After a day and night of traveling, Lin Xuan finally arrived at Jiangling, which is located in the Chu region of Yong 'an Prefecture..

However, what surprised Lin Xuan was that he had just arrived at the outskirts of Jiangling City when he saw some corpses outside Jiangling City..

Looks like these bodies have been dead for some time..

What made Lin Xuan very puzzled was that no one seemed to clean up the corpses outside Jiangling City, and the people passing by these corpses seemed to be used to it..

They remained indifferent to the stench of decomposition.

Lin Xuan immediately walked to one of the corpses and carefully observed it..

Just as Lin Xuan approached, he smelled a very pungent smell of rotten eggs..

Even Lin Xuanyi couldn't stand the strong smell of corpses..

" What's wrong with these people in Jiangling City? Even though their corpses were exposed in the wilderness, they didn't send anyone to deal with them?"

Lin Xuan muttered to himself, and a small ball of white beast fire appeared in his palm..

Just as Lin Xuan was about to use the beast fire in his hand to burn the corpses exposed in the wilderness to ashes, the groom who had been observing Lin Xuan for a while walked over to Lin Xuan..

"Young man, what are you looking at?"

Lin Xuan looked up at the groom in front of him and realized that the groom did not have any ill intentions towards him. Lin Xuan said to the groom,"Hello, I came from Pinglu City next door. I was about to enter Jiangling when I saw these corpses.".

”

" These corpses have already started to stink. Furthermore, it's a scorching summer day. Why don't you Jiangling people dispose of these corpses? Instead, you just let the stench spread to the surroundings. Don't you think it smells bad?"

Hearing this, the groom shook his head and looked around warily. Then he said to Lin Xuan,"Young man, this question is not interesting to ask.".

”

"Why?"

"Shh!"

The groom looked deeply at Lin Xuan and continued,"You'd better not investigate this matter. If you don't do it well, it will be transmitted to the ears of the King of Chu, and that will be the death of your head.".

”

" Could this matter be related to King Chu?"

Lin Xuan immediately gasped..

If these corpses had something to do with King Chu, then it would be understandable for the citizens of Jiangling City to let these corpses be exposed in the wilderness..

"Is the Chu King you mentioned Zong Teng?"

After hearing Lin Xuan call Chu Zongteng by his name, the groom felt his scalp tingle..

"Young man, I can only tell you that you should leave Jiangling as soon as possible. Don't bother about these corpses anymore. This is not something that a cultivator from Pinglu City can care about..

”

After saying this, the groom returned to his carriage outside Jiangling City..

No matter how much Lin Xuan said or even offered silver and spirit stones as conditions, the groom did not say a word..

" This is really strange. Chu King is actually so bloodthirsty?"

Lin Xuan was even more puzzled..

On the way to Jiangling, Lin Xuan had already learned some things about the current King of Chu, Zong Teng, from some guests in the inn..

In the mouth of those customers, Chu King was a king who loved his people like a son..

：.

For so many years, King Chu has been secretly developing Chu's strength and gathering the disciples of the major academies and Confucian sects in Jiangling under his command..

Not to mention other things, at least in this area of Jiangling, Chu Zongteng's reputation is quite good..

Unexpectedly, after arriving at Jiangling, Lin Xuan saw the corpses exposed in the wilderness..

Those people all looked like cultivators, and they also had a certain level of strength..

Some of the corpses were still in the position they had just died, but the citizens of Jiangling City were indifferent to this..

"It seems that this king of Chu is actually not as good as the rumors outside..

”

Lin Xuan muttered and walked into Jiangling City..

He originally wanted to deal with the corpses outside Jiangling City's city gate before leaving. However, after being reminded by the groom just now, Lin Xuan decided that he should not deal with these corpses so easily until he found out the truth..

Compared to Qi, where Lin Xuan was previously located, Chu had a qualitative leap in the strength of practitioners..

Logically speaking, Zong Teng possessed the strength of cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage and had long been able to push Qi or Yan, which was in the north of Qi..

However, for some reason, King Zongteng seemed to have some scruples about this and did not attack Qi and Yan..

After arriving at Jiangling City, Lin Xuan discovered that the situation in Jiangling City was similar to that in Pinglu City..

The only difference is that Jiangling is close to the sea, and Jiangling area all the way south is the overseas area..

The scenery in Jiangling City is also different from Pinglu where he was previously located..

Pinglu City had only one river running through the city, but Jiangling City had small bridges and houses with unique vaults everywhere..

Even the courtyards of some wealthy families in Jiangling district were elaborately decorated with rockery, small bridges and willow trees..

Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene in front of him..

It seems that Jiangling region is indeed a rich land.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the major academies under the Confucian faction can flourish in Jiangling..

With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan had already walked to the vicinity of an arch bridge in Jiangling City..

Just as Lin Xuan was about to step over the arch bridge in front of him and inquire about the various inns in Jiangling City to see if he could find out what had happened in Jiangling City, he saw a cultivator suddenly jump up. After doing a somersault in midair, he landed steadily on the arch bridge..

This time, that cultivator directly blocked Lin Xuan's path..

Just as Lin Xuan was about to step forward and ask the cultivator to move aside, the cultivator shouted at the top of his voice..

"My servant nicknamed him Blazing Blade He Qiao. Today, I came to Jiangling to challenge all the experts in Jiangling City. If you are dissatisfied, just come up and try me..

”

He Qiao stopped and looked around for a few seconds..

Seeing that many cultivators in Jiangling City were attracted by his shout, He Qiao nodded proudly..

And that's exactly what he wants..

When the surrounding cultivators and people who were watching the excitement had gathered, He Qiao continued to say,"Before you come up, you have to think carefully. If you are not careful, you may die.".
