146: Sit back and wait

Outside Purple Bamboo Manor in Dongfeng Town.

A figure, clad in a wide robe and wearing a straw hat and hood, quietly approached Purple Bamboo Manor.

"You brat, hiding in town! You made me look for so long!"

"You ruined my path to promotion, so I'll kill your whole family."

Under his mask, Ling Jianglong's eyes blazed with intense Killing Intent.

Although he had lost an arm, he was still a Late Stage Spirit Martial Realm expert.

He could still easily escape from numerous encirclements.

However, for Ling Jianglong, the first person he had to kill and take revenge on was Jiang Chen.

After all, everything had started because of Jiang Chen.

If it weren't for Jiang Chen's shout, the demon might not have known that he had a blood nether fruit in his hand.

Therefore, everything was because of Jiang Chen.

First, he would chop off this brat's head before anything else.

Otherwise, the resentment in his heart would be difficult to dispel.

He, who should have achieved fame and success, had now become a rat in the street, hated by everyone.

He had even become a wanted criminal of the Great Lan Dynasty.

It was precisely because there had been too many incidents within the Great Lan Dynasty recently.

Thus, the top-tier capture teams had not yet been dispatched.

If the general capture teams were truly deployed, Ling Jianglong estimated his days would not be easy.

Due to his inconvenient identity, he first made inquiries in Cangzhou City, and with great difficulty, he finally found Jiang Chen's information, eventually locating him within Purple Bamboo Manor in Dongfeng Town.

Just as Ling Jianglong burst into Purple Bamboo Manor, ready to go on a killing spree...

He discovered that Purple Bamboo Manor was completely empty!

"What!?"

"Why is no one here?"

Ling Jianglong thought he had received the wrong intelligence, or perhaps had come to the wrong place.

He searched the entire Purple Bamboo Manor but couldn't find Jiang Chen.

Moreover, based on the traces at the scene, Jiang Chen and the others must have just left.

Ling Jianglong inquired shortly after and learned that Jiang Chen and his group had gone to Cangzhou City again!

"Damn it!"

Ling Jianglong stomped his foot on the ground.

The entire house shook violently, and then collapsed with a crash.

"Let's see where you can run to!"

Ling Jianglong used to be a Demon Slayer Guard, and he was very familiar with some of the Demon Slayer Guard's actions and whereabouts.

Jiang Chen rushing to Cangzhou City so urgently must mean he had a new mission to execute.

A few days ago, when he was inquiring in Cangzhou City, he happened to hear that the Tian Po Sect's group seemed to have appeared near the Mengyin Mountain Range.

"It seems they've given this brat another good assignment."

"And Lu Qian seems to be taking unusual care of this brat!"

Ling Jianglong was not stupid. After pondering for a few days, he also inquired about some of the subsequent situations from that day, knowing that Lu Qian had made a contribution, and his heart was filled with immense pain.

After careful consideration, Ling Jianglong quickly set off for the Mengyin Mountain Range.

"That brat shouldn't know about the blood nether fruit!"

"Unless he's met Li Biao and the others!"

"Oh! I understand!"

"In the demon den, was it Jiang Chen who killed Li Biao and the others!?"

"No, even if it wasn't Jiang Chen, it must be related to him!"

"If I capture Jiang Chen, there's still room for redemption."

Ling Jianglong's eyes lit up.

As he pondered, everything seemed to become clear.

Only Li Biao knew that the blood nether fruit was in his hands.

The others only knew there was a blood nether fruit, but they didn't know it was in his possession, let alone that he had already placed it in his Storage Ring, making it even more impossible for anyone to know.

Thinking of this, Ling Jianglong's hatred for Jiang Chen deepened.

"No... if Jiang Chen killed Li Biao, wouldn't he also be able to kill me?"

Ling Jianglong suddenly realized this.

But he quickly shook his head again.

"Impossible. Li Biao was Earth Martial Realm strength, and with many Disciples forming a sword array, he was invincible among those of the same Realm."

"This brat must have just gotten lucky."

"It seems I need to spread some news, saying that the demonic sky flower is in Jiang Chen's hands!"

"Fenglan Sword Sect would rather kill the wrong person than let anyone go!"

After Ling Jianglong sorted everything out in his mind.

He immediately let out a few sinister laughs and quickly left Purple Bamboo Manor.

When Ling Jianglong left Purple Bamboo Manor.

On the rooftops of the distant city, several figures had been watching the situation here.

"Old Huang, your wait wasn't in vain, was it!"

"That brat really showed his hand."

Wang Fusheng gazed in the direction of Purple Bamboo Manor.

Beside him was Huang Luwei, who had rushed from Cangzhou City.

What a joke.

Huang Luwei, as a Demon Suppressing Envoy.

He had been slashed several times and nearly died!

How could this matter just pass so easily?

Just as Huang Luwei was worrying about how to find Ling Jianglong, he received a message from Wang Fusheng.

Wang Fusheng sent the message to Huang Luwei because Jiang Chen had reminded him.

Jiang Chen had been staying at home for the past few days, hoping that Ling Jianglong would actively deliver himself, but he hadn't waited.

However, Jiang Chen analyzed that this guy was very likely to come and raid his home, but he just hadn't found him yet.

So, before leaving, Jiang Chen told the news to Wang Fusheng.

Wang Fusheng immediately notified Huang Luwei.

Huang Luwei also brought two Demon Suppressing Envoys to stake out the place.

Sure enough, they managed to catch that brat.

"Hmph, dare to order people to chop me! This time, I'll skin you alive!"

"The bounty on this brat's head is now ten thousand Spirit Stones. When I get the bounty, I'll split it with you then!"

In terms of strength alone, Huang Luwei was only slightly weaker than Ling Jianglong.

A Divine Soul Realm Cultivator who has entered the Firefly Realm is equivalent to an Earth Martial Realm Cultivator.

Huang Luwei was now a Nine Tripod Divine Soul.

Soul Cultivators were inherently at a disadvantage in close combat. Coupled with the fact that Huang Luwei had expended too much Qi when slaying the demon, he suffered a great loss when he was ambushed at close range.

This time, Huang Luwei had also directly brought two helpers.

It was more than enough to play Ling Jianglong to death!

The Demon Suppressing Envoys were few in number, so they were quite cohesive. After all, the path of a Soul Cultivator required mutual support and discussion to continue progressing.

Therefore, Demon Suppressing Envoys were generally very united, tackling problems together.

If Ling Jianglong dared to chop one Demon Suppressing Envoy today, he would dare to chop ten Demon Suppressing Envoys tomorrow!

Watching the three figures depart in anger.

Wang Fusheng also sighed slightly.

Poor Ling Jianglong, he probably wouldn't have an easy time now.

Outside Cangzhou City.

Jiang Chen took a moment to look at the map; Yingzui Peak was still over eighty li away.

After confirming his direction, he directly plunged into the jungle.

This was a wild forest.

Very suitable for abandoning corpses in the wilderness.

"That brat wants to escape! Surround him!"

The pursuing soldiers, seeing Jiang Chen's movements, immediately accelerated and charged over.

Thump!

Everyone rushed forward.

Who knew that as soon as they stepped into the forest...

They heard whistling arrows shooting from the front.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The leader was still in a charging posture.

He wanted to lead his subordinates forward, but suddenly heard explosions all around him.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The man's eyes widened instantly.

He turned his head and saw that he was the only one alive!

A storm immediately surged in his heart.

This Jiang Chen... wasn't he just a small Demon Slayer Guard Banner Officer!?
