Wero's words made Lin Lichuan fall into deep thought.
Indeed, in that situation, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Vajra Association and the Black Prisoner, his aunt would most likely choose to enter the ruins. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that she was after the riches in the ruins.
Any Transcended with a little ambition would not be able to resist the temptation to enter the ruins with the keys in their hands. He would do the same.
"What about the other two keys?"
"One is in the hands of Zhang Ge, the leader of Tower Hat. He did not have time to leave before the Vajra Association and the Black Prisoner sealed off Area 11. Now he is being pursued by the two at the same time. I don't know where he is hiding. The last one …"
Wero paused. Lin Lichuan smiled and continued, "The last one is in the hands of the Youth League, right?"
More than an hour ago, when Wero and Morris were being pursued by the Black Prisoner, the Black Prisoner's cadre, Varg, had said that he would exchange the two of them with the Youth League. He was most likely referring to the key.
Wero did not speak, which meant that he agreed.
Seeing this, Lin Lichuan could not help but ponder for a moment.
The current situation was very clear. If they wanted to find Lin Zhenyi, the ruins were imperative. If they wanted to enter the ruins, they must first get the key.
"The Youth League and Zhang Ge …" Lin Lichuan's eyes flashed.
At this time, Wero noticed that Kendall, who was supporting him, did not look right. He could not help but ask, "Kendall, what's wrong?"
"Something's not right."
Kendall frowned. "I asked Ganos to secretly go to the pharmacy to buy anti-inflammatory medicine, but it's been more than an hour and he still hasn't returned."
At the end of his sentence, his face had become very ugly. Wero's face also changed slightly.
Lin Lichuan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately focused his mind to sense. Sure enough, he found that there were many more auras around the grocery store.
The grocery store was located in a remote area. He and Ann had not met many people along the way. Now that there were so many unfamiliar auras, the situation was very obvious.
"It seems like another one of your companions has been caught," Lin Lichuan said calmly as he turned around and walked towards the door.
Ann, who was behind him, was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly followed him.
Wero and Kendall looked at each other and walked out with ashen faces.
Outside the grocery store, the originally deserted path was now filled with a lot of people. Forty to fifty strong men blocked both sides of the street, blocking the exits, while a tall and sturdy man stood opposite the store.
Shockingly, it was Black Prisoner Wa Ge.
At his feet, a young man was lying motionless. His body was sprawled on the ground, and a large amount of dark red blood flowed out from the bottom, quickly forming a pool of blood on the asphalt ground.
Looking at the silent young man, Wero and Kendall's expressions changed in unison. Grief and indignation appeared on their faces as they lifted their heads and glared at Wagner.
"I'm really surprised."
Varg turned a blind eye to their furious gazes, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. "I didn't expect the famous Kendall of Black Street to be a member of the Youth League. No wonder the Youth League knows everything about Black Street like the back of their hand."
"I can't believe I caught such a big fish. I have to say that my luck today is really good."
As he spoke, Varg's gaze swept past Lin Lichuan and Ann. He did not stop at all, treating them as ordinary members of the Youth League or ordinary people who happened to come to the grocery store to buy things.
"Where's Morris?
What did you do to him? "Wero suddenly asked.
"Do you still have the time to care about others?" Varg said coldly. "But don't worry, you'll be able to keep him company soon."
Wero's face immediately darkened.
Kendall looked left and right at the Black Prisoner members blocking the exits on both sides of the street, and his heart could not help but sink.
"This is bad!"
There were forty to fifty Black Prisoner members on the street, and without exception, they were all Transcendents. There was no lack of Silver Rankers, not to mention Varg, who was a Gold Ranker. In District 11, such a powerful lineup was comparable to the combined forces of some of the upper-middle ranked Transcendents.
Using them to capture the few of them was already an honor.
Taking a deep breath, Kendall subconsciously clenched the gun in his hand and glanced at Lin Lichuan from the corner of his eye.
He was just an ordinary person, and he had no combat power after abandoning his gun. Wero was also seriously injured and lost most of his combat power. As for the little boy, he looked malnourished and was obviously a wanderer. It was impossible for him to be a Transcendent. Only this man still had full combat power.
Moreover, seeing how he easily blocked Wero's attack, he was at least a Transcendent at the peak of Silver Ranker, or even a Gold Ranker.
But the next moment, Kendall realized that even if he was a Gold Ranker, he could escape alone in this situation, but it was impossible for him to defeat Varg and the others.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a trace of despair in his heart.
"Kendall!"
Wero's low voice suddenly came to his ears. Kendall came back to his senses and heard Wero whisper, "Escape through the back door of the grocery store. The Black Prisoner's forces there are relatively weak. I will take the opportunity to create an opportunity for you to break out."
As soon as he finished, Kendall's expression changed, and he blurted out, "Then you …"
As soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Wero's gaze.
Looking at the determined gaze in Wero's eyes, Kendall opened his mouth but could not say anything. He could only nod in silence.
Seeing this, Wero secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Lin Lichuan, hesitated, and said in a low voice, "Friend, I'm sorry to drag you into this, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You can ignore it and leave."
Lin Lichuan had been observing the situation around him. Hearing this, he withdrew his gaze and shrugged. "Do you think the Black Prisoner will let me go in this situation?"
Wero was slightly taken aback, and then he smiled bitterly.
"What, are you done discussing?"
A cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Wero and Lin Lichuan's conversation.
Varg stood there with his arms crossed, looking at Wero and the others with an expressionless face.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. It's better for you to surrender obediently, lest you suffer more later."
Ignoring the other party's threat, Wero took a deep breath, looked around, and said coldly, "There are no cowards in the Youth Division who surrender. If you want to fight, then fight!"
As he spoke, he raised the longsword in his hand slightly, ready to strike.
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting the prelude to his attack.
"Perhaps we can make a deal."
Wero looked over in shock and saw that a longsword had appeared in Lin Lichuan's hand.
"I'll help you get rid of these guys, and as the price, you'll give me the key to enter the ruins. How about that?"
As soon as these words were said, the street fell into a dead silence.
Not only Wero, Ann, and Kendall, but even Varg was stunned. Everyone looked at Lin Lichuan in a daze.
A few seconds later, a burst of laughter came from somewhere, followed by the Black Prisoner members roaring with laughter. The sound of laughter echoed in the air above the street.
Varg didn't laugh, but narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully looked at Lin Lichuan, and suddenly raised his arm.
The noisy laughter suddenly stopped, and the Black Prisoner members no longer laughed, but they all looked at Lin Lichuan with a cynical look, as if they were looking at a fool who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
"It seems that you're also an Extraordinary."
Varg's eyes fell on the sword in Lin Lichuan's hand, and then turned to look at his face. He pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly a flash of realization appeared on his face. "I remember, you're a newcomer who just arrived on the island a few days ago. I saw your photo on the list of Extraordinary new residents."
Lin Lichuan didn't comment, and there wasn't much surprise on his face.
As the local boss of District 11, if the Black Prisoner didn't pay any attention to the newcomers, then it wouldn't have developed into one of the two strongest forces in District 11.
"Since you dare to say that, it means that you're quite confident in your strength."
Varg slowly lowered his arms, and with his movement, a terrible momentum instantly descended on the narrow street, making Wero's face change.
"But I've seen a lot of people like you before. They've stayed in the outside world for too long and thought that Black Flame Island was the same as some small countries on the continent, where a Silver Rank warrior was a big shot. Therefore, they still maintained a superior attitude and didn't know how to follow the rules of Black Flame Island."
"And these people eventually became corpses in the sewers."
Varg's cold words swept through like a cold wind, making Wero's heart tighten, and he stared at the other side as if he was facing a great enemy.
As ordinary people, Kendall and Ann's faces turned blue, and their bodies began to tremble under the pressure of Varg's momentum.
Even so, Ann's expression was still calm, or numb, but she subconsciously took a step closer to Lin Lichuan, trying to relieve the heavy feeling on her body.
The little boy's unexpected performance made Lin Lichuan slightly surprised. He glanced at Ann, didn't say anything, and just spread out his Reiatsu.
Ann suddenly felt her body lighten, and there was a puzzled look in her eyes. Immediately, she seemed to think of something and turned to look at Lin Lichuan.
Lin Lichuan had already raised his long sword, but the tip of the sword was pointing straight at the sky.
Looking at this scene, Wero and Kendall showed a puzzled look at the same time.
Varg also frowned slightly, but seeing that the situation was no longer stiff, he simply waved his hand.
"Except for Wero, kill everyone else!"
As soon as his voice fell, the impatient members of the Black Prisoner rushed toward Wero's group with a grin.
The deafening roar suddenly tore the silence on the street.
Wero's body instantly tensed up, and he clenched his long sword and was about to rush forward, but the next second, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded in his ear, as if it burst out at the soul level, making his heart tremble slightly.
"Scatter, Senbonzakura."
A beautiful light suddenly flashed.
The light in front of his eyes flashed, and when Wero came back to his senses, he was stunned to find that his vision was filled with beautiful petals. Countless densely packed cherry blossoms fluttered and fell, scattering all over the street in the blink of an eye.
"What … is this?"
