Yellow Crane Tavern.
Perhaps it was no longer known to the public, but many of the older generation still remembered its glory.
This was once the most prosperous place in the city.
That was because, fifty kilometers away from here, there was the Black Devil Mountain Range that countless ordinary people viewed as a dangerous area.
The Black Devil Mountain Range was a paradise for adventurers and mercenaries.
Although there were fatal dangers in the mountain range, the huge profits attracted many people.
This Yellow Crane Tavern was built by the number one expert of Xuan Yun City, Old Master Lin, Lin Huarong. Therefore, this place was once the most lively place in Xuan Yun City.
However, after Old Master Lin fell ill, this tavern declined and never opened its doors again.
Creak.
Accompanied by the creaking sound of the two wooden doors, Qin Yichen entered in a flash.
Looking at the messy tables and chairs, as well as the cobweb-covered tavern, he frowned. After looking around, he called out tentatively, "Is anyone here?"
In the tavern, there was only the echo of his voice and the creaking sound of the cold wind passing through the wooden doors. No one responded.
After calling out twice more, there was still no response.
"Did Uncle Lin remember wrongly?"
Qin Yichen's eyes flashed with doubt.
Just as he was about to leave, the sound of a table being slammed came from upstairs.
"Noisy, noisy, what are you making so much noise for? Can you bear the responsibility for disturbing my sleep?!"
A rough scolding voice came from upstairs, followed by the sound of a chair being kicked away.
A moment later, a burly figure walked out from the room upstairs where even the door had been kicked open.
"Cough, cough, I am Qin Yichen …"
Qin Yichen coughed dryly and cupped his fists in greeting.
However, before he could finish speaking, a black shadow whizzed towards him.
"Hey, don't attack, I have something to talk to you about!"
Fortunately, his Mental Energy was not weak and he had condensed his Martial Jewel. He immediately stepped on the ground and dodged.
"Bang!"
Following the sound of something breaking through the air, it stirred up a cloud of dust. Amidst the dust, one could vaguely see the leg of a chair deeply embedded in the ground where Qin Yichen had been standing.
"How ruthless."
The corner of Qin Yichen's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he stared at the stool that had sunk two inches into the ground.
If he hadn't dodged that attack just now, there would definitely be a bloody hole in his body.
"Eh?"
Swoosh! Swish! "
Before Qin Yichen could catch his breath, two more sonic booms rang out, causing his heart to go numb as he hurriedly dodged.
"Black Ghost, stop! Lin Aotian invited me to treat Elder Lin's injuries."
While dodging, Qin Yichen finally couldn't help but shout.
If this continued, he would definitely be played to death by this fellow!
"Shua!"
Just as Qin Yichen finished speaking, he felt a whiff of alcohol assaulting his nostrils. In the blink of an eye, a muscular arm was already placed on his shoulder.
Turning his head, he saw a burly figure appear in front of him.
"This person is definitely not inferior to Li Yuanba!"
A thought flashed across Qin Yichen's mind. He didn't doubt that the arm on his shoulder could turn into a deadly knife at any time.
"Kid, what did you just say?"
The burly figure opened his mouth. His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Qin Yichen slowly shifted his gaze to the burly man's face. The latter was currently staring at him with a pair of scarlet eyes. From the looks of it, if Qin Yichen were to speak carelessly, the burly man would not hesitate to kill him.
"Black Ghost, do you still recognize this item?"
Qin Yichen sighed in his heart. Although this burly man's cultivation was not bad, he had been drinking for a long time. Qin Yichen didn't dare to beat around the bush and directly took out the jade pendant that Lin Aotian gave him.
"Shua!"
Just as he took out the jade pendant, it was snatched away by the burly man.
"This jade pendant … is my gift to Aotian for his tenth birthday!"
Seeing the jade pendant, the burly man's eyes flashed with excitement. Immediately, his face darkened. The hand on Qin Yichen's shoulder flipped over and directly grabbed Qin Yichen's neck. In a deep voice, he asked, "Where did you get this jade pendant? Where is Aotian?!"
"I … Motherf * cker …"
Under the burly arm that reeked of alcohol, Qin Yichen felt as if his neck was being clamped by a pair of iron pincers. Even breathing became difficult and his face turned red.
"Let … me … go!"
Qin Yichen grabbed the burly man's arm with both hands and tried to pry it open. However, he realized that the arm was like an iron pillar. With his strength, he couldn't move it at all.
He had just condensed his Martial Jewels and was only a Martial Warrior. Although he cultivated the Spirit Body Technique and his body was much stronger than other Martial Grandmasters of the same level, compared to this Martial Grandmaster in front of him, the gap between them was not small.
"F * ck, I've been famous all my life. If I were to die at the hands of a black ghost like you, that would be too unjust!"
Qin Yichen couldn't help but curse in his heart. Then, with a thought, a ray of Mental Energy pierced towards the black ghost's eyes. However, he controlled his strength and didn't blind the black ghost's eyes.
"Hmm?"
Under the attack of the Mental Energy, the black ghost only felt pain in his eyes. In this moment of carelessness, Qin Yichen's body leaned back and escaped from the black ghost's arm.
"Cough cough, I already said that I was invited to save Old Master Lin. You black ghost, cough cough …"
After retreating a distance, Qin Yichen touched his neck that was clearly red from the strangulation and coughed dryly a few times.
If Lin Aotian hadn't said that he was here to find this person who had a life and death relationship with Old Master Lin so that he could sneak into the Lin Family, he wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place.
However, if he could get this guy's help, this trip would be worth it.
After the black ghost rubbed his eyes, he didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he stood in place and narrowed his eyes as he stared at Qin Yichen. It was as if he was waiting for him to explain everything.
"You can imagine that if something had happened to Lin Aotian, why would he give me this token and ask me to come to this place to find you?"
Qin Yichen rolled his eyes at him.
"You mean … Aotian is still alive?"
Hearing this, a sincere look of surprise flashed across the black ghost's eyes. He stepped forward and asked, "Where is he? Take me to him!"
"Stop!"
Seeing that he was about to pounce on him again, Qin Yichen jumped a distance away. After seeing that he had calmed down a little, he said, "Uncle Lin is in the Li Mansion in the city. However, Lin Aoqing already knows where he is. If you go … you will probably be stopped by Lin Aoqing's people."
"Hmph, do you think those useless soldiers and crab generals can stop me?!"
The black ghost snorted coldly. A great aura burst out from his body and swept away his previous decadence.
"Those people can't stop you. However, do you think that after you have seen Uncle Lin, Lin Aoqing will still let you in and out of the Lin Family? Will he still let you see Old Master Lin? "
Qin Yichen felt a headache coming on.
Why did this guy's IQ seem to be lower than Li Yuanba's?
"You're right. The Lin Family now … is no longer the Lin Family of the past."
The black ghost sighed. His eyes revealed a touch of sorrow.
Back then, in Xuanyun City …
