A Useful Name
Heaven knows how shocked Lin Feiyang and his two companions were at the time!
They hadn't gone to Taibai Market with Lin Jin and the other two, and had no idea that their brother-in-law's reputation was so useful!
That Foundation Establishment Realm Bandit Cultivator robbed quite a few people during that time, so you can imagine how wealthy he was. Although it wasn't as much as the resources his brother-in-law casually gave to the Lin Household during the New Year, it was still a huge sum of money for three cultivators who were only at the Late Qi Refining!
Even if they saved for a lifetime, they might not be able to accumulate this much wealth!
That's why the three of them had a new idea.
Since his brother-in-law's name is so useful, why not use it to become a cultivator through Bandit Cultivator?
Wow, these resources came so fast!
Since the ancestors were biased and left resources to those three fools who were even worse than them, what's wrong with them finding their own way to earn resources?
Although the three of them were initially worried that using their brother-in-law's name might cause some problems?
However, the sudden windfall completely filled the minds of the three of them with the abundance of resources, and they only worried for a short while before putting it aside.
As long as they don't go too far, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Therefore, after a brief discussion, Lin Feiyang and the other two decided to go and become Bandit Cultivators together!
As it turns out, their brother-in-law title was more effective than they had imagined.
They didn't recklessly target Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators; they only went after the Qi Refining Realm cultivators. Moreover, they didn't kill anyone, to avoid escalating the situation beyond control. They simply took the goods and left.
Among the robbed cultivators, there were quite a few with powerful backgrounds; some had even been approached by the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Upon hearing the brother-in-law's name, the victim was immediately embarrassed. Instead of taking back what they had stolen, the brother-in-law even gave them additional resources.
Having tasted success, the three became even more unscrupulous, even recruiting several other cultivators who were also at the Qi Refining Realm as their subordinates, displaying an attitude of ruling their territory like kings.
Of course, they also knew that this matter could not be known to their ancestors. Otherwise, if word got back to their brother-in-law that they had used his name, they weren't sure if he would kill them.
Of course, they were certain that even if their brother-in-law didn't kill them, their cousin Lin Ying would, and even if Lin Ying didn't, their ancestor wouldn't let them off the hook.
Therefore, each time they robbed someone, they left them some leeway, while warning them not to tell anyone about it.
In addition, since they didn't commit robberies particularly frequently or with excessive audacity, the news was generally kept under wraps.
However, as their loot from robberies increased, Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi became increasingly arrogant. The people they recruited were themselves Bandit Cultivator. Seeing the extraordinary backgrounds of Lin Feiyang and his companions, they even began to kill cultivators.
Although Lin Feiyang and the other two felt that this was wrong, they also felt that it was no big deal.
Anyway, no one dares to say anything bad about them.
Until yesterday, Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi discovered that Lin Yi was missing. Feeling somewhat uneasy, they immediately led their subordinates away from their original base camp and came to this cave abode.
They had just found this cave abode. As long as they hid here for a while and refrained from robbing, they should be fine.
Just as Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi were comforting themselves, suddenly, a flame ignited out of thin air inside the cave abode.
As the golden flames flickered, a woman dressed in gray with an ordinary face stepped out.
The moment they saw the woman emerge, Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi trembled, their eyes widening with fear.
This is...
Senior Wang Liu?!
During the Chinese New Year, Wang Liu followed Lin Ying as her bodyguard and stayed at the Lin Household for a while. Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi naturally knew her.
They never expected Wang Liu to appear here!
Wait a minute... Wang Liu is here... Doesn't that mean my cousin Lin Ying is here too?!
After all, Wang Liu was his cousin's protector, so there was no reason for him to appear alone in the Taibai Mountain Range area.
Are they here to arrest them?!
Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi both felt a chill run through their bodies.
However, the other Bandit Cultivators were unaware of Wang Liu's identity. When they saw Wang Liu emerge from the flames, all five of them were taken aback and startled.
How can one emerge from flames? What kind of Law Technique or method is that?
Could this be... a Golden Core Realm True Person coming for revenge?
When they were robbing people, they were very selective in avoiding Lineage with the Golden Core Realm cultivators, weren't they?
Why would a Golden Core Realm True Person come to rob us?
If they were to rely solely on themselves, they would naturally have no way to escape from the Golden Core Realm True Person.
Fortunately, they have connections!
The pretty female cultivator took a deep breath and secretly glanced at Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi beside her. Seeing that the two were sitting still without any reaction or standing up to say anything, she felt relieved.
Since both of them are so calm, this True Person will probably let them go out of respect for their brother-in-law.
Thinking of this, the female cultivator stood up, smiled, and cupped her hands in greeting, her tone becoming more confident as she said, "What business does this senior have with us? Senior should know these two, right? Their cousin is Lin Ying, and her husband is that Lord Lu..."
Before she could finish speaking, golden flames erupted from her body.
Her face contorted in extreme pain. She opened her mouth as if to scream, but in less than a breath, she lost all life, her body carbonized, and then turned to ashes and dissipated into the air.
The air fell silent. The other four Bandit Cultivators, looking at the female cultivator who had turned to ashes, felt their bodies go limp and their whole bodies grow cold.
This... this person actually doesn't give that Young Master Lu any face?!
Just then, they saw Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi jump up as if they had been burned, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads, and they bowed with their hands clasped in greeting.
Lin Feiyang's voice trembled as he stammered, "Greetings... Greetings, Senior Wang Liu... Why... why are you here?"
Lin Qi quickly replied, "Greetings, Senior Wang Liu!"
The other four Bandit Cultivators still looked bewildered, unable to comprehend what had happened.
Wang Liu glanced at the two of them but did not answer. Her expression remained as indifferent as ever. She turned to look at the four Bandit Cultivators. Without her making any move, golden flames ignited on the four Bandit Cultivators. In less than a breath, before they even had a chance to scream, they were engulfed by the flames and turned to ashes.
Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi swallowed hard, their hearts filled with fear, and dared not utter a word.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Wang Liu imprisoned Lin Feiyang and Lin Qi. They were uncontrollably lifted into the air and, together with Wang Liu, were engulfed by golden flames.
