"boom!"
A loud bang that shook the world resounded through the sky, and a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high rose in the wasteland. Li Qingyuan's body was instantly blown to pieces in the explosion.
After killing Li Qingyuan, Lin Yu slowly landed on the ground and counted the items scattered on the ground.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a strange blue crystal on the ground attracted Lin Yu's attention.
Lin Yu picked up the crystal, observed it for a while, and then tentatively poured some energy into it.
"This is?"
The moment Lin Yu charged his energy into the blue crystal, he immediately sensed a breath coming from a distance.
And the direction of this breath was exactly the direction that Bai Jing and the others fled.
"It seems that the reason why this guy was able to catch up so quickly is probably because of this blue crystal."
Lin Yu looked at the blue crystal in his hand and frowned.
…
In the middle of the night, Xiao Li and his group were running desperately forward in the deserted wilderness, only wanting to escape to Dongchu as soon as possible.
At this moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly appeared above their heads.
"What?"
Feeling this amazing aura, Xiao Li suddenly looked towards the sky.
In the dark sky, a young man wearing a black robe slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Xiao Li and his party.
"Master Lin!"
Seeing that the person coming was Lin Yu, Xiao Li and his subordinates were immediately surprised.
Since Lin Yu appears here, the strong man sent by the Wang family must have been driven away.
Immediately, Xiao Li also quickly asked Lin Yu: "Master Lin, where are the Wang family's pursuers?"
Lin Yu replied lightly: "That guy is already dead..."
"died?"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Xiao Li was shocked.
The man who came to chase him could also fly with Qi, so his strength must be higher than that of the Martial King. But the extremely young-looking Mr. Lin in front of him could actually kill a Martial King who was at the same level as him?
From Xiao Li's perspective, at most he thought that Li Qingyuan who had just been chased was a Martial King.
If he were to know that this person was the Qin family elder whom the Wang family was attached to, his jaw would probably be shocked.
Just when Xiao Li was shocked, Lin Yu passed by him and walked straight towards the crowd in front.
"Master Lin?"
Xiao Li was also a little confused about Lin Yu's behavior.
Lin Yu slowly walked towards a thin man in the crowd, who was Yang Ting.
Seeing Lin Yu coming directly towards him, Yang Ting suddenly panicked. He had a vague feeling that Lin Yu knew something.
Although he was a little nervous, Yang Ting still pretended to be calm and asked Lin Yu: "Master Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Yu did not speak, but stretched out his hand and penetrated Yang Ting's collar at extremely fast speed.
"What?"
Lin Yu's sudden behavior immediately frightened Yang Ting and turned pale.
Hiss~!
Hearing the sound of clothes tearing, Lin Yu instantly scratched Yang Ting's clothes and took out a very exquisite blue crystal stone from Yang Ting's arms.
Bai Jing, who was on the carriage, already knew about Lin Yu's return. She wanted to go down to greet him, but she saw this inexplicable scene in front of her.
"Mr. Lin, what's going on?"
After getting off the carriage, Bai Jing also asked Lin Yu with a puzzled look.
Hearing Bai Jing's inquiry, Lin Yu took out another identical blue crystal from his arms and said in a deep voice: "The reason why we were caught up by the Wang family so quickly is because of this crystal!"
"What?" Bai Jing's eyes widened immediately after hearing Lin Yu's words.
While talking, Lin Yu threw one of the blue crystals to Bai Jing and explained to her: "I got this crystal from the person I chased. As for its function, you just need to go to it." You’ll understand once you put some inner energy into it.”
Bai Jing took the blue crystal and immediately poured some inner energy into the crystal. She instantly felt the aura of the blue crystal in Lin Yu's hand.
"let me see!"
At this time, Xiao Li also came over, took the blue crystal stone from Bai Jing's hand, and felt it with inner energy.
After confirming the efficacy of the blue crystal stone, Xiao Li's face suddenly darkened. He looked at Yang Ting with burning eyes and asked, "Yang Ting, what on earth is going on?"
Seeing that his deeds had been exposed, Yang Ting's knees suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground on the spot.
"Miss Bai, shopkeeper, I really have no other choice, so I made this decision! I really don't want to leave my hometown and leave Tianyun, so I was instigated by the villain!"
"So, you really betrayed me?"
Xiao Li's face was gloomy, his fists clenched loudly, and his eyes looking at Yang Ting were full of disappointment.
"yes……"
Now that the matter has come to this, Yang Ting has no choice but to admit it.
Seeing that Yang Ting had been caught, Sun Liang in the crowd prepared to sneak away while no one noticed him.
Sun Liang's behavior was immediately noticed by Yang Ting.
Seeing that Sun Liang was about to run away, Yang Ting immediately pointed his finger at Sun Liang and shouted excitedly: "It's him. It's this guy who tricked me into colluding with the Wang family."
Seeing that Yang Ting had exposed him in public, Sun Liang couldn't care less at this time and immediately ran forward quickly.
However, before he ran a few steps, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked down and found an arrow of blood spurting out from the heart of his chest.
"This is?"
Seeing the blood constantly coming out of his chest, Sun Liang's eyes were filled with disbelief, and then he fell to the ground.
In the crowd at this time, Lin Yuzheng stretched his fingers forward, his face full of chilling air.
Seeing Sun Liang being killed by Lin Yu with one finger, the expressions of all the Xiao family disciples present changed drastically, and their eyes looking at Lin Yu were full of fear and terror.
Yang Ting on the side was also secretly glad that he did not choose to escape. With Mr. Lin of the Martial King Realm here, he would definitely die if he tried to escape.
Seeing that Sun Liang had been dealt with, Bai Jing looked at Yang Ting on the ground and asked Xiao Li: "Shopkeeper Xiao, what are you going to do with this person?"
After hearing Bai Jing's words, Xiao Li also looked at Yang Ting on the ground with a solemn expression. He didn't speak for a long time, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Shopkeeper, I..."
Being looked at by Xiao Li with such a strange look, Yang Ting also felt a little numb. He knew that he had betrayed Xiao Li's trust.
Kneeling in front of everyone as a traitor, Yang Ting felt that every moment he was experiencing was torture. He only hoped that Xiao Li could take his own life as soon as possible.
Xiao Li looked at Yang Ting in front of him, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes were full of the King of Time and his hatred for iron.
After a long time, Xiao Li lamented helplessly and said in a deep voice: "I think you have done your best in running the business and made indelible contributions to the development of the business. Since you are not willing to leave your hometown, then, You...let's go!"
"What?!" After hearing Xiao Li's words, Yang Ting froze on the spot. His eyes were wide open at this moment. He couldn't believe that Xiao Li let him go just like that.
Seeing that Yang Ting was stunned for a long time, Xiao Li immediately roared at him: "Go, don't appear in front of me again!"
Hearing Xiao Li's roar, Yang Ting immediately stood up, shook his numb legs, glanced at Xiao Li, and ran away quickly.
When Yang Ting left, he kept looking back at Lin Yu, as if he was worried that Lin Yu would take action against him.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly.
Although he also felt that it was inappropriate for Xiao Li to let Yang Ting run away like this, it was a family matter after all, and Lin Yu couldn't say much about Xiao Li's decision.
After Yang Ting ran away, Bai Jing asked Xiao Li with a puzzled look on his face: "Shopkeeper Xiao, why did you let this traitor go?"
"Although Yang Ting betrayed the family, he did a lot of practical things for the Xiao family and the company..."
Xiao Li looked blankly at the direction where Yang Ting disappeared and murmured.
"And if I were him, I would probably make the same choice as him!"
After settling the matter, Xiao Li looked at everyone in the Xiao family again.
At this time, after the previous turmoil, all of his men's faces were covered in dust.
Looking at his disgraced subordinates, Xiao Li also said sternly: "Do you still want to leave? The border of Tianyun is more than ten miles ahead. If any of you are unwilling to leave your homeland, I, Xiao, will never do it." Forced to stay!”
While talking, Xiao Li took out another money bag from the space bracelet and raised it high to everyone.
"If any brother wants to leave the team, I will give you ten taels of gold as compensation."
Seeing Xiao Li's bizarre behavior, Bai Jing didn't understand his intentions at all.
Everyone present was fixated on the bag in Xiao Li's hand, but Xiao Li held up the bag for a long time, but no one spoke.
"Shopkeeper, I want to stay in Tianyun..."
At this time, a short boy raised his hand timidly.
Seeing that someone finally spoke, Xiao Li nodded immediately, then took out a piece of gold from the bag and handed it to the young man.
"Okay, here are ten taels of gold. Keep it! Have a good trip!"
"Well, thank you so much, shopkeeper!"
The young man took the gold with joy on his face, and then trotted away into the distance.
"Shopkeeper, I also want to stay in Tianyun!"
"The shopkeeper, me too!"
"Shopkeeper, I also want to..."
Seeing that someone actually received the gold from Xiao Li's hand, several more men raised their hands, received the gold from Xiao Li and left.
Most of the group of nearly thirty people originally left in one fell swoop, leaving only about a dozen people left.
These people are all old people who followed Xiao Li to Ningyang City in his early years. They can basically be regarded as Xiao Li's confidants.
After seeing that no one left, Xiao Li immediately said: "Okay, since everyone who should leave has left, it seems that everyone who is left is willing to go to Dongchu with me!"
Xiao Li's face changed slightly, and he said: "But I have agreed, we don't have any foundation in Dongchu. After arriving in Dongchu, we may have to live a life of hunger and satiety. What do you want now?" It’s not too late if you regret it!”
Someone in the crowd suddenly said: "Shopkeeper, I am willing to follow you to the death!"
Then, everyone shouted in unison: "Yes, we will follow the shopkeeper to the death!"
