C36 Shameless Retribution
C36 Shameless Retribution
A commotion finally broke out among the crowd!
The mysteriousness and terror of the Lau family's old mansion was known by everyone.
Lin Fann, a puny Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, had ventured deep into the mansion. It could be said that he was dead for sure. However, the people had always held a glimmer of hope in regards to the various methods of the priest.
They thought that since Lin Fann was a priest, there was a high possibility that he had hidden some tricks that could help him escape from the Lau family's old mansion.
However, as time passed, the people's confidence in Lin Fann gradually decreased.
A sneer emerged on Lin Xiao's face. He believed that there was an inescapable net in the old mansion of Lau family. With Lin Fann's means, there was absolutely no way he could escape from it!
"Let's go! If Lin Fann fails to explore the path, I will report to my family and give them a proper burial. Then, I will send some experts to kill the devil!" After saying that, Lin Xiao turned around and prepared to leave.
"Pa!" A soft sound of footsteps could be heard.
The surroundings of the Lau family's ancient mansion suddenly became silent!
"Lin Fann! You have come out!" Lin Xiu widened his eyes and cheered. He saw Lin Fann walk out of the Lau family's old mansion with the corpse of a cold devil on his shoulder!
"He... he actually succeeded!" Everyone was dumbfounded. Even those who had the most confidence in him believed that Lin Fann would be able to walk out of the Lau family smoothly. It was already considered very good. No one dared to imagine it. He could actually kill a devil and carry its corpse out.
Lin Fann's means had completely overturned everyone's common sense!
"How could this be?!" If others were only surprised, then as a participant, Lin Xiao's heart was filled with shock!
He had already known about the strangeness of the Lau family's old mansion and how powerful that devil was. Even if he were to go there himself, he might not be able to come out alive.
What the hell? Could it be that this Lin Fann was really protected by a divine being in the dark?
Lin Xiao's heart was filled with fear, and he didn't know what to do.
However, his palm couldn't help but touch the flat black wood on his waist, causing his mind to calm down. Immediately, he had a backbone.
"Lin Fann, you did well. I will report your achievements truthfully. This is the credit of the 823rd team. Hand over the corpse of that devil to me. You can leave now and rest!" Lin Xiao said in a deep voice.
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person! It was clearly Lin Fann who divined the location of the devil. After that, he took the risk to enter the Lau family's old mansion and kill this devil. After that, he carried the corpse out of the mansion. Why did he say that it has become the contribution of Squad 823?"
Lin Xiu felt injustice for Lin Fann. He felt that this Lin Xiao had been completely ruined. If it was the contribution of Squad 823, then Lin Xiao, as the captain, would probably be able to get 80% of the credit. As for the few of them, they would split the remaining 20% of the credit equally.
Lin Xiao's mouth twitched. He did not attack Lin Xiu and pretended not to hear Lin Xiu's complaints.
In the Lin family, he really didn't dare to offend any disciples. For example, behind Lin Xiu, there was a big figure protecting him. A single thought could freeze the three elders of the Wang family. If they wanted to kill him, they wouldn't need to waste too much of their energy.
Not to mention Lin Xiu, even the other onlookers felt that Lin Xiao had gone a little too far. He had oppressed and humiliated his fellow disciples. Could it be that Lin Fann and Lin Xiao had some great enmity between them? Did he kill his father and seize his wife?
It was just that the onlookers knew that they wouldn't hang themselves in the internal strife of the Lin family. Therefore, some of them remained silent, and no one said a word.
"Seventh Elder, do you really want this corpse? This thing is contaminated with an unknown substance. I'm afraid it will spread to Seventh Elder!" Lin Fann hesitated. His face was full of concern. Lin Xiao's excessive request seemed to stir up even the slightest anger and ripple in his heart.
"Cut the crap. Even you are not afraid. Do you think I will be afraid?" Lin Xiao waved his hand and sucked the devil's corpse into his hand.
The ghastly death Qi attached to the corpse was instantly dispersed by Lin Xiao's Qi and blood!
"Hahaha! I never thought that I, Lin Xiao, would become the first person in Black Tortoise City to kill a devil!" Lin Xiao was shameless and directly attributed all the credit to himself.
He grabbed the corpse of the devil as if he had obtained a supreme treasure!
"The corpse of a Body Refining Stage devil? Give it to me! I can spare your life! "
A cold voice sounded from afar. It was as if an imperial decree had descended. It was high and mighty, faintly revealing an indisputable dignity.
"Spare my life! Haha, stop pretending to be mysterious. How dare you snatch something from me, Lin Xiao? This kind of person isn't even born yet!"
Lin Xiao burst into laughter. He wasn't afraid at all. This was the Black Tortoise City of the Lin family, the Black Tortoise City of Black Tortoise City. Even though they were all from the three major families, not many of them dared to make a move on him.
"Pa!"
A slender hand landed on Lin Xiao's cheek.
Lin Xiao was completely caught off guard. Half of his face swelled up from the slap.
"Pretending to be mysterious?" A cold voice approached from afar. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Lin Xiao.
A white veil covered his face and his eyes were cold. Lin Xiao felt dizzy from the slap. His head was blank and he did not recover for a long time.
"Miao Yaner!" Lin Fann recognized this godlike girl.
In the Heavenly Devil Token, there was a reward for paying the devil's corpse for contribution points all year round. Even if the green blood was sucked dry, the corpse of a Body Refining Level Seven devil was still worth 300 contribution points.
Lin Fann guessed that this devil's corpse must have a special meaning to the Human Devil Cult.
That was why he set up this trap and handed the corpse of the devil to Lin Xiao, waiting for the members of the Human Devil Cult to snatch it away.
"How dare you!" Lin Xiao regained his senses and became extremely angry. As an elder of Lin family, he had always been high and mighty. He had never been slapped in the face like this before.
Behind Miao Yaner, black holes appeared, constantly emitting a vast and mighty Qi.
"I don't dare?" Miao Yaner's hand fell once again, slapping towards Lin Xiao's other cheek.
This time it was even heavier! Lin Xiao's whole body flew out and heavily fell to the ground. His throat felt sweet and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Invite the Lin family's ancestors to help us!" Lin Xiao roared crazily.
He waited for a while, but there was no response!
The higher ups of Lin family naturally knew Miao Yaner's identity.
Human Devil Cult was a colossus not inferior to the Human Alliance. At this moment, they did not want to become enemies.
"Invite the ancestors of the Lin family to help us!"
"Invite the ancestors of the Lin family to help us!"
"Invite the Lin family's ancestors to help us!"
After a series of shouts, Lin Xiao finally lost all hope. He finally understood that he had offended a great figure that he couldn't afford to offend. Even the entire Lin family couldn't afford to offend him.
Miao Yaner coldly harrumphed. With a wave of her hand, she kept the corpse of the devil into the Inventory Bag. Intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced at Lin Fann, who was in the crowd. After that, she took a step forward and floated away.
"Elder Lin Xiao, are you alright?! I already told you that this corpse is unknown. You can't provoke it, but you just don't believe me. " Lin Fann muttered to himself and went to help Lin Xiao.
When Lin Xiao heard Lin Fann's words, he was so angry that he spat out blood again. He almost had internal injuries from holding it in.
This time, Lin Xiao had become the laughing stock of the entire Black Tortoise City. Not only was he shameless, he had even stolen the credit of his junior. He had even been slapped in the face and robbed of the devil's corpse. This time, he could no longer claim credit from others. Because the devil's corpse had been stolen, it meant that he had lost all proof of taking credit.
"Kid, you've really been thoroughly ruined!" Lin Xiao left angrily. It was just a matter of time before the crowd dispersed. The little fatty leaned his head over and said to Lin Fann in a low voice.
As a member of the Human Devil Cult, he naturally knew Miao Yaner. He was also very clear about how the Human Devil Cult was collecting the corpses of the devils. He could tell with a single glance that it wasn't bad luck for Lin Xiao to be beaten up. He had also fallen into Lin Fann's trap.
Lin Fann rubbed his chin. "This has nothing to do with me! It was clearly Lin Xiao who was unlucky!"
Qian Rushan chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. This has nothing to do with you. Brother Lin, I wonder what you have gained from this trip to the Lau family?"
Qian Rushan's eyes lit up like a thief.
Qian Rushan was a money-grubber. There were not many places in the library that could help him. The vulgar and flattering smile made Lin Fann shiver.
Lau family was once one of the three big families in Black Tortoise City. There were several Dao Building experts and Hidden Acupoint Stage experts guarding the place. Their wealth was boundless, and it made people covet them. However, the Lau family was a strange place, and it wasn't a place that ordinary people could enter.
As a result, no one in the Lau family was able to obtain their wealth. There was a treasure vault, but no one dared to enter it.
"I have only entered the outer region of the Lau family, not the deeper region." Lin Fann shook his head and said with some regret.
Qian Rushan smiled and said, "It does not matter. Since you can enter the Lau family, then we can earn a lot of money. The courtyard at the entrance of the Lau family was paved with ten thousand year old black stones. This kind of stone was very expensive. Each piece was worth at least a thousand taels of silver. I once obtained a map of the Lau family's old residence. The courtyard of the Lau family is very big, and it has a radius of at least 30 meters. As long as we empty this courtyard, the black stone floor inside will be worth at least a million silver coins!"
Lin Fann was stunned. This Qian Rushan had really lived up to his name.
A goose would pluck its feathers. His desire for money had become extremely strong.
Even the black stone floor of the Lau family was coveted by them. They were definitely the legendary money-grubber who could make money from the stones!
However, Lin Fann thought for a while. Recently, he had been short of money. So, he nodded and said, "Ninety percent, I'll give you nine!"
"Fifty fifty percent. I'll need to spend a lot of effort to sell the floor."
Qian Rushan was open-minded when he saw money. He would not let go easily.
"Twenty eight, you two and I eight. In any case, I am the only one who dares to enter the old mansion of Lau family. If you don't agree, I can find someone else to cooperate with." Lin Fann put on an expression that said 'if you can't do it, I'll look for someone else to cooperate with'.
Qian Rushan smiled apologetically. "Two eight is two eight! You take eighty percent, I take twenty percent. That should be fine, right? "
Then, overnight, the ten-thousand-year-old black stone floor of Lau family was stolen. Qian Rushan sold the black stone floor in reverse according to the agreement, earning him two million silver taels. The two of them split the profits evenly. The 1.6 million silver banknotes were stuffed into Lin Fann's pocket.
"Xu Chuan was killed!"
Late at night, Lin Fann was reading ancient books in the library of Lin family. The contents of these ancient books were not all kinds of mysterious cultivation techniques or secret techniques. Most of them were ancient secrets and stories of extraordinary people. Therefore, he was not qualified to read them. All disciples of the Lin family were allowed to enter.
Lin Fann was very interested in the devil. It seemed like the devil hadn't appeared recently. A few hundred years ago, a crack in the Devil World had opened. It was just that it was sealed by the experts of the Human Clan, so it didn't cause any big waves.
