SanjitNovel Chapter 62
Chapter 62
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I've always been a filial person, and even if I risk my life, I will do what my elders ask for."
Lin Pingzhi said with a serious face: "If you don't believe me, I can swear to the sky right now. If I, Lin Pingzhi, fail Yingying, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death!"
Hearing the word "filial piety", Ren Woxing glanced at Lin Pingzhi speechlessly.
He never thought that this son-in-law could be so brazen. One second he had just driven his father-in-law to a corner, but the next second he could still call himself "filial piety".
"Hahaha, well, shameless enough!" He laughed.
"I thought you were a rigid, pedantic, selfless guy. I was worried that if you could kill my father-in-law for the sake of peace in the world, would you be able to kill your beloved one day for this? Now it seems that this kind of worry There is no need at all..."
After saying these words, the former leader of the Demon Cult, who once made the whole martial arts world fearful, closed his eyes, lowered his head slowly, dropped his hands in the air, and never breathed again.
"Ding! The mission is successful! You have obtained the follow-up sword technique of "Thirteen Swords of Desperation"—the No.14 sword!"
Hearing the prompt from the system, Lin Pingzhi finally confirmed Ren Woxing's death, put his sword back into its sheath, stepped forward and carried Ren Woxing's body out of the tunnel, and put it in Huang Zhonggong's room together with the bodies of the four friends of Meizhuang.
"Offended, my father-in-law, in this martial arts world, there is no need for someone with too much ambition..."
Soon after, the house where Huang Zhonggong and others lived suddenly caught fire.
The servants in Mei Zhuang woke up from their sleep and carried water everywhere to fight the fire, but the fire had already formed, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Everyone could only retreat quickly, watching the house being engulfed by the flames and gradually reduced to ashes.
On the top of a certain attic not far away, Lin Pingzhi looked at the fire that illuminated the night sky, and at the same time thought of Ren Yingying's pretty face that seemed to be angry and happy.
After a few seconds of silence, he turned around decisively and left, quietly returning to the inn where he lived.
Regarding the matter of killing his father-in-law with his own hands, it is naturally impossible for him not to feel guilty about Ren Yingying, but when he thought of the plot of the original book, Ren Woxing passed away due to old age and frailty due to fainting in the middle of launching a crusade against Mount Hua. The guilt in my heart disappeared immediately.
After all, Ren Woxing is going to die sooner or later, he just sent Ren Woxing on the road earlier, and doing so can also reduce some troubles in the martial arts world, why not do it?
The next morning, Qu Feiyan, who woke up early, knocked on Lin Pingzhi's door.
"Brother Ping, get up, let's go play together!"
Lin Pingzhi, who had been meditating in the room all night, opened his eyes, stood up and opened the door, pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "Have you made up your mind? Where are you going to play later?"
"West Lake! I want to see how beautiful the West Lake in Hangzhou is!"
"Okay, let's go and have a look after breakfast." Lin Pingzhi nodded and agreed without any hesitation, not caring about the murder and arson committed by the West Lake last night.
……
By the West Lake, Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan strolled leisurely while admiring the beautiful scenery.
The breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples.The white clouds in the sky and the green mountains in the distance are reflected in the lake, which is refreshing.
However, beside such a beautiful lake, there is a manor that has been burnt out of shape standing in the eyes of everyone, bringing a little disharmony to this peaceful and beautiful scene.
"Eh? A house here is on fire, it seems like it started last night." Qu Feiyan looked at the manor that was still smoking, feeling rather surprised.
"The weather is dry and things are easy to catch fire. I hope the people living in the house are okay." Lin Pingzhi responded casually, with a very calm expression on his face, as if he did not set the fire at all.
He just glanced at it once or twice, and then continued to move forward.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan didn't care about how the manor burned, and hurriedly followed, chatting with Lin Pingzhi about other topics.
At the same time, within Meizhuang.
A group of Demon Cult disciples were clearing up the debris, and they dug up five corpses that had been burnt until only their bones remained from under a pile of rubble.
"I will report to Elder Qin and Elder Bao that Huang Zhonggong and others have been unable to be contacted, and we have already sent people to investigate the dungeon, only found some blood, but no trace of Ren Woxing! Someone helped Ren Woxing cut off I'm afraid Ren Woxing has already escaped!"
After listening to the report of their subordinates, Bao Dachu and Qin Weibang, one of the ten elders of the Demon Cult, couldn't help frowning and looked at each other.
Hangzhou is famous all over the world, and it is also an important place where Ren Woxing was imprisoned. Of course, the Demon Cult has set up a stronghold here, and Bao Dachu and Qin Weibang are in charge of the Hangzhou stronghold.
After hearing that Meizhuang was on fire last night, the two rushed to this place immediately, but it was too late.
"Could it be that these five corpses are the four of Huang Zhonggong and Ren Woxing? Someone helped Ren Woxing escape from the dungeon. He happened to meet Huang Zhonggong and the others and fought with them. In the end, both sides died, and they accidentally knocked over the corpse. The candle flames set the house on fire..."
"But... Hasn't Ren Woxing been locked in the dungeon all this time? There are so many traps inside, how can he escape?"
Looking at the five corpses in front of them, the two elders fell into deep thought.
Everything here is full of doubts, and the five corpses were burned to the bone, and their identities were unknown. They had no way to deduce the whole story.
"Forget it, no matter how you think about it, it's useless. Let's report the matter here to the leader first."
"That's what I meant."
After the two discussed it, they could only report the matter to the current leader, Dongfang Bubai, and wait for Dongfang Bubai to make a decision.
……
After spending a few days in Hangzhou, Lin Pingzhi took Qu Feiyan and left Zhejiang for Luoyang, Henan.
Having read the plot of the original novel, he knew that Ren Yingying's residence was located in Luzhu Lane in Luoyang City. He went there this time to visit the ancient city of Luoyang and also to meet Ren Yingying.
However, the development of things is always unexpected. When Lin Pingzhi arrived in Luoyang City, the Green Bamboo Lane was deserted.
Thinking about it, this holy lady of the Devil's Cult is not a person who can sit idle, she must be carrying out some kind of secret mission of the Devil's Cult at this moment.
So, Lin Pingzhi took Qu Feiyan to play in Luoyang for a few days, and after paying a visit to his grandfather Wang Yuanba's family, he left Luoyang and planned to go to Shanxi Hengshan to meet Yilin.
Outside Luoyang City, at the Yellow River Ferry.
Lin Pingzhi was about to cross the Yellow River by boat and enter Shanxi.
But at this moment, a woman in Miao costume caught Qu Feiyan's attention.
"Brother Ping, look there! That sister seems to be in trouble!"
Lin Pingzhi looked in the direction of Qu Feiyan's finger, and saw a Miao woman arguing with several men over a herb at a stall not far away.
"Those people are going to attack, Brother Ping, hurry up and save her!"
Seeing Qu Feiyan's endless urging, Lin Pingzhi felt a little puzzled.
He thought that people in the Demon Cult should not meddle in their own business, but why did Qu Feiyan insist on asking him to save the Miao girl?
