that very moment, Fang Yu's body flashed like a ghost, narrowly dodging the blade.However, the bone blade didn't strike the ground but was instead grasped by Fang Yu's outstretched right hand at its..."Oh You're quite capable, aren't you" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Go out and ask around, who on the street doesn't know about our Qinglan Society I'll give you three seconds to let go of Niu Er. Otherwise...you're really dead!" The man shouted.
Fang Yu's eyes turned cold, and he loosened his foot.
Seeing this, the four men around thought Fang Yu had been intimidated and were just about to speak.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly flicked his right leg, kicking the burly Niu Er into the air. Then, like kicking a soccer ball, he kicked him forward.
"Bang!"
The two people standing in the front were knocked to the ground by the flying Niu Er, letting out pained cries.
"Let's go!"
The remaining two men drew their daggers and charged at Fang Yu.
At that moment, Bai Ran sprang into action, unleashing two punches with lightning speed.
The two men flew directly out, crashing into the liquor cabinet behind the bar, sending a pile of bottles shattering to the floor.
In a matter of half a minute, the tavern was in utter chaos, with cries of agony echoing through it.
Only the woman, dressed in flamboyant attire, remained, trembling in fear from behind.
Fang Yu glanced at her, and the woman immediately collapsed to the ground, crying out, "I, I was forced, I don't know anything... please, spare my life..."
The noises from within the tavern caught the attention of many outside.
Many people walked to the front of the tavern, peering inside to see what was happening.
Among them, were also the two young men, Fang Yu and Bai Ran, whom I had already noticed.
Seeing Niu Er and several others sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain, everyone's faces contorted with malicious glee.
Niu Er and his companions, relying on the might of Qinglan Society, had run rampant on this street for a long time. No one dared to speak up.
Today, I finally met my match!
Seeing the miserable state of Niu Er and his men, they only felt a sense of relief!
Especially the two young men, they almost burst out laughing.
"Those two young men are really bold, they actually dared to fight… If the Qinglan Society finds out…" one of the young men said.
"Qinglan Society is busy preparing for the upcoming sacrificial ceremony at Sha Shen Temple... they wouldn't care about a small head under them getting beaten." Another young man replied.
……
In the tavern, Fang Yu and Bai Ran ignored the chattering crowd at the entrance.
Fang Yu walked directly to Niu Er, who was lying on the ground, and lifted him up with one hand.
At this point, Niu Er was covered in blood. There was no trace of his previous ferocity.
"If you want to live, tell me the truth. Did you notice that girl and old man appear" Fang Yu asked coldly.
"I, I really didn't notice..." Niu Er replied with difficulty.
Fang Yu didn't speak.
"Yes! Yes! There are security cameras at the entrance of my tavern… They have a wide view… And, maybe, they captured the person you're looking for…" Niu Er said urgently.
"Security cameras Take me to see them right away." Fang Yu was taken aback and put Niu Er down.
At that moment, he remembered seeing a lot of wine bottles hanging above the entrance to the tavern as decoration before he came in.
The security camera should be hidden in here. It's hard to find if you don't look carefully.
Five minutes later, Fang Yu and Bai Ran stood in a room on the second floor of the tavern, looking at the content displayed on the monitor in front of them.
Here is the entire day's worth of surveillance footage from yesterday.
And the surveillance camera in the tavern had a wide field of view, capturing the opposite side of the street and even that trash can.
Under Fang Yu's command, Niu Er quickly reviewed yesterday's surveillance footage at thirty-two times speed.
Soon, Fang Yu noticed something was wrong and told Niu Er to stop.
Time was frozen at ten thirty in the morning yesterday. On the opposite side of the tavern, not far from the trash can, appeared a hunched old man wearing ragged robes.
The footage is clear, a girl only about 1.23 meters tall stands beside him.
This is the old man who took Ling'er!
However, judging from her standing posture, Ling'er should be controlled by some kind of spell.
The old man, with Ling'er by his side, stood there, seemingly waiting for someone.
After seven or eight minutes, a figure in a green robe and hooded cloak walked towards them.
The old man bowed and scraped before the man, speaking for a long time.
Then, he reached into Ling'er's waist pouch and pulled out a token. He walked towards the trash can and threw it in.
After they returned, the cloaked person took out another pouch and handed it to the old man.
The old man nodded and bowed again, then pushed Ling'er in front of the hooded man and turned to leave.
After the old man left, the cloaked figure walked in the opposite direction of the street.
And Ling'er, as if possessed, followed step by step.
Soon, both of them walked out of the surveillance camera's range.
"Sure enough, the handover happened... It seems this old man is a professional human trafficker... But what about the buyer's identity..." Fang Yu frowned.
"Mr. Fang, these clues are still not enough. That person was wearing a cloak, we have no idea what they look like..." Bai Ran said.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, looked at Niu Er in front of him, and asked, "Do you have any information you can provide"
"No, there isn't."
Niu Er shook his head repeatedly, his eyes darting about.
"Bang!"
Fang Yu slapped Niu Er across the face, knocking out several of his teeth.
"I've got no patience left. This is the last time I'm asking." Fang Yu said.
"...That person's clothing...it was very, similar to what the adults at Sha Shen Temple wear...but I'm not sure..." Niu Er said painfully, covering his face.
Sha Shen Temple.
Fang Yu's eyes twitched.
"Next, I have a few more questions for you. As long as you answer truthfully, I promise I won't do anything to you anymore." Fang Yu looked at Niu Er and smiled faintly.
……
As dusk approached, the sky gradually darkened.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked out of the tavern, Niu Er following behind them.
Now, they are preparing to go to Qinglan Society.
From Niu'er, Fang Yu learned the basic information about Sha Shen Temple.
All in all, Shashen Temple is the top force in Xidu.
Any clan, including the Martial Arts Association, must bow their heads before Sha Shen Temple, and even kneel on the ground.
Because most people in Xidu believe that there are truly gods inside Shashan Temple!
The existence of Sha Shen Temple amused Fang Yu.
Because he had lived in the northwest region for a long time over four hundred years ago.
Back then, Xidu didn't exist. The entire northwest and southwest were almost all desert, inhabited by nomadic tribes. There weren't even any towns that could be considered decent.
At that time, there was no Sha Shen Temple either.
That is to say, this so-called Sand God Temple only appeared in the last three to four hundred years.
So, is there a god in there
Given the current state of the world, with the appearances of both the Dragon Origin and Phoenix Origin, it's not impossible to say that the Sand God doesn't exist.
But in Fang Yu's view, there is still a higher probability of pretending to be mysterious.
However, because Fang Yu didn't know Ling'er's situation at all, he wasn't prepared to forcefully enter Shashan Temple.
Through interrogating Niu Er, Fang Yu learned that the way to enter Sha Shen Temple required a token.
And Niu Er's boss, who is also the head of Qinglan Society, happens to possess such a token.
Thus, Fang Yu asked Niu Er to take him to find the leader of Qing Lan Society.
In the car, Niu Er wiped the blood from his nose and glanced at Fang Yu and Bai Ran in the back seat. A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes.
The other party was beaten so badly, he was filled with resentment.
He was still thinking of waiting until Fang Yu and Bai Ran left before going to report to the boss and figuring out how to get revenge.
Unbeknownst to him, Fang Yu actually took the initiative to request a meeting with his boss at Qinglan Society's headquarters!
Isn't this buying one's own coffin!
Therefore, Niu Er immediately agreed.
Now, we just need to take them to the main base of Qinglan Society!
His brothers will surely avenge him!
After about twenty minutes, the jeep drove up to a large but low-rise building.
“This is the headquarters of our Qinglan Society. I'll take you in to meet my boss now.” Niu Er said.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran, following Niu Er, walked straight into the building.
As he walked towards the building, Niu Er's eyes were filled with malice and cruelty.
While he was in the car just now, he secretly texted his brothers about the situation.
In the base, the boss must have already prepared a big gift for Fang Yu and Bai Ran, those damn bastards! and said: "It seems you haven't been hurt.""I'm fine! It was the teacher..." Zheng Ze looked at the black sphere ahead."The starry sky..."Fang Yu looked at the pitch-black sphere ahead, his eyes flic...
