Chapter 48 - 48 This Matter has Nothing to Do with Me

48 This Matter has Nothing to Do with Me

“Governor Lin, this … This is all a misunderstanding. How could I possibly cooperate with Lu Cangmang to harm you? Crimes and I are simply irreconcilable!” Prince Li Yang shouted in panic.

At this moment, he was completely flustered!

The large number of deaths by the other party’s hand was a testimony to Lin Wudao’s cruelty and ruthlessness. Once the other party suspected him, he would probably lose his life.

Therefore, Prince Li Yang could only defend himself madly, trying to clear his name.

However, was Lin Wudao that easy to fool?

“Ah, a misunderstanding?”

“Indeed! As we all know, the Lu family has been holding a grudge against you because of what happened to Lu Yunxiao. They have been looking for a chance to take revenge on you. They must have heard that I am having a banquet at Lingyun Pavilion, so they lay in ambush here. Governor Lin, this matter has nothing to do with me…”

Prince Li Yang put on a pitiful look. His face was full of grievance. It was as if he was also a victim!

Lin Wudao sneered, “Good acting! However, do you think I’m a fool?”

Ah!

The cold blade flashed, and an arm flew off Prince Li Yang’s body.

Seeing such a scene, Mu Tiansang, who had been watching from the side, couldn’t help but be furious!

“Lin Wudao, you’re too bold. You’re simply lawless. Prince Li Yang is a member of the royal family. Even if he has made any mistakes, you should leave it to His Majesty to punish him. You are just the Deputy Governor of the Demon Subduing Division. Who gave you the power?” He reproached sternly.

Boom!

As he spoke, a powerful aura instantly crushed Lin Wudao.

However, in the face of his overbearing suppression, Lin Wudao was like an unmoving central pillar, not budging at all from the beginning to the end. His expression was as cold as ever.

His gaze even revealed the aura of death.

“Eunuch Mu, are you trying to teach me how to do things?”

“I…”

“His Majesty has specially permitted the Demon Subduing Division to act first and report later! Prince Li Yang and Lu Cangmang conspired to use the Dragon Blood Brew to harm me. The evidence is conclusive, how can they deny it? I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll face a bloody disaster.”

“Lin Wudao, are you trying to intimidate me?”

“It’s no intimidation, it’s a threat!”

His contemptuous eyes made Mu Tiansang’s feelings of hate surge.

In contrast, Lin Wudao did not think much of him at all.

“Prince Li Yang, I’ll give you one last chance. As long as you’re willing to tell me the truth, I won’t make things difficult for you in front of everyone.”

“Real… Really?”

“Naturally!”

“Alright, I… I’ll spill. All of this is Lu Cangmang’s scheme. Because Lu Yunxiao was killed, he has been holding a grudge and wants to take revenge on you. So, he came to me and wanted to set up a trap to kill you and take revenge. Since Lu Cangmang has already broken through to the Divine Transformation realm, I can’t go against him. I can only let him do whatever he wants. This is not my intention. I was also threatened…”

Prince Li Yang pushed all the blame on Lu Cangmang.

What?

As soon as he said that, the onlookers were shocked. The faces of Li Bingtian and the others were extremely gloomy.

Even now, they still had lingering fear in their hearts.

Just now, they had almost been the victims!

Fortunately, someone had drunk the Dragon Blood Brew in advance and thus showed the existence of the Cultivation Dissolving Pill. Otherwise, their cultivation would have been completely gone as well.

Dozens of years of bitter cultivation would have gone to waste!

At the thought of that terrible result, their hatred for Prince Li Yang reached the extreme.

This person was too vicious!

“Governor Lin, I’ve already told you the whole truth. You said before that you wouldn’t… You wouldn’t make things difficult for me…” Prince Li Yang suppressed the resentment in his heart and said with panic.

Lin Wudao nodded.

“I did say that. Don’t worry, I’m a man of my word. Since I said I wouldn’t make things difficult for you, I won’t.”

“Then I can go now?”

Lin Wudao responded with a soft “hmm”.

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Yang couldn’t care less about the pain. He immediately struggled to his feet, trying to escape from this place.

However, the heavens didn’t grant his wish!

Buzz!

Just as he turned around, a sharp saber light streaked across the air and cut off his neck with lightning speed.

In an instant, a head rolled to the ground.

The person who made a move was Han Qingshan, who had been standing behind Lin Wudao.

“I said I wouldn’t make things difficult for you, but others didn’t promise the same. Prince Li Yang, have a safe journey.”

A calm voice slowly sounded.

At this moment, Lin Wudao came to Prince Li Yang’s corpse as if nothing had happened and connected his head to his body.

The scene deeply stimulated Mu Tiansang!

“Lin Wudao is too vicious and brutal. He’ll be a great threat in the future. When I return this time, I must report this to the Governor and think of a way to get rid of this person in time…” He contemplated in his heart. Thinking of this, Mu Tiansang said his farewells and walked out of the Lingyun Pavilion without looking back.

He felt that it would be dangerous if he continued to stay here!

In fact, he had guessed it right!

Lin Wudao had already prepared a doppelganger outside Lingyun Pavilion.

Boom!

Just as Mu Tiansang walked out of the Lingyun Pavilion and was about to steer his spiritual boat away, a ferocious hand with terrifying power came down from the sky.

“Ah!” A shrill scream reverberated in all directions!

The Origin Stone’s doppelganger had Lin Wudao’s combat strength. With a single palm, Mu Tiansang’s body exploded into a pile of dust.

Hearing the commotion, the crowd immediately walked out of the Lingyun Pavilion and saw the destroyed spiritual boat as well as the rain of blood.

“What? Mu Tiansang is dead?”

Everyone was shocked!

Whoosh!

All of them looked at Lin Wudao at the same time, but the latter feigned innocence and puzzlement

“This matter has nothing to do with me!” He snorted coldly.

“Yes, indeed!”

“Governor Lin was with us the whole time. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. It’s impossible for Governor Lin to have the chance to kill Mu Tiansang.”

“To think that old thief was biased towards Prince Li Yang. He deserves to die!”

“It must be Mu Tiansang’s enemy who did the deed.”

“It definitely should be so!”

…

Everyone chimed in and pushed Mu Tiansang’s death to his “enemy”.

In truth, that was indeed the case!

According to their relationship, Lin Wudao was indeed Lin Wudao’s potential enemy.

“Governor Li, let’s go back. It’s too dangerous here. Who knows, there might be a second Lu Cangmang.”

Lin Wudao said to Li Bingtian and the others after everything was settled

All agreed.

With this, they quickly left Lingyun Pavilion.

…

Whoosh!

Halfway back, Zhao Mang quickly came up to him.

“Governor, all members of the Lu family have been arrested! Lu Qinghou resisted with all his might, but I killed him on the spot.”

Lin Wudao responded with a soft “hmm.”

“Other than that, we also found a strange stone statue in the secret chamber in the Lu family’s back mountain. It looks like a demon, and it might have been worshipped.”

A demon stone statue?

Lin Wudao stopped in his tracks when he heard this.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Under Zhao Mang’s lead, he quickly arrived at the secret chamber. As expected, he saw a strange stone statue.

The great demon of Mountain Tu?

Lin Wudao frowned at the feedback from God’s Spiritual Eye.

Buzz!

It was also at this moment that the stone statue seemed to be stimulated by something, and it suddenly bloomed with a strange black light.

Boom!

Then, a great pressure descended from the sky…
