The Strongest Landlord in History

There were countless holes in the ground, and the earth and rocks on the mountain seemed to have been turned over. There were cracked soil and crushed rocks everywhere.

Lin Lan could even see some giant trees covered by mud from some piles of rocks.

Lin Lan looked around, and all he could see was a desolate land that had been overturned.

And in the middle of this half of the barren mountain, there was a huge wooden stake standing there.

More than twenty corpses, whose stomachs were pierced with wooden stakes, were arranged closely on the wooden stakes.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Because there was no forest barrier on this side of the mountain, Lin Lan could clearly see the wooden piles and corpses standing halfway up the mountain, and he immediately walked down quickly.

"Boss, how about we go around?"

The Kirin-armored beast lay on Lin Lan's shoulder. It still had the same spirit as when it first came to Evil Wind Valley.

"The person who can easily destroy such a big mountain must be at least a high-ranking fifth-level martial artist. It's too dangerous for us to go there now!"

"Where did all this nonsense come from? If there were really strong men with high level five martial arts guarding here, we would have been discovered long ago."

Lin Lan rushed down quickly, his eyes fixed on the more than twenty corpses strung across by wooden stakes.

There are thousands of miles of steep mountains and forests outside the Evil Wind Valley. You can enter the Evil Wind Valley from anywhere.

The reason why Lin Lan chose the path he was taking now was because on the map marked by the Lord of Qingdi City and the woman in red, the elders of Qingdi Sect were on the straight line connecting where he stood with the core of Evil Wind Valley. superior.

So he couldn't take a detour.

"Those people in front of me should have nothing to do with the Qingdi Sect. Their locations marked on the map are still deeper!"

Lin Lan quickly rushed to the huge wooden pile halfway up the mountain, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly!

"Boss, these people actually..."

The Linjia Beast lay on Lin Lan's shoulder in fear, with fear in his voice.

"The human monk who took action was really cruel! Not only did he kill these people, he also tore off their faces."

"Even their clothes were cut into tatters. Boss, why did that person do this?"

"In order to strike fear into the hearts of those who followed, after seeing this scene, I stopped thinking about going deeper into the Evil Wind Valley."

Lin Lan raised his head and scanned the pile of corpses from top to bottom, which was taller than two people.

"The person who did it cut off these people's faces and torn their clothes. He wanted to show latecomers like us that he did not kill people because of hatred."

"But kill everyone you can, regardless of identity!"

"It's so perverted. If only we monsters could just eat it and spit out the bones and leave them here."

Lin Lan gave the Kirin-armored beast a blank stare: "When have you ever eaten a human?"

"I'm talking about other monsters. Don't you know, boss, that I am a vegetarian?"

Linjiao Beast said, and took out another wild stone.

Whoosh!

Lin Lan didn't wait for the Qilin-armored beast to fill its mouth with the barren stone. He quickly swept his arm from the Qilin-armored beast's mouth and grabbed the barren stone.

"The desolate aura of the desolate rocks is too special and easily attracts attention. During these days in Evil Wind Valley, you two should endure it for now."

"Boss..."

The Linjiao Beast really wanted to cry without tears, and even the little giant turtle on Lin Lan's other shoulder made a dissatisfied sound.

After devouring a large amount of waste rocks, even the little giant turtle seems to be able to understand human speech.

"Do you also want to have your face cut off and then be strung together?"

Lin Lan threw the waste stone back into the Qijia beast's storage ring and asked with a smile.

"Then you'd better not eat, right, Xiao Hei?"

While the Linjia Beast was talking to Lin Lan through the spirit beast formation, it also made two sounds.

The little giant turtle nodded hurriedly.

Although its turtle shell is hard, it can still be strung together from its head to its tail.

"There are many footprints on the ground around here, all coming down from the top of the mountain."

Lin Lan looked down at the land around him and whispered.

"And judging from the footprints, many people who passed by here stopped here."

"However, there was no pair of footprints, so he walked back."

Since this half of the mountain peak had been beaten with martial arts and was filled with rocks and mud, Lin Lan could easily identify the footprints on the ground.

"Human monks are really not afraid of death."

The Linjia Beast couldn't help but sigh.

"That's because the temptation of Evil Wind Valley is too great, and..."

Lin Lan frowned and looked in the direction of the core area of ​​Evil Wind Valley.

"And most of the people who pass by here probably have the same idea as us."

"This place is still very far from the core area of ​​Evil Wind Valley. The battle here happened a long time ago."

"If you go in from this direction now, you shouldn't encounter the perpetrator."

"Boss, shall we continue walking?"

"Go a little distance first, but always be careful."

Lin Lan took the Linjia Beast deep into the Evil Wind Valley again.

The further inside he went, the more uncomfortable he felt.

After walking forward for about two or three miles, Lin Lan had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

straight

Only then did Lin Lan finally realize where the faint sense of crisis in his heart came from.

"You...do you feel that the bloody smell around here seems to be getting worse?"

"seems like it."

The Kirin-armored beast moved its nose slightly.

"Although after we left those corpses, the blood around them became lighter."

"But in the recent distance, the bloody smell has been strong and light, and it has no intention of dissipating."

"We have been two or three miles away from the human pile, and the smell of blood around here is still so strong. This is a bit abnormal."

"There might be something else going on ahead."

As expected by Lin Lan, when he led the Kirin-armored beast out of the ruined mountain and went deep into the dense forest again, he found that the smell of blood in the forest had become even richer again.

At this time, the Linjiao Beast also relied on its keen sense of smell to find the starting point of these bloody smells.

"Boss, the source of the bloody smell is in that direction, and there seems to be a living person there!"

Lin Lan nodded slightly to the Linjiao Beast, and at the same time restrained his breath, and gradually moved closer to the direction where the smell of blood was coming from.

After walking forward for about seventy feet, Lin Lan's spiritual sense finally realized what the source of this bloody smell was.

In the center of the dense forest, there was a big tree that had been cut into wooden stakes with weapons. On top of the wooden stakes, more than a dozen corpses that had begun to rot were placed.

Different from the first human flesh pile, this human flesh pile in the dense forest did not seem to have serious signs of fighting around it. It was just that a few big trees collapsed around the human flesh pile.

As the distance got closer, his spiritual sense gradually scanned the big trees far away from the human flesh pile, where some high-level martial monks were hidden.

"What are those people doing here? Could it be that they made this second human stake?"

Lin Lan suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "There are seven people in total, five of the second-grade high martial arts, and two are martial arts monks in the extreme martial realm of the third-grade high martial arts."

"If I go directly there, without exposing Xiaolin, I will definitely not be their opponent."

After all, Lin Lan was alone. After weighing the pros and cons, he prepared to retreat.

However, he had just retreated less than ten feet when he suddenly discovered that a high martial arts third-level monk within the range of his spiritual perception had activated.

A distance of several tens of feet can be reached in an instant for a strong martial artist.

Keng!

Lin Lan's ice sword stood proudly in the air, pointing directly at the figure flying over.

"Brother, don't rush to take action. We don't have any harm."

Whoosh!

A green figure flashed past Lin Lan quickly, and then, a gentle voice came from the front.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Lan looked at the young man in green robe standing in front of him warily and frowned.

"Brother, don't be nervous."

The man in green robe smiled slightly, then waved lightly to the top of his head, and three men and two women jumped down from the big tree above his head.

Together with the man in green robe, these people stood in front of Lin Lan.

"Um?"

Lin Lan looked curiously at the man in green robes in front of him. He was the only monk with a high level of martial arts among the six people around him.

However, according to Lin Lan's spiritual sense, the one who poses the greatest threat to him is the last high-level martial arts monk who has not yet appeared.

"Brother, don't worry, we have no ill intentions in looking for you."

The man in green robe smiled slightly and explained.

"Actually, we have discovered you since you just showed up on the mountain opposite."

"There are so many of you here just to wait for me?"

Lin Lan put away the ice sword and said calmly.

"We are waiting for someone strong enough to enter the Evil Wind Valley together."

"Brother, you also saw the human pile. It was deliberately placed by the martial arts master who came in early to intimidate the people behind."

"Their purpose is to prevent the people behind from having the courage to continue approaching inside."

The man in green robe always had a faint smile on his face and his tone was very kind.

"So in order to deal with possible dangers ahead, you just choose to wait here and join forces with other people who come in?"

Lin Lan understood.

It turned out that the other party was not looking for trouble, but did not dare to go in and stayed here to look for help.

"There is strength in numbers."

The man in green robe said softly.

"This is still just the outskirts of Evil Wind Valley. There must be more difficulties waiting for us inside."

"I think brother, you only have the strength of a high-level martial artist. If you try to break through alone, it's almost impossible to survive. Why don't you consider our proposal?"

Lin Lan felt something moving in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "If I am with you, will I become part of those human flesh piles?"

The green-robed man immediately said: "If you, brother, choose to be with us, we will make an oath of heaven with you. We will never kill each other within the scope of Evil Wind Valley."

"The oath of heaven?"

Lin Lan's eyes lit up.

The Oath of Heaven is a legal constraint on this continent.

The martial arts masters on this continent dare not violate the oath of heaven, otherwise they will suffer from the mainland's Yuan Dao.

Qi blows back.

It can range from total loss of cultivation to a more severe condition, from the sky thundering to the top and being wiped out in ashes.

The martial arts monks in Guangwu Continent are practicing outside, and using the power of oaths is indeed an effective method to restrain temporary allies.

"Well, an oath of heaven! If you are willing, brother, we can make an oath together right away."

"Of course, if you want to go in alone, we can make way for you immediately without any force."

"Hey, boy in black, if you want to agree, do it quickly and don't be too nagging!"

At this time, a second-grade martial arts monk behind Lin Lan shouted at Lin Lan.

"Song Ye, don't talk too much!"

The man in green robe frowned.

"It doesn't hurt to give this brother more time to think about it."

"Before I agree, I need to know your identities."

Lin Lan glanced at the four men and two women in front of him.

The woman in red who was blocking Lin Lan's right said coldly: "After we form an alliance, you will naturally know our identities."

"If you are not with us, why should we tell you our origins?"

"Junior Sister Hong, I am in charge of things here."

The man in green robe glanced at the woman in red with a look of shame on her face, and then said to Lin Lan:

"To be honest, my name is Guan Xiao, and I am with my two junior sisters Hong Ruo and Cao Yuan'er, as well as my two junior brothers Qian Hao and Bi Fang."

"We are from Yutong Academy."

"As for Brother Song Ye behind you, he joined us later. I can't say more about his origins."

"Besides, we have a friend who is exploring the way ahead. If you are willing to join us, you can see him later."

"I've always been alone and have no background."

Song Ye said in a loud voice.

"Okay, I agree to form an alliance with you for the time being, but the agreed conditions are that we cannot kill each other. You cannot restrict my actions for any reason in the future."

"Hmph, how can a mere first-level martial monk get so many conditions!"

Hong Ruo looked at Lin Lan coldly.

"If you don't agree, I will have no choice but to leave by myself."

Lin Lan was too lazy to look at Hong Ruo, who was born with a widow's face, and looked directly at Guan Xiao, waiting for his answer.

"It seems that this brother should already have a friend in front."

Guan Xiao could see Lin Lan's thoughts at a glance, with a smile still on his face.

He said: "Okay, I promise you!"

After the two parties reached an agreement, Lin Lan then made an oath of heaven with Guan Xiao and others.

At this time, the last high martial arts monk hiding in the tree stopped hiding and jumped down from the tree to join Lin Lan and the others.

"Are you Lin Lan?"

The last third-grade martial arts monk to appear was a middle-aged man.

His eyes scanned Lin Lan's body up and down. He already knew Lin Lan's name when Lin Lan made the oath just now.

"Does this senior know me?"

This middle-aged man was much older than Guan Xiao, so Lin Lan unconsciously used the honorific title.

"My name is Baili Jun."

Baili Jun's gaze seemed to be fixed on Lin Lan, and he refused to look away for a moment.
