"Rumble! Rumble!"
"Rumble! Rumble!"
Under the cover of the night, the land of Yan County was filled with the sound of thunder. The pale lightning flashed across the sky above the prefect's residence.
Like a giant, he raised his hand and tore the sky apart. However, the shattered night sky condensed again in the blink of an eye.
"Pay attention."
The centurion in charge of patrolling swept his sharp gaze across the surroundings as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes."
The soldiers responded in unison.

True qi spread, and wisps of cold air wrapped around Lin Xuan's body. It changed unpredictably, and three different internal strengths wrapped around him.
His 30% Vital Qi was getting more and more refined. When he reached the 30% Vital Qi, he would become a Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster.
long time
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and the internal strength in his body dissipated. In the room, there was an additional figure. With the help of the pale lightning, one could vaguely see the outline.
His entire body was covered in a black robe, and even his face was wearing a comical mask.
"Master."
The black-robed man knelt on one knee and spoke in a deep voice.
"You've worked hard all these years."
Lin Xuan landed and felt the increasingly dense aura on the black-robed person's body, revealing a satisfied smile.
"It's not hard to serve Master."
the black-robed man replied.
"Have you figured it out?"
he asked.
The black-robed man took out a thick book from his sleeve, stood up, and handed it over with both hands."The details of the various officials and clans in the County of Yan are all in there.”
Lin Xuan received it and immediately opened it to look at it carefully.
"There's also a main family."
He raised his eyebrows.
"The Lin Clan of Qi County is the wealthiest clan in Yan County. They control more than half of the salt and iron weapons in the county and have a close relationship with the Northern Python and the Duoyan Tribes of the Huqiang.”
The black-robed man said, The Lin family sells countless grains, salt, and iron to the Duoyan Tribes every year.”
"This is a big fat sheep."
Lin Xuan rubbed his chin and said,"What's the relationship between Dongyuan County's Deputy Mayor Lin Ruhai and Qi County's Lin Clan?”
"It has nothing to do with me."
The black-robed man said," Lin Ruhai is not a native of Yan County. He was born in Yongzhou and entered Yan County eight years ago. He has been the county magistrate since then.”
"The Lin Family has been rooted in the Land of Yan for thirty years. Their influence is intertwined and they have many followers. They even have a private army of about a thousand people.
Lin Zhentian, the current family head, was in the Vajra Realm and ranked tenth in the martial arts world of Yan.
His second brother, Lin Zhennan, was a Rank-2 Master from Qingzhou, Xu Yan. He was currently in the school.
The third brother, Lin Zhenbei, was in charge of the Lin family's weapons and salt and iron business. He often appeared in the Qiang land.”
"The Lin Family also has three iron mines and eight weapon smelting workshops. They are all in the Great Fu Mountain.”
"I didn't expect that the small County of Yan would actually have such a huge force hidden within it.”
Lin Xuan became more and more interested in the Lin family.
"Other than that, Lin Zhentian also has a Profound Finger Realm expert as his guard.”
"Tell me about the Wuliangha Tribes.”
he said.
"The three tribes of Wuliangha are Duoyan tribe, Taining tribe and Fuyu tribe. Among the three tribes, Duoyan tribe is the strongest with 30,000 cavalry, Taining tribe is second with 20,000 cavalry, and Fuyu tribe is the weakest with 15,000 cavalry.”
The black-robed man said," The three tribes are connected by the same spirit and branch. They advance and retreat together. They are extremely powerful among the Qiang tribes.”
"Because the He Lan tribe offended Duoyan tribe, they were forced to move west. Even more than half of their territory was taken away, so they had no choice but to come to Yan County every year to plunder.”
"Master only needs to deal with the Lin family and he will be able to completely control the entire County of Yan.”
"Not bad, not bad."
Lin Xuan chuckled,"Looks like sending you to Yan County was the right decision."”
The black-robed person's heart trembled. Back then, he was puzzled why Lin Xuan would send him to such a bitter and cold place.
But now that she thought about it, it seemed that everything was under the control of this man in front of her.
The imperial court issued an edict, the Battle of Shuo Yin, and even the rumors of Northern Liang.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this man was terrifying. He was like a bottomless abyss that she could never see or touch.
"Jingni, how is the development of the network?”
The black-robed man paused. He had not heard this name for many years.
"I thought Master had forgotten my name.”
The mask on her face was removed, revealing a beautiful face that was soul-stirring. There was a hint of coldness mixed within her charm.
Those eyes were extremely deep, but Jingni felt as if she was naked in front of him.
She could not see through Lin Xuan and the governor of Yan County.
"How many years has it been?"
Lin Xuan looked at her and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"It's been ten years."
"This servant hasn't seen Master for ten years." Jingni licked her scarlet lips.”
"Sorry to trouble you."
He sighed.
Jingni was drawn by Lin Xuan during the first system draw. Other than her life and death being controlled by Lin Xuan with a thought, she was the real Jingni.
The Network Assassin.
Back then, after Jingni sent Lin Xuan to Northern Liang, he went to Yan County to establish the Network Assassin Organization.
In other words, this move had started ten years ago.
"There are ten Heaven assassins under the Network, all of whom are grandmaster realm martial artists, fifty Earth assassins, and hundreds of Human assassins.”
Jingni slowly said,"Even the Northern Liang army has been infiltrated by the net."”
"Do you even have your spies by my side?”
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"No, I haven't."
Jingni shook his head.
"Really?"
Lin Xuan waved his hand. Jingni lowered his head and walked over to sit on his lap.
"I wonder how much your martial arts have improved over the years.”
Lin Xuan chuckled and raised her chin to look at it carefully.
"Of course it has improved a lot. If master doesn't believe me, you can check it yourself.”
The black robe fell to the ground, and the candle flame was extinguished. Accompanied by thunder and lightning, a violent storm followed.
It drowned out the noise in the room. After four hours, Jingni finally put on her black robe and disappeared into the boundless rain and pitch-black night.
No one noticed it, as if it had never been there.
The candlelight lit up again. Lin Xuan was wrapped in a thin inner robe as he stood by the window sill and felt the wind and rain coming his way.
The heavy rain fell, and the grass, trees, bamboo, and stones rustled. Some yellow willow leaves swayed beside the pond not far away.
"Lin family."
He muttered to himself,"It's best to be tactful."”
The strong wind whipped up the rain and slapped the door and windows. Footsteps could be heard from outside.
"Young Master, are you still awake?"
The eldest servant girl, Mu Qing, stood at the door with a candlestick in her hand and called out softly.
"Come in."
Hearing Lin Xuan's voice, she gently pushed open the door.
"It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?”
His tone was extremely gentle.
"I was sleeping, but I was woken up by the wind and rain. I saw that the lights in Young Master's room were still on, so I came over to take a look.”
Mu Qing put down the candlestick, took the outer robe, and put it on Lin Xuan.
"It's cold at night. You have to be careful not to catch a cold.”
