Chapter 66 Are you an undercover agent?
He walked over to Han Shantong's body and quickly searched it, but only found a bunch of copper keys and a dagger.
This dagger was the same weapon Han Shantong had used earlier. Lin Qing held it in his right hand and tried to stab it at a stone wall next to him.
As a result, the dagger pierced through easily and smoothly, with almost no resistance whatsoever.
"What a sharp dagger," Lin Qing exclaimed.
A dagger this sharp can be considered a divine weapon; ordinary people can't buy it even if they have money.
Afterwards, Lin Qing dragged Han Shantong's body to a large locust tree by the roadside. The lush branches and leaves intertwined, forming a giant umbrella above, completely shielding the heavy rain from the sky, and casting a dry, shady area below.
Lin Qing poured the prepared liquid onto Han Shantong's corpse. In an instant, the corpse turned into a pool of sewage, which was then ignited by a fire tinderbox and eventually turned to ashes.
At this moment, the progress of the salvation reached 100% on the panel.
Lin Qing didn't dare to rush to absorb the memories, because he would be distracted during the process of digesting the memories and his perception of the outside world would be greatly reduced. Therefore, he had to find a relatively safe environment.
With this in mind, Lin Qing used his lightness skill to head towards his own courtyard.
...
the other side.
The Han family mansion.
The rain poured down, but the three hundred armored soldiers stood like statues, unmoved by the rain, exuding a chilling aura.
"You surnamed Han, get out here!" Ran Hongxia, carrying a heavy hammer on her shoulder, smashed it down on the main gate of the Han family mansion, completely destroying the pear wood door opposite.
Then she divided her forces into one group to guard the various entrances and exits of the mansion, while she led another group to storm into the Han family mansion.
At the same moment, outside the Han family ancestral hall, Lu Xingmin and others had been waiting for Han Shantong to return, but he was nowhere to be seen. Just as they were getting anxious, they suddenly heard Ran Hongxia shout, and then saw a man with a panicked expression scrambling into the courtyard.
"Report! Lady Ran Hongxia has led a troop of armored soldiers in!"
"What?" Lu Xingmin's expression changed drastically, and everyone around him also showed expressions of fear and unease.
"How could this happen?"
"We're doomed! There are so many babies in this ancestral hall, and there's also a statue of the evil god of the Bai'er cult. Once that woman finds out about these things, with her violent temper, she'll tear us apart!" Liu Jingchuan said, trembling. He was so scared that his legs went weak.
This is a heinous crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan; once discovered, everyone involved will die.
"Who the hell leaked the news? I'll skin him alive!" Lu Xingmin roared, suddenly drawing his knife, his gaze fierce as he coldly swept over everyone present.
Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
"Lord Lu, now is not the time to catch the mole. Let's think about what to do first," someone said.
Lu Xingmin's expression shifted, then he abruptly sheathed his knife and said in a deep voice, "You all wait here, I'll go and get that crazy woman out of here."
Lu Xingmin stood up from the chair and walked quickly out of the courtyard with heavy steps.
Although he was overweight, he was a martial artist of the Transformation Realm, strong and healthy, and it did not affect his walking or even running at all.
With a gloomy face, he strode forward in the heavy rain, followed closely by two maids. One of them saw Lu Xingmin getting wet in the rain and stepped forward with concern, wanting to hold an umbrella for him.
"roll!"
Lu Xingmin turned around and punched the girl squarely in the chest. The force of the punch sent the girl flying, crashing into a wall not far away. With a scream, the girl fell to the ground, blood seeping from her mouth and nose. After convulsing for a moment, she died on the spot.
The other maid behind him trembled with fear. Lu Xingmin was extremely vicious: "You get out of here too, and don't hang around in front of me."
Suddenly, a woman's rough and loud voice came from afar.
"Lord Lu, you're so arrogant! You can kill your maids whenever you want. Where is the law?"
Lu Xingmin glanced around and saw Ran Hongxia carrying a heavy hammer as she walked into the courtyard, followed by dozens of black-armored soldiers.
Lu Xingmin's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly revealed a kind, even somewhat obsequious, smile: "Lord Ran, I've finally been waiting for you! I have important matters to report. Han Shantong, in league with over a dozen powerful forces in the inner and outer cities, has secretly colluded with the Yin Yuan Sect, intending to hold a Hundred Sons Banquet at the Han family ancestral hall to please the evil god and achieve immortality. To capture these people, I feigned cooperation with the old scoundrel Han, but in reality, I was secretly gathering information, preparing to cooperate with you to wipe them out in one fell swoop. I didn't expect that you, sir, are so discerning, and the problem has already occurred. They are all in the Han family's backyard now. We must strike with lightning speed and wipe them all out!"
Ran Hongxia said with a playful expression, "So you're an undercover agent?"
"What Lord Ran said is absolutely right. I did all this for the sake of the people!" Lu Xingmin said firmly.
"Shut up! Men, seize him!" Ran Hongxia suddenly shouted.
"Lord Ran, what do you mean by this?" Lu Xingmin's expression changed drastically.
"You surnamed Lu, do you really think I'm a three-year-old?" Ran Hongxia cursed.
Lu Xingmin's face suddenly turned fierce, and he rushed straight at Ran Hongxia. He knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully today. The only way to survive was to capture Ran Hongxia and use her life as a hostage to exchange for a chance to escape.
"So what if they're from the prefectural city? Anyone can be killed!" Lu Xingmin roared.
Then, Ran Hongxia smashed him away with a hammer, his several-hundred-pound body flying more than ten steps before crashing into the open ground, creating a large crater and shattering the bluestone slabs.
Lu Xingmin was horrified. He hadn't even seen how Ran Hongxia made her move. He just felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then the heavy hammer struck his chest, leaving him seriously injured.
He could feel that countless bones in his body were broken, and his internal organs were being torn apart, causing him excruciating pain.
With just one hammer blow, all the energy in his body was completely shattered, and he was utterly rendered incapable of fighting.
"Men, tie him up!" Ran Hongxia shouted, then led her men deeper into the Han family mansion.
Before long, the gate of the courtyard where the ancestral hall was located was kicked open by Ran Hongxia. Liu Jingchuan and the others all changed their expressions drastically. When they saw Ran Hongxia's burly body and huge warhammer, they were all terrified.
"Kneel down, all of you!" Ran Hongxia shouted.
Liu Jingchuan and the others' expressions changed, and they hesitated.
Ran Hongxia gave them no chance to think. She suddenly charged forward and slammed her hammer down, sending the dark-faced man closest to her flying more than twenty steps away. He fell to the ground and immediately lost consciousness.
"You won't kneel? This is what you'll get!" Ran Hongxia shouted.
This blow terrified everyone. Liu Jingchuan was the first to kneel down, and then, with a clatter, most of the others followed suit.
Ran Hongxia exuded an astonishing aura, so much so that they couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
Of course, there were exceptions. One of them, a thin man with a mustache, suddenly used his lightness skill to try to climb over the wall and escape. He was Bai Risheng, the head of the Bai family, who was skilled in lightness skill.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he leaped onto the roof, he saw a man in white standing in front of him with an umbrella, his eyes fixed on him, his cold gaze sweeping up and down.
Just as Bai Risheng was about to leave, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared before him. Bai Risheng's vision went black, and his body was instantly sliced open, turning into more than a dozen pieces of flesh scattered on the ground.
Wang Ling, sword in hand, leaped into the air and landed from the rooftop into the courtyard.
He glanced around, his tone indifferent: "According to the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty, those who collude with evil spirits shall have their entire family executed. You all deserve to die!"
