Lin Fan quickly tossed aside the money issue. If he thought too much about it, it made him feel really bad.
Why did he have to care about such things, wasnt it just a pile of hard and slly dirt?
However, the loss of money did make him feel pain in his heart. He could only take it and swallow it down.
That battle was a loss, he lost so much that he no longer had pants to wear.
The bugman was strong but that didnt matter as it didnt give him rage points or money. Even if it did give so rage points, he would be able to accept the loss.
What a waste.
He didnt even get anything.
Nine Bug Gang, I have given you so many problems, this is considered your win, that you are strong. Lin Fan admitted that Nine Bug Gang was good. He rembered this debt and if he had a chance, he would pay it back in kind.
10 years wasnt too long for a gentleman to take revenge.
He knew that he was not a gentleman, and he would definitely take revenge within a year.
If Nine Bug Gang knew what he was thinking about, they would definitely curse him.
Could he be even more shaless?
He wasnt old but his ability to twist the facts was really good. Who was the one who offended one, one caused more problems?
They conned him? That was just too much
A few days later.
In the forest near to Rong City.
An army appeared.
Zu Xiang was given the title of Loyal Martial Captain and was getting closer to the center of power. But this title wasnt enough, not even close. He had to continue climbing to get to the top, only then could he control the lives of others as well as his own. That was true power.
He knew that doing such tough jobs was really problematic.
But only by doing all these could one gain things. Otherwise, if one only did the easy things, then how would he even get promoted?
Even if he did it, half the credit would be stolen. That didnt matter. Only by making the general rely on him and think about it would he gain the most.
When they arrived on the scene, they were all stunned by what they saw.
There were many weird looking charred corpses. One couldnt recognise who they were from their faces as they had all been burned. Even if their parents ca, they wouldnt be able to recognize them.
How vicious. Zu Xiang frowned. He was thinking about how to approach this. It was nearly impossible to find clues or even find the murderer from this.
He looked around in the burned forest and didnt let anything go.
He ca in front of a sliced tree and touched the cut, slowly he had so idea.
At the sa ti, he noticed the bodies of a few burned animals.
He is an expert. The burns an that it was an instant high heat and it didnt start from a small fla.
Martial Path Expert with strong Internal Strength; his cultivation technique level was high too.
Zu Xiang muttered. He thought about it but was still unable to guess who did it. There were just too few clues for him to piece together a detailed picture.
Not long later, the scout who went ahead to investigate ca back. He said respectfully, Captain, I noticed an abandoned village.
Go, lets go take a look.
Zu Xiang felt like the village would be related to this.
When he reached the village and saw the sorry state it was in, he instantly understood.
Collapsed buildings, doors with footprints, black bloodstains, and the way that the commoners died.
Many scenes appeared in his mind. They were of how the perfectly fine village turned into such a state after the army invaded.
They deserve to die. Zu Xiang frowned. He understood everything, that all of this was done by those soldiers.
King Wutong had given orders not to kill, burn, rob or rape. It seed like this army felt like they were too far to be restricted so they went against it. An expert saw that and took matters into his own hands.
After seeing all these, he acted on behalf of the heavens and killed them all.
They deserved to die.
Captain. A soldier said softly. They respected this Captain and felt like he was courageous and intelligent. Often they solved things based on his intellect without sacrificing a single man or troop.
Eh? Zu Xiang was curious. He looked toward where the soldier pointed and there was a cultivator.
He didnt have eyesight problems. The cultivator wasnt quick but it gave one a feeling like he was just there. He thought that he would take a long ti, but in the blink of an eye, he was in front of them.
Fellow soldiers, I am Qingshan Temple Grade Two disciple Xuan Chengzi, may I know what you all are doing here? Xuan Chengzi said as he held a whisk.
So it is a cultivator from Qingshan Temple, sorry for being rude. Zu Xiang naturally knew about Qingshan Temple. It was a really strong sect, one of the strongest ones. I am Loyal Martial Captain Zu Xiang under King Wutong, an army passed by this place and was killed, so I was ordered to investigate. What about you?
When Xuan Chengzi heard that he was a Captain under King Wutong, his eyes lit up and said, What a coincidence, my Junior Brother was attacked and heavily injured up ahead. It seed like your matter is related to mine.
Then, Xuan Chengzi described the rough situation. Zu Xiang listened intently. It seed like when the guy was about to kill the soldiers, Qingshan Temple Cultivator Yun Youzi saw it. Both sides had a conflict and in the end he was badly injured.
Loyal Martial Captain, that was what happened. My Junior Brother was rciful and wasnt willing to see soldiers die, so he tried to stop it but was attacked. This made heartpained and caused our temple to lose a talented disciple.
Based on what my Junior Brother said, he had a cultivation technique called Mixed Energy Broken Jade Hand, this is a potrait of that person.
Xuan Chengzi took out a potrait from his sleeves.
Zu Xiang took it and when he opened it, at the start he felt that it was unfamiliar. Slowly, it beca more and more familiar.
He thought about it and with his photographic mory, he thought about the people he t in the past.
Very quickly, he locked onto one person.
Seeing that Zu Xiangs expression changed, it was obvious he knew sothing, Loyal Martial Captain, do you know the person?
Zu Xiang thought about it and nodded his head, If I recall, I do know him. He is the You City Lin Family young master, but that shouldnt be the case. Based on what I knew, he should be weak and have no such ability.
Eh? Xuan Chengzi was shocked and then asked, Are you sure you have the right person?
I should be correct. Zu Xiang said.
Xuan Chengzi asked once more, How many Lin Families are there in You City?
Zu Xiang asked, Just one, his na is Lin Fan, he looks 80% the sa as the potrait.
Yun Youzi, as a Second Grade disciple of Qingshan Temple, was really skilled in potrait drawing. He hated Lin Fan, so how could he forget that face?
Xuan Chengzi felt like things were bad and asked once more, Who is his father?
His Father is Lin Wanyi. Zu Xiang said.
Kachi!
When he heard that na, his heart shook, but he still acted like everything was okay, Oh, thank you Loyal Martial Captain, I will take my leave.
Please stay, King Wutong needs talents. With your high cultivation and strength, why not help us and spread the na of Qingshan Temple? Zu Xiang asked.
When Xuan Chengzi heard this, he was shocked.
Thank you, have your respect, but I just want to help the unfortunate and not leave any attachnts in this world. Xuan Chengzi hurried off, not giving Zu Xiang a chance to speak.
Zu Xiang wanted to say a few more words but he left in such a hurry.
Forget it.
Since he knew who the person was, he just had to head back and report it.
As for what would happen to that Lin Family Young master, that wasnt his problem.
In the distance.
Xuan Chengzi was shocked. The guy who trashed his Junior Brother was You City Lin Wanyis son. This thing had nothing to do with him, so even if he reported it, the outco would be the sa.
Other people might not know who Lin Wanyi was, but he lived for 73 years and he obviously knew.
When he was at Grandmaster Realm, he saw that guys shocking strength. When he attacked, the sky changed colors; that was totally unbelievable.
Now even if he knew who did it, what could he do?
Who had the balls to go to You City? Anyway, he wouldnt be that person.
If he really t Lin Wanyis son outside, then he could consider attacking. As for heading to You City, one wouldnt even know how they died.
As for that Loyal Martial Captain Zu Xiang, he shook his head and sighed. He had a short life.
Naturally, he didnt know what was going on with King Wutong.
But the Temple Head said sothing that was fresh in his mind.
Many years ago when King Wutong revolted, a large sect called Fire God Sect revolted too.
Although the Temple Head didnt say things clearly, he revealed it.
From Sect Leader to Elder, all of them disappeared. No one knew where they went or what had happened.
Anyway, their sect directly beca a weak sect. In the end, they were taken over and disappeared into the rivers of history.
As for the reason, the Temple Head didnt say so he didnt know.
If the Temple Head knew that Xuan Chengzi had no idea till now, he would be furious.
He made things so direct, so was he stupid?
People who revolted with King Wutong never ended up well.
Dozens of years passed and had everyone forgotten about what happened?
To the Temple Head, such actions were just lowly and despicable.
