Chapter 69 Zhonglin City
Life will make you miserable for a while at first.
Wait until you get used to it.
I'll make you suffer for the rest of your life!

Lao Li leaned his head, eyes widened, and stretched out his hand to lift the map.
Sure enough, there was a clear mark scratched with a fingernail on the map, enclosing a city.
"Who did it, was it you?"
Yang Shuo asked Lao Li.
Lao Li quickly replied: "I don't waste things like that. Wait, it's not the sect master who did it. What do you mean, does the sect master have any ideas about this city?"
Yang Shuo took a closer look at the city.
"Zhonglin City. Is this city our territory now?"
Lao Li thought about it carefully and said, "It seems not."
"That is the territory of the Righteous Alliance."
Yang Shuo frowned.
Lao Li looked at the location of Zhonglin City and said: "It doesn't seem to be the case. I remembered that because we were going to attack the Zhengyi Sect, all the magic soldiers and magic cultivators were transferred from this city. Then it was destroyed by the Zhengdao Allied Forces Some of them joined forces with local families to launch a sneak attack."
Yang Shuo suddenly remembered and nodded: "I also remembered this. Later, the sect leader asked not to fight, so we retreated. The demon soldiers and demon cultivators were transferred back to a few buildings next to Zhengyi Sect. A city. Zhonglin City seems to be left alone for the time being?"
Old Li said: "Yes, this city is too small. It is said that there is no city wall. It is just a larger market town. Later, the sect leader killed those big families who did not want their lives. The local families in Zhonglin City ran away immediately. It seems that even the people with the Righteous Alliance Forces have withdrawn. Because there is really no danger to defend."
Yang Shuo's eyes lit up and he said: "That means that Zhonglin City today is actually a place where no one cares about anything."
Lao Li slapped his thigh and said, "It seems so. The righteous coalition forces don't care, the local families don't care, and we don't care either. It's really a three-dimensional thing!"
"The sect master's intention in painting this scene is..."
Yang Shuo turned his head and looked at Lao Li, and both of them understood instantly.
After a moment, the two of them exclaimed: "Awesome!"
"The sect master is so damn awesome!"
They still don’t understand what this means, but the sect leader is reminding them that the real place where Tianjun is hiding is in Zhonglin City.
Although there is no evidence for the time being, since the sect leader has pointed it out, there is a high probability that it is true.
Putting away the map, Yang Shuo said: "Who is the nearest deacon nearby?"
Lao Li said: "The only one we can do is find Lao Gou. I'm afraid the others won't be able to handle it."
Yang Shuo said: "Okay, just find Lao Gou."
With that said, he was about to walk out. Just as he took a step forward, Yang Shuo was stopped by Lao Li and said, "Wait a minute, Lao Yang. Isn't that too hasty? Are you sure it was ordered by the sect master? Or you should ask."
Yang Shuo said: "Is this necessary? The sect leader will think you are stupid."
Just as he was talking, Chu Ran came in with a plate of hot water from outside the door.
Yang Shuo picked up the map and said to Chu Ran: "Miss Chu, are you the one who made the marks on the map?"
Chu Ran snorted softly and said, "It's your sect leader who did it, it's none of my business."
Lao Li glared and said, "Are you telling the truth? If you dare to lie to me, I will definitely throw you into the dungeon and let the demon slayer entertain you."
Chu Ran said loudly: "Why did I lie to you? It was your sect master who scratched it with his own nails. If you want to find trouble, go to your sect master."
Chu Ran angrily walked towards the bedroom with a basin in hand.
Looking at Chu Ran's back, Yang Shuo smiled and said, "I'm sure now."
Lao Li nodded heavily and said: "My awareness is low. You are still reliable, Lao Yang. There is no need to doubt this kind of thing in the future. Let's go and contact Lao Gou quickly. If you are too late, you will be in trouble!"
"Don't worry, those idiots from the Righteous Alliance Army can't beat us."
…
Zhonglin City.
The city is surrounded by forests and is located in a valley. It is a place where local mountain people gather for business.
The city is not big, surrounded by mountains, with streams passing through it, and no city walls.
The local population is small, probably more than 100,000. The whole city is a huge market.
Mainly buying and selling mountain medicinal materials and animal skins. You can also see the corpse skins of some rare monsters. Therefore, there are many merchants and motorcades coming and going.
Everything in the city is kept simple, whether it is an inn, restaurant or paved house, it should not exceed two floors at most.
Most of them are laid on the ground, and the streets and houses are full of things. You can take whatever you want, just pay for it.
Now that the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Righteous Alliance Army, and the local families have all left this place, the rules of Zhonglin City have changed a lot.
When the Tianmo Sect was here, they almost killed all the local gangsters, dog officials and cruel officials, not to mention the local gangs.
When the local families withdrew, they took almost all the good players in the city with them. Therefore, it is difficult to find a warrior in Zhonglin City today.
There are no more oppressive superiors, and no more ruffians causing trouble.
Zhonglin City directly entered an atmosphere of collective governance, that is, the local stall owners organized themselves, set up rules, and recruited a few thugs. Take care of business during the day and clean at night.
People who live in the city can choose a respected person from each street to handle the chores and administer justice, and then they can live together.
So far, everything is fine.
Wanjia Restaurant is one of the only restaurants in Zhonglin City.
In the backyard, which was filled with medicinal materials, several men carefully looked around to make sure no one was following them, then opened the door to the backyard wing and entered.
There were candles lit inside in broad daylight, and the windows were covered with black cloth to protect them from the sun.
The candlelight flickered, and a person slowly sat up from the hospital bed.
The firelight shone on his face, it was Tianjun who had been on the run for many days, that is, Leng Miao, Elder Leng of Zhengyi Sect.
"Disciple, how is the situation?"
Elder Leng coughed twice and asked.
The man he called "disciple" was none other than Elder Leng's personal disciple, Yu Dong.
Yu Dong said softly: "Master, the place you chose is really good. No one will catch up. There are only some mountain people here, Mr. Yunshan's men, and the demon cultivators from the Tianmo Sect are not here. Moreover, there are rich medicinal materials, and those who know medicine are not here. There are a lot of people. Your injury will be cured soon. This is the medicine I just bought!"
Yu Dong opened the medicine bag and showed it to Elder Leng.
Elder Leng nodded and said: "Okay, you did a good job. The conditions are not good now, so there is no need to refine the pills. You can just pound them into powder, or boil them in a pot and give them to me."
"Yes, Master!"
Yu Dong waved his hand and signaled the two junior brothers beside him to quickly prepare the medicine.
And he himself helped Elder Leng up.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Yu Dong asked.
Elder Leng said: "There is no next step. Let's find a place to hide first. Alas, this time it was because I didn't think well about it. As a result, you were expelled together. But it doesn't matter. When I take the next step, we will return to normal." Zong’s.”
