Chapter 289: Loopholes in the rules, Xihualin.

Yingke Building, second floor.

Compared to the crowded first floor, the second floor was empty, with only Murong Yue and others there.

Murong Yue directly booked the entire second floor.

After several people took their seats, Murong Yue said with a smile:

"Masters, this is our first time in the Northern Territory. We will need your care in the future."

Murong Yue was very polite.

A martial artist who has reached the state of transformation, if it were in the past, this kind of person would be nothing more than an ant in front of her.

As a family of immortal cultivators, the Murong family has hundreds of warriors at the Transformation Realm.

But at this moment, she had to be polite.

The North is really different from other places, and you must abide by the rules here.

In other places, it might be possible to fight for territory, but not here.

If the Murong family wants to gain a foothold, they must make friends with the affiliated forces of the Xingfeng Sect, and then rely on their relationships to choose a good territory.

Wang Tian smiled slightly:
"Miss Murong, you are too polite. Everyone knows the great name of the Murong family in the west. Our medicine pavilion is totally inferior to the Murong family."

Both of them exchanged pleasantries.

At this time, Qin Yao next to him suddenly said:

"Ms. Murong, let's get straight to the point. We also know why Miss Murong came to us this time. I wonder which piece of land Miss Murong has set her eyes on?"

Although Qin Yao is over thirty years old and not as good-looking as Murong Yue, she is not at all humble in front of Murong Yue.

Today, she is no longer the leader of that small sect.

Murong Yue answered without any hesitation: "Xihualin!"

Wang Tian glanced at Murong Yue and said, "Miss Murong has picked a good place."

Xihualin is located in the west of the northern border, about 50 kilometers away from Hengduan Mountains.

It is neither close nor far from the Hengduan Mountains.

The reason why this place is good is that it is close to the spiritual vein of the north.

There is currently only one spiritual vein in the North, which is a crack located in the west of the North.

That spiritual vein was discovered by Chen Feng back then. As time went by, the spiritual energy released by this spiritual vein increased.

What a cultivator needs is nothing more than spiritual energy.

The closer to the spiritual vein, the richer the spiritual energy.

There are many areas near this spiritual vein, and Xihualin is one of them.

Murong Yue then waved his right hand, and a bunch of rare treasures appeared on the table. However, most of them were rare treasures used by warriors.

"These are the gifts for you two. As long as Sect Leader Wang and Sect Leader Qin can help me take over a piece of land in Xihualin from the Murong family, our Murong family will give you a more satisfactory reward."

"In addition, if you have disciples with spiritual powers, our Murong family can also teach them the cultivation techniques."

Murong Yue directly brought out the benefits.

Before she came, she already knew that if she wanted to get help from these northern forces, she would have to give them benefits. Without benefits, why would they help her?

You must know that according to the official rules of Xingfengmen, any force that migrates to the northern border must report its choice of territory to Xingfengmen and then obtain approval from Xingfengmen before they can move in.

The choice of site must also comply with two rules.

The first is that you cannot infringe upon the interests of the original forces in the North, and the second is that you cannot occupy the homes of local mortals in the North.

In addition, there are very few good sites now, so it is very difficult to get a good site.

But if local forces in the North could help, it would be much more convenient.

Hearing Murong Yue's words, Wang Tian and Qin Yao both smiled.

Compared to the rare treasures given by Murong Yue, they care more about the cultivation method of immortality.

Both Wang Tian and Qin Yao are already at the Transformation Realm martial artist, and it will be difficult for them to make any further progress in their lifetime.

What they are doing now is to consider their respective descendants, and at the same time obtain some longevity items from the immortal cultivators.

Wang Tian then took out a map from his pocket and placed it on the table. He pointed to a certain place on the map and said:

"Ms. Murong, what do you think of this position?"

Wang Tian was pointing at a small river in Xihualin, which was considered a relatively good location in Xihualin.

After looking at the location on the map, Murong Yue frowned:
"Master Wang, there are three mortal villages in this location. If we move in here."

Although Murong Yue seemed dissatisfied with the rules of Xingfeng Sect, she dared not disobey them.

In the northern border, their Murong family is nothing at all, and there are more than just her family of immortal cultivators coming here.

Any external force that does not abide by the rules will basically have no good ending.

"Ms. Murong, you only need to tell me whether you are satisfied or not. You don't need to worry about other things." Wang Tian seemed very confident.

Murong Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Can we go take a look first?"

Wang Tian nodded: "Of course."

The four of them left the second floor without eating, and even before the dishes were served.

After arriving on the first floor, Murong Yue looked towards the place where Chen Feng had been before, but there was no trace of Chen Feng there.

Murong Yue looked at the waiter next to her and asked:

"Where are the people who were here just now?"

The waiter replied respectfully, "The guest has already paid the bill and left."

Qin Yao next to her asked, "What happened to Miss Mu Rong?"

Murong Yue shook her head: "It's okay, let's go."

Although she was very interested in Chen Feng's bracelet, it was more important to get down to business now, so she could only wait to find Chen Feng later.

Northern border, Xihualin.

Xihualin was originally just an ordinary small forest in the northern border, covering an area of ​​only a few dozen kilometers.

There are basically no martial arts forces here. There are only some mortal villages. These mortals rely on hunting and gathering herbs in Xihualin for a living.

But with the appearance of spiritual veins near Xihualin, Xihualin also became lively.

All the immortal cultivation forces, big and small, moved here.

Xihualin, somewhere by the river.

Wang Tian and his three companions arrived here, and there was a mortal village not far in front of them.

From a distance, there are probably more than four hundred buildings in this mortal village.

Although it was noon, there was no sound of fire in this mortal village.

"You two, are you satisfied here?" Wang Tian asked.

Murong Yue glanced around and said, "The spiritual energy here is quite dense, and it is surrounded by mountains and water. I am very satisfied."

Murong Yue was indeed very satisfied; the spiritual energy in this place was so strong.

In fact, after entering the Northern Territory, Murong Yue felt that the concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than that of the outside world.

The spiritual energy in the north can be absorbed and used for cultivation. The spiritual energy that can be used for cultivation is extremely important for cultivators.

Not only Murong Yue, but also Elder Ming next to him was very satisfied with this place.

Having pure spiritual energy to practice was something they had always dreamed of.

"I'm glad that you two are satisfied. Come with me." Wang Tian then took Murong Yue and walked towards the village.

When she arrived at the village gate, Murong Yue frowned because she smelled blood.

Not only she smelled it, but Uncle Ming next to her also smelled it.

But the smell of blood is very faint, it must have been processed.

At this time, several warriors from the Medicine Pavilion came out of the village. They all bowed to Wang Tian and Qin Yao. "Greetings, two masters!"

Yaoge, this is a new sect founded by Wang Tian and Qin Yao, which is a merger of the two parties.

Today, the number of disciples in the Medicine Pavilion has reached several thousand, making it one of the stronger affiliated forces of the Xingfeng Sect.

This was also due to the choice made by Wang Tian and Qin Yao. Because they helped Xingfeng Sect to refine elixirs, they became one of the earliest affiliated forces of Xingfeng Sect.

Because of this reason, the status of the two in the North rose rapidly.

Even some of the immortal cultivators' forces had to be polite to both of them.

The headquarters of the Medicine Pavilion is built at the foot of the Hengduan Mountains. This alone shows the importance of the Medicine Pavilion in the northern border.

Wang Tian glanced at the warriors and asked, "Is everything dealt with?"

The warrior quickly replied:
“It’s all been taken care of, and we are preparing to tear down the houses here and then start construction.”

Hearing the conversation between Wang Tian and the warrior, Elder Ming beside him couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill everyone in this village?"

Master Ming is a cultivator at the foundation-building level. His spiritual sense has already swept through the village, and he saw almost no one.

How could a village with more than 400 buildings be completely empty of people? And the village doesn’t look deserted.

Murong Yue, who was standing next to him, also changed her expression when she heard this.

Slaughtering mortals would not be surprising to her in the past, because immortal cultivators needed blood food and therefore they would definitely slaughter mortals.

But now, Yingzhou has been taken over by the Xingfeng Sect, and the Xingfeng Sect has expressly banned the massacre of mortals.

If the Xingfeng Sect knew about this, it would be a big trouble.

Murong Yue looked at Wang Tian and Qin Yao and said:
"You two, you should know the rules of the sect. If the sect knows about this."

Although Murong Yue wanted this territory very much, he didn't dare to offend Fengmen.

Wang Tian waved his hand and said:

"How could we possibly massacre the mortals here? We just moved them to another place. Don't worry, no one will know what happened here. Even if someone knows, we can handle it."

"There are seven immortal cultivation forces of varying sizes in Xihua Forest. Aren't they all doing well now?"

After hearing what Wang Tian said, Murong Yue's expression relaxed a little.

But Elder Ming still frowned, and he said to Murong Yue through voice transmission:
"Miss, this matter may have hidden dangers. If the Xingfeng Sect knows about this..."

Murong Yue also replied via voice transmission:
"This matter has nothing to do with us. We just asked the people of this medicine pavilion to help us choose a site. We didn't do anything to the mortals here. If anything goes wrong, this medicine pavilion will be held responsible."

Old Ming was still a little hesitant, as he was very wary of the Xingfeng Sect.

The Xingfeng Sect is almost invincible in Yingzhou.

Now that the Murong family has surrendered to the Xingfeng Sect, they naturally have to abide by the rules of the Xingfeng Sect.

At this moment, Elder Ming seemed to have discovered something. He immediately looked towards the bushes in the distance and said in a stern voice:

"come out!"

After hearing what Master Ming said, Wang Tian and the others instantly became alert and looked towards the bushes not far away.

But there was no movement in the grass.

Ming Lao snorted coldly: "You're not coming out, right?"

Go ahead and say it. Elder Ming immediately began to make seals with his hands, and a bolt of lightning appeared in front of him.

Feeling the thunder and lightning, Wang Tian and others subconsciously took a few steps back.

The magic of the immortals is not something that warriors like them can resist.

At this time, the grass in the distance moved, and a little girl ran out from the grass.

The little girl was about eight or nine years old, with two small braids on her head.

Her clothes were very shabby and she was wearing a pair of straw sandals on her feet.

The little girl was carrying a bamboo basket on her back, which contained a lot of herbs.

After the little girl came out, a look of fear appeared on her face. She then knelt in front of Master Ming and begged:
"Immortal, have mercy on me! Immortal, have mercy on me!"

Seeing that it was just a little girl, Master Ming put away his magic.

Because the other party is just a mortal, it is not worth him to consume his spiritual energy to kill him.

Seeing the little girl kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, everyone had different expressions, only Wang Tian's face was very gloomy. He looked at the warrior next to him and said coldly:
"Why are there still mortals here? Haven't the people in the surrounding villages been dealt with? How do you do things?!"

The expressions of several warriors changed, and one of them explained:
"Master, there are five villages around here. There are too many people. There must be some people hiding and not being discovered. Please forgive me, Master."

Wang Tian's face looked very ugly, and so did Qin Yao next to him.

What they did must not be known to others.

Although the status of the Medicine Pavilion in the North is very special now, if the affairs here are exposed to the cabinet of Xingfengmen, they will be in trouble.

"Search carefully, don't leave any one out!" Wang Tian said coldly.

Several warriors nodded immediately.

Wang Tian looked at Murong Yue and said:
"I'm so sorry, Miss Murong. This is my negligence. But don't worry, Miss Murong. The entire Xihua Forest is our territory. This kind of thing will not happen again."

Murong Yue smiled:

"Master Wang, you are too polite. This is just a small matter. I wonder when we can renovate this place?"

As an immortal cultivator, Murong Yue naturally doesn't care about the life and death of mortals.

Are you kidding? They originally practiced by slaughtering mortals. They have no sympathy for mortals.

Many immortal cultivators in Yingzhou believe deep down that mortals and warriors are just blood eaters.

She had also guessed what Wang Tian and Qin Yao had done, but she would not say it out loud.

Wang Tian replied, "Any time is fine. How about I take you two for a walk?"

Murong Yue nodded, and then the four of them went to the other side.

After Murong Yue and others left, several warriors immediately surrounded the little girl who was kneeling on the ground.

One of the warriors took up the long sword in his hand and put it on the little girl's neck and said sternly:
"Tell me, where are the rest of the people in the village hiding?"

The warrior knew very well that this little girl couldn't be the only one alive in the village, there must be others.

What they have to do now is to find these people quickly and kill them, otherwise they will face Wang Tian’s punishment.

With the knife on her neck, the little girl turned pale instantly, tears streaming down her face. She kowtowed to the warriors again:
"I...I don't know, please let me go, sir."

She didn't reveal the location of the others, but just kept begging for mercy.

Seeing that the little girl didn't say anything, the warrior's expression immediately turned cold:
"Since you don't say it, don't blame me."

After saying that, he prepared to torture the little girl and force her to confess.

But the warrior's hand suddenly stopped just as it reached the little girl.

It was as if an invisible force had frozen him in place.

Not only him, but the other warriors surrounding the little girl all felt that their bodies seemed to be restrained by something and they could not move at all.

The little girl who was kneeling there was shaking with fear, but the pain she had imagined did not come.

Instead, a force lifted her up from the ground: "Stop crying."

The little girl looked up and saw a man in a green gown standing in front of her. He had a handsome face and looked like an ordinary scholar.

This man was none other than Chen Feng.

The little girl quickly turned around and looked at the warriors who were about to take action.

At this moment, these warriors were looking at Chen Feng with horror. Their bodies seemed to be suspended and they could not move at all.

The little girl was very smart and immediately understood what was going on. She quickly and excitedly said, "Thank you, immortal!"

Chen Feng rubbed the little girl's head with his hand, and a trace of spiritual energy entered the little girl's body, calming the little girl's body that was trembling with fear.

"Are you from this village?" Chen Feng's voice was soft, but his eyes were very calm.
