Chapter 198: Could it be... Feng Yan? (Thanks to [Yao Yan Miao Sen])

The news of the Wang Family's annihilation swept through Kyoto like a storm.

In just half a day, more than two dozen Seventh Tier powerhouses had passed by the Wang Family residence.

Those Seventh Tier powerhouses, who were usually elusive and rarely seen by ordinary people, appeared as frequently as common cabbages.

The entire Jingcheng was plunged into a dark cloud.

When Gu Wu and Jian Lie learned the news that the Wang Family had been annihilated, both of them left in a hurry.

Only Lin Chao remained, sitting in the main hall alone.

At this moment, he was incomparably calm: "Could this Gu Wu be... a Dawn Bringer?"

Lin Chao's gaze flickered slightly; he recalled a message a Ghost had sent him when he was Slaying the Moyuan inside his body.

"Is it him?" Lin Chao's gaze was cool.

"Feng Yan." The person and the voice arrived together; the expression on Jian Fang's face remained neither sad nor happy.

"Jian Yi." Lin Chao's gaze softened slightly.

Lin Chao had come to Jingcheng, and besides annihilating the Wang Family, the most important thing was naturally to see Jian Yi.

"Jian Yi, I have likely obtained a spot to go to Jiuzhou," Lin Chao said slowly.

Jian Yi had always hoped he would obtain a spot to go to Jiuzhou.

"Oh?" A rare look of joy appeared on Jian Fang's face, and she sighed, "That is good."

"Once you go to Jiuzhou, do not come back," Jian Fang said. Thinking of something, she added, "Even if you do come back, before... it arrives, you must go to Jiuzhou."

"Mm." Lin Chao did not refute her.

"Feng Yan, do you hate me?

If you practiced the New Method, you might have become a Seventh Tier powerhouse.

However, by practicing the Ancient Method, I fear that in this life, you will... stop here."

"Jian Yi, the New Method and the Ancient Method are no different to me," Lin Chao said, not caring in the slightest.

"…Good."

"Jian Yi, be careful of Gu Wu; do not get too close to him. I always feel he is a bit strange," Lin Chao mentioned.

Jian Fang looked up at Lin Chao, thought of something, and finally nodded: "Good."

……

Jian Lie sat in his room, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"The one who killed the Wang Family was actually... a Ghost."

As a Clone, he had naturally gone to the Wang Family's scene.

All members of the Wang Family had died, with not a single survivor.

Except for the death of Wang Zhenguo, which was relatively special, the cause of death for the other Wang Family members was Ghost Qi.

This meant that the Wang Family had been annihilated by a Ghost.

The Seven Great Families eventually concluded that the Wang Family perished due to a Ghost, and among them, the Wild Radish King from the Ghost Domain had taken action.

If they had been annihilated by other Supernatural forces, Jian Lie would not have been so shaken.

It was just that...

Ghosts were different.

Ordinary Ghosts would never take the initiative to enter human gathering areas.

Without a sufficient reason, a Ghost would not annihilate the Wang Family.

But a contracted Ghost was different!

Jian Lie's first thought was the Feng Family.

However, he immediately ruled out the Feng Family; it was impossible for the Feng Family to contract the Wild Radish King.

The Feng Family also had no reason to take action against the Wang Family.

Most importantly, there was the news he had heard when he received that phone call that day.

It was very clear that the person who Slayed Wang Siquan was the Black Hand behind the scenes.

"Wang Sizai of the Dark Light Academy is also dead," Jian Lie muttered, looking at the newly investigated data.

Wang Sizai, Wang Siquan.

These two were a hundred thousand miles away from the Wang Family.

Rather than calling them a branch of the Wang Family, it was better to say they were clinging to the Wang Family.

No one had linked the deaths of these two people to the destruction of the Wang Family at all.

If he hadn't called Wang Siquan that day and heard that segment of conversation, he would not have associated the Wang Family's destruction with Wang Siquan and the others.

"Wang Siquan and Wang Sizai offended..."

That figure appeared in Jian Lie's mind.

That's right, it was Feng Yan!

At this moment, Jian Lie was panicked, and a terrifying thought arose in his heart.

"Impossible... Feng Yan, he..."

"Perhaps I missed something; Wang Siquan offended so many people!"

Jian Lie forced himself to calm down.

But once the seed of doubt was planted, how could it be so easily erased?

Jian Lie picked up his teacup and drank some warm Water.

At this time, Jian Fang entered the room.

"What are you thinking about?" Jian Fang noticed Jian Lie's abnormality and asked casually, then added, "Feng Yan is going back later; you take him to the high-speed rail station."

She could not bear to see people leave.

The last time she sent someone away, that person never returned.

Therefore, she was no longer willing to see anyone off.

"Hmm." Jian Lie nodded. He looked at Jian Fang and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Feng Yan?"

"Quite good." Jian Fang was a woman of few words. She looked at Jian Lie. "What do you want to ask?"

"Is Feng Yan... the child of Feng Shanyue?" Jian Lie stared into Jian Fang's eyes.

If Feng Yan were the child of Feng Shanyue, then Feng Yan might also be able to contract a Ghost.

In that case, the destruction of the Wang Family might also... be related to Feng Yan.

But how could Feng Yan possibly contract a Ghost of the level of the Wild Radish King?

In the Ghost Domain, any Ghost that calls itself a King has incomparably formidable strength, enough to suppress an entire province.

"If you think he is, then he is; if you think he isn't, then he isn't." Jian Fang gave an ambiguous answer. "Whether he is or not, does it matter?

Feng Shanyue... is already dead.

Feng Yan is just a child."

Jian Lie took a deep breath.

If his guess were true, how could Feng Yan be a child? That would be a killing demon!

Jian Lie recalled every encounter he had with Feng Yan.

Feng Yan was always too calm, too composed. He used to think it was because Feng Yan was introverted, but now it did not look like a teenager at all.

He also remembered that when he was in Ge'en City, a subordinate reported to him that there seemed to be some strange people around Feng Yan.

At the time, he did not pay much attention to it.

He also remembered that a major event happened in Ge'en City at that time.

The Ghosts in the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave disappeared, and the Lingyun Demon Cave was wiped out.

Could all of this... really be related to Feng Yan?

Jian Lie took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"Indeed, no matter what, in the eyes of us elders, Feng Yan is still a child." Jian Lie said slowly, but these words were spoken without confidence; even he himself did not believe them.

"Hmm." Jian Fang did not think too much about it.

She merely thought the abnormality on Jian Lie's face was because he suspected Feng Yan was the child of Feng Shanyue.

"I'm going to see Feng Yan off." Jian Lie took a deep breath.

The traffic was heavy.

Jian Lie was driving, glancing at Lin Chao from the corner of his eye.

In the passenger seat, Lin Chao held a magazine and began to read it slowly.

At this moment, Lin Chao put the magazine down.

"Uncle Jian, what's wrong?"

"No... nothing..."

"Oh."

"Feng Yan... do you know that the Wang Family was wiped out?" Jian Lie asked tentatively.

"Hmm."

"Do you think... the Wang Family deserved to be wiped out?" Jian Lie asked while driving. "Wang Guantian deliberately made things difficult for you in Xinghai City. As a result, just after offending you, their family was wiped out. This is retribution for doing too many bad things!"

"They got what they deserved." Lin Chao's gaze was profound. He looked at Jian Lie, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. "Even grinding their bones to dust would be letting them off easy."

"Oh... is that so? I think so too." Jian Lie felt an inexplicable chill. "I think you're right."

"Uncle Jian, I am going to Jiuzhou. Please look after Aunt Jian for me." Lin Chao picked up the magazine again.

Jian Lie's palms were sweaty: "Okay."

"Gu Wu... is not to be trusted." Lin Chao's gaze was deep.

"Ah?" Jian Lie was slightly stunned. "Okay."

The conversation between the two gradually became strange.

Although it was mid-summer, Jian Lie felt exceptionally cold at this moment.

He felt the original half-hour drive was also exceptionally long.

"Uncle Jian, I'm leaving." Lin Chao had a smile on his face as he waved to Jian Lie.

Jian Lie squeezed out a smile: "Okay."
