Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Every Grievance Has Its Source, Every Debt Has Its Debtor

"Is that it?"

Watching Lin Fan hang up the phone, Xu Zhi Rou asked anxiously.

This order was a matter of life and death for tens of millions of souls.

Even a single battle could crush countless lives.

"Almost. All the passages are now blocked, but there’s still this tiny gap. The fish won’t smash the pot to sink the boat, since they know that a net breaking would do no good for anyone. As long as there’s hope, we should strive for it," he explained.

Lin Fan could naturally guess Yamamoto Ichiro’s reaction at this moment.

Since a breakthrough had been found, he certainly wouldn’t let the fish die and the net break.

"Then I’ll order the special forces to retreat now!"

Xu Zhi Rou didn’t know what Lin Fan was planning.

But no one would defy the intent of the Heavenly Master.

Moreover, Prince Zhen Nan had always regarded him as a prospective son-in-law.

In such matters, she naturally had no hesitations.

"We’ve come all this way, how can we just retreat like that? Didn’t you say the enemy has gathered several groups of people? Select one group and don’t let them leave,"

Lin Fan said as he held back Xu Zhi Rou, who was about to leave.

This girl acts impulsively.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan with a puzzled face.

"Since the enemy is prepared to fight to the death, how can we make them behave without striking them first? We don’t need to eliminate them all, just beat them severely. Furthermore, the Onmyoji are not invincible; using some modern methods could teach them a good lesson,"

Lin Fan said with a mischievous wink.

"This is an urban area, how can we use modern equipment? At most, we can use submachine guns, stun grenades, and the like."

Xu Zhi Rou hurriedly rejected Lin Fan’s idea.

The lethality of modern equipment was indeed great, and many low-level martial artists couldn’t withstand it.

Being in a bustling area, if there were any accidents, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"That’s why I said we don’t need to annihilate them completely, just eat up the group hiding in the abandoned factory. The location is secluded and not easy to access, and there’s no one around. We’ll cover it up with something so there won’t be any problems,"

Lin Fan pointed at the intelligence information gathered by Xu Zhi Rou.

The two hundred people gathered at the western suburb factory were the perfect target.

"Cover it up with something, how?"

Xu Zhi Rou felt her thoughts were barely keeping up with Lin Fan’s pace.

But he only smirked and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Alright, then I’ll go prepare immediately," she said.

Hearing the answer she wanted, Xu Zhi Rou hurriedly jumped into the car.

She pressed the accelerator and drove off into the distance.

"Mr. Lin!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to enter the door.

A car approached from behind.

As the car door opened.

Zheng Tianxiang from Antique Street had already rushed over.

"That was quick,"

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

"When Mr. Lin summons, I naturally come without delay, but I’m not sure why you were in such a rush to find me. Is there something you need me to do?"

Zheng Tianxiang looked at Lin Fan with a face full of respect.

Considering his status today, even the Five Branches of the Plum Blossom had to bow down to him.

"It’s nothing major, come in, I want to introduce someone to you."

Lin Fan smiled as he crossed the threshold.

The unknowing Zheng Tianxiang hastily followed.

They walked to the tea room, and seeing Zhao Jiaqi sitting there with an elegant demeanor,

Zheng Tianxiang still hadn’t reacted.

"Mr. Zheng, allow me to introduce someone,"

Lin Fan gestured towards Zhao Jiaqi.

This instead confused Zheng Tianxiang.

"Mr. Lin, isn’t this Miss Zhao, Mr. Luo’s younger martial sister? I’ve met her before,"

"No, what you see is just the surface. Inside, it’s not Zhao Jiaqi anymore."

Lin Fan’s words truly baffled Zheng Tianxiang.

This was undoubtedly Zhao Jiaqi, yet it still wasn’t.

"Zheng Tianxiang, the thirty-sixth generation head of the Plum Blossom Sect, can’t you even recognize your own identity?"

Ni Chang set down her teacup, her expression solemn.

That statement left Zheng Tianxiang stunned.

But he remained there, motionless.

"Venerable one, I was momentarily dazzled and clouded; I don’t know which celestial being you are, one who has roots planted firmly on this path?"

"Below Cobalt Blue Mountain on the lane of hedges, where the Five-eyed Glaze Lamp lies, from it bursts forth a blazing bird, which celestial has come to light the lamp?"

Ni Chang spoke a series of codes calmly.

These words made Zheng Tianxiang’s eyes widen.

He tremblingly uttered a word, yet dared not speak it lightly.

"Saint..."

"Indeed, it is I!"

At Ni Chang’s nod, Zheng Tianxiang jumped in fright.

Looking at Lin Fan, who nodded in agreement.

Even though he didn’t understand what had happened, Zheng Tianxiang quickly knelt down.

"Zheng Tianxiang of the Ming Vein, respectfully welcomes the Holy Maiden!"

No matter his age, in front of the Holy Maiden, he was still a junior.

Bowing his head to the ground was nothing more than a common greeting.

"Rise, this matter of my borrowing a body to step out must not be divulged to a second person."

Ni Chang waved her hand, and only then did Zheng Tianxiang dare to rise.

"Understood, even if I am shattered to pieces, I will absolutely not discuss it with outsiders."

Zheng Tianxiang nodded hurriedly.

Internally, he was more frantic than ever.

"Alright, don’t just stand there, sit down and let’s talk. I called you here today because there is a serious matter to discuss."

Lin Fan smiled and gestured towards a stool.

Zheng Tianxiang dared not refuse, yet also dared not sit on an equal level with Ni Chang.

He could only sit sideways, perching on the edge of the stool.

This, too, was a matter of protocol.

"Recently, a great calamity befell Heaven’s Cavern, and the entire village was nearly razed to the ground..."

Only then did Lin Fan begin to explain the situation.

Hearing about the disaster at Heaven’s Cavern, Zheng Tianxiang furrowed his brows.

But as an antiques dealer without martial power

He was ill-equipped to contend with them.

"Now that the turmoil has subsided, but Heaven’s Cavern no longer possesses its former glory, the urgency of reconstruction is paramount. After much consideration, you are the most suitable person for this task, so I am entrusting this great responsibility to you."

Lin Fan smiled as he patted Zheng Tianxiang on the shoulder.

Hearing this, Zheng Tianxiang was moved.

If he could shoulder the responsibility of rebuilding Heaven’s Cavern, his status within would surely be incomparable to his current one.

"Please rest assured, Holy Maiden and Lin, Heaven’s Cavern is the ancestral root of the Five Veins, and I, Zheng Tianxiang, dare not forget. I will venture through fire and water for this task of reconstruction; I will go home immediately, disperse all my wealth, and gather funds, ensuring to put forth my utmost effort in rebuilding Heaven’s Cavern!"

Zheng Tianxiang stood up, excited.

As the owner of an antiques business, most of his cash was tied up in his stock.

If he needed to raise funds, it would take some time.

"This destruction of Heaven’s Cavern isn’t your fault; how can I let you disperse all your wealth? Whoever caused this disaster will bear the cost; you don’t need to worry about the funds. You just need to find a designer to redesign Heaven’s Cavern entirely, then purchase materials and manage transport. I will handle the creditor myself."

Lin Fan stood up, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

"Creditor?"

Ni Chang looked at Lin Fan with confusion.

Was he also planning to have the Puppet Master be responsible?

"Of course, there is a debtor for every debt; they must pay heavily for this incident!"

Lin Fan’s smirk was wicked.

If someone wants to act like a dog, then it’s better to chop off the dog’s head.
