Chapter 77: Identity Exposed

  Xia Lin shook his head and walked up to the young man to untie him, also removing the white cloth stuffed in his mouth.

  "Ah——I almost suffocated——" the young man said with a big gasp, "Thank you for saving my life, may I ask your name?"

  "Never mind, I'm Xia Lin. Maybe you've heard of me. If there's nothing else, then hurry up and get down the mountain. Next time you're caught, I may not be able to save you."

  After finishing speaking, Xia Lin turned around and prepared to leave. As for Yao Nu's affairs, he really didn't want to get involved. He only happened to run into her today; otherwise, he wouldn't care much about it either. As long as she wasn't too out of line, he'd just let her do whatever she wanted. However, very soon, Xia Lin's figure was suddenly frozen in place by a young man's words.

  "Is it Xia Lin? The young master of Hei Feng Village? That cultivator?"

  Xia Lin's face changed greatly as soon as he heard the words, even if it was a matter of course for him to hide, but Xiuzhe... that was his biggest trump card, and he had never mentioned it before. At this moment, it was actually revealed by an outsider in one sentence.

  "Who are you?"

  "I?" The young man was taken aback for a moment before introducing himself: "I am Dongfang Xuan."

  Xia Lin looked at the young man who was a bit unaware and said: "Don't you know what happens when you reveal a martial artist's trump card?"

  Dongfang Xuan's face changed color.

  Bang!

  Summer knocked him out with one slap. This location is not suitable for discussing private matters, let's take him back first.

  Before long, I was back inside the room.

  At this time, Lü'er was still in cultivation, saw Xia Lin return and exclaimed: "Young Master, you're back."

  "En." Xia Lin smiled and nodded, throwing Dongfang Xuan to the ground.

  "Huh? Young master, what's this..." Green asked curiously.

  "A guy who doesn't know life or death." Xia Lin shook his head helplessly. "Go call Xia Ming over, I have some things to instruct him."

  "Alright, okay."

  "Bang!"

  Dongfang Xuan was woken up by Xia Lin once again.

  "Alright... now that you've appeared, Eastern Young Master, tell me, how did you know I was a cultivator?" Xia Lin asked as he sat down.

  Dongfang Xuan got up, rubbed his slightly sore wrist, and shrugged: "I've heard some things about you. Your body isn't strong, but your strength is boundless. You use red Xuan Qi, you're naturally talented and make rapid progress. I was originally just a bit suspicious, but when I saw you again, I basically confirmed it. Of course, the most important thing is that your surname is Xia..."

  "What's wrong with the surname Xia?" Xia Lin furrowed his brow.

  "In the ancient barbarian tribe, one of the five major families, the Xia family, isn't the operation of the Broken Sky Code a manifestation of red blood energy? I heard that you were originally unable to cultivate, but later suddenly had a rapid increase in strength, which is clearly a sign of innate talent awakening. Although I don't know why you suddenly awakened." Dongfang Xuan said with some puzzlement.

  Xia Lin smiled bitterly: "Is it that obvious?"

  "No, not at all obvious." Dongfang Xuan shook his head and said, "The three major systems of martial arts have now been reduced to two, and the practitioners have long been submerged in the long river of history, only the older generation would know. And the news that the Xia family belongs to the ancient barbarian tribe has also disappeared for a long time, if not for coincidentally seeing it on some remaining fragments, I wouldn't dare to confirm."

  "I see." Xia Lin nodded slightly, "So to say, you're still a genius?"

  Dongfang Xuan smiled proudly: "Needless to say, when it comes to the world's secrets, I claim to be second, and no one dares to claim first."

  Summer looked at this clichéd young man in silence... Doesn't he have any sense of crisis? He spoke a lot of nonsense in front of him, does he think he will let him go?

  "Do you think I'll let you go again?"

  "It doesn't matter." Dongfang Xuan shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, it's all the same to me wherever I am."

  Having said that, it seemed again that something was off, so he hastily added: "Of course, the woman's place is an exception."

  “……”

  Xia Lin looked at him with a slight headache. Why couldn't he just let Yao girl take him back to warm the bed? What was the point of getting involved in this trivial matter...

  "Rustle——"

  The door opened and Green led Xiaoming in.

  Young master.

  Xia Lin nodded and said to Xia Ming: "First take this guy away, just don't let him run off, the rest doesn't matter."

  "En." Xia Ming nodded and followed Dongfang Xuan down.

  "Young master, who is it?" Green asked strangely.

  "What kind of person?" Xia Lin smiled and looked in the direction where Dongfang Xuan was taken away, sighing helplessly: "A person who is full and has nothing better to do."

  The matter of Dongfang Xuan was a small episode. The night had grown dark and deep, and Xia Lin and Lü Er also retired early to rest.

  Time flies, and several days pass in the blink of an eye.

  The matter of Yinyang Mountain has also been settled, from top to bottom, all is peaceful and harmonious. Of course, Yao Nü's furious scolding of Xia Lin about Dongfang Xuan was an exception.

  As for Dongfang Xuan, I don't know if this guy is born with a brain problem or not, he doesn't have the slightest awareness of being inferior, and on top of that, he seems to really know many rumors and secrets, making people stunned, and soon became buddies with the Black Wind Gang disciples.

  Regarding the martial art, Xia Lin found Xia Man, unfortunately, there was no suitable martial art for him either. Either it was a powerful and rare martial art that only existed in the Condensed Sea Realm, or it was just some first-rate upper or second-rate lower martial art. After considering it for a moment, Xia Lin thought that even if he wasted his time practicing this thing to perfection, it still wouldn't be as powerful as the Lingfeng Palm, so he could only temporarily give up.

  It's actually been the past two days, because martial skills have been temporarily put aside and his realm has reached its peak, that Xia Lin has had some rare time to focus on Nianhun. He tried to cultivate the Nianli pattern, and after a few days, his progress in Nianli surprisingly increased by a segment, becoming Zeroth Stage, Second Segment - an unexpected delight.

  As for Lü'er's progress, it's better not to mention it. The number of Nianli segments that rose sharply made Xia Lin's eyes turn red with envy. This gap is really not ordinary.

  Yu Lian was still at the peak of her cyclone boundary, without any change. However, after Cong Xue Cao, Yu Lian's body seemed to have become somewhat different. Her so-called assassination technique also required a more harmonious body, so now Yu Lian always exuded an air of danger that made Xia Lin occasionally look at her with trepidation.

  It's no wonder, with two girls by his side, one a super genius in magic and the other a super genius in martial arts, the pressure on him is imaginable. Fortunately, he himself is also a super genius in cultivation, so he won't feel inferior. The three major systems of martial arts are indeed occupied by these three people.

  "How much longer until the Jiang family incident?"

  "Four and a half months."

  "Very well." Xia Lin's eyes flashed with a cold glint, "The four major strongholds, we have already taken down the Yin Yang Mountain, and there are still three more: Di Sha Gang, Hu Wang Zhai, Chi Yan Zhai! Which one is closest to us?"

  Xia Ming pointed at the map and said, "From the location of Yinyang Mountain, the closest place is Dibao Gang!"

  "Di Sha Bang?" Xia Lin smiled slightly, "Interesting."

  Xia Ming hesitated for a moment, planning and strategizing was not his strong suit, but he still said: "Young master, the closest to us is the Di Sha gang, they also know. If we make a move, it's very likely that we'll directly face a joint attack from the other three major gangs, the odds of winning are not great."

  "Are you saying they've probably already joined forces with Dielie Gang?" Xia Lin smiled slightly.

  "Yes."

  "What's needed is for them to join hands." Xia Lin smiled, "Tell Yao Nü, let the news spread from Yin Yang Mountain, three months later, Hei Feng Fortress, hold a grand celebration, Yin Yang Mountain merges with Hei Feng Fortress, and invite the three major fortress masters to attend!"

  "Also, inform the Black Wind Village disciples and the Yin Yang Mountain disciples to prepare for departure."

  "Target, Linjiang City!"

  "Linchang City?" Xia Ming's face changed greatly, joking, is that a place that can be invaded? Don't mention just the few of them, even if the five major mountain strongholds were to come out in full force, there would only be one outcome - death!

  A strong returnee can slap them all to death with just one palm!

  Xia Lin looked at his tense appearance and laughed: "What are you thinking? Do we not need to purchase a large amount of materials for the celebration ceremony? Must we even rob these things? We'll go with the disciples of Yinyang Mountain to Linjiang City to make purchases, then prepare."

  "Yes." Xia Ming let out a sigh of relief and hastily went off to make arrangements.

  Xia Lin smiled slightly and muttered to herself: "Indeed, it's just procurement of materials, only... this matter, is just an aside..."

  As expected, Xia Lin conquered the Yin Yang Mountain, merged the two strongholds and was about to hold a grand celebration banquet, which spread throughout the entire Linjiang City.

  Everyone who heard the news reacted with: "A tiger father begets no dog son", this new village head has great courage!

  As the saying goes, a new official takes office and sets three fires. This new leader of the mountain stronghold did just that, giving the mountain stronghold a dose of confidence at a time when everyone thought the new leader might not be able to manage it well and wondering if there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. With one swift move, he took down the Yin-Yang Mountain and once again expanded the Black Wind Stronghold. This move has a similar brilliance to the actions of Xia Man twenty years ago, when he merged with several small strongholds in the surrounding area and became one of the five major strongholds in one fell swoop.

  The grand banquet was even more extraordinary and breathtaking.

  Directly invited several other Shanzhai, explicitly told you that our Xia family is the undisputed first in Linjiang City, this is a declaration, a warning, and also a deterrent.

  Under the analysis of many experts, Xia Ming's actions were analyzed very thoroughly.

  At this time, the most entangled one was the leader of the Di Sha Gang.

  Xia Lin took down Yinyang Mountain with one move, intimidating the four mountains! He tensed up instantly, jokingly saying, "If I can take down Yinyang Mountain, can't I take down Dibei Bang?"

  Not just him, but also two other mountain stronghold owners are worried.

  Faced with this situation, they can only consider uniting!

  Three villages unite and can contend with the current Heifeng Village and Yinyang Mountain, otherwise if they are pulled out to act alone, they will absolutely die a miserable death.

  So the three families quickly united, and since the main force of Heifeng Gang was on Yinyang Mountain at this time, soon all the disciples of various gangs were united in Dixia Bang, closely monitoring everything on Yinyang Mountain.
