After mastering the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill to perfection, the progress of each subsequent cultivation session accelerated.

That night, he increased his cultivation by four points.

Medicinal baths added one point, and every Great Essence Boosting Pill also contributed one point.

He silently pushed the originally planned 34 strands of Evil Qi entirely onto his cultivation.

"Among those in the Refining Essence Realm, he could be considered among the upper echelons,"

Lin Yan felt quite satisfied and then picked up the dossier, flipping to another page.

This page recorded that after the Great Commander had rescued him that night, Han Commander took him to meet Mr. Lu at the Essence Nurturing Shop.

But no sooner had Han Commander left than Jiazi Taishui’s corpse erupted once more, stretching out endless tendrils, terrifyingly grim.

In the end, Outer South Government Office’s copious amounts of petroleum and fire arrows completely incinerated it.

The petroleum, mixed with a large amount of temple lamp oil, left no residue of Jiazi Taishui’s body.

Seeing this, Lin Yan’s eyes flickered momentarily.

Having already confirmed his suspicions by seventy to eighty percent upon seeing this page, he was now one hundred percent certain.

For his blade had acquired over a thousand strands of Evil Qi!

It proved he had successfully slain Jiazi Taishui, who had become a "creature of this world!"

If so, Jiazi Taishui’s body was just a dead thing!

The sudden change in Jiazi Taishui’s body after Han Commander left was because Han Commander on the scene could see through the clues!

According to the records on the dossier, Deputy City Governor Wang Yuan realized there was something amiss at Linjiang Square while capturing Deputy Order Envoy Zhao Yuan with Han Commander, and they rushed together to the slaughterhouse!

But now it seemed that the copious use of petroleum, laced with a large amount of temple lamp oil, indicated that the opposition had been prepared for a long time.

"Alas..."

Lin Yan let out a sigh.

He stood up, closed the doors and windows.

He came before the spirit casket of Great Commander, revealed his true face hidden beneath Wu Chang’s guise.

He then bowed deeply and said in a low voice, "The soldiers of the city defense believe that the Great Commander, unable to endure becoming disabled, not wishing to die in a sickbed, thus chose to end his own life."

"Looking at it now, it seems the Great Commander couldn’t bring himself to believe that his sworn brother of many decades would end up as the greatest calamity this time."

"I believe the Great Commander didn’t expose him nor wished to continue covering for him, thus chose this dead-end. "

"If I’m not mistaken, old man, you compromised with him, possibly still considering the bigger picture."

"Yet, he cost you your life, almost cost mine as well and many others’, including many innocent lives."

"Underneath the slaughterhouse, hundreds of lives, not lacking in young and unknowing children. He might not have participated directly, but he certainly was complicit or even protected them."

"To suppress this matter, allowing him to rise smoothly and be praised for ages, I must admit, I couldn’t do it."

"Since yesterday, when I saw the words ’Everlasting Shared Sorrow,’ what came to my mind was what happened underground at the slaughterhouse... "

Lin Yan deeply bowed again, then raised his head, saying, "At that time, the Great Commander wanted to hold off the enemy to let me escape... When you raised your blade, you said a phrase."

His expression serious, he solemnly stated, "Let me take revenge for you!"

His voice fell, and he put the mask back on. Then he called Meng Lu over.

"Colonel Meng, there’s something I need your help with, but the consequences are grave, to put it mildly, you’d lose your job."

"Please command, Master!"

Meng Lu reached into his robe, pulled out Mr. Lu’s Spirit Talisman, and bowed, saying, "Since that night, I owe Master, ten lives!"

His own life was one!

The nine soldiers under his command made up the nine other lives!

——

A moment later.

Lin Yan, the third son of the Lin Family, returned home.

Due to the grand award ceremony, Linjiang Square was quite bustling.

His sister-in-law’s brother, He Zhi, as the chief among the six streets, inevitably had to oblige the local lord’s commands.

And this time, He Zhi had also invited his second sister-in-law to go help out and earn some wages.

The elder brother was still at home weaving baskets, trying to earn some silver taels.

The two children were playing nearby, with the girl named Lin Xiaoyue teaching her brother Lin Xiaonian about the rhyme "Bowing Head Thinking of the Maiden."

"Ah, Flames, how come you’ve returned? Have you finally got some free time from Linjiang Station?"

"Yes, just visiting home," Lin Yan laughed.

"Your sister-in-law went over to Lord Fang’s house to help. I’ll cook myself in a bit, come have a meal," Lin Lei said with a smile as he wiped his hands.

"No need, I need to leave soon and it might be a few days before I return."

Lin Yan went straight into the inner chamber, reached into his bosom, and took out a bundle filled with silver taels, tossing it onto the bed.

He then came out, sat down, and picked up a child with one arm.

At that moment, his elder brother was muttering about how long it had been since the two brothers had a meal together. If it wasn’t urgent, he would immediately cook some delicious dishes, and the two could also drink a little wine.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

"I remember when elder brother was young, always thinking about practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, vocally vowing to overturn all the injustices in the square, to beat those who bullied the market and oppressed the common people into pulp."

"That was so long ago. I don’t even bring up the incidents when you wet the bed anymore, yet you still mention this," the elder brother said, unable to hide his embarrassment and anger.

"It’s not shameful, little pig pees!" The little girl made a face, full of disgust.

"Pee... pee..." The little boy had wet his pants.

"Regarding the incident with the Zhou Family last time, I think elder brother still possesses the spirit of a great hero," Lin Yan remarked.

Lin Yan laughed heartily, flicked the two little ones, and said, "How about I teach you another rhyme?"

"Don’t wanna learn! Don’t wanna learn!" The little girl shook her head repeatedly, like a bobblehead.

"No peeing! No peeing!" The little boy shook the thing in his pants.

"Hahaha!"

Lin Yan laughed heartily, not expecting that at this moment, as a mere transporter of poetry and feelings, to be denied so straightforwardly.

Literary copy failed!

He put down the children and waved to his elder brother, saying, "Elder brother, I’m off to work."

He left the elder brother’s front door.

He walked along the street, moving slowly forward.

After about twenty steps, his emotions fluctuating, he muttered softly and gradually walked into an alley.

"Youthful heroism, forms bonds with heroes of the five cities. Resolve as clear as day, bravery standing tall. In discussions standing firm, sharing life and death, a promise worth a thousand gold!"

At the other end of the alley, a burly man, built like a tower with a rugged face covered in murderous intent, walked out.

"A promise, a thousand gold heavy!"

He clenched the handle of his knife.

A blood-red layer began to extend along the blade.

This knife was instantly two palms wide and a zhang long, completely bathed in blood.

He slung the knife’s back over his shoulder and strode forward, heading straight toward the direction of the awarding ceremony.

"Great Commander, I must avenge this!"

—

Above the awarding ceremony.

Whether it was the main officer of Qifeng Prefecture or the Deputy Commander,

or even the Deputy City Governor of the inner city and the temple priest of the Liu Venerate Temple,

nobody had yet arrived, leaving everyone else extremely anxious, except for Wang Yuan, who sat there, as steady as a mountain.

"It’s time, are we sure we’re not delaying?" someone whispered nearby.

"It’s time, we should begin," Wang Yuan said indifferently, "Their absence in granting me the award is of no concern!"

Today’s so-called important people’s absence in his award ceremony must be due to their underestimation of him.

If he were to not receive the award, today’s underestimation by the important people would cause him to feel humiliated and angry.

But with numerous treasures already in hand, the awarding was merely a formality.

He asked himself, with the aid of the numerous treasures, he could achieve the Qi Refinement Realm. By then, these so-called important people wouldn’t even be qualified to grant him rewards!

He had the confidence, facing the external underestimation with indifference.

This too was the pride of soon breaking through the Refining Essence Realm!

Under Wang Yuan’s orders, a main officer from the Outer South Government Office ascended the high stage and shouted.

"High Willow City, main southern district government office, Colonel Wang Yuan, predicting the enemy’s moves, crushing conspiracies, annihilating evil spirits, with outstanding merit!"

This main officer’s voice was loud and clear, spreading in all directions as he proudly declared: "Today’s awarding ceremony, ought to..."

"Deserves beheading!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind the crowd.

A blood-red blade light leaped a hundred steps into the air, striking directly at Colonel Wang Yuan!
