Chapter 31 As everyone knows, I don't keep my promises.

"Ah!!!"

The long night; a shrill scream broke the silence of the night, startling countless black crows.

Under an old tree with withered vines.

Wei Bin rolled on the ground endlessly; beside him was a severed arm, blood gushing from the stump.

"Retainer Duan! Great Hero Duan! Grandpa Duan!!"

"Spare my life!!"

"I won't dare again!!"

Xie Kun watched from the side, heart pounding with fear.

Fortunately, he was sensible and cooperated obediently; otherwise, it would be him screaming now.

Yan Chu said expressionlessly:

"Rest assured, my blade is fast!"

"And I'm in a rush. Originally I said I'd mince you into ten thousand pieces, now I'll just mince you into a few dozen."

"You should be secretly happy about that!"

After saying this, ignoring Wei Bin's begging and screaming, the blade flashed repeatedly, strips of flesh separated, parts were severed, and the shrill screams were endless.

Xie Kun watched with increasing terror, and finally, unable to bear such a bloody scene, ran to the side and began to vomit.

In the end, after carving Wei Bin down to a skeleton, Yan Chu stopped.

By this time, he had been dead for a while.

【Cruelly killed the madman who conspired against you, settled the grudge, EXP +500】

Yan Chu sheathed his blade, the fire accumulated in his heart released, feeling much more comfortable.

Then, he looked toward a spot not far ahead.

Noticing Yan Chu's gaze, Xie Kun shuddered, hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Great Hero Duan, Grandpa! You promised to spare my life!"

Yan Chu chuckled, but what he said made him despair.

"I am a hero who helps those in need, and a demon who kills without blinking. As everyone knows, I do not keep my promises!"

"You...!"

Xie Kun gritted his teeth, finally feeling dead inside.

In this short day, he had re-evaluated Yan Chu.

Given the ruthlessness of the man in front of him, he shouldn't have delusionally hoped to escape with his life.

Yan Chu added: "Considering you were somewhat honest, I'll give you a quick death, and let you die knowing the truth!"

Saying this, he dispelled his Disguise Art and restored his original appearance.

"You... this..."

Xie Kun pointed at Yan Chu, looking at the young and handsome face in front of him, greatly shocked.

In an instant, he understood a lot.

"So, Wei Bin's guess was all correct..."

"Hahaha!!!"

Xie Kun looked up and laughed miserably, "So Wei Bin was right!! Yan Chu is Duan Zhengchun! Duan Zhengchun is Yan Chu!"

"Yan Chu, oh Yan Chu, you are truly something!"

"I, Old Xie, admire you! I admire you to the ground!!"

Until just now, he hadn't revealed his true face.

I'm afraid Lian Jiaze and Wei Bin both thought they died at the hands of Duan Zhengchun, and were regretting provoking him, right?

Now that he has revealed his true face, I will definitely die!

Yan Chu was in high spirits.

Tonight he not only achieved a Breakthrough to the Fourth Realm, but also killed his enemy with his own hands; he was in a wonderful mood.

This was the first time he had shown his true face in nearly a month.

Xie Kun should feel proud of this!

"Hmph! Don't be smug for too long!"

Xie Kun said coldly: "You left so many flaws tonight; the Four Seas Pavilion and the Lian Family will track you down sooner or later."

"By then, let's see what you do?"

"That won't require your concern!"

Yan Chu walked over step by step; Xie Kun had completely given up resistance.

Just looking coldly at Yan Chu, saying with resentment: "I'll wait for you in the underworld!"

Bang!

Yan Chu kept his word and gave him a quick death.

He just punched him into a mist of blood, so no one could find out his identity.

Then he didn't linger, strode away, and soon disappeared into the distance.

More than an hour later, before dawn, Yan Chu returned to the Mountain God Temple.

He didn't disturb the night watchmen, leaped over the high wall, and landed lightly in the courtyard.

At the entrance of the side hall opposite, the Masked Woman stood quietly, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Yan Chu was not surprised at all.

When he left two hours ago, he knew she had noticed.

Nodding to her, Yan Chu pushed open the door of the side hall and walked in.

The Masked Woman's expression shifted slightly, her long eyelashes flickered, and she also turned and returned to the side hall...

...

Early morning.

The usually quiet Cangchun Tower was awakened by several consecutive screams.

Before long, the entire Cangchun Tower was sealed off by the Six Doors.

Not long after, the head of the Lian Family appeared in the Earth-character No. 12 private room.

"Brother Lian, please accept my condolences!"

In the room, another Blue Uniform Commandant of the Six Doors, Hou Kai, comforted him.

If it were an ordinary murder case, a Blue Uniform Commandant wouldn't need to appear.

But this time, the direct descendant of the Lian Family had died.

Moreover, Hou Kai and the Lian Family had always had a good relationship.

After hearing about this, he made the trip himself.

Lian Weitao was expressionless, his eyes unmoving.

But anyone with a discerning eye knew this was a sign of extreme anger and grief.

This Lian Family head had lost two sons in a row within a month; he must have been suppressing monstrous anger.

Lian Weitao spoke without a hint of fluctuation in his voice: "Commandant Hou, can you find out who did this?"

Hou Kai said: "The attacker's martial arts style is quite unfamiliar, but there is True Qi residue at the scene; it should be a Fourth Realm Martial Artist."

"I asked the madam of Cangchun Tower; last night, Li Xiangwen's nephew and your son were together, then separated to rest in different rooms."

"But this morning, Li Xiangwen's nephew was nowhere to be found, and no one saw him leave."

"I have ordered my men to search for his tracks; once we find him, we should be able to identify the killer of your son."

"Good! Thank you, Brother Hou!"

Lian Weitao thanked him and turned to leave the private room.

He dared not look at his son's corpse.

Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would tear down the entire Cangchun Tower.

The events at Cangchun Tower spread extremely quickly, becoming a hot topic in Longhua Prefecture.

Inside the Four Seas Pavilion.

Clatter!

Left Protector Li Xiangwen was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with small eyes.

He swept the teacup off the table, smashing it into pieces on the floor.

"What does Head Constable Yuan mean by this? Are you saying my nephew has something to do with Lian Jiaze's death?"

Those small eyes were slightly gloomy, and his two small mustaches twitched, looking quite comical.

In front of him was the Green Uniform Head Constable of the Six Doors, Yuan Yan.

Although a Fifth Realm Master was in front of him, Yuan Yan had the backing of the Six Doors and did not fear him, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

"Protector Li is overthinking it!"

"There is currently no evidence to prove Wei Bin has any connection to Lian Jiaze's death. We just want to take some of Wei Bin's items and use the scent-tracing worm to find him first."

"Otherwise, if too much time passes, the scent will dissipate, and even the scent-tracing worm won't be able to help."

"In addition, we also need to ask about who your nephew has had contact with within your pavilion recently; please make it convenient for us, and don't make it difficult for us!"

Li Xiangwen's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, he nodded slowly.

"Good! Then you find Bin'er first; I also need to confirm his safety!"

Thus, a meticulous investigation began.

With the methods of the Six Doors, the clues gradually became clear, ultimately pointing to a single result.

On the other side, the group from the Xinglong Escort Agency finally arrived at Yuchuan Wharf, moved all the cargo onto the ship, and would next head straight down the Yang River, eventually arriving at Linshui Prefecture.
