Chapter 28 Interrogation

  Lin Yun's heart was clear that if things continued like this, he would eventually die at their hands.

  Can he die in peace like this?

  It was as if the heavens were favoring Lin Yun, for just when he couldn't resist anymore, a cold light suddenly shot out from somewhere and struck one of the black-robed old men with unerring accuracy.

  One of the black-clad old men was struck by a cold light and fell to the ground, while the other's face suddenly turned pale with shock. Before he could even comprehend what was happening, another cold light shot from the dark space in the distance, hitting him squarely on the body. The result was the same - in an instant, both black-clad old men were lying on the ground.

  Looking at the two congenital martial artists who had already been subdued, Lin Yun was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of a possibility and immediately knelt down on the ground, saying: "Mysterious Master, if it's you who saved me, please come out and meet with me."

  Since crossing over, no one has truly cared about him except for the recent beautiful teacher and Ye Wei'er. Among them is a mysterious black-clothed person whose origin is unknown, who not only imparted to him the Sword Remnant Chapter but also abruptly raised his cultivation to the level of a pre-heavenly martial artist. This kindness alone is enough to make him acknowledge this mysterious black-clothed person as his master.

  In fact, Lin Yun didn't know that the reason he was able to break through to Xiantian Wuzhe smoothly wasn't because of the black-clothed man, but rather because he had unintentionally swallowed the seven-colored small snake and added it to the evil demon transformation in his body, resulting in a spiritual mutation that raised his cultivation to the realm of Xiantian Wuzhe.

  The dark night seemed even more gloomy, with no one around, only Lin Yun kneeling on the ground, and two innate martial artists who had been subdued lying on the ground.

  "I'm not your master, and you're not my disciple. This time I just happened to pass by and helped you out of coincidence."

  Hearing the voice from the pitch-black space, Lin Yun's heart suddenly felt a thrill of excitement. As expected, although he didn't know what kind of background this mysterious black-clothed person had, he knew one thing - that the mysterious black-clothed person didn't have any malicious intentions towards him. Moreover, whether it was an illusion or not, he always felt that this mysterious black-clothed person was following him, and would appear to help whenever he was in danger.

  "Whether you admit it or not, I've learned from your Sword Remnant Chapter. From today on, you're my master," Lin Yun said, and without caring whether the black-clothed person was willing or not, he directly knelt down in the dark space and kowtowed three times.

  Lifting his head, Lin Yun said: "Disciple requests Master to come out and meet."

  No response, after waiting for a long time without anyone answering, Lin Yun already knew that the mysterious black-clothed man had left. Having no other choice, holding the purple sword in his hand, he slowly approached the two black-robed old men and solved them with one sword each. The spiritual power of the two was also rolled into the Sword Prison by the purple sword.

  Having taken care of the two men in black, Lin Yun did not immediately return to Tianfa Academy, but instead headed towards Qianlai Inn. This time, the Dark Hand organization had come again to assassinate him. If it weren't for the mysterious master's intervention, he might have lost his life already.

  At first, Phantom promised himself that the Dark Hand organization would never come to assassinate him again, but what was the final result?

  Lin Yun's figure gradually disappeared, and in the next second after he left, another black-clad man suddenly appeared beside the two black-clad men, who was the same black-clad man who had given him the Sword Remnant Chapter.

  As he watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance, the man in black had a look of great changes on his face, and with a wave of his hand, the two corpses on the ground had already disappeared without a trace.

  Money Guesthouse

  It was still that secret passage. Lin Yun followed the same man who had brought him into the hidden room last time, passing through the long passage and finally stopping outside the hidden room.

  "Lord Phantom, Lin Yun requests an audience."

  "Come in."

  "Lin Yun, Master Phantom is allowing you to enter, I'll take my leave first."

  Nodding, Lin Yun also didn't hesitate at all. With one hand pushing open the stone door to enter the secret room, he saw Phantom sitting at a table reading a book. His face gloomy, he walked in front of the table and sat down, not saying a word, just like that.

  Seeing the young man not speaking, the phantom seemed somewhat surprised, put down the book in his hand and asked: "What happened?"

  "Phantom Lord, I'd like to ask you a few questions now. Am I one of your subordinates?"

  "Yes."

  "Since I'm your subordinate, shouldn't you be protecting my safety?"

  "That's right."

  "Alright, since that's the case, last time you promised me that the Dark Hand organization would never come after me again. But just now, two innate martial artists from the Dark Hand organization almost took my life. If I wasn't saved by a mysterious person, it might be a corpse standing in front of you right now."

  Upon hearing this, Phantom's face also turned cold and asked: "You just said that two innate martial artists from the Dark Hand organization came to assassinate you?"

  "Your Excellency Phantom, I don't need to lie about this, I haven't reached the point where I can joke about my own life."

  "Hmph, what a dark assassin organization, they don't even care about my warning, come on."

  "Sir, please instruct," the voice seemed to come from nowhere, sitting in a secret room, feeling as if the sound was coming from all directions.

  "Give the Dark Hand organization a good reception for me. After the reception, tell them that if they ever dare to touch my people again, I will make the entire Dark Hand organization disappear from this world."

  "Yes, sir."

  The overbearing method, surprisingly, was to greet first and then warn, while Lin Yun didn't show any surprise at all. No matter how you put it, the Dragon Alliance had always been doing things for the Empire. As long as the Empire was willing, wanting to eliminate a small dark assassin organization seemed like an easy task.

  "Lin Yun, this matter was mishandled by me, I didn't think that the Dark Hand organization would dare to ignore my warning and continue to make a move on you. Don't worry, from now on, the Dark Hand organization will not make another move on you, otherwise they won't want to survive anymore."

  The matter has been settled perfectly, and Lin Yun didn't continue to be stubborn, but instead asked: "Master Phantom, Mei'er invited me to visit the City Lord's Manor tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will be able to see the City Lord, so I want to ask you at this moment, do you have any evidence of this person killing Mei'er and her family?"

  This is important, after all, as long as it can be confirmed that the lord of Tianfa City is the real murderer who killed Mei'er's family, then at that time he will think of various ways to help Mei'er get rid of this beast.

  "It seems like you can guess what's on his mind," the phantom said. "You don't need to ask more about this, when the time is ripe, I will naturally give you all the evidence. What you need to do now is to find out the crime of the lord of Tianfa City as soon as possible. Besides checking if he betrayed the country, also check which faction he belongs to."

  "This is no problem, tomorrow when I go to the City Lord's mansion, I will definitely do my best to investigate. By the way, Shadow-sama, I have one more thing I'd like to ask you, as someone who has seen and heard a lot, have you ever heard of a Sword Sect's power?"

  Jianzong, the two black-clad old men had just mentioned it. If it were something else, he wouldn't have asked more questions. But about Jian Canpian and Jian Qi's affairs, he really wanted to know. He even more so wanted to know what his mysterious master was all about, why he kept helping him three times in a row.

  "Jianzong? How did you know about Jianzong?"

  When Lin Yun heard the Phantom ask himself, he had already guessed that the Phantom should know about Jianzong. After thinking about it, he let it go. As the head of the Imperial Dragon Alliance organization's intelligence department, unless he didn't want to know, nothing could be hidden from him.

  "Just now, a mysterious person saved me, and at that time, another mysterious person flashed by, only to hear the mysterious person who saved me say a sentence, The people of Jianzong are really shameless, so out of curiosity, I asked casually."

  "So that's how it is, the Sword Sect is a superpower in the world, and it's not something you or I can touch. So even if I tell you, it's useless. Alright, I have important things to attend to, if you get any news, come notify me."

  Expulsion Order?

  In his heart, he strongly despised the illusion sitting in front of him. Damn it, can't you just answer my questions about Jianzong? Do you have to act like a big shot? Screw you, if you won't talk, this young master will find somewhere else to ask.

  Since the Phantom had given the order to expel the guests, Lin Yun also didn't continue to stay behind. He bid farewell and quickly left the inn, heading towards the Academy.

  Heaven's Punishment City

  The Wang Family.

  Inside Tianfa City, there are many big and small families. The Wang family is just one of them, neither too big nor too small. Wang Ba is from the Wang family and is also the first heir to the Wang family.

  In a secret room within the Wang family's residence, there were three people present: Wang Jian, the head of the Wang family; Wang Ba, the first heir to the Wang family; and Ye Wen, representing the Dark Hand organization.

  Looking at the gloomy and ruthless killer in front of him, Wang Jian said with a serious tone: "Ye Ge, this time no matter what, you must help your brother."

  Ye Xun, as the liaison of the Dark Killer organization, was responsible for bringing in business for the organization. However, this time's deal seemed to have lost big time.

  "Wang Jian, no matter how much money you offer this time, I won't help you again. Your precious son has offended someone, but who exactly? We've sent two groups of people to deal with it, and none of them have returned safely, including two innate martial artists. Such losses are unbearable for us. Moreover, this time you've provoked the wrong person, even if you don't want to live, don't drag our Dark Hand organization down with you. So, our transaction ends here. Maybe next time we'll have another opportunity to cooperate. Sorry, I have other business to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't give the master of the Wang family any chance to speak at all, and Ye Xun quickly got up and left.
