Plop!

At the side of the camp, the young man’s corpse fell into the Netherworld River. Soon, it followed the Netherworld River downstream and disappeared under the rock layer.

Lin Yan started walking and quickly climbed along the underground crack. Not long after, he saw the sun again and arrived in the small valley.

Then, he found a hidden gap in the forest and hid inside.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He recalled that when he first met the young man, the young man had muttered to himself that the Green Jade Dew was suppressing the Invasive Fire and they had not lied to him.

When Lin Yan heard Wu Qinglei’s explanation, he mentioned that Liu Lanqing’s Force Feature was called Invasive Fire. It was the top level of Jade Grade.

From the young man’s words, he seemed to be very surprised by the effect of the Green Jade Dew.

Then the question was, who gave him the Green Jade Dew?

He definitely didn’t obtain it previously. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so shocked now.

So, someone among Liu Lanqing, Wu Qinglei, Xiao Ye, and Qin Xiang gave it to him during the siege just now?

The young man said that he could not trust the Demon Suppression Division. Could it be because there was a mole in the Demon Suppression Division?

He even said that he had to pretend not to know anything…

To what extent?

Lin Yan originally planned to say that he had met the young man and escaped. At the same time, he would reveal the information about the Green Jade Dew.

But now that he thought about it carefully, since he was pretending, he was really pretending not to know anything!

He could not reveal anything about the Green Jade Dew or the information that he had just learned!

The young man’s words naturally could not be trusted completely, but for the sake of caution, it was undoubtedly the safest to minimize his presence and partic.i.p.ation.

After waiting for a while, four figures jumped out of the entrance of the valley. They were Liu Lanqing and the other three.

The four of them were in a sorry state. They were covered in dust, but they were not injured.

It was just that their expressions were not very good.

Lin Yan hid in the forest from afar and secretly observed them for a while. After confirming that there were no pursuers, he deliberately made some noise.

“Who’s there!

I

Lin Yan walked out of the wood with a calm expression. “Issuer Liu.”

“Lin Yan!”

The four of them were shocked.

Lin Yan deliberately observed them. Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye were young, and the traces on their faces were clearly mixed with a hint of surprise. Wu Qinglei and Liu Lanqing were clearly much more experienced. They were shocked and happy, and no one could tell what they were thinking.

“Lin Yan, why are you here? Didn’t you meet anyone?”

Wu Qinglei stepped forward and scrutinized Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was puzzled. “Who? Is there anyone else partic.i.p.ating in the operation?”

Liu Lanqing glanced at him. “How did you come out?”

Lin Yan said respectfully, “Issuer Liu, I retreated immediately after you started attacking.”

Liu Lanqing pursed her lips slightly and revealed a hint of surprise. “You retreated?”

“That’s right.” Lin Yan said matter-of-factly, “The underground is dark. It’s really suffocating. Moreover, as you mentioned, my strength is limited. In order to prevent any accidents from dragging you down, I came up first.”

Wu Qinglei heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re indeed lucky. Fortunately, you came up early. Otherwise, I’m afraid things would have been bad.”

Lin Yan’s expression tightened at the right time and he asked, “Deputy Issuer, is there a problem with the operation?”

Wu Qinglei shook his head and sighed. “That fake city lord ran away again!”

Lin Yan appropriately looked at Liu Lanqing in surprise.

Liu Lanqing looked a little tired. “There was a mistake in our actions, but that person’s strength erupted to the limit and he was already on the verge of death. Even if he ran, he would definitely die…”

She suddenly asked Lin Yan, “Are you sure you didn’t see anyone else other than us?”

Lin Yan shook his head in confusion. “No… However, I haven’t been keeping an eye on the cave entrance. Logically speaking, if there’s any movement, I should be able to sense it.”

Liu Lanqing nodded. “He didn’t come up, but he’s not underground either.

Could it be that he fell into the Netherworld River? And the charred tunnel underground… Could it be that someone is still hiding in the dark…”

Lin Yan showed some curiosity at the right time, but he remained calm and didn’t ask any questions.

“Forget it. At this point, it’s useless to think about it.”

She glanced at Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang and said in a low voice, “Although the two of you killed a few Type-II Giant Spirit Soldiers in this mission, you lost the mission target in the end. Your merits make up for your mistakes. Do you have any objections?”

Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye cupped their hands and said, “No objections.”

“Lin Yan! You’ve contributed greatly by providing information this time. You have another Great Merit!”

Lin Yan looked at Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang. They were expressionless and did not look at him.

His heart skipped a beat. “Issuer Liu, can I still exchange for the Spirit Marrow?”

Liu Lanqing pressed her forehead and took a deep look at Lin Yan. She reached into her pocket and threw out two second-grade Spirit Marrows. “Then it’s just right!”

“Thank you, Issuer Liu!”

Wu Qinglei wanted to say something but hesitated. Qin Xiang’s lips curled up into a disdainful smile, while Xiao Ye shook his head.

Lin Yan put away the Spirit Marrows and the group returned to the city again. They arrived at the temporary residence of the Demon Suppression Division and separated.

Lin Yan deliberately walked with Wu Qinglei.

“Deputy Issuer, how is that Giant Divine Soldier…?”

Wu Qinglei looked at Lin Yan. “Why are you suddenly curious about this thing?”

Lin Yan’s heart tightened, and a helpless look appeared on his face. “If I’m not wrong, that Giant Divine Soldier… is probably the Master of my Dragon Gate Pavilion!”

The Master of Dragon Gate Pavilion?

Wu Qinglei took a closer look at Lin Yan before saying, “That Giant Divine

Soldier… ran away in the end!”

“He ran away too?”

Lin Yan was speechless. So, the Giant Divine Soldier was not killed by this group of people, and the fake city lord had also run away?

Wu Qinglei looked rather aggrieved. Without Lin Yan asking further, he roughly explained the situation underground.

“So in the end, although the Giant Divine Soldier was seriously injured, it still jumped into the Netherworld River and left along the river?”

Wu Qinglei said helplessly, “This strange creation is not the style of the

Qianyuan Prefecture. I’m afraid… it came from another prefecture!”

Lin Yan was silent. Pavilion Master Pang was probably doomed…

Of course, he was more concerned about Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang’s movements.

Could it be that these two people handed the Green Jade Dew to the fake City Lord?

After keeping it in mind, Lin Yan separated from Wu Qinglei.

At that time, when the young man died, he mentioned that there was something left for Lin Yan at the South Mountain Mansion.

However, Lin Yan was not in a hurry to find it.

Although the young man was dead, his ident.i.ty was still suspicious. If the other party had already set a trap, it would be troublesome for Lin Yan to jump into it. It was better to delay for a few days and wait for an opportunity.

Of course, more importantly, he was being targeted!

After coming out of the Demon Suppression Division’s residence, he vaguely felt that someone was targeting him.

After leaving Ding’an City, the other party no longer hid anything. The traces were obvious. It was obvious that they wanted him to know that someone was following him.

Lin Yan turned around, raised his sword, and a graceful young man walked out.

“It’s you! Why are you following me?”

The person following him was Qin Xiang. He had a smile like the spring breeze on his face. He was as gentle as jade and stood alone, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding dilapidated farmland.

“Lin Yan, your name is Lin Yan, right?”

Qin Xiang sighed slightly and made an extremely polite gesture. “Today, you made contributions, but I have to make up for my mistakes. I’m very unhappy to be suppressed by a mere commoner from the lower city. I specially came here to teach you a lesson. I hope you don’t take offense.”

A hint of anger appeared on Lin Yan’s face at the right time, but his heart became even heavier.

Teaching a lesson? It was obvious that Qin Xiang was here because of the fake City Lord!

However, he did not expect to be targeted even though he had already pretended not to know anything.

Was this a test or to silence him?

Was there only Qin Xiang, or were there other experts hidden around?

Seeing Lin Yan’s vigilant look, Qin Xiang shook his head slightly and didn’t hide his condescension. “If I were you, I would lie on the ground obediently and let me slash you a few times. It’s better than suffering.”

He’s trying to anger me and make me lose my mind…

Lin Yan strengthened the anger on his face at the right time as his thoughts raced.

The other party was testing Lin Yan. Wasn’t this also an opportunity for Lin Yan to test him?

If he could capture this guy and send him to Issuer Liu, she would naturally be able to tell what this guy was truly up to…

The prerequisite was that Lin Yan had to defeat him without using the Azure Dragon Riding Wind and Thunded.

With a plan in mind, the anger on Lin Yan’s face burned even more brightly as a cold glint flashed across his eyes. “Young Master Qin, don’t be too confident. Have you forgotten the kick from last time?”

Without seeing Qin Xiang do anything, he had already drawn his sword and pointed it at Lin Yan.

The expression on his face clearly became a little more indifferent. His sharp gaze enveloped Lin Yan. “Everyone is right. The lowly people in the lower city are indeed eloquent. Unfortunately, you’re just a frog at the bottom of a well. How can you recognize the n.o.bility and strength of the prefecture capital?

“Watch my sword!”
