Translator: Hcnyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, the Black Grade man did not let him off and sent someone to jump down to silence him. Helpless, he could only deal with him first. Then, he used the poison to completely recover his injuries. Then, he randomly covered his face and jumped up to eliminate the root of the problem by dealing with the remaining two.
“Troublesome. I’ve just arrived at the prefecture capital and I’ve already gotten into such trouble…”
According to the information he had received from Liu Lanqing, Black Grade and Yellow Grade n.o.ble Realm experts were also experts in the prefecture capital.
The Black Grade n.o.ble Realm was already the backbone of a faction. For example, Bai Ling of the Demon Suppression Division could be the leader of a department.
If these three people, one Black Grade n.o.ble Realm and two Yellow Grade n.o.ble Realm, all died here, it would definitely cause a few huge troubles.
Not to mention that there was a master behind the Black Grade n.o.ble Realm, so his power was definitely not small.
However, Lin Yan was not too worried.
Although Cheng Yuer, including the unconscious Young Master Teng and the others on the roof, had already seen him once, he had been seriously injured at that time. His face was pale and covered in blood. They had only caught a glimpse of him and he had at most left an impression. It was impossible to record his detailed appearance.
Then, he covered his face before jumping up, so the possibility of his ident.i.ty being exposed was very small.
Lin Yan looked around. The few people who were seriously injured and paralyzed had already fainted. After experiencing the matter of the 16-armed Holy Buddha and Divine General, Lin Yan had no intention of killing them for such a small matter.
He picked up the heavily injured Black Grade n.o.ble Realm cultivator and walked to the door that Cheng Yu er had locked just now.
He reached out and gently twisted it, and the lock immediately broke.
Then, he pushed the door open and went downstairs.
The stairs were made of wood. Through the handrail, one could see the entire hall below the villa. The walls were whitewashed, and there were copper kerosene lamps hanging at intervals, acc.u.mulating a lot of dust.
On the opposite wall hung a landscape ink painting, and below it was a row of cotton sofa chairs.
There was a pendulum clock in the left corner and a limestone fireplace on the right. On the mantel were three rows of ancient leather books.
This kind of decoration was indeed from a completely different era from Ding’an City.
Lin Yan carried the Black Grade n.o.ble Realm man down to the hall and looked around. The door was locked. Cheng Yu er had already entered the room just now, but she was nowhere to be seen. It was unknown which corner of the room she was hiding in or if she had already escaped.
He wasn’t interested in the things in Cheng Yu’er and her master’s hands, so he couldn’t be bothered to care where she went.
After dropping the Black Grade man, Lin Yan gently slapped his palm and released his strength, stimulating the Black Grade man’s heart. A sharp pain immediately made him take a deep breath and wake up from his coma.
“Don’t kill me! I know what you want to ask! As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll tell you everything!”
The Black Grade man’s face was pale as he shouted in panic.
Lin Yan pulled a chair and sat opposite the Black Grade man. “Tell me, what do 1 want to ask?”
The Black Grade man gulped. “It’s nothing more than what we want to obtain from Cheng Yu’er’s master!”
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. This was naturally not what he wanted to ask, but he raised his chin noncommittally, indicating for him to continue.
The Black Grade man’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. “I have to start from more than a month ago…”
Lin Yan interrupted, “1 don’t have that much patience!”
The Black Grade man s expression became even more nervous as he hurriedly said, “A month ago, the Demon Suppression Division’s Vermillion Bird Envoy, Liu Lanqing, returned from the lower city and brought a large batch of priceless Unusual Items! It’s said that that batch of Unusual Items was obtained from the ruins of the Ancient Brahman Nation!
“This has completely overturned the academic world’s understanding that Ancient Fan Nation was a backward country in the wilderness, causing the value of all kinds of ruins related to Ancient Fan Nation to increase drastically!”
Lin Yan was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect to hear about Ancient Fan Nation under such circ.u.mstances.
He immediately remembered that before w.a.n.g Yue died, he had said that the Thousand Buddhas Cave and the Earth Abyss Pure Land could save Xiaozhi. These two places were most likely the ruins of Ancient Fan Nation.
His expression finally became more serious. “Continue.”
The Black Grade man exhaled. “Cheng Yu’er’s master, Cheng Laogou, is a rather famous Ruin Hunter. He often pa.s.ses through the fog to search for ruins. Of course, he also does some digging.
“Half a year ago, he excavated an ancient tomb in the ruins of the Ancient Fan Nation and obtained a human figurine of the Ancient Fan Nation!
“My main goal is this human figurine. It’s said that it’s the key to opening an Ancient Fan Nation ruin!’
Human figurine!
Lin Yau’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression did not change.
“The human figurine is a key? It sounds a little whimsical.”
The Black Grade man said threateningly, “My master is a great n.o.ble in District Al!”
District Al?
Lin Yan had questions in his heart, but he didn’t show them on his face. He only said coldly, “So what?”
The Black Grade man’s expression changed again. He didn’t expect Lin Yan to not be afraid at all. “My master is from a n.o.ble family with a long history. He has a deep foundation and naturally knows many secrets that ordinary people don’t know. Since hers certain that this figurine is real, it must be true.”
Lin Yan shook his head. “I finally understand. After going around in a big circle, you just want to say that you have a background and a backer! You want to use this to intimidate me?”
The Black Grade man’s expression did not change, but there was a hint of panic in his eyes. “Don’t think that you’re invincible just because you’re at the Jade Grade n.o.ble Realm!
“There are no less than ten people under my master who are Jade Grade that everyone knows!
“Even if you’re at the Jade Grade n.o.ble Realm, you’re nothing in front of my master!”
