Chapter 214 (1/2)

Ten thousand imperial gold coins!

It was a vast fortune even for those great forces. Now, knowing that Yao Susu wanted to pay so much money for Tingyu Tower, Lian Fei immediately hesitated.

“Susu, now that those great forces have taken action, Lin Xun would surly die even if we do nothing. Why would you still waste so much money to hire killers?”

Lian Fei was confused.

“Fei, it’s inevitable to deal with other great forces if we want to gain a foothold in Mist City. And this operation of killing Lin Xun provides us a good opportunity to make friends with them.”

Yao Susu continued, “As long as Lin Xun was killed by our killers, we could not only avenge your father’s murder, but also take this opportunity to win the favor of other forces. It can kill two birds with one stone.”

Lian Fei still frowned, “Need it cost ten thousand gold coins just for making friends with other forces?”

Yao Susu sighed, “Fei, here is Mist City, the capital of the Southwestern Province. Such opportunities may not come again!”

Noticing that Lian Fei wanted to say anything more, Yao Susu directly decided, “Ok, that’s it!”

Though full of anger, Lian Fei dared not to say anything else when he noticed calm eyes of Susu.

…

In Tingyu Tower.

In a quaint room, Ting Yu in blue robe sat with the legs crossed calmly. He was playing the Guqin (a seven-stringed plucked instrument in some ways similar to the zither), and the melody was desolate.

Outside the window, there was the rainstorm and thunder. But all of these sounds couldn’t drown out such a lonesome sound.

“Master, shall we take action now?”

Outside the door, a voice with respect arose.

Clang!

There was a suddenly rising tone of the Guqin in the room. Soon, it fell into silence immediately.

“Tonight, the city is covered by the momentum of murder. The odds are against Lin Xun. However, this employer insisted on doing so. Maybe there is other more important intention.”

Ting Yu said in a melodious and low voice, “Have you found out who the employer is?”

“It seems to have something to do with the great practitioner— Yao Tuohai.”

That respectful and submissive voice replied.

“Yao Tuohai…”

Thinking for a while, Ting Yu said, “Considering it’s Yao Tuohai, we should give him face. Now let Residual Snow, Ghost Moon and Gray Mink take action!”

“OK.”

That voice got the order and left.

…

In a dark basement of Mist City.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Xun swallowed a bottle of Sapphire Gang-refining Pills and began to run his Qi for recovery without hesitation.

Fighting all the night made Lin Xun’s power consume a lot. Especially he used the Reaching for the Stars twice when he killed Lu Zhong and Residual Wind, which almost used up all his strength.

The power of this move was great, but it would consume much of the spiritual gang power. Although Lin Xun now was in the Human-gang Realm, it still consumed a lot to use the move twice.

And he had to recover his strength as soon as possible.

This basement was prepared for Lin Xun by Chu Feng. There were more than ten basements for hiding like this in the whole city.

All of these hiding places had been ready, so that Lin Xun could have a place to hide for a while.

As he run his Qi, he felt the condition of his body. There were a number of wounds caused in the battle.

However, they were not serious and didn’t have much effect on the fight.

“Next, it’s my turn to fight back…”

Lin Xun thought, after killing Lu Zhong and Residual Wind, he finally broke through the heavy siege. When he recovered, he could return to give them a back thrust.

In this way, he was no longer a prey but a hunter!

After a half hour.

Lin began to check on the rest of his equipment as soon as he recovered.

There are three Burning Sunglow crossbows, two Black Spirit sabers, more than ten bottles of medicine, and some other items needed in the fight.

Lin estimated that, as long as there were not too powerful rivals, these strategic materials were enough to support himself until dawn.

Eh?
