The 100% natural gas

Chapter 209: Heavy casualties, murderous intent arises again!
Gaoliu outer city, Linjiangfang.

Lin Yan returned to Linjiang Division in the identity of Wuchang.

Yang Zhubu's hair was gray and his face looked older than before, but he was no longer as haggard as he was last time.

On the contrary, this scholar-clerk who had never learned martial arts had a little more determination in his eyes and a more ruthless look.

"It seems that you are under a lot of pressure after I left." Seeing this, Lin Yan roughly understood the current situation of Linjiang Division.

"Beyond Linjiangfang, the city is being expanded. The various materials involved involve interests so wide that people are willing to take risks and risk their lives." Yang Zhubu rubbed his brows and said, "It was okay when the Fifth Master was here. He used thunderous means, blood flowed everywhere, and he was able to control the situation..."

"I am not leaving Gaoliu City openly. On the surface, I am still here." Lin Yan raised his eyebrows.

"But the Fifth Master is not here after all." Yang Zhubu sighed, "For example, outside Gaoliu City, within a hundred miles, it is all Liu Zun's territory! But Liu Zun's real body is only in the city after all. As for outside the city, it is too far away, and the willow branch night lamp may not be effective..."

"Inner City Sky Supervisor, where is the person sent to take over?" Lin Yan frowned.

"Not everyone is the Fifth Master." Yang Zhubu whispered, "They couldn't bear the pressure, so they didn't dare to deal with it head-on. They just secretly collected evidence!"

"Where is the evidence?" Lin Yan asked.

"After all, the Linjiang Division can't hold the inner city." Yang Zhubu whispered, "The Tianjian Division suffered heavy losses on this trip to the ancient ruins. They are short of manpower, and even the commander lost an arm. Their strength has been greatly reduced. At present, the momentum of Gaoliu City Tianjian Division has weakened a lot."

"Is Inspector Wuchang here?"

At this moment, a voice came from outside.

Lin Yan glanced outside.

Yang Zhubu hurried to greet him.

The next person to come in was the old chief of the commander.

"I came out of the inner city and was intercepted and killed twice on the way, but I have fulfilled my mission."

The old leader waved his hand and threw out a box, saying, "The commander asked me to deliver this. It seems to involve the lives of many people. Many people are fighting for it at the risk of their lives."

"Where did the killer come from?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

“As soon as he made his move, he introduced himself.” The old boss said with a smile: “Of course, I introduced myself as Jie Jin.”

"The Heavenly Supervisor has become so weak?" Lin Yan frowned slightly. "They assassinated you openly in the city?"

"So, the Tianjian Division must restore its prestige. Many people lost their hands this time, and the commander lost an arm. It is inevitable that people will look down on them." The old chief smiled and said, "When I set out, the commander was already in the inner city with his sword... As for the big flag in the outer city, can you hold it?"

"Hasn't it always been me who has to carry it?"

When Lin Yan opened the box, he saw the letter on the top, which was soaked in blood.

"It took the lives of two Zhaoye people hiding in the city, a flag bearer, and six small flags to get this letter back."

The old chief said calmly, "I still remember that it was Chief Yuan, who was temporarily taking over the Linjiang Division, who led people to meet them."

Yang Zhubu whispered, "Minister Yuan stopped a masked man and was seriously injured... Meng Lu and his men brought back the information."

Seeing that Yang Zhubu was hesitant to speak, Lin Yan vaguely understood something.

"What about people?"

"Zou Jin died, Zheng Liu's right leg was broken, and Meng Lu was seriously injured." Yang Zhubu sighed, "Later, Yuan Zhushi blocked the enemy alone, and Meng Lu carried Zheng Liu on his back, tied up Zou Jin's body, and dragged it all the way back... Fortunately, Xiaohui brought the small flag of the Outer South Division and went to rescue him in time, so Meng Lu saved his life, but he suffered twelve knife wounds and has not yet recovered."

"Put it in place properly." Lin Yan had a blank expression on his face. His face twitched as he looked at the box.

"It has been done. Their families have been settled and the pension has been sent. Meng Lu is recuperating in the Wai Nan Si." Yang Zhubu whispered.

"Collect the evidence of the crime. No matter who the people involved are, whether they are the people in power or the servants who got the benefits, leave no one behind!"

Lin Yan clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and said: "Today, I will turn Gaoliu City upside down and eliminate these ants!"

"Yes!"

Yang Zhubu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I have been waiting for the Fifth Master to return for so long, and now it is finally here!"

He held the box and immediately stepped back.

The old boss said calmly, "This time, we have to kill a lot of people."

Lin Yan said slowly: "My philosophy is that eliminating evil is doing good. Only by killing all those who deserve to die can we save more people who deserve to live!"

The old officer laughed and said, "Commander-in-chief, since you ordered me to deliver these things, I have given you full authority to deal with them."

Lin Yan closed his eyes slightly and asked, "How heavy is the Jie Jin in here?"

"There are quite a few people from Jie Jin mixed in, and there are also some new faces... I haven't even paid attention to them in the past."

The old boss thought for a moment and said, "But at best, they are just guides. The ones who really do the work are those who are qualified to reap the benefits here."

As he spoke, he heard the old chief ponder and say, "The great city guard is in seclusion, but the city guard's office is willing to cooperate with us to investigate everything in the city. A big reason for this is to cooperate with you, a genius."

Lin Yan said coldly: "If you really think highly of me, why would there be so many things?" "There are quite a few people buried in the ancient ruins this time. You did not return in time. There are rumors outside that you died in the ancient ruins."

The old master said: "Although you are already famous among the younger generation, after all, those who go to the ancient ruins are all high-ranking people from all sides, and there are many people at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm... It is not surprising that a genius died at the hands of a strong man."

He stroked his beard slightly and said, "But now that you have returned alive, I'm sure many people will be unable to sleep or eat well."

Lin Yan said in a deep voice: "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

The old master sighed, "If they are greedy for first-hand materials, they can be assured of a worry-free cultivation for ten, twenty, or even the rest of their lives! It is even more likely to allow them to reach a realm that was previously unattainable... Moreover, they have become accustomed to this practice for some time."

After a pause, the old boss said, "Don't forget that even if you defeat Xu Dingye and show your amazing talent, there are still some people in the city who think you are blocking the way and don't want you to grow!"

"There are also some guys who are about to die and want to use a large amount of resources to impact a higher level and extend their lifespan."

"You must be honest and upright. If you cut off their source of income, you will also destroy their livelihood."

"For them, this is a battle of greatness and a battle of life and death."

As the old master said this.

Lin Yan thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Then let them die."

-

Linjiangfang, Chunxiaolou.

The young man in white looked at the wine in the glass, took a sniff, and was quite intoxicated.

"As expected, the wine shipped from Fengcheng is the most delicious. It is much better than the one brewed in Gaoliu City."

“I heard that this exploration of the ancient sites has benefited a lot. Some of them have also learned the skills of ancient winemaking and are trying to replicate the ancient wine making.”

“I don’t know when I can drink it.”

He felt a little emotional, looked at the man beside him, and asked, "Yu Lin is dead, but there is no movement in the city?"

"Not yet."

The man in green bowed and said, "My lord, this Wu Chang has even killed the disciple of the Holy Land's envoy. It looks like Gao Liu City will be flooded with blood again..."

"As expected."

Li Xuantong said: "The commander of Gaoliu City is about to die. Now that the Tianjian Division is weak, it is natural to strengthen its prestige! However, it involves too many people and may be difficult to deal with..."

He stood up, leaned against the railing, looked in the direction of Linjiang Division, and said: "Actually, from the perspective of Qifeng Mansion, it's good to have such a person..."

"The eldest son will take over the position of Qifeng Mansion in the future. This person can be a loyal and righteous man." The man in green said with a smile.

"He is loyal, upright, and kind-hearted. We should toast him."

Li Xuantong raised his glass, drank it all, and said, "It's a pity that you are not smart enough."

"What do you mean, young master?"

"If you are a smart person, you should not turn against those old guys at this time, but go along with them to gain more benefits and make yourself stronger."

Li Xuantong smiled and said, "When those old guys die, he will profit from them and will surely become the strongest! In the future, won't he be the one to set the rules?"

The man in green whispered, "So, this guy is not really that smart."

Li Xuantong added: "In fact, from the overall perspective, the commander should hold Wuchang down and not let him take action."

"Why?"

"Gao Liu City lost a lot of strong people in the incident of the ancient monument."

"You mean, there shouldn't be any more losses?"

"Of course." Li Xuantong said: "Liu Zun is in deep sleep, and now the upper class of Gaoliu City is the one in power... If the one in power dies, wouldn't it be leaderless, which will lead to greater chaos."

"So do you want to take action?" asked the young man.

"Let him kill. The more he kills, the more chaos Gaoliu City will have." Li Xuantong put his hands behind his back and said, "I have taken over the power and expanded the new city. My achievements are outstanding. In the future, I will succeed the governor of Qifeng Prefecture. The situation will be basically stable."

"No wonder the eldest master has been staying in Gaoliu City and is unwilling to leave." The young man couldn't help but laugh.

"However, if the commotion gets too big, I'm afraid this Wuchang will not have a good ending."

Li Xuantong looked outside the city and sighed, "In fact, the expansion of the new city and the acceptance of a group of lower-class humans are just more food for the people... In my opinion, it is more cost-effective to have one more top-notch expert!"

He threw the wine glass aside and said, "But people have different ideas. In Wuchang's eyes, the life of a Qi Refiner is no different from the life of an ordinary citizen... He is too impulsive. I can use this person in the future, but he can't be used by me. So this time, I don't need to help him. I will wait and see what happens."
