"Yuanyang Beast Sect!?"

Hearing this name, Lin Sheng was stunned.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he heard this name. It sounded like a sect, and he only knew a little bit about the forces in Lin'an and Tongzhi counties.

Apart from this, he knew very little about other forces outside.

"What? Don't tell me, you don't know Yuanyang Beast Sect??"

As if seeing Lin Sheng's doubts, Yellow Dog's eyes widened and he spoke in surprise.

"Never heard of it."

Lin Sheng shook his head slightly and answered truthfully.

"Okay, it seems you really don't know. Yuanyang Beast Sect is not a simple person. It is one of the three major forces in Linjiang Prefecture. It is famous for being good at cultivating and controlling all kinds of tyrannical Strange Beast."

Seeing this, Yellow Dog shook his head helplessly and explained.

"This Yuanyang Beast Sect can control many powerful Spirit Beasts. His sect's background is that Demon Beast is in charge. It is even rumored that he has the ability to cultivate Demon Beast."

"Demon Beast!!"

Hearing Yellow Dog's words, Lin Sheng's face showed a look of shock.

He didn't expect that this so-called Yuanyang Beast Sect was so powerful. It could not only tame Spirit Beast, but also cultivate a terrifying existence like Demon Beast.

From the strength of Phantom Demon Beast, we can see how terrifying Strange Beast is at the level of Demon Beast.

It can be seen from this that Yuanyang Beast Sect is indeed the three major forces of Linjiang Prefecture.

But soon, he realized that if Guo Feng was really related to the Yuanyang Beast Sect, wouldn't it mean that things would become more troublesome.

Thinking of this, he asked Yellow Dog.

"Then what is the relationship between this county magistrate Eldest Young Master and this Yuanyang Beast Sect?"

"It does seem that there is some relationship, but the relationship is not that big. Of course, if you want to know more, then..."

Here Huang Quan did not continue talking, but stretched out his palm and gently twisted it, the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing this Lin Sheng took out a Zhang San hundred taels of treasure banknotes from his arms.

"It's only three hundred taels, why should it be five hundred taels, right?"

Yellow Dog frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter much. Do you know that it's not necessary?"

Lin Sheng pretended to put the treasure money back into his arms.

"Hey, wait three hundred taels, it's three hundred taels... Why are you in a hurry?" Seeing this scene, Yellow Dog said quickly, and stood up directly, grabbing the treasure note from Lin Sheng's hand.

"Then tell me, what does it have to do with it?"

"Ahem, well, the Guo family's Eldest Young Master is usually well hidden. It's not that easy to find out something from it. That is to say, when I heard this rumor, I was a little curious, so I investigated it myself, and then I discovered something. If it were someone else, I wouldn't know what it was about."

Yellow Dog coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then spoke slowly.

But when he saw that Lin Sheng didn't have any reaction other than looking at him, he couldn't stop talking and continued.

"This Guo Feng is the disciple who rescued Yuanyang Beast Sect by chance a few years ago. It is not appropriate to call him a disciple. It should be more accurate to describe him as an abandoned disciple. Apart from that, there is no other relationship."

"So there is no need to worry about the Yuanyang Beast Sect. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Guo Feng got some benefits from the abandoned disciple of the Beast Sect."

"So that's it, I understand."

Lin Sheng nodded, not feeling worried at all.

No matter what Eldest Young Master the county magistrate's family has, what can he do as long as he leaves Tongzhi.

"Meet at No. 56 Changping Street in a moment. This is the deposit. After successfully delivering the person to Linjiang Prefecture, I will pay the remaining half."

Lin Sheng took out a few treasure bills from his arms and put them on the table, turned around and left.

Yellow Dog picked up the treasure and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he showed a satisfied expression.

"Yes, I have money coming in again. I'm tired of reading those books in the cabinet. It's time to change to something I like to read when I get back..."

After Lin Sheng left Tongming Academy, he returned home directly. After telling old Zhou He Wang Dehai to prepare the carriage, he went to talk to Lin Hong and Xie Guilan.

Although the two of them were a little surprised by Lin Sheng's sudden decision to move, they had no objections.

Now they have understood that their son has grown up, and they must have their own considerations for doing this suddenly.

So Xie Guilan went to pack things quickly, while Lin Hong patted Lin Sheng on the shoulder and said slowly.

"A Sheng, Dad knows that you have grown up, but you have to promise me that you will never put yourself in danger at any time."

"I understand, don't worry, Dad."

Lin Sheng said in relief with a smile on his face.

Not long after, several people had packed up, and old Zhou He Wang Dehai had already parked in front of the courtyard gate, each driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Since being rescued by Lin Sheng in the dungeon, Wang Dehai has not left. He even took the initiative to find Lin Sheng and expressed that he would follow him. For this, Lin Sheng did not refuse. After all, Fatty Wang has been a warrior who has been in the realm of Body Tempering for many years.

He still has some skills in his hands, and he is well-rounded and can cook well.

In addition, there is some degree of friendship between the two of them, so it's okay to stay.

Let two people bring Lin Hong, Xie Guilan and Xiao Shi.

"Go to No. 56 Changping Street."

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Sheng reported the location, and the two immediately drove the carriage away.

Soon they arrived at the target location, and a rickety figure was waiting there. His face and figure didn't look like Yellow Dog.

Although Yellow Dog also looks like an old man, his figure is quite strong and strong, far beyond the skinny and wizened old man in front of him.

He seemed to have noticed the arrival of the carriage. The wizened old man stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Yellow Dog?"

Seeing the old man approaching, Lin Sheng spoke softly.

Woof woof woof!!

Da Huang, who was following the carriage, bared his teeth and started barking after seeing the old man.

"That's right, it's me. When you go out, you have to change your clothes and appearance. Otherwise, what if you get into trouble?"

Huang Quan responded angrily and sat down on the carriage.

His slightly cloudy eyes rolled around and landed on Da Huang beside the carriage. He blinked and said.

"This mixed-haired wild dog looks pretty good. It seems to be quite destined for me. If you don't want to give it away to me, I can charge less for the escort this time."

Lin Sheng glanced at Yellow Dog in surprise, then shook his head slightly.

"No, I've raised this yellow dog since I was a child and I won't give it away."

"Really, that's a pity. Do you want to think about it again? I want five hundred taels less."

Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Yellow Dog seemed a little reluctant and said again.

But Lin Sheng still shook his head and refused.

At this time, Da Huang next to the carriage was all hairy. As if he understood what Yellow Dog said, his teeth gritted and screamed became more and more intense.

"Quiet, Da Huang." Lin Sheng frowned and shouted Da Huang, then stopped with his tail between his legs, but looked at Yellow Dog with an unkind look.

Then he ran to the carriage behind with his tail between his legs.

"What a lively little thing."

Yellow Dog, on the other hand, became more and more interested in Da Huang, but because of Lin Sheng's firm tone, he didn't say anything else.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Sheng turned to look at the flow of people behind the long street, and then spoke to urge.

Yellow Dog also glanced behind him as if aware, and then warned Lin Sheng.

"Okay, let's go now, but you must remember to pay the other half of what you promised me."

"Don't worry."

Lin Sheng spoke lightly.

Soon, the two carriages rushed towards the city gate.

Lin Sheng watched the carriage go away, then looked away, turned and walked towards the other side of the long street.

"If the target wants to leave, go and notify Eldest Young Master immediately. In addition, go and notify the city gate to lock down the carriage."

In the flow of people on the other side of the long street, several figures were chatting in low voices, but their eyes fell on the carriage and Lin Sheng that were going away.

"Okay, I'll go right away. The target seems to be coming towards us."

Several figures were about to take action when they discovered that Lin Sheng was walking through the crowd and walking quickly in their direction.

"What's going on? Has the target discovered us?"

Several people looked at each other and exchanged opinions.

"Now that he's here, let's deal with him first and take him to Eldest Young Master."

"Okay!"

After a brief exchange between the two, they quickly reached a consensus and walked towards the long street without retreating but advancing.

In their opinion, the target person is not very old, and no matter how strong his cultivation level is, he will not be that strong.

They are all good at the early stage of muscle forging and have rich experience in actual combat. Even if they are facing the masters of late Muscle Forging, they can win them with their cooperation.

Before being sent to monitor the target, the reason why he had kept his troops stationary was to find out if there were any masters behind him. Unexpectedly, the other party actually came to the door, so naturally he no longer had to worry about this.

First capture the man in front of you, and then gather people to surround the two carriages. Even if there are any masters hidden, they will definitely not be able to escape.

Among the crowd, several people spread out to surround Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng turned a blind eye to this and just strolled along the long street, as if he was not aware of the malicious intentions of these people at all.

Soon several people came within ten meters of Lin Sheng. The three of them quietly took out weapons from their long sleeves. Some were daggers about a foot long, some were black iron nails, and some even pulled out a few darts from their hands.

The distance got closer and closer. The figure holding a dagger under his long sleeves was the first to approach Lin Sheng. Facing the target with his back turned, a sarcastic sneer appeared on the man's face.

The dagger poked out from his long sleeve and was about to stab Lin Sheng in the lower back.

But the next moment, he was surprised to find that he couldn't move at all. At some point, a big hand had pinched his wrist, and it was pinching his wrist like it was made of iron.

Sensing something was wrong, the man was about to say something when he felt a pain in his chest.

He looked down in confusion, only to see the hand holding his wrist, and the dagger in his hand had been thrust into his chest.

A feeling of powerlessness surged through his body. He wanted to open his mouth, but a trace of blood flowed from his lips, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Lin Sheng was holding the man between his arms when a cart full of dry firewood stopped beside him and he leaned his body against the pile of dry firewood.

Then, without looking back, Lin Sheng grasped the iron nail that was driven into his back with his backhand, then raised it up and slit his neck open in the astonished eyes of the people behind him.

Hugging the person behind him, Lin Sheng reached out with his other hand, pinched a few darts that were shot towards his face, and shot them back with a flip of his wrist.

A low and suppressed cry of pain came from three meters away, but it was inconspicuous in this noisy market.

At the moment when the other party was about to fall over, Lin Sheng had already pinched his chest, hugged the two of them on the left and right, and placed them next to the cart piled with dry firewood. Lin Sheng turned and left without looking back.

Not long after, wisps of blood gathered under the carriage and spread outward. Finally, someone noticed this unusual scene. Screams rang out from the market, and the long street immediately became chaotic.

But at this time, Lin Sheng was already gone.

But the direction of leaving was not the city gate, but quite the opposite, heading towards the Inner City area.

The reason why he did not choose to leave with the carriage was to attract attention.

With that Guo Feng's identity, in this Tongzhi County city, his hands and eyes are no different.

Now that he has been targeted by the other party, it may not be easy to leave. He himself can say that it is okay, but ordinary people and injured people like Lin Hong, Xie Guilan, and Xiao Shi will undoubtedly find it extremely difficult to leave safely.

So he had to divert his attention, and naturally he had to do it.

Originally, according to his plan, he took Xie Guilan and others out of the city first. The worst result was that the city gate was already controlled and he had to force his way out.

He alone is not enough, someone needs to escort Xie Guilan and others away.

That's why he went to the Tongming Academy to find Yellow Dog, hoping to hire a few experts in the Muscle Forging realm world like Jia Qi.

Unexpectedly, Yellow Dog was willing to take action on his own, which saved him a lot of trouble and did not have to force his way into the city gate.

As long as he makes enough noise in the city, Guo Feng will naturally focus most of his attention on himself.

Of course, in order to achieve the goal, the direction Lin Sheng is heading now is not to the side, but to where Guo Feng is.

He moved quickly, and his figure kept walking through the city, and soon he came to a high-rise attic building in Inner City.

Tian Yuan Pavilion.

This is Guo Feng's largest property in the city, and he spends most of his time in the courtyard behind it.

At this time, Lin Sheng already had a grimace mask on his cheek.

Without hesitation, he walked straight towards the luxuriously decorated building in front of him.

"Stop, who dares to walk in here? Maybe you have had enough of life, so get away quickly."

There were two tall men in front of the building. When they noticed Lin Sheng, they immediately yelled and their palms were already touching the handle of the knife hanging on their waist.

He had the intention of taking another step forward and drawing the knife.

"I'm looking for Guo Eldest Young Master, please let me know."

Lin Sheng kept walking and said lightly to the two of them.

"Idiot, is it possible for you to meet Mr. Guo whenever you want?"

After hearing Lin Sheng's words, the two strong men immediately frowned and scolded them.

"Oh, then he's here, good."

Lin Sheng had a smile on his face, and without waiting for the two strong men to draw out their steel knives, he stepped forward and knocked them out hard, knocking them into the attic behind them.
