Chapter 520: Destined Fate

"I am naturally a human... a person who cultivates Martial Arts."

Lin Chao's voice became thick and deep, somewhat different from the usual him.

A look of terror appeared in Ji Zhou's eyes.

Martial Arts?

A martial artist?

Which martial artist is nearly three meters tall?

A bullshitting martial artist!

Just then, before he could think much more, Lin Chao's massive fist had already struck.

Seeing this, the fat and thin elders beside Ji Zhou hurriedly summoned their Dao Soldiers.

A strange aura arrived, and a dazzling light flashed upon the bodies of the fat and thin elders.

The red radiance of the two formed a shield covered in peculiar patterns.

Only under the protection of the shield did Ji Zhou feel a shred of security.

Of the two elders guarding him, one wielded an Earth Grade Dao Soldier, and the other wielded a Mysterious Grade high-tier Dao Soldier.

The strength of the two could already be considered powerful in Tai Ling Prefecture.

However, Lin Chao's attack followed no logic whatsoever.

"Too weak!"

If a Spirit Severing expert were wielding a Heaven Grade Dao Soldier, he might have had some misgivings right now.

An Earth Grade Dao Soldier was truly not something he held in his eyes.

Under Lin Chao's destructive punch, that sturdy defense shattered in an instant, turning into bits of starlight.

The fat and thin elders wore expressions of horror, but unfortunately, their expressions froze at that moment.

The massive fist, stirring up a powerful gale, landed directly on the fat elder's body; the fat elder's body bent into the shape of a bow, and before the acid in his stomach could even churn, it burst, and his entire person slumped to the ground, already reduced to a sandbag.

Lin Chao's fist did not stop, sweeping horizontally.

The thin elder took a punch, and his frame simply cracked and shattered, dead as could be.

Beside them, Ji Zhou and Wu Zunquan were stunned at the sight.

Especially Wu Zunquan; if he had known Lin Chao was this kind of monster, he would never have dared to sell Lin Chao's spot to someone else, let alone speak rudely to Lin Chao.

He was immensely regretful and terrified.

Unfortunately, Lin Chao did not give Wu Zunquan any chance to regret; with a light pat of his hand, as if swatting a fly, Wu Zunquan was already dead.

Lin Chao looked at the only survivor on the scene, Ji Zhou: "Alright, it's quiet now, we can talk properly."

Ji Zhou looked at Lin Chao and swallowed his saliva: "What kind of devil are you!"

"I am not a martial art, I just cultivated some Martial Arts for self-defense," Lin Chao replied.

Martial Arts?

Bullshit Martial Arts.

And for self-defense!

Lin Chao looked at Ji Zhou, his figure slowly shrinking at this moment, and his clothes were already in tatters; he said slowly: "Now you can tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"

Ji Zhou's breathing became rapid; he felt a strong threat.

A few minutes later, Lin Chao looked at the few corpses on the ground, his eyes clear and cold.

Ji Zhou's mouth was not very tight, and Lin Chao was also Proficient in some methods of interrogation; Ji Zhou did not hold out for long before telling everything truthfully.

This time, the Flower Demon Sect came to Tai Ling Prefecture for that Town-Sect Divine Artifact.

And according to the information the Flower Demon Sect obtained, that Town-Sect Divine Artifact might be in the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, or it might be in the Qian Mansion.

Currently, the people of the Flower Demon Sect have already secretly surrounded the Qian Mansion, and will not let the Town-Sect Divine Artifact leave.

"The Flower Demon Sect only sent one Sacrificial Shepherd, yet they were able to surround the Qian family; there must be something fishy about this."

Tai Ling Prefecture is a large prefecture.

Or rather, it is similar to a provincial capital.

Such a large prefecture must have powerful armed forces.

A Sacrificial Shepherd from the Flower Demon Sect would at most cause some trouble for Tai Ling Prefecture.

The forces of Tai Ling Prefecture would have no problem dealing with the Flower Demon Sect, let alone one Sacrificial Shepherd.

The Flower Demon Sect surrounded the Qian Mansion so brazenly; there must be something fishy about this.

Or rather, in Tai Ling Prefecture, someone is acting as an umbrella for the Flower Demon Sect.

"Ji Zhou's master is that Sacrificial Shepherd, a mid-stage Spirit Severing Literary Arts expert? Wielding a Heaven Tier low-tier Dao Soldier."

Lin Chao felt it was tricky.

Even if his Martial Arts broke through to the Second Grade, it would be very difficult to be an opponent for a mid-stage Spirit Severing expert.

When he was at Tailin Academy, he had seen a mid-stage Spirit Severing teacher use a Dao Soldier to attack; that kind of power was moving.

Even if he were ten times stronger now, he would not be their opponent.

"Regarding the security of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion... Ji Zhou does not know; he only knows that they need to keep an eye on the Qian Mansion."

"So, there is a high probability that the divine artifact is in the Qian Mansion, and the Qian Mansion... is also a discarded pawn."

Thinking of this, Lin Chao felt somewhat unbalanced in his heart.

Old Master Qian Xiantai had just shown him great kindness, and the Qian Mansion had encountered such a thing.

Moreover, with the Flower Demon Sect's methods, seizing the Town-Sect Divine Artifact would certainly cause slaughter.

More importantly, there are even figures of the high-level officials of Tai Ling Prefecture involved; I don't know which side's power it is.

Prefecture Governor's Mansion. The Prefect was in a Green Robe, sipping wine.

The Grand Commander walked in and stood to the side.

The Prefect Wang Qiwen spoke indifferently: "Has the Flower Demon Sect's Town-Sect Divine Artifact been found?"

The Grand Commander showed a respectful expression: "The Flower Demon Sect was right; it should be in the Qian Mansion."

"Is that so? Then everything is easy to handle." Wang Qiwen was not surprised.

Beside him, the Grand Commander thought of something and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Wang Qiwen said softly: "Are you curious why I do not stop the Flower Demon Sect, but instead let them act recklessly in the city, and even surround the Qian Mansion?"

The Grand Commander did indeed think so, and he said slowly: "Nowadays, the people in the city are panicking, and many have quite a few complaints about you, Prefect."

"Compared to being scolded a couple of times, I cherish my life more," Prefect Wang Qiwen said. "This matter involves the County Prince Changping; it is not something we can interfere with."

Hearing this, the Grand Commander's pupils constricted slightly.

County Prince Changping was low-key and always leisurely, never showing his true colors among the many County Princes.

However, everyone knew that County Prince Changping was the true master of this province.

After all, he was a County Prince of the Zhenyuan Kingdom's imperial court.

"The Heir of Changping is studying in Kyoto, and he is now at the Nascent Soul perfection stage of cultivation.

The Literary Arts he practices are somewhat special.

To break through, he needs to Slay his most powerful arch-enemy.

And the God Child of the Flower Demon Sect is the enemy identified by the Heir of Changping.

This time, the Flower Demon Sect wants to seize the Town-Sect Divine Artifact in order to help their God Child obtain the strongest Dao Soldier.

Then, their God Child will fight the Heir of Changping, establishing the Heir of Changping's invincible potential," Prefect Wang Qiwen said lazily.

Hearing this, the Grand Commander's eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

"To think... to think it is like this." However, he could only feel helpless.

Big shots truly do not treat those below them as people.

"Moreover, when Qian Xiantai was young, he offended County Prince Changping; that he has been able to live until now is a miracle," Prefect Wang Qiwen said slowly. "Therefore, we cannot interfere in this matter.

At most... when the Qian Mansion is wiped out, we will send some men to kill some of the Flower Demon Sect's bandit party; as for the Town-Sect Divine Artifact, let them take it away."

He said it lightly, deciding the fate of the Qian Mansion.

Or rather, the fate of the Qian Mansion was not decided by him, but by Kyoto, ten thousand miles away.
