Chapter 100: Breaking Out of the Siege - Chapter 101: Entrustment

  Yang Tong directly turned around and flew towards Tianxiangshan Fangshi, which was the fastest way to get to Gengxing City.

  "What are you going to do?" Lin Yueyun asked in surprise, this direction is towards the Tianxiangshan Market.

  "Tianxiang Mountain Town has a teleportation array that goes directly to Gengxing City." Yang Tong replied calmly.

  "But do you know how many people are looking for you over there?" Lin Yue asked.

  "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?" Yang Tong glanced at Lin Yueyin and asked with a playful smile.

  "Hmph, my life and death are still in your hands. If you die, I won't be able to live either." Lin Yueyin understood the ruthlessness deep within Yang Tong's bones, that wasn't something that could be faked. Lin Yueyin absolutely believed that if Yang Tong were in mortal danger, he would definitely drag her down with him to death.

  "What's it to you, whoever blocks my way, I'll kill them!" Yang Tong said calmly. Yang Tong wasn't stupid, suddenly appearing like this, the Lin family definitely didn't have any preparations, in the chaos, how much strength could they gather to surround him? As long as he entered the city, everything would be safe.

  Tianxiang Mountain Town is not Lin Family's territory. Although the Lin Family has a significant influence in Tianxiang Mountain, they cannot control the transmission arrays in the town.

  Yang Tong was flying through the clouds, but when he approached Tianxiang Mountain Town within a radius of ten miles, he had to stop and land, using his flying disc motorcycle to continue on his way. Why? It's simple: the area around Tianxiang Mountain Town is covered by a forbidden airspace array, which is used to prevent the invasion of barbaric beasts.

  Yang Tong could still hide his figure in the air, but as soon as he landed on the ground and rushed to the road by motorcycle, he was immediately discovered by many passing monks.

  "Master, isn't that Yang Tong, the one from the Lin family's wanted list?" a young apprentice of the 7th grade pointed at Yang Tong and said to a powerful martial artist of the same grade beside him.

  "Huh, it's really him. How strange, how dare he appear here?" The martial artist asked back in surprise.

  "Master, shall we capture him? This is a hundred high-quality crystal stones!" the young man said greedily.

  "No, we can't stir up this muddy water, but passing on a message is no problem." The middle-aged Wu Ling master smiled and flipped his hand, and a spiritual message appeared in his hand. He took a side photo of Yang Tong from afar and sent it to the Lin family's reward phone number.

  The person in charge of the Lin family on the other side was shocked and said, "Confirm that there is no mistake. How much is your account? We will transfer one billion spiritual coins immediately, or you can come to collect 100 middle-grade crystal stones personally."

  "My account is XXXXXXXXX, just transfer the spiritual coins directly." The Wu Ling Master smiled and replied, this was an unexpected fortune, one hundred million wasn't a small amount after all, it was just a message.

  At the same time, after a while, Lin's family kept receiving news from others, but only the first three people got 100 million, and everyone else was late because Lin's family had already confirmed that Yang Tong was going to Tianxiangshan Fangshi.

  All the forces stationed in Linjia Village, Tianxiang Mountain, and Fangshi City were withdrawn and rushed to the outside of Fangshi City to surround Yangtong.

  At the same time, Lin's main base also received the news.

  "Master of the house, we've found the whereabouts of Big Sister and Yang Tong." A high-ranking expert from the Lin family rushed into Lin Jin's study to report.

  "Where is he? I'll go see for myself this little guy who dares to take away my precious daughter, and see if he really has three heads and six arms!" Lin Jin said coldly. "Immediately gather the family's manpower and head to Tianxiang Mountain City first, block him before he can enter the city. We can't let him enter the city." Lin Jin knew that if Yang Tong entered the city, the Lin family wouldn't dare to kill him in public.

  The Lin family received the news, and naturally, other forces in Tianxiang Mountain also received the news. The news spread like wildfire in Luoxing City, and soon everyone knew about it.

  The Zhao family was also considering whether to lend a hand, but the result was vetoed by the head of the Zhao family. If they really lent a hand, it would be equivalent to going all out against the Lin family, which would not bring any benefits to the Zhao family.

  Lin Jin was about to lead his men to the city hall, taking the teleportation array.

  Just then, the butler of the Lin family ran over and whispered to Lin Jin: "Master, something's wrong. The transmission array at the Municipal Hall has malfunctioned. The mayor has announced that it will be suspended for repairs and will take a day."

  Lin Jin Kuang furrowed his brow upon hearing this and said in a low voice, "How coincidental is that?" Was someone secretly manipulating things to prevent him from going to Tian Xiang Mountain? Lin Jin Kuang's naturally suspicious nature led him to think of this, but he quickly dismissed the idea. If it were true, what kind of power would be needed to achieve that? The Zhao family didn't have the capability to shut down all the transmission arrays in the city for a day, and neither did the Lin family.

  It's not an external force, then it's really a coincidence.

  "How many people are gathered on the other side of the city?" Lin Jin asked hastily.

  "Not many, just over twenty Wu Ling Masters." The steward replied.

  "Not enough!" Lin Jin was well aware of Yang Tong's combat power, and the losses they had suffered in those years. The Lin family still hadn't recovered from that blow, and it would probably take thirty or forty years to replenish the lost fighting strength.

  Lin Jin Kuang suddenly thought of something, took out the Ling Xun order, and contacted someone: "Xiao Feng Shifu, my daughter and that little thief Yang Tong have appeared in Tianxiang Mountain City."

  "Oh? I see!" A cold female voice came over and then the call ended.

  Lin Jin Kuang didn't mind the other's attitude, instead he laughed happily, "Haha... it's really heaven helping me, what a coincidence, Yiner's master is just nearby."

  At the same time, a large reward was offered and many scattered cultivators were gathered to block Yang Tong's entry into Fangshi! Lin Jin was still unsure, so he ordered...

  The bounty was posted quickly, and many scattered cultivators joined Lin's team in pursuit of the reward, blocking Yang Tong's path outside the city.

  This is a barbaric land, where the laws of the kingdom have been weakened to the extreme. What can Yang Tong do even if he is a spiritual tool master?

  "Do you really want to stop me?" Yang Tong beckoned with his hand, and the Qingfeng sword flew into the air, "Those who block my way shall die!"

  Yang Tong pointed with one hand, "White Rainbow!" Fifty meters away, a Lin family expert only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.

  "Ah!" The crowd was stunned, a fifth-level Grandmaster of the Earth Element was killed in one move?

  Yang Tong recalled his flying sword, pointed it straight up, and launched another "White Rainbow" attack, instantly killing a Lin family master of the seventh level.

  This is the Yuqing Broken Cloud Sword, the first move White Rainbow and Rosy Clouds. Within 50 meters, a swift strike can break through any opening, like clouds and mist that leave no gaps! Moreover, the opponent was wearing a third-grade battle armor, while Yang Tong was using a fourth-grade flying sword.

  Yang Tong immediately followed up with another move, and another Lin family master died. Yang Tong was still very measured in his actions, he didn't take advantage of the loose cultivators, but instead used the Lin family masters to establish his dominance.

  The Lin family's masters were all shocked and trembling with fear. They also did not expect that Yang Tong would have such great strength.

  "This is a grudge between the Xia and Lin families, are you really going to intervene?" Yang Tong glanced at these scattered cultivators indifferently.

  These scattered cultivators were quite bold, they originally had no grudges against Yang Tong, they just came for the reward, only to stop Yang Tong from entering Fang City, but who would have thought that Yang Tong was so formidable, everyone naturally gave up on this reward, and the scattered cultivators all withdrew from the Lin family's camp.

  "Let's go up together!" a powerful master of the eighth level of the Earth Element shouted, leading the Lin family team.

  "Halt!" Lin Yueyin shouted loudly.

  The Lin family masters who were about to charge forward suddenly stopped in their tracks.

  "You are no match for him, retreat." Lin Yueyin ordered calmly.

  "Big sister, could it be you..." Lin Jia's team leader hesitated.

  "It's all right, this order was given by me, and my father won't blame you." Lin Yueyin flatly refused.

  Lin Yueyun glanced at Yang Tong and said lightly, "Let's go in." Lin Yueyun had guessed that Yang Tong was originally a divine intent master, so how could he not use mental force weapons? But guessing was one thing, seeing Yang Tong use flying swords to kill people with his own eyes was still incredibly shocking. A high-handed person of the earthly level, probably no one was his match! This kind of ethereal and unmatched demeanor, no wonder he could confidently take himself away from the transmission array in the town.

  Hundreds of people on the scene watched as Yang Tong and Lin Yueyin walked into the Bao City, heading towards the transmission altar in the center of the Bao City.

  Inside the city, those who came running to see the excitement were even more numerous.

  Suddenly, a sense of oppression descended, this was the oppressive might of a Sky Tier cultivator. Everyone present was only at the Earth Tier level, and naturally they felt an unbearable sense of powerlessness in the face of this oppressive might.

  Only a small number of strong and determined individuals can stand firm on their ground.

  "Do you want to leave? You little thief, how dare you kidnap a disciple of the Mingyue Sect! I'll let you know the power of the Mingyue Sect." A cold and detached female voice came over, and a beautiful woman wearing a blue Daoist robe walked over from not far away.

  "Master?!" Lin Yueyun cried out loud.

  Yang Tong finally understood that this woman was a disciple of Mingyue Sect and also Lin Yueyun's master.

  "Hum! Who dares to be so presumptuous in the old man's market, don't you know the rules of the market? Xiao Feng, you young ones from Mingyue Sect are getting more and more arrogant!" A cold hum came from a pagoda in the center of the market, directly dispelling Lin Yueyun's spiritual pressure.

  The pressure disappeared, and the onlookers, including the loose cultivators and representatives of various major forces, all let out a sigh of relief.

  An old man with a long eyebrow suddenly appeared in the center of the field, just separating Yang Tong and Xiao Feng Shuai.

  Chapter 101 Entrustment "Junior pays respects to Senior E," said the Venerable Xiaofeng, bowing respectfully and repeatedly saying, "Xiaofeng dares not."

  "Greetings, Master Bao." The crowd of loose cultivators who had gathered to watch the commotion all bowed and greeted him in unison.

  "Alright, you've had your fun, now it's time for you to leave." Old Man Yi said with a wave of his hand.

  The crowd of onlookers reluctantly left one after another. The house's Void-level expert had spoken, who dared not to leave?

  "Xiao Feng, what are you still doing here? Don't tell me you actually dare to make a move in the market?" Old Man Yi glared at Xiao Feng's wife with a warning.

  "The junior doesn't dare, it's just that this person kidnapped the junior's closed-door disciple Lin Yueyin. The senior also knows that Mingyue Sect is a single transmission, and the junior is worried about the safety of the apprentice. As long as this person releases the senior's apprentice, the junior will naturally turn around and leave." Xiaofeng Shitai's momentum was suppressed by Old Man Yi, and she didn't dare to release her pressure in the market like before, which actually broke the rules of the market.

  "Is that so, young man?" Old Yi turned around and took a closer look at Yang Tong, his heart filled with surprise. Ninth level of the Great Earth? This progress is too fast, could it be that old friend wants to make an old man take action.

  "How dare I abduct Lin's daughter? If you don't believe me, Senior can ask her in person." Yang Tong replied respectfully.

  "Lin Jia, your master said you were kidnapped by this person, is it true or false? If it's true, then you can come out and I'll take care of it for you. If it's false..." Old Man Yi looked at Master Xiao Feng halfway through his sentence.

  "If it's false, I'll leave immediately and never bother this young man again." Xiaofeng Shitai also saw that this Yi Fangzhong seemed to have come for the sake of this young man.

  The three people present all looked at Lin Yueyin.

  At this moment, Lin Yueyin is quite contradictory. She was indeed kidnapped and she does indeed hate Yang Tong very much and wants to leave his control. However, when she wanted to decide whether to follow her master and leave, she thought of the past three years, a period that made people feel angry, hateful, ashamed, fearful, loving, and unforgettable. She thought of Yang Tong's terrifying potential, many details, including the future of the family, and so on. At this time, she was in a dilemma.

  Lin Yueyun looked at Yang Tong with a blank expression, then looked at her own master in the same way, and finally gritted her teeth to reply: "Reporting to senior, junior is not being kidnapped, but traveling together with Mr. Yang, practicing together. It's just that junior's communication spirit device was destroyed in an accidental encounter, unable to contact outsiders, so it was misunderstood by family members."

  "Yueyin, do you know what you're saying?" Xiaofeng Shitai's face sank, and she said coldly and severely.

  "Master, apprentice..." Lin Yueyun's face turned pale and hesitated.

  "Alright, since nothing's wrong, everyone can disperse. Xiaofeng, you recklessly released spiritual pressure in my market, disrupting the order of the market. I will personally hold your great-grandfather accountable for this matter. You may leave now." Yi Lao said with narrowed eyes, his gaze warning.

  "Yes, junior takes leave." Xiao Feng didn't dare to be rude in front of Old Man Yi. If she continued to insist, it was possible that Old Man Yi would really take action and kill her. She was very clear about this old man's strength and methods. If she were killed here, the Mingyue Sect wouldn't have any place to reason with. After all, she was the one who broke the rules first.

  Xiaofeng Shitai really left just like that, without any hesitation. Although not very satisfied with the result of this trip, after all, her own apprentice was safe, although she didn't know what happened in between, Xiaofeng Shitai still saw that Lin Yueyin really didn't want to leave with her.

  "Good job, kid." Old Man Yi smiled slyly and nodded at Yang Tong. As a seasoned veteran, how could he not see through some of the underlying implications? He just chose not to point them out.

  "Thank you, senior, for helping me out of this situation." Yang Tong respectfully bowed and said.

  "No need to be polite with me, I'm just doing someone a favor. This is something an old friend asked me to pass on to you, take it." Old Man Yi tossed over a storage ring.

  After Yang Tong acknowledged his master, he opened it and took a look. Inside, there were more than 1,000 high-quality crystal stones and many refining equipment materials.

  "What's this?" Yang Tong asked in puzzlement.

  "This is what Old Man Huang entrusted to me to give to you, saying it's a reward for your experience." Easy Old Man replied with a smile, and at the same time, he took out a token and said: "I believe you will choose to leave Quixing County or leave the Imperial Wing Kingdom. If you're interested, you can go to the Six Faction Alliance, where there is a very interesting secret realm that is about to open. I happened to obtain this Secret Realm Token on my trip, and with it, you can enter the secret realm. Who knows, you might have a great opportunity. Consider it an old man's gift to you when we meet, so Old Man Huang won't say I'm stingy."

  "Senior, isn't this too valuable?" Yang Tong really didn't dare accept it.

  "You take it, this secret realm can only be entered by those below the Heavenly Sky level. I'll just give this token to a junior to try their luck." Old Man Yi said, stroking his eyebrow.

  "That night, the junior had no choice but to obey." Yang Tong then calmly accepted it.

  "Alright, where are you going?" Old Yi pointed at the transmission array on the altar and said.

  "Go to Gengxing City." Yang Tong replied honestly.

  "Someone come and activate the transmission array!" Old Yi shouted loudly.

  The four major families in Luoxing City all received the news. The Wang and Qin families were a bit better off, as they had no grudges against Yang Tong. The Zhao family was somewhat regretful, thinking that if they had known there was a Void-level expert backing Yang Tong, they should have lent a hand to send some regards. In comparison, the Lin family was different. Lin Jin was furious and almost killed a few people on the spot to vent his anger.

  "Come on, find out for me where they've gone!" Lin Jin roared in a fit of rage.

  The news came quickly.

  "Reporting back to the master, Yang Tong that kid kidnapped Miss and transmitted her to Gengxing City, then transmitted her to Yaosheng City again, and after that went to Juncheng, but where she went afterwards nobody knows. Because of the special circumstances in Gengxing City, our people were unable to follow up..." The person in charge of intelligence reported back with a cold sweat.

  Lin Jin was furious again, and then he didn't know what to do. This world is really too big, the Huangyu Kingdom has 80 counties, Yang Tong can teleport several county cities, Lin's family wants to investigate but can't find anything, unless it's the royal family that has this ability to investigate further. It's clear that the cooked duck has flown away.

  At the same time, it was very coincidental that the originally scheduled one-day maintenance of the Luoxing City external transmission array was completed ahead of schedule and reopened half a day earlier.

  Lin Jin Kuang was not stupid and had already guessed that there must be a powerful figure behind the scenes manipulating this series of coincidences. Lin Jin Kuang's original ambition to surpass the Zhao family's ideals now seemed to have suffered many unacceptable losses, all centered around Yang Tong, who was originally unrelated to him. As a result, the morale of the Lin family had been thoroughly suppressed. Even Lin Jin Kuang's position as head of the household showed signs of instability. Adding to this were the external attacks from the Zhao family in various industries, as well as the loss of personnel and prestige that the Lin family had suffered over the years. The Lin and Qin families had already shifted from offense to defense.

  The Six Sect Alliance is a non-state religious alliance. The countries on the mainland are actually established by certain sects or scattered cultivators after they became gods. Within these national borders, sects need to pay taxes to the government, such as the Mingyue Sect, which was established within the Huayu Kingdom. The Mingyue Sect has a single lineage and pays relatively little tax, with its strongest member only being at the Void level, making it a small sect on the mainland.

  The Six Faction Alliance, however, is a union of six top-notch sects that have banded together to avoid paying taxes to the various countries. They are located in the middle region between the three kingdoms and occupy an area roughly spanning six Quixing counties, maintaining order within this territory.

  These six major sects are the Sharp Gold Sect, Thick Earth Sect, Black Water Sect, Divine Fire Sect, Green Wood Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect. Each of these six major sects has at least one quasi-divine existence sitting in the back, and the inheritance has been uninterrupted for hundreds of millions of years.

  On Feng Xuan Continent, there are Void-level powerhouses sitting in town, which belongs to a small sect gate, such as Mingyue Sect.

  There is a Saint Realm expert sitting in town, belonging to a medium-sized sect.

  There are half-gods sitting in town, which is a large first-class sect, such as these six major schools.

  With a true god in charge, you can directly establish a country. After establishing the country, the strength is even more powerful, the financial resources are even more abundant, and the talents don't need to be mentioned anymore, and the resources are equally vast.

  A top-notch sect in the wilderness, relying on the sect's strength, can only occupy a county's sphere of influence. It's not that these sects don't want to expand their range, but they have the heart but lack the power. But once a country is opened, after developing for a period of time, it can at least occupy more than ten counties. Like the Huangyu Kingdom, which developed for tens of millions of years, its national territory expanded to eighty counties.

  As for why there is such a gap, it's because the management forms of religious sects and countries are completely different. The development of a religious sect relies on enhancing the strength of its top pillars and middle-ranking members. In contrast, the development of a country depends on comprehensive improvements in people's livelihoods, internal affairs, military affairs, science and technology, etc.
