I Have Countless Clones

69 Senior Brother of the Martial Enforcement Hall

Seeing that he couldn’t touch Lin Shen, Luo Yi finally despaired. He shouted angrily and pounced toward Lin Shen, wanting to fight to the death with him.

Unfortunately, this idea was destined to not come true.

Lin Shen tapped the tip of his foot and flew backward as if he was pulled by a thread. He decisively escaped from the battle.

Luo Yi had the cat general to deal with. There was no need for Lin Shen to interfere in case the enemy retaliated before he died.

!!
Not long after, Luo Yi was covered in injuries due to the great disparity in strength. In the end, the cat general stabbed him in the chest. His eyes bulged, and his face was filled with unwillingness and despair. He fell to the ground and died!

Swoosh!

The cat general sheathed its sword and nodded at Lin Shen. Then, it looked at Ai and slowly disappeared into the air.

Lin Shen heaved a long sigh of relief and put away the God Seeking Token. He strode to Luo Yi and squatted down to search for the corpse.

As expected, Luo Yi didn’t have anything that could prove his identity or was related to his new boss.

Apart from a few spirit coins, there was only a small jade box.

Lin Shen opened it and saw a light gray plant about ten centimeters long. It looked a little like ginseng.

“What’s this?”

At some point, Ai had come to Lin Shen’s side. She sized up the gray plant in the jade box curiously, tilted her head, and muttered,

“This thing has a very dense spiritual energy, but it feels so cold.”

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows.

Ai was very sensitive to natural spiritual energy. Since she said so, this thing was most likely some kind of rare herb.

Furthermore, Luo Yi was carrying it with him so preciously, it must have some value!

Lin Shen decided to put it away first. He would think of a way to investigate the origin of this thing later.

After putting away the items, Lin Shen stood up and was about to use the Melting Liquid to deal with the corpse when he suddenly heard quick footsteps behind him. His heart skipped a beat.

Was it Luo Yi’s accomplice?

Lin Shen turned around warily, but the next moment, he was slightly stunned.

The people approaching him were wearing the same uniform. There was a mythological beast pattern embroidered on their chests. They were members of the Martial Enforcement Hall!

Moreover, the leader was an old acquaintance, the flag officer of the Martial Enforcement Hall whom Lin Shen had met twice.

After seeing Lin Shen’s face, Han Wu was also stunned. He hesitated, clearly finding Lin Shen very familiar.

“You are… a student of Willow Academy?”

“That’s right.”

Lin Shen nodded and thought,

“Alright, there was no need to get rid of the corpse now!”

Han Wu and the others quickly noticed the corpse at Lin Shen’s feet, and their expressions changed slightly. When they looked at Lin Shen again, their eyes were filled with scrutiny and vigilance.

It was Han Wu’s turn to lead the team on duty tonight.

Just as they were patrolling outside, they suddenly received news that cultivators were fighting on the streets in the East District. There were even spiritual beasts involved.

Hence, Han Wu immediately rushed over with his men. Who would have thought that he would see such a scene?

To be honest, if he hadn’t recognized Lin Shen as a student of Willow Academy, Han Wu would have already arrested him.

“What’s going on?”

Han Wu stared at Lin Shen solemnly.

From the looks of it, if he didn’t like Lin Shen’s answer, he would probably take Lin Shen down.

“This guy’s name is Luo Yi, the leader of the Night Grinders. He suddenly came to assassinate me tonight and said he was ordered by his new boss to take away my body.”

Lin Shen explained calmly, not panicking at all.

Luo Yi was a well-known wanted criminal on the Martial Enforcement Hall’s list, and he was the one who took the initiative to attack Lin Shen. Even if Lin Shen killed Luo Yi, it was justified self-defense. It wouldn’t even be considered excessive self-defense. There was no need to worry at all.

Upon hearing that the corpse on the ground was Luo Yi, the leader of the Night Grinders, Han Wu and the others were shocked. When they heard the rest of the story, their expressions changed.

Lin Shen also vaguely heard a young member of the Martial Enforcement Hall mutter, “It’s that group of bastards again.”

After checking the corpse and confirming that it was Luo Yi, Han Wu and the others immediately relaxed.

When they came back to their senses, they suddenly realized that something was amiss.

Luo Yi was a Long Breath Stage cultivator!

Although he was only at the first level of the Long Breath Stage, it was impossible for him to die at the hands of a Qi Transformation cultivator.

Could this young student be a Long Breath Stage cultivator?

Facing Han Wu and the others’ questioning gazes, Lin Shen shrugged and pretended to take something out of his pocket. He then waved the God Seeking Token at them.

“This thing saved my life.”

“This is… the God Seeking Token!”

After all, Han Wu was experienced and knowledgeable. He immediately recognized the origin of the token and was enlightened.

The clones summoned by the God Seeking Token were at least at the Long Breath Stage.

With this token, it wasn’t surprising that this young man could kill Luo Yi.

Only then did Han Wu realize he had yet to ask the name of the person in front of him. He casually asked,

“What’s your name?”

“I’m Lin Shen.”

Han Wu nodded slightly and suddenly reacted in the next second. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Shen.

“Your name is Lin Shen?”

The other members of the Martial Enforcement Hall also turned around and looked at Lin Shen with surprise and curiosity.

“He’s Lin Shen? The new chief disciple of the Nine Yang Academy this year?”

“It should be him. He’s a student from Willow Academy and is called Lin Shen. Apart from him, there’s no one else.”

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect to see the rumored commoner genius here!”

“It’s said he’s at the ninth level of the Qi Transformation realm, and his attainments in martial arts are even higher than the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. No wonder even… they took a fancy to him and especially sent a Long Breath Stage cultivator to attack him!”

“…”

Lin Shen didn’t expect that even the Martial Enforcement Hall knew about him. This news spread too quickly.

At this moment, Han Wu had already recovered from his shock. Seeing Lin Shen’s strange expression, he coughed lightly and said,

“There’s no need to be surprised. Many people in the Martial Enforcement Hall came from the Nine Yang Academy, so they naturally have a close relationship with the school. Therefore, they have always known some news earlier than other places. Speaking of which, I once cultivated in the Nine Yang Academy as well.”

Lin Shen recalled what Yang Zhongyi had once said and suddenly understood. He smiled at Han Wu.

“Senior Brother! Han”

“You flatter me.”

Han Wu waved his hand and sighed.

“Back then, I didn’t graduate from the Nine Yang Academy. In the fourth year, I was eliminated. Later, I joined the Martial Enforcement Hall and worked for seven to eight years before reaching my current position…”

As if feeling he shouldn’t talk about this to Lin Shen, Han Wu changed the topic.

“Leave this to us. Go back first. Be careful in the future. Try not to go out late at night. Those people might attack you!

“However, you don’t have to worry too much. Once you enter the Nine Yang Academy, you’ll be beyond their reach. They’ll never be bold enough to go after you in the Nine Yang Academy!

“By the way, my name is Han Wu. I’m the flag officer of the Martial Enforcement Hall. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Martial Enforcement Hall to look for me. Just mention my name.”

“I understand. Thank you, Senior Brother Han!”

After chatting with Han Wu for a while, Lin Shen bid farewell and left.

Ai stayed quietly at the side from the beginning to the end, remembering Lin Shen’s instructions. Don’t speak when there are outsiders around.

It was only when Lin Shen was about to leave that she obediently jumped onto his shoulder.

Han Wu and the others didn’t pay attention to Ai. They just thought it was an ordinary spiritual cat raised by Lin Shen.

In the blink of an eye, the man and cat disappeared into the night.
