Lin Xuan was surprised to see the situation in Taoyin Village..

In such a village, there are not even any decent practitioners. It is no wonder that it is targeted by the low-level mountain bandits of the Suhai Gang..

Lin Xuan followed Tao Zhiming to Tao Zhiming's home and sat down. Tao Zhiming continued to talk to Lin Xuan about the things about the sea..

It turned out that the Seafloor Gang wasn't originally Pinglu City, or even Yongning Prefecture..

For Taoyin Village, the Seafloor Gang was a real outsider. Originally, the Seafloor Gang was just a pirate group drifting on the sea and making a living by robbing merchant ships..

Of course, gangs like the Seafloor Gang also had another name in Yongning State, the Boat Gang..

A few years ago, the ships of the Sea-tracing Gang arrived at the port near Taoyin Village. Due to the bad weather, the ships stopped..

At first, the Sea-tracing Gang only came to Taoyin Village to seek help. However, when the Sea-tracing Gang realized that there were not many powerful cultivators in Taoyin Village and that Taoyin Village had more land, they gradually had the idea of occupying the entire Taoyin Village and further strengthening their Sea-tracing Gang..

After a series of actions by the Seagoing Gang, the Seagoing Gang has gradually formed the habit of plundering Taoyin Village regularly..

"At first, Wang Shuo and the others of the Sea-tracing Gang only asked us to pay a tribute once a year, and they only needed to hand over some grain and a small amount of silver. They were responsible for protecting our Taoyin Village..

”

"However, ever since the merchant ships of the various regions have hired the practitioners from the escort agencies to escort their merchant ships, the original business of robbing merchant ships of the Sea-going Gang has also become difficult. The looting of our Taoyin Village has become more and more frequent..

”

"Later, it changed from once a year to once every six months, and the items requested changed from the most basic food and silver to spirit stones..

”

Tao Zhiming said," We don't have any powerful cultivators in Taoyin Village. Wang Shuo threatened that if we didn't have enough spirit stones, they would slaughter the village. We could only endure it and do everything we could to gather spirit stones for the Sea-tracing Gang..

”

" One hundred spirit stones in half a year is already the limit for our Hidden Peach Village. I don't know what's wrong with the leader of the Sea-tracing Gang, Wang Shuo, recently. He actually wants us to hand over one hundred spirit stones in one month. Even if we use all of our resources, we still can't satisfy the appetite of the Sea-tracing Gang..

”

" Yes, and then it's the scene I saw when I arrived at Taoyin Village?" Lin Xuan asked..

"Exactly.

”

Tao Zhiming nodded and said,"Thank you, little brother Lin Xuan, for helping us out of Taoyin Village. However, little brother Lin Xuan, after you leave Taoyin Village in the future, our Taoyin Village will probably have to relocate.".

”

"Where can you escape to?"

Lin Xuan said indifferently," If you accidentally leak the news, or if the Sea-tracing Gang detects the movement of Taoyin Village, they will definitely come to find trouble and even block your way. At that time, you will also die.".

”

"If we die accidentally on the road, then this is the fate of Taoyin Village..

”

Speaking of this, Tao Zhiming's face was a little calmer than before..

It seemed that Tao Zhiming had already seen through all this and predicted the worst outcome of Taoyin Village..

"To be honest, I came to Taoyin Village this time to find a senior expert who came from Pinglu City and lived in seclusion in Taoyin Village. I wonder where that senior expert is now?"

"Why didn't he stand up to protect Taoyin Village when your Taoyin Village was oppressed by the Sea-tracing Gang?"

Lin Xuan asked a series of questions in his heart.

：.

: When Wang Shuo brought the members of the Sea Tracing Gang to Taoyin Village, many villagers of Taoyin Village were chased out by the members of the Sea Tracing Gang..

However, in this process, Lin Xuan did not see any villagers who could take the initiative to stand up against the Sea-Seeking Gang..

"Senior?"

Tao Zhiming looked up at Lin Xuan, his eyes full of doubt..

"Brother Lin Xuan, who is the senior you're referring to?"

"Mo Hanyang.

Lin Xuan said..

"Him?"

Tao Zhiming sighed again..

"Brother Lin Xuan, you came at a really bad time. Mo Hanyang passed away a few months ago. His grave is buried in the back mountain..

”

Mo Hanyang, Tao Zhiming, and the other villagers of Taoyin Village had quite a few impressions of Lin Xuan's mention..

"When Mo Hanyang came to Taoyin Village, he did mention to us that he was from Pinglu City. When we asked him for details, he didn't answer..

”

"Although we feel that Mo Hanyang's background is rather mysterious, we are more enthusiastic than Mo Hanyang. Moreover, he is a craftsman in Taoyin Village. Many of the tools currently used in Taoyin Village were invented by Mo Hanyang..

”

"After a long time together, we accepted Mo Hanyang..

”

Tao Zhiming suddenly remembered something. He asked Lin Xuan," In the eyes of the villagers of Taoyin Village, Mo Hanyang is just a carpenter with excellent manufacturing skills. But Brother Lin Xuan, why did you say that he is a senior expert who lives in seclusion in Taoyin Village?"

" Didn't he mention to you that he was once a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Realm?"

"No, I don't..

”

Tao Zhiming continued,"Speaking of which, we also feel very strange. Mo Hanyang died not long ago, and those guys from the Sea-Seeking Gang came to our Taoyin Village.".

”

"Perhaps this is really the fate of Taoyin Village. Ten years ago, there were many disputes in the world and people were killed..

The cultivators with some strength in Taoyin Village have already gone out, and the corresponding groups have been recruited and stepped onto the battlefield..

”

"In the end, they all died in battle, and no one returned, but the chaos in the world is still not over..

”

"Originally, if our Taoyin Village relied on the manufacturing skills brought by Mo Hanyang, we could have achieved some peace. It's a pity that such a Sea Tracing Gang has come..

”

"If our Taoyin Village's fate is exhausted, then there's nothing we can do..

”

Seeing Lin Xuanbu speak, Tao Zhiming continued,"That's why I said you came to Taoyin Village to look for Mo Hanyang. It's really not a good time.".

”

" However, before Mo Hanyang passed away, he seemed to have sensed that death was approaching. Therefore, he repaired his grave and personally set up a large number of mechanisms to put all the big packages he brought when he arrived at Taoyin Village into it..

”

"Later on, when those guys from the Sea-tracing Gang heard about Mo Hanyang, they tried several times to open Mo Hanyang's grave to investigate, but in the end, they failed..
