Chapter 120: Chapter 100: If I Bind My Enemy to Myself, How Would You Respond? (3-in-1)_4

Of course, such an important item would surely require a password lock or corresponding prohibition.

Unless one is as powerful as Shen Xingzhu, it’s difficult to forcibly break the prohibition.

The cultivators Chen Kuang had killed earlier, many carried such items, but Chen Kuang knew taking them would be pointless, hence he never developed the habit of looting corpses.

Unexpectedly, this time Shen Xingzhu gave him a convenient opportunity.

Chen Kuang was somewhat suspicious, wondering if this was Shen Xingzhu’s open plot to kill him...

But then he thought, Shen Xingzhu was the one who attacked first, unlikely to use theft as an excuse to tackle his own heart demon, so he gladly accepted it.

On the other side of the rooftop, Lin Er You floated down, shaking his feathered fan.

He used some technique to remain untouched by the rain, and seeing the scene below, he laughed and clasped his hands, saying: "It seems that this crisis has been smoothly resolved by Ruogu."

Chen Kuang said: "Thanks to Brother Lin persuading the other Martial Saint Pavilion to leave, otherwise, much effort would have been wasted today."

Lin Er You jumped down and suddenly froze, with his pupils constricting: "Ruogu is already in the Tower Ascension Realm?!"

He then laughed heartily: "You’ve really tricked your brother well!"

Clearly, he thought Chen Kuang had concealed his identity.

Chen Kuang didn’t correct his misunderstanding, smiling and saying: "Just a fortuitous encounter."

"But, why didn’t Ruogu kill this person?"

Lin Er You glanced at Bai Fen, half-jokingly saying: "He should be on his last breath; are you keeping him to demand ransom from the Yihuo Sect?"

Chen Kuang shook his head and said: "The crisis here has been resolved, but the threat to Jishao County looms large."

"How can I sit idly by when those on a list await rescue?"

He looked at Lin Er You and smiled: "Brother Lin must also be curious about how this fierce storm will be unveiled, right?"

"However, I am more curious about how the governor knew I was at the Chen Mansion and confidently informed the Martial Saint Pavilion."

"As I recall, my whereabouts were undisclosed until now."

"Along the way, I didn’t interact with many people except... you."

Lin Er You’s eyelids twitched: "How could that be? Ruogu, you know I’ve always regarded you as a friend, why would I harm a friend?"

Ha, this man is lying.

But no matter, he probably guessed Lin Er You’s intentions.

Chen Kuang had already learned from the Little Princess about the Freedom Mountain disciples finding a candidate for the sage, and Lin Er You likely chose Zhou Yanwei.

Moreover, it seems he wants to leverage Liang Kingdom, specifically Jishao County, as a stepping stone to cultivate power for Zhou Yanwei.

The first target is undoubtedly the entire Jishao County.

The second target is certainly Chen Kuang and his group, and the hidden force known as "Earth Official."

As for the governor’s sudden bold betrayal and Martial Saint Pavilion’s extreme attention, it was perhaps his mistake.

Thus, he stayed at Chen Mansion to help guard it.

Chen Kuang glanced at him deeply and patted his shoulder: "If that’s the case, Brother Lin, wait here for my good news."

He smiled and said: "Or, before I return, consider the candidate for Jishao County’s new governor?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

...

Governor’s Mansion.

In the hall of Great Zhou Civilization Official, he paced eagerly, his face a mix of excitement, bloodlust, pride, and anticipation.

He awaited news from his subordinates, aiming to capture all those daring to defy Great Zhou.

Then.

Tomorrow, he could stand on the altar, executing them one by one, pushing them to the lake’s depths!

This is the beauty of power, controlling life and death, all within his hands!

Outside the hall in the corridor, Fan Hailong stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, frowning while inexplicably feeling a sense of unease.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky.

Fan Hailong suddenly squinted and saw a silhouette slowly walking into the hall from outside.

This figure was quite eerie, holding a zither in hand, and astonishingly carrying a corpse on his back!
