1754: C1754 Atonement

C1754 Atonement

"It was me and Wen Han who dealt with these bandits!" At this moment, a voice came from the direction Han Fei and the others had just left.

It was Wei Zhongyuan who had returned.

"So that's how it is." When they heard Wei Zhongyuan's words, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.

"Just now when I rushed over, I discovered these bandits. Although I am a Rank 3 Beast Tamer, it was not easy to stop them. Luckily Wen Han rushed out from inside to help me and used his palm to knock out this bandit's boss at the critical moment. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have escaped!" Wei Zhongyuan said again.

"Then Young Master really did a great deed!" The others could not help but speak up.

At this moment, the Mayor and his men had already surrounded them.

Seeing that the boss had been caught, the mayor couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If this boss ran away, then he, the mayor, wouldn't have no face at all.

When he noticed Wei Wenhan, he couldn't help but frown. "Wenhan, why aren't you staying in there obediently?"

"City lord, you are mistaken, young master is here to help. If it wasn't for him, this bandit boss would have already run away." The surrounding people all said.

"Indeed ?" Wei Zhongyuan also nodded his head and repeated what he had said to the Mayor.

Although he felt that the matter was a bit strange, the mayor did not pursue the matter because Wei Zhongyuan had said that he also did not want Wei Wenhan to stay in the dungeon. In his opinion, it was enough for Wei Wenhan to suffer and realize his mistake.

"City Lord, Young Master Wei has made a great contribution. I think we should be able to release Young Master Wei now." Someone hurriedly said at this time.

"I also think that Wen Han can make up for it with his merits." Wei Zhongyuan also said.

"Yeah, it's worth it." The others followed suit.

"If that's the case, then you don't need to stay in the dungeon for Wen Han. However, I hope you can be careful not to make any mistakes in the future. Otherwise, I won't let you off lightly!" The mayor said in a deep voice.

"Father, don't worry. I definitely won't do something like this again. I'll definitely treat Second Aunt like my own mother!" Wei Wenhan quickly promised.

Of course, that was just what he said. Once there was a suitable opportunity, he would definitely not show mercy.

"Alright then." Seeing the sincere look on Wei Wenhan's face, the mayor nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, the City Lord ordered his men to clean up the scene and go to the dungeon to count the number of people. Very quickly, they discovered that other than the dead and injured bandits, there were two less people in the dungeon: Han Feicheng and Zhang Lei.

"Wen Han, what's going on? Where did the two of them go?" The mayor couldn't help but ask Wei Wenhan.

Han Feicheng and Zhang Lei's cell was right next to Wei Wenhan's cell, so the City Lord asked.

"I don't know. They were still inside when I came out." Wei Wenhan directly shook his head.

"Is that so?" Wei Wenhan frowned and stopped pursuing the matter.

This matter was brought to an end like this. Aside from the deaths of the bandits, everyone else had been apprehended. However, because Wei Zhongyuan had sent people to secretly contact them, they did not know that it was all because of Wei Zhongyuan.

Because this way, they couldn't point out that it was Wei Zhongyuan's plan.

On the second day, news of this kind of thing quickly spread throughout the entire Shuangquan City. Zheng Le also told Lin Long and the others about this matter.

"This is too much of a coincidence. Just a moment ago, a bandit was caught and someone came to save him. Furthermore, Wei Wenhan has even done a great deed to capture the bandit boss." Hearing Zheng Le's words, some people couldn't help but frown and say.

"Do you even need to think about it? This must have been planned by Wei Wenhan's people in order to let him overpower us." The other person couldn't help but say.

"That's right, it's very likely." Zheng Le nodded and then said, "However, Wei Wenhan is the son of the City Lord after all. Therefore, this matter cannot be any more normal."

Since Wei Wenhan had already come out, then he would have already joined hands with the Zhang Family to deal with him. And if there was an even more powerful person behind them, then it was possible that they would deal with Senior Brother Zheng Le, Lin Long thought.

With that in mind, Lin Long immediately asked, "Second senior brother, is there anyone stronger in the city who helped Wei Wenhan?"

"There is one person. That person is Wei Wenhan's second uncle. Other than being the City Lord's blood brother, he also has some power. There are even two families in the city that listen to his orders." Someone said right after Lin Long's words.

"That's right, this person's name is Wei Zhongyuan." Zheng Le also said.

"Is that so?" Lin Long nodded.

"With Junior-apprentice Brother Lin's question, I feel that Wei Zhongyuan is probably behind this." Then, someone said this.

"It is indeed possible. After all, only Wei Zhongyuan has the ability to do so." Another person said.

"There is indeed such a possibility. However, all of you only need to discuss this matter softly. Do not talk about it outside!" Zheng Le quickly warned.

"Don't worry second senior brother, we still know how to be frivolous." The people next to him couldn't help but laugh.

"How strong is Wei Zhongyuan?" Lin Long asked again.

"He should be a third level beast, but I'm not too sure about the extent of his strength." Zheng Le said.

"Oh." Lin Long nodded.

After that, another three days had passed. During these three days, nothing had happened. The entire Duquan City was the same.

However, Lin Long's face revealed a smile, because he already had a deep understanding of the alchemy of this world, with his current abilities, he should be able to refine the White Lotus Pellet.

Towards Lin Long's progress, Master Ling and Zheng Le could only be described as astonishing to the heavens.

On this day, Lin Long found a place where no one could disturb him and started refining the White Lotus Pellet. He did not plan to tell Master Ling and Zheng Le that the White Lotus Pellet was no ordinary pill.

After spending over an hour, a pill was formed in the medicinal cauldron.

Picking up the pellet, Lin Long looked at it carefully, and the smile on his face grew even wider, because the pellet was obviously the White Lotus Pellet that was already refined.

After that, Lin Long immediately swallowed the White Lotus Pellet.

The moment the White Lotus Pill entered his stomach, a fiery hot energy circulated within his body.

Lin Long hurriedly circulated his own cultivation technique. After circulating it a few times in his body, the medicinal power of the White Lotus Pellet was completely absorbed by him.

After this, he suddenly felt the Qi tornado in his Dantian become more stable. Not only that, the Qi in his body also became more vigorous.

Needless to say, he had already broken through to become a third level beast.

This White Lotus Pellet was really useful, Lin Long couldn't help but be secretly moved. If not for it, Lin Long thought that it would really take a year or two.

Not knowing if he could activate the Dantian recording s, Lin Long gave it a try.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face, because he could once again use the Dantian recording's ability to hide his presence. With this ability, he would be able to solve some problems in the future.

However, it could only activate the ability of Dantian recording, it had no other way to activate it.

Although the goal of coming to Shuangquan City was achieved, Lin Long did not immediately leave the place. It was not that he wanted to continue to learn alchemy, but rather, he wanted to increase his strength to the greatest extent possible. After all, he still had the Dark Blood Fruit which could help him increase his strength quickly.

Immediately, Lin Long consumed a Dark Blood Fruit. In two days, his strength had risen to the second stage of the third stage of the Beast Mage.

Evidently, at the stage of a rank 3 beast, the Dark Blood Fruit's ability to increase strength had greatly decreased.

After the first Dark Blood Fruit's medicinal effect disappeared, Lin Long swallowed another Dark Blood Fruit.

After another two days, Lin Long's strength had risen to the fourth level of the third level of the Beast King.

The morning when Lin Long was about to eat another Dark Blood Fruit, someone from the City Lord's Mansion suddenly came to find Lin Long.

Although it was strange, Zheng Le did not ask what was going on, but brought the person in front of Lin Long.

Lin Long had seen this person at the City Lord's side before. He should be the City Lord's trusted aide.

"I wonder what's the matter?" Looking at the other party, Lin Long asked doubtfully.

"Can we find another place?" the man asked when he saw Zheng Le on the side.

Lin Long immediately brought him to a house at the side.

Entering the room, the other party took out a piece of paper and passed it to Lin Long: "Lin Gongzi, after you finish reading, you will understand."

Taking a look at this piece of paper, Lin Long's expression changed, because this was a notice for the three great sects, namely Crimson Phoenix Sect, Pill Sun Sect and Skysilk Sect to arrest him together.

Furthermore, it was written that as long as anyone found Lin Long and told them about him, that person would be rewarded by their three great sects.

He'd been surprised that the three sects had teamed up to chase after him.

But thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, he was the one who had killed the genius disciples of the three great sects. Not only that, but he had also snatched away the Dark Blood Fruit and the White Lotus Fruit.

Other than these words, there was even a portrait of Lin Long on top of it. Obviously, it was because of this point that the mayor sent this person to find him.

"The reason the Second Madam was saved was because of the Lin Gongzi. That was why the City Lord did not report to the three major sects about the whereabouts of the Lin Gongzi. Instead, after receiving this announcement, he immediately sent me to see the Lin Gongzi." The person before him said.

"Thank you, City Lord." Lin Long nodded, then asked, "Where did you get this notice?"

They are currently in our City Lord's Mansion. In addition to this one, there are also many others. They told us to post them all over the city so that we can find you as soon as possible. However, upon discovering that the person on the notice resembled Young Master, the mayor had me come to find you first. " the man said.

"Is that so?" Lin Long could not help but frown.

Obviously, he had to leave this place immediately. Otherwise, once these notices were posted, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.

"I'll leave Shuangquan immediately." Lin Long immediately replied.

"Then please be careful, this one will take his leave first." With that, the other side turned and left.

After the other person left, Zheng Le came over and asked with concern, "Junior Brother, are you alright?"

"It's nothing. Because the rescue of the Second Madam is related to me, the Mayor told me to come to the Mayor's mansion and take a seat." Lin Long laughed.

"It's good that you're fine." Zheng Le couldn't help but say.

"I'll head over to the main city now, so I'll head there directly." Lin Long continued.

"Okay, then junior brother go." Zheng Le nodded, without a doubt.

Lin Long returned to his room first, and then he wrote a letter and passed it to a trusted disciple, telling him to wait a while before giving it to Zheng Le.

Although the man was curious about what Lin Long was writing, he did not ask him about the reason.

After doing all that, Lin Long immediately left the courtyard. He originally wanted to go and inform Yang Lu about it, but due to the lack of time, he gave up on that idea.

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Long immediately headed out of the city. After taking a few steps, he started to frown, because he discovered that someone was following him closely.

People from the Crimson Phoenix Sect and Skysilk Sect? Lin Long guessed in his heart.

However, he immediately rejected this guess because if it was the people from the two sects, they would have already called the City Lord's Mansion to help deal with him.0

Since that wasn't the case, then it should be the Zhang Clan or Wei Wenhan's people, and they were here to deal with him.

Thinking this, Lin Long immediately sped up his footsteps.

Lin Long's guess was not wrong, the Level 3 Beast Tamer following behind him was one of the subordinates of Wei Wenhan's Second Uncle, Wei Zhongyuan.

This person had squatted outside Master Ling's courtyard for many days, and today, he finally saw Lin Long walking out.

Other than following him, he also had his men send this information to Wei Zhongyuan at the first possible moment.

Very quickly, Wei Zhongyuan received the news.

"That Lin Li seems to be heading out of the city!" That's what the messenger told Wei Zhongyuan.

Knowing that this was a good opportunity, Wei Zhongyuan's eyes lit up.

Wei Wenhan happened to be beside him, so when he heard the message, he immediately said, "Second Uncle, I want to personally go and capture that Lin Li!"

"Alright, I'll ask you to bring a few people with you." Wei Zhongyuan nodded.

Afterwards, he ordered five people to follow Wei Wenhan and chase after Lin Long.

There was even a Level 3 Beast Tamer among the 5 people. Although Wei Wenhan said that Lin Long was only a Level 2 Beast Tamer, to be safe, Wei Zhongyuan still allowed this Level 3 Beast Tamer to follow.

Adding the first three Level 3 Beast Tamers, there would be two Level 3 Beast Tamers in total. This way, they would be able to take down Lin Long.

Wei Zhongyuan was very careful in his actions. If it was Wei Wenhan, he wouldn't have brought another Level 3 Beast Tamer with him.

With these people, Wei Wenhan immediately chased after Lin Long.

Lin Li, you're finished! Wei Wenhan sneered in his heart.

He was even already thinking about how he could torture Lin Long later on.
