Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1524 - 678: Change (2)

Just as Song Zhenrong finished explaining, Fang Yu gave a shout of ’jia’ and rode his horse to Hong Yanxia’s front.

"Has someone who can really talk finally come?"

Hong Yanxia looked levelly at the person in front of her.

Although he looked like a young man, she dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

"May I ask which Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld in Thunder City this friend might be?"

Misunderstanding.

A big misunderstanding.

But Fang Yu did not address it and instead got straight to the point.

"The person you’re looking for is already dead."

What?

Hong Yanxia’s expression froze for a moment, then she immediately reacted.

"Did you kill her?"

"That’s right."

Fang Yu spoke bluntly, his gaze calm and indifferent.

At that moment, Hong Yanxia suddenly realized she had been careless.

The distance between them was too close.

Due to preconceived notions, she thought the other party was just another Hall Master-level expert like herself.

But... what if that wasn’t the case?

What if he was an expert who had already surpassed the human Martial Arts limits and was above a Hall Master?

Then the current distance would be too dangerous!

Gulp.

For the first time in a long while, Hong Yanxia felt nervous.

"Don’t do anything rash. A fugitive has died, so be it. If you act against me, a Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, that’s a completely different matter."

"What’s the difference... wait! Did you say a fugitive?"

Fang Yu, who was poised to strike at any moment and had already locked in his aura, suddenly froze.

"Of course! Lin Liang, the daughter of the Lin Family, committed crimes of poisoning, murder, theft, robbery, and more, then fled from Da Liang City. She is currently being pursued with all our might. Even if we captured her, she’d be awaiting execution. Senior may have slain her, but it was merely a procedural misstep; it shouldn’t lead to a conflict with our Foolish Underworld..."

Mentioning Lin Liang, Hong Yanxia’s face involuntarily flushed with anger.

Case by case, it’s just a few simple words.

But in reality, it was a major case endangering the entire Da Liang City!

Poisoning wasn’t as simple as poisoning a household.

It involved pouring potent toxins into the protected rivers within the city and into various wellheads.

Now in Da Liang City, safe drinking water has become a rare resource.

Furthermore, this poison was concocted using the Lin Family’s secret formula. The city’s doctors can only relieve symptoms for now. To completely detoxify, the simplest method is to have Lin Liang provide the antidote, allowing city doctors to mass produce it.

It can be said that if this issue isn’t resolved, the death toll in Da Liang City would be unimaginable!

Lin Liang, who committed such a heinous crime, is naturally guilty beyond measure.

As for the murder, theft, and robbery charges, they seem trivial compared to the poisoning.

But they remain horrifying.

Three families were wiped out.

When discovered committing the crime, she, with her remaining accomplices, killed over a hundred people in broad daylight, fighting their way out of the city.

The Foolish Underworld even lost some personnel because of this.

With such serious crimes, how could the Foolish Underworld possibly let her go?

"This girl’s nature is malicious, smooth-talking, and full of lies. I really worry that senior was deceived by her and thus shielded her..."

"Rest assured, she is indeed dead, the corpse is still lying back there."

Hearing Fang Yu speak so calmly and pointing out the direction, Hong Yanxia immediately gave a signal to her trusted subordinate.

Jia!!

The trusted subordinate immediately sped off like the wind toward the direction indicated by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu suddenly understood.

The Jin Mei Assassin was chasing Lin Liang.

The Foolish Underworld was capturing Lin Liang.

This Lin Liang seemed to have completely angered all of Da Liang City.

But the question is... why?

Fang Yu looked at Hong Yanxia with confusion.

"Master Hong, I heard that the Lin Family in Da Liang City has a very good reputation. Why is it that when you’re pursuing the Lin Family’s daughter, the Lin Family has no objections?"

Hearing this, Hong Yanxia was speechless.

She knew the inside story and the situation in Da Liang City, so she dared to lead a team to catch Lin Liang.

But what about this person in front of her?

She knew the status of the Lin Family in Da Liang City, yet still dared to kill the Lin family’s young lady...

To be honest, if it had been a few days earlier, if she encountered this situation, she could only admire in her heart and then brace herself to fight this hero who eliminated a danger for the people, trying to keep the person here.

But now, there’s no need for that.

"Senior, you might not know, Mr. Lin is already dead."

Hong Yanxia said calmly.

"Dead?"

Fang Yu was a bit perplexed.

These old monsters, each strong as Asura, how could they die so easily?

"How did he die?"

"Fell into madness."

Hong Yanxia briefly added: "To break through the bottleneck, Mr. Lin prepared for many years. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. He went insane, couldn’t recognize anyone, slaughtered most of the Lin Family, and even went to the streets to kill. Our Lord of Mansion and several other strong individuals barely managed to stop him jointly."

Fang Yu scratched his head.

Couldn’t have imagined that when chaos erupted in Thunder City, big things were also happening in the neighboring Da Liang City.

"So that means... us?"

Fang Yu gestured between him and Hong Yanxia.

Hong Yanxia immediately smiled: "Senior, please be patient. We must see the person alive, or the corpse dead. Once my people bring back Lin Liang’s body, you are free to go as you please. You, senior, shouldn’t mind waiting a little, right?"

That’s indeed not a hurry.

Fang Yu started pondering again.

If the Lin Family’s mainstay is dead and brought down many of the Lin Family’s experts...

Then the Lin Family deserves to decline.

What Lin family’s young lady? Without family support, committing a big crime, isn’t that courting death?

No wonder Lin Liang was hunted down like that, claiming that saving her came with the bonus of Da Liang City, all nonsense.

Instead, Jin Mei assassin seems to have killed the wrong person a bit. But since Jin Mei’s assassin first killed our team member, this counts as self-defense.

When Fang Yu was thinking about this, Hong Yanxia’s confidant had already returned, with two halves of a corpse on horseback.

"..."

Hong Yanxia silently looked at the body, then looked up at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu shrugged.

What could Hong Yanxia say? Nothing at all.

Could she say Fang Yu was too ruthless?

After seriously checking the body and confirming it was indeed Lin Liang, she cupped her hands towards Fang Yu.

"Senior, I have confirmed, the deceased is indeed Lin Liang. Our Foolish Underworld has a bounty reward, do you want to enter the city to claim it or provide an address, and I will find an opportunity to have it delivered to you later?"

Fang Yu thought for a bit, then said.

"I’ll go discuss it with them."

The situation took a sudden turn.

The original plan can naturally be reconsidered and changed.

Da Liang City, from a perilous town suddenly turning into an ordinary town that can settle down, the circumstances have naturally changed.

However, as for whether to enter the city, Fang Yu decided to listen to Song Zhenrong and Ding Hui’s opinions first.

The personnel from Foolish Underworld, who were strictly guarding the team and blocking the team’s retreat, now under Hong Yanxia’s command, all retreated.

The originally tense atmosphere immediately eased.

The people in the team whose hearts were in their throats, the commoners and merchants, were taken aback when they saw this, full of confusion and bewilderment.

How... did the crisis suddenly resolve?

What did Mr. Diao and those guys from Foolish Underworld say?

The commoners were puzzled, while the merchants had already sent people over to investigate.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu had already informed Song Zhenrong and Ding Hui about the situation.

"Interesting, they dared to poison the water..." Ding Hui immediately got interested.

Poisoning in the water is not something any poison can easily do, because the river has an ample supply of water, unless the total amount of poison is large enough or if it’s extremely potent, it cannot cause much effect.

And clearly, the poison from Lin Liang was capable of contaminating the water source and poisoning half of the city’s people.

"Such a virulent poison is probably something the Lin Family has come up with in recent years, while researching Withered Heart Cold."

Even the news Ding Hui received was already old news.

The Blood-cooling Pill, within the Lin family, was probably outdated long ago.

After all, this stuff can’t be sold outside Da Liang City, only depends on the Lin family’s dominance, sold within Da Liang City.

"The team is nearly out of rations, everyone is exhausted. If we can safely rest in Da Liang City for some time and resupply, it’s also a good choice."

Song Zhenrong pondered.
