Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

62: Ambushed halfway, Zhao family’s secret guards!Chuanwen wasn’t frightened by the black-robed man’s words; instead, he asked with a chuckle.

”Since you hate me so much, I really don’t know how I offended your master. Can you let me die with a clear understanding?”

Seeing that Chuanwen showed no fear, the other black-robed man couldn’t help but praise him.

”You look frail and scholarly, kid, but I didn’t expect you to be such a man. You’ll naturally understand everything once you reach the Prefecture City!”

Hearing the words ’Prefecture City’ and thinking of the Black Wind Bandits mentioned earlier, a flash of insight struck Chen Chuanwen’s mind. He suddenly thought of the Lin Family of the Prefecture City that Liu Jinshan had once mentioned.

”Is it the Young Master of the Lin Family from the Prefecture City?”

Chen Chuanwen suddenly asked. These words immediately made the two black-robed men freeze; they hadn’t expected Chen Chuanwen to guess the mastermind behind the scenes.

”You’re quite clever, kid, but people who are too shrewd usually don’t live long!”

The black-robed man said coldly, then took out a strip of cloth, planning to gag Chen Chuanwen. They didn’t want him to speak anymore; the kid was too sharp, and they were constantly being tricked into revealing information by him!

”Hehe!”

Chen Chuanwen chuckled softly. It was good to know the mastermind; this way, he would have a target when he sought revenge in the future!

Just as the black-robed man was about to gag Chuanwen, they suddenly heard a long howl.

”Finally caught up!”

Chen Changsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking at the two black-robed men holding Chuanwen hostage, a smile appeared on his face.

”A Essence Spirit!”

The two black-robed men cried out in alarm when they saw Howling Heaven’s figure. As experts from the Prefecture City, they naturally knew how terrifying Essence Spirits were.

”So the Chen Family’s reliance is actually a Essence Spirit!”

The black-robed man’s gaze swept over Howling Heaven and Chen Changsheng. As he spoke, he pressed his long saber against Chuanwen’s neck.

”Make the Essence Spirit leave and clear a path for me, or my blade won’t hesitate!”

The black-robed man knew he was no match for Howling Heaven, but fortunately, he still had a card in his hand—the captured Chuanwen.

”Brother, I can make way, but let the person go!”

Worried about Chuanwen’s safety, Chen Changsheng quickly agreed and ordered Howling Heaven to stay behind him!

Seeing Chen Changsheng clear the path, the two black-robed men cautiously walked past him.

Howling Heaven watched them intently from behind Chen Changsheng. The two black-robed men were under immense pressure, and cold sweat couldn’t help but pour down.

Finally, they passed the intersection where Howling Heaven stood. The two black-robed men breathed a long sigh of relief, their bodies feeling much lighter!

The two of them were only Martial Artists of the Blood Refining Realm. They had thought capturing Chen Chuanwen would be an easy task, but who would have expected it to draw out a Essence Spirit!

The Chen Family’s trump cards were hidden far too deeply. However, even if they didn’t bring back Chen Chuanwen, being able to take the news back would be a great achievement!

Just as the two of them relaxed, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows!

The figure was extremely fast. Holding a short blade, he stabbed toward the black-robed man holding Chuanwen like a bolt of lightning!

Caught by the sudden attack, the black-robed man instinctively raised his saber to block.

”Clang!”

The sound of clashing weapons rang out. The black-robed man narrowly blocked the strike, but their life-saving chip, Chen Chuanwen, was snatched away by the attacker.

”Damn it, stop him!”

The black-robed man shouted and tried to chase after Chuanwen, but what met them were Howling Heaven’s sharp claws!

Although these two black-robed men were experts of the Blood Refining Realm, their attacks couldn’t even breach Howling Heaven’s Bronze Skin and Iron Bones!

Though their Moves were exquisite, unfortunately, Howling Heaven only attacked and never defended. As long as those claws touched them, they would be covered in blood!

After several Moves, the two black-robed men died with deep regret under Howling Heaven’s claws!

”Steamed Bun, you truly are a professional assassin. Your attacks are impossible to guard against!”

Chen Changsheng patted Steamed Bun’s shoulder and said with a smile.

It turned out that the one who attacked the black-robed men earlier was Steamed Bun, who had been lurking in the shadows. Steamed Bun was originally an assassin, and compared to direct combat...

...this kind of sudden attack from the shadows allowed him to better utilize his strengths. So, Chen Changsheng had him lie in ambush. He hadn’t expected that while Steamed Bun rarely acted, when he did, he would solve the crux of the problem!

”Father, these two black-robed men are likely subordinates of the Lin Family from the Prefecture City. Do you remember Liu Jinshan?”

At this time, Chuanwen untied the ropes on his body and walked up to Chen Changsheng, speaking in a low voice.

”Liu Jinshan? The Lin Family of the Prefecture City? What’s the situation?”

Chen Changsheng asked with a puzzled look. Originally, he had thought these two Blood Refining experts were sent by Zhao Zhiyi!

”Father, it’s like this...”

Chuanwen told Chen Changsheng about what happened when he killed Liu Jinshan and what the two black-robed men had said, then speculated:

”I think this matter might be unrelated to the Zhao Family. It could be the Lin Family from the Prefecture City plotting against our family business, or perhaps to seek revenge for the Black Wind Bandits...”

Chen Changsheng heard Chuanwen’s speculation, and his brow couldn’t help but furrow. He felt things weren’t that simple.

”If the Lin Family was after business or revenge, why didn’t they act before? Why did they suddenly Move right after Zhao Ming’s visit?”

”I think this matter is ultimately inseparable from the Zhao Family!”

Chen Changsheng said after some thought. Just then, he looked back and found that Steamed Bun had silently vanished!

”Eh? Steamed Bun, where did you go?”

Truly a professional assassin; his movements were so stealthy that he disappeared right under his nose.

Chen Changsheng called out twice but received no response. His heart tightened; perhaps Steamed Bun had sensed danger and gone into hiding.

While Chen Changsheng was letting his imagination run wild, Steamed Bun stepped out from behind a large blue stone, carrying a bleeding young man.

The man’s hand and foot tendons had clearly been severed. He couldn’t stand and was being dragged along entirely by Steamed Bun!

”He was eavesdropping!”

Steamed Bun threw the man in front of Chen Changsheng, wiped the blood from his short blade on the man’s body, and then sheathed it.

”Steamed Bun, you’re too ruthless...”

Chen Changsheng could tell at a glance that the man’s limbs had been crippled by Steamed Bun, and he couldn’t help but comment.

Then, he walked up to the crippled young man and asked with a chuckle:

”Brother, who are you? Why were you eavesdropping on us?”

The young man’s eyes were already dim; after all, he was now a cripple with no future!

Seeing that the other party wouldn’t speak, Chuanwen stepped forward and searched him. Before long, he pulled a token from the man’s robes.

”Zhao Family... Secret Guard?”

Chuanwen examined the token; one side said ’Zhao Family’, and the other said ’Secret Guard’.

”Hehe, so he’s one of Zhao Zhiyi’s intelligence gatherers! Steamed Bun, you did a great job!”

Seeing the token, a sharp light flashed in Chen Changsheng’s eyes. He hadn’t expected the Zhao Family to have their own intelligence organization. It seemed the Black Ice Platform was about to face its first opponent!
