Long River Eternity

When Zhan Tianqiong was young, he fought hard in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and went through numerous hardships before he achieved his brilliant achievements today.

And the path Lin Ding is taking now is so similar to the one he took back then. He is fighting side by side with a group of like-minded people, conquering everywhere, and constantly tempering himself in the flames of war.

However, Lin Ding possessed a higher talent and a stronger background. Barring any unexpected events, his future achievements would undoubtedly surpass his own. Furthermore, with a powerful being like Yang Nian protecting him, as long as Lin Ding didn't act recklessly, there was virtually no chance of his downfall.

Looking back at his companions who had fought with him in the past, although many of them fell in the bloodshed during the expedition, those who survived have now become powerful and accomplished warriors.

Zhan Tianqiong understood this point clearly, so he tried his best to help Lin Ding.

He knew very well that the development of the Zhan family had reached its limit, and other big families had been secretly curbing the development of the Zhan family. It was almost a pipe dream to want to move to a higher level in the short term.

Therefore, he ordered the siblings Zhan Wushen and Zhan Wushuang to continue to approach Lin Ding and others, hoping that with the help of the younger generation, the Zhan family could overtake others and have a brighter future.

Originally, Zhan Tianqiong wanted to wait and see for a while, but he had already learned that many families were planning to contact Lin Ding. In desperation, he had to increase the stakes and give Lin Ding more assistance.

Because of this, even though he knew that the journey to Beizhou was full of dangers, he still let Zhan Wushen take the risk and go, just to win more favor from Lin Ding.

……

At this moment, Lin Ding and his group had already arrived at the outskirts of Zhongzhou City.

Along the way, Lin Ding described the general situation to Zhan Wushen.

As the captain of the law enforcement team, Zhan Wushen has been handling city affairs in Zhongzhou City all year round. He knows very little about what is happening outside the city, let alone the Beihan Demon Alliance far away in Beizhou.

After listening to Lin Ding's story, he realized that there was an alliance composed of monsters in Jiuzhou, and he couldn't help but lament his own limited knowledge.

At this time, several people flew to the mountains in the northeastern suburbs of the city. Lin Ding stopped and shouted loudly: "Mad Lion! Heavenly Wolf! Come out!"

Not long after, two figures flew out from the mountains and appeared in front of Lin Ding and his companions.

Zhan Wushen looked at the huge wolf in front of him and the small but imposing mad lion, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Although he had heard that there was a Tianji realm monster in Lin Ding's Anding group, and he also knew that a Tianquan realm peak monster came to the suburbs last night, when he faced a monster of such a high level for the first time, he was still a little scared.

This is the difference between humans and monsters. No matter how high your realm is, when you see a monster with a huge body or a ferocious face for the first time, you will involuntarily feel different degrees of fear in your heart, but monsters will never have such feelings when they see humans.

Lin Ding noticed Zhan Wushen's anomaly and introduced him, "These are the Mad Lion and the Heavenly Wolf. They are now our companions." He then introduced the two monsters, "This is Zhan Wushen, the captain of the Zhongzhou City Law Enforcement Team."

Both parties nodded as a greeting.

Then Lin Ding asked Tianlang, "How is your injury?"

"After your treatment, I'm fine now. I've rested for another day today and I'm basically recovered." Tianlang responded.

Lin Ding nodded, then asked, "How about Shi Hu? Is he still behaving well?"

"They are quite well-behaved. After coming here, they have integrated into the society very quickly. Since taking over the territories of Cang Hu and Mei Li, there are plenty of places for them to have fun, unrestrained and at ease." The Crazy Lion said with some pride.

"Okay, you two come with me. Xianxian has been kidnapped by Wuxiang and I need your help. Come with me to rescue her." Lin Ding said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"Wuxiang?! Why did he capture Xianxian? Is Canghu here?" When the Crazy Lion heard it was Wuxiang, he instantly became excited.

Lin Ding shook his head: "No, he came here alone. We'll talk about the details on the way."

"No problem, that bastard Canghu must be with Wuxiang. Let's go and kill them in their lair!" Whenever it comes to Canghu, Kuangshi is always more proactive than anyone else.

Lin Ding turned his gaze towards Tianlang and said slowly, "What about you? This journey may be fraught with danger. I respect your decision."

"You saved my life. Now that I have declared my submission to you, I will follow you through fire and water without even a shred of retreat." Tianlang said firmly without hesitation.

Lin Ding stared at Tianlang deeply, nodded slightly, and suddenly an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart, a mixture of pride, emotion and joy.

In fact, the taming of the Mad Lion was mainly due to Yang Nian, and the Heavenly Wolf was the first demon beast that he truly tamed. This was undoubtedly a recognition of his efforts in this period of time. A huge sense of accomplishment arose in his heart like a tide.

So the three men and two beasts set off immediately, rushing towards Beizhou like lightning.

On the way, Lin Ding carefully recounted everything that happened before and after Liu Xianxian was kidnapped, including his later return to Nanzhou City and Zhongzhou City, and the information he obtained from Qin Hanming and Zhan Tianqiong.

Only then did everyone clearly understand the whole story.

At this time, they had been flying for an hour.

Suddenly, Tianlang's nose twitched slightly, and then he said, "Something's wrong. There's a stranger's scent!"

"What stranger?" Wei Wu looked confused.

The wolf stopped and sniffed hard again, then looked towards the woods below and shouted loudly, "Come out! Stop hiding!"

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, two figures shot up into the sky like sharp arrows and landed steadily in front of everyone.

One of the figures complained to the other, "I told you not to follow me. Now you've been discovered, haven't you?"

"They flew so fast, I just took a breath. Who could have expected that the dog's nose was so sensitive?" another figure said helplessly.

"I'm a wolf, not a dog!" Tianlang retorted with dissatisfaction.

"Jiang Yueying, Li Huan?" Zhan Wushen recognized them and asked in surprise, "What are you following us for?"

"Are you Jiang Yueying, who ranks third on the Heavenly Ranking, and Li Huan, who ranks seventh on the Heavenly Ranking?" Wei Wu asked, looking up and down at the two beauties in front of him.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Li Huan responded nonchalantly.

"This place is a hundred miles away from Zhongzhou City. Are you trying to tell me that this is just a coincidence?" Lin Ding asked coldly with a vigilant look in his eyes.

"We did follow you all the way here." Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueying admitted it generously without making any excuses.

"What's going on?" Lin Ding stared at the two of them, his tone becoming increasingly cold.

Jiang Yueying was about to answer when Li Huan spoke first, "We were collecting herbs in the mountains east of the city when we heard someone shouting loudly. Then we saw two monsters running out. Curious, we came over to take a look. We didn't expect the famous descendant of a divine envoy, a member of the True Dragon bloodline, the fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, and the only Tianji Realm monster outside of Zhongzhou City to be gathered here. This piqued our curiosity and we wanted to see where you were going."

"You guys are really patient. You followed me for an hour and didn't give up." Wei Wu said with a hint of sarcasm.

"We're happy to!" Li Huan made a face at Wei Wu and retorted bluntly.

"We are going to Beizhou to rescue people. Now that you know, please go back." Time was pressing, and Lin Ding had no intention of entangled with them too much. He said directly and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Jiang Yueying called out to Lin Ding, "Team Leader Lin, wait a minute! If you don't mind, I think we can go together. Maybe I can help."
