At the Lin residence, Qian Decai, who had been waiting for five days, was getting impatient.
He now even suspects that Lin Kaitai is lying to him.
He had no doubt about Li Fan's existence.
But he was now unsure whether Li Fan was in the city or not.
The Lin family is a local power; they shouldn't be unable to find someone in five days.
As for why he was lied to, he had some guesses in his mind.
All of this is probably related to the chaos in the city.
As long as he is in the Lin family, no one will dare to touch the Lin family.
"Patriarch Lin, have we not found him yet?"
“Master Qian, I have men at all four city gates. I’ve checked the entry and exit lists these past few days, and Li Fan isn’t on them.”
"I'm certain he's still in the city."
"If I can't find him within five days, I'll leave!"
"Don't worry, Master Qian, I'll search the entire Guangnan County, and I'll find him!"
After Lin Kaitai finished speaking, he left.
No matter what means are used.
He was determined to find Li Fan.
Otherwise, how could he use someone else to do his dirty work?
......
"Lord Yan, the warriors in the city are causing trouble. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
At the county magistrate's office, Wei Wenyuan summoned Yan Mingshu.
"Lord Wei, I'd like to take charge, but they have to listen to me first!"
Yan Mingshu said with a wry smile, "I said I wanted to set up a martial arts alliance to mediate conflicts between various parties, but no one paid any attention to me!"
"Lord Yan, the people in the city are in a state of panic. If we don't take action soon, everything will fall into chaos!"
Seeing Yan Mingshu's attitude, Wei Wenyuan became somewhat anxious.
Once things get chaotic, he'll be the first one to suffer.
And most importantly, once war breaks out, the amount of silver given to him as tribute will decrease.
"Lord Wei, I am willing but unable!"
"However, I have a plan, but I don't know if you would like to hear it!"
"Please speak, Lord Yan."
Yan Mingshu leaned forward and whispered, "Why don't you just mobilize the city's constables and take down all the leaders of the various factions?"
"When the time comes, just have them cooperate in quelling the unrest in prison. Anyone who doesn't cooperate, just chop off a few heads!"
puff!
Wei Wenyuan spat out a mouthful of tea, and his gaze toward Yan Mingshu became extremely strange.
Are these disciples from the Jixia Academy?
It must be fake!
Let's set aside whether Li Feiyu has the ability.
Even if he did, he wouldn't dare give such an order!
If he does that, he'll be the first one to suffer.
Outlaws of the martial world are truly capable of killing.
He can't expect Li Feiyu to protect him forever!
"Lord Yan, I'm begging you, please think of a way!"
Wei Wenyuan wore a bitter expression; he was truly at his wit's end.
"Lord Wei, I'll give it a try first, but I can't guarantee it will work."
"However, as you know, these forces have suffered considerable losses by now."
"It's unrealistic to expect them to stop without any proof!"
"Rest assured, Lord Yan, the county government will bear all losses!"
"Then I'll give it a try!"
......
Outside the Guangnan County government office of Zhenwu Division, Hu Fei looked anxious.
From the day before yesterday to today, more than a dozen branches of Tieshan Martial Arts School throughout the county have been attacked.
His grandfather, his father, and the powerful martial arts master at the martial arts school were all injured.
If this continues, it won't be more than ten days.
Tieshan Martial Arts School was gone.
He also contacted the police station.
But since those above were unwilling to intervene, there was nothing he could do.
Seeking out Yan Mingshu was a last resort.
"Hu Fei of the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School requests an audience with Lord Yan!"
When Hu Fei saw Yan Mingshu's carriage returning to the mansion, he immediately went forward.
"Young Master Hu, is there something you need?"
Yan Mingshu lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Hu Fei.
Hu Fei knelt down with a thud.
"Please, Lord Yan, save the Tieshan Martial Arts School!"
I'll give it a try, though!
"Master Xie Yan!"
......
Outside the Tieshan Martial Arts School stood a group of strong and capable martial arts instructors.
These martial arts instructors come from more than ten martial arts schools, with Tiger Roar Martial Arts School being the most prominent.
These days, relying on their numerical advantage, they have driven Tieshan Martial Arts School to the brink of collapse.
Today marks the start of the final assault.
"Thank you for your support, brothers."
"Today is the day we wipe out the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School."
"It was also the day the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance was established."
Zhang Hu said menacingly, "All martial artists from the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School who refuse to kneel will be killed."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Outside the Tieshan Martial Arts School, shouts of battle shook the heavens.
"Master, let's go out and fight them!"
"These sons of bitches are going too far!"
The martial arts school gates were locked, and the group of martial arts instructors from Tieshan Martial Arts School were filled with righteous indignation.
"Wait a little longer!"
Hu Tieshan sat in a chair, blood continuously flowing from the ruptured wound on his chest.
"Hu Fei has already gone to ask for help."
Looking at the group of wounded people inside, he could only endure and wait.
If we rush out now, there will only be one outcome.
"kill!"
After an unknown amount of time, shouts of battle came from outside.
Bang!
Zhang Hu kicked open the door and took the lead into the martial arts hall.
"Hu Tieshan, today is your death day!"
"Kill them! Fight them to the death!"
Hu Tieshan raised his long sword and began to charge forward.
"stop!"
Just then, a figure rushed in from outside.
Liu Junnan lightly touched the ground with his toes and appeared inside the martial arts hall, passing through the crowd.
"Lord Yan has ordered everyone to lay down their weapons."
"Who do you think you are? You'd better die first!"
Zhang Jiarong drew his knife and began to slash.
Clang!
The longsword was shattered the moment it struck the innate qi.
Zhang Jiarong's burly body was instantly blasted away.
"Seventh-grade Innate Realm!"
Exclamations arose from the crowd.
"Stop it, all of you!"
Seeing this, Zhang Hu quickly said, "Sir, my son Zhang Jiarong is ignorant and please forgive him!"
"Zhang Hu, your son is dead!"
Liu Nanjun said coldly, "He attacked an official of the imperial court; even if he had eight heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop them off!"
Upon hearing Liu Nanjun's words, Zhang Hu's face turned pale instantly.
"Father, save me!"
Zhang Jiarong steadied himself and immediately hid behind Zhang Hu.
He looked terrified and was trembling all over.
Upon seeing this, the martial arts instructors from other martial arts schools all stepped back.
"Lord Yan has arrived!"
Hu Fei's voice rang out, and the startled martial artists quickly moved aside.
Yan Mingshu's carriage stopped right in front of the Tieshan Martial Arts School.
"Master Zhang, Master Hu, are you willing to shake hands and make peace?"
"I do!"
Hu Tieshan spoke first.
Zhang Hu looked at the crowd with resentment.
But all the martial arts masters avoided eye contact, and none of them dared to utter a single word of dissent.
After all, with so many people witnessing Zhang Jiarong attacking an official of the imperial court, if things go wrong, the Tiger Roar Escort Agency could be completely wiped out.
After struggling for a moment, Zhang Hu said dejectedly, "I...am willing!"
"In that case, let's leave!"
"From now on, I don't want to hear any more news about martial arts instructors being ambushed and killed!"
"Yes, sir!"
......
"Lord Yan's kindness and virtue are beyond repayment to the entire Tieshan Martial Arts School."
"If needed in the future, I will do anything, even risk my life!"
"You're too kind, Master Hu!"
Yan Mingshu helped Hu Tieshan up and said, "Take good care of your injuries!"
The turmoil was thus averted.
Yan Mingshu's reputation slowly began to spread throughout the martial arts world.
......
"Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work!"
"I would gladly die to serve you, sir!"
"Your Innate Pill is already on its way!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhang Hu was overjoyed.
With the Innate Pill, he will be able to break through to the seventh-grade Innate Realm.
......
The resolution of the martial arts school dispute was just the beginning.
However, he did not mediate with other forces at this time.
The most important thing now is to persuade his chosen leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Since Li Fan didn't leave, he still has a chance.
And this time, he had even more chips.
Whether it was the money Wei Wenyuan promised or the complete subjugation of the martial arts school's influence.
