Chapter 401 -101: How to Dissolve Resentment_2

The coffin contained the charred remains of Yan Shijin.

Those boarding the train included the officials of the investigation team as well as Wen Ke, Guan Haixuan, and others who planned to join Xu Jing in the provincial capital, intending to enroll in the new university.

Two days after the recent incident, seeing that Bian Jingru was ready to cut ties with the provincial capital, the investigation team’s officials quickly received orders to return.

After completing all the pending work, today the investigation team took a special train from the provincial city back to Datong Prefecture.

Wen Ke and others who had left their positions at Wuda were traveling with them.

There were no other passengers on the special train, apart from the investigation team, Wen Ke, and the rest, except for the guards sent by the provincial city.

“Lord Lu has specifically sent four teams of Canglin Guards to escort all of you, so everyone can be at ease,”

a robust man assured the officials of the investigation team with a smile within the carriage.

His name was Song Tiansen, a Tributor at the Government Affairs Building’s Security Department, just like the deceased ‘Dragon Splitter’ Fan Yan, and a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse.

He was the leader in charge of the special train from the provincial city to Datong Prefecture and responsible for escorting the investigation team officials back.

“Lord Lu has really taken great care by sending the Canglin Guards.”

“Yes, now we can rest easy.”

“Those petty criminals won’t dare to make a move now!”

“…”

The officials of the investigation team voiced their praises.

There are many Lu surnamed clans in the Da Lan Dynasty, but when ‘Canglin Lu’ is mentioned, people know it refers to one of the ‘Ten Great Clans,’ the Lu Family.

The Lu family’s ancestral home is in Canglin City, and the Canglin Guards are their unique protectors.

Similar to guards like the Seven Ming and Wu’an Guards, a team of Canglin Guards consists of six Refining Strength martial masters who can combine their strengths through an Array, which collectively could rival a Tao Foundation Stage expert!

This time Lu Wenzheng not only dispatched Song Tiansen and another Tributor from the Security Department who was at the Tao Foundation Stage, but also four teams of Canglin Guards.

This greatly reassured the investigation team officials.

The reason they didn’t leave Datong Prefecture right away, aside from finishing up some final tasks, was also to wait for the provincial city to send someone to pick them up.

Bian Jingru had fallen out with the provincial city, and it was unrealistic to expect a proper escort back from Datong Prefecture, so naturally, the investigation team officials had to consider their own safety.

After learning of Hao Yi’s death, their only concern was the Green-faced Ghost King.

“I’ve just received word that the Green-faced Ghost King has escorted two coffins into the city from outside the walls and is currently holding a funeral at Green-faced Manor. It seems he won’t be causing trouble.”

An official from the investigation team mentioned.

“When Hao Yi was rescued during the execution, the Green-faced Ghost appeared publicly, but didn’t a Blood-faced Ghost also show up at the execution ground? Who’s to say they won’t use the same tactic this time, and we’ll encounter another Blood-faced Ghost?”

Someone expressed a different view.

“I’ve asked Professor Wen and Professor Guan, and they both said that Blood-faced Ghost must have been severely injured by Master Xu and won’t heal anytime soon.”

“Really?”

“Professor Guan is ranked fourth on the Fengyun List; he wouldn’t be wrong.”

“….”

As everyone discussed, the train slowly started.

“Aren’t you gentlemen overestimating that Green-faced Ghost a bit?”

Unable to resist, Song Tiansen, who had been listening to the discussion, interjected:

“With two professors from Wuda, me, Liu Tributor, and four teams of Canglin Guards, even the Green-faced Ghost in his prime might not be able to contend with us, let alone the likelihood that he’s been severely injured?”

He, along with another Tributor at the Tao Foundation Stage, and Wen Ke and Guan Haixuan, amounted to four such experts.

Both Wen Ke and Guan Haixuan were formidable figures listed on the Fengyun List.

The four teams of Canglin Guards, once in Array formation, could match the combat power of four Tao Foundation Stage experts in a short duration.

This added up to a total of eight Tao Foundation Stage powers!

Additionally, there were more than a dozen top-class lecturers from Wuda, all at the peak of the Qi Change Stage, each with their unique ultimate skills; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been rated top-class by Wuda.

Combining these individuals could certainly be equivalent to the combat power of two more Tao Foundation Stage warriors, right?

When tallied, the protective forces on this special train were almost equivalent to having ten Tao Foundation Stage warriors!

With such a deployment, unless a Martial Arts Master showed up, Song Tiansen couldn’t fathom how they could lose.

Hence, he felt these investigation team officials were truly giving too much credit to that Green-faced Ghost.

Meanwhile, as these men discussed the Green-faced Ghost, next door in another carriage, Guan Haixuan was also talking to Wen Ke about the Blood-faced Ghost they encountered that day:

“Do you think it’s possible for them to make a move?”

Wen Ke, wearing glasses and with a gentle demeanor, looked out the window:

“I don’t know.”

Guan Haixuan saw the state of affairs and stopped talking; he simply caressed the scabbard of the saber he wore silently.

Two days earlier in that battle, he successfully deceived the perception of the Blood-faced Ghost and struck the opponent’s neck with his saber, but in the end, that strike was in vain.

This was the first time he had encountered such defensive power.

However, he did not believe there was an impenetrable defense in this world; at least not at the Tao Foundation Stage—he did not think anyone could achieve this.

The fact that the Blood-faced Ghost had been struck by his saber meant there must be a price to pay; it just wasn’t apparent on the surface.

“If we meet again, I’ll slash you a few more times. Let’s see how many you can take?”

Guan Haixuan thought to himself.

He was somewhat looking forward to encountering the Blood-faced Ghost again.

He wanted to confirm the effectiveness of his saber technique.

…

The train left Datong Prefecture City, heading south toward the capital of the province.

The first railway built in Datong Prefecture City was a direct line to the provincial capital and since this express train did not make stops along the way, it was expected to arrive at the provincial capital before tomorrow night.

After nearly ten hours of travel, the train had left the boundaries of Datong Prefecture and entered neighboring Qingli Prefecture.

By now, it was getting dark outside, and the passengers in the train began their dinner.

Two armed guards, having completed their shift change, were ready to return to another carriage to eat.

Aside from martial artists, there were also dozens of armed ordinary guards on this train.

The two middle carriages were occupied by the investigation team officials and Wen Ke’s team.

Moving forward, one carriage was occupied by four teams of Canglin Guards.

And the two carriages ahead of that were where the dozens of armed guards stayed.

The two guards chatted and laughed as they pushed open the door and entered the first carriage, where a dozen or so guards were already having their dinner.

Seeing the greasy fat meat on the plates, they immediately swallowed saliva:

“Whoa, traveling with the big shots sure is different; the food’s so much better.”

“Hahaha, come on, there’s plenty of meat left!”

Their companions invited them to sit down.

Just as they were about to sit, the carriage door at the front was suddenly pushed open.

A strong stench of blood rushed at them!

Instinctively, the two guards looked up only to see a man wearing black martial arts clothes, not very tall and with a fierce look, stepping through the door.

In the carriage behind him, bodies cut in half lay in pools of blood.

The man was like a demon walking out of the gates of Hell!

The two guards were momentarily stunned, but before they could react, the man who had entered swiftly moved forward, vanishing from their sight.

The next second, a bloody red light surged from one end of the carriage to the other in an instant.

Everything in the path of the blood light—seats, human bodies, firearms—was cut in half!

Blood, innards, cotton stuffing from seats, and parts from inside the firearms, all scattered in an instant, filling the entire carriage.

“There’s trouble!”

In the next carriage, the four teams of Canglin Guards sensed something was wrong and stood up.

Some held sabers, some shields, and the force erupted from within their bodies, connecting with their comrades around them, forming a battle array.

The next second, the fierce-looking man pushed the door open and entered the carriage.

The person, of course, was Li Fei.

Just like that day, he made his true self and the Green-faced Ghost appear openly, then covertly infiltrated this express train as the “Blood-faced Ghost.”

He waited until the train left Datong Prefecture before suddenly launching his attack.

After Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao died, Li Fei did not show hysteria; instead, he appeared very calm.

But that didn’t mean he had no hatred in his heart.

On the contrary, the hatred was overwhelming like a flood, impossible to quell!

What could relieve this hatred?

Murder was the answer!
