Chapter 54 - Making A Quick Kill

A few hours later, the carriage that Xiao Lin was in arrived at the town's center.

However, before the carriage driver would stop and ask for the fee for the services that he rendered to Xiao Lin, he saw to his shock that Xiao Lin was no longer in the carriage.

Xiao Lin had long gotten down from the carriage when it arrived at this part of the town that was incredibly bustling as really large amounts of people could be seen moving up and down in different attires to tend to the businesses that they were here for.

While Xiao Lin who had swiftly come down from the carriage unnoticed by both the driver and anyone around using his Vampiric Ghostly Movement and Vampiric Agility ability, he approached a seller in a particular shop.

"Hello" He greeted with a smile in his face.

"Hi. What do you want to buy?" The trader in the shop greeted back and then questioned.

"Actually, I am not here to buy anything. I want to ask for some information from you." Xiao Lin said in a polite tone.

"Oh! Okay. But so you may know, for every bit of information that I will give you, you will give me fifty bronze coins in return" The trader said shamelessly, causing Xiao Lin to be shocked.

Then seeing the shocked expression in Xiao Lin's face, the trader asked with a smirk surfacing on his lips "Pale boy, what's with the shock in your face? Don't you know that you have to pay for every bit of information that you would receive around here? So, ask away and pay me."

As soon as the trader said that, Xiao Lin produced an indecipherable smile in his face.

He then nodded his head and said "Okay!"

Then he asked "So, those disciples from those numerous sects that gathered for a special prize that will rapidly increase their cultivation growth, what particular inns are they residing in? Can you mention them to me?"

"Oh. You want to know that? That's good!" The trader said with a smile.

Xiao Lin who was looking disgustingly at the seller asked impatiently "Would you give me the information that I want now?"

The trader nodded his head with a smile.

He then said "Of course I will be happy to help. However, you must pay me."

He then began to calculate something in his head.

When he was done, he said to Xiao Lin "The amount of coins that you will give me is three hundred spirit coins."

Xiao Lin's eyes then narrowed as intense surprise manifested in his face.

He then asked "That much?"

"Yea" The trader said with a slight, single nod of his head.

He then started "Actually, the disciples of those numerous sects are staying in some magnificent inns in the town. And these are the Glorious Inn, Silver Crescent Inn and Graceful Kings Inn."

"Oh! Alright. Thanks!" Xiao Lin said and then sharply turned around to walk away.

But the shop owner who became angry at seeing Xiao Lin suddenly turning around to walk away, said loudly with rage in his voice "Hey! Where do you think that you are going to? Won't you pay me?!"

Xiao Lin then stopped walking.

Then after looking around and seeing that no one was looking at him as everyone minded their own businesses, he turned around to look at the trader with a vicious, blood-red light glowing in his sharp-looking eyes.

Once the seller saw the ominous light that was radiating from Xiao Lin's eyes, his heart shook tremendously in fear.

Then very quickly, the seller began to apologize and said that he can go.

Xiao Lin only shook his head with a ferocious expression appearing in his face.

Then before the trader could shout for help, Xiao Lin who was approaching the seller appeared before him in the next instant using his Super Speed ability.

Then as soon as he arrived in front of the trader, he grabbed the trader by the neck using one of his powerful arms and carried him off into his shop while employing his Super Speed ability.

And once he arrived in the shop with the shop owner in his hand, Xiao Lin used his other hand to rip away the head of the seller, causing blood to spill out from the ripped neck.

Then dropping the headless body of the seller to the ground, Xiao Lin quickly removed his common-grade spatial ring and stowed it away into his own spatial ring. And as soon as he did so, he went to the box where the seller kept all his coins and loaded everything into his spatial ring.

Now coming back to the dead body, he squatted beside it and quickly employed the True Demonic Mark condensation technique and Blood Symbol Creation technique.

Then once he completed the two techniques, the amount of True Demonic Marks in his dantian increased from 50 to 51. Same with the Ordinary Blood Symbols which also increased from 50 to 51.

When he did this, he quickly left the store and walked away like nothing happened. And from the cool expression in his face and from the confident way that he walked, no one would be able to detect that Xiao Lin had just brutally killed someone.

After walking for sometime, for fifteen minutes precisely, he arrived before an inn that he felt should be less expensive.

Then he went into the place to rent a room. When he arrived at the room that he rented, he prepared to do what he had in mind before night would fall.
