THE WAY OF ETERNITY
Ch 20's. Lin Xiong's

**

On the way this time they spurred the horses quickly for a full day, they only stopped for a while to rest and feed their horses a drink. There were only two small villages that they had passed through this prosperous Leiyun mountain range that meandered long stretches of length intertwined like a giant snake.

The morning came again, they stopped because tonight they only rested for two hours.

“one more day we will arrive at the Crescent Sect it is good for us to rest here, however we have entered the mountainous region of Leiyun” Luo Shin opened the conversation

“let us rest our horses - our horses ahead seem to be a small river there” Long Ming chimed

They came down from the horse and led him to his destination.

A – burly man with twenty guards was standing tall with a fierce look, before him was plastered inn that had turned to ashes. Only a few debris – debris left.

“Quickly check if there is a hint” , the head of the bodyguard ordered some of his men to browse through the remaining debris – debris.

Moments later the bodyguards returned and reported that only a few bodies had been found badly damaged by the fire. Besides there were no clues found, all were devoured by fire.

“quickly find where is the basement of this inn” the burly man ordered all his guards.

The burly – man was Lin Xiong, he was the chairman of the Golden Leaf Organization. Her fierce stature with a stocky body and multiple scars on her bald face and head, showed that she had gone through many deadly fights.

All the guards immediately split up looking for the location of the door to the basement. An inch after another area of the inn that had been covered in dust and debris was tightly combed. Until one of the guards finally found the door to the basement.

“ten people stay outside to keep watch, the rest follow me inside, report quickly if there is anything suspicious ” Lin Xiong orders to his men by showing his authority

They began to descend one by one starting from the head of the bodyguard continued by Lin Xiong and the nine bodyguards behind him.

The stuffy underground air made it harder for them to explore the basement.

In the basement Lin Xiong found five bodies that had begun to change color and emit odors.

Lin Xiong shook his head at the condition of the corpse lying on the floor. He recognized the corpse of – the corpse.

“this is the corpse of the innkeeper Madam along with her three bodyguards, who there is the corpse of Wang Na. These people were killed, and the assassins besides using the sword seemed to be using poison” Lin Xiong was analyzing the conditions in the underground chamber, it looks like a lot of poison was used and he concluded that the attacker was also an expert at using poison so several times exchanged attacks with Wang Na. What was most puzzling to him was the identity of the poison master who had killed Wang Na, he knew all the poison masters present in the area around the inn.

“the poison used is the same as the poison produced in the poison valley sect, does Wang Na have enemies within the poison valley sect. Otherwise how would that person be able to use poison without experiencing the effects of the poison was ” Lin Xiong was even more confused.

“Check this whole place “ order

After all the corners and rooms were checked there was only a clue that the storage ring of the Great Mistress was missing.

“can be so this is a group of robbers working together with poison masters, but who would dare to do it here” speculation began to develop in Lin Xiong's mind.

Finally Lin Xiong and his men came out from the basement. He began to order whether there were any treasures left in that place. He began to confirm his assumption.

The chief bodyguard reported that not a single spirit stone was found in the area.

“quickly search for information where the gang of robbers in this area, we must find the culprit immediately” Lin Xiong fiercely told the head of the guard to move his men. He was worried if this matter was known to the Poison Valley Sect .
