You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?
Chapter 775 775: 193, Marry to Murder
As time passed day by day, life seemed to settle down, and the news of Borros's death gradually spread out.
Warlords from all over the East Continent and even the biggest warlord, the President in Beijing, had heard about Lin Yue, the Contractor in Yihai City. Besides sending representatives to visit, they were also secretly investigating the Divine he worshipped.
Ever since the civil war broke out in Beijing, with the death of the former President, the largest warlord faction in the East Continent had spectacularly splintered, plunging the East Continent into a chaotic struggle of warlord rule.
Various sects from the West Continent also quietly sent missions to support different warlords, making the war situation even more chaotic.
Seizing territory, plundering, kidnapping, proselytizing...
Apart from powerful armies, the support of strong sects and Contractors was necessary to have the right to rule a region.
Being able to kill Borros, a Bishop of the Sun Church, even without him bringing a large number of followers to preside over sacrifices, was enough to demonstrate Lin Yue's strength.
Furthermore, the tens of thousands of troops led by Marshal Lu had also settled in Yihai City, and this force was already enough to occupy the Yihai City area. The surrounding warlords also recognized this place as having a master.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Troops from several warlords of the Northern Territory had also arrived in Yihai City and were received by the new Marshal Chen appointed in Yihai City.
And Lin Yue had no intention of appearing; he was simply in seclusion, sensing the Divine that his body had transformed into.
Ever since connecting with his body, he had been able to control his body at any time again.
This was naturally completely different from other Contractors.
If it weren't for the restrictions of the world's rules, he could not only continue his Enlightenment but even remerge with his body.
Yet under the restrictions, his seclusion was only for the purpose of comprehending the Law of this world.
The foundational Heaven and Earth Law of both Eternal Night and Yanfu worlds was different.
Fortunately, the Ultimate Path was highly inclusive. Thus, he only needed to slightly modify the many Paths he had mastered in the past.
As for those visitors?
Unless they were visitors from the West Continent Church, like Borros, he wouldn't see any of the local forces from the East Continent.
Black Moon showed no reaction to the local Divine; even if he killed them, it would be pointless.
The Lord of Yanfu wanted him to kill the Ancient Gods worshipped by the West Continent Church and remove these invaders. Naturally, he could not let him kill his own people, so he had no interest in meeting them.
Due to his presence, the Lin Family also greatly benefited, and people constantly sought an audience in the Yihai City area.
Lin Yue simply moved out of the Lin Family residence, out of sight, out of mind.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
That day.
"Mr. Lin, a serious matter has occurred!"
In the courtyard of Lin Yue's secluded residence, the newly appointed Marshal Chen was kneeling tremblingly inside the courtyard, saying with a head full of cold sweat: "I am useless, Mr. Lin. This morning, my subordinates guarding the Lin residence told me that your father and elder brother have both suddenly disappeared!"
"Oh?"
A calm voice came from inside the house: "Disappeared?"
"Yes," Marshal Chen said with a tremor in his voice: "As soon as I received the news, I immediately came to see you, and I have already notified the army to search. But Yihai City has been in a lockdown since yesterday, and the troops at the Lin residence also said they did not see anyone leave..."
The door opened, and Lin Yue came out with a calm expression and asked, "Why was Yihai City locked down yesterday?"
Marshal Chen was slightly taken aback, unprepared for Mr. Lin's cold composure.
His brother and father had disappeared, and yet he was not in the slightest hurry?
He felt a bit more at ease and immediately said: "Because yesterday, the largest warlord in the Southwest, Marshal Cao, sent people over with a very arrogant attitude. I followed Mr. Lin's instructions not to submit or bow down to any side. So, I gave a little lesson to Cao Xin's men and had them bring back a message, letting Cao Xin understand that we in Yihai City are not afraid of him."
Lin Yue quietly listened.
This was indeed what he had instructed; he did not care about these mundane warlords.
Especially for a warlord like Cao Xin, who relied on the local Divine of the East Continent, Lin Yue was even less interested.
"I suspect that Mr. Lin's father and brother were taken away secretly by Marshal Cao's men."
Marshal Chen said somberly: "Among the people sent by Marshal Cao yesterday, there were members of the Witch God Sect. It is said that the Witch God Sect possesses strange Spells that command ghosts and that Marshal Cao's wealth is partly because the sect uses Five Ghosts Transport to amass wealth for him."
"Witch God Sect?" Lin Yue appeared thoughtful.
Marshal Chen could not help but ask: "Mr. Lin, it's almost certain that Cao Xin is behind this. Do you want me to send someone to negotiate with Cao Xin? And look for an opportunity to rescue them?"
Lin Yue pondered silently.
After all, it was his biological father and brother in this world. Although he wasn't particularly emotionally attached, he would still save them if possible.
As long as it didn't waste much Power.
Every bit of Power used by his body also pushed his Divine Soul closer to collapse; otherwise, he would have directly attacked the West Continent with the help of his body by now.
He needed to use the right Power at the right time.
Therefore, he could not constantly release his Divine Thought to watch over Father Lin; such continuous drain on the Divine Soul was too costly.
"Witch God Sect, huh?"
Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and the tips of his nails shortened by a small fraction.
Afterward, a tremendous Divine Thought suddenly expanded outwards.
He had left Divine Thought imprints on some objects on his father and brother, and now his Divine Thought spread in the direction of those objects. Barely diffusing two or three thousand li, he located the position of the objects.
