With Yi Zheng's ability, he was kidnapped without being able to fight back at all. It meant that the kidnapper was most likely an imperial-level.
If this happened in the past, Lin Huang would have been afraid of him.
However, he was excited now. He was even looking forward to fighting the kidnapper. One must know that there were not many opportunities to fight an imperial-level.
Moreover, his speculation of his ability was only based on theory. He would only know what level his ability was at after a real battle.
Now that he had finally encountered an opponent who came to him, Lin Huang was elated.
As for Yi Zheng who was kidnapped … Hmm … He would fight the kidnapper first.
After making the decision happily, Lin Huang leaped from the balcony and dashed into the sky. He turned into a black meteor and headed towards the west of the city.
Guiyan Tower was the ruins of an ancient building complex in the western suburbs of Wanbao City.
It must have been a temple in the ancient times. However, the temple had turned into rubble and broken bricks, leaving only half of the tower behind.
The Coalition government sent people to investigate as soon as the ruins were discovered. However, they only managed to dig out some scriptures and ordinary people's bones. The final conclusion was that it was just an ordinary temple in the past.
Throughout the hundreds of years that followed, many powerhouses had visited the place but left empty-handed. Gradually, nobody came anymore.
Moreover, it was too far away from the foothold of Wanbao City. It was more than 2,000 kilometers away and it did not cover a large area. Considering the low probability of ordinary tourists visiting, the Coalition government did not develop it into a tourist attraction. Therefore, it had become a barren land that was overgrown with weeds.
Throughout the few days that Lin Huang had been in Wanbao City, apart from visiting a few of the major attractions, he had not been to anything else. Naturally, he had never been to Guiyan Tower.
If the kidnappers hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about the existence of such an ancient ruin.
With his double acceleration, Lin Huang arrived at the western suburbs of the city within 20 minutes. He saw the half of the burnt tower and the ruins that were filled with broken bricks from afar.
He could clearly sense that there were two silhouettes on the first floor of the tower within the range of his Territory.
One of them was leaning against the wall, while the other was standing. Both of them raised their heads and looked in his direction. Clearly, they had discovered him.
Lin Huang slowly descended and landed on a small hill that was piled up with broken bricks. This place was only about 20 meters away from the entrance of the broken tower. This was the safe distance he gave himself.
"I have come according to the agreement. Can you come out now?" Lin Huang's tone was calm, but his voice was melodious and clearly transmitted into the ears of the two people inside the tower.
At the entrance of Guiyan Pagoda, a pale, skinny man pushed Yi Zheng out.
Under the moonlight, Lin Huang finally saw the kidnapper's appearance.
His face had a sickly pallor, and he looked completely bloodless, like the vampires depicted in many novels. He was about 1.8 meters tall, very thin, and had long limbs. He looked very ordinary, the kind that would be lost in a crowd.
If he had not sensed the strength of the other party's aura, Lin Huang would have thought that he was just an ordinary person.
"He's indeed an imperial-level. Moreover, he's on the first level of imperial-level – black gold-rank."
After sizing him up, Lin Huang had a preliminary estimation of the person's combat strength. He then shifted his gaze and looked at Yi Zheng.
Yi Zheng's Life Power was gone. He must have been sealed by some secret skill. However, he did not seem to have been tortured as he was still dressed neatly. He looked upset when he saw Lin Huang. "He's an imperial-level. You shouldn't have come."
"You didn't pick up my calls or reply to my messages. What else can I do?" Lin Huang smiled and opened his arms. "If I don't do anything and let you die here, I won't be able to explain it to your sister."
"We're done chatting." The pale man pressed his hand on Yi Zheng's shoulder. Yi Zheng groaned in pain and stopped talking.
"Give me the thing and I'll let you go." The pale man lifted his head and looked at Lin Huang.
"What thing? You have to tell me. "Lin Huang looked at the pale man.
"Don't beat around the bush. You know very well that I want the God's Figurine!"
"This guy really knows what the God's Figurine is." Lin Huang's heart sank but he did not show it on his face. "I really don't know what the God's Figurine is."
"You don't know?! Then why did you bid against me at the auction? " The pale man squinted his eyes. "I've searched this guy's memory. Don't think that I don't know that both of you are the guests in VIP room No. 2 on the third floor. You're the one who bid for the thing."
"I bid for it? Oh … Are you talking about the wooden carving? " "So, it's called the God's Figurine … You're an imperial-level and you kidnapped my friend just for a wooden carving. It seems like the wooden carving must be something valuable." Lin Huang looked like he had just realized something.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the thing!" The pale man was getting impatient.
"If you give it to me, both of us will die," Yi Zheng said calmly.
"I didn't ask you to speak!"
The pale man exerted force with his left hand and a cracking sound came from Yi Zheng's shoulder. He was in so much pain that beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. However, he did not make a sound.
"Don't do anything. I didn't say that I won't give it to you," Lin Huang said immediately, "I can give it to you but I have a condition. You have to let him go first."
"I'll let him go after I get it," the pale man said without any expression on his face.
"No way. It's not that I don't trust you, but my friend is right. There's a high possibility that you'll kill both of us if you take the thing. "Lin Huang did not want to give in to his condition.
"My friend is the brother of a female friend of mine. If he dies, his sister will definitely blame me. Even if I die, she'll still hate me. Let him go since I'm still here. You know that the thing is with me and not with him. As long as he leaves safely, I'll give it to him. If you go back on your words and kill him, I'll be the only one who dies. As long as he's alive, his sister won't blame me for not taking good care of him. She'll even think about me every day. I sacrificed my life to save his brother. Hmm, thinking about those long legs, it'll be worth it even if I die. "Lin Huang had a perverted expression on his face and he was almost drooling.
"Lin Huang, so you've been eyeing my sister all this while!" Yi Zheng stared at Lin Huang. He was so angry that he accidentally called out his real name.
"Otherwise, why do you think I've always treated her as a friend?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrows. "There's no such thing as a pure friendship between a man and a woman. This is common sense."
"You …" Yi Zheng was so angry that he could not speak.
"Humans are such boring lowly creatures …" The pale man mumbled and looked at Lin Huang again. "Alright, I'll agree to your condition. However, I have a condition too. I need to see if you really brought the thing with you. Once I'm sure, I'll let him go immediately. "
"Alright, you can't go back on your word." Lin Huang smirked.
