Immortality: Begin by Manipulating Your Shadow

Chapter 141 Banquet
Zhou Honglin's voice outside the door.

The few people in the private room were stunned.

And Lin Yue was still eating, as if he didn't hear Zhou Honglin's voice.

"Boss, Lord Zhou is here, and I don't know how he knew you were leaving the customs. We didn't notify him."

There was some doubt in Zhang Tianfu's tone.

Lin Yue nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say whether to open the door to let Zhou Honglin in, but continued to eat and drink.

For a while, Zhang Tianfu and the others couldn't understand what Lin Yue meant.

But Lin Yue didn't speak, so naturally none of them dared to open the door.

After waiting for a while.

Lin Yue raised his head and gestured to Zhang Tianfu.

Zhang Tianfu naturally understood Lin Yue's meaning immediately, and quickly got up to open the door of the private room.

"Master Zhou, are you a rare visitor?"

Looking at Zhou Honglin who walked in with a smile on his face, Lin Yue said something with a half-smile while eating.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, it's been almost two months since you didn't show up. It seems that you are either retreating or have something to do?"

Zhou Honglin looked at Lin Yue, came to the table, and asked with a smile.

Glancing at Zhou Honglin's subordinates standing outside the private room, Lin Yue said to Zhou Honglin with a half-smile:

"Unexpectedly, Master Zhou paid so much attention to me, Yue, not only during the time I was away, but also took good care of me from the Tianlong Gang.

Even as soon as I left customs, you received the news. "

Hearing Lin Yue's pun, Zhou Honglin smiled, opened a stool and sat down.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, don't blame me.

Now this Yongxing City has poured in too many monks, mixed with dragons and snakes, I am also powerless and quite helpless. "

Hearing what Zhou Honglin said, Lin Yue stopped what he was saying, and looked up at him.

smiled.

Taking the handkerchief that Ying Yi handed over, he wiped his mouth.

Putting down the handkerchief, Lin Yue looked at Zhou Honglin quietly without saying a word.

For a while, the atmosphere in the private room became a little depressing.

Zhou Honglin's face, also under Lin Yue's gaze, slowly dissipated the smile.

"Lord Zhou, if you return the lost shops of my Tianlong Gang now, we will still be friends."

"Fellow Daoist Yue, have you misunderstood something?"

A smile appeared on Zhou Honglin's face again.

"It seems that I misunderstood."

Lin Yue nodded with a smile on his face.

Seeing Lin Yue's reaction, Zhou Honglin also showed a hearty smile:
"I came to find fellow Taoist Yue today because I actually wanted to discuss another deal with fellow Taoist Yue. I wonder if fellow Daoist Yue is interested?"

"Trade?"

"Yes."

Lin Yue looked at Zhou Honglin without speaking, and the smile on his face began to dissipate.

After a while.

"Let's listen to Mr. Zhou first. If the deal is worthwhile, you can consider it."

"Because of this transaction, confidentiality is relatively heavy.

So if you can't confirm it first, fellow Daoist Yue, I can't say the content of the sale for the time being, please forgive me.

However, I can tell you about the remuneration first. "

Zhou Honglin had a little apology on his face, but he was very sincere.

Nodding his head, Lin Yue picked up the chopsticks on the table again, glanced at Zhou Honglin, and said with a smile:
"Understood, Mr. Zhou walked slowly.

Just left customs, very hungry.Forgive me for having a solo meal this time.

But now, my Tianlong gang's large-scale industry has been invaded by unknown small gangs, and I am almost too poor to open the pot, so please forgive me for not entertaining. "

Lin Yue's sudden expulsion order was obviously beyond Zhou Honglin's expectations, which made the smile on his face froze immediately.

However, soon.

The smile on Zhou Honglin's face recovered, he nodded, got up and said to Lin Yue:

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Yue for dinner.

But you don't need to make a decision so quickly on this matter. After careful consideration, if you are still interested, you can talk to me in detail. "

Lin Yue nodded with a smile and said:
"Of course, I will consider it carefully, and if necessary, I will pay a visit.

Of course, I also hope, Mr. Zhou, that you can reconsider my previous proposal. "

Zhou Honglin squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a smile:
"I still say the same thing, Fellow Daoist Yue, you misunderstood.

It seems that this time, you did not agree to this transaction because you still misunderstood me for the time being.

It's okay, Fellow Daoist Yue has just left customs, and he hasn't figured out the relationship between them, so it's naturally normal.

Therefore, I also hope that you, Daoist Yue, will give me an answer after you think carefully again. "

After finishing speaking, Zhou Honglin stopped talking, nodded to Lin Yue, then got up and left the private room.

Watching Zhou Honglin leave, Zhang Tianfu got up and closed the door of the private room.

Get back to your seat.

Looking at Lin Yue, the four of Zhang Tianfu didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the private room is a bit dignified.

Judging from the conversation between Zhou Honglin and Lin Yue just now, everyone present naturally heard something.

It's just that they haven't figured it out yet, what kind of relationship is this?
"Boss, follow what you just said.

You mean, these sieges that our Tianlong Gang encountered this time.The man behind the scenes is Zhou Honglin, the owner of Shunxin Building? "

This time, it was Sun Yonghong who spoke first.

After thinking about it, she still couldn't figure out what was the basis for Lin Yue's judgment?
Zhang Tianfu, He Yuwen and Long Shili obviously didn't want to understand this question.

At this time, when Sun Yonghong asked, they also looked at Lin Yue with some doubts.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the four of them, Lin Yue said slowly:

"Think about it, what did I do before retreating?"

Without an immediate explanation, Lin Yue simply asked a question, and then asked them to use their brains to think.

He not only needs subordinates, but also subordinates who have the ability to execute independently.

otherwise.

How is it different from being a babysitter?
Lin Yue wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, so for these men who had been recruited with great difficulty, Lin Yue hoped to cultivate their thinking ability.

But generally speaking, Lin Yue was very satisfied with the four of them.

This time the Tianlong Gang was besieged by so many small gangs and small groups, and the four of them were able to hold a lot of property, as well as those shopkeepers and buddies, which is indeed very rare.

Of course, what Lin Yue is most satisfied with is.

The few of them didn't disturb their retreat because of this trivial matter.

You know, his retreat this time is to solve the problem of the [Prisoner Sky Seal] on Ah Hong.

This last step.

What needs to be solved is the spirit pattern in the Nascent Soul area, which may be a little different from before. If you are disturbed, you can’t use the shadow thread to build the spirit pattern, and if you maintain the [Prisoner Sky Seal], you don’t know what will happen.

Especially the appearance of Wen Daoqi made Lin Yue feel a little scared when he thought about it now.

Fortunately, the end result wasn't too bad.

Zhang Tianfu and the others naturally didn't understand the thoughts that flashed through Lin Yue's heart. At this moment, they were reminded by Lin Yue.

Only then did some react.

Before Lin Yue retreated, he was going to help Zhou Honglin deal with those bandits.

Not only that, but the four of them also remembered Lin Yue's previous analysis.

"Boss, when you say that, I begin to understand a little bit.

So, these recent actions against our Tianlong Gang are all methods of Zhou Honglin, in order to lure you, the boss? "

Zhang Tianfu had an ugly look on his face.

"This guy, in order to hide his secret. Is that an idea to hide everything?"

He Yuwen's face darkened, and there was a chill in his tone.

Long Shili and Sun Yonghong also had the same ugly faces at this time. At this time, they also began to understand why Lin Yue had no interest in Zhou Honglin's deal just now.

Just for a while, the four of them didn't think of any countermeasures, after all, Shun Xin Lou was very powerful.

Not to mention their little Tianlong Gang, even Lei Jianmen might not dare to touch Shunxinlou.

After thinking about this question.

Zhang Tianfu and the four of them fell silent with ugly faces.

Lin Yue looked at their reactions and didn't say much, just looked at Zhang Tianfu:

"Go and find out, who is the master of Yongxing City under the hands of an elder from Leijianmen?"

"understand!"

Zhang Tianfu nodded, and immediately turned around and left the private room.

Seeing the back of Zhang Tianfu leaving, Lin Yue turned his attention to He Yuwen, Long Shili and Sun Yonghong:

"Next, you three, just take a good look at the remaining assets in the gang. You don't have to think too much about other issues."

"Yes! Boss."

The three nodded.

...

...

Inside the study.

Lin Yue nodded while listening to Zhang Tianfu's report.

Looking at Lin Yue's pensive look, Zhang Tianfu thought for a while, and said to Lin Yue:

"Boss, now it seems that Yi Xing and Zhou Honglin are in the same nest, after all, they belong to the First Prince's faction.

I just said that the siege of our Tianlong Gang this time is so loud that the city guards who are maintaining law and order are all blind.

If not, Duan Yixing gave the order, and I wouldn't believe it even if I was beaten to death. "

At this time, Zhang Tianfu's face was extremely gloomy.

Hearing what Zhang Tianfu said, Lin Yue nodded, and said to him:

"This is inevitable. After all, Duan Yixing has managed Yongxing City for so many years. Zhou Honglin can't hide anything from him.

Therefore, there must have been some communication between the two of them, and Zhou Honglin's actions this time must have been tacitly approved by Duan Yixing. "

"Boss, what should we do now? If Zhou Honglin makes another move because of your refusal, it will be impossible to guard against."

Zhang Tianfu frowned deeply.

No matter how you look at the current situation, it is a little troublesome. If one is not good, the foundation of Yongxing City may not be able to hold on.

"Okay, leave the next thing to me. What you should do, just continue to do well."

"Boss, don't you need to help out?"

Zhang Tianfu was a little puzzled, and his face was a little complicated.

Originally, he wanted to do something to help Lin Yue, but now he always felt powerless.

This made Zhang Tianfu feel very bad. He felt as if he had become a baby under Lin Yue's care.

"No, the next thing is not for the power of the gang to intervene."

"But Boss, whether it's Zhou Honglin from Shunxin Building, or Duan Yixing, the lord of Yongxing City.

It is not easy to rely on personal strength to solve it.

There are many subordinates around them, not casual cultivators who come and go alone. "

These people of the Tianlong Gang are treasures to Lin Yue.

In developing the Tianlong Gang, Lin Yue never wanted to get help in terms of strength, but only for the collection of resources.

Only Lin Yue knows how comfortable it is to practice since he got the Tianlong Gang.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Lin Yue to give up on the Tianlong Gang.

Lin Yue couldn't bear to let him go back to the kind of practice day where he had to do it himself and collect various cultivation resources.

and so…

Thinking of this, Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hands, and said to Zhang Tianfu:

"You don't have to worry too much about this issue. Manage the gang well, and help me keep an eye on Zhou Honglin and Duan Yixing's whereabouts.

If you can do a good job in this matter, that's enough. Go ahead and make arrangements. "

After Lin Yue said that, although Zhang Tianfu was still a little hesitant, he could only bow to Lin Yue and get up to leave.

Looking at the back of Zhang Tianfu leaving, Lin Yue quietly pondered.

Tuk, tuk, tuk...

The index finger tapped unconsciously on the desk.

After a while.

Lin Yue withdrew his thoughts, returned to his room, and meditated.

After nearly two months of crushing, neither Lin Yue nor Ah Hong has recovered.

Even if there is any movement to be done, let's restore this state first.

...

...

Three days later.

inside the room.

Lin Yue listened to Zhang Tianfu's report and nodded.

"Understood, you go down."

"Boss, the city lord Duan Yixing's banquet for Zhou Honglin and those small gangs and small groups is obviously ready to take action.

Order it, there is no one in the gang who is afraid of death! "

Lin Yue looked at Zhang Tianfu and smiled:
"Even if you all go up, is it useful?"

Zhang Tianfu's expression was a bit complicated when he heard the words. He knew very well in his heart how much the Tianlong Gang could do with that little strength.

His face changed, and finally Zhang Tianfu saluted Lin Yue, and then withdrew.

Seeing the figure of Zhang Tianfu leaving, Lin Yue slowly closed his eyes and continued to study.

After three days of recuperation, Lin Yue's condition finally returned to its best.

Even Ah Hong regained some vitality...

...

Outside the door, in the yard.

"How? Has the boss ordered the war?"

Seeing that Zhang Tianfu finally came out, He Yuwen asked eagerly.

He's been suffocated for a while.

Now, Lin Yue is finally out of the customs. He is already eager to try and prepare for a big fight.

Long Shili on the side also had the same eager eyes as He Yuwen.

Sun Yonghong was relatively calm, but judging from her face, it was obvious that she was ready for a big fight.

Looking at their eager expressions, Zhang Tianfu secretly sighed and shook his head.

"Let's go, what to do, the boss has his own arrangements."

"What?! At this point, is the boss really planning to hold back? The actions of the city lord are clearly plotting our Tianlong Gang."

Obviously, He Yuwen couldn't accept it, and even wanted to go into the room and ask Lin Yue.

But in the end, he still didn't have the guts, so he could only be ruthless towards Zhang Tianfu.

Hearing He Yuwen's tone, Zhang Tianfu was already in a bad mood, and immediately exploded.

"What kind of strength do you have, and you don't have points in your heart? So what if you go up? What can you do to help? Rush forward to die?!

Since the boss explained it like this, he must have his own calculations in his heart.

The boss ordered us to manage the gang well, and he will naturally take care of other matters.

Isn't that obvious enough? !
The boss is now like a nanny, taking care of us, and now we are doing well in small things, and we can contribute a little bit.

But in major matters, he can't help the boss at all! "

As soon as Zhang Tianfu said this, He Yuwen immediately shut up.

Sun Yonghong and Long Shili also had nothing to say.

Although their faces were a bit ugly and they were not feeling well in their hearts, they naturally knew that what Zhang Tianfu said was indeed the truth.

When it comes to opponents at the level of Zhou Honglin and Duan Yixing, their strength and power are not enough.

Moreover, judging from the current situation.

The reason why they were able to withstand Zhou Honglin's actions before was because he was just playing around and didn't really make a move.

I guess I'm thinking about creating some chips to negotiate with the boss?
Not stupid after all, with so much information for them to think about these days.

The four of them naturally thought of this possibility at the same time.

After thinking of this, the four of them felt bad in their hearts.

just.

Even so, so what?

The four of them looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to leave the courtyard and return to their respective posts.

...

After a few hours.

moonlit night.

Breezy and cloudy.

...

Lin Yue opened his eyes from the bed.

At this time, he has returned to his best state, both mentally and physically.

The seventh level of power in the foundation building period surged surging in his body.

Ying [-] and Ying [-] pushed the door open, came to Lin Yue, nodded, turned into shadows and merged into Lin Yue's shadow, and turned into the shadow servant mark again.

...

After a while.

A figure rose from the sky in the Lin residence.

The black and red robe made this figure extremely difficult to be spotted under the moonlight.

...

City Lord's Mansion.

A dinner party is taking place.

Duan Yixing sat on the main seat, with a slight smile on his face, drinking the spiritual wine calmly.

Beside him, a beautiful figure with an ugly face accompanied him.

Downstairs, dozens of gang leaders and leaders of small groups were promoting cups and changing dishes, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

Zhou Honglin sat below Duan Yixing's right side, with a smile on his face, and occasionally toasted with Duan Yixing.

...

Just finished a negotiation and determined the next development direction.

At this time, everyone was extremely happy in their hearts.

Duan Yixing is happy that so many small gangs and small groups have attached themselves to him and become tools for him to make money.

Those small gangs and small groups are happy that they have the support of the city lord Duan Yixing, and their future development in Yongxing City will definitely be smoother.

But Zhou Honglin's happy things may not necessarily be the same as his superficial ones.

Even Duan Yixing dare not say that he can understand Zhou Honglin's mind.

However, he didn't think too much about this kind of thing.

It's just a combination of benefits.

The cooperation between them does not know how long it can last.

Fish if it is beneficial, as long as you can fish, and let's talk about it when you can't get it, it's that simple.

...

Above the City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Yue's red and black robe moved with the wind, and two points of darkness separated from the robe, turning into Ying [-] and Ying [-].

Below, in the city lord's mansion.

Two pitch-black shadows lurked in the shadows and swam around, constantly harvesting lives silently.

Feeling the warmth and memory fragments brought about by the [Shadow Devouring] ability exerted by Fenying's clone, Lin Yue's expression was ruthless.

While pouring the memory fragments towards Ying Yi, he sensed the strange aura gathering towards the [Print-Eating Bead].

Lin Yue could vaguely feel that with the gathering of these strange auras, something was gestating in the [Bit Seal Bead].

For these city guards, the strongest captain is only the first and second stage of the foundation building period. Under the assassination of the clone, they are all eliminated in an instant, and it is difficult to even make a little extra noise.

Not to mention those, only the ordinary city guard members of the eighth and ninth levels of the Qi refining period.

The movements of the two shadow clones stopped quickly, but it took less than a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the entire City Lord's Mansion, except for the living room where the dinner was held, was dead silent.

Several city guard squads stationed in the City Lord's Mansion have been dealt with by Lin Yue's clone.

The seventh level of strength in the foundation building period.

The current Lin Yue is no longer the ant he was when he first came to this world.

Now that the surrounding area had been cleaned up, Lin Yue naturally went directly down to the noisy living room.

...

At this time, the atmosphere in the living room was still lively, and no one was aware of what was happening outside.

no way.

Lin Yue's shadow ability did not have any breath fluctuations, not to mention that in the shadow of the night, Lin Yue's strength can still be greatly increased.

It can be said that Lin Yue, who has the ability of shadow, is born to be the king of shadows.

Not to mention assassination, even if it is a head-on fight that goes one or two levels higher, the ninth stage of the hard foundation building stage is not a big deal.

What's more, these little guys?
Therefore, when Lin Yue stepped into the door of the living room with Ying [-] and Ying [-], many people didn't even notice Lin Yue's arrival.

Of course, this does not include Duan Yixing and Zhou Honglin.

And the one who was a step behind the two of them was the female monk beside Duan Yixing.

At this moment, she looked at Lin Yue and frowned slightly.

She always felt as if she had seen him somewhere?
"Fellow Daoist Yue? Originally I was thinking whether I should invite you to come with me.

But thinking that you don't like it very much, this kind of banquet that comes and goes, naturally gave up this thought.

But now it seems that I was wrong.

This time it was my fault, my fault, for letting you come here uninvited.

Come on, the banquet is just beginning, take a seat quickly, have a drink together, and get to know everyone. "

The first to speak was naturally Zhou Honglin.

At this moment, he stood up and invited Lin Yue with a smile on his face.

That look.

It was like seeing an old friend for many years.
