Dead?

Ye Feng frowned, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He truly hadn't expected that this Shenhou would be so decisive and resolute, committing suicide at the slightest disagreement!

Ye Feng stood up, walked to Shen Hou, squatted down, and placed his right hand on Shen Hou's head.

After examining him for a moment, Ye Feng said, "He is dead. He died from a broken heart."

“The Zodiac Killers are all ruthless characters; it’s not surprising that they committed suicide,” the middle-aged man said.

Ye Feng moved his right hand to his head behind his back and began to perform the Soul Searching Technique.

Shenhou died from a broken heart meridian. His head was undamaged, and since he had only recently died, there should still have been time to extract information from his head.

But just as Ye Feng began to use his soul-searching technique, a restriction inside Shen Hou's head suddenly activated, and Shen Hou's brain instantly turned into minced meat!

Ye Feng withdrew his right hand, a hint of seriousness appearing on his face.

There was actually a restriction in the head of the monkey that could resist the soul-searching technique?

This was the first time Ye Feng had ever encountered such a situation.

Although surprised, Ye Feng understood after recalling what Shen Hou had just said about the fact that there were people among the twelve zodiac animals skilled in soul-searching techniques.

Since there are people in the Twelve Zodiacs assassin organization who are skilled in soul-searching techniques, the assassins, including the Monkey, will naturally be wary of soul-searching techniques.

Therefore, it's not surprising that they set up a restriction in the skull beforehand to resist the soul-searching technique.

Now that the assassin Shenhou was dead, Yefeng removed the surrounding restrictions.

Then Ye Feng looked toward the middle-aged couple.

The couple immediately knelt before Ye Feng, expressing their gratitude.

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior. I, Zhang Xianguang, am deeply grateful! This is my wife, Li Lingyu. May I ask your honorable name, senior?" Zhang Xianguang asked cautiously.

Night Wind smiled and said, "Night Wind."

"May I ask about Senior Ye's background?" Zhang Xianguang asked again.

Perhaps fearing that Ye Feng might misunderstand, Zhang Xianguang quickly added, "Senior Ye, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it; I was just curious. Shen Hou is a martial artist at the Divine Travel Realm, with terrifyingly strong abilities, yet he couldn't even last a single move against you, Senior."

"I've never met someone as powerful as you before, so I can't help but feel curious."

Night Breeze said calmly, "You don't need to know my background."

Zhang Xianguang dared not say anything more and could only nod repeatedly.

Ye Feng looked at Li Lingyu and asked, "When you were fighting Shen Hou just now, I heard you mention the treasure map..."

Li Lingyu immediately took out a map from her storage ring and presented it to Ye Feng with both hands.

"This is the treasure map that Shenhou was looking for. Please accept it, senior," Li Lingyu said quickly.

"Didn't you say you hid the treasure map in a secret location known only to you?" Night Wind retorted, taking the treasure map from him.

Li Lingyu said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was lying to Shen Hou at the time. My husband and I are no match for Shen Hou, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

Night Breeze nodded and began browsing the treasure map.

After looking at it for only a moment, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "This treasure map is incomplete."

Li Lingyu hurriedly said, "Senior, this treasure map was like this when we obtained it. I have never kept anything from you."

"I didn't say you were hiding anything, why are you so nervous?" Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

Night Breeze wasn't really that concerned about treasure maps or anything like that.

After all, his purpose in coming to the Dreamland of Mystery was to uncover the true nature of the twelve zodiac animals.

This is the most important thing!

Of course, now that we've obtained this treasure map, we should definitely learn about it.

Ye Feng looked at Li Lingyu and Zhang Xianguang. Zhang Xianguang immediately explained, "Senior Ye, this treasure map was obtained by my wife and me. According to our investigation, the treasure map records the wealth left behind by the Xuanbing Spirit Palace."

"The Xuanbing Spirit Palace was originally a powerful force, renowned throughout the world. However, its members practiced evil arts, which tarnished its reputation. Ten years ago, countless experts joined forces to besiege the Xuanbing Spirit Palace. Its members either died or fled, and the palace scattered like monkeys when the tree fell."

"However, after breaking into the Xuanbing Spirit Palace, those experts discovered that there wasn't much inside. Obviously, the people of the Xuanbing Spirit Palace had already known about the impending siege and had buried their cultivation techniques, spiritual weapons, and various rare and precious materials in advance."

"Therefore, since then, there have been various rumors about the treasure of the Xuanbing Spirit Palace, but to this day, no one has found the treasure left behind by the Xuanbing Spirit Palace."

“This treasure map should be related to the treasure left behind by the Xuanbing Spirit Palace, but because the treasure map is incomplete, my husband and I did not search for it according to the map.”

After listening to Zhang Xianguang's explanation, Ye Feng finally understood what was going on.

“Senior, you saved my life, and we have nothing else to repay you with, so we will give you this treasure map. We hope you will not find it offensive,” Zhang Xianguang said.

Night Breeze chuckled and said, "I'll just make a copy."

After speaking, Ye Feng took out a spirit stone jade slip and projected the treasure map onto it.

Night Breeze returned the treasure map to Li Lingyu and said, "Now let's talk about the twelve zodiac animals. I'm very curious about this assassin organization."

"Senior, you don't even know the twelve zodiac animals?" Zhang Xianguang looked at Ye Feng in shock.

Night Wind shook his head and said, "I really don't know anything about the twelve zodiac animals. I have been living in seclusion in the mountains for over a hundred years. It was only when I came down the mountain to travel around the world that I finally heard some things about the twelve zodiac animals."

It turns out he was a reclusive master!

Zhang Xianguang and Li Lingyu were both secretly shocked, and their admiration for Ye Feng grew even stronger.

"Speak up, say whatever you know, don't beat around the bush," Night Wind urged.

Zhang Xianguang finally said, "Actually, we don't know much either, because although the Twelve Zodiacs assassin organization is notorious, it is very mysterious, and each member is like a dragon whose head is seen but whose tail is not seen."

"There are twelve assassins in total among the twelve zodiac animals. Although there are not many of them, they are all experts. The strength of the Monkey is only at the bottom among the twelve zodiac animals."

"The twelve assassins of the Chinese zodiac wear zodiac masks when they assassinate others, and they are so powerful that they can succeed in their assassinations every time, so no one has ever seen their true faces under the masks."

Night Wind chuckled and said, "Then do you know how to issue a commission to the Twelve Zodiac Animals, asking them to kill someone?"

"This...we don't know."

Zhang Xianguang and Li Lingyu shook their heads together.

The night breeze couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

If you can find a way to entrust the twelve zodiac signs with something, you can get in touch with them.

But Zhang Xianguang and Li Lingyu didn't know, so there was nothing he could do.

Never mind, let's not rush. We'll find clues if we keep searching.
