“Humph! You run wild first! Sooner or later, I’ll make you beg for your life and die!”
Looking at Lin Ran’s back as he left, Long Mo’s fists were clenched with killing intent in his eyes.
Lin Ran, with his men, left Wolf City, looking for traces of Li Sheng and the others along the way.
However, they chased after them for half an hour, but found no traces.
“Boss! Something is wrong with this situation!”
Old Cat suddenly caught up from behind.
“What?”
Lin Ran asked busily.
“Leng Zhan is a retired soldier king, and we all have a tacit understanding with each other, if they were really taken away in an ambush by the Phantom Lady, they would have inevitably left a signal along the way, but I haven’t found any signal at all this whole way over!”
Old Cat’s brow furrowed.
“Right! Leng Chop is more powerful than both of us, so if even he couldn’t leave a mark, then there are only two possibilities!”
Ah Zhan said as well.
“The first is that the other side is too powerful and they don’t stand a chance! The second is that the other party and probably not the Phantom Lady, but an acquaintance! Leng Xuan and the others weren’t alert ultimately resulting in no chance of leaving a mark!”
Lin Ran nodded at his words.
There was indeed this possibility.
Lin Ran knew Leng Zhan’s character and ability very well, so many times in the war, large and small information had been collected by his organization, if it was possible to subdue Leng Zhan without knowing the situation and still have the latter not leave a mark at all, this was indeed somewhat unrealistic.
“And I always had some doubts about Long Mo’s words!”
Lin Ran suddenly spoke up.
“The premise that Phantom Lady led an ambush on Li Sheng outside the city simply doesn’t hold water!”
The crowd was stunned at his words, not understanding Lin Ran’s meaning.
“Think about it, if Long Mo’s news of getting the hostage was deliberately leaked to him by Phantom Ji, then the people Phantom Ji really wanted to ambush would have been us, the squad that went to the rescue, and not the people who rushed to support them later!”
The crowd was suddenly struck by the words.
“Right! It’s much easier to ambush fifty of you than to ambush a support unit!”
Ah Zhan said busily.
“So, there must be something wrong here, and if I remember correctly, it should have been the Heavenly City Guards who went to inform you guys in the first place, and then Li Sheng and the others disappeared, have you guys ever seen the Heavenly City Guards?”
Lin Ran asked.
Old Cat and Ah Zhan shook their heads one after another.
Lin Ran’s entire heart settled at the thought.
Who the current Heavenly City Guard really was, apart from Liu Feng and the others, no one knew better than Lin Ran.
“Take this place as the centre and search around, within a ten mile radius, don’t range too far to avoid spooking the snakes!”
“Fire Three, you lead the men to cooperate with Old Cat and Ah Zhan to keep a good lookout, if you find any of Long Mo’s eyes and ears directly cut off one of them!”
Lin Ran’s eyes were icy cold.
“Yes!”
All of them took orders.
At the same time, the Heavenly City City Lord’s Mansion.
“Congratulations General, congratulations General, this Lin Ran is now throwing himself into the net, bringing sixty men to the Phantom Lady, that’s not asking for death!”
On the side, Hu Chong laughed.
Long Mo smiled and nodded, but said.
“We can’t be too happy now, this Lin Yan is cautious by nature, and this time the plan was too hasty, it can be described as full of loopholes, that Long Ya and Ling Sa are obviously very important to him, that’s why he didn’t think carefully!”
“The biggest fear now is that he will suddenly react, then our plan this time will be very difficult to achieve!”
“General, don’t worry, ten Heavenly City Guards are there, even if we can’t kill this Lin Ran we can still skin him, then we will have a reason to send troops to crush him!”
Hu Chong laughed.
Long Mo also revealed a smile at his words.
“A crusade! The reputation of attacking the Heavenly City Guards is enough to press him to death on Laozi’s sword board!”
Long Mo had a good plan, but unfortunately, he did not know that the current Heavenly City Guard was no longer the same as it was back then.
……
On the desolate plain, a figure quickly rushed in, it was none other than Fire One Sword.
“Commander, there are people from the Heavenly City Guard looking for you up ahead!”
“Go!”
Lin Ran’s heart immediately lifted, he had indeed guessed correctly, the Heavenly City Guard had definitely not gone far with Li Sheng and the others.
“Inform this down, tell Qin Yin and Qin Feng to go and help Fire Three as well, we definitely can’t let Long Mo’s eyes find out that we’ve met up with the Heavenly City Guards!”
Lin Ran instructed as he rushed off.
The people were all puzzled in their hearts, but they didn’t ask too many questions at this point and immediately went to make arrangements.
“Ran Zi, is the Heavenly City Guard ……”
At this time there were no bystanders, fire a sword looked here Lin Ran asked.
Lin Ran nodded and did not speak.
Fire Yijian, however, looked pleased in his heart.
He had long felt that something was wrong, this Heavenly City Guard was clearly Long Mo’s deadly servant, but now he had actually taken the initiative to find Lin Ran, which was obviously somewhat not quite in line with the cleanup.
Under the leadership of Fire One Sword, Lin Ran soon met the man from the Heavenly City Guard.
“Commander Lin!”
Upon seeing Lin Ran, the man from the Heavenly City Guard immediately bowed respectfully.
“You are?”
Lin Ran asked.
“I am a subordinate of General Liu and have come to pick you up specifically as instructed by the General!”
The other party said respectfully.
“Where is General Liu?”
Lin Ran asked busily.
“They are all at the Ten Mile Slope!”
“Ten Mile Slope?”
Lin Ran was stunned at his words.
He naturally knew of this Ten Mile Slope, which was a place located two hundred kilometres outside of Tiancheng.
On a normal day, Lin Ran and the others would not go there at all, as this Ten Mile Slope was just on the side of the main road, and no one would take a detour to go there.
“Let’s go!”
Lin Ran did not want to delay for a moment and immediately led his men straight to the Ten Mile Slope.
When he was still a dozen kilometres away from the Ten Mile Slope, Lin Ran sent down an order for Fire One Sword, Li Mu Di, Fire Three and other generals to station themselves around the Ten Mile Slope and make sure they were on guard.
The reason was that once Long Mo found out that he had crossed paths with the Heavenly City Guards, then the identity of the Heavenly City Guards would definitely be exposed, and the plans of Liu Feng and the others would be threatened then.
Only after arranging all this did Lin Ran take Li Bayi alone and go up the Ten Mile Slope with the Heavenly City Guard.
Inside a very secluded cave on the Ten Mile Slope, there was something else at the moment.
Inside the cave, which was originally desolate and impossible to live in at all, was now a flash of people.
“How can we trust you!”
Leng Xuan looked at the other party, his face cold.
And beside him, Ling Sa Long Ya Li Sheng Wang Yifeng and the others all looked at each other warily.
“Haha! You will all believe it soon, because I have already picked up Lin Ran!”
Liu Feng laughed, while turning to look at the entrance of the cave behind him.
At this moment a figure had already walked in, if not Lin Ran or someone else.
“Boss?”
“Ranzi!”
“Lin Ran!”
When they saw Lin Ran arrive, everyone was stunned, followed by their eyes getting red.
“Where have you been!”
Long Ya and Ling Sa ran over almost simultaneously, both of them with tears in their eyes.
“It’s alright,? It’s alright! I’m not here now!”
Lin Ran laughed helplessly.
“Ranzi, what the hell is going on here, and how did this Heavenly City Guard get you here too? You didn’t get caught too, did you!”
On the side, Wang Yifeng was still a little unresponsive.
Lin Ran pointed to the leader of the Heavenly City Guard on the side and laughed.
“Do you know who he is?”
“Who is it? Isn’t he one of Long Mo’s minions’ lackeys?”
Wang Yifeng wondered.
Lin Ran smiled helplessly and said.
“He is none other than the legend of our Southern City, General Liu Feng Liu!”
“What? He’s Liu Feng?”
The crowd froze, they had heard legends about Liu Feng even when they first arrived in South City, but no one had expected to see a real person today.
“What the hell is going on here?”
The crowd became even more confused.
Seeing this, Lin Ran greeted the crowd and sat down, before telling them the whole story from beginning to end.
