After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

"How did you get involved with the Snow-Maned Lion Demon?" Lin Heng asked bluntly.

"This...didn't Linxian City disappear before? I was desperate and happened to run into the Snowmane Lion Demon outside the city who was gathering people to leave Linxian City...He knew that I used to be a foreman of hard labor, and he was in the stone brick business, so he naturally let me work for him."

Chu Zihe told Lin Heng everything.

Lin Heng nodded and continued, "So what are you doing in Golden Deer City?"

Chu Zihe dared not be negligent: "The Snow-Maned Lion Demon is a businessman, of course he's here to do business..."

"Doing business, can you even go to the city lord's mansion?"

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "Brother Chu, your answer is hard to satisfy me."

Chu Zihe said guiltily, "Perhaps... it's some kind of big order?"

He knew perfectly well that selling stone bricks alone wouldn't get him into the city lord's mansion.

But what did the Snow-Haired Lion Demon want from the City Lord of Golden Deer City? How could a labor foreman who was hired halfway through the journey possibly know?

"It seems Brother Chu isn't very sincere."

Lin Heng shrugged and winked at Song Jingyu, who was following behind him.

Chu Zihe was stunned: "This, this little girl is... again..."

boom!

Holy crap!

Before Chu Zihe could react, a flame had already drifted in front of him.

Chu Zihe was so frightened he almost cried, and hurriedly cried out, "No, no, no, Brother Lin, Brother Lin, I was wrong!"

It wasn't until Lin Heng called out to Song Jingyu that Chu Zihe finally managed to catch his breath.

"My patience is limited."

Lin Heng's smile faded, and he calmly asked Chu Zihe, "Snow-maned Lion Demon, what exactly is your purpose in coming to Golden Deer City?"

He believed in the business of selling stone bricks.

Lin Heng absolutely did not believe that he was only there to do business in stone bricks.

After all, when Yun Qinghe killed the little lion demon, that guy summoned the demon tide without regard for the safety of the entire city.

So Lin Heng decided to be more explicit: "Or rather, has he mentioned me at all?"

"Brother Lin, this...this...I really don't know!"

Chu Zihe said with a mournful face.

Lin Heng shrugged and looked at Song Jingyu again.

Song Jingyu raised her hand and extended one finger.

A flame was already gathering momentum at her fingertips.

Chu Zihe quickly said, "No, no, no, this fairy, and Brother Lin, I really don't know what the Snow-Maned Lion Demon was talking to the City Lord of Golden Deer City about! After all, I'm just a foreman, even if he really had some arrangements... it's not something someone of my level could know!"

Lin Heng nodded slowly: "What you say makes some sense."

"Right, Brother Lin?"

Seeing Lin Heng's reaction, Chu Zihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smile again, saying, "Brother Lin is indeed understanding. By the way, Brother Lin, do you still need stone bricks? I'll get you a few boxes from the Snow-Maned Lion Demon later. No spirit stones needed!"

"Let's skip the stone bricks."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Brother Chu, it seems you really know nothing about the Snow-Maned Lion Demon's plan?"

"Absolutely nothing!"

Chu Zihe patted his chest and assured him.

But at that very moment, he completely lost his value in Lin Heng's eyes...

"Alright then, let's leave the matter of the Snow-Maned Lion Demon here."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Next, it's time to settle our old scores."

"Old, old grievances?!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zihe's forced smile froze instantly, and even a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Of course he knew what old grievances Lin Heng was referring to...

Whether it was provoking the Crimson Tiger and the Snow-Maned Lion Demon to covet Lin Heng's territory, or those vulgar words he once uttered to Mu Tinglan and Yun Qinghe, how could he not remember?

At this moment, Lin Heng said to him casually, "Brother Chu, it's fate, really. Last time I saw you, you didn't give me a chance to make a move, and I never expected to see you wandering the streets of Jinlu City so late at night."

Before this.

The last time Lin Heng saw Chu Zihe was when Chu Zihe came with Chi Hu and others to beg for food.

Lin Heng originally intended to settle things with Chu Zihe, but unfortunately, they were outside the slums at the time.

Any movement they make will be seen by the celestial servants in their territory.

If he had acted then, his public image would have been difficult to repair.

After all, in the eyes of the masses, he, the lord, was still very kind and approachable.

But it's different now.

At this moment, both he and Chu Zihe were in this deserted alley...

Chu Zihe didn't understand the implication of Lin Heng's words, and cautiously asked, "Then, Brother Lin, do you mean I shouldn't go out at night next time?"

There won't be a next time.

Lin Heng shook his head and patted Song Jingyu's head beside him: "This time, use all your strength. It doesn't have to be death, but it would be better to make him wish he were dead."

"what?"

The flame at Song Jingyu's fingertips flickered slightly, then she whispered to Lin Heng, "But teacher, I've never killed anyone! I have no experience like that..."

Lin Heng said calmly, "Back in the Immortal Realm, he pursued several fairies at the same time, including your sister."

"What?!"

Song Jingyu's eyes widened immediately: "How dare you be so disrespectful to my older sister!"

boom!

A huge wave of heat filled the entire alley.

"ah!!!"

As for Chu Zihe, who was surrounded by raging flames, he let out a bloodcurdling scream...

"Little girl, don't burn me!"

The raging flames forced even Gesang Nazha, who was at the Enlightenment Realm, to use her spiritual power to protect herself.

Lin Heng, who was standing next to Song Jingyu, was completely dumbfounded.

Is this what she meant by "lack of experience"...?

But Chu Zihe was once a disciple of the Yunling Sect. Although he had lost all his spiritual power, he could still activate his spiritual roots to protect himself in dangerous situations.

In addition, Song Jingyu also controlled the spiritual energy in the flames, keeping it just at the point of near death, which prevented Chu Zihe from dying on the spot.

It is unknown how long the flames lasted.

Gesang Naza looked towards the exit of the alley: "Master, the party at Mijin Pavilion seems to have ended. People should be coming soon."

Song Jingyu extinguished the flames and looked at Lin Heng: "Teacher, now?"

At the same time, Chu Zihe, who was on the verge of death, lay unconscious on the ground.

"It really should end now."

Lin Heng flexed his wrist and touched the spiritual runes in his palm: "Use your spiritual energy to isolate this place from the outside world first."

"it is good."

Gesang Nazha nodded to Song Jingyu, and at the same time released the spiritual energy within her body to protect the entire alley.

Lin Heng raised his hand and opened his palm toward Chu Zihe, who was lying down.

boom!

A crimson light instantly burst forth within the protective barrier of spiritual energy.

The powerful Extinction Fire Bead struck Chu Zihe precisely.

exactly.

A fledgling bird that had landed on a nearby roof tile was also completely blown apart at the same time as the Extinction Fire Bead exploded...

"Still trying to bully me? Even Xia Feng, that guy, doesn't read any novels with bully-themed plots."

Turning around, Lin Heng led Song Jingyu and Gesang Nazha out of the alley.
