Chapter 1816 - 1808: Killing Intent
Previously.
Bu Xuan also came from the Reserve Team.
Only later did he enter the National Security Bureau!
He is familiar with the situation here, so Lin Tian wasn’t surprised.
"What is Wushuang Mountain? A place you prepared in advance?"
Lin Tian retracted his gaze from the distant city and asked Bu Xuan, who was driving in front.
"Captain, how could that be! Wushuang Mountain is a unique place at the junction of the suburban northwest and city center of Mizhou City!"
Bu Xuan glanced back and explained to Lin Tian, "Because many luxurious residences gather there, along with many stand-alone courtyard houses, the environment is very elegant! Our Reserve Team has a small courtyard there, and Group Leader Gu has arranged for you to stay there. You’ll definitely love it when you get there!"
"That couldn’t be better!"
Lin Tian, who preferred not to be disturbed, nodded in satisfaction.
Soon.
The car passed the Bay Bridge.
Then followed the peninsula coast highway to the northwest.
In less than half an hour.
A huge mountain range appeared in view.
Amidst the green trees, luxurious houses and buildings loomed in and out between the trees.
"Captain, this is Wushuang Mountain!"
Bu Xuan drove the car along the city’s avenue at the foot of the mountain range, pointing at the mountain range in front, and said to Lin Tian, "This is one of the largest affluent areas in Mizhou City! However, those villas are nothing. Group Leader Gu previously instructed me, the place where you will live is in a single courtyard by Beiling Lake, the most luxurious one, and the environment is unparalleled!"
The most luxurious?
Lin Tian was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "As long as there’s a place to stay, that’s enough!"
He had weathered winds and lived outdoors more times than he could remember.
For a cultivator, cultivation is everything, and the living environment doesn’t matter much.
As long as it avoids disruptions from others and wild animals, and provides shelter from wind and rain, it’s fine!
Soon, the car stopped by a lake on the northern side of Wushuang Mountain.
This should be the Beiling Lake that Bu Xuan mentioned!
Not far from the lakeshore, there was a single courtyard.
An ancient-style building, exuding an antique charm.
It wasn’t luxurious, but it conveyed elegance and a sense of history.
The city road running through the forested mountain linked several houses together on the other side of the lake.
"Not bad, the environment is nice!"
Lin Tian smiled and nodded lightly.
"Uh... Captain, Group Leader Gu said it was luxurious. I didn’t expect this! And there are other homes around; will that bother you?"
Bu Xuan was dumbfounded, caught off guard.
Before coming here.
Gu WanYin had told him there was a very luxurious single courtyard based on the address.
Surprisingly, apart from this courtyard, there were other buildings around, implying that many people lived here.
This was a cluster of buildings!
Bu Xuan was also a bit helpless, smiling bitterly at Lin Tian, "Captain, shall I find a better place for you? How can this be suitable for your stay?"
In Bu Xuan’s eyes, Lin Tian was not only a person he deeply respected, but also the Deputy Leader of the Superpower Group of the National Security Bureau, possessing incomparably profound strength!
Such a person.
His identity is not simple!
In his view, how could this place accommodate such a person?
"Doesn’t matter where I stay?"
Lin Tian gave Bu Xuan a sidelong look and said, "Moreover, aren’t there other Reserve Team members coming to meet me? If I don’t stay here, they might not find me!"
"True enough..."
Bu Xuan scratched his head, looking innocent.
He felt that letting Lin Tian stay here was beneath his status!
"Alright! You can go now!"
Lin Tian waved his hand and walked toward the courtyard, saying, "Whenever you need to check the situation at Jiao Zhou Ridge for possible zombies, come find me!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Bu Xuan wasted no time, saluted, and then drove away skillfully.
Lin Tian entered the house, took a round trip, and found the interior indeed much more luxurious than it appeared from the outside.
"They weren’t wrong, it’s indeed very luxurious!"
He whispered softly, sitting on the bedside in the room, pulling out a leather pouch.
However.
Looking at the pouch in his hand, Lin Tian seemed to remember something, took out his phone, and made a call.
He called An Ya.
Her documents, bank cards, and other things were still with him.
As soon as the call went through, An Ya’s somewhat tired yet clear voice came through: "Hello, who is this?"
"Hi, beautiful screenwriter, I’ve arrived in Mizhou City!"
Lin Tian smiled and said directly: "Your stuff is with me, if you’re free, you can come and get it anytime!"
"Ah... it’s you!"
An Ya paused for a moment, then said with surprise and delight, "You’re the Lin Tian I met at the breakfast shop, right? My stuff was left with you. I only realized I took the wrong bag after I left, it surely troubled you!"
"No trouble at all! I just happened to come to Mizhou City!"
Lin Tian chuckled lightly, "You mentioned last time, if I came to Mizhou City, you would treat me!"
"Haha, of course! Am I a stingy person? Order whatever you want!"
An Ya responded confidently, "But I’m currently in Penglai City, it’ll be a couple of days before I return. I’ll call you then! Really, I’m sorry!"
"Alright, it’s settled then!"
Lin Tian exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up the phone.
On the way, he had been thinking about examining the array secret in the file folder.
Taking out the document, looking at the seal on the envelope, Lin Tian’s Divine Sense enveloped it.
"Troublesome! It requires some materials! This seal isn’t simple; it seems there’s an array expert within the Cultivation Alliance! This seal is a physical imprint, very special, requiring some things to dilute and weaken it..."
After fiddling for a few minutes, Lin Tian found the seal on the envelope a bit tricky, and couldn’t help sighing.
Seeing it was only dusk outside, he got up and walked out of the house, heading toward the city at the foot of the mountain.
Scanning with Divine Sense, he found the nearest pharmacy.
Sea Mite Fat!
Muttering lightly to himself, Lin Tian entered the pharmacy and inquired about this particular herbal medicine.
It’s a type of poison!
Strictly speaking, it can’t be termed poison; however, it’s extremely corrosive, able to silently erode anything imbued with spiritual energy.
Fortunately, the pharmacy did have Sea Mite Fat, usually used for special herbal medicines.
With the item in hand, Lin Tian returned.
Walking leisurely back along the dimly lit cobblestone alleyways of the city.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Tian halted at a corner.
Because from ahead came a strong scent of blood and an intense killing intent rushing toward him.
In the next moment.
A black figure charged directly into his embrace.
"Get out of the way!"
At the same time, a sharp shout echoed, followed by a piercing attack aimed at his throat.
A female voice, tall figure, yet attacked fiercely and viciously, executing fatal moves.
