73 Another Bastard Wants to Harm Me
“Wow, isn’t this too ruthless?”
“He just killed everyone within a thousand feet without even hesitating! This Governor Lin is really brutal.”
“Hmph, I’ve really underestimated him.”
“This sword attack has at least reached the Heavenly realm.”
…
In the distance, the crowd started whispering.
They were all shocked by Lin Wudao’s brutal actions.
A mere servant of the other party already possessed Heavenly realm strength. It seemed that Lin Wudao was even more mysterious and powerful than they had expected.
Whoosh!
After witnessing such a brutal method, the onlookers no longer dared to speak. They all kept quiet out of fear and left with different expressions.
Not long after, only Lin Wudao and the others were left standing.
“Governor…”
“Young master, I…”
Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan wanted to say something, but when they saw Lin Wudao’s extremely somber face, they swallowed their words.
“Let’s go to the Demon Subduing Division first.”
“Yes.”
The two didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately respectfully led Lin Wudao toward the Demon Subduing Division.
…
The Heavenly Fragrance Brothel was the City of Sin’s biggest money-squandering establishment.
It was a man’s heaven.
At this moment, in heaven room number one of the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel, a handsome man with an extraordinary temperament was enjoying the dance and music of countless women while drinking and having fun.
“Thump, thump, thump…”
Suddenly, a series of sharp knocks on the door broke the beautiful atmosphere.
Immediately after, an old man in linen clothing with a cold aura pushed the door open and walked in.
“Young master, Deputy Governor Lin Wudao of the Yuan State’s Demon Subduing Division has arrived at the City of Sin and saved Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan in front of everyone. In addition, he also ordered his subordinates to kill thousands of people who came to watch the show. According to the strength that person displayed, his cultivation should be at the early stage of the Heavenly realm. As for Lin Wudao himself, I can’t see through him,” The old man respectfully reported.
Upon hearing this, the handsome man hummed in agreement.
“Since Lin Wudao is here, let’s follow the plan. Immediately send an invitation to the Demon Subduing Division in the name of the Gongsun family. Invite Lin Wudao to attend my wedding ceremony in three days. At the same time, have someone prepare some healing medicine and send it over. Tell them that it’s a gift from the Gongsun family for Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan’s recovery. As long as Lin Wudao dares to come, I’ll make sure he dies without a burial ground.”
The handsome man’s face turned vicious.
Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to hesitate.
“Young master, Lin Wudao had merely been a cripple from Qing Yuan Ancient City previously. But I heard that after going to the Divine Ruins once, he soared and now possesses formidable power. From then on, he became increasingly haughty and lawless. I think we should still be careful,” He said softly.
To this, the handsome man sneered coldly, “Don’t worry. We’re only responsible for luring Lin Wudao into the trap. By then, the Netherworld Devil Sect experts will deal with him. Behind the Netherworld Devil Sect is the Dari Demonic Sect. How can a mere Lin Wudao overturn the heavens? This time, as long as we do what the eldest young master has ordered us to do, the Gongsun family’s strength and status will rise again. You and I will both obtain great benefits.”
At this point, the handsome man could not help but reveal a look of yearning in his eyes.
However, in contrast to his longing, the old man was somewhat worried.
“Young master, I think…”
“That’s enough, Elder Yun. Let’s operate according to our previous plan. If something happens, the Netherworld Devil Sect will take care of it. Besides, even if Lin Wudao is extremely powerful, our Gongsun family has a thousand years of history. We are not to be trifled with either,” The handsome man said with confidence.
Seeing this, although the old man was still uneasy, he could only follow the order.
“By the way, I remember that the Deputy Lord of the Demon Subduing Division, Chen Chunqiu, is currently in the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel, right?” At this moment, the handsome man seemed to have thought of something and asked.
“Yes, he is.”
“Alright then, go and tell them to detain Chen Chunqiu. Tell them that the Deputy Lord of the Demon Subduing Division has come to play with women in the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel but didn’t and refuses to pay. Then, spread the news and go to the Demon Subduing Division to get Lin Wudao to pay the bill. If he refuses to pay, we will kill Chen Chunqiu. Either way, the bigger the commotion, the better. I want the entire City of Sin to see the Demon Subduing Division and Lin Wudao as a joke. Hahaha,” The handsome man laughed wildly.
Hearing this, the old man wanted to say something, but when he saw the arrogance and confidence on the handsome man’s face, he did not dare to say anything.
After he bowed, he left the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel.
“Hmph, Lin Wudao is nothing. What’s there to fear?” After the handsome young man said that, he continued to seek pleasure.
…
Lin Wudao naturally had no idea about the conversation between the handsome man and the old man.
At this moment, led by Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan, he had arrived at the encampment of the Demon Subduing Division.
The Demon Subduing Division in the City of Sin was just a stronghold set up by the Demon Hunter Hall. In the City of Sin, which was full of evil and countless sins, it had no sense of existence at all.
When Lin Wudao arrived at the Demon Subduing Division, he was greeted with the sight of a dilapidated three-story loft. It occupied an area of less than a hundred feet and looked extremely shabby.
It didn’t match the prestige and bearing of the Demon Subduing Division at all.
Lin Wudao walked in after a few glances.
“Where are the people of the Demon Subduing Division?”
After entering the building, Lin Wudao frowned again when he saw that there was no decent demon subduing emissaries in the building except for a few old people.
“Governor, the current Demon Subduing Division has… has no one left. They either ran away in fear or were killed by the criminals of The City of Sin,” Zhao Mang gathered his courage and replied.
Ran away? Killed?
Lin Wudao’s face turned even more somber when he heard this.
...
“Wasn’t there a Deputy Lord, Chen Chunqiu? Was he killed as well?”
At this moment, He thought of Chen Taiji’s younger brother, Chen Chunqiu.
“Governor, Deputy Lord Chen was not killed, but… He went to the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel to pass the time.”
“Heavenly Fragrance Brothel?”
“Yes. The Heavenly Fragrance Brothel is the number one money-squandering establishment in the City of Sin. Not only does it have beautiful women, but the food there is also as good as Lingyun Pavilion. It also has other services. As long as you are willing to spend money, that place is a man’s heaven,” Zhao Mang explained softly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao’s expression turned cold.
“It seems that this Deputy Lord is not quite qualified…”
While they were talking, he walked to the main hall with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, in the shabby hall was a thin young man who exuded a determined aura. He was cleaning with all his might.
His cultivation was not high, only in the Arhat realm.
In the entire City of Sin, anyone would be stronger than him.
...
“Wei Chengyin, hurry over and pay your respects to Governor Lin!” Zhao Mang shouted.
The young man was so frightened that he quickly stopped what he was doing and came to Lin Wudao in fear. He bowed respectfully on the ground.
“Wei Chengyin pays his respects to the governor,” He said, kowtowing.
Wei?
Lin Wudao’s eyes flickered when he heard his name.
This surname was a little special because the royal family of the Li Dynasty had the surname “Wei”.
God’s Spiritual Eye swept over and information about Wei Chengyin was immediately displayed.
[Name: Wei Chengyin]
[Identity: The 18th Prince of the Li Dynasty]
[Cultivation: Early stage of the Arhat realm]
[Aptitude Bone: Taixuan Sword Bone (has been dug out)]
[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Cycle Scripture]
[Item: Qingfeng Sword]
[Lifespan: 36 years]
[Note: Born with the Taixuan Sword Bone, he had monstrous talent. Unfortunately, he was harmed by his family. When he was eight years old, his aptitude bone was forcibly dug out and he was expelled from the Li Dynasty’s Imperial City. He has been left to fend for himself.]
…
Hmm? His aptitude bone had actually been dug out?
Lin Wudao was a little surprised when he saw the information.
Not only was Wei Chengyin the 18th Prince of the Li Dynasty, but he had also suffered a miserable fate. How had he managed to survive all these years?
“Get up,” Lin Wudao said lightly and sat on the main seat, “Tell me about the situation in The City of Sin.”
“Yes.”
Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan looked at each other, then began to explain the situation in the City of Sin.
“Governor, there are three major forces in the City of Sin. They are the Netherworld Devil Sect, the Seven Kills Alliance, and the Villian Valley. These three forces have always been rivals and have been fighting for resources. Most of the criminals in the City of Sin Live under the three major forces. Other than that, I heard that the Dari Demonic Sect, Xuantian Sect, and Tianxin Sword Sect are supporting the three forces in the dark.”
…
Zhao Mang revealed all the information he knew.
After listening to all this, Lin Wudao’s expression was still indifferent, without any emotion.
Whoosh!
Just as everyone was silent, a spiritual boat landed outside the doors of the Demon Subduing Division.
