Chapter 678: Charging into the Main Camp!
“Oh? You think you’re that powerful?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Go ask around on the street, who doesn’t know about our Qinglan Society? I’ll give you three seconds to release Niu Er immediately. Otherwise… you’re definitely dead!” the man shouted.
Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold as he removed his foot.
Seeing this, the four men surrounding them thought Fang Yu had been intimidated and were about to speak.
At that moment, however, Fang Yu flicked his right foot, kicking the muscular Niu Er into the air, then kicked him forward like a soccer ball.
“Bang!”
The two men standing in front caught the flying Niu Er and all fell to the ground together, letting out groans of pain.
“Attack together!”
The remaining two men pulled out daggers and charged toward Fang Yu.
At this point, Bai Ran moved, throwing two lightning-fast punches.
These two men flew backward, crashing into the liquor cabinet behind the bar, shattering a pile of bottles.
In just half a minute, the bar was in complete disarray, with moans of pain everywhere.
Only the gaudily dressed woman remained, trembling in the back.
Fang Yu glanced at her, and she immediately collapsed to the ground, crying: “I was forced to do it, I don’t know anything… please spare my life, sir…”
The commotion in the bar attracted the attention of many people outside.
Many people walked to the entrance, peering inside to see what had happened.
Among them were the two young men who had noticed Fang Yu and Bai Ran earlier.
Seeing Niu Er and his gang lying on the ground, moaning in pain, everyone’s faces showed schadenfreude.
Niu Er and his men had been bullying people on this street for a long time using Qinglan Society’s influence, and no one dared to speak up.
Today, they had finally met their match!
Seeing the miserable state of Niu Er and his men, everyone felt a sense of justice!
Especially those two young men, who almost laughed out loud.
“Those two young guys are really brave, they actually dared to fight back… if Qinglan Society finds out about this…” one young man said.
“Qinglan Society is busy with the upcoming sacrificial ceremony at Sand God Temple… they probably won’t care about a small matter like one of their minor leaders getting beaten up,” the other young man replied.
…
Inside the bar, Fang Yu and Bai Ran paid no attention to the chattering crowd at the door.
Fang Yu walked directly to Niu Er who was lying on the floor and lifted him up with one hand.
At this moment, Niu Er’s face was covered in dirt, where was his previous ferocity now?
“If you want to live, tell me honestly, did you notice that girl and old man or not?” Fang Yu asked coldly.
“I really didn’t notice anything…” Niu Er answered with difficulty.
Fang Yu remained silent.
“Wait, wait! My bar has a surveillance camera at the entrance… with a wide angle… maybe it recorded the people you’re looking for…” Niu Er said urgently.
“Surveillance camera? Take me to see it immediately.” Fang Yu was startled and put Niu Er down.
At this moment, he remembered that before entering, he had seen many bottles hanging above the bar’s entrance as decoration.
The surveillance camera must be hidden among them, difficult to notice without careful observation.
Five minutes later, Fang Yu and Bai Ran stood in a room on the second floor of the bar, watching the content displayed on the monitor.
It contained surveillance footage from the entire previous day.
The bar’s surveillance camera had a wide angle, covering the street opposite, including that garbage bin.
Under Fang Yu’s command, Niu Er fast-forwarded through yesterday’s surveillance footage at 32x speed.
Soon, Fang Yu noticed something unusual and told Niu Er to stop.
The time was frozen at 11:30 AM yesterday. Opposite the bar, not far from the garbage bin, a hunched old man wearing tattered robes appeared.
The footage was very clear, showing a girl about 1.2-1.3 meters tall standing beside him.
This was the old man who had kidnapped Ling’er!
However, judging from her posture, Ling’er seemed to be controlled by some kind of spell.
The old man stood there with Ling’er, seemingly waiting for someone.
After seven or eight minutes, a figure wearing an emerald green robe with a hood walked toward them.
The old man bowed and scraped before this person, saying a long speech.
Afterward, he reached into the storage pouch at Ling’er’s waist, took out a token, walked to the garbage bin, and threw it in.
Upon returning, the hooded person took out another storage pouch and handed it to the old man.
The old man bowed repeatedly, then pushed Ling’er toward the hooded figure before turning and leaving.
After the old man left, the hooded person walked in the opposite direction of the street.
Ling’er followed as if bewitched, step by step.
Soon, both of them walked out of the surveillance camera’s field of view.
“So there was indeed an exchange… it seems this old man is a professional… but the identity of this buyer…” Fang Yu frowned deeply.
“Mr. Fang, this clue is still not enough. That person was wearing a hood, we have no idea what they look like…” Bai Ran said.
Fang Yu thought for a moment, looked at Niu Er in front of him, and asked: “Do you have any information you can provide?”
“No, no,” Niu Er shook his head repeatedly, his eyes avoiding contact.
“Slap!”
Fang Yu slapped Niu Er’s face, knocking several teeth out of his mouth.
“I don’t have much patience. This is the last time I’ll ask.” Fang Yu said.
“…That person’s clothing… looks very similar to what the masters at Sand God Temple wear… but I’m not certain…” Niu Er said painfully, covering his face.
Sand God Temple.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered.
“Next, I have a few more questions for you. As long as you answer truthfully, I promise I won’t do anything else to you.” Fang Yu looked at Niu Er and smiled.
…
As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked out of the bar with Niu Er following behind.
Now, they were preparing to go to the Qinglan Society.
From Niu Er’s account, Fang Yu learned the basic situation of Sand God Temple.
In general, Sand God Temple was the number one power in West City.
Any family, including the Martial Arts Association, could only bow their heads before Sand God Temple, or even kneel on the ground.
Because the vast majority of people in West City believed that there were truly deities inside Sand God Temple!
The existence of Sand God Temple intrigued Fang Yu.
About 400 years ago, he had lived in the northwestern region for a long time.
At that time, West City didn’t exist, and almost the entire northwest and southwest were deserts inhabited by nomadic tribes, without even a decent town.
Naturally, Sand God Temple didn’t exist then either.
This meant that the so-called Sand God Temple had only appeared in the last 300-400 years.
So, were there really deities inside?
In the current world, where even the Dragon Origin and Phoenix Origin had appeared, one couldn’t definitively say the Sand God didn’t exist.
But in Fang Yu’s view, the probability of it being a scam was much higher.
However, because he knew nothing about Ling’er’s situation, Fang Yu didn’t plan to force his way into Sand God Temple.
Through interrogating Niu Er, Fang Yu learned that entering Sand God Temple required a token.
And Niu Er’s boss, the leader of Qinglan Society, possessed such a token.
So, Fang Yu demanded that Niu Er take him to meet the Qinglan Society leader.
In the car, Niu Er wiped away the blood from his nose and glanced at Fang Yu and Bai Ran in the back seat through the rearview mirror, his eyes flashing with viciousness.
Having been beaten so badly by Fang Yu, his heart was full of resentment.
He had planned to report this matter to his commander after Fang Yu and Bai Ran left, seeking revenge.
But unexpectedly, Fang Yu actively requested to go to Qinglan Society’s headquarters!
Wasn’t this like buying his own coffin?!
Therefore, Niu Er immediately agreed.
Now, he just needed to take them to Qinglan Society’s headquarters!
His brothers would definitely avenge him!
About twenty minutes later, the jeep drove up to a massive but relatively low-rise building.
“This is our Qinglan Society headquarters. I’ll take you in to meet my boss now.” Niu Er said.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran followed behind Niu Er, walking straight into the building.
While walking toward the building, Niu Er’s eyes were full of hatred and malice.
Earlier in the car, he had secretly texted his brothers about the situation.
Inside headquarters, everyone must have prepared a big surprise for Fang Yu and Bai Ran!
