Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

He was the one who provoked his mother; he was the one who started the affair and then abandoned her, and then tried to cover it up by pushing her into the wilderness!

It's him!

"Zhu Ran, do you remember who taught you martial arts? Do you want to know what happened to him?" Lin Yaoxie asked. "He has been poisoned by the Deer Cry Pill. As long as I successfully escape the barbarian lands..."

"He's doomed, he's doomed. Are you happy?"

Zhu Ran covered his ears, refusing to hear anything Lin Yaoxie said.

"He won't die!"

Even though he did the most outrageous thing in the world, Zhu Ran still refused to believe that he would eventually die.

"Why isn't he dead? What's the reason? Zhu Ran? Who exactly are you?!"

Lin Yaoxie sensed that the relationship between Zhu Ran and Mo Yan was not as simple as he had imagined, so he made a bold guess.

"You don't dare kill him with your own hands, do you? Because he's your father?!"

Zhu Ran's eyes widened. Who told him this? It was something even Sheng Xiaomo didn't know. How did he know?

"Your IQ has really dropped a lot. You're in the wilderness, so it seems you've not only lost your cultivation techniques, but you've also lost your brain."

0oo is asking for flowers.....

Lin Yaoxie clasped his hands together, and the golden light in his hands rippled outwards from him. He had no idea that the people of the barbaric lands no longer had any cultivation techniques.

He should thank Zhu Ran for her words; now, he could easily get rid of them all.

"I do not practice the techniques of Changliu, nor am I a person of Changliu, and I am not even a person of this world. The rules of the wilderness cannot harm me at all!"

As Lin Yaoxie spoke, he flew towards Zhu Ran, grabbed his neck tightly, and pinned him to the ground.

"Go!" Zhu Ran's hoarse voice rang out, struggling to send the command through the gaps in Lin Yaoxie's fingers, "Go!"

Those barbarians who had been defeated by Lin Yaoxie seemed to be fearless and stood up again, charging towards Lin Yaoxie like idiots.

..0

"You're being controlled by Zhu Ran's drugs. If he dies, you won't survive either, right?"

Lin Yaoxie said, but this was something Zhu Ran told him personally.

Some of the younger barbarians had already tentatively stopped. They understood perfectly well that if Zhu Ran died, they would not survive, but if they went to kill this powerful man, they would also be doomed.

"Yes! We've been poisoned!"

Some of the bolder members of the wilderness, who were usually exploited by Zhu Ran, whispered among themselves.

"How does the poison take effect?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

"It flares up every two weeks. Each time, it's excruciating, and I have to take the antidote given by Young Master Zhu."

A wild man spoke in an extremely faint voice.

"It flares up every two weeks?" Lin Yaoxie smiled. "I don't want to kill you all. You're not in my way now. I can take you out and give you the antidote."

The wild men stopped and looked at each other.

"Go! Only I... can... solve this!" Zhu Ran said, struggling.

"Is that so?" Lin Yaoxie laughed. "Mo Yan harmed Xiao Gu so much, do you think I would spare his son? Oh, maybe he would thank me if I killed you! Besides, there are plenty of people here who can tell me where the Desolate Gate is."

"No..." Zhu Ran shook her head in pain.

"On the road to the underworld, remember to wait for your beloved father!" As she spoke, Zhu Ran slowly closed her eyes.

Chapter 104 Unexpected Gain

Zhu Ran's body slowly went limp and began to grow cold; one wrong step and there would be no way to make amends.

Lin Yaoxie sheathed the Compassionate Life Sword and put his hands behind his back again.

The surrounding barbarians seemed to have suddenly lost their backbone. Some sat slumped on the ground, some stared blankly at Zhu Ran's corpse, seemingly lost in thought, and some looked at Lin Yaoxie in astonishment, as if wondering how he could kill Zhu Ran so easily.

"I can't cure the poison you've been afflicted with for now, but if you cooperate fully, I can lead you out of the wilderness," Lin Yaoxie said loudly. "Of course, if anyone wants revenge for Zhu Ran, come at me now!"

The barbarians looked at each other, none of them moving. Zhu Ran hadn't treated them well before, and the "250s" didn't like Zhu Ran either, so there was no question of avenging Zhu Ran. But since they were poisoned, they were worried about whether they could survive. Some of them had been in the barbarians for nearly decades and had long since given up hope of getting out.

"It seems Zhu Ran isn't treating you well!" Lin Yaoxie said. "You can leave one person behind who can speak for you, and the rest of you can go wherever you want!"

The barbarians were indeed somewhat afraid of Lin Yaoxie, and now that he was letting them leave, they naturally planned to leave as soon as possible. However, the representative who stayed behind turned to look at a withered old man. The old man was hunched over, very old, with one half of his face burned and the other half covered in wrinkles.

“Uncle He…” one of the younger, more impatient barbarians said in a low voice.

The old man had some backbone; he slammed his cane on the ground and said, "You guys go back first."

Some of the barbarians nodded, some disappeared back into the withered grass, and some showed signs of tension in their eyes.

"I'm fine, you can go back!" the old man called Uncle He said confidently.

Lin Yaoxie looked at the old man and realized that these barbarians were not a disorganized bunch; they did have some cohesion.

"Uncle He, right!" Lin Yaoxie looked at him, his gaze following his eyes. The old man didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with; he had seen a bit of the world.

Everyone

"Yes, I beg you, sir, to understand the greater good. We people of the wilderness are already in dire straits. Please show mercy." Although the old man was old, his speech was still very clear.

"As long as you don't get in my way, I won't hurt them," Lin Yaoxie said, but then asked, "It seems that you have a lot of prestige in the Wilderness, Uncle He."

That old man wasn't exactly a saint either, after all, he was also someone who had been imprisoned in the wilderness. "I had some reputation in the Immortal Realm before, and I've been in the wilderness for quite some time now."

Lin Yaoxie looked at him. This old man must have entered before Zhu Ran, so many of the barbarians were somewhat dependent on him.

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and gestured for him to stand aside for a while, as he was about to retrieve the divine artifact.

The Unreturning Inkstone was shrouded in a layer of deathly aura, probably because it had spent a long time in this dark and desolate wilderness, making it appear very sinister.

The speed of the storm in the middle was getting slower and slower, and the speed of the No Return Inkstone was so slow that it could not be seen with the naked eye.

Lin Yaoxie channeled his inner energy to condense the Golden Crow Divine Light into his hands, firmly protecting them, and then directly reached into that mass of death energy.

He Bo looked at Lin Yaoxie's actions with some surprise. In his eyes, Lin Yaoxie's actions were very magical. After arriving in the Wilderness, his inner strength had not been lost. Moreover, a divine artifact that had never been seen before appeared as soon as he arrived. Then he killed Zhu Ran. Now, he actually believed Lin Yaoxie's words that he was going to leave the Wilderness.

Lin Yaoxie's hand, enveloped in golden light, had barely reached in when the wisp of deathly energy recoiled as if it had encountered something scalding hot. Lin Yaoxie's hand instantly touched the Inkstone of No Return.

The edge, biting cold.

With a forceful pull, Lin Yaoxie gripped the Inkstone of No Return, pulled it out of the shockwave, and put it away in a flash.

Uncle He stared in disbelief at this scene. Wasn't it said that divine artifacts were extremely difficult to obtain? How could this person do it so easily? There was only one explanation: Lin Yaoxie's strength had reached a new level. Zhu Ran, Zhu Ran, all your efforts have been in vain!

“Um… great hero, according to ancient books, the Inkstone of No Return has the ability to escape. I wonder if it can be used to go back directly…” Uncle He said. He had heard of the Inkstone of No Return before entering the Wilderness. If he could use it to get out now, he would be extremely grateful!

"I'll try..." Lin Yaoxie said, and took out the No Return Inkstone again. How to describe this feeling? It's like having a map. You can mark the places you've been and move directly to them. However, you can't get to places you haven't been to before or places that are different from each other in space.

“No…” Lin Yaoxie shook his head.

"Oh..." The old man's eyes were filled with disappointment. If the inkstone was useless, then their greatest hope was this person in front of them.

"Let's go! Come back with me first!" Lin Yaoxie said. For him, the first benefit of this trip to the Wilderness was that he quickly found Hua Qiangu, and the second was that he unexpectedly obtained a divine artifact. Now he was very, very close to acquiring the Ten Great Divine Artifacts!

"Are you not a disciple of Changliu?" the old man said, following closely behind Lin Yaoxie's retreating figure.

"Mm-hmm." Lin Yaoxie nodded. "I am not a disciple of Changliu."

"These people from Changliu are so indecisive and fussy. You're clearly not from Changliu; you're decisive," the old man flattered.

"Heh..." Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, this old man really does speak to people in a way that suits them, and he didn't forget to flatter himself even at this moment.

"How big is this wilderness?" Lin Yaoxie asked, wondering if there was a way out in all four directions.

"The wilderness is vast, yet not so vast. Young Master Zhu once traveled to the farthest place with the hard skills of Changliu."

"The farthest place? Is it the Gate of the Wilderness?" Lin Yaoxie asked.

No, the farthest point, according to his description, is a rolling black wave, endless and without end. But the Gate of the Wilderness is in the north. From here, keep heading north for two...

"We'll arrive in three days, but it's even more impossible to get close there," the old man sighed. He recalled the years since he arrived, busy dodging attacks from strange beasts and searching for a way to survive. This dark and hopeless life seemed to have lasted for many, many years.

Chapter 105 Working Together from Within and Without

Lin Yaoxie nodded. Since Uncle He knew where the Gate of the Wilderness was, things were much simpler. Once Xiao Gu's injuries had healed, he would look around for any relevant clues. If there were none, he would ultimately choose the Gate of the Wilderness as his last resort.

“Great hero… no one can stand at the Gate of the Wilderness!” Uncle He advised, sensing that this powerful person seemed to be using the Gate of the Wilderness as a way out.

“Yes, I know,” Lin Yaoxie said, his footsteps not stopping. “For the next two days, you will arrange for the people from the Wilderness to gather, count how many people there are in total, divide them into men and women, and report back to me.”

From the moment Lin Yaoxie arrived in the Wilderness, he had already planned to take these barbarians back with him. After all, the only ones who dared to cause him trouble were Changliu and Qisha. He would do anything to annoy Changliu! The Wilderness held important prisoners of Changliu. If he released them all, Changliu would really be in deep trouble.

However, although Lin Yaoxie claimed to be no good person, those who were imprisoned in the wilderness were all heinous criminals. He needed to make a careful count of them. He couldn't just cause trouble for Changliu and disregard the innocent people of the world. Therefore, Lin Yaoxie needed He Bo to make a count of the people in the wilderness so that when they came out, Dongfang could leave a mark to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos and escaping.

"You...can you really take us back?" Uncle He asked incredulously upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words. In truth, he had always thought of Lin Yaoxie as nothing more than another oppressor who had replaced Zhu Ran, and had never truly believed that the person in front of him was capable of taking them out.

"You definitely have to go out, but if you're quick, that's fine. If you're slow, I won't help you," Lin Yaoxie said in a low voice. He wasn't doing charity work, and he couldn't control all the barbarians.

"Yes...yes!" Uncle He left, thanking everyone profusely. If there really was a chance to leave the wilderness, he would immediately inform all the people of the wilderness!

Lin Yaoxie watched his departing figure; his hunched back moved swiftly, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye. This was the barbarian's yearning to return!

"Xiao Gu~" Lin Yaoxie pushed open Zhu Ran's simple door. Inside, there was still an ugly girl kneeling on the ground. Xiao Gu probably had just fallen asleep and did not seem to be waking up yet.

"You're back..." the ugly girl said softly, very politely, as if she had been taught before coming in.

Lin Yaoxie nodded and sat down next to Hua Qiangu.

The ugly girl was turning around arrogantly, as if she was looking at Zhu Ran's figure, perhaps wondering in her heart why Zhu Ran hadn't come back with her.

"What is your relationship with Young Master Zhu?" Lin Yaoxie asked, feeling that this ugly girl's attitude was different from that of the other barbarians.

"Ah..." The ugly girl was clearly startled and could only say tremblingly, "I used to be a maid in Changliu. I used to serve Senior Brother Zhuran, but later..."

Lin Yaoxie raised an eyebrow; this past event was truly unknown unless told.

"Later, because he associated too much with spies of the demonic sect, he lost a divine artifact and committed a serious crime. The World-Honored One punished him by sending him to the wilderness. Because I had been serving him, the World-Honored One arranged for me to come and follow him and take care of him."

Lin Yaoxie gave a forced smile and a snort. This Mo Yan was really thinking things through. His son was punished, and on the one hand, he punished him, and on the other hand, he secretly sent someone to take care of him. He really had a good plan.

"Then you must know a lot," Lin Yaoxie asked. "To be honest, Zhu Ran has already been killed by me."

The ugly girl instantly raised her head, as if in disbelief. Dead? She's actually dead? She came to this desolate place because of Zhu Ran, and has been wandering around here for so many years. Now, the culprit is just dead like that.

Lin Yaoxie stared at her blankly without saying a word. "Are you worried about the poison in your bodies?" He thought she was worried about her own life.

"No..." The ugly girl slowly shed tears, which made her look even more ugly. "His poison is actually a Gu poison. If he dies, we'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie realized that this ugly girl knew quite a lot.
