When Lin Huang and Lin Xin returned to the hotel, it was already past 10 pm. Feng Zhuoran stayed in the same hotel as well and his room was just next door. However, Lin Huang did not notice him at all.
Lin Xin went to bed early in the morning when they returned to their room. Lin Huang, on the other hand, was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep.
"The killing intent was indeed directed at me, it was not an illusion. But why did it disappear? Could it be that someone killed them? " Lin Huang could not figure out what had happened. He was close to the truth but he could not figure out that it was related to Leng Yuexin who was in Division 3.
After getting rid of the thoughts, Lin Huang could not fall asleep. He opened the Heart Network and browsed through the news.
A piece of news that was recommended by the Heart Network caught Lin Huang's attention.
"Recently, the number of murders in foothold No.7B61 in Xiagong City has been increasing. The murders started four days ago and there were already 16 deaths on the first day. As of this morning, the death toll has reached 121. All the victims are ordinary people and iron-level. There are no bronze-level victims yet. The Coalition government is paying close attention to this incident … "
"It has been four days and the murderer is still not caught …" Lin Huang did not think highly of the security system in Xiagong City.
After reading the news for a while, Lin Huang felt sleepy when it was almost 12 pm. He then turned off the network and fell asleep.
In the room next door, Feng Zhuoran was sitting on the sofa in the living room and dialed a number.
After a while, the call was connected and a video popped up. It was Uncle Li who had spoken to Leng Yuexin earlier.
"Good evening, Mr. Butler!" Feng Zhuoran waved.
"How's it going?" Butler Li asked directly.
"It's going well. I've been looking after her for the past few days. There shouldn't be any problems." Feng Zhuoran stood up straight, crossed his arms and smiled.
"From your tone, you don't sound very sure. What happened?" Housekeeper Li saw through Feng Zhuoran at a glance.
"There's indeed a small problem … The other party sent out mortals, but I scared them away."
"In order to hunt down that young man named Lin Huang, they sent out Transcendents?" Butler Li frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with the identity of the dead boy, or does Lin Huang have other secrets?"
"Miss, we've checked Lin Huang's background many times since you came back. There shouldn't be any problem with him. The problem should be with the kid he killed. "Feng Zhuoran gave his own guess. "I asked Fan about it, but he didn't say a word about it, as if it was a taboo. This is even more telling."
"I'll see if I can find anything else. Thank you for your hard work these few days." After Butler Li finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
"Mr. Butler always hangs up on me …" Feng Zhuoran said helplessly as he looked at the black screen.
Closing the communication page, Feng Zhuoran returned to his friend group to gossip with his old friends. Van didn't need to sleep every day, which gave them a lot of time to kill.
At around one o 'clock in the morning, he suddenly received a message from Butler Li.
"There's something wrong with the kid that Lin Huang killed. His body is missing, and all the clues have been erased."
Feng Zhuoran frowned as he read the message. He shook his head and sighed, "Lin Huang, Lin Huang, what kind of person did you offend …"
…
Several hours ago, a blood-red sword beam fell into a forest. A black-robed man looked at the sky behind him and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness they didn't come after me!"
He took off his hat, opened the communication page on his Emperor's Heart Ring and dialed a number.
"How's it going?" A voice came from the other side of the communication device.
"It failed. Feng Zhuoran from the Leng family did it, and he made it very clear that the Leng family will take care of this," the man in the black robe answered immediately.
"The Leng family …" The person on the other side of the communication device was silent for a while before he spoke again, "Forget it, let's call everyone back. It won't do us any good if this gets out of hand."
"But, how are we going to explain to Mr. Huang?" The man in the black robe asked.
"I'll explain to him. After all, it's just a distant relative who died. It's not as important as our business. He only asked us to do it because he wanted to prove himself. We've tried our best. If we continue, we'll have to pay a huge price … "Zheng Yuan hung up the phone helplessly.
The Zheng family was only a middle noble family in Division7. They could not be compared to the upper nobles like the Leng family. However, he could not afford to offend the other party as well. He was stuck in the middle.
After discussing with the other families for more than an hour, they decided to give up on the assassination. As the instigator of this attack, he could only brace himself and report this matter to Mr. Huang.
In the study, he shut the door and windows tightly before dialing a number.
After two rings, the call was picked up.
"Speak." It was a baritone voice, and he could not tell how old he was.
"Mr. Huang, this is what happened. We were stopped by the Leng family when we tried to kill Gu Ding …" Zheng Yuan told him what happened.
After a long silence, the person on the other side of the communication device said, "I understand. Don't do business in Division7 anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the other side of the communication device hung up, leaving Zheng Yuan confused.
"How did this happen?" Zheng Yuan called again, but the person on the other side of the line had blocked him.
…
In an exquisite castle in Division2, a lady in a purple dress who looked like she was in her thirties was caressing a skull.
"Shan Er, you just won't listen to me. Back then, you liked those little girls, so I asked Old Huang to set up such a business for you in the remote Division7. I asked you to take care of everything behind the scenes while Old Huang handled everything for you. Later on, when you insisted on being involved, I asked Old Huang to make up a fake identity for you. He told the aristocrats in Division7 that you were his distant relative and asked them to take care of you as a supplier. "
"It's fine if you're a supplier. You were born with a defective Life Wheel and can't cultivate Life Power. You knew that you couldn't activate your defensive equipment and relics, so you had to ask Old Huang to protect you at all times. However, you took advantage of the fact that he wasn't around to look for girls. Now, you've ended up like this! "
There was a blue glow in the skull's eyes. It moved its jaw and spoke in a man's voice. If Lin Huang was here, he would definitely recognize the voice as it belonged to Wei Shan whom he had killed earlier.
"Mother, you must avenge me! After you kill Lin Huang, imprison his soul and turn him into a zombie slave! "
"Shan Er, of course, we must avenge him, but there's no rush. The Leng Family is the local tyrant in Division7 and they're related to Division3. If I'm too involved, I'll attract the attention of Division3. I have other plans for you to avenge yourself. You stay in the Soul-nurturing Jar for three years first. After three years, when your life soul is stable, I will help you find a body of the undead. At that time, you can live in the form of the undead. "
"Mother, what's the plan?" The skull asked anxiously.
"Bring her up." The lady in the purple dress clapped her hands.
A lady with two ponytails was brought up by a maidservant. She looked at the lady in the purple dress timidly.
"Lily!" The skull shouted happily.
"Father!" Lily immediately pounced on the skull without fear.
"Lily, your father will only be revived after three years. Do you want to avenge him?" The lady in the purple dress smiled at Lily.
"Yes!" Lily nodded her head hard.
"It'll be very difficult for you to become stronger. You might even die. Are you afraid?" The lady in the purple dress asked with a smile.
"I'm not afraid!" Lily shook her head.
"Alright, I'll send you to Phoenix Island for a year of special training. If you can come back alive from Phoenix Island, I'll send you back to Division7. I'll give you a month to kill Lin Huang. "The lady in the purple dress nodded at the maidservant.
The maidservant left with Lily while the lady in the purple dress touched the skull again. "Are you satisfied that your daughter will avenge you?"
