I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 275: Chapter 136: Saintess, Divine Illusion (3)

Fang Xing’s gaze was solemn as he watched the Evil Qi coiling within the Mortal Dust Fire.

"The Lin Family..."

Fang Xing looked toward a direction in the East City of the county town.

Details about the Lin Family involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

One of the three great clans of Qiuming County.

A clan with a hundred-year history!

They were renowned throughout Qiuming County.

The Lin Family was known for its charity, frequently providing congee to the poor and enjoying an excellent reputation.

But this was all just a facade.

Behind the scenes, they were engaged in robbery, human trafficking, murder, and arson.

Not only did they secretly collude with bandits to plunder passing merchant caravans, but they were also closely associated with an Evil Cult.

And behind the Lin Family was the Void Sect.

They appeared to be a clan with a hundred-year history, but in truth, they were merely a puppet propped up by the Void Sect.

’I’ll go to the Lin Family and take a look first.’

The thought flashed through his mind, and Fang Xing strode toward Qiuming County Town.

At 7:45 PM, the sky had already darkened. Pedestrians on the main street hurried along with anxious expressions.

Beggars huddled at the street corners.

After entering the County Town and passing through several streets and alleys, Fang Xing arrived near a mansion in the East City.

The Lin Mansion!

The vermilion gates were tightly shut, and two stone lions at the entrance stood silently in the wind and snow.

The Lin Mansion was a puppet pawn put forth by the Void Sect.

To find the Void Sect’s stronghold and learn more about their situation, the only way was to start with the Lin Mansion.

Gazing at the Lin Mansion, Fang Xing closed his eyes. His powerful Divine Soul Power shot out, sweeping over the entire estate from top to bottom.

In an instant, a complete picture of the Lin Mansion appeared in his mind.

The dozens of rooms, courtyards, studies, backyards—nearly every corner of the Lin Mansion was laid bare in his mind.

He even saw the Lin Mansion’s secret chambers with perfect clarity.

As his Divine Soul Power swept across the grounds, Fang Xing quickly locked onto one person.

The elder of the Lin Family.

A True Qi Third Layer Martial Artist.

On the surface, the Lin Family was controlled by the Patriarch—Elder Lin’s son—but in reality, the true master of the house was Elder Lin himself.

Lin Hai!

He was also the key figure with major connections to the Void Sect.

With his Divine Soul locked on, Fang Xing took a step. Enveloped in True Qi, he vanished from the street corner.

In the next instant, he appeared inside the Lin Mansion like a phantom.

Fang Xing’s figure materialized in front of a study within the Lin Mansion.

He gently pushed open the study door and stepped inside.

"Have you no manners? Don’t you know to knock before entering?"

A sharp rebuke rang out.

At a desk, an old man in Brocade Clothing had a face full of anger, but the moment he looked up, his expression instantly froze.

"Who are you?"

Lin Hai shot to his feet. His muscles tensed, and a layer of blood-red light appeared all around him. Beneath his robes, his True Qi surged. He slightly bent one hand into the shape of a demonic claw, his long fingernails shrouded in a bloody aura.

Fang Xing regarded the tense Lin Hai with a calm expression, then sat down brazenly in a chair.

"The Observatory. I trust you’re familiar with us, Elder Lin?"

Fang Xing’s voice rang out, his tone utterly flat.

But those words struck Lin Hai’s mind like a clap of thunder. Instantly, his body tensed as if turned to stone. A storm raged in his heart as fear took root in an instant.

On the surface, however, he maintained his composure and looked at Fang Xing, forcing a smile. "Your Excellency is from the Observatory?"

Fang Xing nodded lightly, a smile gracing his lips. "That’s right. So you should understand my purpose here."

Lin Hai’s expression changed, but he forced himself to remain calm. "Sir, I don’t understand what you mean."

"Do you really not understand? My patience is limited." Fang Xing gently tapped a finger on the tabletop, his voice utterly flat.

Lin Hai’s heart was in turmoil, but he still managed a smile. "Sir, there must be some misunderstanding. The Lin Family is a renowned local clan, dedicated to performing good deeds."

"Good deeds? By that, are you referring to murder and arson, robbery and plunder, or colluding with an Evil Cult, Elder Lin?"

Fang Xing’s tone was level, but every word exploded like thunder in his ears.

Hearing this, Lin Hai could no longer maintain his composure. His genial expression instantly twisted into a ferocious snarl.

VMMMM!

The True Qi in his body erupted. Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Hai activated his Ultimate Skill, the Netherworld Blood Claw.

The temperature in the air plummeted.

A blood-red Claw Mark, shaped like a demonic talon, shot toward Fang Xing at extreme speed.

Even though he sensed an incredibly dangerous aura from the young man before him, he had no choice but to attack.

Just as the blood claw was about to strike Fang Xing’s head, he nonchalantly raised a hand.

The air itself seemed to freeze.

A ball of purple flame bloomed into existence.

TSSSSS!

With a sound like strong acid corroding metal, the blood-red Claw Mark was instantly incinerated.

"What?!"

Seeing this, Lin Hai’s pupils contracted violently.

"It seems you’re a stubborn one." A sigh reached Lin Hai’s ears, and an intense premonition of danger flooded his heart.

But before he could make a move, a large hand seized him by the throat.

The True Qi throughout his body was completely suppressed, impossible to mobilize.

"Tr-True... True Qi Perfection!"

Lin Hai was horrified. His eyes bulged, and terror flooded his old face.

Fang Xing gripped his neck with one hand, lifting Lin Hai clean into the air.

A dark light flickered in his pupils.

Destruction Eye!

With just a glance, Lin Hai felt a heavy hammer slam into his mind, and his consciousness instantly grew dim.

"Tell me, where is the Void Sect’s stronghold?"
