Yang Longxian gritted his teeth, finally forcing down the rage in his heart.
Lin Yi had just killed his second brother and exchanged several moves with him without falling behind. Clearly, he was among the best of the two-star martial artists.
Now, Tianshui Merchants had only one two-star martial artist left—him. If they truly formed a deadly feud with Ancient Pool Village, it would clearly be detrimental to Tianshui Merchants' development.
Besides, he had a premonition.
If he revealed even the slightest hint of resentment or killing intent, Lin Yi might dare to kill him before everyone today.
"Deputy Village Chief Lin, rest assured. This matter ends here!"
After saying that, Yang Longxian wanted to collect his second brother's corpse, but Lin Yi stopped him. "Wait, President. I still have spoils of war to collect."
Lin Yi tore the shattered chainmail spirit armor from Yang Fengjiao's body, then picked up Yang Fengjiao's Black Tiger Profound Blade.
Yang Longxian's eyelids twitched as he said in a low voice, "Deputy Village Chief Lin, those belong to Tianshui Merchants."
He did not care about the damaged chainmail armor, but his second brother's Black Tiger Profound Blade was a Martial Dao Spirit Artifact. Even he only possessed one such item.
Throughout all of Tianshui City, Professional-grade spirit artifacts like this were exceedingly rare. There were probably fewer than ten in total.
Back then, in order to refine the Black Tiger Profound Blade, they had spent vast sums of money and resources, then pleaded at the artifact-refining holy land, Kongming Mountain, for half a month before obtaining it.
But Lin Yi ignored him.
With a swipe through empty air, Lin Yi stored the items inside his mirror space.
"Heh, all I see are items left behind by criminals. What, President? Do you have an objection?"
