Nine Heavens God-killing Technique

Chapter 1045 Xuanxin City, Gu Xin'er

Xuanxin City is not a big city that ranks on the first level. Compared to the Xia family, it is much weaker.

According to Xia Heng, Xuanxin City belongs to the Liuhe Sect, a second-tier super power, and needs to pay tribute to the Liuhe Sect every year.

This tribute is the batch of ore in Lin Chen's hand.

The area where Xuanxin City is located has poor resources and is a bitter cold land. The ore is the only resource that can be obtained.

It is precisely because Xuanxin City is poor and weak that Liuhe Sect has no interest in settling in Xuanxin City. Otherwise, like Tianhe Zhengzong, they would send strong men down to the lower realms to personally supervise various matters.

However, the Liuhe Sect exploited Xuanxin City a lot, and the Liuhe Sect set a very harsh tribute quota for the only resources it had.

This amount requires Xuanxin City to work day and night, and it can be collected without any accidents. ??

Leave yourself with very few resources for development.

Once the tribute cannot be paid on time, the Liuhe Sect will impose severe punishments, and Xuanxin City is already in turmoil.

This time the tribute was stolen by air thieves, which was a huge disaster for Xuanxin City.

Once the Liuhe Sect becomes angry, they will not be able to bear it and many people will be executed!

"Just send back the tribute and leave. We don't have time to waste here." Mo Lin asked, looking out the window and it was already snowing.

They were approaching Xuanxin City. This place was cold all year round. Recently, the weather has become even worse and snow has begun to fall.

"It depends on the situation," Lin Chen said.

"Humph", Mo Lin snorted.

"Do you have any other plans?" Xiang Tiange sat next to Lin Chen and asked.

She is still getting used to her own strength, and through previous battles, she has gained a new understanding of herself.

"We have to wait and see, maybe there will be some unexpected gains," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Gu Xin'er, after all, her surname is Gu, right?

The big boss behind the God List said that Gu Xindao once lived in the heavenly world, and it is normal to have descendants or inheritance here.

Now that they have met this time, Lin Chen certainly wants to give it a try, what if Gu Xin'er is the descendant of Gu Xindao!

Now that the big boss behind the God List mistook him for Gu Xindao, it is best for this misunderstanding to continue forever, so that Lin Chen can remain invincible.

Otherwise, once exposed, Lin Chen would be under a lot of pressure.

After all, one of the six bosses, Mabel Asmode, has returned to the Black Demon Sea with part of her power.

When we meet in the future, the possibility of intersection is very high.

If Lin Chen didn't have a better understanding of Gu Xindao and show more relevant characteristics, he might no longer be able to pretend.

However, it is not very likely that Gu Xin'er happens to be a descendant of Gu Xindao, let's take a look first.

The flying treasure ship sailed quickly and arrived at Xuanxin City half a day later.

At this moment, heavy snow is flying, black clouds are gathering in the sky, and the whole world is gloomy, giving people a strong sense of depression.

Xuanxin City is located on a small plain, surrounded by barren land, dark mountains, and the cold Gobi.

At this moment, Xuanxin City was lit with lights, the city gates were open, and a convoy was returning from the outside. It was not going very fast, and half of them were wounded.

This is the mining team from Xuanxin City, but from the expressions of these people, we can tell that the harvest this time is not great. Everyone is worried and even showing despair.

The convoy slowly entered the city, and the cold outside was finally blocked, and warmth returned to the body.

Xuanxin City has a defensive formation, but it only has one level. However, it can be seen that there are several formations that have not been turned on, probably to save money.

Consumption.

"The conditions are really difficult," Zhou Yu couldn't help but say.

They quietly entered Xuanxin City.

In Xuanxin City, the street lights are not bright, and there is a sense of depression everywhere. Many people are walking around, but they are all coming and going in a hurry, and the business of the shops along the street is bleak.

There was no light of hope on everyone's faces.

The conditions here are far different from the Xia family's imperial city.

Lin Chen and the others followed the convoy and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Xuanxin City. The so-called City Lord's Mansion was also very simple. It could only be regarded as a separate courtyard elsewhere.

A man got off the motorcade, a burly rough man. He walked quickly to the front door of the mansion, and a group of people inside had already come out to greet him.

Under the dim light, you can see that the leader is a woman, wearing simple clothes. Although she is young, she already has a somewhat calm and confident aura. Everyone is surrounding her and regards her as the backbone.

I don't know whether it was because she was too tired, but her beautiful face didn't have much color and looked very pale.

A young woman has provoked the whole family and even the whole city. The hardships must be inevitable, which also shows that there is really no one in the Gu family.

"How's the situation?" Gu Xin'er glanced at the motorcade, her beautiful eyes dimming slightly, but she didn't show any disappointment or displeasure.

The rough man said with a bitter mouth, "Master, ghost fog appeared in the mining area this time. The brothers suffered heavy losses, and the ore obtained was less than three-tenths of the expected amount."

"I know," Gu Xin'er whispered.

"I am ashamed of my master!" The rough man blamed himself.

"Uncle Six, it's not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself too much." Gu Xin'er shook her head.

"But as it is now, we can't make up for the tribute at all. If the Liuhe Sect is held accountable, what should we do?" the rough man said with a sad look on his face.

"I will handle these matters. Uncle Liu, please take everyone down to heal and recuperate first," Gu Xin'er said.

The rough man wanted to say something more, but finally shut up. After all, it was useless and could not change the status quo.

The convoy entered the city lord's palace, the ore was stored in the warehouse, and the personnel went down to rest. Gu Xin'er glanced at the dim sky and sighed.

"Master, what should we do now?" an old man asked from the side, extremely worried.

"We can't hide the Liuhe Sect's tribute. Let's take out the supplies from the warehouse to pay it first," Gu Xin'er said.

Hearing this, the old man's expression changed, "Master, that is the only accumulation of our ancient family. Once it is used up, we will not be able to support any changes in the future!"

"Let's get over the current difficulties first," Gu Xin'er said.

Seeing her insistence, the old man couldn't say anything more, and his mouth was filled with bitterness.

Life on the first ladder is already difficult, and now they are being exploited like this. How can they have a future?

"Let's do this for now. The Liuhe Sect's envoys are coming. I will try my best to deal with them. If they can be lenient, there may be a turn for the better," Gu Xin'er said.

The old man gritted his teeth, looked angry, and snorted coldly, "The Liuhe Sect is not so kind."

Gu Xin'er's expression did not change. Even if she didn't have good intentions, what could she do? People were like swords and I was like flesh and blood. If you couldn't fight, you could only submit.

"Let's go do something," Gu Xin'er said.

Everyone else left and started to sort out supplies. Everyone felt uneasy about this incident.

Gu Xin'er also planned to go back home, but suddenly she was stunned for a moment.

On the street, four people wearing cloaks were walking towards them.

It seems that these people were not there just now.

Gu Xin'er frowned.

Xuanxin City is lonely and cold, with few resources. Usually no outsiders come here, but today four of them came at once.

Moreover, it seemed to be directed at her.

Gu Xin'er calmed down, and an array plate in her hand slowly lit up, and the entire array in the City Lord's Mansion would be activated for her.

"Is this girl Gu Xin'er?" Lin Chen and the others walked up.

"It's me, who are you?" Gu Xin'er said warily.

"We are travelers from the upper stairs, and we happened to come to see you if we have something to do," Lin Chen said with a slight smile.

Gu Xin'er frowned and went up the stairs to find her. Could it be that she was from the Liuhe Sect.

Gu Xin'er hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to get out of the way and made a "please" gesture.

Anyway, please come into the house first and then talk.

Entering the city lord's palace, he sat down in a side hall, but Lin Chen was the only one here, while Mo Lin and the others were in the pavilion outside.

Mo Lin was not interested in what was going on here. He just hoped that Lin Chen would seize the time and leave.

Zhou Yu and Xiang Tiange are both getting familiar with the power. They are not in a hurry, they just think that Lin Chen can handle this matter and they don't need to worry about it.

In the side hall, Gu Xin'er did not choose to sit in the host's seat, but sat face to face with Lin Chen. She smiled and said, "Master, drink tea. Although Xuanxin City is a bitter and cold place, this tea is not bad."

good."

Lin Chen took a sip and said, "It's a little dry."

Gu Xin'er smiled bitterly and said, "What do you call the young master?"

"Shang Tiange."

"I wonder why Mr. Shang came to this bitter cold place from the upper stairs?" Gu Xin'er asked, a little nervous.

"Girl, don't worry, we have no ill intentions, we just want the property to return to its original owner," Lin Chen said.

Immediately, Lin Chen threw a space ring to Gu Xin'er.

Gu Xin'er was a little surprised. She took the space ring, hesitated for a moment, and then put her senses into it. Then her eyes flashed and she stood up suddenly.

In the hall, there were strong men from the Gu family standing by the side. Seeing this, they were all shaken by power, and the light of souls was spinning.

Lin Chen didn't care, and continued to take a sip of tea, and said with approval, "Now that I'm feeling better, this tea is really good."

Gu Xin'er calmed down and waved her hands to let people put away their strength. She looked deeply at Lin Chen and said in a deep voice, "What does Mr. Shang mean?"

"I just picked up something and returned it to its original owner." Lin Chen smiled.

Gu Xin'er's expression was stagnant. She was a weak woman, but she shouldered the responsibility of her family and struggled to survive in this bitter cold land. She was used to intrigues and exchanges of interests.

She immediately rejected Lin Chen's simple reason.

"Where did the young master get this batch of supplies?" Gu Xin'er asked.

"In the hands of air thieves," Lin Chen said.

Air pirate!

This batch of goods was indeed robbed by air pirates, but the air pirates have been entrenched in the sea of ​​clouds on the stairs for a long time, and even the forces on the upper stairs are difficult to eliminate. She, Gu Xin'er, is completely helpless against the air pirates, let alone recapture them.

This person in front of me can actually do it?

In other words, he is the air pirate himself!

"It seems that the girl still doesn't believe it." Lin Chen smiled bitterly. In Gu Xin'er's situation, it was normal not to believe it. "I read the girl's letter and knew that you were in a difficult situation, so I was willing to travel thousands of miles to send back this batch of goods."

Gu Xin'er's eyes flashed

, although I still have doubts, I can't help but feel joy pouring out of my heart.

The lost and recovered batch of tributes was really great news for her!

Regardless of whether what Lin Chen said was true or false, she had no reason to refuse.

"Young Master is a great kindness, and I will never forget it, little girl!" Gu Xin'er saluted respectfully, "I wonder if Mr. Shang has any assignments. If I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"I don't dare to take the job. I've always been good at picking up gold. This is just a simple task. However, I do have something I want to ask the girl about," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Young master, it's okay to just say it," Gu Xin'er said.

Lin Chen glanced at the others. Gu Xin'er understood and raised his hand to ask the others to leave first.

She is not afraid that Lin Chen has any bad intentions. After all, if Lin Chen dares to come here, he will not be afraid of their Gu family. No one can stop him from doing what he really wants to do.

"I want to see the girl's genealogy," Lin Chen said.

Hearing this, Gu Xin'er's expression changed, and she was very surprised. She had thought about many possibilities, and even thought that the other party wanted her. After all, there was not much that Xuanxin City could offer.

But she didn't expect Lin Chen to be interested in her ancestors.

"It's possible, but sir, can you tell me why?" Gu Xin'er was also a little curious.

"My lineage may have some connection with your ancestors," Lin Chen said.

Gu Xin'er opened her mouth, the reason was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Okay", Gu Xin'er nodded. Although she didn't know whether Lin Chen was talking nonsense, it was just a look at the family tree, and it was indeed not a big deal.

And if they can take the opportunity to get involved with the forces on the upper echelon, it will be a good thing for the Gu family. Maybe they can get out of this predicament!

"Master Shang, please come with me," Gu Xin'er stood up.

But at this moment, the old man from before came to the door in a hurry, his face full of anxiety.

"Third uncle, what's the matter?" Gu Xin'er frowned slightly.

"Master, the people from the Liuhe Sect have arrived," the third uncle said in a deep voice, and then lowered his voice, "The person who came here is not good, he is the young sect leader who went down to the realm before!"

Gu Xin'er nodded, her face didn't change much, but her fingers were clenched and turned white.

"Let's go and meet. With the tribute sent back by Mr. Shang, I believe there will be a good result." Gu Xin'er said. It was time to talk to the Liuhe Sect. Now they can hardly support the tribute share.

, if possible, I hope the share can be adjusted downwards.

"Mr. Shang, please wait a moment. I'll be back as soon as I go," Gu Xin'er said apologetically.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "No."

Gu Xin'er was startled and looked at Lin Chen in surprise.

"Since the girl promised me first, I can't wait any longer. Let the others wait," Lin Chen said lightly.

Lin Chen didn't know what Liuhe Sect was, but why should he wait?

"But..." Gu Xin'er looked embarrassed. It was impossible for her to offend someone from the Liuhe Sect like this, let alone the young sect leader.

But she couldn't see through Lin Chen, and she didn't know what his temper was.

"Gu Xin'er, you are so arrogant now. When I came, you didn't go out and kneel to greet me. You are still procrastinating now. Don't you take me seriously?" But there were already angry shouts outside.

Rings.

Immediately, there was a loud noise, and a young man stepped on the formation and strode in.

"I heard that you are receiving guests, what a loud tone!" Yuan Tianhe looked around, and glanced at Lin Chen, "Did he give you the courage?"

Then he pointed to the three Mo Lin people not far away, "Or a few of them? Huh?"
