Lin Feng was stunned.
Suddenly …
Bam! A watery light flashed across Bing Yun's right hand.
In an instant, the Broken Hermit was crushed to pieces. The so-called "irrefutable evidence" disappeared forever. Lin Feng's eyes widened. He looked at Bing Yun, a little confused. He didn't know what this high-ranking Inspector meant.
"Remember, you owe me a favor." Bing Yun's voice was clear, and her beautiful eyes flashed.
Without saying another word, Bing Yun turned around and left, leaving behind only a faint fragrance. Lin Feng was completely dumbfounded.
She just wanted a favor from him?
Lin Feng still couldn't understand. If it were someone else, it would be fine.
But Bing Yun was an Inspector, a person above everyone else in Shiluo County. What couldn't she get?
What was the use of asking him for a favor?
"How strange." Lin Feng shook his head, speechless.
But then he laughed and threw this to the back of his mind.
No matter what, after going around in circles, the matter of Hong Jiang's assassination had finally been 'perfectly' resolved.
…
In the night sky.
Bing Yun flew, her expression indifferent.
The so-called "Holy Law" was set by a Saint, not an imperial edict. Countless cultivators died in Shiluo County every day. It didn't matter if one more or one less. She could have ignored this kind of thing. After all, it wasn't her duty. So what if she turned a blind eye?
If it were someone else, she would have arrested them with Hong Yi's help. But Lin Feng …
He had a deep relationship with her master.
Moreover, Lin Feng had saved her life. She couldn't be ungrateful.
Asking for a favor was just pushing the boat with the current. Just as Lin Feng guessed, with Bing Yun's status, what couldn't she have? A favor from a Star Sector-level cultivator was useless. But it was different if it was a Saint. A favor from a Saint was priceless.
"Since Master thinks so highly of this little guy, he should have a 30 to 40 percent chance of becoming a Saint in the future.
With this favor, perhaps there will be unexpected gains in the future. "
Bing Yun smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.
To her, this was like an 'investment'.
Right now, Lin Feng's favor was worthless, but in the future …
No one could say for sure.
…
Lin clan.
"Hermit Breaker?!" Lin Zhen fell into deep thought. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and his face turned ugly. "Crap, how could I have forgotten about this!"
"Everyone has moments of carelessness." Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, he was also careless. Previously, Hong Jiang had already discovered that his infiltration was very 'strange', but he did not take it to heart. In the end, when he killed Hong Jiang, he panicked because of FrozenCloud's arrival and didn't carefully check the things Hong Jiang left behind after his death.
Clearly, he had made a huge mistake.
"If it was Ceng Ren, he definitely wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake." Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
He still remembered the young man who had fought with him in the Wizard of Oz. He was cold-blooded and ruthless, and his whereabouts were mysterious. He was definitely a top-notch assassin.
On the path of assassination, strength was important, but there were many details that couldn't be ignored.
"Lin Feng, are you saying that the Patrol Envoy helped me deal with the aftermath, and then personally destroyed this' Hermit Breaker 'in front of you just to ask for a favor?" Lin Zhen was a little stunned.
"That's right, foster father." Lin Feng nodded.
He didn't understand this point either.
Lin Zhen laughed heartily. "You really have a lot of face. Even the Patrol Envoy is asking for a favor from you."
Lin Feng shrugged and said helplessly, "I also don't know what the Patrol Envoy is up to." After a pause, Lin Feng's eyes lit up slightly. "But no matter what, foster father, this matter has finally come to an end. As long as we can get through the next month, Hong Jiang's matter will basically come to an end."
Lin Zhen nodded. "Even so, Lam Tok Tei definitely won't let this matter go."
Lin Feng frowned and said seriously, "If we don't get rid of this person, he'll be like a maggot attached to the bones. I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace."
"But he's cunning and sinister by nature. It won't be easy to get rid of him." Lin Zhen sighed. "He'll definitely make a big fuss about your identity. Right now, we're in the light, and he's in the dark. The situation is very unfavorable. No one can guess what his next step will be."
Lin Feng nodded. "At least now that we've cut off this path of his, we should be able to have some peace for a while."
"That's true." Lin Zhen suddenly smiled. "It's useless to think so much. Who cares about him! We'll deal with whatever comes our way. What's there to be afraid of! "
Lin Feng smiled. "I'm guessing that he's fuming with anger right now."
Lin Zhen couldn't stop laughing. "I guess so too."
…
"Damn it!"
"I'm so angry!"
"Lin Zhen, Lin Feng, these two bastards!!!"
In the basement, there was a series of crackling sounds. Many expensive porcelain and jade stones were smashed to pieces. Lam Tok Tei's face was ashen, and he was so angry that his whole body trembled. If he lost to Lin Feng last time because he was unlucky, then this time, he was completely defeated!
His scheme had been completely broken!
"Don't think you can get away with this."
"It won't be that easy to defeat me, Lam Tok Tei!"
Lam Tok Tei clenched his fists, and his veins popped. His expression was extremely cold.
Cold killing intent flashed in his starry eyes. His ugly face was twisted and ferocious.
"You won't be happy for long."
"Next time, I'll make you suffer a crushing defeat!"
"Just you wait!!!"
…
…
Shiluo County. Earthquake.
The death of the third leader of the Hongyi Gang, the honorary elder of the Star Talisman Master Alliance, shocked everyone.
In fact, in Shiluo County, there were martial artists "disappearing" all the time. They were either killed or expelled because they couldn't afford to pay the huge taxes. However, no one paid attention to these because they lacked a kind of "reputation." But Hong Jiang was different.
His identity was enough to attract attention!
Especially the Star Talisman Master Alliance. The death of their honorary elder was not much less of a blow to them than the Hongyi Gang.
This was a slap in the face! For a time, the Star Talisman Master Alliance was in a state of panic. As for the Hongyi Gang, their reputation fell to the bottom overnight. How shameful it was to be assassinated in one's own residence in the gang's base!
However, there was no evidence left.
The Star Talisman Master Alliance cast a wide net and carefully analyzed everyone who had been in contact with Hong Jiang. They even went back to a few years ago.
However, how could it be so easy to find the murderer?
After all, it was Lin Feng's first time seeing Hong Jiang.
As for the motive, few people knew. The only one who knew was Lam Tok Tei. However, what was the use of reporting Lin Feng? Did he have evidence? Without evidence, no one would believe him. If Lin Feng accused him of using the Star Talisman Master Alliance to avenge a private grudge, he would be the unlucky one.
…
At this time, Lin Feng was happy and content.
As the days passed, his assurance of safety increased day by day.
"In a few days, it will be a month."
"If we still can't find the murderer a month ago, I'm ninety percent safe."
Lin Feng pondered and didn't care too much.
The only evidence had been destroyed by the Patrol Inspector Bingyun.
Other than Lam Tok Tei, he had no fear. No matter how powerful the Star Talisman Master Alliance was, they wouldn't think it was him. There were still two months before the fourth round of the preliminaries. He hadn't returned to the Tianwu Continent yet. Now was not the right time.
Moreover, after the four rounds of the preliminaries were over, the 1,000 people from Shiluo County would be selected to participate in the main competition. At that time, there would be a one-year break.
He had enough time to cultivate and break through. He wasn't in a hurry.
Most importantly, breaking through to the Star Sector-level was …
Was it important?
"I've basically mastered the comprehension and application of a domain in this month."
"The Vast Star Pupil and the Vast Star Pupil have also completely stabilized at the third level. In my current state, they are powerful enough."
"Whether it's my body, star power, or even the control of a domain, I'm better than ordinary Star Sector-level experts."
Lin Feng's eyes were burning with confidence.
Now that he met Lam Tok Tei again, it wouldn't be like the last time.
With his current strength, he was fully confident that he could defeat him!
"But I still have to be careful." Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart.
This feeling was very uncomfortable. It was as if there was an invisible enemy behind him.
Who knew when the enemy would appear and stab him. By then, it would be too late to think of a way to save him.
"Lure the snake out of its hole?"
"Search the entire Shiluo County?"
"Or …"
Lin Feng frowned, feeling very troubled. Lam Tok Tei wasn't so easy to deal with. Although he had broken his trap this time, it was just a fluke. He couldn't do it again. In terms of schemes and shrewdness, he was no match for Lam Tok Tei.
"Godfather is also at his wit's end."
"A Zhong, he …" Lin Feng shook his head.
Although he trusted Butler Guan Zhong very much, he didn't want to drag him down with this family matter.
"Maybe I can discuss it with Yumo."
"With her intelligence, she might be able to give me some inspiration."
Lin Feng nodded and smiled.
Ever since Yumo saved him last time, their relationship had become much more honest.
Most of the time, a relationship started from a "misunderstanding." Moreover, they were engaged before they were born. Because of this marriage, Yumo's family was destroyed and she lost everything. If he still wanted to hurt her, then he really wasn't a man.
…
Yumo's residence.
"Hmm? Yumo isn't here? "Lin Feng sneered.
"Yes, Young Master Lin Feng." Butler Wu smiled respectfully. "My Young Mistress is in seclusion with Master Lin Yan."
"Master Lin Yan?" Lin Feng was slightly confused. There were still two months before the fourth round of the preliminaries. Yumo wasn't improving his strength but cultivating the Artifact Refining Dao instead?
It was simply too inconceivable.
"Young Master, there's something you don't know." Butler Wu said seriously, "Young Mistress's opponent in the fourth round is the Holy Daughter of the Xi Nan District's Qi Luo Immortal Sect, Ju Ru Meng. She didn't participate in the first three rounds of the preliminaries and is now a fifth-stage Cosmic Sector-level. Young Mistress might not be her match even if she cultivates for another three years, much less three months. "
"The Holy Daughter of the Qi Luo Immortal Sect, Ju Ru Meng?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
He knew a little about the Holy Daughter of the Qi Luo Immortal Sect. She had appeared in the information when he was investigating Hong Kuang.
Her name seemed to be —
Ju Ru Meng!
