"Master Jiu! Did you remember wrongly? Didn't we agree on one primeval stone per year? Why is it a hundred taels of silver now? "
A burly, dark-faced youth was kneeling in the mud, begging a shrewd old man. His eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
The old man sneered. "How could I remember wrongly? A lowly ant wants one primeval stone after a year of work? Why don't you go rob a bank! Take it or leave it. Get lost! "
"Master Jiu, you can't be unreasonable!"
"Chase him away. Don't let him interfere with business …"
The old man waved his hand impatiently. Immediately, a martial artist with an extraordinary aura stepped forward and stomped on the youth's chest!
Bang!
The youth screamed and slid five to six meters away. He spat out blood and almost fainted.
Originally, Lin Xuan didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but he inadvertently realized that the young migrant worker who was asking for his salary looked a little familiar.
"Lin Hu?"
He quickly remembered that this youth was from the same clan as the deceased Lin Xuan. He was one of his childhood playmates, Lin Hu.
Lin Xuan's Lin family was considered a large family in Fish Dragon Town. There were more than three hundred people.
However, the Lin family was only a mortal family. None of their ancestors were martial artists. Their status in Fish Dragon Town was very low and they were at the bottom of the food chain. They only had a little more freedom than slaves. This was one of the reasons why Lin Xuan had fled Fish Dragon Town three years ago.
Lin Hu was knocked to the ground, but he quickly struggled to get up. He ignored his injuries and begged, "Master Jiu! I beg of you! It doesn't matter if you hit me, but you have to give me the primeval stones. Our Lin family needs them to save our lives … "
"What does your Lin family's survival have to do with Master Jiu? If you don't get lost, I'll beat you to death! "
The martial artist laughed contemptuously. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He raised his leg again and stomped on Lin Hu's head with all his strength. The air around him exploded.
If this foot were to land, Lin Hu's head would be like a watermelon being stepped on, splitting into pieces.
However, before he could step on his target, the shadow of a leg swept over from the side!
Bang!
Roar — —
The martial artist screamed miserably as he was sent flying, falling into the mud and vomiting blood. His face was filled with horror.
The one who made the move was naturally Lin Xuan.
"It's only right and proper to pay back what you owe! To think that you would refuse to pay even a single primal stone. Has the Black Snake Gang fallen to such a state? "Lin Xuan sneered as he held his saber.
"Who are you? How dare you make an enemy out of my Black Snake sect?" Elder Jiu shouted angrily.
"Lin Family, Lin Xuan!"
Lin Xuan took a few steps forward and placed the knife on the table. He looked straight at Jiu Ye and said sinisterly, "Old man, either you pay me back today, or I'll teach you how to behave!"
"So you're also from the Lin Clan! You actually dare to threaten this old man? Aren't you afraid that my Black Snake sect … "Elder Jiu said angrily.
"I might be afraid of the Black Snake sect, but I'm not afraid of you!"
Lin Xuan said playfully. "I don't believe that the Black Snake sect's leader asked you to do something as despicable as embezzling a single ki stone!"
"You!"
Elder Jiu couldn't help but freeze. Lin Xuan was right. How could the sect leader have asked him to do something as trivial as this? Clans had their own rules, and sects had their own rules. If the higher-ups found out, he might be punished.
Elder Jiu's expression changed. In the end, he slammed a ki stone on the table and turned to leave.
"Are you alright, Hu?"
Lin Xuan pulled Lin Hu up and tossed him the ki stone.
"Lin Xuan? Are you really Lin Xuan? You didn't die? "Lin Hu looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
"That's right, I didn't die. I'm back." Lin Xuan smiled.
"Wait, you just kicked Elder Jiu's thug away. You're a martial artist now, right?" Lin Hu asked excitedly.
"Yes, I'm a martial artist."
"Hahaha! That's great! Our Lin Clan finally has a martial artist! Our Lin Clan won't be bullied anymore! Hahaha! "
Lin Hu laughed crazily as he jumped around in the mud. He couldn't be any more excited.
Lin Xuan smiled as he looked at Lin Hu. He sighed inwardly.
In the past, the Lin Clan didn't have any martial artists. They lived in humiliation every day and suffered humiliation. They couldn't even guarantee their basic survival.
Just now, even if Lin Hu was killed, he would have died in vain. No one would stand up for justice because the strong preyed on the weak. This was the law of survival on both sides of the river.
However, Lin Xuan believed that the Lin Clan would change because of him.
Of course, this wasn't because he planned to inherit the deceased Lin Xuan's will and revive the Lin Clan.
Although he borrowed Lin Xuan's body to be reborn, this didn't mean that he should become the second Lin Xuan and take on Lin Xuan's responsibilities and obligations.
The reason why he returned to Fish Dragon Town was because Fish Dragon Town was the starting point of his life plan. It was the most suitable starting point for him. That was all.
On this basis, there was nothing wrong with helping the Lin Clan as much as he could.
"Lin Xuan, let's go. I'll bring you home for a look. I believe the Clan Leader and Third Uncle will be very happy to see you!" Lin Hu was excited for a while before he gradually returned to normal. He brought Lin Xuan and the other two into the town.
As they walked, Lin Xuan scolded with a smile, "Hu Zi, I didn't realize that you were someone who valued money more than your life."
"Sigh, Lin Xuan, you don't know. If I don't get this Origin Stone today, our Lin Clan will be in big trouble!" Lin Hu said with a gloomy expression.
"What's going on? The Lin Clan doesn't have any martial artists. What do we need Origin Stones for? "Lin Xuan asked curiously.
"The Iron Tiger Gang wants it! Starting from two years ago, the Iron Tiger Gang began to collect Yuan Stones from mortal families. For a large family like our Lin family, every year we have to pay ten Yuan Stones and three thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, we have to pay ten lives. "Lin Hu angrily said.
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows. In his memory, the Iron Tiger Gang was only a small gang. There were only a few dozen martial artists in the gang. They weren't even ranked in Jiang District. Even in Fish Dragon Town, they had to tuck their tails between their legs.
Of course, to mortals, the Iron Tiger Gang was still a colossus that they couldn't contend with.
"Who's the leader of the Iron Tiger Gang? What's his cultivation level? "Lin Xuan asked.
"The leader of the Iron Tiger Gang is called Zhao Tiehu. He's an expert at the sixth level of the Spirit Body realm. Oh, right, Zhao Tiehu is also an official member of the Blackwater Alliance. He has an Iron Fan Token."
"He's only at the sixth level of the Spirit Body realm and he has an Iron Fan Token?" Lin Xuan's eyes flickered as he pondered.
The most important reason why he chose to return to Fish Dragon Town was to obtain an Iron Fan Token and become an official member of the Blackwater Alliance. He could then use the enormous resources of the Blackwater Alliance to increase his cultivation.
