Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

The area in front of Lianjiabao remained silent.

Only after entering the room could one see that something was amiss.

There were obvious signs of the earth breaking through the soil on the ground, which was enough to show that the corpses were hidden underground.

Yu Lang had heard about Lianjiabao from Yuwen Ji before, and now, facing this mysterious empty fortress, he felt a chill run down his spine once again.

"My lord, what exactly happened at Lianjiabao? How come there are so many corpses?"

With Yan Zhengchu not present, this question remains unanswered for the time being.

But one thing is pretty much certain: the two strings of bells that the three holy sons plucked were most likely the key to controlling these corpses.

Ren Fengjue said, "The group of corpses that Zhai Hui encountered a few months ago should have been from the Lianjiabao people, but we don't know the details, and there's also that mysterious person..."

"Look around more carefully; perhaps we'll find something."

Having been here once before, Ren Fengjue had a general idea of ​​the terrain.

He also remembered that there was a place called "Medicine Hut" that was locked up.

Time was of the essence, so they didn't go inside to check.

At this moment, based on his memories, Ren Fengjue quickly found the "Medicine Hut".

But strangely, the large padlock that used to hang on the door is gone.

The two exchanged a glance, and from it they could basically conclude that they weren't the only ones who had been to Lianjiabao; there must have been others there...

Thinking of this, Yu Lang was about to push open the door when Ren Fengjue clearly heard the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air. He quickly moved Yu Lang aside.

The next second, something was firmly nailed to the door.

Ren Fengjue looked closely and saw that it was a token with the three words "Xuanjing Hall" clearly written on it.

Yu Lang turned to look in the direction where the "weapon" was launched, but was surprised.

The visitor was none other than Li Feng, the deputy head of the Suspended Mirror Hall and a servant of the Three Holy Sons.

"Is it you?"

Yu Lang assumed that the other party was acting on the orders of the Three Holy Sons to hunt them down, and immediately drew the short sword from his waist.

However, Ren Fengjue noticed that his back was empty, without a sword case. If he had really come to kill him, he wouldn't have come empty-handed.

How did you know we'd come here?

Under the cover of night, Li Feng slowly approached the two, his face cold, still a true god's servant without any "human touch".

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that he is holding a mask in his hand.

It belongs to Yuwen Ji…

He did not answer Ren Fengjue's question, but calmly walked up to them and pushed open the door of the medicine hut.

"Don't you want to know what happened in Lianjiabao? Come in."

Yu Lang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ren Fengjue.

Lord Ren, however, said nothing and followed them inside…

Yu Lang, still somewhat suspicious, quickly grabbed him, saying, "Be careful, it might be a trap."

Ren Fengjue casually took the token off the door and said, "If there were really a trap, the one that was shot at us just now wouldn't be this token."

The two then entered the "medicine hut," but what greeted them was a stench of decay.

Yu Lang instinctively covered his mouth and nose, and Ren Fengjue also frowned.

They've dealt with corpses a lot, and they can almost immediately tell it's the smell of a dead body.

Moreover, in addition to the stench of corpses, there was also a mixture of various unpleasant medicinal smells, which was simply suffocating.

Li Feng, on the other hand, remained unfazed, as if he were quite accustomed to these smells.

He went inside, lit the candles with practiced ease, and operated the mechanism. The rows of medicine cabinets inside automatically opened up from both sides, revealing an iron railing behind them.

Inside, there was a monster chained up, constantly roaring.

Upon seeing this, Yu Lang took a step back, and Ren Fengjue also stopped in his tracks.

Li Feng slowly turned around and said, "This is the original culprit..."

Ren Fengjue saw that the person imprisoned inside was rotting all over, no different from the corpses he had seen outside the city. However, he could tell from the clothes he was wearing that he must be of noble status and not an ordinary person.

"Is he from Lianjiabao?"

Li Feng replied, "This is Lian Xu, the lord of Lian Family Fortress."

Yu Lang was taken aback. "How could he have become like this?"

Li Feng then asked Ren Fengjue, "Zhai Hui must have already told you about the Lianjiabao incident?"

Ren Fengjue nodded. "That's right. He has already explained the whole story."

"It was this man who took those three ingots of gold and went to the Suspended Mirror Hall that day."

Li Feng's tone sounded calm, but his eyes clearly contained hatred.

Clearly, he harbored resentment over what happened that day.

Hearing this, Ren Fengjue could roughly guess why Lian Xu was here...

He asked, "Did you turn him into this?"

Li Feng's voice was icy: "That's right, he killed so many of my brothers in the Suspended Mirror Hall, he deserves to die."

Yu Lang couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

Li Feng looked at the inhuman Lian Xu and smiled coldly, "Back then, he was the one who concocted this poison called 'Corpse Puppet Gu,' which turned everyone in the entire Lian Family Fortress into monsters."

"Once the disaster was started, it spiraled out of control, and that's when he thought of the Suspended Mirror Hall..."

The Suspended Mirror Hall is all about getting paid to do things. If they fail to do their job properly and lose their lives, they can only suffer in silence.

Ren Fengjue understood immediately. "So, you used this poison to deal with him?"

"Yes, he deserves it; he has only himself to blame."

Ren Fengjue continued to ask cautiously, "And who controlled those corpses?"

Li Feng replied, "They were not originally controlled by humans, but only influenced by smell and hearing. Therefore, they had never left Lianjiabao before, but last night... they ran away. I don't know the details."

Yu Lang couldn't help but say, "This matter must be inextricably linked to the Three Holy Sons!"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng did not refute it, but instead tacitly agreed to it.

Ren Fengjue took a few steps closer to the iron railing, glanced at the mask in his hand, and said, "Vice Hall Master Li, you've been following us for more than just this, haven't you?"

Li Feng noticed his gaze, but slowly put his hands behind his back, his voice deepening: "I know you're looking for the whereabouts of the Hall Master. If you can find him, give him this token..."

Upon hearing this, Ren Fengjue understood his meaning, but couldn't help but sigh.

These people from Xuanjing Hall, though seemingly harboring different intentions, are in fact all aligned with Zhan Yi and Xuanjing Hall.

It has never changed...

Li Feng continued, "I can also tell you something else. Those Di people have all been infected with the 'Corpse Puppet Gu.' If it had been them who came last night, the entire Liangzhou City would have been razed to the ground."

Ren Fengjue was startled.

So that's what they wanted when they captured the Di people...

He wanted to ask something more, but Li Feng interrupted him: "I don't know much more. Good luck to you."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the medicine hut, and his figure quickly disappeared into the vast night.
