"Getting rid of Jinxuan is a good suggestion."
Lin Bufan turned his head and looked back at the tavern. Baili Dongjun also came out and stood at the door.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then Lin Bufan asked loudly, "Is the fermented rice ready?"
"Not yet," Baili Dongjun said loudly. "These dozens of jars of wine were specially prepared for you, so they need to ferment for a while longer."
"Okay." Lin Bufan said, "I'm going to Tianqi City. I hope I can have some wine when I come back."
“No problem.” Baili Dongjun promised, “When you come back from Tianqi City, you’ll definitely be able to drink with us.”
"Then I'll be going. If Hanyi asks, just tell her the truth."
After giving his instructions, Lin Bufan and Xiao Chong's group left Snow Moon City overnight to visit Tianqi City.
The next morning, Li Hanyi and Sikong Qianluo came to the tavern looking for Lin Bufan, but they couldn't find him.
Baili Dongjun is still brewing wine, but he has slowed down the brewing process and added several steps to deliberately prolong the time.
Since Lin Bufan wouldn't be back for at least a few days, he wasn't in a hurry; slow and steady wins the race.
"Where is Lin Bufan?" Li Hanyi asked Baili Dongjun.
Sikong Qianluo also asked curiously, "Yes, Great City Lord, where is Brother Lin?"
"He went to Tianqi City."
Baili Dongjun answered casually, as if he were talking about something ordinary.
However, this was unusual for Li Hanyi and Sikong Qianluo, and they were very anxious.
"He just left without saying a word?"
"Yes, Brother Lin didn't tell us."
“Sigh.” Baili Dongjun shook his head. “Someone invited him to Tianqi City to participate in the melee. For the safety of Xueyue City and you, he has no choice but to go.”
"For Snow Moon City, for us?" Li Hanyi and Sikong Qianluo didn't understand.
Baili Dongjun asked, "You know that Jinxuan came here to target Xueyue City before, right?"
"I know, didn't you, the city lord, drive him away?" Sikong Qianluo scratched her head, still puzzled.
Baili Dongjun said, "Jinxuan has now pledged allegiance to the Crimson King. His opposition to Snow Moon City represents the Crimson King's attitude. Our Snow Moon City previously stood with the Prince of Langya. Hanyi, you know what the Emperor's attitude towards the Prince of Langya is. The past is like smoke, and old things cannot be repeated. Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to handle the struggle between the princes, it is also inconvenient for Changfeng to handle, and it is even more inconvenient for you, Hanyi, to handle. We can only leave it to Lin Bufan, an outsider."
"I don't care, I'm going to Tianqi City too." Li Hanyi was about to leave.
Baili Dongjun stopped her, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, and if you go and cause a scene, Lin Bufan's trip will have been in vain. You chose your own husband, don't you trust him?"
“I…” Li Hanyi thought back to the time when she had caused trouble in Tianqi City and even tried to kill the emperor.
Ultimately, she indirectly caused the death of the Prince of Langya.
Could it be that this time, she will indirectly cause Lin Bufan's death?
"I believe he can handle it. After all, he's a top-ranked expert, and he's still waiting for me to have some wine."
As Baili Dongjun spoke, he turned around and went to prepare the immortal wine.
Li Hanyi was finally persuaded and compromised, saying, "I won't go, but if Lin Bufan gets into trouble, I don't mind causing trouble in Tianqi City again, killing the prince and the emperor."
Sikong Qianluo asked Baili Dongjun, "If the Second City Lord can't go, can I go?"
Baili Dongjun straightened up inside, looked up and thought for a moment, "You are a junior, it's fine for you to go, but your martial arts are too low, who will send you there?"
“That’s easy. I’ll have Uncle Xie Xuan come with me. He’ll definitely agree. Even if Dad doesn’t agree, he’ll have to.”
Sikong Qianluo was overjoyed and skipped out of the tavern.
Dark River, Headquarters.
Su Changhe lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting.
Several days have passed since his battle with Lin Bufan, and his injuries have still not healed.
His cultivation level had long since fallen from pseudo-divine realm back to half-step divine realm, and his strength was no longer at its peak.
"Lin Bufan, you killed the people around me and caused me to be seriously injured. I will take revenge sooner or later. You just wait."
Just as he was cursing, his subordinates rushed in to report that people from Lei Family Fort had arrived and brought back dozens of corpses.
"Whose body did you bring back? One of ours?"
Su Changhe angrily got out of bed, not even bothering to put on his clothes and shoes, and strode out to check.
When the people of Leijiabao saw Su Changhe approaching from afar, they were so frightened that they quickly put down the body and ran away.
The corpses undoubtedly belonged to the people of the Dark River. During the siege of Lei Family Fortress, they were caught in the crossfire of Lin Bufan and Zhao Yuzhen and all died tragically.
However, low-ranking henchmen are not qualified to be sent back; those who are collected are all of some status and position.
This was a deliberate show of force by Lei Family Fortress to intimidate Anhe.
They said that if they dared to invade again, they would send them back to their country so that they could see how these people died.
"Second brother."
Upon seeing Su Changli's body, Su Changhe rushed over and embraced Su Changli, weeping bitterly.
"You died a terrible death. It must have been Lin Bufan who killed you. Don't worry, your brother will definitely avenge you."
"They will not have died in vain."
Suddenly, a sinister and ghostly figure came from afar, in the direction the henchmen of Lei Family Fort had just left.
Su Changhe thought that someone from Lei Family Fort had come again, and stood up with his eyes wide open, intending to kill the man.
But the other party turned out to be a woman, a particularly glamorous woman dressed in smoky attire.
Su Changhe recognized the man; he was not from Lei Family Fort, but rather the Ghost Doctor, Night Raven, from Medicine King Valley.
She is an extremely terrifying woman, who is said to have fallen into evil ways and been abandoned by Medicine King Valley.
“I am now one of the Crimson King’s men, Su Changhe. The Crimson King sent me to recruit you.”
"Red King?"
Su Changhe snorted coldly, "Go back and tell him that my Dark River has no one left to help him."
"Aren't these all people? And each and every one of them is a master or a powerful expert."
Night Raven pointed to the dozens of corpses that had just been delivered and said confidently, "Give me some time, and I will revive them, turn them into medicine people, and greatly increase their power."
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Su Changhe's eyes, and he asked excitedly, "They can still live? My brother can come back to life?"
Night Raven said, "At least he can still call you 'Big Brother'."
"That's enough, that's sufficient."
Su Changhe said excitedly, "I can stand with the Crimson King, as long as you can revive my brother."
"I can also help you kill Lin Bufan."
“He’s not easy to kill; he’s immortal. I should have killed him several times a few days ago.”
Su Changhe recalled the scene with great frustration.
"unless……"
He suddenly raised his head again, "The Imperial Preceptor, the Grand Tutor, and the First Sword Immortal are willing to help us set up a soul extraction formation."
Night Raven thought for a moment and said, "First, make the medicine man. I will report to His Highness the Crimson King about dealing with Lin Bufan, so that he can make further preparations."
