Tao Fang was astute and had already noticed Mr.

Wei’s greedy and somewhat apprehensive gaze.

He couldn’t help but smile and said, “At that time, Mr.

Wei will naturally get his wish, Tao Someone never shortchanges his own brothers.

As for the Guangning Lin Clan’s actions afterward, don’t worry, they are easily satisfied.

Just offer some [Everlasting Spring Pills], and that Young Master Lin will probably even thank us.”

Upon reflection, Mr.

Wei confirmed that the relationships among the Lin family’s children were indeed as such.

He then repeatedly raised his glass to toast, wholeheartedly pleased.

…

Zhou Ping’an and Tang Lin’er lay quietly under the shade of trees and among the flowers, exchanging glances that revealed a determined intent to kill in each other’s eyes.

“Create a distraction, attack from the east while making noise in the west, divide and conquer…”

Zhou Ping’an quietly arranged.

He had considered several strategies beforehand.

The current scene was clearly the most difficult situation to handle.

The opponents were numerous and, unfortunately, gathered together.

If they recklessly charged in, not only might they fail to rescue anyone, but they might also be killed themselves.

At that moment, Zhou Ping’an’s senses were sharp, and his spiritual power was extremely strong.

From the frequency of their heartbeats and the deep, steady rhythm of their breathing, he could make judgments.

Aside from the Yin Yang Elder, who was a Great Martial Master of the Organ Refinement Realm.

The other two horse-faced men were not much weaker than him.

They also had long, steady breaths, abundant Qi-Blood, and extremely heavy heartbeats, indicating they had also trained in tough horizontal exercises.

They were much stronger than Fang Tielin, the new Strength-Training Martial Master at the Lin Residence.

Even Tao Sihai, the rotund man who did not appear to be combative, had a stronger presence than Mr.

Wei.

“Be careful with the fan, it’s peculiar,” Tang Lin’er warned after scrutinizing it carefully while narrowing her eyes.

“And those Ma Family brothers, known as the Li River’s Two Fiends, are masters of the Blood Renewal Completion through hard training…

It’s said they once trained in the Diamond Temple, a fact that should not be underestimated.”

Zhou Ping’an nodded emphatically and gently patted his shoulder, “Be cautious, and prioritize survival.”

Although Zhou Ping’an was the main combat force in this operation.

The most dangerous role was, undoubtedly, Tang Lin’er’s.

The more noise he made, the greater Zhou Ping’an’s chance of success.

If they could indeed draw out the full force of the household and lure one or two great masters out.

That would be Zhou Ping’an’s opportunity to strike.

Otherwise, even if Tang Lin’er was in constant danger, at the very next moment, faced with life-threatening peril,

Zhou Ping’an here still could not make a move, nor dare to.

If he revealed his intentions too early, he would lose everything.

He watched as Tang Lin’er carried two large jars of fire oil and left until he was out of sight.

Zhou Ping’an restrained his internal breath, controlling his blood flow and heartbeat, lying motionless in the bushes, blending in like a rock weathered by wind and rain…

There was no further movement.

Two bees buzzed out of their nest, guided by the light of a candle, and settled on his body.

They did not realize their landing spot was actually a living creature.

…

“The water’s gone.”

“The water’s gone…”

After a while, as the feast in the Warm Pavilion was already in its third round.

Zhou Ping’an had almost thought Tang Lin’er couldn’t find any opportunity and had just run away, when suddenly,

a bright red glow erupted in the west.

Amidst billowing black smoke, the flames became uncontrollable, soaring into the sky…

The fire oil left over from the last time they defended the city.

The Lin Residence naturally had some stocked as well.

Zhou Ping’an had decided to follow Tang Lin’er on the rescue mission, even considering attacking strategic points and brought two large urns of fire oil, just in case.

It turned out to be very useful indeed.

Raging flames soared, and a pungent burnt scent mingled with the smell of herbs wafted with the wind, making people dizzy.

“The herb storehouse has been ignited…

regardless of whether the herbs were precious or ordinary, all were reduced to ashes.”

Baicao Hall dealt in medicinal herbs.

From harvesting to medicine preparation, to alchemy and pill concentration, it handled all aspects of production.

Behind those expensive finished pill products lay a vast array of various rare herbs.

Most of these herbs were gathered from perilous locations deep in Black Mountain, at the cost of human lives.

A small portion was cultivated in their own medicinal fields,

and they were preliminarily processed through several steps, stored, and then used for alchemy and pill making.

While the main hall of Baicao Hall was the retail space open for business, it certainly did not store large quantities of raw materials.

Most raw materials were kept at various estates.

Greenwood Residence was one such place.

Gathering eccentric talents and offering fine food and beauties…

These masters, while enjoying their pleasures, also had the duty to guard the materials.

Being heavily guarded by many experts, security was naturally flawless.

Nobody would have expected that in the middle of the night, someone would think to bring fire oil to burn their herbal storehouse.

“Someone has set a fire.”

“Enemy attack…”

Some carried water to fight the fire, others rang gongs, some brandished swords in pursuit, and shouts of combat filled the air.

Soon, from the western to the northern side, the noise of people grew louder.

Protectors of Greenwood Residence, swords in hand, rushed out from various rooms.

Every now and then, the sound of battle erupted.

Blood was everywhere.

“Over there, the enemy is tough and stubborn, we need reinforcements,” someone called out.

The clanging noises of sword clashes followed.

Screams were heard.

Bows twanged sharply through the air.

And then a large fire broke out in the north.

“No good, the granary has caught fire too.”

This time, the noise was even louder.

All of Greenwood Residence was in turmoil.

One side’s fire had not yet subsided while the flames on the other side had already begun.

Tang Lin’er was shouting even louder, her voice booming through the sky.

“Baicao Hall bullies the market with their evil deeds, having committed all manner of atrocities.

Today, the City Guards will eradicate this cancer…”

These words were naturally nonsensical, but her voice was naturally strong, and her declarations sounded quite serious.

Those unaware of the truth might actually believe that this clamor was a genuine assault by the City Guards on Baicao Hall.

As the crowd from Greenwood Residence surged, between the flickering of the flames, waves of blood were being spilled everywhere.

From afar, it seemed shadows flickered everywhere, with cries of killing and enemies all around.

…

“Quite an education.”

Zhou Ping’an lay quietly in the bushes, motionless.

His eyes were half-open, keenly sensing the distant sounds of battle.

He could smell the strong scent of blood coming from his nose.

He knew clearly that this time, Tang Lin’er was truly going all out.

She even used the “Purifying Lotus Body” technique, which could only be sustained for the duration of one incense stick.

One slash to the east, another to the west.

You could see the flash of the blade, but not the person.

At first, it seemed like the flashes of the blade were just frivolous cover-ups.

Latter on, it turned into attacks from all sides, the blades flashing like rotating wheels.

“Eight Directions Hidden Blade Style of Night Battle,” nominally hides the blade but actually conceals the person.

Especially under the cover of night, it made the strikes elusive, both treacherous and strange.

It truly was a defensive sword technique crafted to create chaos and protect oneself.

…

“What a waste.”

Tao Fang’s expression turned extremely unsightly.

His stratagems were deep and calculated, leveraging forces against each other, usually content in his undefeatable strategies.

Manipulating the heroes of the world right in the palm of his hand.

From a destitute scholar, he became a refugee.

And from a refugee, he rose to a Vice Hall Master, commanding over a thousand men.

Over these years, he almost felt an illusion that all matters in Qingyang City were under his control.

Nothing unexpected had ever happened.

But the current development, the two rapidly spreading fierce fires, for the first time, gave him a very bad feeling.

The forehead felt chillingly cold.

“It seems, something isn’t quite right.”

“The army of guards couldn’t possibly, Tian Shouyi, no matter how insatiable he is as a hungry wolf, is now in need of the support of all major powers within the city.

Especially since the shortage of medicines for healing and cultivation is at a critical moment, it’s highly unlikely to be targeted at Baicao Hall.”

“Black Mountain Bandits couldn’t possibly either, with several of their leaders dead, even if they entered the city, they wouldn’t focus on Baicao Hall.”

“Green Wolf Gang, the gang leader is injured, and the vice leaders are fiercely fighting over the territories…”

“Spirit Snake Pavilion is busy with infighting, filial piety keeping them busy looking after their own matters.”

“It must be the Lin Family…

But it doesn’t make sense, if there’s trouble, the main hall headed by the hall master would be the first target.

Moreover, the Lin Family has only Lin Huaiyu as the significant threat.

She’s straightforward and direct, and even if she were to attack, she wouldn’t do so in such a secretive and deceitful manner…”

Thinking over and over, Tao Fang held the huge Leisure Fan in his hands, gently fanning the cool breeze.

Although it was early spring and the weather was still a bit cold.

He wasn’t sure if it was because the flames inside were blazing.

But he suddenly felt a hint of dry heat rising from within.

A layer of sweaty oil started to form at the tip of his nose.

“Those attacking are merely petty thieves, only knowing how to dodge and avoid, not daring to confront head-on.

I’ll be right back, I’ll take their heads.”

The bald, rugged man with an arm thick as an iron staff, Ma Ming, struck his staff heavily, shaking the building slightly.

With slightly bent legs, he leapt out of the Warm Pavilion in one bound, heading straight to the fire.

Ma Liang also flashed a fierce grin.

He swung the Forbidden Blade in his hand towards Tao Fang, “My brother and I are inseparable.

It’s hard to sit idly by while our host has offered a feast today.

Please keep the wine warm.

Watch us exterminate the enemies…”

“Good.”

Tao Fang beamed with a smile, feeling a bit more at ease as he watched Ma Ming and Ma Liang rush out of the Warm Pavilion.

With so many experts on his side.

Ma Ming and Ma Liang, both having trained under the Diamond Temple, one of the Seven Great Sects, were well-known and feared throughout the Li River, capable of silencing crying children, their ferocity well acknowledged.

With them taking action, even if the highest level of masters came, they could be directly executed.

Beside him sat the Great Elder Yin Yang Elder.

In Qingyang City, there was no enemy he needed to fear.

“Come on, let’s drink, drink…”

Before he could even finish pronouncing the word ‘drink.’

Tao Fang felt the several large tallow candles inside the house suddenly flicker.

In that moment between light and dark.

A sudden fierce wind blew.

The sound of slicing blades thundered like lightning…

His heart slightly shocked, he grabbed the Leisure Treasure Fan in his hand tightly.

The mechanism within the fan handle was already ready to activate.

In his ears, he heard the Great Elder Yin Yang Elder’s furious roar…

And there was that newly defected Mr.

Wei, with a look of utmost surprise, his ugly mouth gaping open to his ears.

A flash of light went by.

Suddenly, Tao Fang felt intense pain in his chest and abdomen.

His arms became weak and drooped…

Looking down, he saw his own lower half, bloodied and seated on a chair, so familiar.

Meanwhile, his upper body continued to fall, plummeting towards the floor.

“Ah…”

Tao Fang let out a huge scream of agony.

The delayed nerve reaction informed him.

He had been bisected at the waist by someone with a single slash…

The force of the blade was incredibly fierce, with a hidden red glow, whistling from outside the house.

It cut through the wooden walls, severed the high chair, and at the same time, severed his own body in half.
