Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Chapter 82: Block by a single sword

"So, the information I obtained at great cost and used to get Shen Nanqi to bring you along for this mission with Ye Qingyu, you didn't even say a word to her the whole time?"

Fang Zehou leaned back in his chair, expressionless.

Fang Heling stood straight, "Ye Qingyu comes from a noble background and looks down on others. She kept herself separate from everyone else the whole time. I think it's better to remain silent than to deliberately provoke her and make her dislike us. This way, even though she won't have a good impression of us, at least we still have the bond of fighting together."

"Do you know that with just one word from Ye Qingyu, our business in the Yun Kingdom could expand a hundredfold?" Fang Zehou asked.

"So, with just one word, she could completely cut off the trade routes you worked so hard to establish in the Yun Kingdom," Fang Heling replied.

Fang Zehou remained noncommittal, "Li Gongfeng is ready for you to go cultivate with him."

Fang Heling turned and left.

It wasn't until his son's noticeably thinner figure disappeared into the distance that Fang Zehou's face finally showed a smile.

"My son...has grown up!"

Sanfen Fragrant Pavilion.

Zhu Weiwo had rented out an entire floor and was drinking alone.

Although he was in a brothel, there wasn't a girl in his arms.

The girls in sheer veils were singing and dancing on the stage, and the famous Xianjin Spear was leaning against the table.

His gaze was slightly unfocused, lost in thought.

Pouring his own wine and enjoying his own company.

Jiang Wang walked up the stairs at this moment and clearly paused for a moment.

He had thought that someone as flamboyant as Zhu Weiwo would be surrounded by women and indulging in debauchery in the Sanfen Fragrant Pavilion. He didn't expect him to simply be drinking and watching the performances.

Seeing Jiang Wang, Zhu Weiwo lifted an eyebrow, not saying anything, but his aura was already overwhelming.

"Senior Zhu," Jiang Wang got straight to the point. "I have a request."

Zhu Weiwo downed a cup of wine, his expression playful. "What makes you think I would help you?"

He didn't ask what the request was or why Jiang Wang came to him because he genuinely didn't care.

There weren't many things in Qinghe County that were worth his attention.

"I believe you are the senior brother of the Maple Forest City Dao Academy, and I am Jiang Wang of the Maple Forest City Dao Academy," Jiang Wang said.

He didn't mention their acquaintance from the battle with Xiong Wen because they both knew it well. Jiang Wang had benefited from it, and Zhu Weiwo didn't owe him anything.

Zhu Weiwo laughed, "You think you're worth betting on? Do you think I need to bet on a newly entered disciple like you?"Jiang Wang was not ashamed of being underestimated, because the current Zhu Weiwo did have the qualifications.

He just said, "The second reason is that Lin Zhengren's behavior is very annoying. Senior Brother Zhu, you are busy with important matters and don't want to bother with him. But it's not a bad idea for me, your junior, to disgust him a little."

Zhu Weiwo did not comment and reached out to pat his long spear. "Do you recognize this spear?"

"The brilliance of the Xin Jin spear, I will never forget it in this lifetime."

"For the first thirty years, it was just a worthless piece of wood lying in the mountains. It was picked up by a woodcutter as firewood, but it burned for thirty years and still did not burn out. Later, a famous craftsman heard about this and bought it for a fortune, adding extraterrestrial iron to make it into a long spear. That's the origin of the Xin Jin spear." Zhu Weiwo asked, "What do you think when you hear this story?"

"I'm thinking that the woodcutter who got a fortune must have had an unfortunate ending." Jiang Wang sighed, "He suddenly had a fortune of a fortune, but he did not have the strength to keep it."

Zhu Weiwo smiled, "Come, let's drink."

...

On the third day of December.

A light boat sailed down the Green Willow River and into the Qing River, passing through the Water Gate and entering Wangjiang City.

Since Zhu Weiwo single-handedly suppressed the city, the city guard was particularly vigilant towards boats coming from the direction of Maple Forest City.

There were three people on the boat, Jiang Wang, Ling He, and Zhao Rucheng.

He came out this time to fight for real, so his two life-and-death brothers naturally had to follow. If it weren't for Du Yehu being far away in Jiujing City and unable to be contacted, they wouldn't have missed this opportunity.

An An asked Huang Azhan to take care of things, so he had no worries.

Among the three, Jiang Wang had already laid the foundation and was constructing the second Dao rotation at a terrifying speed with the help of the Star River Dao. Of course, this terrifying speed was only relative to the construction time of the first Dao rotation.

Now Jiang Wang, without affecting his body, can complete up to four meridian breakthroughs a day, and the Star River Dao generates nine Dao elements per day. At this rate, he can construct the second Dao rotation in no more than a month.

In addition, besides Zhao Rucheng still in the meridian breakthrough stage, Ling He had also successfully laid the foundation.

He broke through in September 19th and laid the foundation on December 2nd, just one day before departure. For ordinary level Dao meridian true spirits cultivators, using the Gui Yuan Formation Diagram to lay the foundation, the maximum speed is to complete it in 41 days.

And Ling He is such an ordinary talent with the maximum foundation-laying speed.

This means that he never slackened in his cultivation, and never failed in moving the Dao elements!

This solid and terrifying foundation, reflected in his combat power, even though he had just laid the foundation, he was not inferior to ordinary foundation-laying cultivators.The three brothers entered the city and went straight to the small courtyard where Lin Zhenglu and Song Ruyi lived.

The information about this place was not difficult to find, and as Jiang Wang had expected, the courtyard was empty with no one in sight.

Song Ruyi's death was recorded as suicide by the officials of Wangjiang City. However, there were no records about the dowry she brought, the reason for her suicide, or anything else.

As a disciple of the Daoist Academy, Jiang Wang could access all this information.

Linghe and Jiang Wang separately asked the neighbors about Song Ruyi and Lin Zhenglu's relationship, but they all kept silent about it, which only raised more suspicions.

Although the matter was strange, the Lin family was the number one family in Wangjiang City. If no one pursued the matter, it would be left as it was.

But there were no walls that didn't let the wind through.

Zhao Rucheng went out for a walk and came back with all kinds of news.

He found out how Lin Zhenglu became the manager of the Lin family's medicinal materials business, how he became penniless, and moved to this small two-story courtyard. On the day of Song Ruyi's suicide, the two had a fierce quarrel...

It was clear that Lin Zhenglu couldn't escape responsibility for Song Ruyi's death.

Since Lin Zhenglu was not at home, he must be at the Lin family's residence.

...

In the east of Wangjiang City, a large area was designated as the Lin family's property.

A tall archway guarded the entrance, making it a city within a city.

At this moment, Jiang Wang and his brothers were standing in front of this city within a city.

"Stop!" Two Lin family guards stood in front of the archway, glaring angrily.

"I'm looking for Lin Zhenglu," Jiang Wang said.

"He's not here!"

"Really? Then I'll go in and look for him."

The guard was furious, "Is the Lin family's residence a place where you can just enter as you please?"

Zhao Rucheng sneered, "Are my legs on your body, so you can stop me as you please?"

Both sides were on the verge of a fight, ready to break out at any moment.

"Jiang Wang, think carefully!" A familiar figure walked out from the residence, his face wearing a cold smile of arrogance, "Breaking into the Lin family's residence is equivalent to declaring war on the Lin family, a fight to the death! Even the Daoist Academy won't protect you!"

If it wasn't Lin Zhengli, then who could it be?

"So, the Lin family's residence is not allowed to be trespassed? In that case..." Jiang Wang inexplicably laughed twice.

"Then you guys..."

He raised his eyebrows and drew his sword!

The dazzling sword light burst out and swept across in front of him, leaving a very thin and deep crack on the ground.

"None of you should leave!"

The number one family in Wangjiang City, the Lin family.

Was blocked by a single sword.
