CHAPTER 2157: CHAPTER 2156

Lin Dong killed Gong Fan with one palm, then turned to look at Wu Yue.

Seeing Wu Yue’s body trembling all over, it was evident that the scene just now had scared her.

After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl who had experienced such a dramatic family upheaval and now witnessed such a bloody scene. How could she not be afraid?

Lin Dong picked her up from the ground and comforted her, "Xiao Yue, I’m sorry, Brother Lin Dong came late."

Wu Yue, with reddened eyes, said, "Brother Lin Dong, can you teach me the Martial Way? I want to cultivate martial arts."

"Why do you want to cultivate martial arts? For revenge?" Lin Dong asked, "If it’s for revenge, Brother Lin Dong will take care of it. Those who killed the Wu family, and the people behind them, Brother Lin Dong will not spare a single one."

Wu Yue shook her head and said, "It’s not for revenge, it’s to become stronger, so that in the future, if anyone wants to harm the people I care about, I won’t be hiding in this dark basement. Instead, I can stand at the forefront."

Lin Dong patted Wu Yue on the head and sighed. Although she possessed the Yin Vein Physique, this constitution needs to absorb Yin souls and Yin energy to enhance strength.

Lin Dong had never thought of letting her cultivate martial arts before, worried about her being affected by negative things.

Because by absorbing those Yin souls and Yin energy for cultivation, it’s easy to produce negative things within the inner heart.

But at this moment, hearing Wu Yue’s words, Lin Dong felt that if the heart is truly kind, even if the cultivation method is evil, they would not fall into the evil way.

The cultivation method itself does not distinguish between good and bad, it depends on the person cultivating it.

Weapons similarly do not differentiate between good and bad, it depends on the person using them.

"Brother Lin Dong, can you teach me to cultivate martial arts?" Wu Yue asked again.

Lin Dong nodded, then said, "Okay, from now on, you are my disciple."

"Disciple pays respects to Master!" Wu Yue promptly bowed to Lin Dong.

This was Lin Dong’s true martial discipline!

Not comparable to those registered disciples.

"Xiao Yue, your body constitution is very special, it’s Yin Vein Physique. Having this constitution has benefits as well as drawbacks." Lin Dong looked at Wu Yue and spoke.

Wu Yue naturally didn’t understand these, and asked, "Master, what are the benefits?"

"The benefit is that having this physique, you can cultivate by absorbing Yin energy, Yin souls, and such evil things. In the Age of Dharma End, this cultivation method would be faster than normal martial artists. Moreover, the upper limit would be higher." Lin Dong answered.

"And what about the drawbacks?" Wu Yue asked again.

"The drawback is that this cultivation method easily leads to deviate into evil territory, making one prone to be influenced by evil, eventually becoming bloodthirsty." Lin Dong said.

"If you turn into someone like Gong Fan who indiscriminately kills innocents, even children, would you still choose to continue cultivating?"

Wu Yue thought for a moment and then said to Lin Dong, "Master, I can’t guarantee whether I’ll turn into the kind of person you’re talking about."

"That type of person is the one I hate the most. But the Teacher once said that many people become the person they hate the most, so I can’t guarantee whether I’ll be the kind of person I hate the most."

"If there really comes a day like that, then I ask Master to kill me!"

"As for whether to cultivate martial arts, my choice is still to do it!"

"Okay." Seeing Wu Yue’s resolve, Lin Dong said no more.

He now truly accepted this disciple.

At this moment, Nangong Hong walked in and bowed to Lin Dong, "Master, in the Wu Ming family, other than Miss Wu Yue, not a single one was left alive. Even the cats and dogs, those pets in the mansion, none were spared."

Hearing these words, Lin Dong felt as if his heart was twisted.

Wu Yue couldn’t help but shed tears as well.

"Sister Hong, you should give Wu Ming and the others a proper burial. I will seek revenge for them..." Lin Dong temporarily entrusted Wu Yue to Nangong Hong, then stepped out of the secret chamber.

He wanted to thoroughly annihilate anyone Lin Tiance had sent to Demon City!

And the traitors, not a one shall remain.

...

The Capital City.

Inside Lin Tiance’s villa, after issuing a bounty task in the Temple of the God of Murder, he waited for news from Demon City.

He originally expected to receive positive news soon, but instead, bad news kept coming.

"Young Master Lin, there was an accident on Sato Akito’s side. He had initially captured Nangong Hong, but when he went to extinguish remnants of the Black Dragon Society, an unexpected incident occurred."

"A mysterious person emerged in Demon City. Not only did he kill Sato Akito, but he also killed the Earth Realm martial artists Lin family sent to assist him."

"The plan to capture Nangong Hong alive also failed."

"What?" Upon hearing this report, Lin Tiance was furious, "Who dares to kill Sato Akito and my Lin family’s people?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "We still don’t know the identity of the other party."

Lin Tiance said in a deep voice, "No matter who they are, anyone daring to kill my people must die."

It wasn’t long before another subordinate arrived to report.

"Young Master Lin, it’s bad, Lord Blood Monk and Yevgeny Mele have met with accidents."

Lin Tiance’s face slightly changed and he asked, "What happened?"

"Lord Blood Monk is dead, Yevgeny Mele is also dead, and the Earth Realm martial artists from the Lin family who went with them to deal with the Ye family, all are dead." That subordinate quickly reported.

"How is it possible? With their strength, eliminating a Ye Family should be easy. How could they meet their end at the Ye family?" Lin Tiance remarked coldly, absolutely unconvinced.

The subordinate detailed in his report, "Young Master Lin, because a mysterious person appeared. That mysterious person was immensely powerful, and even Lord Blood Monk couldn’t last a few moves against him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tiance furrowed his brows.

"Damn it, who on earth is that mysterious person? The Blood Monk is a Second Stage Grandmaster Martial Artist, and as a Blood Slave, his true strength, even a Third or Fourth Stage Grandmaster, is no match for him."

"Since when did Demon City have such an expert, and why are they deliberately opposing me? Could he be one of Lin Dong’s men?"

The more Lin Tiance thought about it, the more irritated he became.

The killing of Blood Monk was a severe issue. If the fact that he harbored Blood Monk, a Blood Slave, got exposed and known in the Martial Arts World, it would greatly impact his reputation.

Moreover, repeated task failures birthed an unsettling feeling within him.

"How could this be? The people I sent to Southern Capital and Demon City for tasks were all murdered by someone."

"This is clearly not a coincidence; could someone have predicted my action plan?"

"Are these people, Lin Dong’s former subordinates? Or is it that my mentor, King Kunlun, has foreseen my movements?"

If it were the latter, then he would be in great trouble.

If his actions affect ancestor Lin Sumei’s plans, then the ancestor certainly wouldn’t forgive him.

"It better not be the latter; now I only hope that the mysterious figures in Demon City and Southern Capital are Lin Dong’s former subordinates!"

He had never thought it would be the third outcome.

Which is that regardless if it was the mysterious person from Demon City or Southern Capital, they were all Lin Dong!
