Chapter 145: The Disappearing Zhao Feng
a few days later.
Xiaoyuezong's mission team, Huang Yun, Xu Zhi, Xiao Yun, Zhao Feng, and Lin Fan, finally arrived at their destination.
Xingjiazhuang.
This is a secluded villa that is isolated from the world, and it has very little contact with the outside world.
It is impossible for ordinary people to find Xingjiazhuang, but "Xiaoyuezong", as a detached sect that controls Xiangyun Kingdom, no domestic forces can escape its sight.
A mile or two apart, five people stood above the valley, looking down at the villa below.
The entire Xingjiazhuang, with a radius of more than ten miles, was terribly silent, and hardly any sound could be heard.
Suddenly, that area seemed to be transformed into a ghost realm.
The group of five people felt a strange aura and did not move.
It was learned from the intelligence that Xingjiazhuang was enveloped by a strange plague, and more than half of the humans in the village died.
In addition, the owner of the village, "Xing Cheng", who was a powerful man in the holy realm at the same level as Marquis Guangjun, also died unexpectedly.
"Zhao Feng, Lin Fan, the two of you are going to inquire about the situation of the villa."
Team leader Huang Yun ordered.
In the five-person team, Huang Yun is the leader and the highest cultivation base in the team.
Along the way, all kinds of troublesome errands, Huang Yun ordered Zhao Feng and Lin Fan who had the lowest cultivation.
A coldness flashed in Xu Zhi's eyes, staring at Zhao Feng and the two who were far away.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan divided into two directions and flew towards the villa.
Teng!
Zhao Feng leaped to the top of the stone wall of the villa, looking down at the entire villa from top to bottom.
He opened the Yinqing blindfold slightly, revealing a gap in his left eye, and his cyan pupils flashed sharply, scanning the entire Xingjiazhuang.
Swish!
In an instant, Zhao Feng imprinted the entire "topographic map" of trespassing in his mind.
In this way, his control of the terrain of Xingjiazhuang, especially the macroscopic control, is probably a bit clearer than that of people born and raised here.
It is known from the mission information that the plague in the villa has a fatal threat to solids below the seventh level, and the threat is reduced for those above the seventh level. As the powerhouses of the mortal holy realm, ordinary plagues naturally cannot affect them.
Therefore, Zhao Feng's action, without any hesitation, flew into the villa.
In fact, Zhao Feng already knew the situation in the villa very well by swiping his left eye.
Now he is just pretending to perfunctory Huang Yun and Xu Zhi behind.
In the villa, most of the area is dead silent, and there is almost no life.
Occasionally I saw a few human beings with cultivation bases around the seventh level of martial arts.
Zhao Feng swept his left eye again, and found that these people suffering from the plague had a lavender aura in their bodies, which melted into the qi and blood of the viscera, corroding their vitality.
As he went deeper, Zhao Feng approached the core of the villa, where there was a mansion covering more than ten acres, which was the mansion of the villa owner.
In the village master's mansion, there are many living people.
There are many martial arts experts above the seventh level in the mansion. Zhao Feng's sharp left eye even caught the only old man in the transcendental realm.
"If you guessed correctly, this person should be the housekeeper of Xingjiazhuang, the client of this mission."
Zhao Feng thought to himself.
After a while, Lin Fan came from the other side and talked with the housekeeper of Xingjiazhuang.
"The old man's surname is Li, he is the housekeeper of the villa, and he has met two sect masters."
When the old housekeeper learned of the intention of the two, he burst into tears for a while.
Immediately,
The old housekeeper began to tell the beginning and development of the plague, including the beginning and end of the death of the village owner.
The plague entered the villa unknowingly half a year ago, and now it has enveloped the entire Xingjiazhuang. Fortunately, this Xingjiazhuang is isolated from the world, in the wild mountains and forests, and the plague has not spread to other areas.
Zhuang Zhu Xing Cheng died a month ago.
"It was one night. The owner of the villa went out alone, fighting with people in the woods a few miles away from the mansion. There was a lot of movement. When we rushed over, the owner of the villa was already dead..."
Butler Li had a look of recollection and horror on his face, and explained what happened.
At the end, he thumped and knelt on the ground: "I beg two sect masters to help find out the source of the plague and arrest the murderer!"
After Zhao Feng heard this, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
On the surface, the death of the village owner coincided with the outbreak of the plague in a period of time.
The mastermind behind the scenes should be someone or a force.
To be able to create such a terrifying plague, and to be able to kill the second-level powerhouse, the person who took the shot may be a cultivator from a foreign sect.
Because in this country, there has not been such a plague yet, but in neighboring countries, I have heard of it occasionally.
These are incompatible with intelligence analysis.
So now there is only one person left, why did the murderer target Xingjiazhuang and the owner of the village?
Zhao Feng immediately thought of two words: Vendetta!
Soon.
The three of Huang Yun also came to the mansion in the center of the villa.
Lin Fan reported the situation to him.
"Go to the fighting woods."
A gleam of light flashed in Huang Yun's eyes.
That piece of wood was where the villa owner fought the murderer.
In the woods, the traces of the battle were not damaged, they were obviously left on purpose.
Zhao Feng stood in the woods with a strange feeling, and frowned.
He opened the blindfold slightly, and his left eye quickly swept across the woods without making a sound.
Huang Yun's eyes flickered, and he analyzed: "Looking at the situation, this battle is thrilling. The strength of the murderer should be comparable to that of the village owner. It may be the peak of the second layer."
"Brother Huang is right."
Xu Zhi and Xiao Yun immediately agreed.
Along the way, Xu Zhi and Xiao Yun both watched with Huang Yun as the head.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan have no right to speak for the time being.
Later, Huang Yun proposed to see the corpse of the village owner.
The corpse of the village owner was buried half a month ago, and now it is necessary to dig the grave and open the coffin, which is naturally opposed by the two young village owners.
Xu Zhi stared coldly, and the mental oppression of the second-level world made the two young village masters pale, and immediately slumped to the ground.
The two young village masters are only solid eight or nine-level cultivation, how can they resist?
Soon, Zhao Feng and others saw the rotting and smelly body of the village owner.
The corpse's shoulders and chest had several broken bones, and other parts also had some scratches.
From the corpse, several people did not see the clue. After all, the face and shape of the village owner could not be clearly seen.
Only Zhao Feng, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't speak. Even if he raised any objections, it was difficult to get accepted.
On that day, a group of five people searched the villa for a long time, but there was no progress.
"Tonight, we will be staying at the village master's mansion. Zhao Feng and Lin Fan, you are in charge of patrolling at night."
Huang Yun indifferently instructed.
He is the leader of the team, and other members must obey his orders in principle.
Even the leader has a certain power to distribute the task rewards.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan looked at each other, and at night, they "watched the night" in the mansion.
"Junior Brother Zhao, what have you discovered about the plague and murderer in Xingjiazhuang?"
Lin Fan asked in a voice transmission.
"No."
Zhao Feng smiled.
Lin Fan always felt that Zhao Feng seemed to have discovered something. Among the few people, only this young man with blue hair and one eye made him a little incomprehensible.
Swish!
In the night wind, a ghostly shadow disappeared in a flash from the corner outside the mansion.
who!
Lin Fan exclaimed, alarming the three Huang Yun in the mansion.
Including the housekeeper, the two young village owners, woke up from a deep sleep.
"I found a shadow just now and fled in that direction!"
Lin Fan said quickly.
Shadow?
Huang Yun heard the words, his eyes lit up, if he can catch the murderer, there will be extra rewards.
"Chase!"
He jumped up and down, like a cyan afterimage, crossing one or two hundred meters in the air.
Xiao Yun and Lin Fan could hardly see Huang Yun's figure.
Huang Yun, as the leader of the Inner Sect Beyond the Ordinary, has extraordinary strength.
Under the leadership of Huang Yun, everyone chased after him.
Soon, Huang Yun saw a ghostly shadow in front of him, the speed was only a little slower than himself.
"Where to run!"
Huang Yun snorted loudly, and surrounded himself with a layer of red true power, which caused a violent wind, like a gale, which drew closer.
"Jie Jie Jie..."
The ghostly shadow, with a strange smile, fled into a forest.
That wood is the place where I went during the day, and the owner of Xingjiazhuang died in it.
Huang Yun stopped in the woods with a vigilant look on his face, and did not enter immediately.
The few people who came later did not dare to act rashly.
"Lin Fan, Zhao Feng, you go into the woods to investigate, we will take care of you from behind."
Huang Yun turned his eyes and ordered indifferently.
When Lin Fan heard the words, Wuming became angry. Is this Huang Yun trying to use the two of them as cannon fodder?
"Will you go! Do you dare to disobey the order of the leader?"
Xu Zhi shouted coldly from the side.
Xiao Yun smiled and said nothing.
in front of the woods.
The five-person team fell into a brief stalemate.
"Well, let me lead the way."
Zhao Feng spoke calmly.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.
A normal person should understand that the mysterious shadow, deliberately leading everyone into the woods, must have an intention.
What's more, the village owner's punishment was killed in this forest.
"If you hesitate again, the clues to the murderer will be broken."
Zhao Feng pursed his lips and smiled.
He had blue hair that fluttered in the night wind, and his one eye was calm, looking strange and mysterious.
"it is good."
Huang Yun and Xu Zhi looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Lin Fan wanted to say something, but Zhao Feng swallowed the words with a smile.
Teng Shua!
Zhao Feng swayed and turned into a silent shadow, with many phantoms, leaping into the woods.
"Hey! This kid's movement skills are quite good."
Huang Yun showed a hint of surprise, and hurriedly chased after him.
Zhao Feng led the way in front, and the four behind, keeping a certain distance, followed one after another.
Several people have escaped into the holy realm and have certain night vision ability, but in the woods in the middle of the night, the vision is far less than that in the daytime.
"over there!"
Zhao Feng suddenly saw the ghostly shadow, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Don't let him run away!"
Huang Yun vaguely saw the shadow, and his heart was overjoyed.
Swish!
Everyone saw Zhao Feng speed up, and then a flower in front of him merged into the dark night.
"Junior Brother Zhao!"
"Junior Brother Zhao, where are you!"
Several people shouted a few times, but in the dead silent night, there was no response at all.
Zhao Feng seemed to be swallowed up by the night.
"Could it be that Zhao Feng has suffered misfortune?"
Xu Zhi's heart froze, mixed with joy and sorrow.
The four of them were nearby, and after searching for a long time, they could not find Zhao Feng's shadow.
"It's all your fault, greedy for life and fear of death! Junior Brother Zhao is only fourteen years old, and you let him take the lead."
Lin Fan said angrily.
Even so, Lin Fan always felt that Zhao Feng's disappearance was somewhat unusual.
"Leader Huang, this forest is too weird. Let's retreat first and come back during the day."
Xiao Yun suggested.
Huang Yun and Xu Zhi nodded when they heard the words.
"Hahaha...Want to run? Don't even want to leave!"
A strange laughter echoed from the woods.
Boom~
The entire forest swayed violently in the field of vision, like a landslide.
not good!
The four were tense and pale.
