"Everyone, this is Lin's residence."

Lin Mu pointed to the huge complex of ancient buildings in front of him that resembled an ancient palace and said.

"The roads here are more complicated, so be sure to follow me later."

"Oh...this is really your home?"

Jiang Chen smacked his lips. These buildings looked like ancient buildings, which meant that this place was probably really a palace before.

So as the owner of this building, Lin should have been a member of the royal family before, right?

"It's been handed down from our ancestors and is a bit old. I hope you don't mind."

Lin Mu smiled faintly and said, "Because the core of the natural moat is to be placed, half of the Lin family lives here."

"There are also some who are stationed at the other end of the Forest of Elements. The environment there is a bit worse near the wilderness. I will take you there later."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the Lin family, like the Ye family, had placed their family's headquarters on the outer layer of the moat.

It is estimated that if the Lin family did not have to protect the core of the natural moat, they would not be divided into two groups like this.

"No, no, no, I think it's good to stay here."

Xiao Yan rarely gave up and walked quickly towards the ancient building, fearing that it would be too late and Lin Mu would take them to another station.

"Master Yan's behavior... is quite suspicious~"

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin, suddenly approached Lin Mu, and asked quietly: "Can I ask which station the sisters you mentioned are at?"

"Of course it's the Forest of Elements station. The people who stay there are all the envoys from the actual combat faction. They don't usually come here very often."

Lin Mu smiled and explained: "But Brother Yan probably won't think about it."

"understood."

Jiang Chen felt relieved. Xiao Yan's attitude was already obvious. He made it clear that he didn't want to meet Lin Mu's sisters.

But the more Master Yan resisted, the more Jiang Chen became interested in these sisters.

Don't get me wrong, Jiang Chen has no interest in becoming a thief, he just wants to take a look at the Shura Field.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen glanced at Baili Honglian quietly, his eyes full of amusement.

Although he could also tell that Baili Honglian really had no interest in Xiao Yan, he still looked forward to meeting each other.

Under the leadership of Lin Mu, Jiang Chen stepped into this simple and gorgeous palace.

As Lin Mu said, the roads here are extremely complicated. Every step you take is like changing the scene. Coupled with the high walls on both sides of the road, it is difficult to judge the direction from the sun, and it is easy to get lost here.

But the most important thing is that Jiang Chen noticed the presence of runes in many places in this palace complex.

"That's right. Lin's research on Noble Phantasms is the strongest in the entire federation. There seems to be nothing wrong with applying it to his own stronghold."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. After all, this was a place used to protect the core of the moat. It would be unreasonable if the defense was not perfect.

However, Jiang Chen still noticed some strange auras along the way.

Almost all the Lin clan members they encountered had hurried expressions and hurried steps, as if they were busy dealing with something.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the Tianqian core?

"Everyone, we're here."

Finally, Lin Mu stopped in front of an independent courtyard and said, "This Tianhua Garden is specially used for you to rest. You can rest here during your stay in the Southern Territory."

"There are many rooms inside. You can choose as you like. No one else will disturb you."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. The treatment was the same as when he was in Ye's family. However, these big families are really willful. They just used such a big house as a guest room. I really don't know when I can buy such a house. .

"Jiang Chen, let me take you to find my father first. They are already waiting for you."

"good."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, glanced at Xiao Yan and Baili Honglian, and said, "Senior Baili, Master Yan, I'll leave for a while."

"President, don't worry, I will take good care of my senior sister."

Xiao Yan regained his original dissolute temperament and approached Baili Honglian to show his courtesy.

But Baili Honglian obviously had no intention of answering Xiao Yan. After replying with the word "Go away", he found an empty room and started meditating.

She didn't know much about Jiang Chen's little friends, but she knew that Jiang Chen would seek her passage not because he was idle and bored, but because he really needed to rely on her combat power.

Therefore, she needs to maintain her combat effectiveness at its best.

"Hey... This young master is provoking someone. It's a bad year."

Seeing the two people leaving one after another, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, picked up the latent dragon, looked at it, and said, "Mo, you have been sleeping for a long enough time. Why don't you come out and chat with me for a while?"

There was silence in the void, and Mo showed no sign of appearing.

"It's really...it seems like I can only be more honest lately."

Xiao Zhe lay facelessly on the grass, looking at the clear sky above his head, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

"This sky...is getting uglier."

…

"Lin Mu, is there something really wrong with the Tianqian system?"

Looking at Lin Mu leading the way, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask this question.

"...If someone else were to ask, I would say no, but if it were you..."

Lin Mu stopped talking and said: "The damage caused by the Huolin Disaster to the Tianqian system was worse than we expected. Although we barely rebuilt the three-layer defense, the strength is much weaker than before."

"The most important thing is that there are many loopholes in the Tianqian system. Once it encounters a major impact, it is very likely that irreparable damage will occur."

Speaking of this, Lin Mu also showed a trace of fatigue on his face, saying: "Although we have come up with a way to repair it, there have been many forces attacking the Tianqian system recently, which has greatly delayed our repair progress."

Jiang Chen understood that in addition to the sudden attack of the Careless, the remaining thing that Lin Mu mentioned should be the Sky-Opening Cone.

Compared with the accidental attack of the Careless, the Sky-Opening Cone, which may be spread throughout the Federation and can directly pierce the three layers of defense, is more threatening.

But now that there is a target, it will be easier to deal with.

"Don't worry, one of the purposes of my coming this time is this."

Jiang Chen patted Lin Mu on the shoulder and said.

"That couldn't be better."

Lin Mu forced a smile. Although he was very unwilling, he really couldn't help too much with his current strength. He could only try his best to help manage the family's industry.

With the full promotion of the treasure, Lin's assets soared again, attracting the envy of many people.

But Lin Mu knew very well that the reason why Lin launched the treasure whose technology was not yet fully mature at this time was to make up for the possible harm caused by the damage of the Tianqian system.

If one day the Tianqian system completely collapsed, Lin hoped that humans would not be helpless when facing evil spirits.

"It's here. Father and the clan leader are waiting for you inside."

Lin Mu stopped and pointed to a simple wooden house in front of him, without any intention of following.

It was obvious that Lin only planned to see Jiang Chen this time.

"Okay."

Jiang Chen did not ask any more questions and went forward to open the wooden door.

The furnishings in the wooden house were very simple, with a style of a farmhouse.

In the center of the wooden house, Lin Dong, CEO of the Lin Group, and another old man were sitting there quietly waiting.

"Jiang Chen, you're here."

"Uncle Lin, long time no see."

Jiang Chen bowed slightly, then looked at the old man and said, "Junior greets Chief Lin."

"No need to be polite, I don't have so many rules here."

Clan Chief Lin waved his hand and smiled, "Manager Luo said you have something important to tell us, but you don't want to tell us on the phone."

"I'm very curious about what it is, so I called you over so hastily. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not."

Jiang Chen shook his head, but his eyes unconsciously drifted across every corner of the wooden house.

"Don't worry, no one can hear our conversation in this place."

Clan Chief Lin paused the wooden crutch in his hand, and golden runes suddenly appeared and spread throughout the wooden house.

This wooden house is like a treasure!

"In that case, I'll tell you straight."

Jiang Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air and told Chief Lin about the Kaitian Cone in detail.

After hearing what Jiang Chen said, the expressions of Chief Lin and Lin Dong became gloomy.

Manager Luo really didn't tell them. Is he worried about being eavesdropped?

Jiang Chen didn't think that Qimingxing and the four major families would have no confidential communication channels, but he still didn't dare to tell the details remotely. It seems that these traitors have penetrated deeper than he thought.

"We have also noticed the situation you mentioned, but we didn't expect it to be like this."

Finally, Lin Dong and Lin clan leader spoke again and said: "The Tianqian system has indeed reported a lot of similar situations during this period, but because it didn't appear in the South Region, we just tried our best to repair it."

"Now it seems that the Avalanche Organization should be worried about being discovered by us too early, so it avoided the area covered by the core of the Tianqian."

Although it is also protected by the Tianqian, the defense strength of the South Region is naturally not comparable to other places.

The probability of successfully activating the Kaitian Cone here is probably much more difficult than other places.

But...

Jiang Chen suddenly became frustrated, and wondered whether the Avalanche Organization would come to the South Region to cause a wave of destruction and directly take the core of the Tianqian.

But he didn't expect that the other party had no intention of taking action here. It seems that his dream of collecting world crystals is doomed to be shattered.

"But if the purpose of the Avalanche Organization is really to summon the gods to descend, we may have a chance to completely repair the natural moat system."

At this moment, Chief Lin suddenly said something that shocked Jiang Chen.

"Completely repair the natural moat? Is this possible?"

Jiang Chen was a little confused. Just now Lin Mu was still saying that it might not be repaired, and here he directly talked about complete repair.

"Although it is a bit risky, there is no better way at the moment."

Chief Lin smiled and said: "But I need you to go to [Rat] again on our behalf." (End of this chapter)
