The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 133 The Iron Qin Yan Clan

In the courtyard of the dilapidated temple, the Chief Inspector of the Coastal City Police Department held Lin Ye's hand tightly.

"Thank you so much!"

"As the leading security agency in Coastal City, the Red Whale Gate has consistently made significant contributions to the city's security."

"Thank you so much!"

Lin Ye looked at the somewhat obsequious middle-aged man in front of him and silently withdrew his hand.

"It was just a coincidence. If it weren't for Zhang Xuan, I wouldn't have found this place."

The chief inspector immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! You're right! You're right!"

His forehead was slightly sweaty, even though the police superintendent had the authority to request the intervention of a force at the level of a secret warrior.

But local officials have more power than county magistrates, and the most powerful violent organization in Coastal City is ultimately the Red Whale Gate.

As he spoke, he waved slightly, and a person dressed as a reporter stepped forward.

Chief Inspector Chao Linye leaned slightly forward, making a handshake gesture.

Lin Ye did not shake hands, but instead slightly raised his hand, "There's no need for photos. If you need publicity, contact Zhang Xuan."

""

As he spoke, he walked up to the reporter and said, "Give me the bottom sheet."

The reporter seemed a little flustered, but at the chief inspector's instruction, he took out the film reel and handed it to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye gently squeezed it, and the roll of film crumbled into powder.

The reporter's eyes widened, and his hand trembled as he loaded the film reel, causing it to fall to the ground.

Lin Ye picked up the film roll and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you."

After saying that, he walked towards the side room. Zhang Xuan and Li Wei were standing at the door, and the police officers were cleaning up the scene.

Sensing someone behind him, Zhang Xuan turned around and sighed when he saw Lin Ye.

"Brother, the autopsy report shows that they were killed three days ago."

"7

"We arrived not slowly, but late."

Zhang Xuan's voice was somewhat forlorn, even though he had witnessed life and death many times before.

But he has actually seen very few bloody scenes like this.

Li Wei, standing to the side, appeared much calmer.

Zhang Xuan was, after all, just a newcomer, and this was his first time dealing with a cult, so it was normal for him to feel a little uncomfortable.

Hearing Zhang Xuan's explanation, Lin Ye didn't say anything, but just nodded.

"Contact me if you need anything. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and pushed his motorcycle away.

After he left, the chief inspector greeted Zhang Xuan and Li Wei with a smile, saying he wanted to take a picture, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Ye as he left, his expression somewhat indifferent.

These martial artists... are getting more and more arrogant. They no longer care about showing their strength in front of ordinary people.

In the past, he would have reported and handled the matter according to the confidentiality agreement, but now...

His gaze fell on Zhang Xuan and Li Wei, somewhat disappointed.

Their strength is too weak, and... even the Black and White Society members have colluded with the Secret Warriors?

"Chief Inspector, move a little closer to the center."

The reporter's voice brought him back to his senses, and he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Haha, Engineer Zhang, Engineer Li, please help me, please help me!"

"Snap!"

The flash of the camera disappeared in a flash, and in a corner of the hall that no one noticed, a red nematode crawled into a crack in the ground and vanished.

Twilight Rain Auction House, second floor.

Lin Ye sat on the sofa, and Jiang Muyu came out of the bathroom, her travel-worn appearance somewhat lessened.

She sat down opposite Lin Ye. "It's confirmed. The one who took Yan Yi away is the Tieqin Yan family, the second largest secret martial arts family in Tieqin City."

Lin Ye nodded slightly upon hearing this. "How strong?"

Jiang Muyu shook her head, "It's not that strong, it's just average."

"But the Yan family became the second largest secret martial arts family in Tieqin not only because of their strength."

"Furthermore, because the Yan family is skilled in medicine, many martial arts practitioners have owed them favors."

"This is not limited to Tieqin City, but also includes some other cities, and even some provinces."

"7

"and..

""

She paused at this point, seemingly unwilling to bring it up.

Lin Ye slightly raised his eyes, looking at Jiang Muyu with a questioning tone, "And what?"

Jiang Muyu sighed, "And most importantly, the Yan family patriarch and the Li family patriarch are close friends."

"And the name of the Li family patriarch was Li Tieqin."

"The entire city of Tieqin is named after him."

Lin Ye understood immediately; that meant that being an enemy of the Yan family was the same as being an enemy of the Li family.

To be an enemy of the Li family is to be an enemy of the entire Tieqin City.

"Who was the person who took Xiaoyi away that day?" he asked.

"He is Yan Jingchu, the head of the Yan family, and also... the younger brother of Yan Yi's grandfather."

Jiang Muyu began to explain.

Lin Ye was somewhat shocked upon hearing this, but before he could ask anything else, Jiang Muyu continued to speak.

"That bronze mask was worn by Yan Yi's grandfather, Yan Jingyuan, when he played the Iron Qin."

"Back then, he was invincible among the younger generation of Tieqin, just like the current senior sister of the Red Whale Sect in Coastal City."

"Moreover, Yan Jingyuan is extremely bloodthirsty, not much less so than that senior sister. The number of martial arts practitioners who have died at his hands is no less than a handful."

.

"Later, he disappeared without a trace, and it was eventually determined that he had died along with his wife."

"But their child went missing, and that child was Yan Yi's father, Yan Xiangzhen."

Lin Ye processed the information for a few seconds and looked at Jiang Muyu.

"How did the Yan family discover Yan Xiangzhen's identity? Was it because of Yan Xiangzhen's wife? I heard that his wife has some connection with Tieqin."

Jiang Muyu shook her head. "I don't know."

"This time, when the Black and White Society was eradicating a Nuo Snake God Cult stronghold, they had the police superintendent take some photos for a report."

"One of the photos captured this faceplate. A member of the Yan family, who holds a high position in the police department, saw the photo by chance and only confirmed it after it was sent back to the family."

"That's why what happened that day occurred."

Lin Ye felt a slight sense of relief.

Jiang Muyu looked at him and said, "The fact that the head of the Yan family personally came to pick up Yan Yi shows how much he values ​​her."

"It's even possible that this was at the behest of the Yan family patriarch. Back then, the Yan family patriarch favored his eldest son, Yan Jingyuan, the most, so perhaps it was out of affection for him that he extended his affection to his son."

Lin Ye nodded. "It's good that you're alright."

"Moreover, I heard... Yan Xiangzhen is dead."

Jiang Muyu suddenly spoke up. She knew about the relationship between Lin Ye and Yan Yi, so she also paid a little more attention to Yan Xiangzhen.

Lin Ye slightly raised his eyes, looking at Jiang Muyu with a calm gaze.

After a few seconds, he looked away and slowly nodded. "It's good that he's dead. He can enjoy himself in hell now."

Jiang Muyu was taken aback. Go to hell to enjoy bliss? What kind of bliss?

Besides, he's practically your future father-in-law now, shouldn't you show some sadness?

"I'm leaving now, Sister Jiang. You can come to me if you encounter any trouble."

After saying that, Lin Ye got up and left.

A few days later, at the Red Whale Gate Main Building.

Lin Ye walked into the courtyard where his master was in the backyard, went directly into the main hall, and bowed slightly to Nangong Lie, the leader of the Crimson Whale Sect.

"Master."

He had changed into a red robe, with a red background and a red whale pattern embroidered in gold thread on the back.

Nangong Lie sipped his fragrant tea and smiled. "Lin'er is here. Go to the back and meet your senior brothers."

Lin Ye straightened up, his eyes bright.

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, he walked directly from the side to the back, and after passing through a curtain, a landscape courtyard appeared before his eyes.

It looked very bright in the morning sunlight.

At this moment, one person was standing on the cobblestone path in the courtyard, and another person was sitting on a stone, stepping barefoot into the pool and stirring the water.

Lin Ye looked at the person on the rock, and Zi Guang was surprised.

"Brother Fei? What are you doing here?"

Lin Fei looked at Lin Ye, withdrew her legs, sat cross-legged on the rock, and smiled.

"Young man, you'll have to call me Third Senior Brother from now on."
