Chapter 366: Sect Leader Lin, What About Martial Path Mountain?
Liang Yongqi left.
Lin Fan didn’t stop him. He actually hated it when people stopped him from doing what he wanted, so putting himself in Lian Yongqi’s shoes, he wouldn’t want others to stop him either.
Yuan Tianchu couldn’t accept this matter and felt like it was too big of a thing to accept.
He thought that he was extremely smart and would definitely be able to pick up signs of schemes and plots.
But now, he couldn’t find any problems at all.
Lin Fan and everyone else’s expressions were too real and it was impossible that they were faking it.
He kept silent and didn’t say a word. He just wanted to be alone now.
When Gou’zi saw that Young Master was back, he cried and laughed like he had lost his mind.
The only thing was that he felt a little annoyed with Nine Demon.
This d.a.m.n Nine Demon actually ditched him halfway. He was the one who cooked for Nine Demon and fed him so well and he actually treated him like that.
Of course, Nine Demon didn’t even consider Gou’zi’s thoughts towards him. He was already beside Master and wouldn’t need to eat pig feed in the future. He would be able to consume the proper Bug Controlling Technique Dao Essence. His standard of living had risen and he wouldn’t eat trash anymore.
That was the truth.
When Feng Poliu found out about the border situation, he sighed. Chaos… things were in total chaos…
The little brat he was teaching also sensed that her Master was feeling sad. She didn’t ask and just waited quietly to the side.
Jiang City.
Huang Boren knew that Lin Fan was back and immediately dropped everything he was doing to rush to Martial Path Mountain.
When Gou’zi returned, he informed the people in Jiang City that danger was present and told everyone to leave.
But no one even listened to him.
Everyone was wondering where had this fool come from?
Actually, this was quite an ordinary occurrence. Gou’zi wasn’t someone amazing; he had no strength nor status. The people of the city didn’t even know who he was.
They were living good lives and it was impossible that they would move just because of what he had said.
Huang Boren stood at the foot of the mountain and walked up the stairs while panicking.
He felt like his investment was going to waste.
Oh my G.o.d.
He had invested no less than 10,000, an amount of silver that a normal person wouldn’t be able to earn in their whole life.
Huang Boren had high hopes for Martial Path Mountain and hoped that he would get huge returns. However, looking at the situation, it seemed like everything was going to go to waste.
On the mountain, Lin Fan looked at Huang Boren and felt a little helpless. He knew that he would come and that him not coming would be a huge surprise.
“Young Master Huang, did Gou’zi inform you of the situation? It is not safe in Jiang City and we have to leave.” Lin Fan added.
Although he was really strong and he could bully Huang Boren like he would bully a kid, he was someone that would win others over by virtue. Those who used brute strength were just so immoral.
“Sect Leader Lin, what are you doing now? No matter what, you have to give me an explanation, right?” Huang Boren said. His life motto was that it didn’t matter whether one earned or not, but at least, he had to see that you tried.
If you tried and failed, then it was okay.
But this guy didn’t even try; he was just wasting his life away.
Lin Fan calmed his riled up heart. “Young Master Huang, this is a long story. I have been in You City fighting against the Alliance. Now that they have broken through, I came back to inform you to pack up your riches and head to the north.”
Huang Boren was stunned. He didn’t know what Sect Leader Lin was talking about, but he felt that the Alliance wasn’t anything good.
“My home is in You City and the people closest to me are all dead. My father is their prime target and I have also become someone they want to kill. It is not safe to stay here and it isn’t safe for you all either.” Lin Fan said.
Huang Boren’s expression was one of sympathy and he said, “Sect Leader Lin, I offer my condolences. This…”
Lin Fan said with a bit of sadness, “For the people of You City, they have no regrets; this was the path that they chose.”
“Haiz, that makes sense.” Huang Boren nodded and then asked, “So, Martial Path Mountain is finished just like that?”
Huang Boren was still a bit reluctant. He had high hopes for his investment and to say that it was gone just like that dealt a huge blow to him.
Lin Fan didn’t expect for him to care about Martial Path Mountain even at such a time. Was he just too obsessed with money?
“It still exists, it’s just that we need to delay it.”
He had no choice but to calm him down.
Huang Boren looked at Lin Fan and hoped to see that he was lying to him. But no matter how he tried, he felt like this whole thing was real.
Lin Fan said, “Young Master Huang, we have known each other for a period of time and you are a good person. I am being honest with you. The Alliance is from another world and they want to occupy our land. Now that the border has been wiped out, their army will enter. Jiang City is not far from You City and there is a straight path towards it. They would definitely pa.s.s through her.”
“If you don’t leave, then the outcome will be catastrophic.”
Huang Boren didn’t say anything. He looked at Lin Fan and was in deep thought.
He wasn’t a fool and naturally knew what Sect Leader Lin was talking about.
“Are you sure?” Huang Boren asked.
“Of course, I am certain. At the same time, I need your help. Martial Path Mountain’s foundations here are too shallow, so the people won’t believe me. I need you to lead. Otherwise, when the Alliance pa.s.ses all of them will die.” Lin Fan wasn’t joking.
If they were far away from You City, he believed that Alliance wouldn’t do too much to the people.
But this place was just so close to You City.
The Alliance would definitely set up a strategic camp, and they would wipe out the entire city just in case.
Just thinking about it made Lin Fan realize that he was actually quite smart sometimes.
Huang Boren was terrified by Lin Fan’s words. “Sect Leader Lin, this isn’t a joking matter. If what you say is wrong, then I will be murdered.”
“Whether or not you believe it is up to you. Tomorrow, Martial Path Mountain will be leaving.” Lin Fan said.
He didn’t say much. If he tried too hard to explain the truth, then it would appear really fake.
He had said what he needed to say and if they didn’t believe it, then it was their problem.
Huang Boren was in a dilemma and it was obvious that he wouldn’t believe it so easily.
Lin Fan grabbed his shoulder and said, “Young Master Huang, I hope that you can believe me. If you don’t, then there is nothing I can do. I can tell you the outcome though, which is that the few generations of Huang Family will be wiped out.”
His words were a little shocking.
“Understood. Let me head back to think.” Huang Boren said. He walked down the mountain and when he was prepared to leave, he asked, “Sect Leader Lin, tell me, if Martial Path Mountain develops, will I be counted in?”
d.a.m.n!
Lin Fan didn’t know what to say. Were all merchants like this?
They were talking about a serious matter, so couldn’t he be a bit more serious?
“Yes, definitely.” Lin Fan said firmly.
Huang Boren heaved a sigh of relief, “That is good. Investments require time and I believe that you can make Martial Path Mountain famous.”
Lin Fan sighed. What else could he say…
“Oh right, don’t go to the Imperial Dynasty.”
Very quickly, Huang Boren left.
“Sect Leader Lin, where are we going next?” Zhang Tianshan asked.
Lin Fan squinted. “Now you call me Sect Leader?”
“Sect Leader, haven’t I always called you that?” Zhang Tianshan said, his expression was one of confusion.
Lin Fan couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.
“Leave this place first and find someplace with few people.” Lin Fan said.
Zhang Tianshan added, “Continue to develop Martial Path Mountain. I feel that a person alone is too weak and to deal with the Alliance, we need people with the same goal. Then, we will work together and deal a heavy blow to them.”
Lin Fan wanted to tell Zhang Tianshan that a person alone is strong. If he felt that that wasn’t the case, then the only reason was because the person was too weak.
When Huang Boren returned, he locked himself up and didn’t let anyone disturb him.
He was thinking about what Sect Leader Lin had told him.
In the end, he decided to move.
There was no reason for Sect Leader Lin to lie to him and he didn’t want to take the gamble. Even if he won, there was no prize involved. However, if he lost, then if what Sect Leader Lin said was indeed true, he would lose everything.
The same day, Huang Boren gave instructions to pack up and prepare to leave. The servants didn’t understand, but when Huang Boren told them about it, they were all shocked.
This matter spread quickly in Jiang City.
The people all knew that the Huang Family was fleeing the city and that Jiang City was in trouble.
At the start, they didn’t believe it. When they came to Huang City and saw that they were moving, they totally believed it.
Chen Shengxiao was shocked when he heard about it. He didn’t know what the Huang Family was doing, but he also instructed the servants to pack up.
It wasn’t that he knew that something was about to happen, but since the Huang Family was packing up, it meant that something was definitely wrong.
Most of the people were influenced by Huang and Chen Family and they all believed it. But there were some who didn’t too.
Some merchants felt like this was a scheme by the Huang Family and they just scoffed.
Move for what?
Only a fool would move.
The Imperial Dynasty was still prosperous, so who would even think anything was going to happen?
They were even thinking that it was good that both of the families were leaving. Then, the entire city would be their’s.
Even if they returned to Jiang City, the two families would return only to find that all their territory had been taken.
Justing thinking about it made people excited. They felt like their chance had arrived.
