179: Put him down, I'll go with you.

Just as 0827 was about to take Wang Xingche away from here, a firm voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Wait, put him down. I'll go with you."

0827 immediately turned his head and found that the person who said this was Liu XinFan.

"Ah Fan-ge, are you crazy?" Liu Ming was extremely startled, his eyes wide open. He reached out and tugged at Liu XinFan's sleeve, as if trying to hold him back.

"I'm not crazy." Liu XinFan shook his head at him, reassuring him, then looked up at 0827 again and said, "Don't you just need a guinea pig? Let him go, I'll take his place."

0827 never expected someone to voluntarily step forward. A hint of amusement appeared in his eyes: "Interesting, interesting... Heh heh..."

"Ah Fan-ge, you can't go!" Liu Ming had just been reluctant to let Liu XinFan touch him, but seeing Liu XinFan about to sacrifice himself, how could he not stop him?

"Liu family's, you..." Wang Xingge stared blankly at Liu XinFan, not understanding what he was trying to do.

Wang Xingge was, after all, Wang Xingche's biological brother, but Liu XinFan had no relation to them whatsoever!

Why would he?

"Take me out." Liu XinFan didn't make a statement to any of them, merely said coldly to 0827.

"Good." 0827 released Wang Xingche and clapped his hands at Liu XinFan, seemingly admiring his actions. "I've caught so many people, but you're the first to voluntarily offer to come with me."

Liu XinFan's gaze shifted slightly: "Is that so? Then I am very honored."

"Hahahahaha!" 0827 suddenly burst into laughter.

This was the first time everyone had seen him laugh like this.

"Alright, you come with me." 0827 took Liu XinFan's arm and walked out of here.

"Creak—"

The heavy iron door closed suddenly, just as it had opened suddenly before... Wang Yi was undergoing special training in the Beast Taming Bureau's training ground when he suddenly turned around and saw the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau entering from outside the main gate.

"Master!"

Wang Yi was pleasantly surprised. He quickly recalled his Mystic Horned Beast, then ran over: "Master, you're finally back."

Ever since Person with bamboo hat took those people away, the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau hadn't returned. He didn't know what he had discussed with the City Lord and Principal Liu, or if the people had been rescued.

"Oh, Wang Yi, why are you here?" The Director of the Beast Taming Bureau stopped when he saw it was Wang Yi.

"Master, I'm training." Wang Yi haphazardly wiped the sweat from his forehead, then said, "Master, you've been out for so long, is there any progress on the wanted criminal's case?"

Speaking of this, the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Yi didn't understand.

"Let's not talk about that for now..." The Director of the Beast Taming Bureau raised his hand and patted Wang Yi's right shoulder, saying earnestly, "Don't get involved in this matter; just let us old folks handle it."

He paused, then added: "By the way, later go to the armory and pick a suitable weapon; it will be beneficial for your upcoming training."

Wang Yi was a bit confused: "What training?"

"Have you forgotten that the competition for the younger generation among the Three Great Powers in our Wall is coming up soon? Three years ago, your senior brother participated; this year, I've entered your name." The Director of the Beast Taming Bureau's speed at changing the subject was truly fast.

"But Master, those from the Four Great Families were captured during the competition. Are we still going to compete?"

Wang Yi wasn't just concerned about himself. The main reason was that many people would participate then, and if such an incident happened again, the 155 Fortress would truly have no successors.

Anger flashed in the Director of the Beast Taming Bureau's eyes, as did unwillingness, but more than that, there was absolute certainty. He said, "This kind of thing will not happen again."

"But..."

"Alright, you go to the armory first to choose a suitable weapon. Tomorrow, I will personally devise a special training plan for you."

"Yes... Master." Wang Yi watched his Master leave just like that, unable to fully express what he wanted to say.

But Wang Yi still listened to his Master's words and went to the Beast Taming Bureau's armory.

"It's you, coming to choose a weapon?" The person guarding the armory was a Level 4 martial artist, but he was quite old, seemingly around forty or fifty years old.

"Yes, Master told me to choose a weapon." Wang Yi nodded and said.

"Alright, go in. To the left are lightweight weapons, and to the right are heavier ones."

"Okay."

The Beast Taming Bureau's armory was very large, containing all sorts of weapons. Wang Yi had been in before, but that was several years ago.

At that time, he was only a teenager, and the weapon he chose was a spear. Unfortunately, he wasn't very good at using it, and since he was a Beast Tamer himself, he never really got to use it much.

His Master also didn't demand that he master weapons.

Wang Yi slowly walked through the armory. He saw many types of weapons: sabers, swords, as well as hammers, axes, long whips, and so on.

What kind of weapon would be suitable for him?

...In the forest, Lin Feng was calculating when he could sell all the items required by the system and then upgrade, when he saw Tong Changshan running towards him.

Seeing the young man grinning widely, Lin Feng knew he must have stolen another wealthy person's storage bag.

Perfect, he was just worrying about not being able to sell the items on the train.

"Welcome aboard this train. Please sit tight and hold on. Please purchase a ticket to board. The ticket price is one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"Is there any train exclusive water left?" Tong Changshan's first question after jumping onto the train was this.

"The train exclusive water is sold out for today. Please come back tomorrow."

Lin Feng didn't want this either, but the water sold really well.

Even though the sales progress was complete, it was still in short supply.

"Alright, then do you still have any cultivation techniques here? I'll buy another one." Tong Changshan was truly generous this time, buying a 20,000 spirit stone cultivation technique without hesitation.

"Yes, a third-grade water-attribute cultivation technique."

Lin Feng really hadn't expected anyone to buy two cultivation techniques.

However, if it was Tong Changshan... it didn't seem so hard to understand.

Tong Changshan readily took out the spirit stone vouchers. His harvest this time was considerable, but Lin Feng had guessed wrong; these weren't stolen by him, but earned by reselling Martial Enhancement Pills and Healing Pills in the black market.

The reason he wanted to buy a second cultivation technique was also to resell it in the black market.

Anyway, he wasn't good at other things, but he was very skilled at escaping. Others couldn't catch him.

If those mercenaries hadn't bought information from Ximen Chuifeng before, they wouldn't have even thought about catching him.

And didn't he still escape in the end?

When it came to escaping, Tong Changshan had absolute confidence in himself.

"Then sell me that water-attribute cultivation technique. Here are twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones," Tong Changshan said.
