Later, when he couldn't find anyone from the Shadow Alliance, he targeted Zhao Yonglong with the intent to rob him. As it turned out, Zhao Yonglong had already sold all the Foundation Establishment Pills to various families and didn't have a single one left on his person.
After that, he waited for half a year and had only recently seen Cheng Zongyang again.
This time, he set his sights on Zhao Yonglong just as he was leaving the city. He killed him and took the one Foundation Establishment Pill on his person. As for the other three, he secretly stole them from the families who had previously bought the pills from Zhao Yonglong.
In truth, only three of the families had their Foundation Establishment Pills stolen. The fourth family had already used theirs but, not wanting to reveal they had a new Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they pretended theirs was stolen as well.
Lin Changfeng paid no mind to being framed for the theft.
