Chapter 78 - 78: Taking Care of the Aftermath



Having finished tidying up the scene, Lin Zhen suddenly realized that it was already late.

Today is the day when Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall challenges Gale. With Changfeng Chen Jingchou already dead, if Lin Zhen does not show up, it would mean that Ice City Martial Arts Hall had lost completely. At the least, on the warrior level, Blue Sky has become the most powerful martial arts hall.

Many of those who pursue the martial way, the freshly emerged martial artists, would willingly choose the strongest martial arts hall. Blue Sky might just attract limelight because of this.

Lin Zhen did not want the pattern of the martial arts hall to change drastically because ot his rebirth.

His car was still parked outside the park. He was planning to retrieve his car and leave, but he stopped as he was about to exit the water park.

He saw the elderly man who was guarding the park gate trembling in the guard house as he looked at Lin Zhen. Although the man just exposed a pair of eyes through the window, they were promptly caught by Lin Zhen’s sharp eyes. “Damn, there was a witness to this incident.”

Without a doubt, this old man had witnessed the entire process, providing physical evidence. Lin Zhen did not want to see this happening.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Zhen pushed the door open and walked into the guard house.

A sixty-year-old man, older than Lin Zhen’s father, was nervous and trembling when he saw Lin Zhen enter. He got ready to kneel in front of Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen helped the old man back up: “Old man, why so nervous?”

“Great martial artist, it wasn’t intentional, I didn’t see anything. Please spare me!” pleaded the old man.

Lin Zhen thought for a while: “Does anyone else live with you, old man?”

“No, it’s just me, not even a spouse.” The old man was clearly honest. At this point, most people would probably mention their family members to gain empathy, but he didn’t.

Lin Zhen nodded. “That makes things easier.”

Hearing this, the old man suddenly realized he might be in trouble. The martial artist planned to kill him.

The old man was about to scream out loud, but Lin Zhen said, “Old man, don’t be afraid. I’m taking you to a better place. You won’t need to stand guard here anymore. You will be provided good food, a good place to stay and a monthly salary. Is that okay with you?”

“Are you tricking me? I’m an old man without many skills, is it possible for such good things to happen to me?”

“How much do you earn per month, old man?”

“Two thousand five hundred per month, including meals and accommodation.” The old man replied with some pride.

Lin Zhen held out his hand, and a stack of banknotes appeared from his space ring.

Martial artists don’t keep all of their money in their bank accounts because, in reality, many things still require cash.

The notes were worth a thousand Huaxia Coins each, so the entire stack was worth five hundred thousand.

“Old man, this money is yours now, and as long as you come with me, I’ll give you another five hundred thousand and find a job for you.”

“Really?” The old man looked at the stack of banknotes and swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe.

It wasn’t until Lin Zhen handed him the money that he realized it wasn’t a trick.

“Young man…no, honorable martial artist, rest assured. With this money, as long as you spare my life, I’ll do anything you ask. I didn’t see anything, no matter who finds me, I will not reveal anything about today.” Lin Zhen smiled: ‘You’d do anything as long as I spare your life?”

“Of course, I might not be a martial artist, but I’m a man of my word.”

Before the old man could finish speaking, an alloy flying knife flew out from behind Lin Zhen, barely grazing past the old man’s body!

“Puff!”

Blood sprayed out, splashing all over the floor and walls!

This move was quite skilled. It just pierced the old man’s skin, and did not harm his internal organs at all.

“Aaaahhh! !!” The old man let out a terrified scream, thinking that Lin Zhen had changed his mind about killing him, and he fainted.

Lin Zhen quickly grabbed the old man and patched him up briefly, intending to leave.

It wasn’t the most reliable method, but Lin Zhen really had no choice but to kill an old man who was defenseless. If the other party was a thug, a rogue, even an official or a martial artist, Lin Zhen wouldn’t hesitate to act.

Since he had no family, making him suffer a bit and faking a scene of his death would be the best way to go about it. After that, the man would vanish from the face of the earth. For now, the best thing was to find a place for the old man, although Lin Zhen hadn’t figured out what to do next.

As soon as he left the house and got into the car, carrying the old man a few hundred meters away, Lin Zhen suddenly realized he had forgotten his phone.

“Damn! I need to find it quickly.”

The phone was the most critical piece of evidence. Lin Zhen hurriedly drove back to the park entrance, left the old man in the car and headed straight for the waterfall area.

He found the place deserted and quickly flew over. Upon reaching, he saw Zhao Liang, Shi Lei, and Gao Yan standing there.

Seeing Lin Zhen appear, Zhao Liang said joyfully, “Lin Zhen, we finally found you!”

Shi Lei also walked over with a smile on his face. “Where have you been? Why did you leave your phone here? We were planning on taking it back to the martial arts hall for you.”

Gao Yan also came up and punched Lin Zhen’s shoulder, “Lin Zhen, thanks to you letting me and old Zhao leave Yi Lan first last time. We both made a fortune from that deal. If we had stayed there, we might have been added to the list of victims in the Yi Lan tragedy.”

“Haha, it’s nothing. Come with me, brothers.”

Lin Zhen took his phone from Zhao Liang and quickly explained the situation. However, he didn’t mention the part about killing Chen Jingchou, only giving a brief explanation of what happened.

When he mentioned that he killed two war general martial artists, all three of them gasped in shock.

Zhao Liang said, “Lin Zhen, there’s no time to delay now, we need to go back to the martial arts hall as soon as possible. As for the old gatekeeper you mentioned, I’ll arrange a place for him. We need to keep this a secret.”

Gao Yan also nodded in agreement, they couldn’t afford to leave Lin Zhen behind at the martial arts hall now.

Only Shi Lei kept silent for a moment: “Lin Zhen, this old man can’t stay, at least not in Ice City. If you trust me, give him to me. I’ll arrange for him to be sent to Capital Base City. I have a friend there who can help him find a job. Once he’s out of Ice City, Changfeng’s men won’t be able to find him. They may suspect, but suspicion isn’t enough to convict someone.”

Lin Zhen looked at Shi Lei and nodded.

No matter what, Shi Lei was a trustworthy person. Lin Zhen was worrying about how to settle the old man, and his suggestion came as relief.”

“Alright, it’s settled then. We have no time to waste. Lin Zhen, I’ll take your car and leave. The rest of you should take the plane. By now, there should be a verdict at the martial arts hall. If you don’t return soon, there will be turmoil in Ice City’s martial arts circle.”

After Shi Lei finished speaking, he took the car keys from Lin Zhen, while Zhao Liang and Gao Yan followed Lin Zhen onto the plane.

The plane took off, heading directly towards Gale Martial Arts Hall.

Shi Lei, in the meantime, drove Lin Zhen’s car towards his destination to take care of the old man.

Just after they left, Changfeng’s men found the Water Park.

Upon their arrival, Qin Yunfei, Han Fengju, and Wu Ming discovered that everyone had disappeared from here. Not only were Tie Shan and Zhao Shenji’s bodies missing, but even the park’s gatekeeper was nowhere in sight.

When they reached the gatekeeper’s room, they found splatters of blood inside. The blood was the old man’s.

Upon seeing this, Han Fengju clenched his fist and cursed, “Damn, this guy is ruthless. He didn’t leave a single survivor. Now where do we look?”

Wu Ming also looked gloomy, “The one who killed Tie Shan and Zhao Shenji was a spiritual mind master. Could it be Lin Zhen? Or did they run into a conflict with some spiritual mind master on their way?

“Keep investigating. I do not believe that there will be no traces left. But I believe that Lin Zhen must be involved in this. We need to investigate him closely.”

However, at this time, Qin Yunfei did not believe that Lin Zhen was the murderer.

While it could be possible for Lin Zhen to kill Chen Jingchou, Lin Zhen after all was only at the warrior phase. How could he possibly kill the combination of Zhao Shenji and Tie Shan?

Especially since they were proactive, they wouldn’t have been taken by surprise by Lin Zhen.. In Qin Yunfei’s mind, this possibility was almost zero!
