Chapter 473: Infiltrating Changyuan City
"When I fought Lin Dongtian, I felt a familiar aura from him. ”
In order to make Zhou Shen believe his words, Lu Chengfeng first took out the high-level honor badge sent by the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect. After proving his identity, he talked about his previous personal participation in the battle of Sanban Street on the coast, and talked about his grievances with the violent search and arrest group until he killed Lin Dongtian yesterday.
Because he had participated in the attack on the headquarters of the Violent Search and Capture Group, Lu Chengfeng was more familiar with the aura of the members of the Violent Search and Capture Group. Yesterday, he personally killed two ninth-order people, and when he discovered the abnormality, he went to the order to report the news.
The whole process is well-founded and convincing......
At the very least, after seeing Lu Chengfeng's high-level honor badge, Zhou Shen's face softened a lot. You must know that ordinary badges of honor, although it is possible to get them through donations and support for the work of the Order, but this kind of high-level badge is already equal to the white-clothed cardinal within the Order in terms of status, and it is not a person believed by the Order, so it will not be easily distributed. This badge alone made Zhou Shen half believe in Lu Chengfeng's words.
As for the experience that Lu Chengfeng said next, as well as the doubts and speculations mentioned, all made Zhou Shen suspicious of the Lin family.
After listening to Lu Chengfeng's words like this for a quarter of an hour, Zhou Shen's eyes were cold, and he decided: "In this way, this Lin family is indeed very suspicious. To dare to collude with cultists like the violent search and arrest group is simply heinous, and it is imperative to purify them all. It's just ......"
After expressing his attitude, when it came to specific actions, Zhou Shen seemed to suddenly hesitate.
Brake Ying knew very well that Zhou Shen was deliberately manipulating, and asked, "It's just what?"
"It's just that the Lin family is the city lord of Changyuan City after all, and they are also appointed by the royal family. Without royal permission, our Order is not allowed to do anything to them. Zhou Shen looked embarrassed and said, "Unless, we can find any conclusive evidence within the Lin family." ”
Lu Chengfeng glanced at Zhou Shen, and his heart was stunned.
To be an important person in charge of a diocese, this eighth-order priest is not a vegetarian. It is certainly his duty to arrest cultists, but he also doesn't want to be stupid to act as Lu Chengfeng and Sha Ying's gun. His attitude undoubtedly illustrates: It's not impossible for me to participate, but you must carry this pot.
Sha Ying obviously thought of this, he exchanged glances with Lu Chengfeng, and said: "The Lin family is related to cultists, and it should be *** not far from ten." Moreover, because I led a team to attack our Shadow Family last night, I was about to take someone to the Lin family to ask for clarification and seek justice. If you don't mind, you can come over and help us testify!"
"That said, I had no choice but to agree. ”
If you go in the name of witness, it has nothing to do with them when you get out of the basket. Seeing this, Zhou Shen was not pretentious, and readily agreed. Moreover, although he was only going to witness, he brought a lot of people. In order to ensure that the cultists that might exist could be caught, just after noon, the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect added two eighth-order and six seventh-order priests in the Tang River Empire's sub-diocese, and the other fifth- and sixth-order middle-level priests even came with as many as forty people!
There are so many masters in just one sub-diocese, and the strong strength of the Apocalypse Sect makes Shadow a little shocked.
The name of the first religion on the mainland is indeed not called in vain.
In any case, with the addition of such a team of masters from the Apocalypse Sect, plus the people from the Shadow Family and Lu Chengfeng, an elite group with a total number of about 100 people boarded a ship at a secret dock outside Wushun City. This fleet of four small boats went upriver when it was getting dark, quietly heading towards the Lin family.
And at this time, it was only one day since Lin Dongtian personally led the team to Wushun!
Considering that the Lin family's masters were all wiped out, the news was then blocked. Even if it is transmitted back to Changyuan City, it will have to be after the day today. The time left for the Lin family to deal with it will not exceed twelve hours. In this case, they shouldn't have imagined that the Shadow Family would dare to counterattack overnight.
That cultist who may be lurking in Changyuan City shouldn't have such a keen sense of smell, so he just leaves?
Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng's heart still rose a little urgently. He couldn't help but urge the captain of the fleet to speed up as much as he could. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shen, who led the clergy to attack, was even more anxious than Lu Chengfeng. If it weren't for the fear of exposure, and they weren't familiar with this place, Zhou Shen would have been eager to fly over directly.
The night darkened imperceptibly.
A large number of cargo ships down the Changyuan River were not affected by the civil strife in Wushun City, and were still going downstream. In such a large fleet, Lu Chengfeng and their four small boats were not conspicuous. The only pity is that the boat is going upstream, which makes the boat really not fast. If this continues, it is likely that the fleet will not arrive in Changyuan City until dawn tomorrow.
"Why don't we go first?"
Zhou Shen couldn't stand this speed, so he stepped out of the cabin and asked Lu Chengfeng's opinion. On the way here, he saw the golden-winged thunder eagle hovering directly above, and he also knew that it was Lu Chengfeng's flying battle pet. Moreover, as a person who can defeat a ninth-order master independently, Zhou Shen will definitely attach special importance to it.
"It's fine. ”
Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, feeling that he and Zhou Shen were two major eighth-order parallels, there should be no danger, so he said: "I'm also worried about long nights and dreams, let's go first." ”
After reaching an agreement in this way, Lu Chengfeng and Zhou Shen each explained their next actions, and then both summoned the flying battle pets and quickly disappeared into the vast night sky.
Lu Chengfeng's Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle, under his full cultivation, had been promoted to the Seventh Order not long ago, and it seemed that he already had a bit of the courage of the Ninth Order Thunder Eagle. Zhou Shen, as the head of the sub-parish of the Heavenly Apocalypse Order, has extraordinary strength, and naturally has some good things on him. His mount is an adult storm griffin, and his strength is also seventh-order.
If you don't consider the bloodline and growth potential, the Storm Griffin's combat power is even a little stronger than Lu Chengfeng's Golden-winged Thunder Eagle now.
Without the drag of the fleet, the speed of the two seventh-order flying battle pets was five times faster. In the whirring night wind, just over an hour later, they followed the water all the way to Changyuan City.
Because it was already late at night, Changyuan City was gloomy, except for the docks and the aristocratic quarter, there were sporadic lights, everything else was already pitch black. In this case, the two of them directly raised their altitude, flew directly into Changyuan City from the air with the help of the cover of the clouds, and then landed near the City Lord's Mansion in Changyuan City.
The mansion of the Lin family in Changyuan City, in the center of the city, occupies an area larger than the courtyard of the Shadow Family.
In the past, this was the core of the entire Abyss City. Even at night, the lights are always on, and there are always samurai patrolling them. But today, there was a flustered and unsettling aura wafting through the entire Lin family's mansion. Needless to say, the high-level officials of the Lin family who knew the truth, even the gossip that went crazy made the servants of the Lin family panic!
The samurai who used to patrol on time also became absent-minded tonight, and several people whispered about the news that spread during the day that was not favorable to the Lin family.
In this case, the vigilance of the Lin family can be imagined.
Lu Chengfeng and Zhou Shen, who fell outside the City Lord's Mansion, after some temptation, found that the Lin family was really flustered as expected, and they couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts. With their strength far beyond the ordinary Eighth Order, it was not too easy to infiltrate the Lin family. Under the cover of darkness, the two of them easily climbed over the courtyard wall, dodged a few secret sentinels with only fourth-order strength, and easily slipped into the backyard of the Lin family.
With the information provided by the shadow, although it was the first time to come, Lu Chengfeng and Zhou Shen could still find the way accurately.
After spending a little more time, the two of them gathered their breath and came to the temporary residence of the high-level of the Lin family. After groping along the way, they noticed that the few surviving clan elders of the Lin family were having a meeting with Lin Powu in the family chamber. Because it was heavily guarded, the two did not rush in, but temporarily retreated and investigated the other rooms.
It's just that there are more than 100 large and small rooms in the Lin Family's City Lord's Mansion. If you add in the courtyard, the garden, and even the secret room, it would be too time-consuming to search them all. After discussing a few words in a low voice, Lu Chengfeng decided that it was better to catch someone steadily.
For both of them, this is also not a difficult task.
The heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion was no different from an ordinary garden in front of the two of them. After a casual stroll, Lu Chengfeng found a supervisor who was patrolling at night.
Judging from his breath, his strength is about the sixth order, and he should be regarded as a person with a little power in the Lin family.
"I'll do it anyway. ”
Zhou Shen was obviously very confident in himself, and after quietly chasing after him, a divine shock directly knocked the sixth-order supervisor unconscious. Then, he grabbed the man, and in a flash his figure disappeared into the darkness. Even if he was unable to move in plate armor, his agile skills still surprised Lu Chengfeng a little.
This guy really has some strength.
Whatever you say, it's much easier to get something out of a target's mouth once you've caught it. Especially after learning that one of the two people who arrested him represented the Shadow Family and the other was from the Apocalypse Sect, this little director had no intention of resisting at all.
Just kidding, that's the Apocalypse Order!
Even if it was the ten Lin families, they were not the opponents of the Apocalypse Sect together. Although it is not clear why such a behemoth also found the Lin family, the little supervisor knows that once today is over, the Lin family is finished. Therefore, he simply confessed everything he knew.
"Are you saying that more than half a year ago, there were three mysterious guests from the Lin family?" Hearing the news, Zhou Shen's spirits couldn't help but lift. The little supervisor nodded and said, "They are all wearing cloaks, they can't see their faces, and they came in a carriage. He was accompanied by a few local retinues. After a few days of staying here, the carriage followed and left. However, because of chance, I learned that only two of them went in the carriage, and one remained in the clan, and he practiced in retreat in the forbidden place in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion on weekdays. ”
