Chapter 145 The Disappearing Zhao Feng(1/2)
A few days later.
The Xiaoyue Sect'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 has very little contact with the outside world.
It is impossible for ordinary people to find Xingjiazhuang, but the "Xiaoyue Sect" is a transcendent sect that controls the Xiangyun Kingdom, and no force within the country can escape its sight.
A mile or two away, the five people stood above the valley, looking down at the villa below.
The entire Xingjiazhuang, covering a radius of more than ten miles, was eerily quiet, with almost no sound audible.
Suddenly, that area seemed to turn into an endless ghost land.
The five people in the group all felt a strange aura and did not move.
We learned from the intelligence that Xingjiazhuang was enveloped by a strange plague, and more than half of the people in the village died.
In addition, the village owner "Xing Cheng", a powerful man in the Holy Realm at the same level as Marquis Guangjun, also died unexpectedly.
"Zhao Feng, Lin Fan, you two go to inquire about the situation of the villa."
Team leader Huang Yun ordered.
Huang Yun is the leader of the five-person team, and he is also the one with the highest cultivation level in the team.
Along the way, Huang Yun always ordered Zhao Feng and Lin Fan, who had the lowest level of cultivation, to do all kinds of troublesome things.
A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Zhi's eyes as he stared at the two Zhao Feng who were walking away.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan ran in two directions towards the villa.
Teng!
Zhao Feng leaped to the top of the stone wall of the villa and looked down at the entire villa.
He slightly opened the silver-green eye mask, revealing a slit in his left eye, and his blue pupils flashed with sharp luster as he scanned the entire Xingjiazhuang.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Zhao Feng imprinted the entire "topographic map" of trespassing in his mind.
As a result, he may have a clearer understanding of the topography of Xingjiazhuang, especially the macroscopic control, than the people who were born and raised here.
From the mission information, we learned that the plague in the villa is a fatal threat to solids below the seventh level, and the threat is reduced to those above the seventh level. As strong men in the transcendent holy realm, ordinary plagues will naturally not affect them.
Therefore, Zhao Feng did not hesitate in his actions, and shot into the villa.
In fact, Zhao Feng already knew everything about the situation in the villa with a glance of his left eye.
He was just showing off now, trying to deal with Huang Yun and Xu Zhi behind him.
Most areas in the villa were dead silent and almost lifeless.
Occasionally, I see a few human beings whose cultivation is around the seventh level of martial arts. They are all dying, their eyes are dull and dim, and they are lying sickly.
Zhao Feng glanced with his left eye again and found that these people who were suffering from the plague had a trace of lavender aura in their bodies, which melted into the viscera, qi and blood, corroding the vitality.
As he went deeper, Zhao Feng approached the core of the villa, where there was a mansion covering an area of more than ten acres, which was the villa owner's mansion.
There are many living people in the village owner's mansion.
There were many strong men at the seventh level of martial arts or above in the mansion, and Zhao Feng's sharp left eye even captured the only old man who had transcended the mortal realm.
"If I guess correctly, this person should be the steward of Xingjiazhuang, the client of this mission."
Zhao Feng thought to himself.
After a while, Lin Fan came from the other side and started talking with the housekeeper of Xingjiazhuang.
"My surname is Li. I am the housekeeper of the villa. I have met two sect masters."
When the old housekeeper learned the reason for their visit, he burst into tears for a while.
Immediately, the old butler began to tell the story of the origin and development of the plague, including the whole story of the village owner's death.
The plague entered the villa unknowingly six months ago and has now enveloped the entire Xingjiazhuang. Fortunately, the Xingjiazhuang is isolated from the world and is located in the wild mountains and forests, so the plague has not spread to other areas.
The owner of the village, Xing Cheng, died a month ago.
"It was a night. The owner of the village went out alone. He was fighting with people in the woods a few miles away from the mansion. There was a lot of noise. When we rushed over, the owner of the village was already dead..."
Butler Li explained what happened with a look of reminiscence and horror on his face.
At the end of the sentence, he made a plop and knelt on the ground: "Please help the two sect masters to find out the source of the plague and arrest the murderer!"
After Zhao Feng listened, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
On the surface, the death of the village owner and the outbreak of the plague happened at the same time.
The mastermind behind the scenes should be a certain person or force.
To be able to create such a terrifying plague and kill an extraordinary second-level warrior, the person who took action may be a practitioner from a foreign sect.
Because this kind of plague has never appeared in our country, but we have occasionally heard of it in neighboring countries.
These are all consistent with intelligence analysis.
So now that there is only one person left, why does the murderer target Xingjiazhuang and the owner of the village?
Zhao Feng immediately thought of two words: vendetta!
Not long after.
Huang Yun and the others also arrived at the mansion in the center of the villa.
Lin Fan finished reporting the situation to him.
"To the fighting woods."
Huang Yun's eyes flashed.
That forest was where the village owner fought the murderer.
In the woods, the traces of the battle were not damaged and were obviously left deliberately.
Zhao Feng stood in the woods, feeling a strange feeling and frowning.
He slightly opened his blindfold and quickly scanned the woods with his left eye without making a sound.
Huang Yun's eyes flashed and he analyzed: "Looking at the situation, this battle is thrilling. The murderer's strength should be on par with the owner of the village. He may be at the peak of the second heaven."
"Senior Brother Huang is right."
Xu Zhi and Xiao Yun immediately agreed.
Along the way, Xu Zhi and Xiao Yun were watching with Huang Yun as their leader.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan have no right to speak for the time being.
Later, Huang Yun asked to see the owner's body.
The body of the village owner was buried half a month ago. Now that the grave needs to be dug and the coffin opened, it is natural that the two young village owners are opposed.
Xu Zhi glared coldly, and the two young village masters turned pale and immediately fell to the ground under the mental oppression of the second world.
The two young village masters are only at the eighth or ninth level of solid cultivation. How can they resist?
Soon, Zhao Feng and others saw the rotting and smelly body of the village owner.
There were several broken bones on the shoulders and chest of the corpse, and there were also some scratches on other parts.
A few people didn't see any clues from the corpse. After all, the owner's face and body couldn't be clearly seen clearly.
Only Zhao Feng's eyes flickered slightly and he did not speak. Even if he raised any objections, it would be difficult for them not to be accepted.
That day, a group of five people searched throughout the villa for a long time, but made no progress.
"Tonight, we will stay at the Villa Master's Mansion. Zhao Feng, Lin Fan, you will be responsible for patrolling at night."
Huang Yun ordered calmly.
He is the team leader, and other members must obey his orders in principle.
Even the team leader has certain rights to allocate task rewards.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan looked at each other, and at ten o'clock at night, they "kept vigil" in the mansion.
"Junior Brother Zhao, what have you discovered about the plague and the murderer in Xingjiazhuang?"
Lin Fan asked through a message.
"No."
Zhao Feng smiled.
Lin Fan always felt that Zhao Feng seemed to have discovered something. Among the few people, only this green-haired one-eyed boy made him a little confused.
Whoosh!
In the night wind, a ghostly black shadow flashed from the corner outside the mansion.
who!
