Chapter 144 Lin Bao, you've grown up.
The man, dressed in brocade robes, raised his head slightly, looked at the woman before him, and said in a calm tone:
"Which branch leader of the Chaotic Gods Cult are you?"
The woman looked at the man in brocade robes who had suddenly appeared, seemed to recognize his identity, and then covered her mouth with a soft laugh, saying:
"It is actually Lord Yanhu who has come in person. I am truly flattered."
Upon seeing this, Fu Lousheng raised his head even higher, the smile on his lips almost impossible to suppress:
"Oh? You've heard of me?"
"I've heard of it. Since Lord Yanhu is here, I won't disturb you any longer. Until we meet again."
As the woman spoke, she suddenly retreated, appearing on the rooftop behind her like a phantom, and then vanished completely from Ding Yi's sight in a flash.
"..."
Ding Yi was taken aback by this sudden scene and couldn't help but look at the man in front of him, who was called Yan Hu.
Only then did Fu Lousheng turn to look at Ding Yi and ask calmly:
"Are you Ding Hai, the one who discovered the Wuji Sect's collusion with the Chaotic Gods Sect?"
"Ah, sir, I am Ding Hai."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi knew that this must be a master of worship in Baihe City, and immediately responded.
"Lin Bao told me everything. You're not bad."
Fu Lousheng looked up at the sky and said in a calm tone.
"What a show-off!"
Ding Yi inwardly grumbled, but outwardly he chuckled and smiled ingratiatingly.
"This place has been taken over by the White River City Surveillance Bureau. You may leave."
After Fu Lousheng finished speaking, he vanished from the spot in a flash.
Ding Yi watched Fu Lousheng's disappearing figure, feeling completely bewildered.
However, the timing of this guy's appearance was quite good, saving me a considerable amount of trouble.
Shaking his head, Ding Yi looked around and then hurried toward the front courtyard of the Wuji Sect.
The closer they got to the front yard, the louder the shouts became.
When Ding Yi arrived, he found a group of uniformed soldiers escorting Wuji Sect disciples out of the gate.
Ding Yi searched through the crowd but did not find Bai Wangyun and Nangong Tian, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked around again and quickly found Lin Bao, who was standing in the center of the courtyard supervising.
"Captain Lin, am I right?"
Ding Yi walked up to Lin Bao and said with a smile.
"Ah, it's Brother Ding. Thank you so much, Brother Ding, for bestowing this fortune upon me. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, I, Lin Bao, will never refuse!"
Lin Bao turned around and saw that it was Ding Yi. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he continued to speak.
"But, were they all caught so easily? Did none of them escape?"
Ding Yi was somewhat puzzled.
"Of course some escaped, and they were all big fish. I'm telling you, our people are keeping an eye on them."
Lin Bao glanced around, then lowered his voice and spoke to Ding Yi.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi immediately understood what Lin Bao and his group were planning, but after a moment's thought, he asked again:
"Who is that Lord Yanhu who came tonight?"
"Ah? You saw Lord Yanhu??"
Lin Bao was startled upon hearing this.
"Just to be on the safe side, I sent someone to report to the Inspectorate when I arrived."
"The Lord Yanhu you mentioned is Fu Lousheng, one of the two deputy directors of the Supervision Department."
"What level of expertise does Director Fu possess?"
“Naturally, it’s the Divine Palace Realm. At our level, we wouldn’t last a single exchange.”
"Moreover, Director Fu heard that he is a genius, only in his early twenties, yet he has already reached the Divine Palace Realm, and his compatibility with the divine statue is very high."
Lin Bao said with a sigh.
"It's a pity for us martial artists. We've trained our whole lives, but all we've got is a blood transfusion."
Ding Yi heard this but didn't say anything. Coincidentally, a constable was walking over here in a hurry.
The officer looked at Ding Yi standing next to Lin Bao and hesitated, clearly knowing that what he was about to say was inappropriate in front of others.
However, Lin Bao didn't care. He waved his hand and said:
"Brother Ding is one of us, don't worry, speak."
Upon hearing this, the constable quickly replied:
“Our men followed the rats and found where they had settled.”
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao's eyes lit up, and he then said to Ding Yi:
"Brother Ding, shall we go take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi seemed to have thought of something, then shook his head and said:
"I found a secret room in the woodshed over there. There are quite a few things inside, but I don't know if they are what you need."
Lin Bao was caught in a dilemma upon hearing this.
But a moment later, he made a decision.
"Brother Ding, I won't say any more tonight. Once this matter is over, I will personally come to thank you!"
After saying this, Lin Bao pulled the constable aside and gave him a few instructions, then hurried off toward the secret room that Ding Yi had mentioned.
After all, a constable had just discovered a fire in the study in the backyard, and found a burned corpse in the fire. Judging from the body shape, it somewhat resembled Song Mingyuan, the leader of the Wuji Sect.
As the leader of the Wuji Sect, the only person who could kill Song Mingyuan silently was probably Fu Lousheng, whom Ding Yi had just mentioned.
The thought that all the treasures and ledgers of the Wuji Sect might be in the secret room made Lin Bao's heart pound with anxiety. He thought to himself that whether he could rise to prominence depended on tonight.
On the other side, Bai Wangyun and Nangong Tian were swiftly traversing the streets. After dodging wave after wave of search teams, they successfully climbed over to an empty courtyard.
Bai Wangyun had prepared this small courtyard in advance to prevent such a situation.
Clearly, experience counts, and Bai Wangyun's arrangements immediately proved effective at the crucial moment.
"Master, what's going on?"
Nangong Tian asked in a panic.
"I don't know either. Logically speaking, the Wuji Sect has strict rules, so it's impossible for the news to have leaked out suddenly."
"Moreover, judging from Elder Hong and the others' appearance, they must have been arrested while carrying out some mission."
Bai Wangyun stroked his beard and slowly analyzed the situation.
"Should we run away?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Tian continued to ask.
“This is not a small place like Qingfeng County. Blood Transformation Grandmasters are nothing here. With my cultivation level, I would definitely be discovered before I even reach the city gate.”
Bai Wangyun shook his head, then sighed.
"Fortunately, I prepared this small courtyard in advance, and hopefully we can get through this difficult time."
...
The next morning, Ding Yi, who was reading "The Method of Returning to the Origin of the Heavenly Aperture" in the courtyard, heard a knock on the door.
Stuffing the books into his clothes, Ding Yi slowly walked towards the courtyard gate and opened the wooden door.
Standing outside the door was Lin Bao.
At this moment, Lin Bao had a smile on his face, completely different from the fierce and menacing look he had shown when he arrived last night.
"Captain Lin, please come in."
Ding Yi chuckled and quickly led Lin Bao into the courtyard.
"Brother Ding, you're too kind. I must thank you again for your help last night."
Lin Bao stepped into the courtyard, laughing as he spoke.
After saying that, Lin Bao reached into his pocket, pulled out a thick stack of silver notes, and stuffed them into Ding Yi's hand.
"Lord Ding, this is what I found in the secret room last night. It's something."
Lin Bao chuckled.
Seeing that Lin Bao seemed to have unlocked his full potential overnight, Ding Yi accepted the gift without hesitation.
Although Liu Xun would send silver notes every month on time, silver is a good thing, and no one would complain about having too much.
"In the secret room, I also found many ledgers with records of the purchase of fine armor, but unfortunately the quantity was not enough, it seems that a large portion was hastily taken away."
Lin Bao looked at Ding Yi as he spoke.
"They must be from the Chaos God Cult. When I found them, I encountered a woman with a bell on her hand."
"This woman is quite formidable. Fortunately, Lord Fu appeared in time, otherwise Captain Lin, you might not have seen me last night."
Ding Yi said with a smile.
"A woman with a bell on her wrist? Could it be Li Wanyun?"
Lin Bao was taken aback.
