I said I would turn back time

On the way back to Shanghe County.

Because the horses they rode before were lost in the canyon, Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu could only walk forward at this moment.

Fortunately, there is a puppet girl with infinite strength and plenty of physical strength, who can lift Zhang Tiande and the luggage under the control of Master Bai to go on the road.

Soon they came to a nearby town and contacted a passing caravan.

Jing Shiyu didn't reveal her identity, she just paid money to get in the merchant's carriage, and set off with the caravan for the direction of Shanghe County.

Inside the carriage, several guys and bodyguards of the caravan couldn't help but look towards the rear of the car, their eyes lingering on Jing Shiyu's face as if uncontrollably.

A trace of boredom flashed in Jing Shiyu's eyes, and she pulled Lin Xing's body to block her.

Looking at the two young men and women leaning together, the men and bodyguards seemed to let out a sad sigh in their hearts.

Although there is also a beautiful girl who often carries a big man on her back, but that frosty face and the inadvertent display of great strength made the men in the carriage subconsciously stay away from each other.

At this moment, Jing Shiyu and Lin Xing were leaning together, whispering something.

"You have to know that the Xingxiao Sect is the overlord of the north, and that's their real territory. Whether it is power or strength, it is not comparable to Dongya Mansion."

"If you want to go to Taiqingmen, you will definitely encounter more threats from Xingxiao Sect."

"On the way back, I will try my best to tell you everything I know about Xingxiao Sect."

Lin Xing nodded when he heard this. He really needed more information about Xingxiao Sect.

However, Jing Shiyu did not specifically collect information about Xingxiao Sect in the past, and most of the information he got was fragmentary. At the moment, he was thinking and talking, and he said whatever came to mind.

"Unlike the new government in the south, the sixteen provinces in the north still nominally recognize the Emperor of Zhou as the emperor, and are governed by the new government from the north to the south..."

"The actual controllers of the northern provinces are the governors of each province, and the supporters behind the governors are often major sects and local powerful people..."

"Although the Xingxiao Sect has only been around for ten years, it has amassed a huge amount of wealth by selling weapons."

"There is also Tianshuzi, the leader of Xingxiao Sect. You also know that this person is said to have the ability to predict..."

"It is said that this person has encountered many adventures since his debut. Some people say that he obtained the treasure house hidden by the Star Dou Sect five hundred years ago, and only then did he create the current Star Dou Sect..."

"Some people say that he found the tomb of the former emperor and obtained the magic weapon that the royal family has worshiped for thousands of years..."

"Some people say that he once consumed the Ten Thousand Years Red Fruit, and his cultivation aptitude is unparalleled in the world..."

"These rumors are true and false. I've heard them one after another over the years, and it's hard to tell. But in general, this person has never been defeated since his debut. This alone is very scary..."

"Since two years ago, there have been rumors that he has mastered the third inheritance of the Celestial Master, but they are just rumors. No one has seen him take action for a long time..."

When Jing Shiyu talked about this, a thought suddenly popped up: "The leader of Xingxiao Sect has never failed since his debut, and he claims to have the ability to predict. If so, why did Xingxiao Sect fail to arrest Lin Xing twice?"

"Did he not foresee it? Or was it simply a mistake of his subordinates?"

"Or... the failure of the arrest was also part of his plan?"

…

Two days later, the caravan arrived at the county seat of Shanghe County.

After Jing Shiyu contacted the Tianyi Sect believers in the city, he brought Lin Xing and Bai Yiyi to his mansion and arranged for them to stay.

"Just treat this as your own home."

Jing Shiyu stood next to Lin Xing and said softly to him: "Now that my senior sister is not here, and I have been away for so long, I must have accumulated a lot of academic affairs."

"We also need to take precautions against the remnants of the Xingxiao Sect in Dongya Mansion. I will probably be busy for a while and won't be able to see you every day."

"Is Xingxiao teaching the remnant party?" Lin Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said expectantly: "If there is any danger, call me at any time."

If someone else said that, Jing Shiyu would only think it was superficial, but now hearing Lin Xing say that, she only felt a strong sense of heroism rushing towards her face, which made her feel at ease.

"That's right." Lin Xing remembered that all his talismans were used up in this battle, so he said, "Do you have any money? Lend me some."

Jing Shiyu did not ask Lin Xing what he wanted the money for, but directly asked: "Is five hundred taels enough?"

Seeing Lin Xing nodding, she said to the side: "Go to the accounting room to get five hundred taels of silver and send it to Mr. Lin."

Not far away, outside the courtyard gate, several girls were waiting there, looking anxiously in Jing Shiyu's direction.

One of the girls stamped her feet: "Oh, there are so many academic affairs waiting to be dealt with, master, is she still okay?"

"Look, Master has returned the money to him."

"Why haven't we finished talking yet?"

Seeing how talkative Jing Shiyu was in front of Lin Xing, the girls all had a look of surprise in their eyes.

After all, when Jing Shiyu was in front of them, he would always speak his mind and act resolutely, which was nothing like the little daughter's attitude now.

The girl named Shuting snorted, and said, "What do you know? Master has always only had the position of the leader of the Holy Church in his heart. When did he put his children's love in his heart?"

She guessed and said: "Master noticed that he was pouring ecstasy into this man. I'm afraid this man has an unusual identity, or he may have some special skills."

The girls on the side were all convinced after hearing this. This is what their master would do.

At this moment, Jing Shiyu came to the door, looked at them and said coldly: "Get ready, call all Jing Yuwei's men here."

"I don't care what method you use, spread the news throughout the counties of Dongya Prefecture within three days and tell them that I have news about Jing Yuwei..."

Jing Shiyu's words caused a scene of desperation, which also meant that there would be another bloody storm in Dongya Mansion.

Taking advantage of Jing Yuwei's subordinates being leaderless, Jing Shiyu then began to annex his power.

It's nothing more than a threat to win over, with both grace and power.

Congregants who were unwilling to switch to her sect were either squeezed out into sinecures or directly expelled from the Holy Cult.

In this process, Jing Shiyu gradually transformed all the Tianyi Sect members in Dongya Mansion into his own power.

As for Jing Yuwei's true whereabouts, of course she would not be able to tell her. She would not even tell anyone about the battle in the canyon for the time being.

Anyway, she is the only saint candidate left now. Jing Shiyu believes that as long as her strength in Dongya Mansion becomes stronger and stronger, the position of the real saint of the Heavenly Will Sect will fall into her hands sooner or later.

As for the future news of the canyon battle being leaked, there is no need to worry when she is strong enough by then.

In addition, she continued to take over the remnants of the party left by Zhang Tiande, appease the various factions in the mansion, contact the people of Xingxiao Sect in Dongya Mansion, and gradually expand her power and assets...

While Jing Shiyu was doing these things, Lin Xing purchased yellow paper and cinnabar, and drew symbols every day to replenish the consumption of the previous battle.

At the same time, he also started practicing another skill, which was the spiritual vision skill he obtained from Jing Shiyu.

The recent battles made him realize that his detection methods were limited, especially his lack of perception after leaving the body, so he gave priority to practicing this skill.

I saw him sitting cross-legged in the corner of the yard, waves of spiritual thoughts pouring out from between his eyebrows, sweeping through the surrounding space like layers of water waves, and then gradually feeding back the nearby situation to Lin Xing's heart.

As Lin Xing practiced, he found that he could perceive more and more information from the fluctuations of spiritual thoughts.

He pieced together and processed the information in his mind, constantly trying to piece together what the yard in front of him looked like.
