Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Chapter 2704 Before the Banquet

Wu Tian had not seen Lin Hu for several days, and all matters in Benxiao Pavilion, except for the severe torture of Xing Yezui, had been handed over to Zeng Han to handle.

In fact, Wu Tian had long hoped to remove Lin Hu's position as the young pavilion master, but this order was not suitable for him to issue. This order was to be left to the two high priests who were hunting in late winter.

The affairs of Licheng can be said to have been completely messed up. Licheng was a great city. First, the Lin family fought with the warriors of Donglin County in the city, and then they Benxiao Pavilion attacked strongly, ignoring that some people in the city did not belong to the Lin family, and launched another killing. At this time, it has become a ghost town.

Of course, Wu Tian can completely blame the Lin family for this matter, or he can blame the county governor Boka. However, the responsibility for the loss of nearly 200 Benxiao Pavilion warriors must be taken by someone, and Lin Hu must stand up to take the blame.

With this in mind, Wu Tian was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Hu, and was completely ready to let him fend for himself. Wu Tian's main focus in the past few days has been to find a way to investigate the whereabouts of Zuo Feng's relatives, but it is really difficult to find them in this huge Weicheng, and there is still no clue.

At this critical juncture, the monsters in the city suddenly rioted, damaging the chambers of commerce, auction houses and animal pens. It doesn't matter, but the monster mounts outside the city, nearly half of which are owned by their Benxiao Pavilion. What's more terrible is that his own men, and a group of people responsible for guarding the mounts, suffered serious losses.

The matter of Licheng can still be pushed to Lin Hu, but this time, Wu Tian and Zeng Han must bear the responsibility. The two naturally know that this crime is not light. Wu Tian was considering how to find the mount, and he didn't want to give up the search for Zuo Feng's relatives in the city. Lin Hu suddenly came at this moment and gave him a "wonderful" suggestion.

Duobao Trading House is very special. Even Wu Tian of Benxiao Pavilion is unwilling to directly conflict with the other party, otherwise he will have a lot of trouble in the future.

However, Lin Hu's suggestion allowed him to push away the trouble of the monster mount escaping, and he could also hand over the follow-up matters to others to handle, which was a win-win situation.

Zeng Han was surprised, and looked at Lin Hu with some caution. He didn't know what Lin Hu, who had fallen to such a state, was thinking.

Although Wu Tian also felt a little strange, he was more concerned about solving the problem. No matter what purpose Lin Hu had, as long as it was beneficial to him, it would be fine.

Then Lin Hu added that the order could be issued in the name of the high priest, and the high priest would not care about it in case of emergency. The people of Duobao Trading House not only dared not refuse this order, but also had to do it wholeheartedly.

Lin Hu did not hesitate at all. He followed the suggestion directly, immediately drafted the official letter of the high priest, and sent someone to deliver it to Duobao Trading House immediately. As for whether Duobao Trading House would execute the order, he had no worries. As for when the other party would take action, this was not something Wu Tian needed to worry about. Since the official letter was issued, Duobao Trading House would need to explain the follow-up matters to the high priest.

Originally, I thought Lin Hu would ask Wu Tian for credit or reward in this matter, or make other requests. As a result, Lin Hu politely bowed and took the initiative to leave. He was even more polite than before his hands were disabled.

Looking at Lin Hu's back in surprise, Wu Tian couldn't help feeling a little dazed. If Lin Hu had acted like this before, maybe he would have fallen to the current situation, and he wouldn't have been attacked by so many people, including Wu Tian.

Wu Tian and Zeng Han naturally didn't know that Lin Hu in front of them would show such an attitude because he had made other plans. At the moment, he didn't regard himself as a small pavilion master, nor even as a member of Benxiao Pavilion.

Zuo Feng entered the city to look for his parents and relatives. This was extremely dangerous, and he had expected it before he came to the Acropolis. But how dangerous it would be, no one knew, and it was even harder to imagine that he would meet Lin Hu less than half an hour after entering the city, and Lin Hu would see through Zuo Feng's true identity.

Things have become very subtle since then. If Lin Hu recognized Zuo Feng at that time, but did not attack immediately, there might be a completely different ending in the future. But for Lin Hu, Zuo Feng is an indelible pain in his heart, how could he bear it after seeing him.

After Zuo Feng was injured, he settled in Duobao Trading House, and by chance, he discovered that Shan Ji, who was like a mother to Ni Feng, was captured by Duobao Trading House, and they were planning to tame her as a mount and pet.

Since then, it was caused by Zuo Feng, and Lin Hu fanned the flames in it. A big storm that stirred the entire Acropolis began to slowly brew. Originally, Zuo Feng's plan was to launch a small-scale battle in Duobao Trading House, and use Lin Hu's power to finally achieve his goal of rescuing Shan Ji.

But Zuo Feng underestimated Lin Hu and his madness. He had the control of the Eight Gates Locking Array, and this alone was enough to make Lin Hu show all his cards.

The night before, the entire Acropolis was disturbed by the monster riot. This night, because of Lin Hu's actions, many people were also restless, especially those who were ready to participate in his actions.

Of course, the person who was most troubled at this time was no longer Benxiao Pavilion, but Duobao Trading House. When they received the letter from the high priest, everyone's face was not very good.

They knew clearly that Benxiao Pavilion had deliberately assigned the task to them in order to shirk responsibility. However, facing this task, they had no other choice but to accept it.

Although Lin Zhi had a bad temper, she was a very clear-headed person. She knew what the result would be if she disobeyed orders at this time, and she also knew what kind of trouble she would have after executing the order. "Dilemma" was exactly the situation of Lin Zhi and others now.

Although the order was issued to Duobao Trading House, it was actually directed to Zheng Tang and Zheng Yu, two of Lin Zhi's subordinates. These two people had good cultivation strength, but here they obeyed Lin Zhi's dispatch. In fact, only the two of them were qualified to execute Benxiao Pavilion's task. Even if Lin Zhi didn't say anything, the two of them already knew what to do.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Zhi could only sigh helplessly and nodded heavily. Zheng Tang and Zheng Yu knew that the final result would not change.

However, the two were worried about Lin Zhi's safety, so they finally decided that Zheng Yu, who was a little weaker in cultivation, would carry out the pursuit, and Zheng Tang, who was a little stronger, would stay to protect Lin Zhi. At the same time, they sent a message to Xinshu County, asking Xinshu County to send new strong men to protect Lin Zhi.

Although Lin Zhi frowned and showed deep disgust, she didn't say anything in the end. She knew that her own safety would sometimes affect the lives of many people, so even if she was reluctant, she would still be forced to agree to some decisions of her subordinates.

Since it was a letter from the high priest, Duobao Trading House naturally did not dare to delay and began to draw manpower overnight. Some warriors whose injuries had just improved had to follow Zheng Yu at this time. If Zuo Feng saw it, he would be surprised, because there were nearly a hundred warriors around Duobao Trading House, who were under the command of Zheng Tang and Zheng Yu.

In fact, Lin Hu also knew that Zheng Yu and Zheng Tang had strong men under their command, but he didn't know that there were so many. When the spies they sent out learned that Zheng Yu had left the city with nearly a hundred people who suddenly appeared, they were surprised and suspicious, but they couldn't help but secretly relieved.

Although their actions were aimed at Zuo Feng, they would eventually conflict with Duobao Trading Company. At this time, every time the opponent's power decreased, their chances of winning would increase.

The four Benxiao Pavilion warriors under Lin Hu also started to act immediately. Some returned to Benxiao Pavilion and secretly contacted some people who were close to Lin Hu to secretly win over the other party to participate in the action.

Although Lin Hu is no longer as good as before, there are still some people who have received his favors in the past. Now, driven by interests, they were quickly persuaded to voluntarily participate in the capture of Duobao Trading Company.

Some people went to several hidden warehouses. The materials stored in these warehouses belonged to an inconspicuous trading company on the surface. But the actual controller is Lin Hu, and the materials in the warehouse are naturally allowed to be used by the people sent by Lin Hu.

The visitor did not take away other items, but took away a large amount of medicine. There were five sacks, almost 150 kilograms of medicine, which were put into the crystal storage and taken away.

Others secretly contacted various informants to understand the situation of the monsters in various trading houses, auction houses, and animal pens. Including the number of monsters, the level, the location of the cages, and the level and number of warriors responsible for guarding the monsters.

On the surface, it was a peaceful night, but in fact, under the secret promotion of Lin Hu, a huge conspiracy was already brewing. Things had already exceeded Zuo Feng's prediction. If Zuo Feng knew that Lin Hu would make such a big move and such a careful arrangement, he might give up the original plan.

But Zuo Feng could not know after all. The news he got was that Lin Hu was now excluded by Benxiao Pavilion, and there were only four or five available people under his command. The outsider who could be used was just the doctor Feng Li.

This is the huge deviation caused by the unequal intelligence. Just like Zuo Feng was not aware of the power in Lin Hu's hands, Lin Hu was also not aware that Zuo Feng was planning another thing, a crazy plan to rescue the seventh-level monster.

At this time, the two groups in the chaotic Acropolis were destined to fight like two blind people. They could not see each other's true face, nor did they know what methods the other party used. Everything would be revealed only on the day of the real fight.

In fact, both parties had a common mentality, that is, they were looking forward to the day of action coming soon. The brewing storm had completely erupted on the night of the banquet according to Zuo Feng's plan.
