C34 A Small Fortune
C34 A Small Fortune
First, he had to take action. Any obvious traces had to be removed.
Fortunately, Chu Yan had already considered this from the moment he made his move.
Ye Chen's throat had been punctured, and it was just an ordinary strike, but the body had been sliced into pieces, it was done by another servant of the Ye Family. As for the servant of the Stage Four of the Genuine Force, he did not have any wounds caused by the Lin Family's martial skills, and in order to hide the scars Chu Yan had left on his body, the signature strike did not land on his head, but hit his heart.
Thus, at this moment, just by looking at the marks, there was no one who would associate the death of the three with Chu Yan.
At the same time that they were cleaning up, Chu Yan felt around with the three of them, and in an instant, he found a lot of good stuff.
Just the Spirit Money alone numbered more than eight hundred.
Spirit Money s were a type of currency used by various countries. There was a special kind of jade stone that was polished to look like copper coins, round on the outside and square on the inside.
Under normal circumstances, a hundred Spirit Money would be enough to feed a family of three for a month.
So right now, eight hundred change was a small fortune.
Other than this, Chu Yan also picked up the weapons of the two Ye Family servants.
The two blades that the servant of Stage Three of Genuine Force used were the triplex s, and the long blade that the servant of Stage Four of the Genuine Force used was shockingly a fourth grade sharp weapon.
If it were the Lin Clan, a Fourth-rank sharp weapon could be considered a weapon.
More importantly, the grade four weapons were already in the middle grade. They could be used to inscribe talisman markings on them.
There was another thing, it was a small booklet recording the Lotus Leaf Double Wood Slash.
This pamphlet looked a bit old and run-down. It should be quite a few years old.
From this, it could be seen that the Lotus Leaf Double Wood Slash was not a martial skill preserved by the Ye Family.
Chu Yan remembered that the other party had previously said that this Lotus Leaf Double Wood Slash was a High Rank Mortal Realm Skill, it should not be bad, so right now as a spoils of war, he had naturally taken it along with his weapon and Spirit Money.
In the echo loop.
The echo loop s could store items, which Chu Yan had accidentally discovered a few days ago.
As for the space, other than the Return to the Ruins Tower s, there was also a large empty area inside the echo loop, which could fit several hundred people. At the moment, it was more than enough to fit inside these few small items.
After putting everything away properly, Chu Yan carefully cleaned up all the traces left behind at the scene, and then quickly left.
Furthermore, he decided that in the next period of time, he would not come here to cultivate, because for the time being, he did not know whether or not the Ye Family would know about Ye Chen coming to kill him tonight other than those three people.
After Chu Yan left, two hours later, rain began to fall from the dark and gloomy night sky.
Rain fell onto the body of the Ye Family's Stage Four of the Genuine Force servant. A moment later, the fellow twitched and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This servant was an infamous bandit at an early age and had learned many secret arts. At a critical moment, he could solidify his blood vessels and contract his heart into a ball. This was one of the life-saving secret techniques he grasped.
However, Chu Yan's claw was too powerful, and nearly shattered his heart, so even though he had woken up, it was only in the afterlife, and he would not be able to last for long.
"I must leave a message."
Clenching his teeth, this servant of Stage Four of the Genuine Force used his finger to drip a drop of blood, and drew it on the ground.
"The one who killed me was Evergreen Town's Lin Family's Chu Yan …"
Thinking about it, he was already dead before he could finish writing it, so he wiped it twice and wrote again: "The one who killed my Lin Family's Chu Yan."
However, he had spent too much effort writing this line, so when he had just written the word 'kill,' he felt his vision darken.
Thus, he wiped it away again and wrote, "Murderer Chu Yan."
Due to the severity of his injuries and the excessive loss of blood, even though it was just four words, he had written them in an erratic manner, sometimes large, sometimes small, as if chicken claws had crawled over them.
However, at this time, the Ye Family servant didn't have any strength of heart to change it.
After writing the last word, he gritted his teeth, and with the last of his strength, struggled out a small tube from the bottom of his boot.
This small tube was hidden extremely well, Chu Yan did not discover it before.
The servant unscrewed the tube and pointed to the sky.
Instantly, a bunch of fireworks shot into the sky, exploding in midair and visible from afar.
After doing all of this, the servant's throat let out a gurgling sound, he lay on the ground and died completely. A hand covered the two words "Chu Yan", and the two words "Chu Yan" were exposed under the drizzle.
More than two hours later, the sky was already bright. However, because of the rain and fog, the mountain road was still rather dark.
Just then, several figures suddenly appeared in the rain, led by Ye Hengkong who went to the Lin Family to propose marriage.
Under Ye Hengkong's lead, the figures moved forward at an astonishing speed. Even if the mountain roads were slippery, it did not seem to have any effect on them.
The moment he saw the corpses of Ye Chen and the rest, it was as if the air had frozen over in an instant.
"How dare you kill a member of the Ye Clan!" Seeing Lin Chen's dead body, which was filled with grievances, Ye Hengkong let out a furious roar. The instant his fists clenched, the air around him began to rumble like thunder.
"Investigate!" Hurry up and check if there are any clues left behind by the killer! My Ye Family will tear him into a thousand pieces! " Ye Hengkong ordered in a low voice.
The people who had followed them quickly split up and began to inspect the corpse and the surroundings.
Seeing everyone bustling around, Ye Hengkong knew that it had been raining for a long time, so he was afraid that he would not be able to find any clues.
As expected, the messages that came caused him to be vexed over and over again.
"There are no traces of them."
"Young Master Ye Chen's injuries were caused by a knife."
"The wound seems to be caused by the Lotus Leaf Double Wood Slash!"
...
Messages were sent over one after another, combining together. It was as if Ye Chen had gotten into a dispute with a servant over some matter, and in the end, both master and servant died.
But Ye Hengkong knew that this was definitely not the case, and he couldn't find any useful clues either. Hence, the more he thought about it at this moment, the more depressed he became.
"Elder, there is a death message!" Suddenly, a child of the Ye family squatted in front of the servant's corpse and shouted.
"What!" Ye Hengkong was shocked and delighted, he anxiously took a step forward.
"Assassin number two!"
The four words astonishingly appeared before everyone.
Because of the rain, the other parts of the word "Chu Yan" had been washed clean by the rain. Adding on the fact that the servant was on his deathbed, the number of words he had written varied between large and small.
"The murderer called for two!"
"Two people? "What a strange name!"
"Could it be some sort of code name?"
Everyone looked at each other. They were both excited to know the identity of the murderer, and confused by the strange name of the murderer.
