That night.

Lin Manor.

As the adopted son of Tang Qian, the leader of the Azure Serpent Gang, Lin Beihan undoubtedly received significant attention. His position within the gang was extremely high, and he was highly trusted by Tang Qian!

Moreover, he was not considered old, and his talent was not inferior to anyone else's. He was almost certainly a Tiangang martial artist, and it was not impossible for him to glimpse the Tongxuan realm.

If he were to break through to Tongxuan, he would inevitably become the second most important figure in the Azure Serpent Gang, with a high probability of succeeding Tang Qian in the future.

Lin Beihan was also working hard in this direction. In addition to strength, he also needed outstanding merits and a good reputation. Therefore, in the struggle for the Azure Serpent Gang to erode the interests of the Changle Gang, Lin Beihan took the lead.

He even managed to suborn the vice leader of the Changle Gang, earning Tang Qian's praise.

This was his first step, and his second step was to become famous, with Chen Yuan as his target!

This guy had a great reputation in Nanling Prefecture and had killed many of the Azure Serpent Gang's men. He was a thorn in the side of many people. If he could be killed, Lin Beihan wouldn't have to worry about his reputation.

But Chen Yuan was not so easy to kill. It could be seen from Tao Qingyuan's protection that if he wanted to kill Chen Yuan, he had to make sure that no one could find any evidence, and at the same time, many people had to believe that it was his achievement.

This was difficult and dangerous. Lin Beihan didn't really want to do it, but he couldn't resist Bei Haisheng's request, so he could only agree on the surface, but in reality, he knew Bei Haisheng's little schemes very well.

Naturally, he wouldn't fall for it so easily.

According to his plan, he wanted Bei Haisheng and Chen Yuan to perish together, and he would reap the benefits. But Bei Haisheng was not so easily fooled either.

Therefore, he had been somewhat troubled lately.

After sending away the messenger sent by Bei Haisheng, Lin Beihan rubbed his head and whispered:

"That old fox really won't act until he sees the rabbit."

Bei Haisheng sent people to urge him to kill Chen Yuan almost every day. Lin Beihan felt that the rumors circulating in the gang recently about the cause of Yu Wancheng and others' deaths were likely spread by this old fox.

In order to avenge the death of his son, he had indeed put in a lot of effort.

Pouring himself a cup of tea, Lin Beihan, with his hair disheveled, took out a rectangular black box about half a foot long from under the bed and carefully examined it on the table.

This was not the first time he had pondered it. In fact, since he obtained this thing, he had checked it almost every day to see if there were any abnormalities.

Unfortunately, for three years, this thing had been like a stone, with no reaction at all!

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if this thing was really a family heirloom.

He had obtained this item three years ago from a county under the jurisdiction of Nanling Prefecture. It originally belonged to a small sect, but because it had declined and provoked the Azure Serpent Gang, he was sent to destroy this sect.

This item was offered by the sect leader of that generation, who claimed it was a treasure passed down by the founder, containing a shocking opportunity!

To be honest, Lin Beihan was very excited when he first got it, thinking that his luck had arrived. But after studying it for several years, whether it was burned, soaked in water, chopped with an ax, or dripped with blood, the black box simply did not react.

But his interest did not stop there, but instead became more and more intense.

Since it didn't react in any way, wasn't that just a treasure?

Later, by chance, Lin Beihan found something similar to this item. That thing was called 'Tongling Jade Box,' which was a treasure sealed by a senior expert.

In the martial world, it had always been considered a treasure, containing either top-level cultivation methods and secret techniques or various rare spiritual objects. None of them were ordinary.

Think about it, a senior expert went to so much trouble to make a Tongling Jade Box, would they put a pile of poop in it?

So Lin Beihan had always been looking forward to seeing what this box could open for him. This had become his obsession, and he would take it out to look at it almost every day.

Sometimes he would wonder if he should offer it to his adoptive father. That way, his adoptive father might value him more, but he was really unwilling to do so!

After staring at it for a long time, Lin Beihan sighed and thought to himself:

"I got you, but you are not for my use. Could it be prepared for someone else?"

He quickly dismissed this idea. That was impossible. It was just that he hadn't found the method yet.

In the future, he would definitely find out the secret of this thing.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

A somewhat hurried footstep came from outside the door, and then a 'dong, dong, dong' knocking sounded on Lin Beihan's door.

"Who is it?"

Lin Beihan subconsciously hid the box behind him, his eyes fixed on the figure outside.

"Lord, it's me."

Frowning slightly, Lin Beihan hid the box under the bed, walked to the door, opened it, and asked, "What is it so late?"

The person in front of the door quickly said:

"Lord, the patrolling goshawk gave a warning. A group of people are approaching the manor!"

"Have you found out who they are?"

Lin Beihan's eyes narrowed. The Azure Serpent Gang's goshawks were a great tool for them to patrol. Only he, as the lord of the Blood Killing Hall, could get one to circle in the manor for reconnaissance.

Facing the goshawk's warning, he didn't dare to be careless.

"Not yet. This subordinate felt that something was wrong, so I reported it to you, Lord." The man said.

"Well done, tell them to investigate further!"

Lin Beihan had always been cautious. He valued his life very much.

Especially since the Azure Serpent Gang and the Changle Gang were currently in a conflict, they might attack him.

"Yes!"

The man nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait, summon everyone in the manor to stand ready. If anything goes wrong, send a signal to the main hall immediately."

His Lin Manor was not far from the Azure Serpent Gang's main hall, but it was definitely not close.

It would take at least a quarter of an hour to get there.

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"

After the man left, Lin Beihan returned to his room, took the black long spear from the wall, held it in his hand, and his expression turned serious, with a hint of killing intent.

He couldn't judge whether it was the Changle Gang who had made the move. If so, why hadn't Bei Haisheng sent a message?

......

......

About a hundred feet in front of the Lin Manor, dozens of Sky Survey Guards dressed in black cloud uniforms waited expressionlessly for Chen Yuan's order, with their wild goose feather sabers at their waists.

"Kill it!"

Chen Yuan frowned and looked at the goshawk circling in the void and constantly chirping to warn, and ordered Yan Qing beside him.

He originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, surround the entire Lin Manor, and then strike together to end the battle as quickly as possible, but now it had been ruined by the hawk above!

Yan Qing nodded, drew a flying knife from his waist, and a cold light appeared. Then, in the next moment, he threw it out violently.

The flying knife instantly hit the goshawk's body, causing a scream and falling to the ground.

'Bang!'

Yan Qing smirked and looked at Chen Yuan and said:

"Sir, that hawk is dead!"

Chen Yuan: "It's good that it's dead."

Then, Chen Yuan drew his wild goose feather saber and waved it violently:

"Since this beast has exposed our whereabouts, there is no need to hide. By order of Lord Tao, Lin Beihan of the Azure Serpent Gang has betrayed the imperial court and intends to rebel. Exterminate the entire clan! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A group of Sky Survey Guards roared in unison!

Mo Donghe ate a clove of garlic, took the lead, quickly ran to the front of the Lin Manor, raised his weapon and waved it violently, with a 'bang', he chopped open the Lin family's gate, and shouted:

"Kill!"

With Mo Donghe taking the lead, all the Sky Survey Guards immediately stepped forward bravely, either entering through the main gate or crossing over the walls from various places. In a short moment, there was a sound of killing everywhere.

Chen Yuan's pace was even as he entered with the group. Apart from those under his command, the other Sky Survey Guards were people that Tao Qingyuan had transferred to him. He originally wanted to find another Sky Surveyor to join him.

But Chen Yuan was worried about the Three Blades of Abi, so he refused.

Not to mention that Lin Beihan had not yet been promoted to Tiangang, even if he had been promoted to Tiangang, Chen Yuan would not be afraid of him after being blackened!

Looking up at the stars, Chen Yuan thought to himself, now that he had made a move, the Changle Gang should also be making a move!

As for Tao Qingyuan, Chen Yuan felt that he might be hiding on the way to intercept Tang Qian.

In fact, Chen Yuan's prediction was very correct. He and the Changle Gang's men acted almost one after another. The north of Nanling City was immediately filled with the sound of killing, and Bei Haisheng, who had been awakened, was furious.

The gang leader actually made a move without informing him at all. What did that mean? Did he think he was not trustworthy?

Apart from Bei Le, had he not thought about the Changle Gang?

Also, why did the gang leader suddenly make a move?

The Changle Gang was clearly at a disadvantage right now. Did he want to launch a sneak attack? Where did he get the confidence?

In addition, why hadn't his confidants notified him before the attack?

Realizing this, Bei Haisheng was filled with worry. He quickly drank a bowl of rootless silver soup and rushed to the front line of the battle.

Faced with the Sky Survey Division's sudden attack, most of the people in the Lin Manor did not react. The subordinate who had reported to Lin Beihan earlier was just about to summon everyone, but it was still a step too late.

Faced with the powerful crushing force, the elite Sky Survey Guards took the upper hand almost in one encounter. Realizing this, the person who had reported earlier immediately took out a firework from his arms.

"Swoosh!"

A bright cyan firework exploded in the sky above the north of Nanling City.

Chen Yuan threw the long saber in his hand, and it was inserted straight into the chest of that person. He walked forward, pulled out the long saber, and sneered:

"What, are you still planning to have an arrow piercing through the clouds to summon reinforcements?"

"Hehe..."

The person on the ground opened his mouth, tilted his head, and died.

Chen Yuan opened his Heavenly Eye, preparing to investigate where his opportunity lay, but as soon as he opened it, he felt a cold killing intent. He immediately dodged to the side.

A long sword brushed past him and was inserted straight into the ground.

"Chen Yuan, what are you trying to do?"

Lin Beihan, holding a black iron long spear, walked out of the darkness with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Chen Yuan.

"Are you blind? Can't you see what this official is doing?"

"Good, then I'll tell you, I'm preparing to exterminate your family!"
