Chapter 364 - Lin Zhannan dies
"We'll see a side door after walking along the wall for a while. It seems like it hasn't been used for a long time and the lock is old. We can go in from there." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, no one objected as they followed Ling Xiao to the side door.
Seeing that there was indeed a side door here, Lin Pingzhi quickly dismounted and called for the two servants of the Escort Office behind him to come over and break the door apart.
Seeing that, Zhang Xiaolong also prepared to dismount and help.
Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "Although this side door is a bit weaker than the main city gate, it's at least the main city gate. Just these few people alone, just how long are you going to run into it?"
"Then what should we do?" Lin Pingzhi's face was filled with worry. We can't delay any longer.
Ling Xiao said indifferently: "All of you retreat, make way."
Everyone heard, although they did not know what Ling Xiao wanted to do, but no one dared to stand in place, and quickly gave way.
Following that, an extremely powerful force was slapped out of Ling Xiao's palm, and with a rumbling sound, the side door shattered with a loud bang.
This action caused everyone to drop their jaws as a thought flashed across their minds. This was too violent!
"Alright, get on the horse!" With that said, Ling Xiao flapped his horses and entered the city, the rest, seeing that he had also mounted and followed him into the Fuzhou City.
The street was still empty, not a single person in sight. Seeing this scene, Lin Pingzhi's expression became even uglier, and his heart was filled with fear and unease.
The current Fuzhou City was like a dead city, without any signs of life.
He quickly arrived at the Forwey's escort office, and the first thing he saw was the forced open door. Seeing this, Lin Ping could not help but rush in.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao dismounted and followed, "Gongzi Lin, do not be rash!"
Upon entering the Forwey's escort office, they saw a black miasma filled scene. Broken flags, Carriage s and dozens of corpses littered all over the ground. The scene looked extremely miserable.
Ling Xiao turned his head to look at the location of the Carriage. He discovered that it had become extremely messy, and quite a few of the Carriage had been moved;
"How could this happen? How could this happen!" Lin Pingzhi mumbled blankly as he stared at such a desolate scene.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao patted Lin Pingzhi's shoulders and said: "Don't be anxious, let's go inside and take a look first."
As they slowly went deeper into the Lin Mansion, the scene became more and more bloody, and the corpses became more and more numerous, causing people to feel scared, not daring to move forward, because they did not know if the scene before them would become even more terrifying and bloody.
Normally, the Forwey's escort office had an extremely high status. Even in the Fuzhou City, they were half a sky and had never encountered such a tragic situation before. Wherever they went, it could be said that there was not a single clean corpse that was covered in blood.
"These people from the Qingcheng Sect, they are obviously trying to destroy my Forwey's escort office!" Lin Ping looked at the miserable scene inside Forwey's escort office, his entire body was trembling, his fists were tightly clenched, he was so angry that his gums were creaking and his heart was burning, as though he wanted to fight with someone else.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao could not help but shake his head, thinking that he did not see what kind of situation Lin Zhennan was in, if anything happened, wouldn't Lin Ping go crazy?
Thus, Ling Xiao went forward and comforted him a little more, then led Lin Ping to continue walking inside the house. He had to find Lin Zhenan quickly, otherwise, who knew if Lin Pingzhi would continue to restrain himself until he made some crazy moves.
Finally, everyone arrived at the great hall of the Lin Mansion. Ling Xiao looked at the corpses that littered the ground, and could only sigh helplessly.
At this point, there was no need to think to know what had happened.
Facing the full attack of the Qingcheng Sect, no one in the Forwey's escort office or even in the Lin Mansion were spared, they had all died.
To be able to hit the furthest part of Lin Mansion, this Qingcheng Sect was indeed well-prepared. Furthermore, at this point, Lin Zhannan had nowhere to run.
However, Lin Pingzhi did not believe it. He wailed and rushed inside, trying to find his father.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao sighed again, and followed him in.
The ground was filled with corpses. Qingcheng Sect disciples and Forwey's escort office shop assistants crossed each other and covered the ground to the point that there were not many places they could set their feet on.
Because Lin Pingzhi was in a hurry to escape, he tripped over the corpses several times. His entire body was immediately dyed red with their blood.
He did not mind. Since it was not easy to run away, he decided to just lie down on these corpses and use his hands to search through them, trying to find Lin Zhannan.
Ling Xiao watched from behind with an expressionless face. He knew that he had no control over matters of life and death, and if Lin Zhannan was really alive, how could he not come out to see his child. Furthermore, the Qingcheng Sect had spent such a huge price to do so, it was impossible for him to let Lin Zhannan go.
After a short period of silence, a mournful wail rang out. Lin Pingzhi, who was holding onto a corpse, began to cry out loud. That person was Lin Zhannan.
When they saw this scene, the remaining two helpers of the Escort Office s also started crying. Adding on the corpses that littered the ground, the scene was truly moving.
"Xiaolong, go to the rooms nearby and take a look. If anyone is still alive, inform me immediately and take a look at the situation in the room." Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaolong who was still standing in his original position, and ordered.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolong reacted, he promptly responded, and then ran out.
Ling Xiao did not disturb Lin Pingzhi, and waited by the side.
After a long time, Lin Pingzhi finally stopped crying. However, his red eyes attested to his extreme anger.
"Sect Leader Ling, why do you think the Qingcheng Sect wants to kill my Forwey's escort office so badly? Is it because they think that I killed their Sect Leader's son?" Lin Pingzhi asked as he put down Lin Zhannan's corpse.
Ling Xiao heard and shook his head: "That's not it, this is actually a long planned plan, I have also discussed it with your father, but by then it would be too late, facing Qingcheng Sect's fierce siege, your father only has two choices, either to think of a way to save Forwey's escort office, or to think of a way to protect you, and protect the future of Forwey's escort office."
Upon hearing these words, Lin Pingzhi's eyes widened before muttering to himself, "So that's how it is, that's why my father chose me …"
"Yes, your father decided to place his hopes on you." Ling Xiao said as he nodded his head.
