799: Chapter 759 Unspeakable Deeds_1 799: Chapter 759 Unspeakable Deeds_1 Zhao Heihu knelt on the ground, daring not to look up at Lu Chuan again.

“Who’s backing you, the Forest City Lord?

Why would he protect you?”

Lu Chuan continued to ask.

“This…

Maybe he wanted a share of the loot too.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, then looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “Would the Forest City Lord care about such a small amount of money?”

Dongfang Cheng shook his head hurriedly, “Of course not, even if the entire town were sold off, the Forest City Lord probably wouldn’t care about such a sum.”

“Then he must be after something else, Zhao Heihu, you’d better explain the whole matter clearly to me.”

Lu Chuan continued to inquire.

Kneeling on the ground, Zhao Heihu’s forehead was beading with nervous sweat, while his numerous underlings stood completely stunned, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Heihu looked up at Lu Chuan, revealing a helpless smile, “Big Brother, stop asking, there’s nothing more to say.”

“If you don’t make yourself clear, I’ll force you to!”

“Shall I use some methods?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Zhao Heihu’s body shuddered, his flesh trembling.

“No trouble, I’ll just speak…”

“Actually, the Forest City Lord wanted to enlist us, to have us join the City Guards, but the precondition was that we had to offer some money.”

“Otherwise, he threatened to send troops and wipe us out.”

“As you know, dealing with bandits and mountain bandits outside the city has always been a headache for the towns.”

“For dealing with them, the Forest City Lord also spared no effort, and finally, having no other choice, decided to recruit us, but he didn’t give us this opportunity for nothing, just demanded that we turn in the looted money to show our loyalty.”

Impatiently, Lu Chuan clenched his fist, the cracking of his knuckles resounding.

“Stop talking nonsense.

If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

“Big Brother Lu, I really have told you everything I should, please spare us, we truly realize our mistake, and we won’t come to this town ever again!”

He started crying, pleadingly speaking to Lu Chuan with tears in his voice.

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to question, “You kidnapped a few children from the town, didn’t you?”

“Yes, that did happen.”

“Release them all.”

Zhao Heihu spoke hastily, “We already let them go, they were released when we descended the mountain, they should be able to make it back after tonight.”

Lu Chuan gazed at him intently and continued to press, “You’re lying!

Did you really release them?”

Zhao Heihu pursed his lips, suddenly unsure of how to respond.

Lu Chuan stepped forward, drew the Soul Terminating Sword, and placed the blade against his neck, the cold steel making him quiver.

Lu Chuan persisted, “You still don’t plan to tell the whole truth, do you?

If that’s the case, then I shall use this precious sword to slice off your flesh bit by bit, how about that?”

Zhao Heihu took a deep breath, lowering his head, and said helplessly, “Young Master Lu, if I tell the truth, can you let me go?”

“No, I can grant you a quick death.”

“Then…

then I’ll speak.

The truth is that the Forest City Lord wanted to back us up, to give us room to cause trouble.”

“His exact words were, ‘I don’t care what you do, but there’s one thing you must ensure, without any ambiguity.'”

“What’s that?”

“It’s to secretly send the kidnapped boys and girls to Forest City.”

Lu Chuan grabbed his hair, pressing further, “And then what?”

“After that, I know nothing more.

I only knew I had to kidnap and send them, beyond that I was completely unaware.”

“And the people you kidnapped before, have they been sent over?”

Lu Chuan asked again.

“Yes, definitely.

They’ve been sent over.

What use would it be to keep them?”

“Then why are you blackmailing and extorting?”

“Well…

I was just afraid they would run off with all the money, so I only said that.”

Lu Chuan sneered, “It seems you’re quite clever, who would have thought, who would have thought, the lord of Forest City would actually stoop to your level and collude with you.

It seems this Forest City is not such a good place after all.”

Swish!!!

Lu Chuan suddenly drew his sword, and the sharp Soul Terminating Sword instantly beheaded Zhao Heihu.

Then, with a kick, Lu Chuan sent the head flying away.

Seeing this, the Second Master immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing to Lu Chuan.

“Big Brother, we were just following him, please spare us, we were only working for him, the mastermind was all him alone.”

Lu Chuan looked at the Second Master and laughed, “Why didn’t you say that while he was still alive?

Now that he’s dead, you’re throwing all the blame onto him.”

“How ridiculous.”

Swish!

Lu Chuan’s left palm ignited, and a smattering of the Divine Fire of the Sun appeared.

Soon the flame grew larger, transforming into a huge fireball.

He pressed the fireball onto the blade, allowing the flames to engulf it.

The Second Master and the bandits, seeing this, were completely panicked and immediately got up and started to flee.

“Run for it!

The boss is dead, let’s escape quickly!”

The bandits fled in a terrified scramble.

The next moment, Lu Chuan swung the Soul Terminating Sword.

Boom!!!

The Sword Qi, wrapped in flames, attacked everyone, exploding amidst the crowd and scattering countless flames that landed on them and begun to burn fiercely.

In an instant, nearly ninety percent of the forty or fifty bandits were scorched by the flames, becoming fire men, and started fleeing everywhere while wailing.

The screams were continuous and echoed through the middle of the town.

Many people, upon hearing these screams from outside, became even more afraid.

Soon after, all the bandits were burned to death; the street before them was filled with charred corpses, including the headless Zhao Heihu.

“This Sword Qi is truly impressive in power.

If you were to join the battlefield yourself one day, you would be all the more formidable.”

Dongfang Cheng remarked with a sigh.

“Now we can rest.

Once we reach Forest City, we need to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

“Isn’t that unnecessary?

Let the Forest City Lord do whatever he wants; there’s no need to make more enemies.”

Dongfang Cheng suggested.

“We’ll see.

If the City Lord of Forest City is strong enough and difficult to deal with, then we can just leave him be for now.”

“After all, we have a top enemy to deal with.

But if his strength is average and he continues his evil ways, then I must take care of him.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Alright, no problem, I support you.”

Cleaning up the Forest City Lord posed no disadvantage to Dongfang Cheng.

On the contrary, there might be significant benefits.

After all, in Forest City, the official power of the lord was much stronger than the combined might of the clans.

If they could take down the City Lord, other powers might be able to strengthen themselves.

Perhaps, the Dongfang family might even have the opportunity to become the preeminent aristocratic family within Forest City.

Just then, the inn’s door opened, and Dong Jiao came running out quickly, her face filled with excitement as she looked around.

“They’re all dead!

All those mountain bandits, all dead!”

“Thank you so much!

Please come in and rest, saviors.

It’s an honor to meet you!”

She looked at Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng, her face brimming with uncontrollable excitement.
