Chapter 167: Arrivals

“Soul-transforming liquid”

The three words came out of An Xiong’s mouth in shock and anger, and the group of people behind An Xiong suddenly made a commotion. It was obvious that most people had heard of this poison.

Xing Yezui looked at An Xiong with complicated eyes, and then looked back at the large group of warriors behind him. Among these people, there were also seven or eight warriors in the Tempering Tendon Stage, but at most they had only reached the middle stage of Tempering Tendon. Most of the others were at the top of the Bone Refining Stage. It was just to gather such a group of people that An Xiong thought were strong that they came so late, which made him extremely angry.

If Xing Yezui knew, An Xiong could have gathered people to come earlier, but he just hoped that Zuo Feng could make the Commander’s Mansion more chaotic. I’m afraid that he can’t suppress his anger now, and rush up to slap this self-righteous “Yancheng Violent Bear” to death on the spot.

Uncle Tian’s anger at this time was no less than An Xiong’s. He also watched Anya grow up, so naturally his feelings for her were much deeper than others. After coming back to his senses from shock and anger, Uncle Tian shouted at Lin Lang: "Hand over the antidote."

An Xiong also seemed to react, turned his head and shouted angrily: "Lin Lang, you also know the result of the spiral tower trial. I will challenge you here today. If you don't hand over the antidote, I will never let you leave this place alive."

Lin Lang glanced at the large group of people around him with cold eyes, looked at the group of people coming from An Xiong's side, and then looked at Xing Yezui and the seven warriors behind him. But it seems that he also showed a little fear of Xing Yezui's side. After a slight hesitation, he turned his head to look at a golden armored warrior on the wall and nodded slightly.

The golden armored warrior took out a bamboo tube from his arms without hesitation, and quickly took out the fire starter to light the fuse on the bamboo tube. The top of the bamboo tube trembled slightly, and a green fireball shot up from it, flying straight to a height of more than ten feet before exploding, and the green flames scattered and splashed, which was very beautiful.

Looking up at the emerald green flame, Lin Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to An Xiong calmly and said, "If you want to challenge me, you must get the imperial decree. As long as the decree is not issued, I will still be the governor of Dongjun. And since you guys broke into the Commander's Mansion today, I have the right to punish you severely according to the laws of Dongjun."

An Xiong was not surprised by Lin Lang's words. When he learned that his daughter was poisoned by the "Soul-Transforming Liquid", he was ready to make a final decision with Lin Lang regardless of everything. He also saw the emerald green signal cannon just now, and knew that the other party had a backup plan. Although he was very excited, he did not dare to act rashly.

Soon, noisy footsteps were heard again outside, as if several waves of people were quickly gathering here. Xing Yezui's expression was still lazy, and he didn't care too much. An Xiong's face changed slightly. The people who just came here obviously came after seeing the green signal cannon, which means that they were all the people arranged by Lin Lang before.

Soon, two groups of people came to the gate. When An Xiong saw the two groups of people who just appeared at the gate, his face could not help but change slightly. He was very familiar with two of them. One was an ugly middle-aged man with a short stature like a dwarf, and the other was a tall, thin, sickly and cold middle-aged man.

After seeing the two of them, An Xiong could not help but say angrily: "'Licheng Gouhun' Meng Zhen, 'Black Hand' Lian Yun turned out to be you two."

One of the two was the city lord of Licheng, "Gouhun" Meng Zhen. The short boy who was killed by Teng Li during the trial was the direct disciple of the dwarf middle-aged man in front of him. The other was the master of the young man with a sallow face who was good at assassination and was killed by Zuo Feng in the trial.

When An Xiong and Xing Yezui saw the "dwarf" Meng Zhen, they were not surprised, because Meng Zhen was the city lord supported by Lin Lang. No matter how big or small the matter was in Dongjun, Meng Zhen would definitely obey Lin Lang. But the "black hand" Lian Yun does not belong to any force. He belongs to a special force in Dongjun.

His power is closely related to what he is good at, that is, assassination. As long as the price is reasonable, Lian Yun can attack anyone except the top leaders of the empire. The sickly young man with a sallow face that Zuo Feng once killed is said to be the only disciple of Lian Yun.

Some people also say that the sick young man is actually the child born by Lian Yun's brother's wife when he was young. In the end, he killed his brother and his family with his own hands, and even killed his brother's wife after giving birth to a baby boy. In the end, he only left the baby boy alive, and after raising him up, he was accepted as a disciple.

Of course, these are also legends. It must be that all the people involved in this matter were killed by Lian Yun. But he also gave a statement to the outside world that the brother secretly colluded with outsiders to plot his own martial arts. But after some investigation, those who are interested found that what Lian Yun said was completely fictitious. His brother could not learn his special assassination skills and martial arts because of his qualifications.

Unexpectedly, he, who was originally notorious, emerged in Dongjun in the following years. Not only did he establish his own huge power, but his status and power were no weaker than any city lord of a big city. As his power grew, no one dared to mention his past scandals. In the end, only some high-ranking figures in Dongjun knew something about it.

"Lian Yun, we are all high-ranking officials in Dongjun. Do you want to destroy the agreement with the empire? If you attack us high-ranking officials, I'm afraid your "Black Hand" organization will not be able to exist in the Ye Lin Empire anymore."

An Xiong seemed a little afraid of the two groups of people who suddenly arrived. After hesitating for a while, he still threatened Lian Yun.

"Hehe, I am not here today because someone bribed me. I am here to deal with some personal matters. My disciple was killed in the spiral tower trial. I am seeking justice for my disciple. This should not violate the regulations of the empire."

An Xiong's expression was a little ugly, and he said coldly: "The spiral tower trial is a matter of fate. More than half of the people die in each spiral tower trial. Do we, the city lords and commanders, have to use this as an excuse to retaliate against each other without restraint? You are clearly looking for an excuse to attack."

"Humph, I heard that the person who killed my beloved disciple is the person sent by your Yancheng to participate in the trial this time. Now it seems that you are really guilty. How about handing over all your people participating in the trial to me, and I will not get involved in this muddy water again."

An Xiong's expression was extremely ugly, and at the same time, he subconsciously looked back at his daughter who was still in a coma, and he was obviously moved by Lian Yun's proposal. The main person he had to deal with now was Lin Lang. If Lian Yun could retreat automatically, it would undoubtedly increase his chances of winning.

But just as he was hesitating, Uncle Tian said loudly: "City Lord, you must not be confused. This guy clearly wants to alienate the relationship between you and the people below. Don't be fooled by him. We must now stick together to deal with these people in front of us, so that we can help the young lady get the antidote back."

Uncle Tian was a bystander, and he immediately saw through Lian Yun's plan by combining what happened. If he came alone, it would be possible to avenge his apprentice as he said. But now he has brought nearly half of the people under "Lian Yun" here, which is clearly ready for a big battle.

Xing Yezui turned his head to look at Uncle Tian who was talking, and nodded secretly. The old man's cultivation talent was average, but his mind was no less than that of his Lord of Anxiong City. Since these people appeared, Xing Yezui still looked sleepy and comfortable.

Lin Lang also noticed this detail, which is why he did not issue an order to let these people act immediately after the reinforcements arrived.

"I guessed it, so good... I think you should come out too. It seems a bit unkind of you to continue watching the show with so many old friends here."

Xing Yezui's previous words seemed to be addressed to Lin Lang, because he found that Lin Lang had been carefully observing everything around him. But the following words, Xing Yezui seemed to be speaking to the void. This action seemed strange, but it immediately aroused the vigilance of everyone around.

"Haha, you 'stinky drunkard', I was ready to come out even if you didn't say it. When you said that, all the gorgeous appearance I prepared was messed up by you."

The voice was neither hurried nor slow, and the voice was slightly soft. Everyone immediately turned back to look at the place where the voice came from, which was inside the red door that had been open. It turned out that a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the inner house of the Commander's Mansion.

The moment this person appeared, everyone's eyes instantly looked over. Lin Lang, Meng Zhen and Lian Yun said at the same time: "Lu Yun."

The person who came was another leader of Yancheng, Lu Yun. This Lu Yun was tall and straight, with a slightly delicate face. His nose and mouth were small. If it was placed on a woman's face, it would be more suitable.

After these people were stunned for a moment, Lin Lang asked loudly: "You came here a long time ago. Did you find the girl?" These people were like wolves that smelled blood. They immediately looked at Lu Yun with unfriendly eyes. Even An Xiong, who was just happy, stared at Lu Yun with a serious face at this time, wanting to see how he would answer.

Lu Yun stepped across the red gate very casually, shrugged casually, spread his hands and said: "I didn't find the girl at all. I don't know if you believe me."

"Bullshit, the girl must be in your hands."

Before Lin Lang spoke again, the short dwarf Meng Zhen standing in the distance said angrily. It was obvious that they did not believe what Lu Yun had just said. All of them were gathered here. No one knew when Lu Yun had arrived, but it seemed that he had been here for some time. If someone said that Lu Yun had gained nothing, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
