Guihai Yidao died, and the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi also died.

Zhu Wushi felt no regret at all. Satisfied, he carried Suxin on his back, stepped over Cao Zhengchun's corpse, and was about to walk out of the prison.

Another person came over.

A person whose martial arts skills far surpass his.

An Yunshan is An Shigeng's father.

People in the martial arts world call him Master An.

Old Master An's cultivation level far surpassed that of his son, An Shigeng. He was strong and robust, with bright and piercing eyes. When his white beard fluttered, it seemed to carry wisps of true energy.

A person in their seventies is exceptionally terrifying.

Zhu Wushi did not make any rash moves, but Old Master An was determined to cause him trouble.

“I just returned from out of town, and as soon as I arrived in the capital, I heard that you killed my son.”

“In that situation, An Shigeng wouldn’t have survived more than half a day. I did it to protect our great cause. Great things always require sacrifices.”

"Who is the mastermind?"

"Lin Bufan, he absorbed all of An Shigeng's internal energy, and he also absorbed all of my internal energy."

"Your skills are inferior, and your Absorption Technique is utterly weak. In terms of absorption power, my Star Absorption Magic is far superior to yours."

Old Master An turned and left, saying, "I'm going to the Six Doors to find Ji Yaohua first. If you're lying, I will never let you off the hook."

Zhu Wushi watched Old Master An walk away with a cold face, thinking to himself: In order to prevent Old Master An from taking revenge, I also need to make preparations in advance. I also need to absorb the internal energy of Shangguan Haitang and the internal energy of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.

"I raise an army for a thousand days to use it for one day. All my men are just pawns, tools for my use."

Once Lin Bufan is eliminated, his subordinates can be retrained.

At that time, there will be more than four secret agents, eight or sixteen secret agents.

Meanwhile, Lin Bufan, along with Xiaolongnu, Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhao Min, had been waiting at Zuiyue Tower for a whole day.

After the palace incident, he and the three women did not return to the Divine Marquis's Mansion.

Staying at the Divine Marquis's Mansion is no longer interesting; I'd rather come to the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

Of course, it wasn't for pleasure, but for Rama's remains.

A system query revealed that Rama's remains do indeed possess miraculous effects; they can restore one's virility and regenerate severed limbs.

Lin Bufan planned to buy half of it, thinking it might be useful later.

"Minmin, half of Rama's remains is worth ten thousand bottles of Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment. Guess how much it's worth?"

Lin Bufan joked with Zhao Min.

Zhao Min's eyes darted around as she calculated in her mind.

Before he could even calculate it, he said, "No, I can get the Black Jade Rejuvenating Ointment whenever I want. But there's only half of Rama's body left, and the other half is nowhere to be found. It should be considered priceless."

"They reacted quickly." Lin Bufan smiled. "So we're waiting here, hoping to buy Rama's remains."

While in the palace, Lin Bufan's mind-reading ability sensed a message from a nobleman: someone had found half of Rama's remains and would be auctioned off at Zuiyue Tower on that day.

Why was Zuiyue Tower chosen?

Because Zuiyuelou was the most luxurious pleasure quarter in the capital, those who could come in to spend money were all wealthy families, rich people, and big shots like my father Zhang Erhe, as well as big shots who could spend money like water.

If you want to get a good price for Rama's remains, Zuiyuelou is the first choice.

In the private room on the second floor, Lin Bufan and the three women waited patiently. Soon, they saw many high-ranking officials, wealthy people, or famous people entering Zuiyue Tower one after another.

They had already booked their seats in advance and found their places step by step.

There aren't many people in the martial arts world, and not many know Lin Bufan, so Lin Bufan doesn't need to wear a mask to conceal his identity.

However, soon, several people who knew Lin Bufan began to appear.

First was Shen Lian, the commander of the Northern Garrison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Along with his brothers Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, they entered Zuiyue Tower with more than a dozen Imperial Guards.

No matter how high an official's rank, they would still be intimidated by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the same was true for prominent families.

Because the Embroidered Uniform Guards were directly under the emperor's command, they could act first and report later, and they could also pull out a "Book of Impermanence" to write slanderous things.

"Sir, we are all law-abiding citizens, truly law-abiding citizens."

Upon seeing the Imperial Guards enter, all the people present at the auction stood up, extremely nervous.

The madam hurriedly came over, "Sir, we run a legitimate business of prostitution. They're just here to listen to music..."

"Please calm down, everyone. We're not here to interfere with your plans."

Shen Lian gestured for everyone to sit down, ignoring the madam. His gaze swept across the room, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Bufan on the second floor and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Lin?"

"Commander Shen?" Lin Bufan asked politely, "Is Qinglong still not giving up? Did he send you here to deal with me?"

"Young Master Lin has misunderstood. Lord Qinglong is too busy to deal with you. He has already led a team to search the An family compound. Ding Xiu revealed that a remnant of An Shigeng's faction is being held here. She is a very fat woman. We have come to search for her."

With that, he directed his men, "Go upstairs and search. You, go to the backyard and search inside and out."

His men scattered in all directions, searching for the large, fat woman in every corner of the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

Shen Lian and the other two walked up the stairs and came to Lin Bufan, saying respectfully, "Young Master Lin, we will leave immediately after we finish our search and will not disturb you for too long."

"You won't find it. An Shigeng has been dead for a day and a half, and his remaining followers have long since fled at the first sign of trouble."

"We have to give it a try, to do our duty."

Shen Lian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant. Lin Bufan was very interested in him and sneered, "Look at the state you three brothers have become. You are clearly very skilled in martial arts, but you can't even become a centurion. Qinglong is jealous of talent and appoints relatives and friends. He has never given you a second glance, has he? Do you want me to give you some advice?"

Lu Jianxing was moved. He was nearly forty years old and had wanted to become a centurion for many years. He quickly bowed, clasped his hands, and said sincerely, "Please enlighten me, Young Master Lin, on how I can become a centurion."

"Brother." Shen Lian pulled Lu Jianxing back and said warily, "Young Master Lin's moves are probably not suitable for us."

“Perfect, absolutely perfect.” Lin Bufan said, “My mind-reading ability sensed something: An Shigeng’s father, Old Master An, has returned to the capital. Your Lord Qinglong went to search the An residence, and I suspect he’s in grave danger. If something happens to Qinglong, and you also saved Commander Lu Bing…”

"Does Young Master Lin mean for us to curry favor with Military Governor Lu Bing?"

"etc……"

Jin Yichuan grasped the key point: "Lord Qinglong will die in the An residence?"

Lu Jianxing panicked: "Should we rush to Anfu to provide support?"

Shen Lian looked into Lin Bufan's eyes and said, "It seems that Young Master Lin wants the three of us to go back to the Zhenfu Division to protect Zhenfu Envoy Lu Bing."

"Let's go back quickly."

"All Imperial Guards, retreat!"

The three brothers immediately made a decision and turned to go downstairs.

Lin Bufan shouted with laughter from behind, "When the three of you become commanders of a thousand households one day, don't forget to treat us to a feast!"

Little Dragon Girl didn't understand: "When Grandpa An came back, why weren't you worried at all?"

"What's the use of being anxious? I know his trump card. Once he's absorbed enough internal energy, I'll just take it all and let him do all the work for me. Now, let's take a look at what Rama's remains look like."
