Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice
Page 818
Even Xiong Yueshan and the Nine Yin Elder, despite their immense strength, dared not attack Huang Zhongxin. This was because Huang Zhongxin controlled the city, and approximately 50% of its assets were transferred from his subordinates to others.
After Huang Zhongxin arrived at the scene, a member of the guard team hidden in the crowd came up to him and whispered in his ear for several minutes. It seemed that he was telling Huang Zhongxin about what had happened between Lin Yaoxie, Xiong Yueshan and Jiuyin Laoren.
The grudges and the whole story were recounted. After hearing this news, Huang Zhongxin waved his hand, and the man walked back. Some of the onlookers who had been talking to this guy were now looking at him.
They were slightly surprised to find that it was someone from the City Lord's Mansion, but not entirely unexpected, because they had long heard of Huang Zhongxin, who liked to plant his spies among the people.
Chapter 258 A Place
It is precisely because we can obtain some useful information through this method.
"I never imagined that there would be such a powerful young genius in this world. It's beyond my imagination. His combat strength is so strong, it's quite surprising."
After casually uttering those words, Huang Zhongxin wasted no more time and turned to leave. After he left, "217," the surrounding crowd gathered around, only to discover that Huang Zhongxin had taken away the bodies of Xiong Yueshan and the Nine Yin Elder.
However, at this moment, Lin Yaoxie was already walking on the official road. He had left the city he had been in before. It has to be said that Lin Yaoxie never expected that the city would be so chaotic. There was no structure, planning, or order.
Although the City Lord's Mansion existed, Lin Yaoxie felt that it was merely a decoration. The most crucial point was the power they had previously displayed, including the Nine Yin Elder. Although Lin Yaoxie believed that the Nine Yin Elder was not as strong as Xiong Yueshan, he was still considered a master of his generation.
Of course, compared to the freak in the terrifying forest at the beginning, there's still a huge gap, but Lin Yaoxie has at least seen the unusual side of this world—human cultivators...
The combat power they displayed far exceeded Lin Yaoxie's imagination, and Lin Yaoxie wanted to dominate this world.
If he manages to gain a foothold, his current level of strength is probably far from enough. He will need to use other methods to establish himself, whether in the human world or in dangerous areas like the primordial wilderness and the terrifying forest.
In reality, you have to rely on your own methods, because only after you have acquired some power can you know what kind of combat capabilities you still have in this world.
"Congratulations, Master, on completing the task. The task reward is now being issued. Please claim it promptly."
After Lin Yaoxie killed Xiong Yueshan, the system's mission was actually completed. However, due to the large number of people, Lin Yaoxie did not accept the mission in front of the crowd. He understood very well what it meant to be guilty of possessing a treasure, because of some things he had done before...
Therefore, he chose to hide everything he had, and most importantly, there must be spies and undercover agents from the city lord's mansion among those people, because no matter where you are, you must rely on your own people to obtain first-hand information.
If Lin Yaoxie were at that level, he would have done the same, but Lin Yaoxie left too quickly and didn't see Huang Zhongxin arrive.
Otherwise, Lin Yaoxie would definitely consider the other party a confidant, after all, their personalities are very similar. However, what Lin Yaoxie did at the time was not so simple, and in addition, everything in this world 5.5 is constantly changing.
Things are constantly changing now because these things have exceeded Lin Yaoxie's imagination. At the beginning, Lin Yaoxie was always serious and did everything he could to complete. But now, after discovering that there are still many things in this world that far exceed his expectations, he has changed his mind.
Chapter 259 Unexpected
Lin Yaoxie has realized that he can no longer be the same as he was at the beginning. He must learn to use some new methods to change his current situation, and most importantly, he must also change his way of dealing with others.
"Hello."
However, just as they were heading back along the official road to the next human city, a voice suddenly appeared on the road. After hearing the voice, Lin Yaoxie did not look in the direction from which the voice came, but looked in the opposite direction.
Because the aura he had just sensed had reappeared, and the area around him was the same location he had sensed earlier. The sound seemed like a lure, trying to entice him there, perhaps a trap. And looking at Lin Yaoxie's cleverness...
After seeing through it immediately, Huang Zhongxin smiled slightly and then walked out from behind. When Lin Yaoxie saw Huang Zhongxin coming in front of him, his brows furrowed, because he had a very strong impression that he did not recognize Huang Zhongxin.
He would have recognized it much earlier, instead of waiting until now.
“I know who you are. Your strength is very powerful. It is quite surprising that you were able to kill Xiong Yueshan and the Nine Yin Elder. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Huang Zhongxin. I was the city lord of the Demon City where you used to be.”
Seeing that Huang Zhongxin showed no hostility whatsoever, Lin Yaoxie didn't know what the other party wanted from him. However, the current situation was still quite unpleasant for Lin Yaoxie, since he had killed two people as soon as he arrived in the human city.
Now that the master of this city has actually appeared to find him, what else will happen? Actually, Lin Yaoxie doesn't know much about it yet, but when he sees Huang Zhongxin smiling at him, Lin Yaoxie knows this guy.
They probably weren't here to cause me trouble, but to prevent them from doing so, Lin Yaoxie was quite straightforward and direct in saying it outright. Of course, it was more of an inquiry than words.
"What do you want? I remember you and I have absolutely no connection. If you're here because I killed Xiong Yueshan and the Nine Yin Elder, then you can leave now. I'm not interested in that. If you want revenge, you can attack me anytime, anywhere. Of course, you should also be prepared to be killed."
Although Lin Yaoxie didn't know Huang Zhongxin, Huang Zhongxin was now coming to him because of Xiong Yueshan and the Nine Yin Elder. So, apart from causing trouble, there was probably no other reason. Therefore, Lin Yaoxie saw through this very clearly and decisively, and stopped wasting time.
Instead, they assumed a fighting stance, and Huang Zhongxin, seeing that Lin Yaoxie had misunderstood him, immediately shook his head and said.
"Actually, I didn't come here to cause you trouble. Besides, the fact that you were able to kill Xiong Yueshan proves that your strength is above mine. I'm not stupid; I would never come to deal with you."
Looking at Huang Zhongxin now, after he so graciously uttered such a statement and the truth.
Chapter 260 Vaguely
Lin Yaoxie's impression of Huang Zhongxin improved somewhat, but Lin Yaoxie remained standing in the same spot, his expression still full of distrust.
Lin Yaoxie would have this expression whenever a stranger appeared here. Although Lin Yaoxie was very powerful, if the other party had any schemes or tricks, then Lin Yaoxie would probably be quite tired of dealing with them.
He always ignored those so-called conspiracies, tricks, and traps, because in Lin Yaoxie's view, no matter where you are or what position you hold, you must have enough strength to face all crises.
Without immense strength, in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, what will become of you in the end? You probably don't even need to guess; you can already guess the final outcome. And looking at Lin Yaoxie, he still had the same cold and aloof demeanor as before, completely ignoring him.
Huang Zhongxin hadn't expected Lin Yaoxie to refuse so decisively, but he knew that Lin Yaoxie might have really misunderstood him, so he quickly continued to explain.
"Actually, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to cause you any trouble. I just want to get to know a young genius like you. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably only in your early twenties."
Bar〃〃?"
Upon hearing Huang Zhongxin say that he had no other malicious intent and wouldn't even attack him, Lin Yaoxie didn't believe him at all. He treated Huang Zhongxin's words as nonsense, because in Lin Yaoxie's view, no matter the position or the place.
Strength is fundamental. No matter how young a person is, if you possess great strength, you can stand at the pinnacle of this world. As for Huang Zhongxin's statement that he had no ulterior motives, it was actually unfortunate for Lin Yaoxie, because he always felt that...
Huang Zhongxin must have come looking for me with some purpose in mind, otherwise he would never have said these words. Lin Yaoxie has a very thorough understanding of these human relationships and social customs; he is not a newcomer to the martial arts world.
Moreover, as a time traveler, Lin Yaoxie's wisdom can be described as extensive reading, and he remained unmoved.
"Actually, I would like to invite you to become an elder of our City Lord's Mansion."
After watching Huang Zhongxin reveal some of the real information, Lin Yaoxie found the guy rather interesting. Huang Zhongxin genuinely wanted to invite Lin Yaoxie to become an elder of their city lord's mansion, despite Lin Yaoxie's current strength and combat abilities.
The fact that Xiong Yueshan was killed earlier was largely due to luck, because Xiong Yueshan underestimated Lin Yaoxie when he faced him. He hadn't yet developed his Shadow Clone Technique to its fullest potential and hadn't even used it when he was killed by Lin Yaoxie.
Of course, this was directly related to his own carelessness, but in Huang Zhongxin's view, Lin Yaoxie had some advantages that were even greater than those of Xiong Yueshan.
"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell you this, but Xiong Yueshan, whom you killed before, was someone I always considered as an opponent I wanted to win over, because he was extremely powerful."
Chapter 261 has only one
"In addition, he is very quick and agile, which can help me make changes and even help me do some things."
"But after you appeared, you killed it, which only proves that your strength is above his. Whether it was luck or strength, it proves that you are above him, and there is no doubt about that."
Seeing that even the leader of the Tangtang City Lord's Mansion was flattering him, Lin Yaoxie smiled slightly. When Huang Zhongxin saw Lin Yaoxie's smile, he knew that Lin Yaoxie must have been tempted by what he had just said.
He then pressed his advantage and continued to persuade Lin Yaoxie, because in his view, if Lin Yaoxie could join their city lord's mansion, it would be a huge help to him in his future uprising, given the strength that Xiong Yueshan had previously demonstrated.
Human cultivators were already considered quite powerful in their country, but they still had no chance against Lin Yaoxie.
This is enough to prove just how exaggerated Lin Yaoxie's combat power is, which is why Huang Zhongxin is now directly trying to win Lin Yaoxie over.
Seeing that Huang Zhongxin wanted to draw him into the power struggle, Lin Yaoxie smiled slightly. In fact, what he hated most was this (aeff) thing, because in his view, everyone living in this world has their own place, but...
If you insist on asking someone to do something, regardless of whether they are willing or not, the real challenge lies in figuring out how to get them to agree.
“I appreciate your kindness, but power struggles and infighting are things I’m not good at. So there’s no need for you to waste your time on me anymore. You’d be better off focusing your time on someone else.”
Lin Yaoxie is a straightforward and blunt person. Although Huang Zhongxin felt a little uncomfortable after hearing Lin Yaoxie's answer, this is the attitude Lin Yaoxie has shown so far, because he doesn't like to associate with people like Huang Zhongxin.
Because, in Lin Yaoxie's view, everything that people like them who wield power do is somewhat problematic, and the most crucial factor is the change in strength, which makes Lin Yaoxie's mindset somewhat different.
In addition, at the beginning, Lin Yaoxie had been in contact with those monsters and had been moving around in the forbidden areas of humans. Now that he has returned to the world where humans live, Lin Yaoxie has found that the people he knows are somewhat different from the people of ancient times.
However, they don't seem to be really rigid, and their strength lies in their flexibility and adaptability.
However, when Huang Zhongxin looked at Lin Yaoxie, who seemed unlikely to agree to his request, he sighed helplessly and then gave a bitter smile.
"If that's the case, then so be it."
Lin Yaoxie nodded slightly as he looked at Huang Zhongxin's current state, then left. In Lin Yaoxie's view, contact with someone like Huang Zhongxin was terrifying, and avoiding contact with him was much better than the current situation.
Chapter 262 The Assassin Appears
Just as Lin Yaoxie was about to leave, a dart suddenly shot out from the jungle on both sides of the distance, heading towards Lin Yaoxie and Huang Zhongxin's location. When he sensed where the dart was coming from, Lin Yaoxie frowned, because he realized that the dart was aimed at him and Huang Zhongxin.
Feeling this sudden turn of events, Lin Yaoxie was extremely displeased, because he felt that Huang Zhongxin had done this on purpose, just to make him stay here. When Lin Yaoxie looked at Huang Zhongxin, he saw that Huang Zhongxin's gaze was now fixed on the bushes on both sides, and he hadn't noticed him at all.
"I never expected that even after so many people went there, my royal brother still wouldn't let me go. It's utterly ridiculous. I'm no longer a member of the royal family, yet you still come to assassinate me. What's the point?"
Just after Huang Zhongxin said these words, more than a dozen assassins dressed in black jumped out from the bushes on both sides. While they were looking at Huang Zhongxin, they heard him speak, but none of them responded to him, as if they were afraid that speaking to Huang Zhongxin would make him realize something.
"Do you think I won't know who you are just because you don't speak? Imperial Guards."
Huang Zhongxin couldn't help but smile as he watched these guys not answer his questions. Even though the previous people didn't answer him, he could still sense what kind of cultivation techniques these guys were practicing. It was a technique that had been passed down in their court for a long time, a technique called the Dragon Follower Technique.
After hearing Huang Zhongxin say these words, the assassin leader knew that their identities had been exposed, but they had no choice. After all, this was their mission. Even though Huang Zhongxin was their leader of the Imperial Guards back then, so many years had passed, and Huang Zhongxin was no longer a member of the royal family. The Imperial Guards, on the other hand, always obeyed the orders of the court.
"Lord Huang Zhongxin, please don't make things difficult for us."
Seeing that these guys' identities had been exposed, they didn't leave. They remained standing in front of Huang Zhongxin. The expression on Lin Yaoxie's face was completely different from the expression he had when facing the imperial guards. At this moment, Lin Yaoxie stood still and didn't move a step.
0?ooo Please give me flowers....
However, he could sense that Huang Zhongxin's face had become angry. Of course, unlike anger, there was another kind of expression, which seemed to have a faint murderous aura about it.
0 ....
"Since you know that I was the one who attempted the assassination, you still dared to send so many people here. I must say, you are quite confident, or rather, my imperial brother is quite confident, isn't he?"
When the lead assassin saw the change in Huang Zhongxin's aura, his eyes widened and he charged directly at Huang Zhongxin. Lin Yaoxie, who was standing only two or three meters in front of Huang Zhongxin, was also targeted by the assassins.
In their eyes, since Huang Zhongxin had already recognized their identities, everyone who witnessed the scene was a target to be eliminated.
Chapter 263 A Great Battle
"Do you really think that our wise and mighty emperor has been unaware of the things you've been doing in secret? What a joke! If our emperor didn't know, then your previous conspiracy would have succeeded, and now it's time to reap your life!"
Just then, a middle-aged man who looked extremely dignified and imposing spoke loudly. This middle-aged man was the captain of the "220" assassin squad, and his strength was undoubtedly extremely powerful.
Everyone knew that Huang Zhongxin was extremely powerful, and if this captain hadn't been sent out, it was very likely that they wouldn't have been able to kill him.
The words had barely left his mouth when the captain brandished his large cleaver and slashed fiercely at Huang Zhongxin. His manner was extremely imposing. A faint black light flickered across the cleaver, likely some kind of mysterious energy, or perhaps even a potent poison. It was safe to say this battle was extremely dangerous.
"Hmph, since you're so confident, then today I'll show you what my true strength is like. I've been deliberately hiding my strength to avoid attracting your attention, but now it's time to unleash it and let you see for yourselves!"
Huang Zhongxin, on the other hand, felt no fear at all. He also took out a giant black iron hammer from his storage ring and charged forward to meet the attack.
Lin Yaoxie, on the other hand, wasn't too worried. Judging from the aura emanating from the royal guards, he could clearly sense that their strength was weaker than his own.
Even though there were several of them at this moment, he was still confident. Moreover, it was true that they outnumbered him, but they weren't simply launching a direct attack. With Huang Zhongxin on the other side to share the firepower, what was there to worry about?
He quickly took out a three-pointed double-edged sword from his storage ring and decided to strike first.
With a quick push of his feet, he charged towards a slightly thinner man opposite him...
The three-pointed, double-edged sword was radiating a sharp light, an effect achieved only after Lin Yaoxie had unleashed at least 70% of his power.
In itself, Lin Yaoxie's strength, after being enhanced by the system, was already very domineering in terms of both power and speed.
So, in less than a breath, they had already charged towards that thin royal guard.
