As far as the eye could see, within the mountain fog at night, there was a yellow lantern hanging from the left and right side of the entrance of the Desolate Sect. Two disciples who were on night duty were standing in front of the entrance, and the most eye-catching person was above the sect, a towering ancient tree that was forty to fifty meters tall.
Lin Zichen asked, "Is that the Desolate Sect?"
"Yes, Master Lin." Wen Shan, who had already lost his strength, did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly said respectfully.
"That tree is so tall." Lin Zi Chen stared at the ancient tree and said thoughtfully.
"Master Lin, this tree has been around for a long time. Before the development of Meng Mountain, our sect was located on the side of the mountain, so it was quite convenient for us to travel around. After the government developed Meng Mountain, we moved here, which was the sect we built around this ancient tree."
Lin Zi Chen slowly nodded his head, "It's been hundreds of years since I last saw it."
"It should be like this, by the way, Master Lin, I …" I don't know if you can agree to this request? " Wenshan Road.
"No matter what, I am still the sect head of this Desolate Sect who is over half a hundred years old. Can you not tell me about my cultivation being crippled?" Wen Shan lowered his head and said in embarrassment.
Lin Zi Chen thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Hur Hur, no problem."
When they entered the sect, Wen Shan called for the sect elders to meet overnight. Lin Zichen naturally had no problem with the inner workings of the sect, so he and Huo Qing waited in the sect yard.
As for Wen Shan, Lin Zichen was not worried at all. Now that his cultivation had been destroyed by Lin Zichen, he could no longer play any tricks.
However, there was one thing that surprised Lin Zi Chen. The elders of the Desolate Sect were all quite powerful. Two of the three elders were at the Na Yuan level, and the other one was at the Na Yuan level, which was much stronger than Huo Qing.
Normally, Huo Qing would not be much stronger than him among the warriors. However, the Desolate Sect was such a small place … There were actually so many experts.
Could the cultivation method of the Desolate Sect be stronger than others?
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen shook his head. The Tornado Technique he gave Huo Qing came from the inheritance of the Celestial Master Daoxuan. He couldn't help but shift his gaze to the towering ancient tree.
From the outside of the sect, he had been attracted by an aura. Now, he was almost certain that this aura originated from this ancient tree!
"Master, this tree is really tall." Huo Qing said.
Lin Zi Chen nodded his head. "Indeed, it is almost impossible to see such a tall tree in the city. Therefore, I believe that this tree should be at least a thousand years old."
"But... Even with a thousand years of history, it shouldn't be this high, "Huo Qing said." I once visited an open-air museum and saw a few trees that were thousands of years old.
"That's right, so there must be some mysterious power that allowed this tree to continue growing for a thousand years without stopping." After saying this, Lin Zi Chen walked closer to the ancient tree and carefully sized it up.
Other than its height and thickness, there was nothing special about the exterior of the ancient tree. Every inch of its bark reflected the vicissitudes of life, giving it the appearance of a wrinkled old man who was deep and serene.
Suddenly, a trace of intelligence appeared in Lin Zi Chen's senses. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, revealing an intriguing smile.
"Master, what are you laughing about? The magical power you spoke of … Could it be that this tree has become a spirit? " Huo Qing asked.
Lin Zi Chen smiled and said, "Huo Qing, you're right. This tree has indeed Awakened!"
"Awakening?" Huo Qing was an atheist and normally wouldn't believe such things. However, he had no choice but to believe Lin Zichen's words.
Lin Zi Chen patted the surface of the ancient tree and said, "Huo Qing, do you remember that water python from the Green Jade Mountain?"
"I remember, but didn't Master kill that water python?"
"That's right. After killing the water python, not only did I take away its skin, but I also took away its beast spirit. Since beasts have beast souls, trees will naturally produce tree spirits!"
"Tree spirit?" Master, is this Tree Spirit the soul of the tree? " Huo Qing said.
"Yes. If I didn't sense the existence of the Tree Spirit, I'm afraid I wouldn't have understood why this ancient tree is so tall. This tree must have relied on the Tree Spirit's continuous growth for a thousand years to reach such heights."
With that, Lin Zi Chen jumped up, reaching a height of 50 to 60 feet before floating in the air.
Huo Qing's mouth was wide open as he looked at Lin Zichen with admiration and envy. Master, if I were to have this power in my life, it would be worth it even if I were to die …
He saw Lin Zi Chen wave his hand a few times, and a white fog coiled around it. He suddenly extended his hand forward, and when it came into contact with the bark, it directly entered the ancient tree.
"Hehe, this is the Dryad!" Lin Zi Chen smiled, and when he pulled his hand out of the tree trunk, a sparkling green light appeared in his palm.
As if it were alive, the light flickered in his hand, sometimes expanding and sometimes shrinking. The light was weak, yet it did not lose its spirituality.
Lin Zi Chen's feet touched the ground, and Huo Qing ran over to him. When he saw the light object in Lin Zi Chen's hand, he revealed an excited expression.
"Master, is this a Tree Spirit? It's too magical, it's really quite cute. "
"A few hundred meters outside of the Desolate Sect, I could feel the aura of a wood-type Symbol. To think that it would be inside this ancient tree. Haha, I did not come to the Desolate Sect today for nothing …"
Lin Zicheng finished speaking and placed the Tree Spirit into the Wanxiang Space. At this time, there were already three kinds of runes and two runes inside the pentagram array. They were already halfway to forming the array!
Lin Zicheng knowingly smiled. If they formed a formation, then his own cultivation speed would be increased by several times, which would be of great help to a martial artist at the late stage of their cultivation.
When a martial artist reached the late stage, the average place would not have the slightest bit of assistance in their cultivation. When a martial artist reached the late stage, the average place would not have the slightest bit of assistance in their cultivation.
The Desolate Sect meeting continued until the latter half of the night. When they walked out of the meeting hall, Wen Shan and a few other elders had extremely dejected expressions. It could be seen that Wen Shan had already given some instructions and was about to leave the Desolate Sect.
At daybreak, Lin Zi Chen, Huo Qing and Wen Shan walked down the Meng Mountains until they reached the place where the guide was parked. Huo Qing drove them all the way to the Milky Way City.
After entering the city, Lin Zichen first gave Sun Xuelin a call. The other party answered the call as if they had been waiting for his call.
"Boss Sun picked up the phone very quickly." Lin Zi Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, Master Lin. I've been waiting for your call." Sun Xuelin's voice sounded urgent.
"Oh? Do you have a clue so soon? " Lin Zi Chen said.
"That's right, Master Lin, I also didn't expect this matter to come to light so quickly," Sun Xuelin paused for a moment, and then the sound of rubbing paper came from the phone, "Master Lin, according to the investigation, your uncle Lin Jianzhong's account was transferred more than ten times, and the amount is not small at all."
"An account with Lin Jianzhong? How much is it? "
"Within two years, there will be four entries. The smallest will be one hundred and fifty thousand, and the most will be twelve million. However, in that era, one hundred and fifty thousand is already very impressive. Twelve million is a sky-high price."
Lin Zi Chen was silent for a moment, then said: "It is indeed very abnormal, can you find the person who transferred the money?"
"The people who transferred the money were all different, but they were all in the same place, Lan-Shan!"
"The enterprises of Lan-Shan... Chang Yong? " Lin Zi Chen immediately thought of Chang Yong, after all, he was the boss of the Lan Shan underground world.
"No, it's the Yuan Family, also currently the main business of Lan Shan. The Yuan Family's rise to power came from a building construction patent, and that patent is very similar to the Lin Group's style, so I can deduce that this matter is related to the Yuan Family and Lin Jianzhong." Sun Xuelin said.
Lin Zi Chen slowly nodded his head: "Boss Sun, do you have a basis?"
"Of course. Otherwise, how could I report this to Master Lin? I got the bank to send out the remittance records and the remittance slip, as well as the patent contents of the Yuan family. I think Master Lin needs them."
Hearing this, Lin Zichen smiled inwardly. It seemed that the group was truly divided into groups. He didn't expect Sun Xuelin to be so thorough and not lose out to Lu Chenghao at all.
"Boss Sun, where are you?"
"I'm at the company now. Master Lin, I'll send it over to you."
"No need. Send me the address, I'll go get it now!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zichen was truly happy from the bottom of his heart. Lin Jianzhong, Lin Jiaquan, today it was time to finish everything!
After that, Huo Qing drove over to the address given by Sun Xuelin, and after obtaining all the information, Lin Zichen instructed Huo Qing to go straight to the Lin Clan.
In the Lin Family's courtyard, Lan Luoshi was sitting at a stone table with her chin on her hands. She was obviously unhappy.
"That damned Lin Zichen, he actually disappeared for a whole day while carrying me. He didn't even say hello and even switched off his phone. See if you'll be beaten to death when I get back!" As she said this, Lan Luoshi pounded her fist on the stone table.
"Hehe, who dares to anger our Miss Lan?"
The Lin Family laughed heartily and then sat down beside Lan Luoshi.
"Nothing, big brother is not busy today? "You're actually at home, I thought you would be working for the Lin Group at this time." Lan Luoshi looked at him and said.
"Originally, I wanted to go to work, but seeing that Luo Shi is in a bad mood, I sat down to see if I could help." Lin Jia Hao smiled politely.
The Lin Family was in a good mood today. Since Lin Zi Chen did not return that night, he must have been killed by the people from the Desolate Sect. Therefore, he had celebrated with Lin Jianzhong earlier.
"Thank you, but I'm not in a bad mood. Thank you for your trouble, Big Brother. Hurry up and go to work." Lan Luoshi was already annoyed to begin with, but now that Lin Jia Hao was beside her, she became even more annoyed.
Lin Jia Hao did not seem to care about all this. In his eyes, Lin Zi Chen was dead, and now that Lan Luoshi was with him, wouldn't he be able to pursue her however he wanted? He did not believe that there would be a girl who would not be moved by his talent and knowledge.
"Luo Shi, is there a need for us to be so polite?" As he said that, Lin Jianzhong placed his hand on Lan Luoshi's.
Lan Luoshi was stunned. She quickly pulled back her hand, but who would have thought that Lin Jianzhong would firmly grab it?
"Luo Shi, do you really plan on refusing me from a thousand miles away?" Lin Jia Hao's gaze was full of affection as he spoke.
Suddenly, he felt his wrist being clamped by an iron pincer, and he forcibly removed Lan Luoshi's small hand.
"Lin Jia Hao, I need to let you know that in this world, not everyone can touch you!"
