594 Golden Thread Snake King (1/2)
Boom!
While the loud explosion rang out, the wall crumbled, and an astonishing wave of wind mixed with countless shattered stones hit the Beggar's Sect disciples and Silver Saber Constables. Aside from Elder Lin and the Golden Saber Constable, everyone else suffered internal injuries because of the shock from the palm strike, and they looked incredibly pathetic.
When the mysterious person in handwoven clothes seized the chance to flee into the distance, the expressions of Golden Saber Constable and Elder Lin turned incredibly sour. Chen Youliang even looked as if his eyes were about to spit fire. He glared at his subordinates, not having expected that even with so many people, a powerful martial artist would be able to quietly enter Phoenix Sun Branch with no one noticing him.
With a dark expression, he said, ”Hurry up and leave. We might not be able to stay in Phoenix Sun Branch anymore. If we do, unforeseen circumstances will occur. It'd be best if you left in haste, Elder Lin. Brother Golden, please take me under your wing for the time being.”
The Golden Saber Constable nodded slowly. ”That can be easily arranged. You helped me in the past, Brother Chen, and I'll treat this as me returning a favor. I will give you a new identity in Six Doors.”
”Alright!”
Chen Youliang, the Golden Saber Constable, and his people hastily left Phoenix Sun Branch.
Elder Lin switched to light gear and went to the road. He swept his gaze over the ruins of Phoenix Sun Branch, which had become incredibly disorderly and lively once again, and he put on a Bamboo Hat. Then, just like a normal martial artist, he joined the crowd on the street.
He moved through the stream of people who went back and forth with their own activities and soon vanished without a trace.
When Elder Lin reappeared, he was in a remote forest outside Phoenix Sun, where not a single person could be found!
Elder Lin suddenly stopped there and spoke loudly at the area void of people. ”Come out, friend. You've been following me for a long time, and my precious baby here has not forgotten your scent.”
Right when he finished speaking, a young man who also wore a Bamboo Hat and was dressed in handwoven cloth came out from behind a tree somewhere ahead of Elder Lin.
”Heh. As expected of the supreme treasure among poisonous creatures. Golden Thread Snake King is truly matchless when it comes to scent and poison.”
”I didn't expect that you would have such an understanding toward poisonous creatures, sir.” Elder Lin was slightly surprised. ”Since you know how great Golden Thread Snake King is, you should know that once it is out, it will not return to its cage unless it feeds. I have to say, you are quite courageous for daring to show up.”
”I've been set up once for a reason I do not understand. If I did not come back and get the truth, my reputation might be completely ruined in your hands, you scum.”
Happy removed his Bamboo Hat and revealed a clean and handsome face.
Elder Lin's expression changed.
”Gusu's Blue-robed Hero, Happy!” He sucked in a deep breath and asked quickly, ”Didn't you receive Chen Youliang's messenger pigeon and leave Phoenix Sun City?”
”So it is indeed Chen Youliang's doing.” Happy calmly brought out the letter that was written in Huang Rong's name and smiled. ”It's a pity, but he forgot one thing. When he writes letters, he should not write them himself. Besides, I've come into contact with Huang Rong before, and this letter is written with an imperative tone… It has plenty of flaws, so how was I supposed to not get suspicious of it?”
He stopped talking for a moment, and when Elder Lin's expression grew serious, he said, ”But I didn't expect that Chen Youliang would contact the people from the evil cult and attack Wudang Sect as well as Ming Cult. He even tried to set me up. What a vicious plan to kill three birds with one stone.”
”But a pity that you fled in the end.” Elder Lin's tone was dark.
”Indeed. Not only did you lose the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun, I even saw through your scheme. Tell me the truth, where did you send Great Hero Song and his people? If you tell me, I'll spare you.”
”Haha!”
Elder Lin sounded as if he had heard the greatest joke on earth. He suddenly pointed at Happy in a conceited manner and laughed loudly.
”Spare me? Boy, don't think that you can disregard the entire evil cult just because you won against the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun. My position in the evil cult might not be high, but I believe that I am still stronger than the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun.
”Today, I'd like to see whether you'll be the one sparing me, or whether I'll be the one turning you into food for my Golden Thread Snake King!”
