Chapter 226 Governor Lu
Chapter 226 Governor Lu
Ho Ming also took the opportunity to take a pill to recuperate his Qi and energy.
Jian Xin could only look on with envy.
He had no Blood and Qi Restoration pills left.
And from the looks of it, this 'Guo He Ru' and Ho Ming's pill bottles were still full of pills.
"Your head is bleeding. Are you sure you don't want to heal it?" Lin Fan pointed to the bloodied face of Jian Xin.
Jian Xin quickly cooked up an excuse. "I... uh... My master, the Sword Saint, believes in slowly healing the wounds so that we can remember our mistakes."
"Good on you for listening to your master," Lin Fan said.
He turned and checked on what was happening.
Survivors were trying to make sense of what happened.
Some were crying with the bodies of their loved ones in their laps.
Small kids who had lost their parents wandered onto the streets trying to seek help.
But everyone already had their hands full.
"Help me!"
"Where's my father?"
"Have you seen a woman and a kid with a kite around?"
They were trying to seek their loved ones.
Constables and soldiers finally started to take charge and cleared the streets.
"Let's go and check on Ho Jie and Daoist Master Lee," Lin Fan said.
Ho Ming nodded, and they went on their way.
"Wait, what about me?" Jian Xin said as he tried to get up.
But he couldn't, as he was still weak.
Lin Fan thought for a moment.
"I could spare you this, but do you have anything in return?" Lin Fan took out a Blood and Qi Restoration pill and said.
"I only have a tael of silver with me," Jian Xin said.
Lin Fan shook his head; he wasn't interested in money.
His gold bars were still in his toad statue.
Cough.
Jian Xin coughed out blood, and he knew he didn't have much choice.
He took out a small box that was the size of a ring box and opened it.
A pill that had a shiny surface was inside it.
Smoke filled the air with the burning raging on.
Lin Fan went further into the ancestor hall.
There he could see Sima Liang and other members of his family holding swords, keeping alert.
The formation array held up and protected them.
"Sima Liang, are you all right?" Lin Fan asked.
"I'm all right; most of the family is safe," Sima Liang replied. He continued and asked, "What's the situation outside now?"
"We've destroyed the Nether Devouring Soul Array, and the disciples have mostly been taken care of."
Sima Liang sighed with huge relief.
Finally, this nightmare was over, he thought.
"I must go and get back to Qing Feng Sect now."
After making sure that Sima Liang was safe, Lin Fan bid farewell to him and went on his way.
They had a lot of rebuilding to be done.
On his way, he glanced at the Governor's residence, and he decided to check on the Governor.
After all, the governor had promised him a reward of fifty gold bars and a Golden Core Ascension pill.
The guards weren't around outside the perimeter anymore, and the place was eerily quiet.
Bodies lay all over the ground.
There were the bodies of disciples, servants, and guards.
Lin Fan took out his Dragon's Roar Spear and slowly stepped inside.
His footsteps were muted as he stepped onto the ground drenched with blood.
When he got to the guest room, the usually neat and tidy room was unrecognizable.
Everything was in a mess.
Furniture was thrown all over the place; the plants and vases were broken.
Lin Fan shook his head as he ventured deeper into the Governor's Residence.
He activated his Sound Memory ability and tried to look for Governor Lu.
At first, he couldn't hear anything else except for the screams and cries in the distance.
Nothing much except for the flickering of fire and insects in the Governor's Residence.
The Governor had to be somewhere, he thought.
