Inside the Yan Family Manor, Yan Xulun was enjoying a bowl of white jade ointment soup that was like snow.
This elemental soup was refined from the essence of the internal organs of spiritual creatures. It was mixed with golden potato leaf juice and mixed with many secret spices and white milk. It was rich and dense, and the taste was smooth. When swallowed, it was as if one was eating a jade pill.
He used to drink three bowls of this white jade ointment soup every seven days. It could make him look good and full of energy.
However, as his power in the Army of God declined, the channels to obtain spiritual creatures also became narrower. The people who used to give him offerings also became fewer and fewer. Now, he could only drink one bowl a month.
After He Jiang took over Almote's position as the Left Military Marquis, he took over all of Almote's original power without any twists and turns.
Most of the people in the Army of God now came from the naturalized aboriginals and the An people. Each of them valued martial power very much. Yan Xulun himself did not have any power, so no one was willing to follow him.
Yan Xulun was also slightly regretful at this moment. Before, he had tried his best to reject Tianxia's language and words. However, after completely abandoning Tianxia's etiquette, he found that the result was that everyone did not care about morality and etiquette. They did things arrogantly and disdained justice and morality. They completely respected the strong.
If Ning Kunlun was here, it would be fine. He could still protect all of this. However, after he disappeared, all of his power also disappeared.
He was now waiting, waiting for his son Yan Zhu to become strong. Then, he could once again restore his previous power.
Just last month, he promised the people of the Restored God Church to let Yan Zhu take advantage of the New Year's break to go to the stronghold of the Restored God Church in the name of traveling and perform the ceremony to unlock the shackles of power.
Yan Zhu returned to the manor a few days ago and excitedly told him that the ceremony was very successful.
However, unlike the power ceremony of the Army of God, the Restored God Church poured external power into the body of the subject. It was not like the Army of God that focused on developing one's own power.
It was precisely because these powers did not belong to him that if he wanted to use them, he would not be able to adapt and might even hurt himself. Therefore, the people of the God Recovery Society added some restrictions to Yan Zhu. He needed to adapt to it bit by bit. Once he mastered it completely, he would be able to turn this external God Power into his own power.
Yan Xulun felt that this method was better. There were many factions in the Army of God, and the members were complicated. If Yan Zhu's strength suddenly increased, it would arouse many people's suspicions. On the contrary, it would be less conspicuous if he grew bit by bit.
After drinking the entire bowl of White Jade Ointment Soup, not leaving a single drop behind, he felt a burst of heat throughout his body. His skin turned red, and he knew that the effects of the medicine had kicked in. He stood up and began to stretch his muscles and bones. Soon, cracking sounds could be heard from his joints.
After half a summer, as the effects of the medicine gradually dissipated, he was sweating profusely. He returned to the tent to wash up. According to his usual routine, he was ready to take an afternoon nap.
Just as he turned his head around, he suddenly felt the curtains flutter. This was a large tent, so there shouldn't be any wind. Thus, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He calmly and slowly moved his hand to the dagger at his waist.
"Deputy Commandant Yan, there's no need to do those little tricks." A familiar voice came from behind him.
When Yan Xulun heard it, he slowly turned around and saw a man wearing Victory Edge clothes floating there. His hands were behind his back, and his feet were half a foot off the ground. He had an arrogant look on his face.
He gave him a few glances and said, "So it's Captain Lin. What are you doing here?"
Captain Lin gave him a few glances and said with a ruminating smile, "Deputy Commandant Yan, I came here specifically to remind you that during the meeting just now, Xia Shi Zhang Yu proposed to reopen the case of the Wenxiu Courtyard fire. The Governor's office has already given the order to detain you and your son Yan Zhu. I think the guards of the Governor's office and people from the Xuanfu are already on the way …"
"Oh, right." He seemed to have thought of something and pretended to be shocked. "Almote really is dead. Yes, he was personally beaten to death by that Zhang Yu. How is it? Are you very surprised? "
Yan Xulun's expression immediately changed. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Did the Commandant send you here?"
Captain Lin glanced at his trembling fingers and said slowly, "I feel that Deputy Commandant Yan should be more concerned about himself at this time."
Yan Xulun looked at him and took two steps forward. With a trace of anxiety, he said, "I want to see the Commandant!"
Captain Lin sneered and folded his arms. "Then I'm sorry. I'm afraid the Commandant has no time to see you."
A trace of despair flashed in Yan Xulun's eyes. He immediately understood that he had been abandoned.
If Almote was still here, perhaps the situation would not have reached this point. But …
Wrong. His previous judgment of Zhang Yu was completely wrong!
It was also because of this mistake that caused the collapse of everything.
He took a few deep breaths and looked at the other party. "I understand. Captain Lin, what do you need me to do to protect my children and clansmen?"
"That's right. That's the right attitude." Captain Lin raised his chin and gestured to him. "The Commandant said that he hopes you will hand over the person and the thing you obtained from the Wenxiu Academy."
Yan Xulun said in surprise, "What thing? What thing? "
Captain Lin sneered and said, "Don't pretend to be confused. Do you think you did it flawlessly? Will the Commandant really believe you that you didn't find anything in the Wenxiu Courtyard? The Commandant just wants you to do this without worry. Old Man Qiu is still translating the secret text in your cellar, right? "
Yan Xulun fell silent. If he knew about this, it meant that he must have a trusted aide who betrayed him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "So the Commandant already knew. Okay, I'll hand it over! But I hope you can do what you promised me! "
Captain Lin snorted. "As long as you honestly take responsibility for everything and hand over the thing and the person, the Commandant will naturally step forward to protect your son and daughter. As for your clansmen, no one is interested in them."
Yan Xulun cupped his fists and said, "Then please thank the Commandant for me, Captain Lin."
"Commandant!"
At this moment, a trusted aide rushed in hurriedly. He looked at Captain Lin, who was floating there, with some surprise, and then looked at Yan Xulun.
Yan Xulun shouted, "What's the matter? Speak!"
The trusted aide pointed outside and said, "Commandant, there are about a thousand soldiers coming over. It looks like they're coming for our manor. Do you want me to go to the barracks and send a message?"
Yan Xulun said in a deep voice, "I know. If those soldiers come over, don't resist. Open the manor's door and let them in."
The trusted aide said in surprise, "Commandant?"
Yan Xulun said, "Do as I say!"
The trusted aide was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to disobey. He turned around and was about to go out when he saw a flash of light. In an instant, his body was cut in half vertically. His corpse fell to the ground, and the tent was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Captain Lin slowly retracted his outstretched finger.
Yan Xulun suppressed his anger and said, "What are you doing?"
Captain Lin laughed and said, "I'm here to deliver the message. I can't let anyone know. Deputy Commandant Yan, you'll have to work hard and resist a little."
"Who are you? What do you want? "
At this moment, a violent shout was heard. Then, a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old rushed in and punched Captain Lin!
Yan Xulun said in surprise, "Stop!"
But it was too late. The punch had already been thrown. Captain Lin didn't take it to heart at first. He knew who the newcomer was and what level of strength he had, so he still floated there. His body glowed, and he casually received the punch to show his calmness.
But he never expected that the power coming from the other side was so great. He was caught off guard and his hand was blocked. Then, a fist shining with golden light smashed into his face.
The light on his body suddenly collapsed, and even his cheeks were deformed. His entire body was sent flying by a huge force, breaking through the tent and crashing into the weapons rack outside.
The young man's punch succeeded, but he didn't stop. He yelled and continued to rush out of the damaged tent. Then, the sound of collisions and angry shouts came from outside.
When Yan Xulun hurried out, he saw Captain Lin floating in mid-air. The red swelling at the corner of his mouth was slowly fading. He looked down and said, "Yan Xulun, I didn't expect your son to be so secretive. Good! It seems that you don't need my help. You can solve your own problems. "
After leaving these harsh words, he gave Yan Zhu a hateful look. His body swayed, and he flew away.
When Yan Xulun saw him leave, he knew that this path was blocked. He was anxious and angry. He turned his head and said to the young man in a hurried voice, "Zhu 'er, go quickly. Remember the place I told you before. Go there and hide!"
"Father, what are you afraid of? I'm not the same as before. Even if Almote comes, I'm not afraid of him."
Yan Zhu was full of vigor. He didn't know what fear was at all. There was a trace of excitement in his disapproval. "Father, there are people outside. If one comes, I'll fight one. If two come, I'll fight both!"
Yan Xulun stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder. He growled, "Zhu 'er, you don't understand. This time, the Protectorate and the Xuanfu have joined forces to deal with us. No matter how good you are at fighting, how many people can you deal with? Listen to your father. Go! "
"I …" Yan Zhu was a little stunned. He had never seen Yan Xulun so anxious. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay …"
However, at this moment, with a loud bang, a figure fell straight down from the sky and smashed into the ground. Amidst the flying dust, a capable middle-aged man was revealed. He was tall and wore the robes of the guards of the government residence. Outside the robes, there was a layer of light brown spiritual light.
Yan Xulun said in surprise, "An Zhu?"
An Zhu looked at the two people and said coldly, "Under the orders of the Governor, I'm here to arrest Yan Xulun and his son …"
"Ah …"
Yan Zhu shouted and rushed forward. His body glowed brightly, and he threw a punch at the man.
Yan Xulun was terrified. "Zhu 'er, back off. You're not him …"
An Zhu's figure tilted slightly and avoided the punch. Then, relying on his height, he naturally reached out his hand and placed it on Yan Zhu's head. With a gentle twist of his wrist, he twisted Yan Zhu's neck to the back.
Yan Xulun looked at Yan Zhu's wide-eyed face, which was still filled with disbelief. His lips trembled. "You, you …"
An Zhu let go of his hand and let the limp body fall to the ground. He said expressionlessly, "If there's any resistance, kill without mercy!"
