Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My Lord, according to the soul tracking plate, Gu Ruoyun should be near this little village.”
A group of people were standing in mid-air outside Wind Fall Village.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a snobbish and indifferent expression. His eyes were cold and icy. Upon hearing his subordinate’s report, a sneer appeared on his face as he ordered, “Move out! No matter where she runs to, she won’t escape from the palm of my hand! If it had not been for a sudden issue in the soul tracking plate, we wouldn’t have needed an entire month to find this place.”
Whoosh!
Once he had said his piece, Lin Fen warped and reappeared in the village.
At this time, everyone in the village was experiencing an auspicious and peaceful period. In the absence of the trouble-causing bandits, the men were tilling the farm and the women were weaving. It was peaceful and prosperous. However, the villagers of Wind Fall Village never thought that a group of uninvited guests would also destroy the auspiciousness and peace of the entire village on this very day.
“Little maiden, have you seen the woman in this picture?”
One of the Lin family’s cultivators noticed a freckled-faced little maiden who was passing them by. He grabbed her hand immediately as he inquired in an icy voice.
The little maiden clearly jumped in fright from the stranger’s actions. Her eyes then moved timidly towards the portrait in the latter’s hands. However, when she was stunned when she saw the woman in green in the picture.
This… Isn’t this Nian Ye?
The little maiden bit her lips. Previously, Big Brother had taken the wounded Nian Ye in. These people are now searching for her whereabouts. Could it be that these bad people are looking to hurt her?
To the naive little maiden, anyone who wishes to harm Nian Ye was a villain.
The reason behind this was very simple!
In her heart, Nian Ye was a great and kind person. Therefore, the people before her must be bad people.
“I… I don’t know her.”
The little maiden replied in a timid voice. Her big, bright eyes filled with confusion as if she had never seen the woman in the painting in her life.
“My Lord, she’s lying.” The Lin family cultivator who had grabbed the little maiden turned towards Lin Fen, joined his fists and remarked, “The soul tracking plate clearly states that Gu Ruoyun has been here before. This place still contains the aura that she’s left behind even though she is no longer around! However, this country bumpkin had the audacity to lie to the Lin family members and withhold information about Gu Ruoyun’s presence here. How should we deal with this?”
Lin Fen was silent for a moment before he mildly lifted his head as his features filled with icy lines.
“Spare no one! I want Gu Ruoyun to understand the price she has to pay for having the audacity to escape from the Lin family’s clutches!”
That price would start from anyone who has ever had any connections with her!
“As you command!”
The Lin family group joined their fists and replied in unison.
Lin Fen laughed icily before he slowly turned around and walked out of the village.
The sounds of combat and screams that came from behind him did nothing to make him stop. To forces like the Lin family, a bunch of villagers was about as significant as insects.
Useless good-for-nothings like them would bring no consequences even if they were to kill tens of thousands of them!
“Gu Ruoyun, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I, Lin Fen will catch you and make you experience the true meaning of despair!” Lin Fen paused in his steps and stared at the sky not too far away. An eerily cold smile filled his face.
…
At this moment, Gu Ruoyun, who was still in the middle of her breakthrough in the blazing cave, was unaware of the massacre in the little village! If she had known that the Lin family was not only able to trace her aura and act with such bloody cruelty, perhaps she would have chosen to not leave Wind Fall Village so soon.
