Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

On the other side, after Lin Fan arrived at the Jingzhou government office, he went straight to the prefect Ling Tui Si.

He was asked to mobilize the yamen runners of Jingzhou Prefecture and the militia soldiers to cooperate with the Jinyiwei to go to Tianning Temple and protect the Liancheng treasure.

Although Ling Tui Si had always wanted to take Liancheng's treasure for himself, he did not dare to show it openly.

He had no choice but to agree to cooperate with Lin Fan's actions.

While Ling Tui Si was mobilizing the yamen runners and militia soldiers of Jingzhou Prefecture, Lin Fan also quickly gathered 500 Jinyiwei.

Captain Lu Wen is dead, and now Lin Fan has become the supreme commander of this Jinyiwei team.

They dared not disobey Lin Fan's orders, not to mention that it involved a city-building treasure.

Not long after, Lin Fan led five hundred Jinyiwei and nearly a thousand militiamen to Tianning Temple.

In addition, Lin Fan sent someone to report the news of the appearance of Liancheng's treasure to Kyoto by flying horse, and also sent someone to the nearest Qianhu Suo to ask for help.

The Qianhu Suo here is the Qianhu Suo of the local army, not the Jinyiwei.

When Lin Fan arrived at Tianning Temple with five hundred Jinyiwei and more than a thousand regiments of trained soldiers.

The number of people from the martial arts world gathered around Tianning Temple was almost a thousand.

Although their number is not as many as the people Lin Fan brought, their individual strength is much stronger.

At least, the more than 1,000 regiments of training soldiers were not enough to kill these gangsters.

However, those underworld forces are all fighting for their own camps, and are now fighting to the death for the city-building treasure.

"Master Lin, these people in the Jianghu are lawless. Faced with the temptation of a city-building treasure, it would be difficult for us to drive them all away!"

Ling Tui Si also came with Lin Fan. Seeing those people from the martial arts world fighting, his face looked a little solemn.

At this moment, Ling Tui Si was actually hoping that Lin Fan would bring his men and rush forward immediately to fight those martial arts people to death.

That way, he could take the city's treasure for himself!

Unfortunately, Lin Fan couldn't let him have his wish.

Hearing Ling Tui Si's words, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Lord Ling, please be patient. These people from different factions are fighting for the Liancheng treasure right now. How can they care about us?"

"Let them kill each other first. We will step back and give them enough space to kill as much as they want. As long as these people don't leave with the treasure, we will not interfere."

Ling Tuisiti heard this and thought to himself that Lin Fan was cunning, but on the surface he said with a smile: "Master Lin, this is indeed a wise idea."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Ling," Lin Fan said with a smile, and then waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back.

So, the five hundred Jinyiwei and more than a thousand militiamen all retreated dozens of meters, but they could still see the situation inside Tianning Temple clearly.

Within the Tianning Temple, various forces including the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the Sun and Moon Sect, the Yuwen Clan, and the Dugu Clan all participated in the struggle.

In addition to them, the three brothers Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping and Qi Changfa were naturally also among them.

Wan Zhenshan, in particular, brought with him quite a few disciples and subordinates, making him quite powerful.

There are also some independent cultivators who are not very famous in the world, but they should not be underestimated.

During the battle, these people from the martial arts world naturally discovered Lin Fan and the people he brought with him.

However, most people in the world do not take them seriously.

These people in the underworld are used to being lawless and have never taken the imperial court seriously.

In particular, they discovered that among the troops brought by Lin Fan, there were more than a thousand training troops.

To them, the regiment's training was no different from that of ordinary farmers!

However, there are also people who pay more attention to Lin Fan and the Jinyiwei.

Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan sect, defeated an opponent with a single sword strike, then suddenly withdrew from the battle circle and shouted:

"My fellow martial artists, we're fighting here, and yet the imperial army is surrounding us outside. They're clearly hoping to profit from it!"

"Why don't we all join forces to destroy them first, or at least drive them away! Otherwise, if we fight to the end, it will only benefit the people of the imperial court."

Zuo Lengchan had already learned from Fei Bin what had happened in the Liu Mansion in Hengyang City, and he was filled with murderous intent towards Lin Fan.

But he didn't want to face Lin Fan alone and give other people in the martial arts world an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Therefore, Zuo Lengchan thought of persuading other people in the martial arts world to join him in dealing with Lin Fan and his men. Maybe he could even take advantage of the chaos to kill Lin Fan and avenge Lu Bai and Ding Mian.

After hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, many people present were moved.

After all, none of them wanted to fight a bloody battle only to end up benefiting Lin Fan and other court officials.

At this time, Xiang Wentian, the left envoy of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, which was at odds with the Five Mountains Sword Sect, suddenly laughed and said, "Zuo Lengchan, you are quite calculating!"

"I heard that back in Hengyang City, this Lord Lin killed Ding Mian and Lu Bai from your Songshan Sect. Are you trying to trick everyone into joining in and avenging your Songshan Sect?"

All the people in the martial arts world already had their own ulterior motives. Upon hearing this, they couldn't help but look at Zuo Lengchan, wanting to see what he would say.

Zuo Lengchan's face darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "Xiang Wentian, don't think that others are as despicable and shameless as you, the Demon Sect!"

"If you have any doubts, I can deal with the leader of the Jinyiwei, and we can all join forces to deal with the others, killing them or driving them away. That way, I can at least show my sincerity, right?"

Yu Wenhuaji of the Yuwen Clan smiled upon hearing this and said loudly, "Since Leader Zuo is so righteous, we should naturally cooperate. First, we will eliminate the people in the court, and then we can each seize the treasure based on our own abilities. What do you think?"

"I agree, let's do it!" Wan Zhenshan's eyes flashed and he said loudly,

"It's best to silence them all. That way, even if the imperial court wants to retaliate later, they won't be able to find the perpetrators. The imperial court can't possibly take action against all the people in the martial arts world!"

"Makes sense!"

Wan Zhenshan's words were immediately echoed by many people who had concerns.

Originally, many people were worried about being retaliated against by the imperial court afterwards.

But if Lin Fan and others were all killed, the court would not be able to find the murderer and would be helpless.

After all, the imperial court cannot deal with all the people in the martial arts world at the same time.

"Then let's do it!"

Zuo Lengchan shouted loudly and led the people from Songshan Sect to rush towards Lin Fan and others.

Yu Wenhuaji of the Yuwen clan and Dugu Ce of the Dugu clan also led their men to attack the Jinyiwei and militia led by Lin Fan.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's face darkened slightly.

If these underworld forces really united with all their strength, it would be really difficult for them to deal with them with their current strength!

After a brief pause, Lin Fan said loudly, "It's easy for you to want me to retreat. As long as Zuo Lengchan can defeat me, I will take my men away immediately. How do you think?"

"Before that, I advise you not to take action. Even if the people I brought with me are no match for you, do you really think you can keep everyone here?"
