Everyoneâs expressions turned ugly. They had finally received the news that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf had appeared, but when they rushed over, they were told that it had already been bought. By the time they found the buyer, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf had already been set free.
It was as if the heavens were playing a joke on them.
âThe Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is rare to begin with. Whether we can find it anywhere else is a problem. Moreover, this round trip will take up too much time. Iâm afraid the City Lord wonât be able to hold on until then.â
General Manager Zhao couldnât help but ask, âIsnât there anything else that can replace it?â
The few alchemists shook their heads, âIf there was anything that can replace it, we would have taken action long ago. Thereâs no need to wait until now. The Howling Moon Celestial Wolfâs inner core has a special effect. It can cleanse the evil aura. Other things canât do this. Even if it can, the effect will be greatly reduced. It wonât achieve the effect that we hoped for.â
It was not easy for the wolf to appear in their territory, but they could not find it. It was simply a trick of fate.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
General manager Zhao felt extremely unlucky. âItâs all that brat Lin Baiâs fault. He let the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf go for no reason. Otherwise, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf would have fallen into our hands a long time ago.â
âCould it be that this brat did not want to tell us the whereabouts of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf and gave us a fake address on purpose? Otherwise, we wouldnât have not been able to find it.â
The more Manager Zhao thought about it, the more he felt it was so. After all, they had searched the entire mountain, yet they couldnât find even a single strand of wolf hair.
Yan Hua felt that this name was somewhat familiar. âWho are you talking about?â
Chen Yanâs eyes lit up. âMaster, itâs that rather talented disciple that I mentioned to you before.â
Hearing manager Zhao and the othersâ discussion, he quickly said, âThere might be some misunderstanding. Even if Lin Bai had a hundred guts, he wouldnât dare to go against the City Lord.â
âMoreover, he is extremely talented. Perhaps he will be of some help to us. Why donât you let me go and take a look?â
General manager Zhaoâs gaze fell on Yan Hua. After all, Chen Yan was his disciple. Moreover, Yan Hua had some say in the City Lordâs Estate. It could be seen that everyone respected him.
Yan Hua could see that Chen Yan greatly admired Lin Bai. It was rare to see him have such a high evaluation of a person. Naturally, he wouldnât disregard his discipleâs face.
âThen letâs do as he said. Moreover, we donât have enough manpower. Previously, the Evil Aura had injured many alchemists. Now, the City Lord is in imminent danger. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up.â
With Yan Huaâs words, Chen Yan was naturally overjoyed. However, it might not be easy to explain to He Qingyuanâs side afterwards. He hesitated and said, âBut the president has already expelled Lin Bai. He has nothing to do with our Alchemist Association anymore.â
âThatâs fine. We can use the name of the City Lordâs Estate to invite him here and ask him for help. Of course, it has nothing to do with the Alchemist Association.â
â¦
On the other side, Shao Feng and the others received the news from the spies of the Alchemist Association.
âWhat did you say? Someone once saw Lin Bai using a wooden sword? Are you sure he didnât see wrongly?â
Shao Fengâs eyes were fierce as he stood up excitedly from the chair mountain. The person who came to report was shocked. âYes, yes.â
âThen why didnât you tell me earlier?â Shao Feng tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand. When he let go of it again, white powder drifted away with the wind from his palm. It was if he had thought of it as someone else.
The person who came trembled in fear as he felt a great pressure coming from above his head. It was like a huge mountain that had come from ancient times. It was so heavy that he almost could not breathe. He quickly said, âI didnât know about it before. I only came back to report it because I accidentally heard someone mention it.â
It turned out that Lin Bai had accidentally entered the forbidden area when he was trying to save Fool Li. He had to use the Ruoshui sword to fight with the creatures in the forbidden area. At that time, he had no consciousness at all. After he came out, he quickly put the Ruoshui sword back into his body. However, he was also noticed by a few people.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. No one took it to heart at that time. It was a pity that the news still reached to Shao Feng after going around in circles.
âAfter I learned of this news, I immediately came to report to the head of the family and asked that person to draw a picture based on his memory.â
Shao Feng hurriedly opened the picture that he had handed over. The Ruoshui sword appeared in his eyes as if it overlapped with the picture of Shao Yuchenâs death that he had seen. He would be able to recognize it even if it turned into ashes.
âThereâs absolutely no mistake. Itâs this sword! Lin Bai is the murderer who killed my son!â
The third elder was the happiest among them. He had always disliked Lin Bai. Now that he knew that he was the murderer, he could not wait to rush over with his men.
âI told you that this kid was suspicious. I didnât expect him to be so cunning. He hid himself so deeply that he almost escaped. This time, I definitely wonât let him escape easily. Family Head, you must punish him properly to console Yuchenâs spirit in heaven.â
Shao Fengâs expression gradually turned dark. âDonât worry, I will definitely not let this kid go. I will make him pay a hundred times the price!â
After he finished speaking, he gathered his men and headed toward the courtyard where Lin Bai was.
Looking at the fierce expressions of the Shao family and the others, Bai He and the others still did not know what had happened. Liao Fanyu was just one of the disciples and was about to go up and ask.
âMaster Shao, I wonder if you ââ
The furious Shao Feng hated them so much that he could not care less. He raised his hand and threw a wind blade at him.
Before Liao Fan could finish his words, he was instantly sent flying several meters away. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The other disciples saw this and quickly surrounded him. They saw that there was still broken flesh in the blood foam that he spat out. It was clear that Shao Fengâs attack was very heavy. He was immediately furious.
âMaster Shao, why did you suddenly attack and hurt someone? !â
