Lin Fan quickly tossed the loss of wealth to the back of his head. If he thought too much, it would make him feel really bad.
Why did he have to care about all this, wasn't it just a pile of smelly and hard dirt?
However, he lost so much wealth, it would be a lie if he said that his heart didn't hurt. He could only swallow it down.
This battle was a loss, such a loss that he even lost his underwear.
The Bugman was really strong, but no matter how strong he was, it was useless. He had no rage points and no wealth. If he could be given some rage points or wealth, he could accept this loss.
What a waste.
He didn't even have a single hair.
"Nine Bug Gang, you are amazing. I gave you so much trouble, and now that you conned me, you are amazing." Lin Fan admitted that Nine Bug Gang was amazing. He would remember this, and if he had a chance in the future, he would pay them back.
Ten years wasn't too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
He knew that he wasn't a gentleman, so he would definitely take revenge within a year.
If Nine Bug Gang knew what Lin Fan was thinking, they would curse him.
'Can't you have some f * cking shame?
He was so young, but his ability to distort black and white was not bad. Who offended who, who brought more trouble to who, didn't he know?
He conned him? That was just too much.
A few days later.
In the forest far from Rong City.
A bunch of troops appeared.
Zu Xiang was made a Loyal Martial Captain and was slowly getting closer to the center of power. But his current position wasn't enough, not at all. He wanted to climb higher, to climb to the highest, to be able to control his own life and death, to be able to control the life and death of others. That was true power.
He knew that it was a problematic thing to take on such tasks.
But only through trouble could he gain more. If not, why would he be able to do such easy things?
Even if the general took most of the credit for completing this, it didn't matter. As long as the general relied on him, he would think of him for everything. That was the biggest gain.
At this moment, when they arrived and saw the scenes, they were all stunned like they didn't dare to believe it.
There were many weird postures, black corpses piled up. One couldn't tell who they were from their faces. Even if their parents came, they wouldn't be able to recognize them.
"Such ruthless methods." Zu Xiang frowned and thought about where to start. It was impossible to find clues and find the culprit from here.
He walked through the burnt forest and looked carefully, not letting go of a single spot.
He came to a giant tree that had been chopped off and burnt. He touched the cut with his finger and gradually came up with an idea.
At the same time, they found many charred corpses of livestock.
"The opponent is an expert, and looking at these signs of burning, it doesn't look like it's slowly burning from a weak fire to a strong fire, but more like it's an instantaneous eruption of extremely high temperature."
"The inner force of a martial arts expert is very strong, and the level of their cultivation method is very high."
Zu Xiang muttered. His brain worked quickly but he still couldn't think of who did it. There were too few clues and he couldn't think of a specific picture at all.
Not long after.
The soldier who went ahead to scout came back and said respectfully, "Commandant, we found a dilapidated village up ahead."
"Let's go take a look."
Zu Xiang felt that the village had something to do with this.
When he arrived at the village and saw the tragic state it was in, he instantly understood.
The collapsed houses, the doors with footprints, the blood stains that slowly turned black, and also the corpses of the commoners that fell to the ground.
Images appeared in his mind. These images were of the village that was as good as before, and the scenes that happened when the army invaded.
"They deserve to die." Zu Xiang frowned. He understood everything. These were all done by the soldiers of the army.
King Wutong ordered that they weren't allowed to loot and burn. It seemed like this army was too arrogant and lawless. In the end, an expert passed by and saw such a heinous thing. He acted on behalf of the heavens and killed all of them.
They deserved to die.
"Commandant." The soldiers at the side whispered. They admired the Master Commandant very much. They felt that the Master Commandant was an intelligent and courageous person. Many times, they relied on the Master Commandant's intelligence to complete the mission without sacrificing a single soldier. Therefore, they admired him very much.
"Eh?" Zu Xiang was confused. He looked in the direction that the soldier pointed at and noticed that a priest was walking over.
He wasn't a blind person. The traveling Daoist priest walking over from afar didn't move very fast, but he gave off a feeling that he would disappear in the blink of an eye. He thought it would take a long time, but in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of them.
"Sir, I am Qingshan Temple Grade Two disciple Xuan Chengzi. Why are you all here?" Xuan Chengzi held his horsetail whisk and asked.
"So it is Qingshan Temple Priest, sorry for the disrespect." Zu Xiang naturally knew about Qingshan Temple. This was a really strong sect and was one of the big sects, "I am King Wutong's loyal martial commandant Zu Xiang. A few days ago, a group of soldiers passed by and were killed. I received orders to investigate the situation. Who are you?"
When Xuan Chengzi heard that he was a military officer under King Wutong, his eyes lit up. He said, "What a coincidence, my Junior Brother was ambushed a few days ago and was heavily injured. Speaking of which, the matter that Loyal Martial Military Officer wants to investigate probably has something to do with my Junior Brother."
Xuan Chengzi then roughly described the situation. Zu Xiang listened seriously. It seemed like when he killed the soldiers, Qingshan Temple's Yun Youzi bumped into him. The two of them clashed and in the end, Yun Youzi was heavily injured and had to leave.
"This is what happened to the Loyal Martial Commandant. My Junior Brother was kind and didn't want to see the monks being killed. He spoke out to stop them but was ambushed. This really pained us and caused the Daoist temple to lose a talented disciple. Thus, we were ordered to come and investigate."
"According to my Junior Brother, the scoundrel used a cultivation technique called Mixed Energy Broken Jade Hand, and this is the scoundrel's portrait."
Xuan Chengzi took out a portrait from his sleeves.
Zu Xiang took it and opened it. At the start, he felt that it was a little foreign, but slowly, he realized that the person was familiar.
Thinking about it, with his photographic memory, he directly recalled the people he had seen before.
Very quickly.
There was only one person in his mind.
Xuan Chengzi saw Zu Xiang's expression change and knew something, "Loyal Martial Commandant, do you recognize the person in the portrait?"
Zu Xiang thought about it and then nodded his head, "Eh, if I remember correctly, I do. He is the You City Lin Family Young Master. That shouldn't be the case. Based on what I know, he is a playboy and his cultivation is weak. He shouldn't have the ability."
"Eh?" Xuan Chengzi found it weird and then asked, "Loyal Martial Commandant, are you sure you are right?"
"I shouldn't be wrong." Zu Xiang said.
Xuan Chengzi asked, "How many Lin Families are there in You City?"
Zu Xiang said, "There is only one Lin Family. His name is Lin Fan, he is 80% similar to the portrait."
As a Grade Two disciple of Qingshan Temple, Yun Youzi was skilled in painting and calligraphy. He hated Lin Fan so much, so how could he not remember that face?
Xuan Chengzi had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked again, "Who is his father?"
"His father is Lin Wanyi." Zu Xiang said.
Kachi!
When Xuan Chengzi heard this name, his heart fiercely trembled. However, he still acted as if nothing had happened and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Many thanks for the information, Loyal Martial Commandant.
"Priest, please stop. King Wutong needs people. Priest's realm is high and you are strong. Although you aren't tempted by mortal things, why don't you follow the dragon and help Qingshan Temple become more famous?" Zu Xiang asked.
When Xuan Chengzi heard that, he was shocked.
"Thank you for your love, but I just want to pursue the Dao and don't want to be tied down by worldly matters. Goodbye." Xuan Chengzi left in a hurry and didn't give Zu Xiang a chance to speak at all.
Zu Xiang wanted to say a few more words to Xuan Chengzi, but he didn't expect him to leave in such a hurry.
Forget it.
Since he knew who it was, he just had to report back.
As for what would happen to the You City Lin Family Young Master, that wasn't something he cared about.
In the distance.
Xuan Chengzi's face was filled with shock. The one who trashed his Junior Brother was Lin Wanyi's son, so there was nothing to talk about. It had nothing to do with him. Even if he went back and told the Dao Head, the outcome would be the same.
Other people might not know who Lin Wanyi was, but he had lived for 73 years, so how could he not know who Lin Wanyi was?
When he was still at Grandmaster Realm, he saw that shocking aura from afar. When he attacked, heaven and earth changed colors. That wasn't something that humans could compare to.
Now, even if he knew who did it, so what?
Whoever had balls would head to You City. Anyways, he wouldn't go.
If he really met Lin Wanyi's son outside, then he could attack. As for finding him, forget about it. He wouldn't even know how he died.
As for that Loyal Martial Commander Zu Xiang, he shook his head and sighed. He didn't have long to live.
Naturally, he didn't know what was going on with King Wutong.
However, the Daoist had once said something that was still fresh in his memory.
Many years ago, when King Wutong rebelled, Fire God Sect rebelled along with him.
Although the Dao Head didn't say it in detail, he did reveal it.
From the Sect Leader to the Elders, they all disappeared in a night. No one knew where they went and no one knew what happened.
Anyway, Fire God Sect fell from being a big sect to a weak one. In the end, other sects invaded them and they disappeared in the river of history.
As for why, the Dao Head didn't explain, so he didn't know.
If the Dao Head knew that Xuan Chengzi didn't know until now, he would probably be furious.
How could you say it so bluntly? Are you a fool or an idiot?
Looking at the people who rebelled with King Wutong, how many of them ended up well?
After a dozen years, did they all forget what happened?
To the Dao Head, such actions were despicable.
