Chapter 362: Prelude to Transcendent Advancement, Assassination

"Thank you for reminding me. I will learn it."

As long as the skills related to nothingness are involved, there is a high probability that one's existence will disappear. This danger cannot be avoided.

Fortunately, Mu Lin believes that his foundation is solid and it is not too dangerous.

After he nodded in agreement and settled the matter, the northern gentry was obviously relieved.

Their basic goal has been achieved.

Then, they invited Mu Lin to join the North - although they knew that there was little hope for this, the northern gentry still proposed it, and the conditions they offered were also very good.

Ordinary treatment, such as priority supply of resources and the promise to give Mu Lin the opportunity to compete for the military leader, these are not mentioned.

Even these people promised Mu Lin that if he was interested, the northern gentry could support him to become king.

It was not rebellion.

In this world where great power belongs to oneself, most of the strong are very individual and independent, and do not want to be constrained.

In addition, there are big sects to restrain them, which makes the royal family of Daling more like a nominal co-lord, or a Western-style aristocratic king system, rather than the centralized power of the Eastern feudal era.

Therefore, there are kings of different surnames in this world.

"The north is very large, and there are many wastelands now. With your strength, Mulin, and the support of our nobles, you have a chance to be crowned king..."

Such words made Mulin somewhat moved.

Because of the city god, Mulin really needs a territory that is completely under his control.

In the inland, such a territory is hard to get.

Now, Mulin has only occupied a small area in Ping'an Ancient County.

And in that area, Mulin's city god is also half-hidden and dare not be directly disclosed.

But going to the north, these problems will disappear directly.

There are a lot of unowned lands there. As long as Mulin is strong, he can occupy as much as he can.

In addition to being conducive to development, Mulin also understands the principle that no eggs will be left intact when the nest is overturned.

He and the human race are a community of shared destiny, and the northern nobles are the front line to resist the evil spirits of foreign races.

If he had no ability, it would be fine. If he had the ability, he would not help. When the northern defense line was broken and the human territory fell, Mu Lin felt that his situation would not be very good.

Of course, although Mu Lin wanted to contribute to humanity, he would not put himself in danger.

Therefore, he planned to send a large number of paper man clones to the Northern Wilderness to help resist the monsters and demons, while his original body would stay in the safer southeast hinterland.

Well... Mu Lin's clones were basically indistinguishable from the real ones, so Mu Lin would not talk about the clones.

...

After hearing that Mu Lin was going to the Northern Wilderness, Qing, Tieta, and Lu Hao were all extremely excited.

Even Luo Chen, who had been defeated by Mu Lin, had bright eyes.

However, after hearing that Mu Lin was only going to the north to help and was not going to participate in the ongoing dispute between the north and the south, they... sighed again.

It's not their fault, it's really in the eyes of these people.

Mu Lin's strength is good, and he can be called the first among the young geniuses.

His talent is even more extraordinary, and he has the opportunity to become a heavenly master in the future.

But the future is the future, and the present is the present.

At this moment, he can only be called a young strongman, not a real strongman.

Therefore, Mu Lin's current trip to the north is just to add one more extraordinary combat force to the Northern Wilderness.

And such combat force, one more, will have almost no impact on the situation in the north.

Whether it is Tieta, Qing, Luo Chen, or Lu Hao, who is at the level of earth master, they all believe that Mu Lin's biggest role now is to coerce the south with them and make the south pay a huge amount of resources.

Such behavior is more useful than having a hundred Mu Lins in the north.

Unfortunately, doing so is to completely offend the southern gentry.

Mu Lin is not stupid, and he knows very well that more friends mean more roads. He is not going to offend the northern gentry, nor the southern gentry.

Well, such behavior is a bit fence-sitter, but people without value will be called so.

People with ability are called having both sides.

In the end, Lu Hao and the others still failed to persuade Mu Lin.

When leaving Mu Lin's house, several people sighed.

Tieta: "It's a pity that we didn't completely pull Mu Lin into the northern camp. In this way, even if we can win, it will only be a small victory and we can't achieve our goal at all."

"Look at it more openly. At least, Mu Lin has promised us not to continue to attack, and he is also going to go to the north in a while to stop the monsters for us."

"What's the use? The Northern Wilderness is so big. Let alone a Transcendental, even a Earth Master can't turn the tide. If you want to save everything with your strength, you must at least have the cultivation of a Heavenly Master, and you must be a strong Heavenly Master. Mu Lin does have the possibility of growing into a Heavenly Master, and the probability is still very high, but it will take him many years to grow into a Heavenly Master, but we in the north don't have time."

"..."

After this, the rest of the people were silent.

Finally, it was the deputy legion commander Lu Hao who spoke.

"Okay, don't worry, Beihuang will be fine. The military commander never puts all his eggs in one basket. Since we can't do that, let's use the next plan."

At this point, Lu Hao's face suddenly became fierce: "Hasn't the southern gentry always proposed that we give up useless territory and stick to one side? Well, we will give up some areas as he wishes."

"But after giving up the territory, where to stick to is not something they can decide."

"I look at the Jiangnan area, it is a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

...

Mu Lin was not aware of the other plans of the Northern Wasteland, but he felt their disappointment.

Mu Lin was not angry about this... Although he felt that he could change the situation a little by going to the north.

But without seeing it for real, it was inevitable that those people would not believe.

And their attitude towards him had always been very good. Even if they were disappointed, they did not threaten him and were willing to support him. Mu Lin was already satisfied with this.

"Continue to let the Gangsha merge... If nothing unexpected happens, in three days, my Gangsha Qi will be completely transformed into Xuanhuang Qi, and then it will be the time for me to advance to the Transcendent Realm and completely condense the Dharma Body."

Thinking of this, even Mu Lin was excited.

The condensation of the Dharma Body can awaken the magical powers.

For example, although Luo Chen was defeated by Mu Lin, his strength did increase by dozens of times when he advanced to the Transcendent Realm, and he could even turn his flesh and blood body into a disaster body.

Even after he advanced to the Transcendent Realm, he could call out the thousands of disaster spirits with words, and even make the disaster spirits take shape.

These abilities were quite strange, and Mu Lin was a little envious:

"I don't know what magical powers I will get when I advance to the Transcendent Realm..."

Mu Lin, who was practicing, was looking forward to it. What made him helpless was that before he could practice for too long, someone came to his door again.

The people who came this time were Yan Yunyu and Si Ye. They received a message from the family and told him about the conversation between the southern nobles in the secret room.

After hearing the attitude of the Lu family, Mu Lin felt annoyed.

"Sure enough, no matter where you are, you can't avoid such things."

After sighing, Mu Lin said directly to Yan Yunyu: "Spread the news outside, saying that I will go to the north to participate in the war against the evil demons in a while. Also, spread the news that the northern nobles invited me."

The Yan and Chu families are not morally kidnapped, and Mu Lin is naturally the same.

He knows the truth that one punch is better than a hundred punches.

The current situation is a test of the bottom line. Mu Lin has no doubt that if he retreats, those aristocratic families will never think of his kindness, but will think that he is cowardly, and then step by step to test his bottom line.

——Mu Lin has never had any illusions about the aristocratic families in this world. He knows that the many resources of the aristocratic families are never obtained for free, but are plundered from ordinary people and ordinary cultivators.

All aristocratic families have original sins, and none of them are clean.

They treat him well just because he is talented, or because they think that provoking him will cause trouble and trouble.

Therefore, Mu Lin wants to let them know that what they think is right, and provoking him will indeed cause endless troubles.

Only in this way can he prevent others from having delusions about him.

...

Yan Yunyu and Si Ye easily understood what Mu Lin meant.

"Do you want the Lu family to pay a price? I understand, but how much exactly?"

"As much as you can ask, if I am not satisfied, we will directly join the northern nobles."

"Huh?!!"

This surprised Yan Yunyu and Si Ye.

"Isn't this a bit too impulsive?"

"It's not impulsive. The south is stable, but because of the stability, the land here is owned by someone, and there is no room for me to develop. On the contrary, the north is full of wars and is very eager for combat power. In that area, as long as you have strength, you have the opportunity to rise to the top. For me, developing in the north is better than in the south."

In layman's terms, the south is stable and suitable for initial development.

But after growing to a certain extent, if you want to develop again, this stability becomes a shackle.

Originally, Mu Lin was grateful for this stable environment and did not want the south to suffer too much loss, so he wanted to leave quietly and not get involved in the dispute between the north and the south.

But since the nobles had first thought about him, he would not be polite.

"...I understand."

Both Yan Yunyu and Si Ye were a little worried about Mu Lin's decision.

They wanted to stay in the stable south, so that even if they practiced slower, they would be safe.

However, they knew that their current status was mostly dependent on Mu Lin.

If he left, they had to leave as well.

So, after Mu Lin made his decision, they did not dare to refute, but hurried to follow Mu Lin's instructions.

The two of them left, making Mu Lin feel that he could finally practice.

Then, before the time of an incense stick was up, he sighed and opened his eyes.

Someone else came over.

What made Mu Lin frown even more was that he did not know the man, and he did not mean to report, but just rushed in.

——On the periphery of Mu Lin, Yan Yunyu and Si Ye arranged many people, which was to serve and prevent idle people from approaching, so that they could not disturb Mu Lin's practice.

Even before the arrival of the northern nobles, a servant came to inform Mu Lin, so that they could prepare, and then they met.

But now, the man walked straight ahead, ignoring the servants' shouts.

"Stop."

"Stop."

"You can't get what you want by forcing your way in, and you will only offend Lord Mu Lin..."

"Asshole, stop him."

Seeing that no matter how much they shouted, they couldn't stop the man, the team leader arranged by Yan Yunyu immediately shouted angrily and asked people to use force to stop him.

However, before they could do anything.

"Boom!" A terrifying aura immediately exploded from the person who came.

As the aura bloomed, the person no longer concealed his intention, but burst out at a very fast speed, and rushed towards Mu Lin.

"Little ghost, your life will be taken by this old man!"

"?!!"

"Assassination?"

"Is the Lu family so decisive? Just after offending me, they want to kill me?"

To be honest, the sudden assassination shocked Mu Lin.

He was not frightened by the attack of others, but was surprised that someone dared to do this.
