am still the city lord appointed by the Queen. You pass on my handwriting and take the city guards to Wangling Village. No matter what, we cannot let the people of Juefeng destroy the people of that village.
People captured him."
"City Lord, I'm afraid that Lingmen won't compromise when the time comes, so, can I..."
The middle-aged man who spoke made a gesture of wiping his neck, but the old man pondered for a moment and then nodded heavily.
"We can take action when necessary. As long as we control the people in Wangling Village, we won't be afraid even if Juefeng comes to the top management."
For the people in the City Lord's Mansion, their thoughts are the same as Jue Feng. As long as they control the villagers of Wangling Village, they will naturally have a way to make the villagers of Wangling Village speak according to their intentions.
…
The actions of the City Lord's Mansion and Lingmen were unknown to the villagers of Wangling Village. At this moment, Wangling Village had just gotten over the sadness of the dead and was full of expectations for outside life.
Because, in just these few days, because of Mr. Qin, their Wangling Village has become the most powerful village within a hundred miles, and the number one warriors in other villages have been defeated by Mr. Qin.
For these villages, the person who determines the development of a village is the first warrior in the village. The more powerful the first warrior is, the more benefits their village can enjoy.
For example, the ownership of fertile farmland between several villages and the ownership of some mountains and forests are resources for the development of the village. With the mountains and forests, the villagers can hunt to obtain more food, and sell the uneaten food.
Some medicinal materials in the mountains and forests are also valuable.
The most important thing is that with the mountains and forests, they can also find spiritual stones. Once they find the spiritual stones, the village can develop stably for many years.
The competition for these resources is the result of a duel between the number one warriors of each village. It can be said that the village chief of almost every village was once the number one warrior of his own village.
"Village chief, the people in Stone Village have already compromised. They gave us the back mountain. Starting tomorrow, people from our village can go hunting in the back mountain."
Listening to the excited words of the villagers, Reba's pretty face also showed a touch of excitement. Back Mountain can be said to be their most resource-rich mountain within a hundred miles. There are countless birds and beasts in it, even for a teenager.
Children can walk in and out with some prey.
It is precisely because of the rich resources of Back Mountain that it has always been the object of competition for all villages within a hundred miles, and Shitou Village has occupied Back Mountain for thirty years. The reason is simply because there are three enlightened people in Shitou Village.
The strong one.
In fact, at the very beginning, there was only one strong person in the enlightenment stage in Stone Village. However, with the resources of the back mountain, two strong people in the enlightenment stage were cultivated in the past thirty years. This made Stone Village even more powerful.
of strength.
Back Mountain makes Stone Village stronger, and after Stone Village becomes stronger, the ownership of Back Mountain cannot be shaken by other villages. This is a rule that the strong get stronger.
However, due to the appearance of Qin Yu, the dominance of Stone Village was broken. In a duel two days ago, the three strong men in the awakening stage of Stone Village were defeated together. This also officially revealed that Baili Radius
All villages, including Wangling Village, rose up.
"It's a pity that Mr. Qin only stayed for a month. It would be great if Mr. Qin could stay in our Wangling Village forever." Dick, the former village chief, looked at Reba with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Reba's pretty face turned red. She knew what the village chief meant, but she also knew that Brother Qin had no thoughts about her, and there was no way she could keep him.
"Forget it, one month can allow us to do a lot of things, and Brother Qin promised me that he can teach the young people in the village. Although it only lasts a few days, those young people will definitely become our village's leaders in the future.
The pillar of our company, so Uncle Dick, you must choose a good candidate."
Dick was stunned, then ecstatically said, "Really? That's great. In just a dozen years, our Wangling Village will truly have the confidence and foundation to secure its position as the number one village."
"Reba, I will arrange this matter immediately. Don't worry, the one chosen will definitely be the most talented in the village. As for Mr. Qin, Reba still needs your help. It's best to teach him some skills.
The ability.”
Dick left, and Reba also started to get busy. However, Qin Yu, who was the person in charge of the two people, appeared dozens of miles away from the village, staring at a ten-foot-sized stone in front of him, his brows furrowed.
.
"The earth is tangible, and contains the spirit of thousands of miles. The spirit is invisible but traces can be found. Returning to the universal situation, the essence of this situation is conceived here."
Qin Yu whispered that according to his judgment, the one-foot-high boulder in front of him should contain spirit stones. However, he did not go to explore it immediately because his intuition told him that the spirit stones in this boulder might not be contained.
