Suddenly, a cry that was out of place came from the distance.


Lin Wen turned his head to look and saw a group of people coming from the mountainside.
There were more than ten men with dirty faces guarding a woman who was crying and stumbling towards them.

Behind them, more people kept gathering from the foot, back, and top of the mountain.
Obviously, they were another group of refugees.

They rushed towards this side, obviously having heard something.

Several leaders ran over and excitedly told them something, pointing to the corpses at the foot of the mountain.

The faces of these people changed, and suddenly a middle-aged man ran over and carefully looked at each corpse before waving his hand and shouting, ”It ’s those beasts! Yes, they ’re all dead! ”

Several people in the group broke down and cried, some cursing through their tears, ”Good riddance! ”

”Damn it! They should have died a long time ago! ”

Someone shouted, ”He is the immortal, he is! I read it in the newspaper! ”

”The immortal has become the sheriff! ”

”We are saved! ”

”Xiuyu, Xiuyu! Go find the immortal to save your child! ”

The woman stumbled over, crying, ”Immortal, please save my child! The flood washed away my home, the disease killed my man, and I only have my children left.
If they are gone, I will have nothing… ”

Tears flowed, and she couldn ’t finish her words.

The refugees quieted down and looked at the immortal in their eyes.

The immortal looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes closed, and a faint golden light shimmered and flowed around him, as if communicating with the heavens.

The silence lasted only for a dozen seconds before a large group of people ran over from behind.

As they ran, they shouted, ”The imperial army is here! The imperial army is here! ”

”The imperial army is coming to kill us! ”

”He is a fraud! He is a fraud! ”

”Don ’t believe him! It must be the imperial army he sent! ”


The crowd immediately became restless.
Some were half-believing, some were wavering, and some were still firm.

”You ’re talking nonsense! ”

”Don ’t talk nonsense! ”

”Are you a spy? ”

Just as the dispute was unresolved, the imperial army had arrived.

After all, they were well-trained soldiers and maintained their formation even as they ran towards them under Fang Dashan ’s leadership.

Fang Dashan shouted loudly, ”Go, go protect Sheriff Lin! ”

Facing nearly ten times as many refugees, although Fang Dashan was trembling from head to toe inside and out, he did not show any fear.
Instead, he became even more resolute and rushed forward.

If the local official was taken hostage or even killed in front of the imperial army, it would be brought to military court.
According to imperial law, Sheriff Lin had already issued a suppression order in this situation.
If the official was allowed to be killed, he would definitely be heavily punished, and if he was treasonous, he would most likely be sentenced to death.

Therefore, he had to show that he was fearless.
Even if he really had to start killing, according to imperial customs, it was far better than losing the official.

He always had a clear sense of priorities, so as soon as he arrived in Changle Town and heard that the sheriff had only taken a few people to the riot area, he immediately rushed over.

Fortunately, the situation was not the worst.While running frantically, Fang Dashan shouted loudly, ”Imperial army! Prepare for battle! Rebels! If you dare to harm Sheriff Lin even a hair, you will be killed without mercy! ”

This sentence had a huge reverse effect, and the refugees were suddenly in chaos.

”They are together! ”

”We have been deceived! ”

”I don ’t believe it! ”

”This can ’t be true! ”

”Great Immortal, please say something! ”

Someone even shouted fiercely, ”Let ’s kill this bastard first! We must have someone to back us up even if we die! ”

”There are tens of thousands of us! What are we afraid of! Let ’s charge together! ”

The crowd surged forward like a stored-up mountain flood.
With a loud click, Fang Dashan made the first gesture for battle, and three thousand people immediately released their safeties.
If the situation was not right, he would order them to shoot immediately.


At this moment, Lin Wen finally woke up from his ”sleep ”.
He opened his eyes, looked around, and immediately knew what had happened.
Shaking off a few people who wanted to grab him, his clear voice echoed through the valley once again.

”Compatriots! ”

He quietly strengthened the light and walked down the mountain at a moderate speed.

”Believe me! ”

With just this sentence, the refugees were a little calmer.
Many people looked at the light in Lin Wen ’s hand and burst into tears.

”Fang Dashan! ”

A loud voice rang out.

Fang Dashan was excited and immediately responded, ”Here! ”

Although he had done his best, his voice was still like a mosquito compared to Lin Wen ’s.

”Obey! ”

”Put down your weapons and wait in place! ”

Fang Dashan was overjoyed and immediately shouted loudly, ”Put down your weapons and wait in place! ”

He was the first to make this gesture, pulling the safety and leaving the gun on the ground.

With a click, three thousand people all pulled their safeties and left their guns on the ground, raising three thousand clouds of dust that drifted away with the breeze.

And in front of them, there was Lin Wen, shining with golden light like a god descending to earth.

Lin Wen turned around and raised his right hand.

”I am Sheriff Lin Wen of Changshan County! ”

”I will bring food, hot water, tents, medical care, medicine, as well as fairness, justice, and dignity. ”

”Anyone who insults you, tramples on you, or ignores you, will be killed without mercy! ”

”Even the gods cannot save them! I said it! ”

Like an eighteen-level hurricane sweeping over, it blew away all doubts and mistrust.
Those who didn ’t believe before now believed, and those who half-believed no longer doubted.
From believing to not believing, they became fanatical, and those who had always believed were no longer shaken by anything.


Only Fang Dashan looked at the golden light on Lin Wen ’s body with some doubt, then looked at the sky covered with leaden clouds without a trace of sun, feeling a little unbelievable.

Lin Wen quietly lowered the intensity of the golden light and said, ”Fang Dashan, leave a team behind to collect the weapons.
You don ’t need to bring them out.
The rest of you come with me. ”

He loudly said, ”Compatriots! Follow me. ”

The sound of tens of thousands of people responding was rare even to Fang Dashan.

Lin Wen led the way towards the other side of the mountain, and the refugees spontaneously gathered around him, with Imperial soldiers following at the back.

Fang Dashan squeezed his way over, wanting to flatter Lin Wen, but was stopped by a look from him.

As they marched, the refugees scattered and many people ran desperately, eager to spread the news and let more people know.Dozens of copies of the Empire ’s official newspaper were circulated among countless people, covered in dust and wrinkles.
The refugees in the outer circle tirelessly recounted the process and truth of all the events to newcomers, even though they repeated it many times, they still enjoyed it.

The inner circle was the most fanatical, they remained unmoved and followed Lin Wen, gazing up at his figure.

The group of people grew larger as they walked, and by the time they reached the embankment of Changpai Village, there were already seventy to eighty thousand people, with even more people passing on the message.

Lin Wen walked to the bottom of the embankment and randomly selected a group of people to accompany him up the embankment, letting the others wait at the bottom.

No one objected, they looked at Lin Wen with a pilgrimage gaze as he led his ”disciples ” up the embankment.

No one doubted what he was going to do.
If the Great Immortal said he was looking for hope, then he was looking for hope.
If he found the child, it naturally represented that hope would not be lost.
If he didn ’t find the child, then hope had already been in everyone ’s hearts.

Only the mother of the child, Xiuyu, remained extremely nervous.
She no longer doubted the authenticity of the Great Immortal, and believed that the Great Immortal could help her find her child, but she was afraid that the children had already died, and the Great Immortal would find their bones.

Her extreme worry made it almost impossible for her to walk.
If someone didn ’t support her, she wouldn ’t be able to climb the embankment.

After climbing the embankment, the surging river water flowed towards them, and the already cold wind cut like a knife, but no one felt uncomfortable.
They were all excited to witness a miracle.

Lin Wen felt a little nostalgic.
This was where he had fought hard, but unfortunately, he had not been able to successfully reincarnate.

But it didn ’t matter.
Soon, he would reincarnate with even more good karma, gain a stronger start, and with countless opportunities and luck, he would defeat all the immortals and gods.

When he saw the monument carved for him on the embankment, he couldn ’t help but curl his lips.
The titles of benevolence, righteousness, and mercy were almost like a bodhisattva, and the title of Hunyuan Poguang was simply too tacky.
Lin Wen didn ’t want to acknowledge such titles.

What he wanted was a title that was majestic and domineering, with the ambition to kill in all directions, and sweep across the world.

Forget it.

Lin Wen didn ’t dwell on it too much.
After all, it was a monument in the physical world, and it wasn ’t useful.


He walked towards the upstream of the embankment, where there was a small mountain called Qingfeng Mountain.
During his time guarding the embankment, Lin Wen had slept in a cave here for a few days.

The three children were in this cave.

This was the answer that Lin Wen had obtained through great difficulties.
When he first asked ”Immortal Guidance ” where the children had gone, no matter how he asked, it was a huge cost.

This made him puzzled.
Were the three children abducted by immortals, or did they successfully cross over? Why did it take so much good karma to ask where they were?

And if he didn ’t find them, it wouldn ’t be good.
Not to mention how much suspicion it would bring him, the heartbroken mother would make his thoughts unclear.

After much deliberation, Lin Wen suddenly realized that when he was studying spells, there was a spell that was almost identical to ”Immortal Guidance. ”

”Ask the Way from Heaven. ”

The only difference between them was that the former answered subjective questions, while the latter answered objective questions.

If you look at it this way, the existence of the children should be an objective fact, not an abstract thing that varies from person to person.

Answering objective facts with abstract questions might be crossing ”platforms, ” which would lead to a surge in costs.

As expected, this question only cost 10% of his spiritual energy when he tried it.But due to Lin Wen ’s elemental spirit only having 4% left, he could only use the spell reluctantly by spending 13 points of good karma.

Fortunately, Lin Wen ’s thoughts turned quickly, and he solved the problem in an instant.

If he hesitated a little longer, the bloody conflict might have already happened.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Maybe his bad karma would skyrocket instantly, ruining his cultivation plan.

He still wasn ’t proficient in using spells.

Lin Wen thought fiercely.

He must practice harder when he goes back.
He must memorize every word in the spells, and every spell ’s effect and consumption must be imprinted in his mind.
Otherwise, if he used the wrong spell during a battle, it might lead to his defeat at a critical moment, or even death.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

As his thoughts turned, Lin Wen skillfully jumped and stepped over the rocks and trees, jumped into the cave, and found the three children.

Their small bodies were huddled in a corner of the cave.
Their tattered clothes were covered in dirt and dried water stains.
Their exposed skin was full of scratches and bruises.
Obviously, the person who kidnapped them was not as skilled as Lin Wen in entering and exiting the cave, and it was quite difficult for them.

The three children were sound asleep.
They were only five or six years old, an older brother and two younger sisters.
They were all thin and had needle marks on their small arms, obviously drugged with anesthetic.

Lin Wen ’s face sank, knowing that he had to give these three children a comprehensive examination when he went back, hoping that nothing would happen to them.

Later, he would let the supervisory office investigate thoroughly.
Among those spies, it was the scum who did this.
He would give him special treatment when the time comes.
