Chapter 549: Lin Someone Enters the Mansion

Although war is brutal and the process is bleak, the ultimate result is sweet.

Whether it’s Liu Shuqin and her companions or the capable individuals stuck in prison, they all fought hard and welcomed the sweet fruits of their labor.

Inside and outside the prison lay chaos, with countless dead and injured, as if a fierce civil war had just erupted.

Defeating and driving out the evil forces was urgent for them.

“I wonder who that little brother is? He possesses such courage and strategy?”

Huang Heng asked curiously, pondering about this person. He recalled their encounter in the prison when the young man boldly stated, “You are no match for me.” Such an arrogant attitude sounded incredibly self-assured, but considering his strength, he indeed had the right to be so.

“He is my junior martial brother, Lin Nuo.”

“Oh? So he’s Miss Liu’s junior. Indeed, the Xuanyun Sect is full of outstanding individuals. Brother Lin’s courage and strength leave me quite impressed,” Huang Heng remarked with admiration; truly, heroes emerge from youth, and the future of the commoners looks bright.

“My junior brother should still be inside the prison. We can go meet up with him, and there are likely many injured people we need to assist,” Liu Shuqin suggested softly. Following that, their main force entered the prison to clean up the aftermath and rendezvous with Lin Nuo to report their achievements.

However, after searching for a long time inside the prison and calling out repeatedly, they couldn’t find Lin Nuo, not even a trace of him.

Where could he have gone?

……

{The place must be in utter chaos now. With the criminals escaping, they will definitely cause havoc all over, leading to the downfall of Huan Tian City.}

Lin Nuo was thinking about the pleasant things; since he couldn’t lure the rebels into the city, releasing the criminals to create chaos, clashing with the soldiers, and leaving the common people in dire straits was also a splendid plan.

Hm, a splendid plan.

He didn’t have time to fight side by side with Liu Shuqin and her group. Now that the criminals were out causing mayhem, he had to rush to the City Lord’s Mansion to reclaim what belonged to him.

Equipped with a sensing disc to locate his spiritual tools, all he needed to do was sneak in and steal them back.

Though the prison was in chaos and most soldiers in town had been deployed, there were still plenty stationed at the City Lord’s Mansion; after all, that fat city lord was scared for his life and had arranged many soldiers for protection.

He couldn’t wait around; otherwise, he might end up uncertain about what Liu Shuqin and her group might do regarding his spiritual tools. If they messed with them and triggered an explosion, that would be unfortunate for the mansion, but losing his stuff would be a bigger disaster.

So, he had to act fast to reclaim them, lest the night grow long with many dreams.

Now, with guards outside, Lin Nuo needed to scale the wall to get in.

But he thought about how there would be someone watching inside, so he needed to divert their attention.

Alright, back to the old trick.

Earlier, he had stored white smoke in a gourd, and deliberately took it out and opened the lid, releasing an enormous cloud of white smoke that began to engulf the City Lord’s Mansion.

In an instant, panic spread throughout the entire mansion.

“What is this! Why has white smoke suddenly appeared?”

“Quick, drive it away!”

They hurried to disperse the white smoke, but it was futile; no matter how much they blew, it just wouldn’t dissipate and quickly spread even more.

Perfect, just now.

He had already donned his mask and jumped over the wall, using the chaos to slip into the City Lord’s Mansion.

Next, he would follow the guidance of the sensing disc to search for his spiritual tools, and then, he’d bag them all up.

Though it felt a bit like looting, a big bag was indeed convenient—gangsters loved using such bags. Anyone they disliked would get a big sack over their head, followed by a thorough beating; very satisfying.

Inside the mansion, chaos erupted as they couldn’t tell friend from foe, bumping into one another and collapsing to the ground.

Meanwhile, Lin Nuo was getting close to his target when suddenly a figure appeared, moving with incredible agility, slashing at him with a knife, almost hitting Lin Nuo.

{That was close!}

Lin Nuo paused, not continuing his rush. He was still over ten meters away from his destination but was now blocked by someone.

The man had a cold demeanor, looking like an assassin with years of experience, quick on his feet. If it weren’t for Lin Nuo’s quick reaction, he might have bled right there.

The white smoke was quickly enveloping the area, but this man conjured a whirlwind in his hand and struck out, dispersing Lin Nuo’s white smoke completely.

He hadn’t seen this man when he snuck in—probably a rescue troop from Dong Wei?

His black attire bore the character “影” in a green shade, indicating he might belong to some assassin organization.

As the white smoke cleared, numerous mansion soldiers rushed in, surrounding Lin Nuo.

“Who dares to act so recklessly in my mansion?!”

At that moment, the plump Zhou Cheng wobbled into view, flanked by sturdy guards, confidence radiating from him as he spoke in a thunderous voice.

“Your father.”

Lin Nuo tossed out that line.

“Huh? You really are bold! Don’t you realize you’re at a disadvantage now? Men, beat him up good! Make him unable to care for himself!”

Zhou Cheng was furious; with so many people around, beating this kid up would be a piece of cake.

A swarm of people lunged at Lin Nuo, but to him, they were all minor matters.

Dao Fu, spiritual energy release.

In an instant, he pulled out a Dao Fu and unleashed energy that sent the approaching soldiers flying back.

Then he called forth the wind underneath him and darted towards the bulky Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng was taken aback:

“Quick, block him!”

Two guards rushed to defend, but Lin Nuo simply punched one burly man directly, and the man didn’t even flinch.

However, this was just like striking through the mountain to hit the bull on the other side; a powerful force surged towards Zhou Cheng.

You fat dog, kneel before me!

Just when it seemed Zhou Cheng would be blasted to the ground, the man with the “影” character in his clothing dashed in front of Zhou Cheng and blocked Lin Nuo’s technique.

Nice one.

Lin Nuo quickly stepped back, retreating into the center of the encircled crowd.

Now everyone hesitated to approach, fearing another smack from Lin Nuo’s Dao Fu, so they just surrounded him without making a move.

Their morale had just risen, but being knocked back made them more cowardly; now one by one they hesitated.

They looked like dogs, barking at him with their teeth clenched, but once scared, they would run off, only to continue barking.

And now this bunch of soldiers was just like that, all relying on their numbers.

“Scared to death! This kid dares to attack me, but luckily I have my men behind me. There’s no way for you to succeed here, dream on!”

Zhou Cheng finally relaxed, no longer panicking, becoming arrogant again, gloating at Lin Nuo.

Meanwhile, the man standing in front of him remained icy and cold, clutching a sharp knife and staring down Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo shook his head and spread his hands.

This wasn’t surrender; it was just a sigh of exasperation:

“Not bad, if only you’d come sooner, this city wouldn’t have so many troubles.”

After saying that, his expression grew serious as he pointed at the man with the “影” character, coldly declaring:

“Let’s have a one-on-one.”
