North State, Xiaotian Mountain.

When the North State Bandits saw the appearance of Void Achieving, not just one of them, they were completely desperate. Especially the White Bone King, he was driven out of White Bone Mountain and relied on his past reputation to mix among other bandits. He desperately incited this siege, but when he saw Void Achieving appear, he turned and ran in despair.

Soul Changing is fast on his feet, and Nascent Soul is not slow either. As soon as they see the situation is not good, they immediately retreat. Without their leader, the remaining bandits become chaotic, that’s why they are called a disorganized group.

On the other hand, the morale of Xiaotian Mountain soared high. They rush forward with loud cries. With Void Achieving sitting there, why should they fear anything?

Lin Jiang doesn’t want to miss out on this favorable battle. He charges even faster than them and relies on his seven-layered robe for protection, so he is basically immune to attacks below Nascent Soul.

Lin Jiang’s true flying sword has been nurtured for decades and is extremely sharp. With one slash, more than a dozen flying swords instantly turn into fragments, unstoppable.

"Little Shadiao, don’t charge forward foolishly, try to snatch more loot!"

Lin Jiang saw that Little Shadiao was about to lose, so he quickly transmitted a message to him. Silly guy, why haven’t you collected any loot in this easy battle?

Upon hearing this, Little Shadiao paused for a moment, then followed Lin Jiang’s advice. He turned around and started randomly attacking a group of weak opponents with only Building foundation and Qi Refining levels. In an instant, their storage bags were full of treasures.

At the same time, high up in the sky, the battle between Void Achieving experts had stopped because Lin Batian’s true identity was revealed. Lin Batian had undergone a disguise, but unfortunately, he ran into someone familiar this time.

"I didn’t expect to meet Taoist Friend Zhou here."

"I also didn’t expect to encounter you. Why did you come to North State instead of fighting in Qing State?"

Zhou Huaiying said. This fight cannot go on. I don’t think we can defeat Lin Batian. I know how formidable he can be, especially during his time in the Divine Kingdom. Even top Tao Achieving experts can’t defeat him.

"I don’t have money, so I want to earn a little fortune."

"You’ve also become poor?"

"Is Taoist Friend Zhou also poor?"

"I…"

Zhou Huaiying looked bitter. He had been wandering in the Divine Kingdom for over a thousand years. His sect had long been deserted, his family had passed away, and his property had been seized. Even though he had established some new businesses and had a certain income after his return, it was still far less compared to his expenses.

However, in comparison to his expenses, his income was insufficient. Otherwise, how could a prestigious Void Achieving cultivator like him end up becoming a mercenary here? It was embarrassing to even mention it.

"Taoist Friend Zhou, it’s not embarrassing to be a little poor. Don’t worry, with me, Brother Lin, by your side, you won’t be poor. You know who I am. Let’s make money together."

Lin Batian immediately changed his attitude and confidently said to Zhou Huaiying. If they were acquaintances, perhaps they could cooperate.

"Brother Lin."

Wei Dao and Tian Li chased for a while but quickly returned when they saw that Lin Batian had stopped. They were somewhat surprised.

"Ahem, let me introduce you, Taoist Friend Wei, Taoist Friend Tian, this is Zhou Huaiying, a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect in the Central Province."

"Met Taoist Friend Zhou"

"Hello, two Taoist friends"

"Brother Lin, what do we do now, should we still fight?"

Zhou Huaiying looked at the two people in front of him and silently thought, luckily they are acquaintances, otherwise he would have been in trouble with a three-to-one situation today.

"What are you saying, Taoist Friend Zhou is my sworn brother, we’ve gone through life and death together. Isn’t that right? How could we lay hands on each other?"

"Yes, since we are all acquaintances, there’s no need to fight. Let’s sit down and talk."

Zhou Huaiying immediately changed his tune, completely betraying the North State Bandits. Their life or death had nothing to do with him.

"Taoist Friend Zhou, could you explain the situation in North State to us?"

"The situation in North State is much more complicated than you imagine."

"Is it as deep as the third or fourth floor?"

Lin Batian cannot deny it, he knows the water depth in North State, but he believes he can overcome it.

"Brother Lin is so skilled and brave, I feel inferior compared to him. But I still advise Brother Lin to take what’s good and leave, to make some gains and go away."

"The grudge between me and Qing State is no secret. Unless Qing State is defeated, I won’t give up. Now that I am not as powerful as Qing State, I must choose a place to grow. I have set my sights on North State and won’t easily let go. Taoist Friend Zhou, I don’t want to be your enemy, nor the behind-the-scenes Tianxuan Sect. So it’s best to speak openly about any issues, to avoid damaging our relationship later."

"Does Brother Lin really insist on developing in North State?"

"Yes."

"Brother Lin really isn’t afraid of my Tianxuan Sect."

"Tao Achieving doesn’t mean I haven’t killed before. I said I don’t want to be enemies with you."

Lin Batian emphasized once again that he didn’t want to be enemies, but it doesn’t mean he couldn’t be enemies. If Qing State is strong enough, they will fight. What’s the big deal with Tianxuan Sect?

"Brother Lin, since we know each other, let’s not argue. If there’s something, let’s discuss it calmly."

Wei Dao spoke up to mediate. He knew the strength of Tianxuan Sect and didn’t want another strong enemy. He wasn’t as assertive as Lin Batian.

The situation in North State is complicated, and it’s not just something I’m saying. It’s a fact and it’s related to Green Emperor’s arrangements. Green Emperor banished the Human Demon Clan to North State. Among these Human Demons, there are extremely powerful ones. They possess the strength of both humans and demons, with robust bodies, long lifespans, and the ability to learn like humans. They even retain the vicious and murderous nature of demons. In Green Emperor’s time, there were numerous geniuses in the cultivation world who could control them.

But now, if we let the Human Demon Clan grow stronger, the humans may not be able to control them. That’s why humans have always suppressed the Human Demon Clan. As you know the situation in North State, the elite of the Human Demon Clan have all been driven to the northernmost region and their resources have been restricted. If Brother Lin takes over North State, he must abide by this principle, otherwise, Brother Lin would be opposing the entire cultivation world.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Huaiying said. This is also one of the inside stories. It’s not a secret in Tianxuan Sect, but many people still don’t understand why they are so cruel to North State.

"That’s natural. We are here to make money, not to be saviors. Zhou, we agree on this point. Our presence in North State will not change the situation here. We are only dealing with those bandits. We will do it the same way they did it before. We won’t change anything for the benefit of Tianxuan Sect."

Lin Batian immediately said. That’s reasonable. He hasn’t reached a point where he can ignore everything. It’s normal to protect the interests of Tianxuan Sect.

Zhou Huaiying breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He was truly afraid that Lin Batian was a reckless person. If that were the case, Tianxuan Sect would have to go to war with him.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. I’ll just advise Brother Lin that North State is treacherous, with many hidden experts, especially those from the evil path. They have unique methods that are hard to defend against."

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Zhou. I wonder how strong the Human Demon Clan in North State is."

"They are very extreme. The strong ones are especially strong, and the weak ones are extremely weak. In the far north of North State, there are some Human Demon Tribes. They are born with Building Foundation Period strength, which is very scary. If it weren’t for the continuous attacks by the human race over the years, they would have already unified North State."

"There is such a powerful race?"

"The Human Demon race is very complex. It’s hard to explain in just a few words. In any case, Brother Lin, be careful."

"Alright, let’s do it like this for today. We will clean up the battlefield first, and then discuss and plan before going to Tianxuan Sect to discuss with your sect, what do you think?"

"Okay, I hope Brother Lin remembers what was just said."

"Of course."

Zhou Huaiying didn’t say much. As long as Tianxuan Sect’s strength isn’t harmed, it’s fine.

Zhou Huaiying quickly left, and Lin Batian asked about the outcome of the battle.

"Soul Changing, I killed two, Tian brother killed one, and also took out several Nascent Soul, they were just a group of weaklings."

"It will take some time to clean them up."

"Wei brother and Tian brother can send a group of elite soldiers, but they must be reliable and not expose our identities. Otherwise, if the Qing State attacks, this place will be ruined. In the vast cultivation world, we don’t have many places to go."

"That’s natural, we know."

Wei Dao nodded. Over the years, they have traveled far and wide, and there are not many places left to go. If this place is ruined, they truly have nowhere else to go.

The three of them arrived at the battlefield and saw that the soldiers from Xiaotian Mountain were already cleaning up the battlefield. A large number of prisoners were being escorted, but Lin Die and the others didn’t know where they had gone to chase the enemy.

Lin Batian urged people to quickly clean up the battlefield and told Wei Dao and the others to hunt down the remaining Soul Changing Nascent Soul. These experts must be eliminated, otherwise their presence in the North State would be insecure.
