Chapter 374: Midnight Assassination
After feeling down for a moment, Lin Yun quickly put the matter of money out of his mind. After all, there was no use worrying about it. Focusing on increasing his strength was what truly mattered.
He entered his room. From the furnishings and decorations, it was clear that the residence the Bai Family had prepared for him was truly exquisite. It could probably be considered one of their finest guest rooms.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Yun began his daily cultivation. Although the effects of the Three-Stars Qi Essence Pills were steadily diminishing, Lin Yun never slacked on his daily practice.
Time flew by during cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, it was midnight. By this time, most of the Bai Family had either fallen into a deep sleep or were cultivating themselves.
Unbeknownst to anyone, more than a dozen shadowy figures had quietly infiltrated the Bai Family estate. Hiding in the darkness, the leader asked the subordinate beside him, "Have you confirmed the location?"
"Yes. There’s no mistake," the subordinate replied in a low voice.
Bai Ling had planted spies in the He Family, and naturally, the He Family had done the same to the Bai Family. Based on the intelligence they had gathered, the He Family Guards already knew the location of Lin Yun’s residence.
The He and Bai families could be said to be locked in both open and secret strife. The two sides clashed in every domain, from financial power to martial might, fighting to a standstill.
Already knowing Lin Yun’s location, the He Family Martial Artists moved silently toward his courtyard, skillfully avoiding the Bai Family’s guards along the way.
Bai Ling certainly had her own methods. Though she had guessed the He Family’s plan, she didn’t inform any of the Bai Family guards. Instead, she had that young woman lead a small group of elites to lie in ambush around Lin Yun’s courtyard, preparing to spring a trap.
