Chapter 85 Wang Tong's Revenge
Chapter 85 Wang Tong's Revenge (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
A night passed and Tian Lin didn't know when Old Man Gou left.
He entered the fourth stone step several times during the night, and when he finally came out of the fifth stone step his face was extremely pale.
"Are you Tian Lin?"
A slightly hoarse voice was heard, and a slightly plump old man appeared from the fifth stone step.
Tian Lin, looking pale, was about to salute the old man, but the old man frowned and said:
"You are at the fifth level of Qi Refining. How come you have stayed on the fifth stone step for so long? How did you get this level of cultivation?"
When Tian Lin saw that he could see through his cultivation level at a glance, he guessed that the old man was a foundation-building cultivator.
He tilted his head to look at Han Yue on the first floor platform, and heard Han Yue say, "This is the master of my Baihua Peak."
Tian Lin's heart moved, and he bowed to the old man without showing any emotion: "Disciple greets Elder Xiao."
The old man said impatiently: "No need to say more polite words, I have something for you to do at Baihua Peak."
He was talking about Baihua Peak instead of Yaoyue Sect. Tian Lin immediately said:
"Senior Sister Han from Baihua Peak and Senior Brother Xiao, the peak disciple, are both stronger than me. If they can't do it, how can I do it?"
But Elder Xiao would not allow Tian Lin to refuse. He grabbed Tian Lin's shoulders and went straight down to the first platform.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you can accomplish this, that's fine. If not, I want you to be buried with Xiao Hong."
Elder Xiao stepped from the first platform to the mountain gate and "abandoned" Han Yue on the first platform.
Tian Lin was grabbed by the shoulders by him, all his inner energy was suppressed, and he couldn't move at all.
"What happened to Senior Sister Xiao? Elder Xiao, why don't you gather all the people in the sect and rescue Senior Sister Xiao together?"
Tian Lin said this, but he knew that Yaoyue Sect was very busy right now. Even if it wasn't very busy, Yaoyue Sect would not make a big fuss for an outer sect disciple.
At this time, Elder Xiao did not respond to Tian Lin's words, because there were two people standing on the platform at the gate of Mount Wendao.
Tian Lin did not recognize the man in green robe with his back to him, but he recognized Xing Shanping who was opposite the man in green robe.
Xing Shanping was seen holding an iron plate in his hand, seemingly revealing his identity to the man in green robe who was blocking his way.
I don't know what the two said, but I heard the man in green robes say, "No matter what, I can't disobey Master's order and let Brother go up the mountain."
When Xing Shanping heard this, he was about to pull the long rope around his waist, but Elder Xiao had already dropped Tian Lin to the ground.
Elder Xiao said, "Xing Shanping, why don't you go to Yuechi Mountain to deal with those captured Blood Sect demons, but come to Daoshan Mountain to take care of the affairs of my Baihua Peak?"
Xing Shanping said: "I heard that Junior Sister Xiao was arrested and Elder Xiao wanted to exchange Tian Lin for Junior Sister Xiao, so I came here to stop him.
According to the sect's rules, Tian Lin is also an outer disciple. Even if he is not an outer disciple, there is no reason to exchange his life for Junior Sister Xiao's life."
"Sect rules?"
Elder Xiao laughed loudly and said to Xing Shanping:
"Didn't your father tell you that the so-called sect rules are made by the elders of each peak? You actually want to use the sect rules to restrict me, the one who makes the rules."
"Since Elder Xiao is the one who makes the rules, he should set an example. If not, what is the meaning of our Law Enforcement Hall's existence?"
"I can make the rules, so I can naturally modify them. Xing Shanping, don't think that just because you are the son of the Sect Leader, you can really treat Yaoyue Sect as your private property - not to mention that you are still far from sitting on the position of Sect Leader, even your father can't control us peaks."
After Elder Xiao finished speaking, he picked up Tian Lin and was about to leave.
Upon seeing this, Xing Shanping threw the long rope in his hand. The long rope swelled in the wind and turned into a giant python that wrapped around Elder Xiao.
Elder Xiao, who had already carried Tian Lin to the mountain path, smiled. He turned to the long rope and spoke in a thunderous voice.
As he shouted "get out", the long rope that was originally tied to Elder Xiao was tied to Xing Shanping.
Even though Xing Shanping was quite powerful, he had no power to fight back against a Foundation Establishment expert.
His body was tied up and he watched helplessly as Elder Xiao slapped him in the face.
At this moment, a ghost figure suddenly appeared behind Xing Shanping and raised his hand to grab Elder Xiao's wrist.
Elder Xiao frowned, looked at the person who suddenly appeared and said, "Why, Junior Brother Xiang is going to bring the Law Enforcement Hall to fight against my Baihua Peak?"
Tian Lin had seen Elder Xiang before. When he first went up to the first platform, this Elder Xiang had appeared with Master Uncle Feng.
"It's not that Xiang wants to start a war with Senior Brother, but Senior Brother wants to hurt someone from my Law Enforcement Hall, so Xiang has no choice but to step in."
“Since he is from your Law Enforcement Hall, then take him away. If he continues to interfere in the affairs of Baihua Peak, don’t blame me for not giving face to your Law Enforcement Hall.”
As he was talking, Elder Xiao pulled Tian Lin down the Wendao Mountain.
Han Yue finally chased from the first platform to the mountain gate, but saw that Tian Lin was taken away by Elder Xiao again.
She had no choice but to bow to Xing Shanping and Elder Xiang, then followed closely behind the man in green robe and hurried down the mountain.
"Elder Xiao, you should tell me now what happened to Senior Sister Xiao and what do you want me to do?"
Tian Lin suddenly spoke at the foot of the mountain. Elder Xiao threw him to the ground and said:
"Because of you, Wang Tong's parents are dead. Now Wang Tong has captured my granddaughter. Do you want to take responsibility?"
Tian Lin stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust and fallen leaves on his shoulders, and said with a smile:
"What the elder said is really interesting. Old Wang and his wife are evil spirits, and anyone can kill them. Moreover, the sect encourages its disciples to kill evil spirits. I have indirectly made contributions to the entire Yulong Continent. Why did the elder not reward me but blame me now?"
"I don't care whether old man Wang lives or dies. Whether Yulong Continent is good or bad, it won't affect me, a person who is building a foundation. Now my granddaughter is in Wang Tong's hands. Since he specifically wants to use you, then you should go and get my granddaughter back."
"A powerful foundation-building expert is actually threatened by a small county lieutenant at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
After Tian Lin finished his sarcasm, Elder Xiao kicked Tian Lin away.
Tian Lin spit out blood and stood up. Elder Xiao was about to step forward and kick him again, but fortunately the man in green robe and Han Yue had already come down the mountain.
Then the green-robed man shouted, "Master, please don't harm his life. We still need to use him to exchange for our junior sister."
As soon as the man in green robe ran over, he was slapped to the ground by Elder Xiao.
Elder Xiao stepped on the green-robed man's chest and said in a grim tone:
"Junior sister, you still know that Xiao Hong is your junior sister. What did I tell you before I went into seclusion? I asked you to take good care of her, and how did you do it?"
Elder Xiao treated his disciple even more cruelly than he treated Tian Lin. He stomped on the green-robed man’s left arm and said:
"I won't say any more nonsense. Bring your sister and the heads of Wang Tong's entire clan to see me."
After he finished speaking, he finally removed his foot from the chest of the man in green robe. He looked at Tian Lin, then snorted coldly and left. When he reached the foot of the mountain, only Tian Lin and the man in green robe were left.
"Brother Lu, you need to find a way to cure your arm."
Han Yue was originally hiding behind a tree. After Elder Xiao left, she ran over and picked up the broken arm of the man in green robe.
Unfortunately, the broken arm had been trampled into a pulp. If one wanted to completely reconnect the body, one would have to use high- or low-grade elixirs.
But elixirs are only available to inner disciples or elders. It is obviously impossible for Elder Xiao to heal the green-robed man, so Han Yue said:
"Let's go find Senior Brother Xing to find a solution. He will definitely be willing to help you."
"No need for that. It's my fault that I was obsessed with the idea of running out of the sect to do missions in order to earn spirit stones, and my junior sister was dragged into this mess. It was right for Master to cut off my arm - if I can't save my junior sister, not to mention my arm, my head will be useless."
The man in the green robe got up. He thought the broken arm was ugly, so he simply used his right hand to tear off the broken arm along with the shoulder.
Tian Lin was coughing and eating a root to heal his wounds while asking the man in green robes, "Brother Lu, are you going to take me to exchange for Sister Xiao now?"
The man in green robe used his true Qi to stop the blood from his left shoulder and said to Tian Lin:
"I know Junior Brother Tian is very wronged, but it is difficult to disobey Master's order, so I have to ask Junior Brother Tian to accompany me."
He added, "Brother Tian, don't worry. The man surnamed Wang is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. As long as we can find him, we can successfully rescue Sister Xiao, and I can also guarantee your life."
"Senior Sister Xiao also had a hand in the death of County Lieutenant Wang's parents. How could Wang Tong let Senior Sister Xiao go? I'm afraid there is a trick here. County Lieutenant Wang is just using Senior Sister Xiao as bait to trick you and me into going there to die."
"Brother Tian, there is no need to say anything. Regardless of whether it is a trick or not, we cannot escape this. Now you will accompany me to the Qinghe County Government Office."
As he spoke, he grabbed Tian Lin with one arm and walked out.
Three horses had been prepared not far away and were tied to a tree stump, waiting for the three people.
Tian Lin did not resist. He mounted his horse and followed the man in green robe out of the sect.
The horses were on the official road. Tian Lin looked at the sky. The red sun was rising. Although he could see the Yaoyue Sect from afar, it was still far away from the Sect.
He firmly believed that this trip to Qinghe County Government was a scam, so how could he go to die with Senior Brother Lu?
But just as he reached into his arms, a voice exploded in his mind:
"Boy, do you want to die now or later?"
Tian Lin was no stranger to this voice, and he quickly looked around.
In front of him was Senior Brother Lu riding a horse, and behind him was Han Yue watching him. Where was Elder Xiao?
Tian Lin asked Senior Brother Lu in front of him, "Since Senior Sister Xiao is Elder Xiao's beloved granddaughter, wouldn't it be safer for her to rescue people with us?"
Senior Brother Lu didn't need to answer this question. Han Yue said behind him:
"Before you, my master had already been to Qinghe County Court. But the Qinghe County Court did not want to see Wang Tong. I guess Wang Tong would not come out unless you showed up."
Tian Lin seemed to be thinking about something; he was not in a hurry to escape now.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to leave Yaoyue Sect.
Firstly, the Daoshan Fantasy Realm of Yaoyue Sect is a good place, and Tian Lin is reluctant to leave.
Secondly, after leaving Yaoyue Sect, it would be difficult for him to obtain high-quality spells. Even the Grass God Fish and Three-legged Toad used to refine the "Chasing Wind Pill" and "Dragon Elephant Body Refining Pill" were hard to find.
Therefore, Tian Lin certainly did not want to leave Yaoyue Sect unless it was absolutely necessary.
He thought that going to Qinghe County Government Office would be like committing suicide, so he was unwilling to go to Qinghe County Government Office.
But now it seems that Elder Xiao is obviously not confident in his and Senior Brother Lu's strength, and is also afraid that Wang Tong will cheat. So he hides in the dark, planning to openly repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang.
"In fact, since Senior Sister Xiao and I are from the same school and she treats me well, there is no need for Elder Xiao to tell me to do so. Can I just sit back and watch her fall into danger?"
Tian Lin is now calm and composed. He can't escape anyway, so he might as well say some free words.
He felt that this piece of nonsense might not fool Elder Xiao, but Senior Brother Lu believed what Tian Lin said and said in front:
"Junior Brother Tian is so righteous. If I had known that Junior Brother Tian is so reasonable, I wouldn't have to be the bad guy at Baihua Peak. As long as Junior Sister Xiao can be rescued, Lu will make amends for you on behalf of the master."
Tian Lin stopped talking nonsense after hearing that. He felt that based on what Senior Brother Lu just said, there was no way he could put his arm back.
The three men and three horses galloped along the official road and arrived at the Qinghe County Government Office in just one day.
But at this time, hundreds of yamen runners had died in the Qinghe County Yamen. All of them were beheaded with a single sword, leaving no one alive.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground in the front and back yards, the three of them stopped in front of a wall and saw the words written on the wall:
"First I will pay you with the lives of two hundred and thirty men, and then I will make sure that you will never be at peace."
"It is indeed the style of the Blood Cult. They will not even let go of innocent people such as women, children, the elderly and the young. Such a cruel and ruthless person should be killed by everyone."
After Senior Brother Lu finished speaking angrily, he raised his hand and knocked down the wall with a palm.
The wall collapsed. Looking at Senior Brother Lu's angry face, Han Yue thought for a moment and reminded him quietly:
"Brother Lu, be careful that Master hears what you said - look at the words on the wall, they seem to be Master's handwriting."
After hearing these words, Senior Brother Lu was stunned, and Tian Lin couldn't help but be stunned as well.
He heard on the way that Elder Xiao had been here, but he didn't expect that Elder Xiao's visit would bring disaster to the entire county government.
Seeing that Senior Brother Lu was stunned, Tian Lin knew that Elder Xiao was hiding in the dark, and it was not a good time to delay for these trivial matters, so he opened his mouth and said:
"It's strange. Wang Tong wanted us to come to the county government office. Now that we are here, he is hiding there. Will he be scared away by Elder Xiao's tricks?"
Just as he finished speaking, a little beggar walked in from outside the county government office. The beggar had a painting in his hand and was looking at the painting while sizing up the fields and forests.
When Tian Lin looked at the little beggar, the little beggar said:
"You are Master Tian, right? A master said that if I give this thing to you, you can accept me as your disciple."
As he spoke, he unbuckled his belt and pulled out a tightly hidden letter from his crotch.
