Chapter 73

Southern city area.

Fish and dragons mixed!

The powerful people of the entire Poyang County live in the east of the city, which is the place with the best order in the county town, and the opposite of the east of the city is the southern area of the city, where fish and dragons are mixed, and it is the area of gang forces.

Under the leadership of Lin Xiuyong, the group entered the southern area, passed through several streets, and finally appeared at the entrance of an alley.

Several young men stood at the entrance of the alley, all of them big and thick. Lin Chen scanned them and knew that these people should have practiced martial arts in the Martial Hall. The leading one or two should have practiced essence and energy, and the rest just had some brute force.

"What are you doing?"

Even facing Lin Xiuyong, who was wearing a uniform, the man guarding the alley entrance didn't have much fear, and the other men's gazes lingered on Jiang Qing.

A lowest-level government runner, nothing at all.

"Meeting Third Master Zhou. This is Young Master Lin, a student of the Martial Hall, who has already opened six acupoints."

Lin Xiuyong naturally knew that he had no face in front of these people and directly reported Lin Chen's identity.

Hearing this, the man who asked changed his face instantly, showing respect, and the few people behind him also became nervous. Six acupoints—for them, that was a huge figure.

What's more, this person was so young, so he was even more not to be offended.

"Young Master Lin, please!"

The man hurriedly made an invitation and led the way in front, not daring to ask what the other party was looking for Third Master for, but he just gave his subordinates behind him a look, and had already let his subordinates run to the courtyard to notify Third Master.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Lin Xiuyong lowered his voice and said: "Young Master Lin, I think Third Master Zhou should give you face."

Before Lin Chen could answer, Village Chief Zhao Canghu behind him immediately took over: "Xiao Chen, let's not cause extra trouble. Just give some money. You should focus on your studies in the martial hall now. None of those who can stand in this eastern area of the city are simple."

Zhao Canghu was afraid that Lin Chen would be young and vigorous. This Third Master Zhou was not scary, but Third Master Zhou could stand in the south of the city and had not been arrested by the government office, so he naturally had connections and backing.

"Village Chief, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The leading man stood at the entrance of a residence courtyard, one zhang away from Lin Chen's group. When Lin Chen and Jiang Qing walked to the courtyard gate, a woman with disheveled hair and messy clothes ran out from the inner room.

"Stinky woman, if you dare to run today, your daughter will be sold to a brothel tomorrow."

The deep voice from the room made the woman stand in place. From Lin Chen's angle, he could just see the pain on the woman's face.

That was a face full of despair.

At the same time, Lin Chen also felt the body of Zhou Shen beside him trembling.

"Third Master, a distinguished guest is here."

The leading man's expression didn't change at all and shouted into the courtyard gate. When Lin Chen and the others stepped into the courtyard gate, a middle-aged man walked out of the room with his upper body naked.

The other party's eyes were fierce, quickly scanned Lin Chen's group, focused on Lin Chen and Jiang Qing, and then smiled: "So it's the junior brother and junior sister from the martial hall. Serve tea."

Tea was served. Third Master Zhou saw Jiang Qing's cold face, looked at the woman standing blankly in place, and smiled and explained: "This woman's daughter is missing. Knowing that I, Third Master Zhou, have wide connections, she wants me to help find her daughter. I don't mind, but the brothers below can't work for nothing. Either give money, or if there's no money... then I can only comfort those brothers of mine. Junior brother, don't you think that's the truth?"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes. This Third Master Zhou was very arrogant and rampant.

Helping to find someone? It was obvious that this woman's daughter was missing, and she was abducted by Third Master Zhou's subordinates. She came to Third Master Zhou for help, but Third Master Zhou had lustful thoughts and forced the other party to submit by threatening her with her daughter's whereabouts.

This kind of old oil-slicked person is not a stupid person. Just from the prior report of his subordinates, he should have guessed his intention—that he was here to ask him for someone.

Knowing his intention, he was still arrogant in front of him. Was this relying on his backing?

On the way here, Lin Chen had already learned from Lin Xiuyong that Third Master Zhou was a Nine-Acupuncture martial artist five years ago, but judging from the other party's complexion, it was obvious that he was already over forty, and his real combat power had clearly fallen to six or seven acupoints.

So, was it that Third Master Zhou had a big shot behind him, making him rely on his backing?

"Third Master Zhou has wide connections, and I have heard of it. This time I am here hoping to use Third Master Zhou's connections to see if you can help find the little girl who went missing in our village?"

Lin Chen didn't intend to draw circles with Third Master Zhou here and directly stated his intention.

"Finding someone, easy to say."

Third Master Zhou agreed very readily: "It's just that you have also seen that these brothers of mine are going to help this woman find her daughter in a while, I'm afraid they can't spare the time."

"We won't let Third Master's brothers work for nothing. We will give money."

Zhao Canghu spoke and took out a silver note from his arms, a ten-tael denomination: "This is the tea money for Third Master's brothers."

Lin Chen didn't expect the village chief to take out money, but he understood the look the village chief gave him.

Bear with it first, save Qianqian first.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and buried the murderous intent in his heart.

Third Master Zhou should be killed, but there is no rush.

With his current martial arts progress, he would be able to step into the Organ Cultivation Stage in less than two years. By then, he would kill Third Master Zhou, and the big shot behind Third Master Zhou wouldn't be an enemy of an Organ Cultivation martial artist because of a Third Master Zhou whose Qi and blood were declining.

Just as Lin Chen was about to speak, the next moment he felt a gust of wind blow past him, and Jiang Jiang Shijie, who was standing beside him, disappeared.

Bang!

When he saw Jiang Jiang Shijie again, Jiang Jiang Shijie was already standing in the position where Third Master Zhou was before. As for Third Master Zhou, he flew out directly, smashed through the doors and windows of the house, and fell to the ground.

In the courtyard, including the courtyard gate, many of Third Master Zhou's subordinates saw this scene and were about to rush over, but Jiang Qing just swept a look, making these people stand in place and unable to move.

"I'll give you the time of one incense stick. If you don't hand over the person in the time of one incense stick, you won't have to live. Not just you, including your family and children, all must die."

Jiang Qing's voice was cold, emitting endless chill. Lin Chen's pupils shrank. It was the first time he had seen this side of Jiang Jiang Shijie.

As for the village chief and others standing behind Lin Chen, their mouths were wide open, shocked by the scene in front of them to the point of being unable to speak.

"You... who are you?"

Third Master Zhou climbed up from the broken window frame, his face full of blood, but after he finished asking this, he was met with a cold light.

A dagger cut through the air, like a sharp sword piercing Third Master Zhou's abdomen.

Jiang Qing shot out the dagger and didn't pay attention to Third Master Zhou, but turned to look at Lin Chen: "Lin Lin Shidi Lin, Jiang Jiang Shijie will teach you a truth today: martial artists respect strength. If you kill this kind of person, no one will stand up for him. Even if you kill everyone in this courtyard, the martial hall will support you."

In the courtyard, those subordinates of Third Master Zhou heard Jiang Qing's words, and fear appeared on their faces. They didn't expect that this woman who looked so beautiful would say such cruel words.

What did she take them for?

Lin Chen pondered. He understood what Jiang Jiang Shijie meant.

Jiang Jiang Shijie first attacked Third Master Zhou, and then used these words to break the psychological defense of these subordinates of Third Master Zhou.

Third Master Zhou abducted children, and these subordinates of his must know where the children were hidden.

"Thank you for the teaching, Jiang Jiang Shijie. Lin Lin Shidi understands."

Lin Chen nodded in cooperation and looked at Third Master Zhou's subordinates.

"Don't... don't kill me, I know where Third Master hid the abducted children."

"I... I also know."

"Third Master Zhou hid those children in the residence opposite, that residence is also Third Master Zhou's."

"Village Chief, go find Qianqian first."

Lin Chen gave the village chief a look and took the village chief and his older brother and the others out of the courtyard. Jiang Jiang Shijie was here, and these people couldn't make any waves.

Opposite residence.

The gate was kicked down by Lin Chen. Several strong men drinking at the stone table in the courtyard were stunned, but before they could react, Lin Chen had already made a move.

Flying Swallow Technique plus Small Success Breeze Palm, after just a few breaths, several people fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

The reason for being so ruthless was because Lin Chen saw several children stripped of their clothes standing on the courtyard wall on the left, with blue and purple marks on their bodies.

"Brother, Gu Fei, find people."

Just as Lin Chen finished speaking, Zhou Shen was the first to rush into the inner room, and soon a cry came.

That was the joyful cry of finding something lost.

"Xiao Chen, this... will this bring you trouble?"

Zhao Canghu looked at the abused children, and his face was also extremely ugly, but he thought more, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Village Chief, don't worry. Killing this trash won't affect me. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Lin."

Lin Xiuyong gave a wry smile on the side. He didn't know how to deal with such a scene, but since Young Master Lin looked over, he had to bite the bullet and say: "Old Village Chief, don't worry. Young Master Lin is a student of the Martial Hall, even our government office cannot directly arrest Young Master Lin, and Third Master Zhou's group has done many evils and deserves their crime. Young Master Lin is also eliminating harm for the people."

"That's good."

Zhao Canghu was relieved, walked to the few strong men who fell to the ground, looked at the long knife on the table, and the next moment actually picked up the long knife and stabbed the few strong men on the ground one after another.

Lin Chen was confused by the village chief's operation.

"Official Lin, you saw it. Xiao Chen only injured these people. In the end, I couldn't hold back my anger and used a knife to stab them to death."

Zhao Canghu was still worried. He was old anyway. If this matter really blew up, he would just come out to take the blame. In his heart, anyone could have an accident, but Lin Chen couldn't.

"Village Chief."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly. Although the village chief's behavior was a bit self-deceiving, he still felt a warmth in his heart. He could feel the village chief's care for him.

"Xiao Chen, you go see your senior sister first, leave this to me and your brother and the others."

"Okay."

When Lin Chen rushed back to the courtyard where Third Master Zhou was, looking at the corpses all over the courtyard, and then looking at Jiang Jiang Shijie standing in the center of the courtyard without a speck of dust, he was also shocked.

Jiang Jiang Shijie did what she said, and really killed them all.
