Chapter 442: Leaving Alone
Although Gushui Town is a small place, the Fang Family is still considered to be an affluent family with heritage homes and ancestral halls, where generations of Fang Family lived.
However, the grand residence of the Fang Family, previously located at the best spot in Gushui Town, has now turned into ruins. A raging fire consumed the entire residence of the Fang Family overnight.
At this moment, some people from the Purple Mist Sect are clearing up the ruins, pulling out charred bodies from the rubble.
Fang Lin’s expression darkened to the extreme. Not only did the Li Family commit murder, but they also set fire to the Fang’s ancestral home, making the deceased of the Fang Family unrecognisable.
Fang Yang shook uncontrollably upon observing the charred bodies lying on the ground, he was on the brink of collapse.
“Ahh!!!” Fang Yang bellowed in despair, and abruptly fell on his knees, kowtowing in front of the corpses of the Fang Family members.
Fang Lin did not stop him. At this moment, he himself was suppressing a surge of fury. His fists clenched, ready to tear apart any members of the Li Family, if they dared to appear before him.
“You have arrived, sigh.” An elder from the Purple Mist Sect showed up, looked at Fang Lin and Fang Yang, and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
Fang Lin took a deep breath, walked over to the bodies. More than a dozen bodies were charred beyond recognition, the others were relatively intact.
Although the faces of those dozen bodies were indistinguishable, there were still ways to discern their age and identity.
“Don’t look anymore. Your parents are not among these people, it appears they have escaped this calamity.” The elder from Purple Mist Sect said.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin felt slightly relieved. The bodies of his parents in this life were not found, perhaps they were still alive.
Of course, there was another possibility that Fang Lin did not want to consider, that they might have fallen into the hands of the Li Family members.
Regardless, the possibility of Fang Lin’s parents being alive is high.
On the other hand, Fang Yang quickly found the bodies of his parents, already cold. Fang Yang, holding the bodies of his parents, wept and screamed hysterically.
Fang Lin did not feel good about it. Fang Yang was adored by the elders of the Fang Family and often bullied Fang Lin.
However, now the Fang Family was in grave trouble, the family members were all dead, and only the two of them were left alive.
“Fang, I want to avenge!!!” Fang Yang, after crying for a while, suddenly said to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin clenched his fists: “Of course, I will seek revenge. I won’t spare any of the murderers!”
Fang Yang sobbed uncontrollably: “It’s the Li Family! The Li Family was the one who destroyed the Fang Family!”
Fang Lin stepped forward, placed his hand on Fang Yang’s shoulder, and said with an extraordinarily serious expression: “Even if it’s the Li Family, they have to pay the price!”
Looking at Fang Lin, Fang Yang again fell onto his knees on the ground and tightly embraced the bodies of his parents.
Fang Lin couldn’t bear to watch this scene anymore and began looking around the ruins.
Suddenly Fang Lin noticed that some people nearby were examining this place. As soon as these people saw him looking at them, they quickly averted their eyes.
Fang Lin snorted coldly as these people clearly had a gleeful look on their faces. His heart burned with anger.
“Who are these thieves? Stay right there!” Fang Lin acted immediately without saying anything else. Like a beast, he was in front of these people in the blink of an eye.
The suspicious quartet tried to escape on seeing this, but Fang Lin didn’t give them any chance to escape. He brought out his bone club and swung it directly.
Four screams resonated as Fang Lin broke their legs with his club. The four of them fell to the ground, hugging their legs, screaming and shouting.
Fang Lin, with an indifferent expression, swung his bone club again, breaking the arms of all four men.
The pain nearly knocked the four men unconscious, they wailed uncontrollably, their faces were full of rage and fear.
“What is going on?” The commotion brought Elder Ge and the others over. Seeing Fang Lin had thrown four unfamiliar faces to the ground, they all frowned slightly.
“These four men are acting suspiciously, I suspect they are from the Li Family.” Fang Lin coldly stated while frisking the four men.
Indeed, Fang Lin found the Identity Jade of the Li Family members on them.
“Li Family scoundrels! I am going to kill you all!” Fang Yang, furious, lunged at the four Li Family members with the intent to kill them.
Fang Lin stopped him, then stared at the four men and asked coldly, “What are you four doing here?”
“Young Fang Lin, you probably don’t know yet! Your parents have been taken by our Li Family, they are now suffering torture. If you dare touch us, your parents will be doomed!” The four of them glared at Fang Lin with cold eyes. Despite having their arms and legs broken by Fang Lin, they still seemed extremely smug.
Fang Lin gave an “oh” sound, his face turned even colder, and with one swing of his club, he smashed one of the men’s heads to pieces. Bits of red and white spattered everywhere.
“Don’t! Don’t kill us!” The remaining three men were frightened. They had not expected Fang Lin to be so ruthless as to directly kill one of their companions.
“I will give you a chance to live, tell me everything you know.” Fang Lin, with no change in his expression, said.
“I’ll say, our Li Family did indeed exterminate the Fang Family, your parents are now being held captive by the Li Family. We came here to see if you, Fang Lin, would show up.” The three men rushed words out.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lin felt a heavy weight on his heart. His parents in this life were indeed captured by the Li Family. Such news was extremely adverse for him.
“Fang Lin, if you let us go, your parents will be unharmed.” Seeing that Fang Lin was silent, the three men asked tentatively.
Fang Lin looked at them and asked again, “Where are they being held?”
The three men shook their heads. They only knew that Fang Lin’s parents were held captive, but they did not know where.
Seeing these three had no idea, Fang Lin stopped talking to them, and directly smashed the heads of all three. Without any hesitation, his eyelids did not even flutter throughout.
“They got off too easy with just death!” Fang Yang growled through gritted teeth.
Elder Ge furrowed his brows and said, “Fang Lin, although we know your parents are in the Li Family’s hands now, it’s not the time to act rashly. We need to plan this carefully.”
Fang Lin nodded. He did not need anyone to remind him that he should not let his rage cloud his judgement.
“Fang Yang, you stay here and handle the aftermath for the family. I need to step out for a while.” Fang Lin said to Fang Yang.
Upon hearing these words, Elder Ge looked worried and advised, “Fang Lin, even if you want to seek revenge, you must measure your own capabilities.”
Fang Lin calmly replied, “Elder, rest assured, I know what I should do. I am just stepping out for a while to take care of some affairs, not doing anything to the Li Family.”
Elder Ge did not believe him and shook his head, “You better stay here. I won’t feel at ease if you go out alone.”
Fang Lin had no choice but to drop the matter of going out alone.
But at night, Fang Lin sneaked out of Gushui Town alone. No one noticed his departure.
