Chapter 1122 Yun Zong's Provocation

"Grandpa, what exactly is the Black Spirit Pearl?"

Qianxun asked, but Master Qi didn't want to answer.

"Go, if it's later, it'll be too late."

Master Qi issued an order to expel guests, which made Qianxun feel unhappy but helpless.

The top priority was to defend Linghai City. Qianxun also knew not to waste time. After bidding farewell to his grandfather, he left with Zhou Ran.

The two of them traveled quickly, and after a few days, they finally arrived outside Linghai City.

Although it was only less than half a month, the scenery outside Linghai City had changed.

Originally, there was a prosperous scene outside Linghai City. The farmers living outside the city were responsible for farming, not only producing food, but also spiritual grass, and even raising monster beasts in captivity.

But now, the outside of Linghai City is in a mess.

Farmland was abandoned, houses were destroyed, and farmers were displaced.

"how so?"

Qianxun exclaimed. She and Zhou Ran had rushed back as soon as possible, but they were still too late.

Who is responsible for the desolate scene outside Linghai City?

"It seems your grandpa is right. If we come back too late, Linghai City will be destroyed. Fortunately, Linghai City seems to be fine."

Zhou Ran's expression darkened, and he pointed at Linghai City again.

The city walls of Linghai City were intact, and the scene outside the city was completely different.

"The situation outside the city is like this, doesn't Linghaimen care?"

Qianxun tightened her fists. Linghaimen regarded themselves as righteous, so many people came to seek refuge with Linghaimen. The farmland outside the city was always guarded by Linghaimen.

Although the sect leader is dead and his strength is greatly reduced, he should still protect his people.

“Let’s go into the city and have a look!”

Zhou Ran said something, but as soon as he finished speaking, a person appeared in front of him.

"Strong man, long time no see!"

The person who spoke was none other than Mr. Guo. Zhou Ran had saved Mr. Guo twice before, but Mr. Guo never had time to thank Zhou Ran.

"Mr. Guo, are you back again?"

Zhou Ran was a little surprised. In his impression, Mr. Guo should have left Linghai City long ago in order to avoid pursuit. Why did he leave and come back again?

"Actually, what we fear most is not the Linghai Gate, but the judge. Since the judge has left, I naturally want to return home." Mr. Guo smiled, "Strong man, I have never had the opportunity to let you sit in a humble house. I hope There is a chance this time.”

Mr. Guo's words made Zhou Ran and Qianxun look at each other.

But then I thought about it, Mr. Guo might have known something since he had lived in Linghai City for a long time.

"All right."

Zhou Ran nodded and went to Mr. Guo's home with Qianxun.

Mr. Guo's home was also destroyed, with only one room available. Mr. Guo entertained Zhou Ran and Qianxun in this room.

Despite the damage, Guo's home still had some surplus, and he used the small amount of food to entertain the two distinguished guests.

Zhou Ran and Qianxun accepted the hospitality in silence. After they were full, Zhou Ran asked, "Mr. Guo, what happened outside Linghai City?"

Mr. Guo sighed and said: "The Holy Temple allows each sect to build a city. Within the city wall, the sect must naturally protect it. However, in the regulations for sects to build the city, there is no restriction on the land outside the city. In other words, although Everyone admires the reputation of Linghai Sect and comes to seek refuge. However, Linghai City is too small after all, so they can only live outside the city. However, according to regulations, the outside of the city is not within the protection scope of Linghai Sect. In the past, Linghai Sect was very powerful, but there was no way to protect it. People dare to come here to cause trouble, but after the death of the sect leader, some people will take advantage of the temple's regulations! "

"Is it Yunzong?"

Zhou Ran said lightly, he had already guessed something.

"Yes." Mr. Guo nodded heavily, "After the death of the sect leader, Linghai Sect's strength was greatly reduced. Yun Sect, the sect closest to Linghai City, saw that the time had come and came to collect taxes outside Linghai City, and the tax was from Linghai City. Several times that of Haimen! In the past, Linghaimen only collected symbolic taxes. How could they tolerate the Yunzong lion? All the farmers refused to pay taxes, and the Yunzong began to destroy the land outside Linghai City. Linghaimen could only Stand by and do nothing to stop it.”

Mr. Guo's words were filled with frustration.

After all, this is his home, and if his home is destroyed, he will naturally not be in a good mood.

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "Yunzong took advantage of the temple's loophole and deliberately provoked Linghaimen. If Linghaimen forcibly interfered with this matter, Yunzong would use this as an excuse to attack Linghaimen, but Linghaimen's strength I am greatly reduced and cannot confront Yunzong head-on, so I can only turn a blind eye."

"Yunzong has gone too far!"

Qianxun tightened her fists, and the anger in her heart was self-evident.

Mr. Guo added: "Everyone who can leave has left. I'm a lot older and can't walk anymore, so I can only stay here. Even if I die, I won't leave."

Zhou Ran stood up and said: "Mr. Guo, thank you for telling us so much. Please rest assured that we will stop Yunzong's conspiracy!"

After saying a few words, Zhou Ran and Qianxun left Mr. Guo's home.

The two went straight into the city and came to Linghai Gate.

The new sect leader Lingxuan and the other sect members are in dire straits and don't know what to do.

"Sect Master, why don't you surrender to the Yun Sect? In this case, the Linghai Sect will be able to protect itself."

"But the former sect master despises the Yun Sect the most. How can we surrender to the enemy after inheriting the former sect master's legacy?"

"In that case, it is better to sue the temple. Yunzong's behavior has exceeded the bottom line!"

"According to the regulations of the temple, the scope of the sect's city construction does not include the outside of the city. Even if we go to the temple to argue, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Everyone was talking about it, but they still couldn't come up with an idea.

Zhou Ran and Qianxun walked into the Linghai Gate lobby. Everyone was surprised when they saw them.

"Zhou Ran, Qianxun, why are you here?"

Lingxuan looked at the two guests. Linghaimen was in a desperate situation and outsiders were avoiding it, but these two people came to visit at the cusp of the storm.

"Of course I will come, and grandpa asked me to come! Lingxuan, we are here to help. I hope you won't turn us away!" Qianxun expressed his attitude.

Zhou Ran also said: "Although Lord Qi cannot leave, he foresaw that Linghaimen would be in trouble, and he asked us to come here to help Linghaimen."

The words of the two moved Lingxuan deeply.

Qianxun didn't have much ability, but Zhou Ran was different.

This man had the power to create miracles. When the sect leader Lingwu was still alive, he looked at Zhou Ran with admiration.

With Zhou Ran's help, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Welcome you two, on behalf of the citizens of Linghai City, I thank you!"

Lingxuan was very grateful. Zhou Ran slowly came to Lingxuan and said, "Before leaving, Master Qi once told me to guard the black spirit bead at Linghai Gate. I don't know where this treasure is. Are you safe?"
