Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingxuan shook his head and said, "If you don't go, killing a Fire Vine King won't change the situation facing the empire today, but it will startle you."

She took a deep breath and said firmly with her eyes clear: "When I return to the Forbidden City, I will learn about the news about the empire's monsters as soon as possible. If I don't make a move, I will use the momentum of sweeping the acupoints in the plow court to sweep away all these evil obstacles!"

Lin Xun's eyes flashed with admiration, and said, "I support you."

At this time, Zhao Jingxuan can still keep calm, it is really rare to start from the overall situation.

"Let's go."

Zhao Jingxuan desperately wanted to return to the Forbidden City.

"it is good."

Immediately, the two set off.

On the way that followed, they encountered some areas where monsters were ravaging one after another, and some cities were even destroyed, leaving only the ruins of one place.

It is said that life is ruined, but that's all.

However, the closer you get to the core area of ​​the empire, the less there are traces of monsters appearing along the way.

This is because every city is stationed with a well-established army of imperial cultivators, and some big families and forces are united to resist and counterattack.

This made Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan breathe a sigh of relief, and the situation was not too bad for the empire.

However, what they saw along the way still made them feel that in the bustling and lively darkness, there was a tense and chilling undercurrent.

If the plague of monsters is not eliminated in one day, the empire will not be able to rest in one day!

...

after one day.

In the distance, a majestic and ancient city is entrenched, billowing purple air is steaming over the city, and under the sun, the entire city is dyed a layer of magnificent and sacred purple-gold color, magnificent and magnificent, as if it has existed since ancient times.

Forbidden City!

After a lapse of more than ten years, Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but be in a trance when they returned and saw the first heroic city in the empire.

"I just found out now that this city has the aura of crape myrtle in the sky, and the aura of feng shui in the four poles of the town. It has the potential to cover the eight wastelands and reach the ten directions.

Lin Xun put his hands on his back and his black eyes were shining brightly. His current cultivation base was already different from before. At a glance, he could see that this huge Forbidden City was actually a huge paradise, and the layout was orderly, which implied many mysteries, leading the way. The situation of heaven and earth is extremely incredible.

"That's natural, this is the imperial capital, the heart of a country, of course it's not easy."

Zhao Jingxuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Let's go."

Lin Xun took a deep breath and finally came back, giving him a sense of ease and joy like a tired bird returning to its nest.

Zhao Jingxuan snorted and swept away side by side with Lin Xun.

Along the way, Lin Xun's thoughts were flying, thinking of Lin Zhong, Xiao Ke, Lingjiu, Zhu Laosan and a group of old times.

Also remembered Ning Meng, Shi Yu, Ye Xiaoqi and other young friends.

Are they all right now?

And in the past few years, what changes have taken place on Xixin Peak?

Entering the towering ancient city gate with a height of 100 feet, you will see the prosperous streets, bustling crowds, and noisy and lively sounds.

As always, the Forbidden City is always so prosperous and lively.

Lin Xun and Zhao Jingxuan both restrained their breath and walked side by side on the street, watching the familiar scenes in front of them, their thoughts were flying.

"I am going home."

Not long after, Zhao Jingxuan stopped and looked into the distance with clear eyes, where there was a rolling ancient building, with red walls and golden tiles, exuding a glorious air.

That is the palace.

"Go, I should go back and have a look. If you have anything, remember to go to Xixinfeng to find me."

Lin Xun laughed.

"it is good."

Zhao Jingxuan nodded, then Xiaoyingying waved his hand and turned away.

Watching Zhao Jingxuan leave, Lin Xun took a deep breath and walked alone on the bustling street, walking towards the location in his memory.

The Xinxin Peak of the Lin family is one of the seventy-two peaks of the Mountain of Families, and it is one of the best places in the Forbidden City.

Naturally, Lin Xun couldn't remember the wrong location.

It was just halfway through, when passing a restaurant, a loud conversation caught Lin Xun's attention.

"The Lin family is about to end. If a crime of treason is convicted, everyone in the clan will be punished!"

"Not really, isn't it just a demon cultivator raised by the Lin family who defected? How can you say that the entire Lin family has betrayed the country?"

"Hehe, you don't understand this, why do you want to add guilt?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"I heard that it was a powerful man who set his sights on the Xinxin Peak of the Lin family. The world has changed drastically, and the seventy-two peaks of the family's mountain have also become a veritable 'Treasure Land'. Who can not be jealous?"

"There are also rumors that it was because in the past, the young head of the Lin family offended too many major forces."

"Didn't you say that the Lin family was blessed by the imperial family?"

"You don't understand. Over the years, the third prince Zhao Jingwen has been supervising the country and handling government affairs. As far as I know, the third prince Zhao Jingwen has a very close relationship with the Zuo and Qin families. If the Zuo and Qin families want to deal with the Lin family , how can the imperial family of the empire bless the Lin family again?"

"Hmph, you are all wrong. If the head of the Lin family, who was known as the 'crown covering the capital' was still there, who would dare to touch the Lin family?"

"Unfortunately, who doesn't know now that after the drastic change in the world, the head of the Lin family who went to practice in the ancient wilderness is destined to be impossible to return!"

...

There was a lot of discussion, and Lin Xun's eyes gradually became cold, and the joy of returning home was gone.

Treason?

What a big crime!

"It seems that I haven't been away these years, and the Lin family doesn't seem to have a good time..."

Lin Xun frowned.

It's a pity that from those conversations, Lin Xun couldn't learn any more news at all.

He took a deep breath, his expression became calm, and he walked into the distance.

No matter what happened to the Lin family over the years, since he came back, it was impossible to ignore it!

On the street, a chariot galloped past Lin Xun's side, and immediately, the chariot stopped abruptly, and a surprised voice came out: "Patriarch?"

Lin Xun stopped, looked back, and saw a young man in a jade robe jumping out of the chariot, looking at himself in disbelief.

Immediately, Lin Xun recognized the identity of the other party, Lin Xuefeng!

This person was originally the direct son of Lin Huaiyuan, the patriarch of the Beiguang Lin clan. Since Lin Xun unified the four major branches of the Lin clan, Lin Xuefeng has been serving on Xinxin Peak.

Moreover, Lin Xuefeng was also one of the first Lin family members who surrendered to Lin Xun that year.

"Xuefeng, long time no see."

Lin Xun smiled slightly. Whenever there is a calm atmosphere in major events, even if he is concerned about the current situation and safety of the Lin family, Lin Xun also knows that he can't be in a hurry until he finds out the situation.

"Patriarch, it's really you!"

Lin Xuefeng shouted in excitement, and his emotions suddenly lost control.

For more than ten years, he originally thought that he would never see this patriarch whom he admired and admired in his life, but he never thought, but at this moment we meet!

It made him feel like he was dreaming.

Lin Xun patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Calm down first, and then tell me what happened to the Lin family over the years."

Lin Xuefeng nodded. He took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood. He glanced at the surrounding streets and said, "Patriarch, this is not the place to talk."

With that said, he invited Lin Xun to the treasure chariot.

Sitting on the chariot, Lin Xun had a bad premonition in his heart, looking at Lin Xuefeng's unresolved worry.

"Let's talk, I have heard some discussions about the Lin family on the way."

Lin Xun's calm and calm aura made Lin Xuefeng feel a lot more calm, and said, "Since the drastic changes in the world, the situation of our Lin family has become more difficult..."

There was an indescribable bitterness in his voice.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion, "In the empire, is there anyone who dares to embarrass the Lin family?"

It should be noted that before he left the empire, he had already cleared all obstacles for the Lin family, and had suppressed the seven high-ranking clansmen, so they could only endure it.

The three high-ranking clans like the Hua Family, Song Family, and Qi Family, even in front of the dean of Qinglu College, resolved some misunderstandings with Lin Xun and eliminated their grievances.

In addition, when Lin Xun left, Zhao Tailai, the king of blood slaying, assured that he would bless the Lin family.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xun couldn't imagine who could move the Lin family in this Forbidden City.

"When you were there, the Forbidden City naturally didn't exist, but in these years, all the news has been spreading, and you will not be able to return from the ancient wasteland in your life, so..."

Lin Xuefeng sighed.

He didn't finish his words, but Lin Xun had a general understanding.

Doing the math, he has been out of the lower realm for more than ten years. When there is news that he will never be able to return, how could those forces that were originally hostile to the Lin family remain indifferent?

A long time ago, Lin Xun had understood that when he was in the Forbidden City, no one dared to touch the Feng Lin family.

In addition, with the help of the royal family's blood-killing king Zhao Tailai, whoever wanted to move the Lin family would have to weigh it.

But if Lin Xun couldn't return in this life, then everything would change.

People take tea to be cool, and human feelings are warm and cold. That's it.

"Does Zhao Tailai leave that old fox alone?"

Lin Xun frowned.

Lin Xuefeng smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "When the upheaval occurred, the Blood Killer King Zhao Tailai left the empire in a hurry. Before leaving, he specially instructed that if the Lin family was in trouble, he could go to the third prince Zhao Jingwen for help."

"Zhao Jingwen?" Lin Xun frowned.

He vaguely remembered this person. When he was teaching at Qinglu Academy, Zhao Jingwen seemed to be an extremely outstanding student in Qianlong Academy.

"Yes, in these years, the current emperor and empress have not appeared again. The third prince, Zhao Jingwen, has been supervising the country and handling the affairs of the state."

Lin Xuefeng said this, and his eyes couldn't help but glisten with helplessness, "But when we asked the third prince for help, we were repeatedly rejected, and we didn't care about the life and death of our Lin family."

Lin Xun snorted, but he didn't feel too angry about it. After all, it was unreliable to rely on external forces. It was not impossible to ask for help, and it was not impossible for him to be rejected.

Immediately, he asked: "What is the matter with the rumors that our Lin family is treasonous?"
