"I dealt with these bandits with Wenhan!" At this moment, a voice came from the direction where Han Feicheng and the others left.
It was Wei Zhongyuan who had returned.
"I see." Hearing Wei Zhongyuan's words, everyone couldn't help but nod.
"When I rushed over just now, I discovered these bandits. Although I'm a third-rank beast, it wasn't easy to stop these people. Fortunately, Wenhan rushed out to help me and knocked out the bandit leader at the crucial moment. Otherwise, he might have escaped!" Wei Zhongyuan said again.
"Then Young Master has really made a great contribution!" The others couldn't help but say.
At this moment, the city lord and the others also came over.
Seeing that the bandit leader was caught, the city lord couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. If he let the leader escape, he would lose face as the city lord.
Noticing Wei Wenhan at the side, he couldn't help but frown. "Wenhan, why didn't you stay inside obediently?"
"City lord, you've wronged Young Master. Young Master came out to help. If it wasn't for him, the bandit leader would probably have escaped," the surrounding people said.
"Indeed …" Wei Zhongyuan also nodded, then repeated what he had just said to the city lord and the others.
Although he felt that the matter was a little strange, the city lord didn't pursue the matter. Just as Wei Zhongyuan said, he didn't want Wei Wenhan to stay in the dungeon forever. In his opinion, it was enough to let Wei Wenhan suffer and realize his mistake.
"City lord, Young Master Wei has made a great contribution, so I feel that the merits offset the demerits. It should be time to release Young Master Wei," someone hurriedly said at this moment.
"I also feel that Wenhan's merits offset the demerits." Wei Zhongyuan also said.
"Yes, the merits can offset the demerits." The others also chimed in.
"In that case, Wenhan, you don't have to stay in the dungeon anymore. However, I hope that you take this as a warning and don't make the same mistake again. Otherwise, I won't let you off so easily!" The city lord said in a deep voice.
"Father, don't worry. I will definitely not make such a mistake again. I will definitely treat second aunt like my own mother!" Wei Wenhan hurriedly promised.
Of course, that was just what he said. Once there was a suitable opportunity, he would definitely not show mercy.
"That's good." Looking at Wei Wenhan's sincere look, the mayor nodded in relief.
After that, the mayor ordered his men to clean up the scene and count the number of people in the dungeon. Soon, they found that apart from the dead and injured bandits, two people were missing in the dungeon. They were Han Feicheng and Zhang Lei.
"Wenhan, what's going on? Where did the two of them go?" The City Lord couldn't help but look at Wei Wenhan.
Han Feicheng and Zhang Lei's cell was right next to Wei Wenhan's, so the City Lord asked Wei Wenhan.
"I don't know. When I came out, they were still inside." Wei Wenhan shook his head.
"Is that so?" Frowning, Wei Wenhan did not continue asking.
Just like that, this matter came to an end. Other than those bandits who died, the rest were all captured. However, because Wei Zhongyuan had sent people to contact them secretly, they didn't know that it was Wei Zhongyuan's doing.
Because in this way, they could not point out that this matter was secretly planned by Wei Zhongyuan.
The next day, this matter quickly spread throughout Shuangquan City. Zheng Le also told Linlong and the others about this matter.
"Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Just as the bandits were captured, someone came to rescue them. Furthermore, Wei Wenhan made a great contribution by capturing the bandit boss." Hearing Zheng Le's words, someone couldn't help but frown.
"Is there even a need to think about it? This is definitely planned by Wei Wenhan's people. They want Wei Wenhan to make up for his mistakes." Another person couldn't help but say.
"That's right. This is very likely." Zheng Le nodded, then said, "However, Wei Wenhan is the mayor's son after all. So, this matter couldn't be any more normal."
Since Wei Wenhan had already come out, he would once again ally with the Zhang family to deal with him. If there was even more powerful people behind them, then they might even deal with Senior Zheng Le. Linlong thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Linlong immediately asked, "Second senior, is there anyone more powerful in the city that is helping Wei Wenhan?"
"There is one person. That person is Wei Wenhan's second uncle. Other than being the mayor's blood brother, he also has some power. There are even two families in the city that listen to his orders." Someone said the moment Linlong's words fell.
"That's right. This person is called Wei Zhongyuan." Zheng Le also said.
"Is that so." Linlong nodded.
"Now that Junior Lin has asked this question, I feel that this matter is very likely to be secretly planned by Wei Zhongyuan." Someone else said.
"It is indeed possible. After all, only Wei Zhongyuan has the ability to do this." Another person said.
"There is indeed such a possibility. However, you guys only need to discuss this matter quietly. Do not say this outside!" Zheng Le hurriedly warned.
"Don't worry, Second senior. We know what is more important." The people beside him couldn't help but laugh.
"How strong is Wei Zhongyuan?" Linlong asked again.
"He should be a rank 3 beast practitioner. As for how strong he is, I'm not too sure." Zheng Le said.
"Oh." Linlong nodded.
Subsequently, another three days passed. During these three days, nothing happened, and the entire Twin Springs City was the same.
However, a smile appeared on Linlong's face. This was because he already had a deeper understanding of this world's alchemy. With his current ability, he should be able to refine the White Lotus Pill.
With regards to Linlong's improvement, Master Ling and Zheng Le could only use the word 'shocking' to describe it.
On this day, Linlong found a quiet place where no one could disturb him and began to refine the White Lotus Pill. He didn't intend to tell Master Ling and Zheng Le. After all, this White Lotus Pill was not an ordinary pill.
After spending more than an hour, a pill was condensed in the medicinal cauldron.
Picking up the pill, Linlong carefully looked at it. The smile on his face became even wider. This was because this pill was obviously a successfully refined White Lotus Pill.
Soon after, Linlong directly swallowed the White Lotus Pill.
Once the White Lotus Pill entered his stomach, a fiery energy began to circulate chaotically in his body.
Linlong hurriedly circulated his cultivation method. After circulating the cultivation method in his body for a few cycles, the White Lotus Pill's medicinal power was completely absorbed by him.
After this, he suddenly felt that the cyclone above his dantian had become more stable. Not only that, the energy in his body had also become more vigorous.
Needless to say, his realm had already broken through to the third grade beast warrior.
This White Lotus Pill was really useful. Linlong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If it wasn't for it, Linlong would probably have to spend one or two years.
He didn't know if he could circulate the Dantian Record now. With this thought, Linlong immediately gave it a try.
After a while, a trace of a smile appeared on his face. This was because he could once again use the Dantian Record's ability to conceal his aura. With this ability, it would be much easier for him to encounter some things in the future.
However, he could only activate the Dantian Record's ability. He couldn't activate the other abilities at all.
Although the purpose of coming to Twin Springs City had been achieved, Linlong didn't leave immediately. It wasn't because he wanted to continue learning alchemy, but because he wanted to increase his strength as much as possible. After all, he still had the Black Blood Fruit that could rapidly increase his strength.
Linlong immediately consumed a Dark Blood Fruit. Two days later, his strength had risen to the second layer of a third-grade beast.
Obviously, at the third grade beast warrior stage, the Black Blood Fruit's ability to increase one's strength decreased significantly.
After the first Black Blood Fruit's medicinal effect disappeared, Linlong continued to consume another Black Blood Fruit.
After another two days, Linlong's strength increased to the fourth grade beast warrior.
On the morning after Linlong consumed another Black Blood Fruit, someone from the city lord's mansion suddenly came to look for Linlong. Moreover, he specifically asked to see Linlong before telling him about the matter.
Although it was strange, Zheng Le didn't ask what was going on. Instead, he brought the person to Linlong.
Linlong had seen this person beside the city lord before. He should be the city lord's trusted aide.
"What's the matter?" Linlong looked at the other party and asked in confusion.
"Can we find another place?" The person asked when he saw that Zheng Le was also beside him.
Linlong immediately brought him to the house at the side.
After entering the house, the person took out a piece of paper and passed it to Linlong. "Young Master Lin, you will know after reading it."
Linlong's expression changed when he took the paper. It was a notice from the Crimson Phoenix Sect, Core Yang Sect, and Heavenly Silkworm Sect to capture him.
Furthermore, it was written that whoever found Linlong and informed any of the sects would be rewarded by the three great sects.
In order to catch him, the three great sects had actually joined forces, which was quite surprising to him.
However, he felt relieved when he thought about it. After all, he killed the genius disciples of the three sects. Not only that, but he also snatched the Black Blood Fruit, White Lotus Fruit, and so on.
Apart from these words, there was also a portrait of Linlong. It was obvious that the city lord sent this person to look for him with this notice.
"Second Madam was saved because of you, Young Master Lin. That's why the city lord didn't report your whereabouts to the three sects. Instead, he immediately sent me to see you after receiving this notice," the person said.
"Thank you, City Lord." Linlong nodded and asked, "Where did you get this notice from?"
"Two people from the Heavenly Silkworm Sect and Crimson Phoenix Sect brought it over. They are currently in the city lord's residence. Apart from this, there are many more. They asked us to put them up in various places in the city so that we can find you as soon as possible. However, after realizing that the person on the notice looks extremely similar to you, the city lord asked me to look for you first, "the person said.
"Is that so?" Linlong couldn't help but furrow his brows.
It was obvious that he had to leave immediately. Otherwise, once these notices were put up, he would definitely become the target of everyone.
"I will leave Twin Springs City immediately," Linlong said immediately.
"Then please be careful, Young Master. I will take my leave first," the person said before turning to leave.
After the person left, Zheng Le came over and asked with concern, "Junior Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Because the second madam's rescue is related to me, the city lord asked me to pay a visit to the city lord's residence," Linlong said with a smile.
"It's good that you're fine," Zheng Le couldn't help but say.
"The city lord wants me to go over now, so I'll go over directly," Linlong said.
"Okay. Junior Brother, go ahead." Zheng Le nodded and didn't suspect anything.
Linlong first returned to his room and wrote a letter. He then handed it to a trustworthy disciple and asked him to pass it to Zheng Le after some time.
Although that disciple was curious about what Linlong wrote, he didn't ask Linlong for the reason.
After doing that, Linlong immediately left the courtyard. He originally wanted to inform Yang Lu, but due to time constraints, he gave up on that idea.
After leaving the courtyard, Linlong immediately headed out of the city. After taking a few steps, he furrowed his brows because he realized that someone was following him closely. Moreover, it was clearly a third-grade beast cultivator.
Are they from the Crimson Phoenix Sect and Heavenly Silkworm Sect? Linlong guessed in his heart.
However, he immediately rejected this guess because if it was someone from those two sects, they would have already asked the people from the city lord's residence to help deal with him.
Since that wasn't the case, it should be someone from the Zhang Family or Wei Wenhan's side who wanted to deal with him.
With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately quickened his steps.
Linlong's guess was right. The third-grade beast cultivator following behind him was a subordinate of Wei Wenhan's second uncle, Wei Zhongyuan, who wanted to deal with Linlong.
This person had been waiting outside Master Ling's courtyard for many days. Today, he finally saw Linlong leave the courtyard.
Apart from following him, he also immediately sent someone to pass this information to Wei Zhongyuan.
Very quickly, Wei Zhongyuan received the news.
"That Lin Li seems to be heading out of the city!" That person who came to deliver the news said to Wei Zhongyuan.
Knowing that this was a good opportunity, Wei Zhongyuan's eyes naturally lit up.
Wei Wenhan happened to be beside him. When he heard this news, he immediately said, "Second Uncle, I want to personally capture that Lin Li!"
"Sure, I'll ask you to bring a few people and follow him." Wei Zhongyuan nodded.
Then, he picked five people and asked them to follow Wei Wenhan in the direction that Linlong left.
Among these five people, there was even a third-grade beast cultivator. Although Wei Wenhan said that Linlong was only a second-grade beast, Wei Zhongyuan still let this third-grade beast follow him just in case.
Including the third-grade beast who followed the first person, there were two third-grade beasts in total. This way, it was a matter of course to capture Linlong.
Wei Zhongyuan was very cautious. If it were Wei Wenhan, he wouldn't bring a third-grade beast cultivator along.
After bringing these people along, Wei Wenhan immediately chased in the direction that Linlong left.
Lin Li, you're finished! Wei Wenhan sneered in his heart.
He was even thinking about how to torture Linlong later.
