558: Linchuan, my followers, I want you to die! (4k)

"He Zhang!"

"What exactly are you trying to do?!"

He Linchuan shouted, attempting to break free from his restraints.

But his strength was far too inferior to He Zhang's; he couldn't break free even in the slightest.

"Hehe, Xiao Hu, you will know what I want to do very soon."

He Zhang sneered, grabbed He Linchuan, and brought him to a secluded room in the He Family estate.

And here, there were actually two people whom He Linchuan did not recognize at all, already waiting.

One of them was none other than the leader of the group from Bone Bloom who had previously intercepted and looted Lin Yang in the wilderness!

He Zhang pointed at He Linchuan and said to the leader, "Lord Leng, this little brat's perception is too keen. He suddenly told me the news that Lin Yang was coming earlier, and he even noticed my subconscious abnormal reaction. Fortunately, I was on guard, otherwise he really would have sent the message out."

Hearing this, the leader glanced at He Linchuan and said indifferently, "Do not kill him yet. Imprison him here so that Lin Yang does not sense anything amiss and decide not to come. He just finished sending a message to the other party, so presumably, Lin Yang will not be suspicious anymore. Once the main business is done, we can just kill this kid."

"Good." He Zhang nodded.

Hearing their conversation, He Linchuan instantly understood everything. He looked at He Zhang in disbelief and shouted:

"He Zhang! You asked my master to come here, just to collude with people from Bone Bloom to take the opportunity to deal with my master?!"

"You all want to seize my master's treasure?!"

He understood. In that instant, he understood everything.

It was widely rumored in the city that Lin Yang possessed a supreme treasure. Furthermore, after he was looted by Bone Bloom people outside the city last time, quite some time had passed, and yet no major figures had appeared behind Lin Yang.

Coupled with the fact that some experts skilled in the art of divination had deduced that Lin Yang had almost no background, it was concluded that his treasure was likely obtained through sheer luck.

Therefore, the people from Bone Bloom and He Zhang dared to take advantage of the opportunity of the courtesy visit to secretly deal with Lin Yang!

Having figured out the cause, He Linchuan's eyes instantly split with rage. He glared at He Zhang and shouted:

"No wonder you kept wanting me to move back into the clan, and your attitude did a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, acting as if you genuinely wanted to befriend my master and have my master come for a courtesy visit!"

"You had already colluded with the people from Bone Bloom in secret, just waiting for my master to come to your door so you could make your move, right?!"

Although killing was prohibited in the city, that was only on the surface. As long as you had the ability to avoid being discovered and caught by the City Lord's Mansion after killing, then nothing would happen!

And if He Zhang joined forces with the experts of Bone Bloom to launch a sneak attack on Lin Yang during this courtesy visit, the chances of success would be too high!!

This left He Linchuan not only shocked but also anxiously worried. He didn't bother trying to argue that Lin Yang had no treasure; no one would believe that anyway!

He looked at He Zhang with fury, clearly not expecting He Zhang to be so ruthless.

"Hahaha, little brat, so what if it is?" He Zhang sneered, "You only know now, but it's already too late. Just wait to go underground and reunite with your cheap master later."

"He Zhang!" He Linchuan growled, "I don't understand, how dare you collude with the people from Bone Bloom in secret! What exactly did they give you that makes you willing to take such a huge risk to do their bidding!"

By colluding with the people from Bone Bloom, even if there was a treasure, it would not fall into He Zhang's hands; he would only end up as a vassal of Bone Bloom.

And colluding with underground forces like Bone Bloom was something despised by everyone in the city! Because no one had ever not been robbed by Bone Bloom! Yet now, He Zhang was actually willing to do their bidding! If this got out, he would be mocked by other experts and family forces in the city! He Zhang was simply crazy! He could not understand what kind of benefit could make He Zhang willing to do such a thing!

"That is not something for you, Xiao Hu, to worry about!"

He Zhang glared at him coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave the secret room with the leader, leaving only the other person to watch him.

He Linchuan's mood instantly became heavy. His brain began to race, secretly pondering a way to break the deadlock.

"I just spoke with Master, and Master said he was coming soon. Before arriving, Master shouldn't call me again. Otherwise, if I don't answer, Master will notice something is wrong. But now, Master basically won't communicate with me again! From Master's Villa to the He Family, at Master's speed, under normal circumstances, it only takes a few minutes to arrive! It's too fast! I must find a way to let Master know that he cannot come to the He Family!"

He Linchuan forced himself to calm down. At this time, he could not panic, and he had to find a way to send out the message that something was wrong here. However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a feasible method. His strength was sealed, and his communication tool had been taken away. There was another expert from Bone Bloom guarding him in this secret room! He had no chance to pass on any message.

As for He Linxue. "Little sister was just called out by me to buy things. She might contact me at any time to ask, but by the time she realizes something is wrong, Master will probably have already arrived! It's too late, it's all too late!"

He Linchuan's eyes began to bloodshot and turn red from excessive anxiety. "What to do! What on earth can be done to let Master know that this courtesy visit is problematic and that the He Family is up to no good!"

Beads of sweat began to drip down He Linchuan's forehead. The situation before him was almost a dead end. The distance was too close, and having just finished a call, Lin Yang would not suspect anything and would definitely come directly to the He Family. Even if he suspected something upon arriving and seeing him not there, it would be too late to retreat. Since Bone Bloom was colluding and cooperating with He Zhang, this time it must have been planned perfectly; they had definitely laid a net of inescapable traps! As soon as Lin Yang approached the He Family, something would happen! With the influence and strength of Bone Bloom, if they really wanted to kill someone in the city, they had plenty of ways to conceal their aura and presence. As long as they finished the battle in a short time, the Patrol Team of the City Lord's Mansion would not even have time to arrive at the scene to rescue him!

"No! I absolutely cannot let Master get into trouble! Absolutely not!" The next instant, He Linchuan seemed to think of something and appeared to have made a decision; a flash of determination crossed his eyes.

"Master, please forgive this disciple for being unfilial; I can only repay your kindness in the next life!"

Suddenly, He Linchuan gave a low shout and instantly ended his own life within the secret room. The speed was so fast that the guy from Bone Bloom guarding him didn't even react!

Yes. Suicide! He Linchuan chose suicide. Only by committing suicide could he let Lin Yang know that the situation here was wrong. After becoming a disciple, there would be a mysterious connection between master and disciple. Once one party encountered a life-and-death situation, both could sense it. This was the Power of Rules. Within Yun Que City, no one could isolate this connection! Only by dying could he break the deadlock!

"Master, thank you for giving me the last beautiful period of my life..."

Tears streamed down He Linchuan's eyes as his body fell to the ground. He did not regret making this decision! It was only in the days after meeting Lin Yang that he had lived a life with dignity. His little sister also had the ability to take care of herself. If it were before, he might have hesitated because there would be no one to take care of He Linxue if he died. But now, he had no worries.

"It's fortunate that I let Little Sister go out to buy things in the city before contacting He Zhang. Presumably, after Master notices the abnormality, he will protect Little Sister immediately. Father, Mother, your son is coming to find you..."

He Linchuan closed his eyes. In the final moment as his consciousness faded, many fragments of his life flashed through his mind, and finally, he closed his eyes peacefully. The only regret was not being able to let Master see him break through to the Breaking Universe Realm with his own eyes.

Meanwhile, in Star Divination Tower.

"This set of weapons and armor is not bad; it suits Linchuan!"

Lin Yang, wearing a mask, had recovered the beast materials and was selecting a full set of equipment suitable for He Linchuan in the weapon and equipment area. The formal apprenticeship gift he intended to give He Linchuan was a full set of equipment. Good equipment!

After looking around, Lin Yang said directly to the deacon beside him, "I'll take this whole set. Swipe the card to settle the payment."

The one receiving him at Star Divination Tower this time was a senior deacon, who immediately said upon hearing this, "You have a good eye, sir. This set of equipment is one of the few complete sets of high-level weapons and equipment in this branch, making it most suitable for gifting to juniors!"

This senior deacon was very polite. This was because the beast materials Lin Yang had just recovered were all at the Boundary Realm level two. Moreover, the wounds on various materials were extremely smooth, clearly not the kind killed by a multi-person Squad. When a multi-person Squad hunts, because the Dao they master is different, no matter how they process it, some disorder is unavoidable. But the beast corpse materials Lin Yang just recovered could be seen at a glance to have been killed by the same person, and the quantity was not small. Being able to hunt Boundary Realm level two beasts alone, this strength was rare even in the entire Yun Que City. Naturally, the deacon was more enthusiastic toward such a big client. As for this set of equipment, it wasn't actually too precious, but he could also see that this was something Lin Yang intended to gift to a junior.

Lin Yang smiled; such polite flattery was just something to listen to. Of course, his taste was indeed good! This set of equipment cost him a full 26 million! It was 10 million more expensive than his spear. The beasts he had hunted over that month or so had only sold for a total of over 30 million. But he spent nearly 30 million just buying this set of equipment! Don't look at how much he made in a month or so; it was mainly because his own strength was too strong, allowing him to hunt alone, and his hunting speed and efficiency were very high. If it were a Squad, even a five-person Squad, hunting a few heads a month was already the limit. After the five people split it, each person would only have a few hundred thousand to a million a month. This sounds like a lot, but in reality, it's not enough for consumption. Resources for the Boundary Realm are ridiculously expensive. Although this set of weapons and equipment was not cheap, it wasn't meant for Boundary Realm experts after all.

Subsequently, Lin Yang walked out of the Star Divination Tower with the equipment in satisfaction and headed to the He Family.

"If that kid Linchuan sees this set of equipment later, he will probably get excited again."

Lin Yang thought, revealing a hint of a smile. When this kid reported to him earlier that he had broken through to the Breaking Universe Realm, his tone had been very excited. Suddenly—

Lin Yang's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he felt a slight stinging pain in his heart. Then, with a feeling in his heart, he looked toward the direction of the He Family.

"It's Linchuan!" "Something happened to Linchuan!"

Lin Yang's expression changed drastically in an instant. In that moment, he understood something. That mysterious connection, if he wasn't mistaken, meant that He Linchuan... had died!

"Died at the He Family?"

A coldness seeped from Lin Yang's eyes: "He just reported good news to me, but in the blink of an eye, not even a few minutes later, he died at the He Family! There must be a problem here!"

Lin Yang looked up, coldly gazing at where the He Family was located, and after a pause, rushed toward the He Family at an even faster speed.

He Linchuan died suddenly, and he thought of some possibilities almost instantly. And among all the possibilities, the most likely one was that He Linchuan had encountered some emergency and could only use death to convey some information to him.

"This silly kid has always been optimistic. Even in those difficult days before, he never had any dark thoughts. Now that days have gotten better, there is no reason for him to die! But he died, and it was very likely suicide. Because the He Family had no reason to kill him at such a juncture. And the reason that could make him commit suicide... is it me? Could the He Family's invitation for me to go there be a trap? Was it because Linchuan discovered a problem, got caught, and could only use death to warn me?"

Lin Yang was also brainstorming rapidly. He quickly guessed some possibilities. Afterward, a cold killing intent emerged around his body!

"He Family! Daring to force my disciple to his death, no matter what conspiracies or tricks you have today, I will pay a visit! To avenge my disciple!"

Lin Yang walked quickly for a few steps, and in a deserted corner, he quietly activated Absolute Domain, hiding himself as he entered the He Family. Although he felt that he had definitely guessed correctly, he shouldn't act rashly without substantial evidence. And after he hid himself into the He Family, he immediately confirmed his guess! Because he sensed the aura of that leader from Bone Bloom within the He Family! Although this guy was also hiding, he was still discovered by him instantly.

Following that, Lin Yang spread his senses and had the system also search the He Family. Then, he saw He Linchuan's body in the secret room. In an instant, Lin Yang's eyes turned red as blood!

"It was the He Family who joined forces with Bone Bloom to take action against me while I was coming for the courtesy visit! And Linchuan saw through their plan, so they imprisoned Linchuan, forcing this silly kid to commit suicide to warn me!"

All reasons were answered the moment he saw He Linchuan's body.

"He Family! Bone Bloom! I want you all dead!!"

Boom! The next instant. Lin Yang's aura surged, and Absolute Domain instantly covered the He Family, completely isolating this area from being peered into by outsiders. Then. Violent power aura and cold killing intent shrouded the entire He Family! As the He Family members panicked, Lin Yang stepped out from the void, coldly watching everyone.

"Linchuan, my disciple. Master will avenge you now!"
