CHAPTER 2354: CHAPTER 2354: WILL IT BACKFIRE?

"I wonder which revered figure it is. Even the Commander’s Office couldn’t catch the culprit, yet they managed to eliminate them. If such a person could stay in our Sky City permanently, it would be wonderful!"

Someone sighed, someone praised, they seemed ready to worship the so-called revered figure.

"Also, Commander Lin is incredible. That mangled corpse—how long has it been? Not even a few hours, and they’ve already figured out the killer’s identity from the corpse."

"With Commander Lin in Sky City, we truly have nothing to worry about."

The people moved from praising the revered figure to praising Lin Baizhong’s Commander’s Office. Anyway, the information Lu Tianfeng wanted wasn’t there at all.

The civilians were on the verge of celebrating all night, rejoicing that the five murderers had either died or been caught and wouldn’t cause further harm to the city’s residents.

But while everyone was overjoyed, one man was seething with murderous rage.

That man was Lu Tianfeng.

Already furious over An Shen and An Meng, now his own orders meant to disrupt Sky City had been a total failure!

How could he not be enraged?

"Didn’t I tell you to make the corpse more terrifying?"

It was already the second time he used the Hundred Motion Spirit Bone, only to hear so much negative talk about himself and so much positive about the Commander’s Office. He was beside himself with rage!

"Master, your subordinate did make Three’s corpse very... very terrifying." The guard was helpless.

Terrifying? The corpse was already disemboweled, the stomach sliced open, the face completely torn apart, making it unrecognizable.

How was he supposed to know that the people at the Commander’s Office had the skill to turn even such a corpse into a story, convincing everyone it represented divine justice and undeniable retribution?

If he’d known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have...

But then again, saying he wouldn’t have done it was meaningless. It was the master’s command; how could he not comply?

And now, they had inadvertently boosted the reputation of the Commander’s Office instead!

"Master, in your subordinate’s view, it’s all Lin Nian’s doing. He likely deliberately circulated the news that the corpse belonged to Three, or maybe he didn’t even know it was Three’s corpse and simply spread the rumor to flaunt his abilities."

"Is that so?"

Lu Tianfeng glared coldly at the guard.

Sometimes, he truly wondered if Lin Baizhong had already figured things out.

Otherwise, why did Lin Baizhong always seem to disrupt his plans, no matter what he intended to do?

Now, his efforts to gain access to the Vast Sea Forest were at a standstill, and even using a single corpse to create fear among the city residents had completely failed!

"Since you say he knows nothing, then make another Three appear. Have him wander the streets, and while you’re at it, kill a few people for fun." He ordered sinisterly.

"This... Yes, Master. As you command."

The guard wanted to ask if this would bring calamity upon them.

But then he thought about it: when had the master ever abandoned his plans just because they tried to voice concerns?

There hadn’t been trouble before, so this time, surely no one would find out either.

"Wait."

Seeing the guard preparing to leave, Lu Tianfeng called him back.

"Master, do you have any additional orders?" The guard turned back to ask.

"The alchemist you mentioned last time—is he still at that inn?" Lu Tianfeng inquired.
