"No? Straighten out your tongue and say it again, how could there be none?"

In a nearby mountain hollow, Wu Jinliang was holding an iron chain with one hand and pointing at Huang Yingying's nose with the other, severely warning him.

A pile of Lord A Xun's relics, already rummaged through, lay in disarray before the two of them, after Huang Yingying had personally searched through it.

Of course, it was Wu Jinliang who had him search, with the obvious purpose of finding the 'Death Refusing Incense'.

But now the problem was, after Huang Yingying had searched several times, he reported the unfortunate news that the 'Death Refusing Incense' they were after was not among these items.

By this point, Huang Yingying was one hundred percent sure that this trouble the big guy was making was all for finding the 'Death Refusing Incense'.

"Really, no. The 'Death Refusing Incense' is a paste that burns with an exotic fragrance, you know that without me telling you, but here, you've also used magic to inspect every single thing, it's really not here!" Huang Yingying lamented repeatedly.

Wu Jinliang wasn't one to talk easily, he suddenly punched Huang Yingying so hard he spat blood and fell to the ground, stepped on his chest, and casually placed a knife against his neck. With a cold chuckle, he said, "Old Huang, no need to prattle anymore. Since that's the case, there's no use keeping you around. You know too much. Let's see each other in our next life and go hit the brothels together, on me."

Huang Yingying was immediately scared and screamed, "Mr. Gao, no, I can refine the 'Death Refusing Incense', I'm still valuable, I am!"

Wu Jinliang chuckled, "Sorry, missed the boat on this one. That stuff's missed its deadline. Old Huang, have a good journey!"

With that, he was about to cut the other's throat with the knife.

"You wretched Gao, you'll die a bad death. I knew you harbored ill intentions. Even as a ghost, I won't let you off..." Huang Yingying, who was angrily howling, suddenly shut up and froze, his rage dissipating as quickly as it came.

For no other reason than Wu Jinliang's knife didn't cut his throat, just left a blood mark on the scabby rotten flesh, and he sheathed the knife, seemingly letting him go.

Huang Yingying immediately changed to a smiling face, "Mr. Gao, I knew you weren't the kind of scoundrel to burn bridges..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes rolled back, as Wu Jinliang knocked him out.

Having taken out the Mother-child Talisman, Wu Jinliang urgently sent a message to Shi Chun: Chun Tian, all in vain.

Shi Chun quickly responded: What happened?

Wu Jinliang replied: There was no 'Death Refusing Incense' among A Xun's things, now what?

No? Having just carried a pile of books upstairs, Shi Chun, who was coming back down, paused in the corner of the second-floor stairs, leaning against the wall with a slight frown. He trusted that Wu Jinliang wouldn't easily give such an answer unless it was confirmed.

How could there be none? It's unclear whether A Xun didn't carry it on him or put it somewhere else.

But he'd initially planned for it to be on A Xun's body, with no alternative. By the time he knew it was in A Xun's possession, it was too late and A Xun had already been killed, leaving him to go after A Xun's relics.

Now this result had put him in a passive position.

He had resorted to unscrupulous means to get ahold of A Xun's relics, previously unconcerned about the aftermath, just waiting for Wu Jinliang's message to leave, already prepared to flee far away.

Throughout the process, he was even mentally prepared for things to fall apart and to resort to violence if necessary.

After much thought, he was still unwilling to easily give up the lead before him, so he messaged Wu Jinliang to ask: Did Huang Yingying kill two close aides of the Divine Mountain officer?

Wu Jinliang: That's right, I forced him. If the deceased's identities are correct, there should be no turning back for Huang Yingying; judging by the strength of the two deceased, it should be accurate.

Shi Chun asked again: You said those two followed your escape route underground, catching up with you?

Wu Jinliang: Yes, that's the only possibility.

After confirming the related circumstances, Shi Chun decisively ordered: You guys come back immediately, as fast as you can; I'll send Chu Jingtang to meet you...

After quickly handing out instructions, hearing the footsteps upstairs, Shi Chun hurriedly put away the Mother-child Talisman, posing as if thinking against the wall. Looking up, he saw the second young lady Dong Liangyu coming down from finishing work.

Seeing him standing at the staircase corner, Dong Liangyu got a bit nervous, thinking he was waiting to speak to her.

But she realized she was overthinking when Shi Chun headed downstairs, leaving her flustered.

Shi Chun was not in the mood to observe her reaction, his mind entirely on one thing, hoping it wasn't too late to patch up the leak, the issue being that the information he had was limited, clueless about the situation's progress on Li Xianghong's end.

Anyway, he insisted on not retreating easily, willing to gamble this chance, just depending on whether Wu Jinliang could make it back in time. If not, and any leak really did occur, he would forcefully fight his way out.

Knowing the situation was urgent, Wu Jinliang, driving the Wind Scale back, was very quick, coordinating with Chu Jingtang to hand over Huang Yingying on the way.

Hearing from Chu Jingtang that the search personnel outside the city had all been withdrawn, Wu Jinliang recklessly flew directly to the city outskirts by nightfall.

Upon reaching the city outskirts, he immediately contacted Shi Chun, informing him of his arrival.

Shi Chun, relieved to receive the message, promptly contacted Hao Ji, waiting outside.

Before Wu Jinliang arrived at the book house, Hao Ji, passing by the book house, spread rumors among the passing pedestrians that Fan Wuzhe had been captured.

Coincidentally, Shi Chun heard this at the doorway and quickly relayed the rumor to the Dong Wenshu family.

No more appetite for a meal, Dong Wenshu immediately took his son out, heading to the mountain in the city to investigate the situation.

As soon as they left, Wu Jinliang arrived at the door.
