Chapter 61: Killing Intent

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Herlyee Translations

Pang Tong was puzzled. “Du family? Why are you asking about this family?”

“Xiaozhi had a conflict with this family. I want to know more.”

“Do you know which district it is in?'

“I only know that this family should be near Liuying District. The head of the family is also very young, and he has just become a Tough Realm warrior.”

Pang Tong nodded. “1 don't know about the Du family, but it should be easier to find out if he became a Tough Realm martial artist at a young age. By the way, have you asked Eldest Senior Brother?'

“Eldest Senior Brother doesn't know either.”

“Then I'll find time to help you ask around. I can't guarantee that I'll find out.” “Thank you, Senior Brother Pang. I'll treat you to a meal later.”

Lin Yan bade farewell to Senior Brother Pang. It seemed like he had to ask Elder Li.

Next, it was another busy day.

By the time he was done, it was already afternoon.

Lin Yan brought the new maidservant back to Dragon Gate Pavilion.

“You'll live in this room from now on. Your main duty every day is to take care of my sister.”

'Yes, Master.”

The maidservant's name was Xiao Lu, and she was about seventeen years old.

She looked ordinary and had a thin figure, but she looked quite honest and knew how to cook. Moreover, she had the experience of taking care of two sisters and a younger brother.

Later on, her family provoked a gang and lost her younger siblings. Only then was she sold to the slavers.

When Xiaozhi heard about Xiao Lu's background, her eyes turned red. She held

Xiao Lu's hand. “Sister Xiao Lu, don't be sad. '

The unfamiliarity and panic in Xiao Lu's eyes gradually turned into gentleness.

'You should familiarize yourself with the environment first. Go to the dining room regularly to get food every day. It's getting more and more chaotic outside. Don't go out for the time being.”

'Yes, sir.”

After staring for a while and confirming that there was no problem with Xiao Lu, Lin Yan went out himself.

After greeting the disciples guarding the Instruction Yard and making sure that Xiaozhi would not be taken away, he left Dragon Gate Pavilion.

He should at least greet Elder Li and bid him farewell.

Therefore, he first went to buy two catties of good wine. Coupled with the poems and quotations that he had memorized in this short period of time, he went straight to Muqing Book House.

It was still early. When he saw that the water in the vat was dirty, he brought over buckets of water and replaced all the water in the vat.

“Huh?'

After going back and forth a few times, Lin Yan frowned slightly. He realized that there were two sloppy hooligans standing at the corner of the street. From time to time, they would glance at Muqing Book House as if they were spying.

The clothes of these two people were very rough. They were probably gang members, and their actions and postures made Lin Yan feel familiar. “Are they looking for trouble with Muqing Book House?”

Ignoring the two of them, Lin Yan filled the water vat, and Muqing Book House's class ended.

“Elder Li.'

“Eh? Boy Lin, your sister isn't here today. Why are you here?”

“Elder Li, I'm here to bid you farewell.”

'What do you mean?'

“After what happened yesterday , I'm a little worried about Xiaozhi being outside. In the future, I'll let Xiaozhi stay in Dragon Gate Pavilion.”

“In other words, you won't come over anymore?”

'Yes, that's why I specially came to bid you farewell today.”

Elder Li sighed. “Alright, alright. Recently, I keep feeling that the atmosphere in Ding'an City is getting more and more oppressive. There's clearly nothing serious, but I keep feeling that something is wrong. It's as if there's an undercurrent surging in the dark, as if something major is about to happen.”

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat. “Elder Li, do you know anything?”

Elder Li sighed. “It's nothing. Perhaps it's just an old man's paranoia.”

Puzzling..

Lin Yan felt that there was a hidden meaning in Elder Li's words, so he asked,

“Elder Li, you must have discovered something, right?”

Elder Li was silent for a moment before sighing. “You know that when you're old, you'll see and hear more.

“I've already experienced more than ten Dingdeng Battles. It's been decades, but none of them have been as peaceful as this year.'

“Peaceful?” Lin Yan was puzzled.

This year's tax increase and snatching of people for the Dingdeng Battle caused the entire Ding'an City to be in chaos. Countless families had been destroyed. This was called peaceful?

Elder Li's gaze was deep and meaningful. 'Those who have lost their families are all poor. However, those who really have the strength to help the City Lord Manor obtain a ranking on the Dingdeng Battlefield are the rich.

“You weren't too young in the Dingdeng Battle last time, right? You can recall.”

Lin Yan's gaze froze slightly. He tried his best to search for the memories of the last Dingdeng Battle.

It seemed that at that time, there was a tax increase, but it was not much. It was much less than now.

On the other hand, from time to time, he would hear that the City Lord Manor had a conflict with a wealthy family in the Inner Circle, forcing them to send out powerful martial artists.

However, this year, the City Lord Manor increased taxes and arrested people. It looked like a huge commotion, but it was targeted at the poor.

He had never heard of a conflict between the wealthy families and martial arts schools in the inner city and the City Lord Manor.

This feeling was like a tiger fighting. Instead of asking the hyenas for help, the tiger threatened and tempted a group of rabbits to go to the battlefield. The thunder was loud, but the rain was light.

Had he stopped trying, or was he isolated, or did he have other plans?

Lin Yan looked at Elder Li inquiringly, but his pupils constricted slightly.

Elder Li had a terrifyingly deep look on his face. A thick layer of haze appeared in his eyes, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying.

“Elder Li..

“Alright, alright. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's see what you brought

“Elder Li..

“Let me see it.”

Lin Yan realized that Elder Li really didn't want to say anything else, so he could only place the good wine and poems on the stone table.

Elder Li was overjoyed at the sight of the gifts. He picked up the incomplete book and kept flipping through it. His eyes lit up, and he did not mention what he had just said.

Lin Yan poured a glass of wine for Elder Li.

Elder Li drank and flipped through the book.

After a long while, Elder Li heaved a long sigh of relief and sighed. “Good poem, good lyrics!”

“It's good that Elder Li likes it.”

Elder Li sighed with emotion. “Back then, I agreed to let you go to Dragon Gate Pavilion because I wanted you to hit the wall and be discouraged. In the future, I would take you in as a teacher in the clan.

“I didn't expect you to have such talent in martial arts. In just three months, you reached the upper Strength Realm.

“It's my fault for not recognizing talents. I was too narrow-minded. ”

“Elder Li, you're being too serious. If not for your help, I wouldn't be where I am today.”

The two of them chatted for a while more. Lin Yan beat around the bush and asked the question just now, but Elder Li did not answer.

Helpless, Lin Yan asked about Du Tianci. “Elder Li, do you know what happened to Du Tianci's family yesterday?”

Elder Li drank another glass of wine. “You were too impulsive yesterday. You'll easily suffer a loss like this.”

Lin Yan said helplessly, “Elder Li, you once told me that martial artists need to have an inch of sharpness, hide their anger, and nurture their heroism. If I'm indifferent to Xiaozhi being bullied, then the sharpness, anger, and heroism in my chest will completely dissipate.”

Elder Li's body trembled, and his face was filled with disappointment. 'That's right. I taught you, but I forgot. I'm old and really useless… '

After sighing, Elder Li roughly told Lin Yan about the Du family's situation.

“In that case, the third son of the Du family is actually working for the Hong family in the inner area?”

Wasn't the Hong family the wealthy family behind Cave B2, which had been tricked by Poison Master Gan Yang last time?

Elder Li said, 'The third son of the Du family has already advanced to the Tough Realm at the age of 26 or 27 and joined an aristocratic family. His future is limitless.

“However, you don't have to worry too much. Du Tianci is only the nephew of the third son of the Du family. He doesn't have to take the risk of offending Dragon Gate Pavilion and personally find trouble with you.

“Find an opportunity and I'll let you guys meet to make peace. This matter will be over.'

In any case, he had already taught them a lesson. If they could reconcile, it would naturally be good to have one less enemy.

Lin Yan felt a little relieved. “Then I'll have to trouble Old Li.'

After bidding farewell to Elder Li and handing over the token of contact, Lin Yan walked out of Muqing Book House, feeling slightly disappointed.

This book house was once Xiaozhi's shelter, and also the place where his martial arts path really began.

However, after this farewell, he did not know when he would see Elder Li agam.

“Huh?'

Lin Yan frowned slightly. Those two gang members were actually still wandering around.

“Forget it. In the end, I'll help Elder Li deal with these two troubles. '

The two gang members were chatting and laughing. They were wandering around and discussing which girl they would go to play with at night.

Suddenly, a black shadow quickly approached and punched them in the head several times, directly knocking them out.

Lin Yan originally wanted to kill them and destroy the evidence.

However, on second thought, the two of them might not be really spying.

Even if they were spying, it might not be for a bad purpose. What if it was protection?

In his previous life, he was a civilized person. He could not be easily changed by this world and kill anyone easily.

Hence, he dragged the two of them to a corner. He first woke one up to ask, then the other to ask about their intentions.

After everything the two of them said matched, Lin Yan was furious. What civilized person? He punched and killed the two hooligans on the spot.

“Black Tiger Gang… Du Family… Xiaozhi..

Lin Yan's eyes turned cold, and his killing intent surged like boiling magma.

The world was like a chess game. There were coincidences above coincidences. These two people were actually from the Black Tiger Gang!

The Black Tiger Gang was only a small gang. Lin Yan had almost forgotten about the Black Tiger Gang.

When Lin Yan found out that the two of them were members of the Black Tiger Gang, he instantly thought that the Black Tiger Gang was haunting him and tracking him here.

However, what he heard next made him even angrier.

On his side, he deliberately showed mercy and did not hurt anyone's life. He even wanted to reconcile with the Du family.

But what about the Du family?

They went straight to the Black Tiger Gang and wanted to secretly trick Xiaozhi out and kidnap her!

Lin Yan asked very carefully. The Du family went straight to the Black Tiger Gang. The leader of the Black Tiger Gang originally didn't plan to agree, but when he heard Lin Yan's name, he immediately agreed.

If he was not careful, or if he had sent Xiaozhi to Book House and was busy with his own matters…

The consequences were unimaginable!

He casually threw the two corpses into the trash in the corner. His eyes were like a deep lake, cold and silent. As he walked back, he focused on opening the Golden Bodhi Scripture.

Skills: Devour (100%), Five Animal Hands (100%), Dragon-Shaped Fist (15%)

He did have something important to do today.

That was, the Five Animal Hands Technique had finally reached 100% proficiency!

However, he was busy and did not have the time to experience the profundity of the perfected Five Animal Hands Technique, let alone sublimate it and transform his blood energy.

“Black Tiger Gang, Du family, old hatred, new hatred…”

As if a person was emitting killing intent, the sky changed color. As he walked, Lin Yan touched his cheek. It was actually raining.

Layers of dark clouds covered the already dark sky, followed by loud thunder. The lightning and the rain that filled the sky were like a huge curtain that descended from the sky, covering the entire decaying Ding'an City.

This reminded Lin Yan of the night he killed Hu Biao.

There was no rain or lightning that night. There was only a bone-chilling killing intent that clashed with him from afar.

“The sky is completely dark…”
