I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 148 The Last Trip to the Martial World (Fourth Update)
The Lin Family Residence.

Rain curtain.

A figure stood in the rain without an umbrella. The sky was dark, but not a single drop of rain wet the person's shoulder.

There were no guards around, and not even a maid serving tea could be seen.

Su Wuwo stood by the roadside, looking down at the carp below.

In fact, as long as he has this desire.

At this point, the Lin family was already in a state of bloodshed.

But Lin Buren knew very well that Su Wuwo would never slaughter the Lin clan.

What trapped him in Langya and the fifth level of Wujian was none other than his own guilt.

“You’re getting old, aren’t you? You’re heartless.” Su Wuwo stared at the other person reflected in the water.

“You don’t seem to have changed much,” Lin Buren said in a low voice.

"Having been imprisoned for so long, what changes could possibly occur?" Su Wuwo chuckled in a low voice. "For me, it's been the same for over a decade, so it's hard for my mindset to age too much."

"So, you're still living in yesterday?"

Su Wu did not answer, but instead took out the box from his pocket and placed it on the railing.

"If I die, bury this in front of my grave."

Lin Buren frowned slightly: "Does it really have to be done this way?"

“Someone brought this to me, which proves that they have found out about that incident from back then. Whether I come out or not, this matter will definitely not be kept secret.”

Su Wuwo said calmly, "Anyway, I've lived long enough. If I stay in prison any longer, I'll really become a cripple. Lin Chongxiao has been waiting for so many years, hasn't he always wanted my life? I should give him this chance."

Lin Buren slowly exhaled: "I have been investigating what happened back then."

Su Wuwo shook his head: "What good is finding out? The dead cannot be brought back to life."

Lin Buren remained silent, his thoughts slowly drifting back to more than a decade ago.

Lin Chongxiao and Su Wuwo were once close friends who ventured out into the martial world together. They fought side by side at Yumen Pass and forged a deep friendship. The reason why the two went from being best friends to being mortal enemies was because of the death of one of them.

Lin Chongxiao's younger sister, and Lin Buren's older sister.

Lin Yue... In this generation of the Lin family, this woman was not particularly outstanding, but she was still a Lin family woman. She should have been married at the age of eighteen, but she waited until she was over twenty years old before getting married.

This was so that Su Wuwo could come and marry her.

Su Wuwo promised to attend the wedding, but he didn't. Lin Yue waited for three days in her wedding dress, but Su Wuwo still didn't arrive.

By the time Lin Chongxiao returned, Lin Yue had already hanged herself.

This matter seems simple, just a love triangle, but there's more to it than that.

At that time, Su Wuwo was young and had successively topped the list of the Crouching Dragon List and the Human List. He was the senior disciple of the Fuguang Sect, a master of a thousand-year lineage, and a genius. He entered the Grandmaster level at the age of twenty-four and was expected to become the next Heavenly Master.

However, just as Su Wuwo was in high spirits, he saved a girl in a good deed. On a whim, he went to the night market with her, bought her a gift, and then left... Just half a month later, rumors spread throughout the martial arts world that this girl was Su Wuwo's ​​sweetheart. A girl of ordinary background and appearance was caught up in the storm of public opinion and was even kidnapped by a demon.

Su Wuwo tracked the other party all the way to the depths of the grassland, and finally brought back a not-so-complete corpse, the face of which was charred black.

This planted a seed of inner demons in Su Wuwo, leaving him distraught for a long time.

He killed many people who spread rumors, causing a great deal of trouble and ruining the reputation of Emperor Fuguang.

To make matters worse, in order to track down his target, Su Wuwo secretly took away the Fiery Cloud Beast of the Fuguang Sect and clashed with a top expert on the Earth Ranking on the grassland. Although he successfully broke into the Earth Ranking, the sacred beast was injured and eventually perished.

The newly born sacred beasts also disappeared due to the sudden death of the old sacred beasts.

Enraged, the sect leader of Fuguang Sect expelled him from the sect, and Fuguang Sect entered a period of decline.

When Su Wuwo returned to Southern Chu, he discovered that rumors were spreading everywhere that he had eloped with another woman.

Lin Yue waited for him in vain, but he never came. Feeling abandoned, she hanged herself in despair.

In almost six months, Su Wuwo lost everything: love, friendship, family, teachers...

At that time, Lin Chongxiao kowtowed before Lin Yue's grave and swore that he would make Su Wuwo atone for his sins with his death, but he was not strong enough at the time.

Su Wuwo felt guilty and was imprisoned in the fifth level of the Infernal Realm, where he made a pact with the other party.

When I emerge from the Abyss, it will be the day I face Lin Chongxiao in a life-or-death battle.

……

Lin Buren was not without anger.

Lin Yue is Lin Chongxiao's younger sister, so they have a deep bond.

Lin Buren, a cousin from the same branch of the family, was relatively calmer.

Lin Buren always felt that the incident more than ten years ago was too coincidental, so he had been investigating it in secret.

This was by no means an accident; it was as if a hand was stirring up trouble in the dark, deliberately setting up this scheme.

The conspiracy's mastermind's target appears to be Su Wuwo, but in reality, it may be aimed directly at Emperor Guangzong and the Langya Lin Clan.

It goes without saying what would happen if Su Wuwo and Lin Yue got married, given the alliance between these two forces.

Su Wuwo certainly bears some responsibility; indeed, most of the problems originated with him, but he was not the primary culprit.

No matter how Lin Buren investigated that incident back then, he couldn't find any answers.

All clues have been lost.

But then, more than a decade later, someone sent this wooden box... Inside the box was the very windmill from back then.

This is clearly a trap.

Lin Buren suddenly realized something and looked at Su Wuwo: "Wait, could it be..." Su Wuwo glanced at him, and in an instant, Lin Buren felt cold all over, as if a cold blade was held to his neck, but the feeling disappeared without a trace the next moment.

Don't overthink it.

Su Wuwo reverted to his indifferent attitude, as if he had seen through life and death: "Everything I've done is my own fault, I have no one to blame but myself."

He gazed at the horizon, looking completely at ease.

"Having watched for so long, shouldn't you all come out by now?"

A group of figures had surrounded the area without anyone noticing.

The Lin family, a prestigious clan with a thousand-year history, could not possibly lack a solid foundation. If the clan truly only had one Grandmaster, Lin Chongxiao, to hold the fort, they would have been devoured long ago.

The previous head of the family is still alive and well, but he no longer travels the martial world; instead, he has retired to the background.

Elders, guest ministers, former family heads—more than a dozen people appeared at the same time, forcing Lin Buren to clasp his hands and retreat.

“Su Wuwo, go back to the fifth level of the Infernal Realm now, or leave Langya altogether... We won’t stop you, and we’ll even help you stop Lin Chongxiao.” The former patriarch stood there, like a towering ancient tree.

Su Wuwo smiled faintly: "If I do not die today, the Lin family will surely suffer disaster."

"In that case, I cannot keep you here."

"Please, old patriarch." Su Wuwo handed the wooden box to Lin Buren, then turned and said, "Give me, a man of the martial world, my last journey in the martial world, and leave me with some dignity... Don't let me die of old age in prison."

……

In the peach blossom grove, Lin Jiaolu held a sword, with a sparrow perched in his hand.

She had always been unable to calm down and could only vent her emotions by wielding her sword.

"Miss, please take a rest."

A maid approached and said, "Miss, Madam requests your presence in the study."

Lin Jiaolu paused her sword, took the towel from Feixue's hand to wipe her sweat, looked at the maid, and asked curiously, "Does Mother have a maid like you?"

The maid blinked. "I'm Chun Ya. Has Miss forgotten me?"

Lin Jiaolu looked at Feixue: "Is there such a person?"

Feixue said, "This..."

Feixue felt that Lin Jiaolu didn't want to go and was deliberately making excuses to delay, so she also said, "I forgot too."

Chun Ya stood there somewhat dejectedly, looking completely lost.

“Here’s what you do. Go back and tell your mother that I’ll be there in a bit.”

"But Miss, Madam seems very anxious..."

Chun Ya said a few words, then realized she couldn't persuade him, so she turned and took her leave.

Just as she turned and took a few steps, a sharp aura struck, piercing towards Chun Ya's vest, while another sword light slashed directly at her neck.

The two swords, poised to strike, were both meant to be deadly, but both missed their mark.

Spring Sprout's silhouette appeared as if it were an illusion, suddenly appearing a dozen steps away in the blink of an eye.

"...Strange." The maid touched her face. "How did you see through me? What went wrong with my disguise?"

"I didn't see through it," Lin Jiaolu said. "It was just a test."

"A test might turn deadly?" The maid narrowed her eyes. "It seems you've taken precautions beforehand."

Lin Jiaolu remained silent, secretly clutching the message she had just received.

The magpie carries a message.

The message was delivered in Ning Jianshuang's handwriting.

The message was simple—it had no face or form.

He is ranked seventy-ninth on the list of assassins, one of the most dangerous assassins in the world, with an ever-changing appearance that is almost flawless.

Unfortunately, we had only just received the news when the other party had already come looking for us.

Otherwise, she would have had a perfect opportunity to notify other people.

"Now that your identity has been exposed, aren't you going to run away?" Lin Jiaolu said calmly, "This is the Lin family."

“No need for Miss Lin to trouble herself.” The faceless and ethereal man stroked the maid’s face. “If it were the Lin family of the past, I would naturally not dare to be so bold. However, the situation is more complicated now, and I’m afraid I don’t have time to take care of things here.”

Lin Jiaolu frowned: "My Lin family is not so short of people as to be that desperate."

"It seems Miss Lin is unaware of the chaos that has unfolded outside." The Faceless One cracked his knuckles. "It's alright, I'll tell you slowly as we peel the skin later... But today, Miss Lin must die, and your death will bring this drama to its climax!"

"Miss, please go and inform the others." Feixue stepped forward with a look of grim determination: "I'll stop her."

"What a joke." The faceless and formless man shook his head and chuckled: "You think you can stop me with just a mere first level of the Finger Profound Realm? It only takes me three breaths to kill you."

Lin Jiaolu had just tried to call for help, but there was no response... It seemed that all the bodyguards and assassins in the house had been transferred away.

It's also possible that it was already dealt with beforehand by the faceless and formless.

Just as the faceless and formless were sharpening their knives, ready to strike.

A voice rang out, resounding and perfectly timed.

"They can't do it."

"Then let me try?"
