The wooden basin floated in the river, drifting downstream.

Seeing that no one was coming, Lin Feng immediately reached out and touched the corpses. The Black Lotus spun around and the two corpses disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then they continued to lie in wait, patiently waiting for their prey to come to them.

As long as someone wants to put out the fire, someone else has to fetch water.

Sure enough, a minute later, two more disciples from the Huang Family Martial Arts School rushed over.

One person was holding a wooden basin, and the other was holding a wooden bucket.

When the two arrived at the riverbank, they were puzzled to see the wooden basins and buckets floating in the river.

"Why don't I see Senior Brother Zhou and Senior Brother Mu?"

"I don't know, don't worry about that, just put out the fire."

"Okay, you go first, I'll go retrieve the wooden bucket from the river."

"Hurry up and do it!"

A man carrying a wooden basin rushed to put out the fire. Watching the man's departing figure, Lin Feng did not intervene and let him go.

After the other person retrieved the wooden bucket from the river, it was ready to be taken ashore.

Before I could even catch my breath, there was a whoosh.

An arrow pierced straight through his temple.

He died without ever knowing what happened.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, the black lotus instantly swallowed it up.

I hid behind the tree again and stayed there.

A short while later, the disciple who had just brought the wooden basin returned.

This time, however, he was alone.

When they arrived at the riverbank, they found it deserted, with only a wooden bucket on the ground.

"Gua Ge"

"Hey, where are you? Don't scare me!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he collapsed to the ground with a whoosh.

The body disappeared again.

Four people were already lying in ambush by the river.

Meanwhile, the fire at the Huang family gambling den grew larger and larger.

A robust, muscular, and thick-browed core disciple at the third level of Body Refinement, dressed in a light blue outfit, noticed that no one had yet put out the fire.

He was instantly furious.

"Where are they? Where have they all gone? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Brother Dong, the brothers went to the river and never came back, and there's been no sound from them."

Something must have happened. Now it's just the three of us left, and none of us dare to go over there.

"You three are useless trash. Who dares to mess with the Huang Family Martial Arts School? You stay where you are, the other two come with me."

"Yes"

Just to be on the safe side, all three of them took knives and headed towards the river.

Under the blazing firelight of the gambling den, Lin Feng recognized the leader from a distance at a glance.

It was Li Xiaodong, one of the managers of the gambling den, whose strength was at the mid-stage of the third level of Body Tempering.

Seeing this, Lin Feng did not continue to wait, but decided to strike first.

Several people had disappeared in succession, and Li Xiaodong was still carrying a knife, clearly indicating that he was on guard.

If the three of them come to search us in a little while, wouldn't we expose ourselves?

Now that he had the experience pack for the third level of Body Refinement, Lin Feng didn't plan to continue camping. He would kill them and leave.

If Li Xiaodong is killed by surprise, the other two will have no chance of escaping.

Although Lin Feng's cultivation at the third level of Body Refinement already placed him among the elite, the power of his Two Stone Bow was not to be underestimated.

His strength was greater than his; there was no way to dodge at close range.

Especially now, Li Xiaodong is exposed to the firelight, while Lin Feng is hidden in the darkness.

Under the cover of night, Lin Feng drew his bow and nocked an arrow, but when he was only ten paces away, he released his grip.

The arrow pierced the air with a slight, sharp sound.

The sounds of fire and clamor just masked the faint whistling of arrows; Li Xiaodong hadn't even reacted when he first heard the noise.

The cold arrow pierced Li Xiaodong's throat in an instant.

The other two disciples walking with him suddenly saw Li Xiaodong freeze.

"Brother Dong, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, another arrow shot out and pierced straight into the heart of the one who had spoken.

The last person who witnessed this scene was terrified and turned to flee.

But how could the speed of flesh and blood be faster than the arrows shot from those two stone bows?

He collapsed after running only a few steps.

After dealing with the three, Lin Feng quickly collected all the corpses.

Instead of continuing the ambush, they turned and disappeared into the night.

They hit and ran.

You can't stay here too long if you're setting up a nest.

The gambling den is on fire, and reinforcements will arrive quickly. At that point, it won't be easy for Lin Feng to leave.

Meanwhile, in the most luxurious brothel on Fengyue Street in the east of the city, there was Wangchun Pavilion.

Everyone stood by the window watching the spectacle.

Hong Que'er, the top courtesan of Wangchun Pavilion, sat in the lap of a handsome middle-aged man, gazing at the firelight outside the window, and couldn't help but say:

"Young Master Huang, it seems the gambling den is on fire."

"Impossible! Who would dare set fire to the Huang family's gambling den? They'd be courting death! They wouldn't dare even if they had a thousand lives!"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully;

This man was none other than Huang Shouren, the eldest son of the Huang Family Martial Arts School.

"Young Master Huang, I remember there was a three-story building near the Yongguan River, the gambling den."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"The building that caught fire was a three-story building."

"What?" Huang Shouren was stunned. He pushed Hong Que'er away and hurriedly went to the window to check.

Upon seeing it, his eyes turned bloodshot. "Damn it, the gambling den really is on fire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the clothes from the screen and jumped out of the window.

The Huang family gambling den was the most profitable business of the Huang family martial arts school, and it had always been under Huang Shouren's care.

This includes not only the Huang family's shares, but also the city lord's shares.

Now that it's on fire, it's going to be hard to explain.

When Huang Shouren arrived at the gambling den, the fire had already begun to spread, and all the buildings in the gambling den were on fire.

Huang Shouren's face turned pale, and he swayed. "It's over, it's all gone."

His face then darkened considerably, and he roared, "Where are all the people dead? Why isn't anyone putting out the fire?"

Soon, three men rushed over.

Now, only these three people remain in the gambling den: a core disciple at the third level of Body Refinement, and two guards at the second level of Body Refinement.

"How come there are only the three of you left? Where are all the others?"

"Young Master, all the other brothers just disappeared just now, and we haven't even found their bodies."

Huang Shouren's eyes flashed with anger. "Who did it?"

"Young Master, we found Junior Brother Lu's body in the backyard, along with a vest."

"Bring Lu Youtian's body here."

"Yes"

The two men didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ran to the backyard to carry Lu Youtian's body over.

Huang Shouren tore open Lu Youtian's clothes and saw the wound on his chest.

He probed with his hand, "The force of this strike is indeed the Tian Family Fist of the Tian Family Martial Arts School, and it's a one-hit kill, leaving no room for resistance."

In Yongguan County, the Tian family's boxing style is the most famous.

He then picked up the vest and examined it, frowning. "If the other party could make everyone else disappear, why leave fist marks only on Lu Youtian, and deliberately leave this vest to expose their own identity?"

"Young Master, are you implying that someone framed you?"

"It's hard to say right now," Huang Shouren said, shaking his head.

Although he was convinced in his heart that he had been framed, he did not say it was a death sentence.

"Young Master, now that the murderer cannot be found, we can only seek an explanation from the Tian family."

"That's right, you're correct."

Huang Shouren nodded, agreeing with this statement.

At this point, he couldn't care less about anything else; he needed to find someone to take the fall for.

Otherwise, he can't take the blame.

Why didn't you put out the fire immediately after it broke out?

"Young Master, the fire you're using today is too strong, so intense and fierce that it set everything around us ablaze in an instant."

The water stored in the gambling den's water tanks couldn't be extinguished.

Li Xiaodong led a group of people to fetch water from the river, but none of them ever returned.

Huang Shouren originally wanted to go to the river to take a look, but looking at the dark river surface, he held back.

Although his strength had already reached the fourth level of Body Refinement, he was still somewhat apprehensive in the face of the unknown terror.

Who isn't afraid of the unknown?

At the same time, people from the Huang Family Martial Arts School also came to help.

Not only that, but the city's guards also mobilized their troops.
