Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1251 - 651 Movements from All Sides_2

Now that he had obtained the result he desired, Lin Tianming had no intention of lingering.

However, before bidding farewell to Liang Shaoguang, Lin Tianming still inquired about the situation in the southern region of Wei Kingdom.

In truth, the Liang Family’s knowledge of intelligence concerning other nations in Qingzhou was limited, and it was seldom timely.

After all, the southern region of Wei Kingdom was far from Jinfeng Nation, and with internal turmoil unfolding within Jinfeng Nation, the major forces of Yuanchen Sect had increasingly tightened their blockade on the Liang Family, greatly impacting their business.

Left with no choice, the Liang Family’s subordinate Commerce Alliance had to scale back its range of activities, withdrawing most of its external forces to counter the threats posed by Yuanchen Sect’s major factions.

Under such circumstances, the Liang Family could only resort to alternative channels to acquire information regarding matters of significant influence.

In this way, news that circulated within limited scopes was rarely accessible from Jinfeng Nation.

Nonetheless, this intelligence was mostly irrelevant to Lin Tianming; he wasn’t particularly concerned with these issues.

In his eyes, he was focused mainly on the situation in Golden Crow Country, especially intelligence regarding the Five Poison Sect.

This was because during their travels as a couple, they had no choice but to kill a Golden Core cultivator of the Five Poison Sect.

Now, so many years had passed, and he was uncertain whether the Five Poison Sect had discovered any clues about the matter or whether their overt and covert conflict with Longqing Sect had escalated.

According to Liang Shaoguang, the tensions in Golden Crow Country seemed to have subsided.

As for the reasons behind this, it was unclear; the Five Poison Sect had surprisingly ceased their targeting of Longqing Sect, leading to an unprecedented calm across Golden Crow Country.

Yet, in stark contrast to the Golden Crow Cultivation World, the neighboring countries exhibited significant unrest.

Reportedly, within several of the Seven Southern Kingdoms of Qingzhou, including Xitang Country and Bei Liang Country, currents surged beneath the surface.

The most visible change was the frequent sightings of Golden Core Stage cultivators, who usually appeared rarely, along the borders between Helan Country and Golden Crow Country, eventually gathering at a place known as the Liusha Wasteland for a period of time.

Furthermore, a number of disciples from various Golden Core forces were stationed at this so-called Liusha Wasteland, and even some Golden Core cultivators from influential forces were present there.

As for the exact reasons, the Liang Family had yet to uncover the details.

But after hearing this information, Lin Tianming silently contemplated in his heart.

In his view, such occurrences in the current southern Qingzhou were indeed rather unusual.

It should be noted that even during the internal turmoil in Wei Kingdom, its influence did not extend to profoundly impact the other six nations in the southern region—at most, sparking some discussion and attention.

But now, it appeared that most forces from these nations were deploying cultivators, all heading directly to Liusha Wasteland, which suggested there was undoubtedly a purpose behind their actions.

Otherwise, a previously unknown and insignificant location wouldn’t warrant such significant efforts by so many Golden Core forces.

However, upon further thought, Lin Tianming realized that the Liusha Wasteland happened to be situated at the border between Helan Country and Golden Crow Country.

Usually, this place was sparsely inhabited, merely serving as a buffer zone between the two nations—truly a no-man’s land.

What’s more, just as its name implies, the Liusha Wasteland was merely a vast expanse of shifting sands. With its perennially weak spiritual energy, it lacked any spirit land industries, and there had never been talk of treasures appearing in the area.

Yet, it was this barren land shunned by both countries that had somehow attracted the attention of so many Golden Core forces.

Lin Tianming understood that there must be some reason behind this.

According to his speculation, it was highly likely that some treasure had emerged within the Liusha Wasteland, or perhaps mineral resources had been discovered.

And given that these Golden Core forces had merely stationed people for observation without taking action, it was possible they had yet to determine the specific nature of the treasure or how to obtain it.

Additionally, another possibility was that something within Liusha Wasteland warranted their caution.

Thus, they had no choice but to watch and wait, lest they act rashly and pay a price that allowed others to take advantage.

Thinking of these possibilities, Lin Tianming began to wonder whether the Lin Family had tapped into these developments or sent someone to investigate.

Given his understanding of the elder generation with the "Shi" name in the Lin Family, it was certain that the family would send someone to observe, at least to get a handle on the situation before deciding whether to get involved in this tangled affair.

After all, the Lin Family had already completely recovered from the Wei Kingdom’s internal turmoil and had grown steadily stronger.

The most direct evidence was the number of Golden Core cultivators the Lin Family possessed. Setting aside Lin Tianming and his wife, along with Lin Tianhu who had been wandering afar, they already had several others.

Of these individuals, Lin Shikang, Ye Pinghai, and Lin Shilu had already been at the Golden Core Stage for quite some time, and their cultivation was likely close to reaching the Mid Stage Golden Core Realm under normal progressions.

If the circumstances were opportune, it was even possible that someone may have already broken through to the Mid Stage Golden Core Realm.

With this advantage, combined with the spirit beast Soul-eating Spider and Guest Elder Hu Yuan, the Lin Family’s Golden Core combat strength in Wei Kingdom was not significantly weaker than that of the Zhenyang Sect.

Furthermore, Helan Country itself bordered Wei Kingdom, though the Liusha Wasteland was located at the northernmost part of Helan Country. Reaching this destination required traversing much of the territories of Wei Kingdom and Helan Country.

Even so, the Liusha Wasteland was not particularly far from the Lin Family’s base in southern Wei Kingdom.

At the very least, at the traveling pace of Golden Core cultivators, it would take merely a month to get there.

Under these circumstances, regardless of what major event unfolded at the Liusha Wasteland, the Lin Family would need to ascertain the cause and prepare contingency plans to address any potential crises.

Sending family members to investigate this matter would be the most prudent course of action.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but feel some unease, uncertain whether the Liusha Wasteland incident would bring fortune or disaster to the Lin Family.

Even amidst his concern, Lin Tianming had no effective solutions for now.

After all, he and his wife, along with Lin Tianhu and others, had an agreement with the Liang Family, and until the Liang Family’s situation was thoroughly resolved, they could not extricate themselves.

Therefore, no matter how much Lin Tianming worried, he could only continue to monitor the development of events concerning the Liusha Wasteland.

If some earth-shattering events indeed erupted or if the Lin Family faced a severe crisis, Lin Tianming would certainly not stand idly by.

At that time, even if he couldn’t extricate himself, he would find a way to share some of the burden for the Lin Family.

Fortunately, the relationship between the Lin Family and the Tang Family remained amicable, especially the ties between Tang Lixin and Lin Tianming, which could be considered friendly to some extent.

Should such a moment come, Lin Tianming would pay any price, even wealth and inheritance, to implore the Tang Family for assistance.

At the very least, he would ensure that the Lin Family overcame the imminent crisis.

If absolutely necessary, he would disregard the agreement with the Liang Family and return to the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World in the shortest time possible.

Grasping this, Lin Tianming exhaled deeply, his tension easing somewhat.

Afterward, Lin Tianming and Liang Shaoguang chatted briefly, during which he reminded Liang Shaoguang to monitor intelligence concerning the Seven Southern Kingdoms of Qingzhou.

In particular, Golden Crow Country and Helan Country were his primary areas of focus.

Witnessing Lin Tianming’s seriousness, Liang Shaoguang also developed a strong interest in the changes occurring within the Seven Southern Kingdoms of Qingzhou.

It was evident that, given Liang Shaoguang’s insight and experience, he too could sense the probable reasons behind the incidents at Liusha Wasteland.

However, since the Liang Family was currently in crisis and struggling to ensure its own survival, it naturally lacked the capacity to involve itself in such affairs.

Yet, since Lin Tianming had requested assistance multiple times, combined with his contributions to the Liang Family and unrivaled power, Liang Shaoguang had no reason to offend Lin Tianming over such trivial matters.

Thus, Liang Shaoguang firmly assured that he would undoubtedly dispatch some family members to focus on monitoring the Seven Southern Kingdoms of Qingzhou.

Should there be any news or major developments, they would immediately report back to the Liang Family and notify him.

Receiving this response, Lin Tianming nodded in approval, feeling satisfied with Liang Shaoguang’s arrangements.

Internally, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After sorting out these affairs, Lin Tianming finally bade farewell to Liang Shaoguang and returned to his own cave mansion.
