137 The Reunion (1/2)
”The Secret Hole Mansion in Lieyang County?”
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered and went forward to take a good look at the secret map.
”Hmm? Who are you?”
There was someone standing beside them all along and both Lu Renjia and Ling Yin had not realised that before. Both of them were very shocked.
”I should leave here as soon as possible!”
As Fang Yuan saw that Ling Yin's face was getting distorted and seemed like she was about to be awakened, there was a sudden lightning and thunder. Fang Yuan, being a wise man, did not want to continue further as the odds were against him and hence decided to leave the dream world.
...….
Back in the real world, in the prison in Qinghe County.
”Pitiful lady...”
Fang Yuan opened his eyes and saw Ling Yin, who was lying on the wooden bed and she looked as if she just had a nightmare. Fang Yuan started to pity her.
He had gotten into her dream these few days to obtain secrets and this had already exhausted her mentally. If he continued to do this, there could be a confusion for her between the dream world and the real world and hence, she might become crazy afterwards!
”Luckily I have almost gotten everything that I need from her already….”
As he recalled the secret location Lu Renjia was at, Fang Yuan was feeling a little excited.
That was the escape route that the alchemy master had prepared for himself and was definitely top secret!
Unfortunately, for Lu Renjia, he didn't expect Ling Yin to be in the hands of a dream master before he was caught and now Fang Yuan knew where he was.
”So he is in Lieyang County….what a coincidence. Looks like I will have a visit to there then!”
Fang Yuan murmured to himself and immediately looked for Zhou Wenwu. Fang Yuan then gave him some orders.
...…
When he thought of doing something, he would do it.
Fang Yuan felt that he himself was more of a person who was more involved in actions. He waited for the news from the investigation made by Zhou Wenwu's men, then he would travel to the city of Lieyang County by his Iron-tailed Black Eagle.
”Since the disintegration of the Five Ghosts Sect, Lieyang County has benefited from that. Even though there are a few chaotic things happening, no war has happened here before….”
Fang Yuan got down from the eagle outside the city and entered the city alone. He enjoyed the scenery along the way.
Because of the trade in ore, the city here was prosperous and it didn't look poor.
On the street, there were many martial artists who were quite powerful. Many of them had either daggers or sword with them and they were very alert. The atmosphere was quite tense.
”Looks like the rumour is true!”
He recalled the report from Zhou Wenwu and gave a smile. ”The Five Ghosts Sect…...has become active again!”
Ever since the battle for the treasure map broke out, the Five Ghosts Sect Sect Master lost his life and left behind a few elders and disciples. The Five Ghosts Sect was then known to have incurred a big loss. Also, with suppression from the Spirit Returning Sect, many of the disciples had their names hidden to keep a low profile.
This matter was supposed to remain like this. The disciples could either thrive somewhere else or continue to suffer here. It would take at least 10 to 100 years for the sect to be rebuilt.
However, it was different now!
The Spirit Returning Sect was involved in the rebel. Even Shi Yutong had been taken away by Fang Yuan and was kept in the prison ever since.
The Spirit Returning Sect was being rooted from the ground and the sect would not have a firm position in the Secluded Mountain Prefecture.
However, Lieyang County had always been on the side of the Secluded Mountain Prefecture City Master and there were rumours saying that the remaining few from the Five Ghosts Sect had put in much effort to fight against the rebel forces.
Hence, there would be rewards. With the support from the new governor of the county, the disciples of the Five Ghosts Sect gathered once again to rebuild their sect!
This was definitely not an easy task!
Even though the Spirit Returning Sect was out of the picture now, there were others who had depended on the embezzlement of the funds of the Five Ghosts Sect and they would definitely not agree to this and there would be a conflict between the two parties.
Fang Yuan thought of the worst case scenario. It was that the governor was likely to claim the power of the sect when both parties were busy fighting.
It was just too mainstream to claim the power by force.
After all, Lieyang County was different from the Qinghe County. Lieyang County didn't have a governor who was Wu Zong and the governor hence could not use force to suppress the whole county. Hence the governor could only use that approach.
The two parties had also realised what the governor was trying to achieve but could only continue with the governor's plan. Hence, this was the beauty of having great power.
”Eh?”
Suddenly, Fang Yuan saw a familiar person and followed the person immediately.
”The battle of the Five Ghosts Sect, Strong Flame Sect and the Big River Faction is the headline here in the Lieyang County. The alliance of the brothers from the Bull's Head Mountain, the Black Wind Village and the Eighteen Mountains will have to be pushed into the limelight as well!”
It was a man who was 84 inches tall who spoke that and he was carrying a giant axe. It made people became fearful of him.
”Isn't he Wang Fugui, whom I have met in Shaoyang City, the owner of the Bull's Head Mountain?”
Fang Yuan simmered with laughter. ”Well, this fool is also here.”
”Eh? Are you not Brother Fang?”
When Wang Fugui saw Fang Yuan, his eyes glittered and went close to Fang Yuan. He then greeted Fang Yuan loudly.
”Haha…...I have been missing you since the last time we separated!”
”Slow down slow down!”
