Help him! Even if you die in battle!!!

“Is there a situation?”

Wang Hong looked suspicious and hurried forward.

He saw Li Xunle staring coldly at a corpse on the ground.

A middle-aged couple was heartbroken over the body.

Standing beside Li Xunle were a young man and woman.

They were Li Chen, Sword Saint and Li Yue, who had followed out of concern for Li Xunle after hearing him say his brother had died on the phone, hoping to help in some way.

Wang Hong’s eyes darted around, and looking at the corpse on the ground, he couldn't help but ask, “He is?”

“Zhao Hao!”

Li Xunle’s tone was very unfeeling, and his gaze towards Wang Hong was full of anger.

How could he not be angry?

He had specifically entrusted Wang Hong to look after Zhao Hao, only for him to return and find him dead.

How could things be handled this way?

The crucial part was that his Resurrection Technique had just been used on Li Yue... not that it shouldn't have been used, but the timing was just incredibly frustrating.

Wang Hong’s face was very grim at this moment: “I remember, he was the brother you asked us to protect.”

“Yes, what do you say now?”

Li Xunle’s tone was cold.

Wang Hong’s face alternated between green and white: “How long has he been dead?”

Mother Zhao, teary-eyed, was prostrate over Zhao Hao’s body: “He’s been dead for over half an hour...”

Wang Hong suddenly looked up at Li Xunle, his voice urgent: “Don’t you have the Resurrection Technique? Hurry and save him, there’s still time!”

Li Xunle, however, stood with his arms crossed, unmoving.

“Hmph!”

He let out a cold snort and turned his head to look at the hazy sky above.

“Uh... this.” Wang Hong was very puzzled.

Li Chen, Sword Saint’s expression was very complex, and he slowly spoke at this moment: “I’m sorry, Li Xunle’s Resurrection Technique was just used on my sister...”

He lowered his head, his face slightly red, seemingly very embarrassed.

Li Yue also lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xunle.

At this moment, Li Chen, Sword Saint and Li Yue both felt extremely guilty.

If the Resurrection Technique hadn’t been used on Li Yue, Li Xunle could have saved Zhao Hao.

Therefore, they were now both very uneasy and apologetic.

Wang Hong looked at Li Yue next to Li Chen, Sword Saint, suddenly understanding, his shoulders instantly slumped, his voice full of helplessness: “I’m truly sorry, we were overwhelmed ourselves, Tang Long also died!”

Li Xunle was slightly surprised by these words.

Tang Long... died?

He subtly turned his body, glanced at Wang Hong, and said nothing.

At this moment, Wang Hong’s face was covered in worry, his expression very grim, with deep forehead wrinkles, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

He felt deeply guilty.

He hadn't fulfilled what he promised.

How could he possibly ask Li Xunle for a luck crystal now?

He didn't have the face for it.

Zhao Hao’s death almost marked the end of their relationship.

Although Wang Hong knew he had no face to speak, he still bit the bullet and asked: “How did Zhao Hao die? There shouldn’t be any monsters in the Eighth District.”

Mother Zhao was crying over Zhao Hao’s body, not wanting to speak anymore.

Father Zhao wiped the tears from his old face: “He was murdered!”

Wang Hong was stunned by the news, murdered?

He asked doubtfully: “Did you clearly see who killed him?”

Father Zhao shook his head, his voice trembling: “I didn’t see clearly, I only know it was an assassin with a stealth skill.”

Wang Hong immediately squatted down and examined the wound on Zhao Hao’s body.

Indeed!

There was a huge, shocking wound on Zhao Hao’s back.

Wang Hong let out a long breath: “This was a premeditated act! Tang Long wasn’t killed by a monster either!”

Upon hearing this, Li Xunle’s eyes filled with killing intent.

A premeditated act?

Who? Lin Lei?

His voice carried a hint of coldness as he asked Wang Hong: “Do you think it’s Lin Lei?”

Wang Hong’s tone was uncertain: “The current situation makes it impossible to judge, it might require investigation!”

Li Xunle, however, was furious: “Investigation? Why not just go directly and ask him?”

Li Xunle didn’t want to slowly investigate; he only wanted to quickly find the murderer and avenge Zhao Hao.

Seeing Li Xunle’s cold expression, Wang Hong hesitated: “But Lin Lei is the deputy director of the Law Enforcement Bureau in the Third District...”

Li Xunle was not afraid of Lin Lei, and never had been.

Now that Zhao Hao was dead, he no longer had any weaknesses.

So, he spoke without hesitation: “There are no ‘buts.’ I’m going to find Lin Lei right now and get to the bottom of this. If he did it, none of them will live.”

His tone was unequivocal.

Wang Hong’s eyes showed extreme shock: “That represents the Law Enforcement Bureau! The Xia Country Law Enforcement Bureau! You need to think carefully! Their Lin family has someone who is a Xia Country Guardian, named Lin Shu.”

Li Xunle ignored him, a hint of disdain on his face: “Lin Shu? I’ll kill him all the same!”

Having said that, he turned to leave.

Wang Hong suddenly looked up and shouted: “Li Xunle, although I know I have no right to ask you for a luck crystal fragment, but for the sake of the lives of the people in this district, can you give me one, even the lowest grade?”

Li Xunle’s moving footsteps stopped.

After a moment of thought, he pulled out a one-star luck crystal fragment of the lowest quality and threw it to Wang Hong: “This is for Fengchu Academy being in the Ninth District.”

After speaking, Li Xunle turned and left, preparing to go to the Third District to find Lin Lei.

At this moment, Li Chen, Sword Saint suddenly called out to Li Xunle: “Li Xunle, wait!”

With that, he took a few steps forward and placed a hand on Li Xunle’s shoulder: “I’m sorry, if it weren’t for my sister’s situation, your brother wouldn’t have...”

Li Xunle said nothing, his gaze deep as he looked straight ahead.

His eyes narrowed slightly, lost in thought.

Li Chen, Sword Saint looked at Li Xunle earnestly: “If you don’t mind, from now on, I, Li Chen, Sword Saint, am your brother!”

Li Xunle was slightly startled by these words, then gently shook his head.

The next second, Li Xunle instantly vanished from his spot, appearing hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

Li Chen, Sword Saint stood frozen, a bit dazed.

A huge sense of guilt surged in his heart.

Because of his sister, Li Xunle’s brother lost the chance to be resurrected.

At this moment, he really wanted to give his life to Li Xunle.

Unfortunately, even if he did, Zhao Hao still couldn’t be resurrected.

Wang Hong watched Li Xunle disappear instantly, his pupils trembling.

It turned out that he possessed such a miraculous displacement skill.

Li Yue awkwardly walked beside Li Chen, Sword Saint, feeling at a loss: “Brother, this...”

Li Chen, Sword Saint gently shook his head, unsure what to say.

At this moment, Wang Hong looked at the incomplete luck crystal in his hand, then at Li Xunle’s receding figure.

After a long silence, he let out a sigh and slowly pulled out his phone, his fingers trembling slightly as he dialed Wang Hao’s number.

“Uncle, what’s up?”

Wang Hao’s questioning voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Wang Hao, listen to me! Now! You immediately, right now, go to the Law Enforcement Bureau in Wolong City’s Third District. Li Xunle might be going on a rampage.”

“Ah? Brother, he’s going on a rampage, so what’s the purpose of you telling me to go?”

“His brother, Zhao Hao, died! It’s my fault, no matter what he does now, you must support him! Even if it means... fighting to the death!!!”

Wang Hong’s voice trembled slightly.

He bore a great responsibility for this matter.

He had to show his sincerity.

If he could, he would be willing to help Li Xunle, even if it meant death.

However, the people of the Ninth District were still depending on him, so he couldn't be so reckless.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Hao was stunned by the news, then his tone became deep: “Don’t worry, Uncle, I will definitely do it!”

With that, Wang Hao hung up the phone.

Wang Hong nodded with relief, then, holding the luck crystal, he quickly rushed towards the Ninth District Law Enforcement Bureau.

His figure quickly disappeared into the gray fog...
