Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 86 - Uncle Liu is Arrested
The black cat darted quickly through the streets and soon arrived in front of a house.

The black cat sniffed the air and frowned in a human-like manner.

He came to see Liu Yonghuai.

Xiang will definitely search his house in the early morning, and there's a high probability that he will connect it to his true identity and then find someone to threaten him.

Lin Le wasn't too worried about his father's and mother's families. Lin Chang'an was born in the countryside and fled to the city after suffering a disaster in his early years. He didn't know where his parents and brothers had gone.

He should be very grateful to Xiang for finding him in the early hours of the morning.

As for their mother, Huang Qinyu, only her older brother was still alive, making a living in the prefectural city.

They couldn't catch him even at dawn.

The only problem now is Liu Yonghuai, who is a close friend of the father, a fact known to everyone in the county government.

Given Xiang Lingchen's personality, he would definitely kill a hundred innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free.

So Lin Le came over to take Liu Yonghuai's family to avoid the limelight.

But to everyone's surprise, Liu Yonghuai was not at home.

Forget it, let's take the others away first. We can take Liu Yonghuai last, since he has to stay alive to threaten him.

After counting the heads and confirming that Liu Yonghuai's family was all there, Lin Le carefully recalled a spell from the Hundred Spells Record called the Slumber Spell.

As the name suggests, it's specifically designed to help people fall asleep.

Lin Le circulated his true qi and experimentally gave himself a boost. He felt a little drowsy, but he quickly got rid of it.

feasible.

Lin Le used a hallucinogenic spell to blind the Liu family members, and then cast a sedation spell on each of them in turn.

They immediately lay down and fell asleep.

Reverting to human form, Lin Le carried them away.

Soon, Lin Le settled them in a large inn. To be on the safe side, he also had the Yin-Yang Twin Swords hung on the roof beams in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

On the other side, after listening to his subordinates' report, Xiang Lingchen said coldly, "So, Lin Le has no relatives here?"

"Yes," the constable in charge of answering replied tremblingly.

Xiang Lingchen rubbed his fingers together: "Are there any good friends among them?"

“There is one.” The constable glanced at Wei Zhenshan subconsciously. “Liu Yonghuai, the registrar of the county magistrate’s office.”

"Where is he?" Xiang Lingchen asked.

"It has been brought to you," the constable replied.

Xiang Ling nodded slightly: "Immediately detain him and announce it throughout the city. He will be executed in a few days!"

The constable asked instinctively, "What's the charge, sir?"

"Colluding with rebels is an unforgivable crime!" Xiang Lingchen said, waving his sleeve.

"Yes." The constable was about to leave when Xiang Lingchen suddenly called him back.

"Wait, take Liu Yonghuai to the ancestral home and have my father guard him," Xiang Lingchen said uncertainly.

He suddenly remembered Lin Le's ability to evade the suppression of imperial aura. If he wanted to break into the prison, probably no one could stop him.

"Yes."

On the rooftops of the county town, a black cat ran swiftly. Suddenly, it stopped abruptly, its emerald green eyes reflecting the image of Liu Yonghuai being escorted.

Are you late?

Lin Le scratched his chin with his paw, feeling a little puzzled, mainly because the speed was too fast.

It had only been a morning, and Xiang Lingchen and his men had already captured Liu Yonghuai.

Lin Le felt slightly relieved that he had managed to move Liu Yonghuai's family away first, otherwise saving one person and saving a group of people would be two completely different things.

'Let's rescue them and then find out what happened.'

Lin Le transformed back into a human and sped towards Liu Yonghuai.

But just as he had expected, Xiang Lingchen was monitoring the area in real time, waiting for him to walk right into their trap.

He had just rushed within two hundred feet of Liu Yonghuai when an imperial aura began to suppress him. Lin Le ignored it and charged directly at the procession escorting Liu Yonghuai, a golden ring appearing in his hand.

He poured in his true energy, and the Qiankun Ring shot out, heading towards a constable.

boom!
Suddenly, a long spear thrust out, knocking the Qiankun Ring back.

Lin Le frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar constable who had suddenly made his move, but the icy aura he exuded quickly made him recognize who he was.

Towards dawn?!

'They're really cautious; they even disguised themselves as escorts and waited for me to arrive.'

Retracting the Qiankun Ring, Lin Le took six steps in a row, and seven Lin Les rushed towards Xiang Lingchen and the others.

Suddenly, Xiang Lingchen raised a bead, and the bead suddenly emitted light.

Six of the seven Lin Les immediately dissipated, leaving only one that was lunging at Liu Yonghuai's true form.

Lin Le immediately knew that the illusion had been broken, but he wasn't too surprised.

After all, Wei Zhenshan must have told Xiang Lingchen about his transformation ability, so it's not surprising that Xiang Lingchen prepared a way to counter it.

Seeing Liu Yonghuai approaching, Lin Le reached out to grab him.

As Lin Le approached, Liu Yonghuai revealed a strange smile.

He suddenly slapped Lin Le with his palm.

However, his sure-fire strike missed, and then he saw a mocking smile on Lin Le's face.

Seeing that Xiang Lingchen would disguise himself, Lin Le naturally became suspicious of Liu Yonghuai.

So he secretly used his Tiger Eye Technique to take a look.

Sure enough, this "Liu Yonghuai" was actually someone else in disguise.

With his palm ablaze, Lin Le slammed his fist down on this "Liu Yonghuai".

Flame Spell!
This basic Five Elements magic technique, learned from the Hundred Laws Record, unleashed its ultimate power under the blessing of Lin Le's True Qi.

The red flames surged like a tide, instantly engulfing the entire "Liu Yonghuai".

"what!"

The man immediately let out a painful howl.

Xiang Lingchen, who rushed over, frowned but ignored the person on fire and instead stabbed Lin Le with a gun.

Lin Le, however, lightly touched the ground with his toes and quickly retreated.

Xiang Lingchen certainly knew that he was no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

But if Xiang dared to set a trap alone in the early hours of the morning, he must have been confident.

Lin Le was somewhat wary, so it was best to leave first. Once he had fully entered the Seventh Floor, Xiang Lingchen's confidence would be useless.

Seeing Lin Le trying to run away, Xiang Lingchen immediately shouted angrily, "Lin Le, if you try to run away, I will have Liu Yonghuai killed right now!"

Lin Le stopped on a rooftop, but his expression showed no sign of tension: "Xiang Lingchen, you don't think you're the only one who knows how to take hostages, do you?"

"Don't forget how your daughter and son died?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Lingchen's eyes widened in fury: "You really killed my children?!"

"Who else could it be but me?" Lin Le shrugged. "I remember you have two sons, right? If they die, you'll have no descendants."

"Hmph, I've already arranged for my father to come out of seclusion. Do you think he can kill them?" Xiang Lingchen sneered.

"Just an old man who's about to die," Lin Le scoffed. "Can he protect someone for a while, or for a lifetime?"

"And if you're so capable, then kill. You've already killed my parents, so what if one more unrelated uncle dies?" Lin Le looked at Xiang Lingchen with a sinister smile. "I want to see if your Xiang family can survive faster, or if I can kill faster!"

"Now, release Liu Yonghuai, and I can preserve the last bloodline of your Xiang family! Otherwise, your Xiang family..."

Lin Le turned and left, but his voice was firm and resolute.

"Leave no chickens or dogs behind!"
