Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

"boom!"

Suddenly, a roar seemed to be heard from Lin Fan's body, and the true energy in his body suddenly broke through the bottleneck!

Lin Fan's aura also soared to the extreme in an instant!

Then, the breath gradually subsided.

Lin Fan slowly finished his training and opened his eyes. Two sharp rays of light flashed in his eyes!

The early stage of Grandmaster Realm, not bad!

After sensing it, Lin Fan was quite satisfied that the strength was more than ten times stronger than before.

"Sir, you've emerged from confinement! Congratulations on your great improvement!"

Lin Pingzhi sensed the movement caused by Lin Fan's breakthrough, and hurried over, speaking respectfully to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan asked casually, "How long have I been practicing?"

Lin Pingzhi said, "A day and two nights have passed. My lord, you must be hungry. I hunted some game and picked some wild fruits. Please fill your stomach."

As he spoke, Lin Pingzhi handed Lin Fan a roasted rabbit and some wild fruits.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate and finished it in no time after taking it.

"What are your plans next?"

Lin Pingzhi said respectfully, "From now on, I will be your servant, and I will obey your orders in everything."

"It's just that before my parents died, they wanted me to go to the old house in Xiangyang Lane, Fuzhou, to retrieve the ancestral heirloom. I want to go back first, retrieve the ancestral heirloom, and then come back to wait for your orders."

"When I was investigating the clues to the destruction of the Fuwei Escort Agency, I went to the Lin family's old house in Xiangyang Lane and accidentally found something. It should be the ancestral item your mother mentioned. Take a look."

After saying that, Lin Fan directly took out the cassock containing the Sword Manual of Exorcism from the system space and threw it to Lin Pingzhi.

"This is... the Sword Manual of Exorcism!"

When Lin Pingzhi saw the words on the cassock, he exclaimed in surprise.

It turns out that their Lin family really has a book of sword skills to ward off evil spirits!

But soon, Lin Pingzhi saw the eight conspicuous words: "If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first"!

At this moment, Lin Pingzhi also understood why the ancestors of the Lin family warned against practicing this sword manual.

Lin Pingzhi clutched his cassock, his mind in turmoil and his expression shifting constantly.

If he had not taken revenge, Lin Pingzhi would have chosen to castrate himself to practice sword without hesitation.

But now that his parents' death had been avenged, Lin Pingzhi felt somewhat hesitant.

He wanted to practice and improve his strength so that he would not be bullied in the future; at the same time, he did not want to castrate himself.

Lin Fan looked at the troubled Lin Pingzhi and said with a faint smile, "Although this Sword Manual of Exorcism is good, there are many martial arts in the world that can rival or even surpass it."

"As long as you work for me loyally in the future, I will teach you a set of martial arts that is no less powerful than the Sword of Exorcism. There is no need to injure yourself just to practice the Sword of Exorcism."

"Thank you, sir!" Lin Pingzhi thanked him respectfully upon hearing this, and then said, "I will serve you loyally. Please keep this sword manual."

Lin Fan didn't hesitate and put away the Sword Manual of Exorcism. His eyes flickered slightly as he said:

"I plan to hand over the Sword Manual of Exorcism to my superiors, but I will delete the first few words. You must not tell anyone about this, understand?"

"I only know that my ancestors passed down the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but I have never seen the contents inside," Lin Pingzhi said without hesitation after hearing this.

"Very good," Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "You don't have to keep calling yourself a villain. Just call yourself a subordinate."

"As you command!" Lin Pingzhi clasped his fists and bowed, responding respectfully.

"Let's go back to Hengyang City first, and then it's time to escort the Qingcheng Sect criminal back to the capital."

Lin Fan smiled, lifted Lin Pingzhi's shoulders, and directly performed the Immortal Step, returning to Hengyang City.

"Sir, you're back!" The Jinyiwei in the inn saw Lin Fan returning and hurriedly came forward to greet him, bowing respectfully and speaking.

Lin Fan nodded and asked casually, "Where's President Zhou?"

The Jinyiwei said, "General Zhou is entertaining the Hengyang prefect in his room."

"Oh? Magistrate Han is here? Do you know what's going on?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised when he heard that.

"I don't know," the Jinyiwei answered cautiously after hearing this.

"Haha, Master Lin, you're back!"

Lin Fan was about to say something when the door of a guest room on the second floor suddenly opened and a hearty laugh rang out.

At the same time, Hengyang prefect Han Zhou also appeared in Lin Fan's sight.

Zhou Meng was also beside Han Zhou at this moment.

The two were walking quickly down from the second floor and heading towards Lin Fan.

"Sir!" Zhou Meng clasped his fists and saluted Lin Fan, then said, "Sir Han is here to invite you to Liu Zhengfeng's residence."

Han Zhou smiled and said, "Master Lin, let me explain this matter. Let's not mince words. Liu Zhengfeng donated the rank of lieutenant general, so he and I are colleagues."

"Commander Liu may have noticed something, so he sent someone with a generous gift and asked me to pass it on to Lord Lin."

"If anything unexpected happens during the Retirement Ceremony, I hope Lord Lin and his brothers can protect his family from disaster."

In fact, Liu Zhengfeng originally wanted to ask Han Zhou for help. After all, Han Zhou was the prefect of Hengyang, and he had considerable power and could mobilize a lot of people.

Han Zhou was worried about being retaliated by the underworld people. After all, the underworld people were powerful and if they sent someone to assassinate him secretly, he would not be able to sleep or eat.

So, Han Zhou suggested that Lin Fan and other Jinyiwei take action.

Liu Zhengfeng and Lin Fan had only met once, and was worried that the Jinyiwei would be difficult to deal with, so he asked Han Zhou to be the middleman.

Of course, Han Zhou is not the middleman for nothing.

At this time, Zhou Meng reported to Lin Fan: "Liu Zhengfeng sent someone to deliver five hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Haha, that's quite a big deal," Lin Fan chuckled when he heard that.

Lin Fan had not expected that there would be such a thing before the Golden Basin Retirement Conference.

Is it the butterfly effect?

Or maybe, in the original novel, Liu Zhengfeng also asked the Hengyang prefect for help, but the other party did not agree?

No matter what, it didn't have much impact on Lin Fan.

After a brief pause, Lin Fan said, "Since Lord Han has come forward, I will accept this. The money is not a big deal, the main thing is that I have to give Lord Han this face."

"Haha, thank you very much, Lord Lin," Han Zhou laughed out loud when he heard that.

Although he knew that Lin Fan's words were just polite talk, Han Zhou still felt quite benefited.

Lin Fan asked, "Has the Golden Basin Retirement Conference started yet?"

Han Zhou smiled and said, "It just happened to be today."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Then I will take the brothers to the Liu Mansion. Sir Han, do you want to come with us?"

Han Zhou quickly said, "I still have some things to take care of, so I might not be able to go with Master Lin. I'll be leaving first. Bye."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Goodbye, Master Han!"

After watching Han Zhou leave, Lin Fan restrained his smile and said, "Let's go to Liu's house again."

Zhou Meng said with some concern: "Sir, this matter is different from the Qingcheng Sect. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

"It doesn't matter. The Five Mountains Sword Sect only has Zuo Lengchan, who is quite powerful. The others are just chickens and dogs!"

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said nonchalantly.

Lin Fan, who has advanced to the Grandmaster realm, is qualified to say this!

Seeing Lin Fan's firm attitude, Zhou Meng stopped trying to persuade him. He immediately gathered people and rushed to Liu Zhengfeng's residence with Lin Fan.

When they rushed to Liu's house, they saw that the situation inside was extremely tragic.
