Chapter 126: Chapter 102 The Young Venerate Falls into Peril!

"You..."

Zhao Jing was pinned against the wall.

His head, in the massive palm, was the size of an apple, tightly gripped.

In an instant, he reacted.

This burly man, about ten feet tall, was Wu Chang from Linjiang Station, the Flag Commander who had slain the city commander Wang Yuan and escaped from the Qi Refining Realm of the Left City Guard Army in High Willow City.

"I help you shatter High Willow City, so you can rise to power and oppress those commoners beneath you?"

Lin Yan spoke icily, slowly saying, "You’re dissatisfied with the higher-ups of High Willow City, so you want to destroy it and kill everyone?"

He pressed Zhao Jing’s head against the wall.

The wall suddenly collapsed.

Zhao Jing felt a sudden intense pain, and his vision darkened.

Then he heard the burly man’s voice again.

"That night you replaced the lamp oil, remember how many people died in Linjiang Square?"

Before Zhao Jing could respond, Lin Yan directly tore off the tree roots that had grown from his lower body, along with the flesh that had fused and grown, ripping them apart forcefully.

Zhao Jing screamed in agony, struggling continuously.

The roots were pulled out one by one, the flesh and blood continuously falling, blood dripping everywhere.

"Odd that you still know pain? There’s a patrol officer named Zhou Ji, who was eaten alive, emptying even his internal organs. You probably don’t know him!"

Lin Yan grabbed his head, brought it close, and looking into his eyes, he said sternly, "You might remember stepping on an ant, but these commoners, working day and night just for a meal, you don’t even see them; they are less than ants to you!"

Upon these words, Lin Yan pressed down on Zhao Jing’s struggling arm and with a crack, snapped it sharply!

Zhao Jing trembled all over, his eyes now filled with a plea for mercy.

"I thought all Tribulation Ash people were fearless in the face of death, turns out not all are..."

Lin Yan sighed, "Under the slaughterhouse, how many innocent people, how many young children were your doing! When they begged for mercy before dying, did you let anyone go?"

"You hate people like Liu Yi who are born into power because you couldn’t become Liu Yi!"

"You look down on Great Commander Zhao Zhou, because under his command, you could only obey orders and not give them!"

"You even look down upon this envoy, but what are you, who only thinks about destroying cities and killing innocents recklessly?"

Lin Yan’s tone was icy cold; he had intended to spare Zhao Jing’s life for an interrogation.

But recalling the City Defense Army that died that night and the bloody scene under the slaughterhouse.

Great Commander Zhao Zhou, also marked for sacrifice, and Lin Yan himself, the third son of the Lin Family.

Even on that night, if Linjiang Square had completely fallen, his older brother and sister-in-law, niece and nephew, would have died in the darkness too.

His rage surged, and without waiting for Zhao Jing to speak, he clenched his hand and crushed his head directly.

Although powerful, beyond the level of half-human half-demon, he was like an ant before Lin Yan at this moment.

Bang!

Lin Yan casually tossed Zhao Jing’s torn half body against the wall, collapsing it, burying him underneath.

Evil Qi increased by twenty-three strands!

Now he truly was dead!

Zhao Jing could here serve as bait to attract General Pei and Wu Chang the Flag Commander, to firm up positions for large crossbows, showing that Zhao Jing’s significance was not considered high.

In this Jinliu Manor, there are others more worthy to be captured alive, to coax more information from!

"Where is the manor owner?"

Lin Yan looked up.

The hilltop’s heavy crossbows had ceased all movements.

Immediately, smoke lit up, signaling from the Observatory.

General Pei had succeeded.

Now, the entire Jinliu Manor, apart from the "garrison commander" who was probably lured away, had no other Refining Essence Realm figures.

Even with the Demon Transformation Technique, they were no match for the real Refining Essence Realm, General Pei.

Without the threat of the heavy crossbows, these Tribulation Ash demons from Jinliu Manor could not stir up any trouble.

Then Lin Yan didn’t stay idle; he took up his sword, circled around Jinliu Manor, slaying evils, and gathered General Pei’s subordinates.

In Jinliu Manor now, with Tribulation Ash appearing and its Manor Lord clearly not in order, the evils had also invaded during the night.

The incense burner responsible for serving Venerate Small had significant issues as well!

The entire Jinliu Manor, whether the soldiers stationed there or those from the City Guard Mansion, were no longer completely trustworthy.

"The two of you brothers have been attacked, General Pei handled the heavy crossbows on the mountain, now only the four of you remain, do not split up, watch out for each other!"

"Understood, just... the earlier commotion has already alerted the villagers inside the manor," said a young man named Xiao Zhan, speaking softly. "If the evils continue to invade, the original stationed forces can’t be trusted... what about the villagers?"

"It’s likely that the enemy has hidden among the villagers, you four are unfamiliar faces, even if you call on the villagers, firstly, they won’t trust you, secondly, you will be susceptible to enemy ambush."

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said gravely, "Better than enlisting, drive them... take off your banner uniforms, hide among the crowd, and look after yourselves!"

"I’m going to set a fire in the east, the fire won’t be large, but you need to stir up the villagers to head southwest to avoid disaster."

"As for now, Venerate Small seems compromised, east and north side are both attacked by evils, only southwest seems safe under Venerate Small’s lingering influence!"

He thought for a while, pulled out the Bright Night Divine Lamp made from Venerate Liu’s materials, and said, "Hang this lantern on the highest building in the southwestern part of the manor!"
