Chapter 103

104. Chapter 104: A Pledge of Allegiance

"Hurry up, Li Yi, you must hold on, don't have anything happen."

A car sped on the highway.

In the driver's seat, a young woman of about twenty-five with short hair was driving with an anxious expression, rushing into the Waste City District, and then searching all the way in the direction of the last communication location.

Lin Yue was currently anxious and worried, very worried about Li Yi's safety.

She never expected that Yang Yi Long's side would suddenly turn hostile and then attack Li Yi ruthlessly.

Could it be that Yang Yi Long had already guessed that Li Yi taught him fake fist techniques? No, this was impossible. The matter of Li Yi teaching him fake fist techniques was known only to the two of them, with no third person knowing. Even if Yang Yi Long guessed that the fist technique might have problems, that was just suspicion; it was absolutely impossible to kill him, not to mention that Li Yi had now joined the Investigation Bureau and was an external combatant of the Investigation Bureau.

Killing an external combatant of the Investigation Bureau for no reason—once the truth was exposed, Yang Yi Long would be finished. How could he do such a stupid thing?

Lin Yue's brain was currently a mess.

If it weren't for Qin Qing suddenly contacting her and leaking this important news, she would still be kept in the dark and wouldn't know about such an important matter.

"I hope my previous call could serve as a warning and help Li Yi avoid this crisis." Lin Yue was secretly praying in her heart, only hoping that Li Yi was safe and sound.

Suddenly.

A scream came from a certain direction in the Waste City District.

Lin Yue, as an Inspiration Realm cultivator, immediately captured this signal. Her expression changed abruptly, and she immediately drove the car and sped toward the direction the sound came from.

The vehicle sped on the deserted road of the Waste City District.

As abandoned buildings moved away from her line of sight, when she reached an open area at an intersection, Lin Yue immediately saw something and slammed on the brakes.

The car tires rubbed against the ground, emitting a cloud of white smoke.

The vehicle had just stopped when the door opened with a *bang*.

Lin Yue moved like a startled rabbit, her figure agile as she sprang out from the driver's seat. Once she landed, she opened her Spirit Perception and then vigilantly patrolled the surroundings, trying to find Li Yi's tracks.

But there were none.

Bodies.

There were bodies one after another all around.

Fresh blood was still flowing; the blood hadn't even coagulated and was still steaming.

These bodies were lying on the ground in a mess, each body broken and incomplete—either chests dented or heads split open, the state of death was very tragic. And on several bodies, Lin Yue saw those familiar fist marks, each fist mark deep into the bone, enough to kill a person.

"These are all wanderers roaming in the Waste City District..." Lin Yue's expression changed slightly.

From the tragic state of the scene, it wasn't hard to deduce.

These people should have all participated in the siege of Li Yi, but it was unknown why they were all counter-killed by Li Yi.

Lin Yue didn't dare to stay, quickly searching forward along the traces on the ground.

Soon.

Her eyes shrank abruptly.

A somewhat familiar body came into view.

It was the investigator of the Investigation Bureau, Wang Jian.

"Investigator Wang Jian is dead?" Lin Yue's heart jumped. She recognized this person.

Too ruthless.

The Yang family was too ruthless, wanting to kill not only Li Yi but also Li Yi's superior, Wang Jian, wanting to kill them all here and leave no evidence.

Walking further ahead.

Lin Yue doubted if her eyes were mistaken.

That was a body with a shattered head and multiple heavy injuries.

This body was very different from the others.

Because Lin Yue recognized the identity of this body.

This was a cultivator named Daozi, a subordinate of the wanderer Wei Bin. This Daozi's strength wasn't weak, and he was relatively famous in the Waste City District area. But this wasn't the most important; the most important thing was that this Daozi was an Inspiration Realm cultivator.

"An Inspiration Realm cultivator was also finished off? Was it done by Li Yi? Or did the Yang family do it?"

At this moment, Lin Yue didn't dare to believe that Daozi would die at Li Yi's hands. She even guessed if the Yang family, to ensure the news didn't leak, simply disguised it as Li Yi and finished off all these people after the matter was done. After all, Yang Yi Long learning Li Yi's fist technique meant that all the cultivators in the Yang family would know fist techniques.

But what if it was truly Li Yi who did it?

A Spirit Medium Realm finishing off so many wanderers, and also an Inspiration Realm cultivator—was this a repeat of the last Old City District murder case?

"Li Yi, are you nearby? I am Lin Yue, I've come to find you."

But Lin Yue didn't dare to continue looking; she was afraid of finding Li Yi's shattered body somewhere. At this moment, she shouted anxiously, hoping to get a response.

Her voice echoed in this area.

Still no one responded, only a piece of silence.

Lin Yue continued to shout.

At this time, a blood-stained figure slowly walked out from a ruin.

Li Yi was currently supporting his body, barely showing his face. His Extraordinary Water effect had passed, and the injuries on his body exploded, making him almost faint, and he couldn't even leave here to find a place to hide. If it weren't for hearing Lin Jie's shout, he couldn't have shown his face at all, and would only have found a place to fall asleep and then leave it to fate.

"Lin, Lin Jie, I'm here." His voice was very small and weak.

"Li Yi."

Seeing Li Yi appear, Lin Yue was shocked, then rushed over with joy, hugged Li Yi who couldn't support himself, and then carefully placed him on flat ground.

"Don't move. You are very severely injured now. Moving around will aggravate your injuries. I'll check you now to ensure you have no life-threatening danger."

Lin Yue was very concerned about Li Yi's safety and also knew a little first aid, starting to check Li Yi's injuries.

"I shouldn't die. I drank a bottle of Extraordinary Water while fighting them. Although the effect has passed, the injuries on my body have also healed a lot... *cough, cough*." Li Yi coughed weakly, but his state was indeed much better, with no fresh blood gushing out.

"Extraordinary Water? The Investigation Bureau's special supply? I know that stuff; it's a very precious life-saving medicine. I didn't expect that you, having joined the Investigation Bureau not long ago, could actually get such medicine."

Although Lin Yue said this, her hands didn't stop. In the process of checking the injuries, she found that Li Yi had multiple fractures all over his body.

Some places were even comminuted fractures.

The injuries were very heavy.

It was just unknown if the internal organs were ruptured and bleeding. If the internal organs were severely injured, it was very likely he would die here from the injuries.

Fortunately.

After a rough check, Lin Yue could judge that Li Yi's internal organ situation was still okay, without massive bleeding. This should be the effect of the Extraordinary Water, which repaired the internal organ injuries in the first place. Now the effect was exhausted, so the fractures couldn't be repaired.

"Fortunately, there's no danger. You are temporarily fine, but I have to send you to the hospital for a comprehensive test before I can be sure about the specific situation."

Lin Yue said and picked Li Yi up, preparing to drive him to the hospital for treatment.

"Lin Jie, wait, wait." Li Yi stopped her.

"Are you worried about your other teammates? Don't think too much; they are all dead, without any vital signs. Taking you back for treatment now is the most important thing." Lin Yue shook her head in disappointment.

Li Yi fell silent, a kind of grief in his heart.

It seemed that not only Wang Jian was dead, but Chen Hao also couldn't hold on and died.

Afterward, Li Yi thought of something and gritted his teeth: "There is one more person who might not be dead. His name is Yang Ye, and he has a relationship with Yang Yi Long. This operation was organized by him."

After saying this, he reached out and pointed.

Not far away.

A person covered in blood was lying there without movement.

"Yang Ye? I know him. This person is Yang Yi Long's uncle. He is a ruthless character in the Yang family, specifically handling some unspeakable things. He isn't dead yet? Good, I'll take you over, and by the way, help you finish off this guy. Can't let him leave alive." Lin Yue nodded, preparing to help Li Yi clean up the aftermath.

She immediately helped Li Yi walk to Yang Ye's side.

Although Yang Ye was covered in blood and unconscious, he indeed still had life breath.

"Wait, this Yang Ye is an Inspiration Realm cultivator. Could it be that he was also defeated by you?"

Lin Yue saw the half fist mark on Yang Ye's head and suddenly reacted, asking hurriedly, shock appearing in her eyes.

Counting the previous one, that is to say, Li Yi finished off two Inspirations alone?

This is a joke.

Li Yi nodded and said: "Does Lin Jie remember the matter of me teaching Yang Yi Long fake fist techniques?"

"This matter is known only to the two of us, of course I remember," Lin Yue said.

Li Yi stared at Yang Ye, his gaze indifferent: "Yang Yi Long also taught the fist technique to Yang Ye. After Yang Ye learned the fist technique, he also left the hidden danger of fake fist techniques. In the process of fighting me, he tried to give me a fatal blow with the guidance technique combined with the fist technique, but the hidden injury exploded, an accident occurred, and he was seized by me and defeated."

"Good."

Lin Yue felt happy in her heart after hearing this, only wanting to clap her hands and cheer at this moment: "This is retribution. Those who mix in the world will always have to pay it back. At that time, our situation wasn't as good as the other party's, and we suffered a loss, so we could only swallow that breath. Now this Yang Ye is unforgiving and even wants to kill us to silence us. He deserves this end."

"Li Yi, don't move, I'll personally finish off this Yang Ye. In the future, if Yang Yi Long wants to retaliate, you don't have to be afraid; Lin Jie will take it for you."

She acted very decisively, and without waiting for Li Yi to answer, she acted immediately.

Her slender, fair fingers just pointed, and pierced through Yang Ye's heart.

Yang Ye's body trembled, and fresh blood sprayed out in large quantities. In just a short moment, he had become a cold corpse.

"I'm very sorry, Lin Jie, I dragged you into the water this time." Li Yi said very guiltily.

In reality, Lin Yue had no need to get involved in the matter between him and Yang Yi Long, but Lin Yue still chose to act and kill Yang Ye, staining her hands with the blood of the Yang family.

Yang Ye's life was like a pledge of allegiance, binding Lin Yue and Li Yi together.

"Haha, what are you apologizing for? I should be the one apologizing." Lin Yue laughed: "It was my poor judgment of character that introduced you to Yang Yi Long to do things, which led to these messy things. Now that you've been killed to your face by the Yang family, if I still don't do anything, wouldn't I have become a coward?"

"Do you remember when you came to my uncle's meditation room? I told you to call me Sister, and in the cultivation circle in the future, it's me, Lin Yue, covering you. Whoever bullies you is not giving me face; I will definitely stand up for you."

She spoke very straightforwardly, with the style of a big sister.

However, afterward, Lin Yue shook her head: "Now that you've defeated two Inspiration Realm cultivators in one breath, your strength must have also broken through to Inspiration. In the future, it might not be Lin Jie taking care of you, but you taking care of Lin Jie. I really don't know how you cultivate. How long has it been since you entered the door? Less than three months."

"Fortunately, it was me who brought you into the door, and I will help you keep the secret. If it were someone else, they would have mostly caught you and dissected you to see if you are truly an Earthling."

She was shocked by Li Yi's cultivation speed.

Li Yi just wanted to speak.

But just at this moment, Lin Yue's phone suddenly rang.

Lin Yue took a look and immediately frowned: "Bad, it's Yang Yi Long calling."
