Eighty miles south of Taiyi City, there was a small town called Copper Mountain Town. The town got its name because it was next to a copper mountain.
In the past, the Daqian Dynasty used to circulate copper coins among the people. The people of Copper Mountain Town could earn a living by working as laborers to mine copper.
But since the fall of the Daqian Dynasty, the order in Shuo Province had completely collapsed. Copper Mountain Town had experienced hundreds of roving bandits and rioters in recent years. Most of the people had died or fled, and the entire town had withered.
Today, most of the houses in Copper Mountain Town had collapsed. Occasionally, there would be some starving beggars in ragged clothes fighting with wild dogs for food.
When they saw martial artists passing by, they would immediately scatter in fear. Those who could not escape in time would kneel on the ground and beg for their lives. They kowtowed until their skin and flesh were torn. It was unbearable to look at.
In a relatively intact wooden house at the edge of the town, a thin and handsome young man paced back and forth from time to time. He looked outside with an anxious expression on his face.
"Why isn't he here yet? This Lin Xuan is too arrogant! I came from hundreds of thousands of miles away to see him! He didn't even let me through the city gate and made me come to this broken place to wait for him. He's too hateful … "
"No, no, I can't speak ill of Lin Xuan! Master said that Lin Xuan has a bad temper. If I irritate him with my mouth, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my life … "
The handsome young man rambled on. His expression was very conflicted, as if he wanted to complain about Lin Xuan but did not dare to. It was very interesting.
On a small mountain five miles away from the town, Lin Xuan's figure emerged from the ground. He took out a pot of wine and drank while using his spiritual power to observe the handsome young man in the wooden house.
He could tell at a glance that the young man was a girl dressed as a man. She should only be a girl around thirteen or fourteen years old.
"I didn't expect Ji Wenfeng to send such a weirdo to send a message."
Lin Xuan smiled in a carefree manner. His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, he appeared behind the girl in the wooden house and said lightly, "You want to see me?"
"Ah?"
The young girl cried out in alarm and almost jumped out of the window to escape.
Fortunately, at the last moment, she forcibly retracted her foot from the window frame and slowly turned around. Her large eyes sized up Lin Xuan with extreme vigilance. "You, you, you're Lin Xuan, Lord Lin?"
"That's right!" Lin Xuan nodded.
The young girl's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly cupped her hands and bowed, "Ji Family's servant, Zhao Ziqiu, greets Lord Lin!"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "En, Zhao Ziqiu, state your intentions!"
Zhao Ziqiu hesitated for a moment, and said nervously, "Lord Lin, can you … can you prove your identity?"
Lin Xuan was stunned and frowned, "How do you want me to prove it?"
Zhao Ziqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Lin, I heard that you've cultivated the Demon Lord Golden Body. Can you let me take a look?"
"Sure!"
Lin Xuan immediately circulated the True Gold, and a golden light flowed on his skin. A dense and vast aura was released and retracted, and his entire person quickly returned to normal.
Zhao Ziqiu heaved a sigh of relief and said joyfully, "It's done! It's done! Lord Lin, I've finally met you! My Young Master wants me to give you something! "
"What is it?" Lin Xuan asked.
"It's this! Ah — — "
Zhao Ziqiu opened her small mouth and spat out a white pearl, passing it in front of Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked at the pearl in Zhao Ziqiu's hand, and the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch. There was even a trace of saliva on the pearl.
Zhao Ziqiu seemed to have noticed this as well. Her small face turned red, and she hurriedly took back the pearl, using her sleeves to wipe it a few times, and then passed it in front of Lin Xuan again.
Lin Xuan did not immediately take it, and instead asked, "Zhao Ziqiu, how's the situation in the Flame Demon Association now?"
Zhao Ziqiu was stunned, and then said, "The Flame Demon Association is doing very well, and so is my Young Master."
"Oh?"
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, and asked in confusion, "Since the Flame Demon Association is doing very well, why did you come to the Saint Lotus Association for help?"
Zhao Ziqiu explained, "Lord Lin, although the Flame Demon Association is surrounded by enemies now, they have no problem protecting themselves, and do not need external help now.
The reason why I said that I came to the Saint Lotus Association for help was actually because the Family Head ordered me to. If you don't want to see me, then I will go back the way I came, and there is no need to pass this to you. "
"I see."
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He asked again, "Who is the current Family Head of your Ji Family?"
"The Family Head's name is Ji Donglai." Zhao Ziqiu said.
Lin Xuan nodded, and he seemed to understand something.
If he saw the messenger in the name of asking for help, he could still continue to be friends with Ji Wenfeng and Ji Xueyan on account of his past friendship with them.
However, if he turned his back on the Ji Family and refused to see the messenger for fear of being implicated by the Ji Family, then the result would be different.
At this moment, he was a little interested in the bead in Zhao Ziqiu's hand.
Under Zhao Ziqiu's hopeful gaze, Lin Xuan took the bead in his hand.
This was a bead carved from a memory divine crystal, and its function was much more powerful than a memory crystal ball, as it could record everything in the real world.
Lin Xuan probed the bead with his Spiritual Energy.
Buzz!
The bead vibrated slightly, and then a clear scene appeared in Lin Xuan's mind.
It was an empty grassland, with blue sky, white clouds, and a bright sun hanging high in the sky.
Ji Wenfeng was dressed in white, with his hands behind his back. He stood facing the wind, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. His gaze was fixed on the distant mountain, and there was a hint of ethereal charm about him.
He pretended to be pretentious for a while.
Ji Wenfeng sighed and turned around. His handsome face faced Lin Xuan, and he said with a smile, "Lin Xuan, time flies. We haven't seen each other for a few years. I heard that you've been hiding from place to place, and your days haven't been good. I miss you very much. "
Then, Ji Wenfeng's face turned serious, and he said seriously, "Lin Xuan, let's talk business. Three months from now, I hope you can come to the Demon Sealing Ravine. If you're lucky enough, you'll obtain great benefits! Remember to come. If you don't, you may regret it for the rest of your life! "
The scene flashed, and a devastatingly beautiful girl appeared in front of Lin Xuan, blocking Ji Wenfeng behind him. This girl was Ji Xueyan.
Ji Xueyan stuck out her tongue at Lin Xuan naughtily, and said in a sweet voice, "Big Brother Lin, you must come! Ah, the Memory Divine Crystal is about to be used up … "
The scene turned black, and the blue sky, white clouds, sun, and Ji Wenfeng and his sister all disappeared.
Lin Xuan withdrew his consciousness from the bead, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
From the scene recorded in the bead, this pair of brother and sister still had the leisure to put on airs. It seemed that the Ji Family's situation wasn't as bad as the rumors said.
In fact, it made sense. As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. The Ji Family, as the descendant of the Human Emperor, had operated in the True Martial Domain for hundreds of thousands of years. Even if they were caught off guard by the Chaos Temple and the Slave Sect, how could they not have a backup plan?
That was simply impossible.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but wonder about the invitation of the Ji Family's brother and sister.
He knew about the Demon Sealing Stream. It was the headquarters of the Demonic Shadow Sect, located in the southwest of the continent, five hundred thousand miles away from the Shuo Province. It was very close to the Sea of Demons and Demons.
He really couldn't think of any benefits waiting for him there.
He thought for a moment, looked at Zhao Ziqiu, and asked, "In three months, will something big happen in your Ji Family?"
Zhao Ziqiu frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "In three months? It's not a big deal! Oh, right, there is one thing. Our Ji Family is going to hold a clan gathering. I heard that even the Human Emperor's descendants who are scattered in outer space will come back. "
"A clan gathering of the Ji Family? What does this have to do with me? "
Lin Xuan couldn't help but be even more confused.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to think anymore. When the time came, whether he would go or not, he would let the Rhino's Horn decide.
Lin Xuan gave a jar of wine and a beautiful Dao Grade dagger to Zhao Ziqiu, and asked her to bring it to Ji Wenfeng and Ji Xueyan. Then, the two parted ways.
