Tianbi Divine Kingdom, Changhe County
Changhe County is as its name suggests, with rivers all over the county. It is a famous water town in the Divine Kingdom. Lin Jiang sneaked to Changhe County and soon found the place mentioned by Prince Jiangdu.
The entire city has become a ruin, and there are still white bones at this time. The area within a radius of dozens of miles has become a ghost den. Lin Jiang looked carefully and found that it was indeed the harm caused by the battle between the cultivators.
"It seems that after Lin Batian brought the great man from the four major families into the Divine Kingdom, a battle of magic occurred. I just don't know if it led the formation spirit to take action."
Lin Jiang thought in his heart. He admired Lin Batian's methods very much. He killed so many gods of the same level and was able to cross the border. This strength is rare in the world.
There are many martial arts masters hiding near the ruins of the city. It is estimated that they also know that the cultivators will come to check, so they want to wait and see. Lin Jiang did not dare to stay for long and left quickly.
Hundreds of miles away is the most prosperous county town in Changhe County. Lin Jiang appeared outside the city. He also saw his wanted poster. Killing Prince Jiangdu was a big deal. It was estimated that the entire Kingdom of God would have his wanted poster.
Lin Jiang did not disguise himself. He did it on purpose, wanting Lin Batian to see him. He just didn't know if he could see it.
The next morning, Lin Jiang hid under a vegetable delivery carriage and sneaked into Changhe County. After searching for a day, he found an uninhabited courtyard and sneaked in.
"The county town is not small. How can I find someone? It's a bit of a headache. Lin Batian, what are you doing so fast?"
Lin Jiang thought about it and felt that he had no idea where to start looking for Lin Batian. The more Lin Jiang understood the Kingdom of God, the more he dared not underestimate it.
How many Nascent Souls and Gods of Transformation had died here? It didn't make sense that he, a golden elixir, could overturn the entire Kingdom of God. The reason why he was rampant in Jiangdu County was because the Kingdom of God didn't pay much attention to him. The most important thing was that the formation spirit didn't notice him. But if he continued to make a big fuss, that might not be the case.
Therefore, Lin Jiang did not dare to release his divine sense again. God knows how many of these immortal cultivators have surrendered to the Kingdom of God. If there is another Zhu Qianguang, Lin Jiang may not be able to defend against him.
In the following half a month, Lin Jiang wandered around the streets and alleys of the county city, the restaurants and shops, and continued to investigate, but still found nothing, which made Lin Jiang a little discouraged.
······
Outside Changhe County, Lin Jiang mixed into the crowd and left the county city. This was a group of people from the Kingdom of God who formed a temporary team. There were small vendors who went out to do business, rich children who traveled everywhere, and ordinary people who went to distant places to find relatives. They had all kinds of identities, and the reason they formed a team was for safety.
Changhe County was rich, but that was overall. There were still many poor people, so many bandits were born. The official Kingdom of God did not care much about these bandits, because it would not affect their rule. They only ordered the local government to encircle and suppress them, but it was easy to think about what the local government could do. Maybe they were just nurturing the bandits to protect themselves.
This led to the fact that the public security in Changhe County was not very good. Traveling in groups was the first choice for ordinary people, otherwise they had to rely on big businesses to travel.
The leader of the team was a rich boy dressed as a ranger. He practiced third-rate martial arts and was obsessed with stories about traveling in the rivers and lakes. He escaped from home and prepared to travel in the rivers and lakes and become a hero respected by everyone.
He had a sword on his waist and boasted to several beautiful women in the team along the way, saying that if he encountered bandits, he would kill them one by one with a sword and eliminate harm for the people.
"Swoosh..."
The team marched to noon on the third day, and a cold arrow appeared and pierced the ranger's throat directly. He covered his throat, his eyes as big as copper bells, and stared at the crowd coming out from all around.
"Robbery, squat down"
"Stand up and die"
Hundreds of people appeared around, holding swords, and some people made a deafening roar at the crowd.
The crowd exploded all of a sudden. Some people took up weapons to resist, and some people fled around. Lin Jiang squatted down at the first time.
"These bandits are really uneducated. They don't even say, 'This mountain is mine, this tree is planted by me. If you want to pass this road, you have to leave money to buy your way through.'"
Lin Jiang looked at the bandits with contempt. It's not your fault to be a bandit, but it's your fault to be uneducated.
The bandits were quite strong. Those who resisted were beaten to death, and those who escaped were caught. In the end, they all squatted down obediently like Lin Jiang.
"Boss, we have intercepted them all. No one ran away."
"Haha, good, take them all home."
The leading man laughed at the rest of the people. Soon, a group of minions appeared, searched them one by one, searched their property, and then tied their hands with ropes, one rope tied a string of people.
Lin Jiang didn't have many treasures on him, but he didn't like being touched and searched by a man, so when a minion wanted to search him, Lin Jiang urged his spiritual sense, and the man's eyes were dazed for a while, and he took the initiative to bypass Lin Jiang, and no one cared.
The crowd was taken away from the main road and walked more than ten miles along the small road to a hidden small dock. Some boats were waiting there. The hostages were thrown onto the boat and blindfolded.
After almost two hours, the blindfolds were removed and they came to a small island. There were still many bandits on the island. Seeing that the boss brought back so many hostages, they all cheered. The hostages were taken to
the island and soon someone took over. People similar to dog-headed military advisors came one by one to ask about the hostages' identities and family backgrounds. They would ask for ransom from their families based on their identities.
Lin Jiang had secretly thrown the sword onto their boat. When they were questioned, Lin Jiang made up a lot of nonsense, which was considered to be temporarily concealed. They also had to verify these identities.
At night, the bandits were partying. They had done a big job today, so they had reason to be happy. The hostages were miserable. They enjoyed the treatment of water dungeons. They were all sad and many of them were crying secretly.
It was not until the middle of the night that Lin Jiang escaped from the water prison and quietly came to the mountain village on the island. The boss during the day was sleeping like a dead pig at this time. There were two pretty ladies on his left and right, probably just exhausted.
There was also a mess of wine and meat on the table. Lin Jiang was not interested in the leftovers, but he tasted a few sips of the unopened good wine.
"Bah, any garbage pot water tastes better than this."
Lin Jiang took a sip and spit it out. He drank high-end spiritual wine in the Five Elements Sect, or he would steal his master's wine to drink. This kind of garbage was really unpalatable.
The movement alarmed the bandit boss. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Lin Jiang. He pushed the woman beside him away and reached out to take the precious sword on the bedside.
"If I were you, I wouldn't take the knife, because the hand holding the knife will soon be broken."
Lin Jiang thought he said something very cool, but the boss just paused, still picked up the knife, and then slashed at Lin Jiang with a fierce knife. "You are
being disrespectful."
Lin Jiang was speechless. He stretched out his hand to disperse the knife energy and looked at the boss.
"Gang Qi, martial arts master."
The bandit boss saw Lin Jiang's method, took a breath, and his face turned pale.
"Do you still want your hand?"
"Senior, spare my life."
The bandit boss was straightforward. He threw the knife directly and knelt on the ground with a plop. He was the only innate martial artist in the bandit den. He couldn't beat him. It's not shameful to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Have some sense. I'll spare you."
"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior.
" "Get up and talk ."
"Yes, yes."
"Women, get out."
Lin Jiang waved his hand. Two women with disheveled clothes disturbed his mind. How could he ask questions?
"Get out quickly, get out quickly."
The bandit boss drove people out without saying a word. It was quite ruthless, worthy of being a sage.
“Senior, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask. I will never hide anything.”
“Let me ask you, more than a year ago, there was a city called Ancheng more than 200 miles northwest of here. Do you know what happened?”
“Senior, are you investigating the demon case?”
“Should I ask you or you ask me?”
“I deserve to die, but this matter is extremely serious, and I don’t know much.”
“Just tell me what you know.”
“Yes, yes, I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, but I heard from people that more than a year ago, two people suddenly appeared in the sky above Ancheng. They were glowing. After a flash of light, almost all the people in Ancheng died. The houses collapsed, the mountains fell down, and then the sky began to be covered with dark clouds. There were many thunder and lightning, and everyone around was scared.”
“That’s it?”
“Senior, I wasn’t at the scene. I heard about it. At that time, all the masters of Changhe County rushed there, even the Prince of Changhe went there. Later, the court sent many people, and I was so scared that I didn’t dare to go out to do business for more than a year. Today is the first order.”
"If it's worthless, I'll kill you."
Lin Jiang showed a grim smile. It was obvious that this guy was not an honest man.
"Senior, I really don't know. I'm just a small follower of the 36 bandits in Changhe County. Otherwise, I'll take you to other villages. They are stronger and must know more."
"You guy..."
Lin Jiang smiled. If he was another bandit, he would definitely kill him if he knew what this guy said.
