Chapter 94: Cai Lai's Corpse Arrives

  ………………………………

  The ten strongest vanguards, who were at the forefront, did not suddenly rush forward but instead gathered about four or five steps away from Lin Heyan and launched a joint attack. The energy of the full-force strike from the ten second-grade powerhouses converged into a mighty river-like torrent that surged towards Lin Heyan.

  Lin Heng had become incredibly powerful since being tempered by the beast's blood, and his current physical strength allowed him to withstand a blow from a mid-second-order cultivator without any defense. However, his opponent was after all a convergence of over a dozen mighty rivers, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to take that risk.

  His body spun rapidly, a heavy axe swept across, and a gigantic axe blade shadow appeared in the air. "Boom boom boom..." Several intense blood splatters flew out, hitting the five Heavenly Guards in front, their upper bodies flying off, severed into two pieces. The upper bodies that were flung out had their intestines spilling out of their abdominal cavity.

  Lin Heng was just one axe, and the five-second late-stage Tianwei was cut in half at the waist!!!

  His strike not only had unmatched power, causing thousands of people near the front to temporarily lose their sight, but its speed was also terrifying. The five Heavenly Guards' waists were severed in two, naturally losing all signs of life, yet their remaining legs still maintained a forward charging posture. It wasn't until they took two more steps towards Lin that they finally crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

  The scorching sun beat down on the grand dueling platform, where high-quality rocks were stacked to form a clean and new stage. In the blink of an eye, blood flowed like rivers, organs and intestines scattered everywhere, and the shocking scene left people deeply suffocated.

  Those heavenly guards who were ready to rush forward and grab the rewards widened their eyes, hastily stopped in their tracks, and retreated without a word!

  The three products are too powerful! Far more powerful than they imagined!

  It took only one slash to kill five late-stage second-grade cultivators, and there were only thirty or forty of them left. How many slashes could they withstand? In front of a third-grade strongman, they were like ants that couldn't withstand a single blow. Although they were employed by the Cao family and the reward was super tempting, preserving their lives was the most important thing. No matter how many elixirs there were, if they lost their lives, it would be useless.

  Although Lin had already killed three second-grade cultivators before, that was not considered a formal group battle. Moreover, the three people's cultivation was too powerful at that time, and their speed was too fast in continuous movement. Lin did not use his heavy axe either, so the shockwave was not as strong as this one.

  Just now a heaven-startling slash, one slash cut the five flesh bodies in half, giving people a kind of real and terrible huge impact, tens of thousands of people gathered together looking at each other in horror.

  No wonder there has been no native Three Treasures for decades. Although it's difficult to advance to the Three Treasures, once you do, it's really too terrifying.

  What was most shocking was Cao Hongjuan, who had never expected that Lin Yang would be able to explode five Heavenly Guards with just one axe!

  Lin Heng swept towards those shrinking Heavenly Guards, staring coldly at her, step by step approaching. Every time he took a step forward, the strong Heavenly Guards who were making an attacking posture retreated one step back with fear on their faces, like mice encountering a cat.

  Cao Hongjuan was also very brave, but she still felt a sense of helplessness and confusion.

  At this moment, someone rushed up from the side of the stage.

  "Master Lin, please stop and listen to me for a moment." The newcomer was none other than Bai Tian, the chief steward of the Cao family's internal affairs. He had been there from the beginning but not long ago, news spread within the mansion that the master had an urgent matter, so he hastily returned to the mansion.

  "I am Bai Tian, the general manager of Cao's household affairs. I have just been authorized by the master and will be fully responsible for handling this matter on behalf of the Cao family."

  Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, if things are not stopped, they will get out of control, and Bai Tian can only be helpless.

  Lin Heng had heard of his name and his reputation in the community was very good, so he had a slightly favorable impression of him.

  "Director Bai, what can I do for you?"

  Bai Tain pointed to a fifty-year-old elder following behind him and said, "This is Cao Jia Ke Qing Long Lao, Elder Guo. He was also invited by the master of the house to participate in this matter."

  Lin Heng furrowed his brow. Although this old man Guo didn't exude any pressure, it was undoubtedly true that he should be at least a third-rank cultivator. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the guest elder of the Cao family. Before this, Qingniu Town hadn't had any native third-rank cultivators, but for a family like the Caos, inviting some powerful outsiders from outside Qingniu Town was extremely normal. Of course, only a wealthy family like the Caos could afford the invitation fee.

  Bai Tian introduced this guest, with an obvious threatening tone, implying: Now I have a third-grade strongman here, don't be arrogant and domineering, let's have a fair conversation.

  Lin Heng also understood that this was a normal move by the other party. If Bai Tian was here to negotiate or calm things down, he would definitely have to put out corresponding chips. The chips were laid out, and then it was said, don't push people too far, let's talk openly and honestly.

  Being able to become a guest elder naturally means being an extremely powerful warrior. There are many benefits to becoming a guest elder, the first is that one can obtain the rich cultivation auxiliary pills paid for by the host, without having to worry about it, and be able to focus on cultivating martial arts with all one's heart. The second is freedom from restraint, the guest elder's obligation to the host is only one: when the host faces a life-or-death moment, or when a member of the host's family is threatened with death, the guest elder will take action. In normal times, they are not restricted by the rules and etiquette of the host family, unlike ordinary disciples who must pay respects to the sect leader. Some powerful guest elders even have the sect leader pay respects to them first.

  If the host wants the guest to help with other matters, such as going to kill someone or protecting someone, they must pay extra compensation. Of course, the compensation that can drive a high-ranking guest should not be low.

  Bai Tian invited this guest elder, naturally to deal with Lin Hong.

  Lin Heng didn't take it to heart, with his strength, he wasn't afraid of this guest elder. The thorny issue was that there was this guest elder's entanglement, so killing the other Cao family members wouldn't be easy. The others didn't have a deep-seated grudge against him, life and death weren't a big deal, but Cai Lai, this despicable person, was really hateful, must be struck down.

  Lin Hang bowed his hands and said: "Lin Hang."

  The old man also saluted him as an equal and said: "Guo Zui."

  Cao Hongjuan was worried that Lin Huanfa would be invincible, but when she saw the arrival of powerful reinforcements from her own side, she immediately felt a great sense of relief.

  "She slowly walked up and said: 'Director Bai, Elder Guo.'"

  Since Baitian has already obtained her father's authorization, she no longer interferes in this matter. Whether to fight or make peace is entirely up to Baitian to decide.

  As for Guo Zui, she had never seen him before and couldn't help but take a few more glances. In the Cao family, not only her, but also several other brothers had never seen the guest elder who lived behind the Cao family. These guests were all focused on cultivating martial arts and did not want to be disturbed by outsiders, plus various reasons, their identities were extremely mysterious, except for the lord of the manor, no one else knew. No, the only one who also knew was the general manager of internal affairs, Bai Tian. It was he who delivered the offerings to the few guest elders every year in their hidden residence.

  Cai Lai saw Lin Heng kill five Tianwei with one axe, and was originally both fearful and afraid. Seeing that help had arrived, Xuan immediately shouted loudly: "This little beast killed many of our Cao family's strong Tianwei, Elder Guo, quickly behead him! The other Tianwei, follow me to slaughter the Seven Li Gou in front! To avenge our great revenge!!!"

  Bai Tian shot him a cold glance: "The master of the mansion has authorized me to take full charge of this matter, I have my own plans, please don't interfere!"

  Cai Lai's face turned red with rage, and he rolled his eyes: "You..."

  Bai Tian and he as the inner and outer general manager, with equal status. This matter originally belonged to the external affairs general manager's affairs, but once the master of the house authorized it, he immediately had to step aside.

  "Fourth Miss, this is an urgent letter from the master of the house just now, please take a look."

  Cao Hongjuan took over the urgent letter, looked at it, and then swept towards Cai Lai before nodding to Bai Tian.

  The letter said that Father asked both Baitian and her to take charge of the matter together, but Baitian said that he would handle it alone with full authority, and also showed her the original letter. The meaning was clear: Miss, I have already figured out this matter in my mind, please let me handle it myself.

  This is not about taking power away from her, but rather seeking her opinion.

  If Cao Hongjuan opposed, Bai Tian would naturally give up, and Cao Hongjuan could even expose the letter in public. Cao Hongjuan knew this point and nodded her head, meaning she agreed. She had always trusted Bai Tian, knowing he handled things steadily and was very good at understanding his father's intentions, so it was best for him to take charge.

  To be honest, Lin Huan is now too thorny, and she can't think of a solution like a headless fly. After all, Lin Huan has become a third-grade strongman, beyond her control. Another reason is that from the content of the letter, Father was obviously very angry and wanted to severely punish Outer Governor Cai.

  Cai Lai relied on his father's trust and cultivated many loyal followers in the Cao family, making it difficult to deal with. If one was not careful, not only would external troubles arise, but internal troubles would also emerge.

  "I have read this letter. As Bai Zongguan said, Father has authorized him to handle this matter and has made some important arrangements in the letter."

  Lin Hang watched as things changed and didn't intervene, seeing what this group of people wanted to do.

  Bai Tian said to Guo Zui: "Guo Lao, let's get started! I'll make sure to include the payment in this year's annual allowance!"

  He then turned to face the Cao family and said, "After a thorough investigation by the Duke's Mansion, it was found that the conflict between the Cao family and Lin Kuang was entirely provoked by Cai Lai, the General Manager of Foreign Affairs. All responsibility will be borne by Cai Lai alone. As instructed by the Duke, I request that Elder Guo execute Cai Lai in public to apologize to Lin Kuang and the villagers of Qili Gou!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Zui's body flashed, and Cai Lai didn't even have time to scream before his head flew off his neck in a straight line, shooting towards Lin Heng.

  Lin Heng instinctively caught Cai's head, and hot blood dripped down from the severed neck.

  Lin Heng held Cai Lai's head and looked at Bai Tian, his face full of confusion: "What happened? The Cao family's people are killing their own kind!"

  This dramatic scene not only left Lin Hui stunned, but also left tens of thousands of people in the audience with their mouths agape.

  "This matter has come to this pass, the Cao family offers an apology to Lord Lin. We hope that this will be the end of it; what are your thoughts on the matter, Lord Lin?" White Tain asked slowly.

  The Cao family was shocked by this sudden turn of events. Cai Mao was a high-ranking official under the lord of the manor, Cao Kun. Could he be killed just because Bai Tian said so?

  Young Master Cao stepped forward and asked, "Director Bai, what's going on here?"

  "This is what the master of the house means, I'm just the executor." Bai Tian replied calmly.
