Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Trying to Steal a Chicken, Only to Lose the Rice

Never mind Chang Jing; no one else at the scene knew what was happening either—except, of course, for the men Lin Yun had sent.

Gong Lingqi’s ten subordinates were completely bewildered when they saw Lin Yun’s ten men charge in. Once the two sides clashed, Gong Lingqi’s men quickly lost track of who was an ally and who was one of Lin Yun’s people.

In contrast, Lin Yun’s men each carried a sachet. The fragrance allowed them to easily distinguish between their own people and Gong Lingqi’s.

In the ensuing melee, three of Chang Jing’s men and two of Gong Lingqi’s men were quickly killed. As for Lin Yun’s side, not a single person died.

"They have a strange scent on them! Kill anyone who smells of it!" By now, Gong Lingqi’s men in black had also noticed the fragrance, and one of them roared the order.

They had only just discovered the scent, but it was too late. Lin Yun’s ten men had already achieved their objective. Using the night and the surrounding chaos as cover, they escaped with ease.

Such a fierce battle was naturally noticed by the Elders of Flawless Palace and Luo Feng. Although Chang Jing still didn’t know what Lin Yun was up to, he knew he had to leave immediately.

"Withdraw," he hissed, and Chang Jing was the first to melt into the darkness.

Following Chang Jing’s command, everyone retreated under the cover of night. However, because time was short, they had no choice but to leave the bodies on the ground.

Before long, two Main Seat Elders arrived. The moment they entered the courtyard, they saw the six bodies on the ground. Three belonged to Chang Jing’s group, two to Gong Lingqi’s, and the last was one of the four people Chang Jing had been trying to kill.

"This..." Six people dead, just like that. While the identities of the two in Night Travel Clothes couldn’t be confirmed, the other four were all Direct Disciples.

A matter of this magnitude naturally had to be reported to Luo Feng.
