Chapter 376: Sometimes the Dead Are More Useful Than the Living
Lin Yun asked coldly. The He Family leader, his limbs already broken by Little Ape, was completely powerless to resist.
"Haha! You want to know? I can tell you," the leader said with a loud laugh.
"The Bai Family sent me..." A smile played on his lips. The moment he finished speaking, the He Family leader swallowed the poison he had kept hidden in his mouth. He instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his breathing stopped.
As Lin Yun watched the man die right before his eyes, the dozen or so remaining He Family Martial Artists simultaneously swallowed the poison in their mouths, dying one after another.
"Heh, interesting." These were all Deadpools cultivated by the He Family. Watching them all commit suicide by poison, Lin Yun gave a slight smile. ’No doubt about it. The lookout outside must have killed himself too.’
He slowly walked to the door and gently pushed it open. Just as he’d expected, the He Family Martial Artist on watch outside, knowing there was no escape, had also taken poison and died.
"Thank you to the Bai Family for your protection. Please, show yourselves," he called out into the dark courtyard. As his voice faded, over twenty Bai Family guards appeared one by one.
Their leader was the young woman from before. Upon seeing Lin Yun, she first bowed and then said, "Young Master Lin, you must have been frightened. This was due to the Bai Family’s negligence. I hope you won’t take offense."
Looking at the young woman before him, who was about his own age, Lin Yun smiled faintly. "It’s fine. They were just a few petty thieves. Would you be willing to come in for a moment? I have a few things I’d like to ask you."
Having gone to all this trouble, Lin Yun obviously hadn’t done it just to kill a few Deadpools. He had more important business to attend to—that was the real goal.
