However, when the phone was connected, it wasn't Wu Gaoyang's voice that came through.
It was a strange, hoarse, and low voice that Lin Xiaotian had never heard before, as if something was stuck in his throat, or perhaps the other party was deliberately making it so.
"I heard you're the expert behind Wu Gaoyang. Now he's taken something of mine, and he can't produce it. So I can only find you. Moreover, he's been completely crippled by me, turned into a useless person."
"You'd better come quickly, otherwise, when you see him, you'll only see a corpse."
After speaking, the other end directly hung up the phone.
A cold glint appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face, his eyes filled with killing intent. For a martial artist, being completely crippled meant the end of all their prospects and future.
Furthermore, with shattered meridians and a damaged dantian, their physique would be worse than that of an ordinary person, constantly plagued by minor and major illnesses.
Wu Gaoyang's master and his Lin family had a deep friendship in the past. Now that his disciple had been entrusted to him, and such a major problem had occurred, how could he not be enraged?
As he walked out, he had already dialed that number and called back.
The other side answered quickly, and a cold voice came through.
"Didn't I already tell you? Come quickly. What else is there to say?"
The voice from the phone was full of impatience.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "You haven't told me where you are. If you want me to come, you have to tell me a location, right? Do you want me to search the entire Earth for you?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end before a slightly annoyed voice replied, "I'll send you a location directly. I haven't had time to send it yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
He then hung up the phone directly.
A cold arc curved on Lin Xiaotian's lips. This guy was truly a fool, but that was good. It seemed his brain wasn't very sharp.
The location was received quickly. Seeing the address on it, a cold killing intent flashed across Lin Xiaotian's face. He immediately drove towards that location at high speed.
The place wasn't far from him, only about twenty kilometers.
However, this area had already reached the outskirts.
And Lin Xiaotian already had some guesses in his heart, but they still needed to be verified.
The urban villages in the suburbs were chaotic, and the surrounding environment was poor. The specific location was in front of a siheyuan. As he stood at the entrance, he could already feel the imposing aura emanating from within the courtyard.
That was definitely not an ordinary person. It seemed he had found the right place. He stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. The hoarse voice immediately came from inside.
"Come in!"
Lin Xiaotian saw the person standing in the courtyard at that moment.
He was about forty to fifty years old, his expression as gloomy as still water. His long face looked somewhat surprised when he looked over.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Lin Xiaotian to be so young.
A brilliant smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. He scanned the courtyard and didn't see Wu Gaoyang. He directly asked, "Where did you guys take Old Gao?"
"I know you're looking for me for something. As long as I see him, I'll give you whatever you want."
"Until I see him, you won't get anything good from me."
He knew these people weren't from the Tianluodiwang, and he had already given Master Ku Mu enough of a shock. People from Tianluodiwang would definitely not provoke him easily again.
Especially such a large organization, they would always consider the interests of the entire group when making any decisions. Unless absolutely necessary, Tianluodiwang would not easily provoke an expert like him.
The man with triangular eyes had a cold, mocking expression. "I thought there was some powerful expert behind Wu Gaoyang, but it turns out to be just a young punk."
"Honestly, you've disappointed me greatly."
"I originally thought I could have a good spar with an expert, but I didn't expect it to be such a young man. Wu Gaoyang is truly going backward in his old age. Why would he find someone like you to be his master?"
From the beginning, he hadn't taken Lin Xiaotian seriously at all. He didn't feel any powerful aura fluctuations from Lin Xiaotian.
He felt like an ordinary person. He didn't believe that Lin Xiaotian, at such a young age, could cultivate to a realm higher than his. Therefore, there was only one possibility: this kid might come from some major power, which was why Wu Gaoyang would submit to him.
However, even if the other party came from a more powerful force, he wouldn't care. After all, he was only after his lost item. As long as he got those things back, he wouldn't care what they did to him.
Lin Xiaotian sneered, "Since you don't take me seriously at all, shouldn't you let me see Wu Gaoyang now?"
"If anything happens to him, I guarantee you'll wish you were dead."
The man with triangular eyes sneered mockingly, "Wu Gaoyang is in the room, but his condition isn't very good right now. If you want to see him, you can go in and take a look yourself."
He pointed to the room next to them. Lin Xiaotian directly walked in. He twitched his nose slightly and smelled a unique odor inside. However, he only sneered and didn't pay attention, looking directly at Wu Gaoyang lying there.
Wu Gaoyang had multiple fractures all over his body, and there were traces of blood on him, especially at the corners of his mouth, which hadn't dried yet.
His face was as pale as paper, and he had already fallen into a coma.
Lin Xiaotian walked over and felt his pulse. After sensing his condition, killing intent erupted in his eyes.
He picked up Wu Gaoyang, then came to the courtyard, found a flat spot, and put him down. He turned his gaze to the man with triangular eyes.
The man with triangular eyes didn't take Lin Xiaotian seriously at all. He still had a mocking expression on his face. "You've seen the person. Now, are you going to hand over what I want?"
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Up to now, you haven't even told me what you want. What do you expect me to take out? Your fart?"
"You're truly audacious. Haven't you seen what happened to Wu Gaoyang? You still dare to speak to me disrespectfully. Aren't you afraid I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders?"
The man with triangular eyes said with a mocking tone, "I know you must have an extraordinary background, but so what? I don't care about your identity at all. Now you are a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in my hands. How I deal with you is entirely up to me."
