Chapter 51 He died after taking seven steps, struck by lightning!
Lin Yu's voice reached Jiang Yirong's ears; it was clear and crisp like the wind, yet it exploded like thunder.
Jiang Yirong took a deep breath, calmed herself, and, under the puzzled gazes of the two girls, respectfully addressed Lin Yu:
"Indeed, as Sect Leader Lin said. Over the past two days, we have conducted some investigations into Sect Leader Lin's past."
"What was the result?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile.
In Jiang Yirong's eyes, this was not a question, but rather a kind of test.
Her head was lowered deeply.
"Because there were images of you at the scene, we compared those images with photos of citizens across the country, and finally identified you as the person in question..."
"...Kuangliu Network Technology Co., Ltd., that's where you used to work, right?"
As these words were spoken, both girls' mouths opened slightly, revealing expressions of surprise.
What's going on? Isn't he an immortal?
Both of them practiced the [Ganmu] path, and the techniques were taught to them by Lin Yu, which they deeply appreciated.
He was now regarded as a true immortal, even an existence from another dimension. But at this moment, upon hearing the extremely down-to-earth name of the company Jiang Yirong mentioned…
This feeling is beyond words; it's a mix of emotions!
But having gone through the "back room" incident and achieved fetal breathing, they were able to remain calm and quietly continued listening to Jiang Yirong and Lin Yu's conversation.
"Yes, I did spend some years there back then."
"Looking back now, that period of time seems meaningless. However, for ordinary people, work itself may not contain any meaning other than survival."
Lin Yu sighed softly and admitted it without any hesitation.
However, Jiang Yirong did not show any mockery or probing on her face; instead, she lowered her head even further.
"...Sect Leader Lin, these are not things we deliberately sought to find out. In the course of a nation's operation, it will naturally want to grasp as many secrets as possible and control as much information as possible...because a nation itself is a machine built on intelligence and military force. Please understand."
Lin Yu smiled, but did not say whether she understood or not, only said gently:
"However, in the past two days, the people above you have run into trouble because of this information, right?"
Jiang Yirong finally raised her head, but her face was full of a difficult and bitter smile. She nodded heavily.
"The information about you was actually sent out on the first day... after all, you didn't seem to be trying to cover it up."
Why do you say that?
Lin Yu seemed to be testing her, and asked her a question.
"...Because if you want to hide, you can just change your name and disguise yourself."
"After all, Scholar Xu has only been practicing for a short time, yet he has already been able to transform a young girl... If you want to change your appearance, it would be even easier than for her."
Jiang Yirong glanced at Xu Xiu.
The girl was stunned for a moment before realizing she had been mentioned, and nodded hurriedly.
But at this moment, Jiang Yirong had already turned her gaze back to the ground.
Things aren't as you think.
Lin Yu nodded in agreement.
"The cultivation method I passed on to her is not the same as mine. She cultivated this 'Bingxuan Fengsheng Kouzhenjing' and it has its own unique wonders."
"However, what you said is also true. Although I do not cultivate [Ganmu], I have various techniques. If I wanted to bury my past identity and create a new person out of nothing to reappear in the world, it would not be difficult."
"...But you are aboveboard and honest."
Jiang Yirong sighed quietly, raised her head, and looked at him cautiously.
Seeing that Jiang Yirong seemed to have something more to say, Lin Yu smiled and waved to her, gesturing for her to speak.
Jiang Yirong then continued:
"It is precisely because you are upright and honest that you have attracted attention and aroused the greed of some people."
The two girls remained puzzled. Upon hearing this, Lin Yu clapped her hands and laughed.
"It seems someone in Jingzhou is feeling the pain."
"……Yes."
Jiang Yirong sighed deeply.
"...I don't know the specifics very well."
"But I heard that after the information about Sect Master Lin's identity and other past events was compiled and submitted... three top-secret meetings were held in Jingzhou in one day, with the lowest-ranking attendees being high-ranking officials. At these meetings, some people proposed to cooperate with Sect Master Lin using rather forceful methods..."
"And then?"
Lin Yu said calmly.
"later……"
Jiang Yirong's smile grew increasingly bitter.
"The person who first proposed this idea held an extremely high position; in ancient times, his death could be described as 'passing away'... But after he made this suggestion, he had just stood up and stepped down from the platform when he died within seven steps! The cause of death was a sudden heart attack!"
"...After this incident, many important figures above suspected that you, Sect Leader Lin, had used some kind of remote monitoring and killing methods...So they immediately moved the venue and reconvened the meeting in the underground base."
"...Because some of the previous participants were traumatized and felt that all external factors had been eliminated, their suggestions were even more radical than those of the deceased..."
"But no sooner had he finished speaking than thunder roared through the underground base, and a bolt of lightning pierced through hundreds of meters of rock, turning that important figure into dust!"
Hearing this, Lin Yu sighed softly.
Jiang Yirong, not understanding what he meant, paused her story for a moment.
"Heaven's wrath gives rise to thunderous punishment, which should be the 'Radiant Thunder' of peace, yet it resounds underground, carrying a hint of 'Hidden Thunder.' It's a pity that I haven't yet arranged for a cultivator of the Three Thunder Fruits to appear in the world, otherwise I could also perceive the wonders of this underground thunderous punishment... Continue."
Lin Yu's words left Jiang Yirong with a vague understanding yet also a chilling feeling, but she couldn't disobey Lin Yu's instructions, so she continued in a trembling voice:
"...Finally, I don't know the specifics..."
"...But I've heard that in this Jingzhou, any powerful figure who harbors delusions or murderous intent towards you will often experience a significant decline in fortune once that thought arises. And those who dare to speak of killing you will even be struck by calamity on the spot, dying amidst all sorts of unbelievable phenomena."
"...And even those who have not explicitly stated their intention to kill, if they harbor evil thoughts or have any schemes, will not escape their fate."
"For example... the former 'three-headed, six-armed' high-ranking official, was found dead in his home last night."
"And it was after his death that the guards sent by the governor broke through the barriers and entered his house, only to discover evidence of this important figure's collusion with the United States... It turned out that he wanted to send out your intelligence, to lure foreign enemies into the country, and thus seize profits."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiu and Shang Yin finally held their breath, their bodies trembling slightly.
The two teenage girls had never experienced such a scene before. Just listening to what Jiang Yirong said was so terrifying and shocking that they held their breath!
However, although she was also trembling, Xu Xiu crossed her arms, seemingly feeling cold, and her eyes were full of astonishment.
But as Shangyin listened to these things, she was stunned, and her eyes almost lit up. A deep, dark light flashed in the depths of her eyes, and her skin flushed slightly with excitement.
