"The grudge of Xiyue's clan can be considered settled. What should I do next?"
After leaving Bai Ting City, Xiao Lin began to wander aimlessly through the Central Plains.
Earlier, before coming to the Central Plains, Xiao Lin felt that there were many things to be done. But after arriving in the Central Plains, for a moment, Xiao Lin felt somewhat lost.
"Should I find a place to first improve my own strength?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but think to himself.
As for the word "Yellow Spring" that the Qi Clan Leader, Qi Zhong, had shouted at the last moment when he wiped out the Qi Clan, he naturally knew it referred to the Yellow Spring Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions of the Central Plains.
However, with his current strength, he no longer feared this existence, which ranked at the bottom among the first-rate forces of the Central Plains.
Excluding the Eight Ancient Clans, the first-rate forces on the surface of the Central Plains were the One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Pavilions.
From this jingle, it wasn't hard to hear that the Four Pavilions ranked last among these first-rate forces in the Central Plains. Of course, the Falling Star Pavilion back when it had Yao Lao was an exception.
As of now, Yao Lao had already been missing from the Central Plains for about ten years. The current strength of the Falling Star Pavilion was not much different from the other three pavilions. But generally speaking, there were still slight gaps between the Four Pavilions.
According to what Xiao Lin knew, the Wind Lightning Pavilion was likely the strongest, the Falling Star Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion were roughly equal, and the Yellow Spring Pavilion was the weakest!
This was the current strength of the Four Pavilions.
In addition, each of the Four Pavilions only had one Dou Zun presiding over them. Xiao Lin currently wasn't afraid at all!
Therefore, regardless of whether there was a relationship between the Qi Clan and the Yellow Spring Pavilion, it didn't matter to Xiao Lin. Unless the two words the Qi Clan Leader Qi Zhong spoke at the end referred to the Yellow Spring Demon Saint!
Then he might have to run away immediately.
But was that possible? The answer was obviously no.
Just like that, after avenging the destruction of his daughter-in-law's clan, Xiao Lin began to wander aimlessly through the Central Plains. Of course, during this period, Xiao Lin would occasionally stay for a day or two in some of the cities he passed by.
During this time, Xiao Lin would purchase some materials for refining weapons in these cities. As mentioned, another purpose for Xiao Lin coming to the Central Plains was to forge a handy weapon.
Although he already had the Mithril Essence, one of the top-tier refining materials, in his hands, having just the Mithril Essence wasn't enough if he wanted to forge a weapon that suited his heart's desire.
Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally needed to collect materials everywhere.
But unfortunately, while he did find many auxiliary materials for refining, Xiao Lin ran into difficulties regarding the main materials. It was mainly because Xiao Lin's standards were too high. If it wasn't a top-tier main material, he simply wouldn't spare it a glance!
This had also caused him to delay until now.
One day, as Xiao Lin wandered along the way, he arrived at the territory of the Southern Region of the Central Plains.
"Sky Star City? Good name! Majestic enough!"
Before this city, Xiao Lin halted his steps and couldn't help but praise.
Before Xiao Lin's eyes was a large-scale city.
With just a glance, Xiao Lin had already sensed the existence of a city-protecting array around this Sky Star City.
A place capable of setting up a city-protecting array was naturally not comparable to those small cities Xiao Lin had encountered along the way.
"Brother has a good eye. This Sky Star City is one of the several main cities under the banner of the Falling Star Pavilion. There are even several experts of the Dou Zong realm presiding within the city!"
Just as Xiao Lin was sighing with admiration, someone beside him suddenly struck up a conversation.
"Oh? This Sky Star City is under the banner of the Falling Star Pavilion?"
Seeing someone talk to him, Xiao Lin immediately asked with a look of curiosity.
Actually, the reason Xiao Lin became interested was mainly because this person mentioned the three words "Falling Star Pavilion."
To be honest, Xiao Lin hadn't expected that by wandering aimlessly like this, he would actually arrive within the sphere of influence of the Falling Star Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions.
However, the question Xiao Lin asked caused the smile on the face of the young man who had just spoken to him to freeze.
"Um... Excellency, you didn't know that Sky Star City is a force under the Falling Star Pavilion?"
The young man who struck up the conversation looked at Xiao Lin with an expression as if he were looking at an alien.
He originally thought the other party had praised the city because they knew it belonged to the Falling Star Pavilion; it turned out the man didn't know at all!
This made things quite awkward.
"I'm truly sorry. I've just arrived in this place, so..."
Looking at the young man who had clearly misunderstood something, Xiao Lin also appeared a bit embarrassed.
"It's fine, it's fine. Then let me give your Excellency a brief introduction to this Sky Star City!"
Tucking away the frozen expression on his face, the young man spoke again with a smile.
It was clear that this young man's character was quite high.
Subsequently, Xiao Lin walked alongside the young man as they entered Sky Star City together. During this time, the young man also educated Xiao Lin on various matters regarding Sky Star City and its relationship with the Falling Star Pavilion.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also learned some information from his chat with this youth.
First of all, this young man was named Xu Mo. Not only was he the son of the Sky Star City Lord, but he was also a disciple of the Falling Star Pavilion. At only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years of age, he was already a Dou Huang!
Yes, a Dou Huang in his late twenties.
If this were placed in the Northwestern Region, he would definitely be called a genius among geniuses!
Of course, even in the Central Plains, being able to become a Dou Huang at this age could be considered quite decent. It was precisely because of this dual identity that he had struck up a conversation upon seeing Xiao Lin's exclamation.
"I didn't expect little friend to possess a Dou Huang cultivation at such a young age and be a disciple of the Falling Star Pavilion. Truly impressive!"
Since Xiao Lin was currently presenting himself as someone around forty years old, calling the twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old Xu Mo "little friend" was actually not a problem.
"It's nothing. There are still many people in this world stronger than me. On the contrary, Senior Lin, I wonder what business brings you to my Sky Star City. If there is a need, I am willing to fulfill my duties as a host!"
During the chat just now, Xu Mo had actually been testing Xiao Lin.
However, whether it was his temperament or his Dou Qi cultivation, both made Xu Mo feel that Xiao Lin was as deep as an abyss. Therefore, he had changed his address for Xiao Lin to "Senior."
Xu Mo could be very certain that the cultivation of the person before him was definitely not below that of his father or the elders of the Falling Star Pavilion!
This was also the reason why he attached such importance to Xiao Lin at this moment.
As the son of the Sky Star City Lord, this was his responsibility!
After all, thinking toward the worst-case scenario, if the other party wanted to cause trouble in Sky Star City, it would not be good news. Although he felt that Senior Lin was not a bad person through their conversation, there is always a "what if," right?
Thus, it was very necessary to clarify Senior Lin's purpose for coming to Sky Star City.
Because of Xu Mo's respectful attitude from beginning to end, even Xiao Lin could not find a single fault. Of course, since Xiao Lin himself had no ill intentions toward Sky Star City, he naturally wouldn't resent Xu Mo's current attitude.
