Chapter 2520: Linhai City is a Big Piece of Fat Meat
Seeing his granddaughter bring out her trump card, Gu Nianhai immediately retreated.
He looked at his precious granddaughter with a half-smile, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. So, what are you planning to do about Lin Moyu? By the looks of it, you suffered a big loss."
Gu Nianshui snorted lightly, "Of course, I can't suffer a loss, but that's my own business, Grandpa, you don't need to worry about it."
"Also, don't use the power of the Holy Land to deal with him. I made a soul vow."
Gu Nianhai laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, Grandpa won't deal with him. I'll let Nianshui handle it personally."
...
After leaving Linhai City, Lin Moyu unfolded his Wings of the Undead, sparing no effort to enhance his speed to the extreme with soul power.
Although he made Gu Nianshui swear a soul vow, who knows if the Holy Land has ways to circumvent soul vows.
Lin Moyu never underestimated the Holy Land. What he could do, the Holy Land could likely do as well.
If Gu Nianhai chased after him later, facing a Dao Venerate, he might be in danger.
Lin Moyu moved at the fastest speed, changing directions several times and hiding his tracks. Only after confirming that no one was following him did he finally relax.
The influence of Linhai City extends over ten thousand miles, with several small sects nearby.
Some of these sects belong to two-star forces.
Most sects, however, don't even qualify as one-star forces because they lack origin spirit veins.
On the Origin Continent, without an origin spirit vein, a force cannot be rated with stars.
These so-called sects are actually just a few villages united together, with weak cultivators, possibly only having one or two Supremes.
Their existence is more like a school, providing enlightenment education for the younger generation of their villages.
If one day a genius emerges from the village, it might bring prosperity to the entire village.
Ten thousand miles northwest of Linhai City lies another city called Guanhai City.
Guanhai City and Linhai City, separated by ten thousand miles, have had multiple conflicts in the past.
Between the two cities lies a small mountain range called the Ruohai Mountains.
A small origin spirit vein was once discovered in the mountains, leading to conflicts between the forces of the two cities over this vein.
At that time, Linhai City was controlled by the Feng family, which was much stronger than the Blue family, with four high-level Heavenly Venerates and one peak Heavenly Venerate.
Ultimately, the Feng family won, taking control of the origin spirit vein, and enmity was formed between Guanhai City and Linhai City.
The Feng family hoped to use this origin spirit vein to advance to a four-star force, but a hundred years ago, the Feng family mysteriously perished.
With the Feng family gone, Linhai City was leaderless, and even the strongest Blue family couldn't compete with Guanhai City.
Not only Guanhai City, but several other forces also eyed Linhai City.
Without the Feng family, Linhai City became a big piece of fat meat!
The Blue family was smart, immediately reporting the mysterious demise of the Feng family to the Cold Water Holy Land.
The Cold Water Holy Land sent people to investigate the mysterious demise of the Feng family.
The results of the investigation remain unknown, but the Cold Water Holy Land ultimately appointed the Blue family as the rulers of Linhai City.
Because of this, the forces that were about to act against Linhai City all backed down.
In this region, the Cold Water Holy Land is like an emperor.
No one dares to defy their orders unless they have a death wish.
This gave the Blue family a chance to breathe.
With the resources of Linhai City, given enough time, the Blue family could grow stronger.
In a thousand years, if the family produces a few high-level Heavenly Venerates, their position will be secure.
Having resources makes a big difference.
After changing directions several times, Lin Moyu arrived at Guanhai City.
Unlike Linhai City, Guanhai City did not use radiant light to welcome visitors.
The entire city exuded an ancient and majestic aura, with a sense of heaviness.
Although Linhai City had a similar feeling, it was far less pronounced than in Guanhai City.
This indicated that Guanhai City's history likely far exceeded that of Linhai City.
Moreover, Guanhai City was larger than Linhai City, about one and a half times its size.
A formation covered the sky above Guanhai City, with patrol teams constantly on the move.
No matter where trouble occurred in the city, they would arrive immediately to maintain order.
Lin Moyu went to the largest restaurant in Guanhai City, ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine, and leisurely began to eat.
While eating and drinking, he was also gathering information.
Many people were in the restaurant, and from their conversations, he could gather a lot of information.
Suddenly, the entire city roared, and a massive formation appeared in the sky. A large team flew overhead, heading into the distance.
This team had many strong members, with more than twenty Heavenly Venerates.
At the forefront were three high-level Heavenly Venerates.
The commotion immediately sparked discussions among the crowd.
"Wow, it's the Huang family's team, led by three high-level Heavenly Venerates of the Huang family."
"The Huang family is mobilizing a large force. Judging by the direction, they must be heading to Linhai City."
"I just got the news. The Holy Land has issued a punishment, and the Blue family of Linhai City has been exterminated. Linhai City is now an ownerless city."
"I get it. The Huang family wants to seize Linhai City."
"A hundred years ago, if it weren't for the Holy Land's appointment, Linhai City should have belonged to the Huang family. The Blue family didn't deserve to be the rulers of Linhai City, occupying an origin spirit vein for nothing."
"That's not necessarily true. Other forces are also eyeing it. The Huang family will have to fight to become the new rulers of Linhai City."
Listening to the discussions, Lin Moyu finally understood what had happened.
The Huang family of Guanhai City is the most powerful family in Guanhai City and its ruler.
Back then, the Huang family competed with the Feng family of Linhai City for the origin spirit vein.
Unfortunately, the Feng family was stronger at the time, so the Huang family didn't gain any advantage.
Later, the Feng family perished, and the Holy Land appointed the Blue family as the new rulers of Linhai City. They didn't dare defy the Holy Land's orders, so they didn't act against Linhai City.
Now, with the Blue family's strong members all dead, they no longer qualify to be the rulers of Linhai City, and the Cold Water Holy Land hasn't appointed a new ruler.
The Huang family finally seized the opportunity to send troops to Linhai City, intending to take it over.
According to the rules of the Origin Continent, in such situations, whoever occupies Linhai City can become its new ruler.
Linhai City also has an origin spirit vein. If successful, the Huang family will gain more origin spirit veins and resources, meaning their fortune will grow stronger.
At that time, the Huang family might produce a Dao Venerate and become a four-star force.
The Huang family has been at the peak of three-star forces for a long time, just one Dao Venerate away from advancing to a four-star force.
However, the Huang family is not without challenges. Within ten thousand miles around Linhai City, besides the Huang family of Guanhai City, two other forces are also eyeing it.
They are in similar situations to the Huang family, all wanting to obtain the origin spirit vein of Linhai City.
Next, a fierce battle will unfold centered around Linhai City.
Linhai City might be shattered, with countless casualties.
These forces only want the origin spirit vein. What happens to Linhai City and its people doesn't matter to them.
