But now, he was only together with Yun Dai'er, following three to five people from Dragon Spring Villa, walking step by step towards their main hall.
Longquan Manor was actually the villa of a wealthy merchant. Because it had been out for many years, he had left this villa to his own son. Every year, they would send people to bring back all the money they had earned from the different territories and countries back to the villa. After that, they would exchange them for the money they needed from the banks of Qingyang City.
So, Dragon Spring Villa had a huge underground treasury, but it had to go through nine checkpoints, and each checkpoint had a special big lock. The materials for the big lock went through the trials of fire and ice and were injected with spiritual energy.
This long list of keys had been given to the six stewards by the wealthy merchants to keep, one for themselves, one for Madam and one for Lin Rao. Every year, when the money was transferred, there was a powerful sect world and a devil race's twenty man guard team guarding the road ahead. And this wealthy merchant's cultivation was also at the Xuan King level, but he never revealed his strength, and instead invited a lot of money from martial spirit level sect and some warriors from the devil race. He packaged himself very weak, and every year, he transported a large amount of gold coins, which was secretly carried out at night.
Once, however, a couple was assassinated in the Southern Wasteland, and the whole group of them vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a piece of paper. The surviving guards had to spend a great deal of effort to deliver the two keys and the letter to Lin Rao's home.
As Lin Rao was in despair, he found all six stewards and brought them to the underground treasury. But the nine keys to the book still held countless secrets. Lin Rao went to open the vault, but found that the third to last door could not be opened. It turned out that there was a thousand years of unsolved mystery hidden within the letter, and this mystery was related to the key to the third last door. The reason why he did not explain it was because he was afraid that the key and the letter would fall into the hands of the wicked.
Lin Rao had been unraveled for a long time, but he was still unable to unravel this secret. Thus, he could only give up temporarily. From then on, he hated the Southern Wasteland to the bones. He swore to cross the eight peaks and sixteen mountains, flatten the Gu Yue Plains, and find the person who killed his parents and avenge himself.
And this first step was to pacify the dispute between the Great Yang and the sect, and to stand out in the conflict. After all, with just his strength alone, there was no way he could cross the sixteen mountains, let alone enter the Gu Yue Plains.
While he was in despair, he received the news that the Nether Sect had been annihilated and that the Sect Leader's daughter had not been killed. Thus, he heavily requested many experts to go to the Great Central Region to rescue the daughter of the Nether Sect, Lin Che'er. They supported her and support her to ascend to the throne, to rebuild the Nether Sect, and to use the fame and wealth of the Nether Sect in the Outer Wasteland to wage a great war for hegemony.
All of this had been weighing down on his heart for a long time. He was already thirty years old, but he was alone and covered in hardships. However, his cultivation was not bad. His profound strength had already reached the profound spirit, and ordinary people were not his match.
Of course, he knew what his goal was, so he kept a low profile. Although the entire Nether Sect had almost a thousand people, he took good care of all the Altar Masters, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
