Ye Feng waited outside the door for a moment before following him inside, but once inside, he found that Liang Cheng'an was nowhere to be seen.

Liang Cheng'an just arrived here, but he's not inside now, which means there must be a secret room in this house!

The night wind released its divine senses, examining every item here.

Before long, Ye Feng noticed something amiss.

The night breeze came to the bookshelf against the wall and turned a ceramic vase on the shelf.

A clicking sound rang out, the bookshelf flipped over, and a deep tunnel appeared before Ye Feng.

The night wind entered without hesitation, gradually penetrating deeper into the sloping secret passage.

Before long, a glimmer of light appeared ahead.

As the night breeze approached, it became clear that this was a basement.

There were candlesticks in the basement, and the light came from the candlelight. Liang Cheng'an was kneeling in front of a burly man, reporting to him in a rambling manner.

"What did you say? Shenhou found you and interrogated you, forcing you to reveal the truth about Chen Mingyu's disappearance?"

The burly middle-aged man frowned and spoke with a very serious expression.

Liang Chengan nodded repeatedly and said quickly, "That's right, that person must be Shen Hou. He was wearing a Shen Hou mask and he was extremely ruthless... Lord Wang, look, he broke these two of my fingers."

"Moreover, that Shenhou even threatened me with my son and daughter. I really had no choice, so I..."

Lord Wang?

It seems this man is Wang Xinglong, the chief constable of Fengding City!

Night Wind thought to himself, and continued to spy and eavesdrop.

Wang Xinglong snorted coldly and said, "So you told him about Chen Mingyu's disappearance?"

“I was forced into this situation,” Liang Chengan said.

“What did you say to him? Tell me!” Wang Xinglong demanded.

Liang Cheng'an then relayed his conversation with Ye Feng in the Jin Yu Lou to Wang Xinglong word for word.

When Wang Xinglong heard the words "Mysterious Ice Spirit Palace," his face immediately turned extremely ugly!

"You actually told him about the Xuanbing Spirit Palace? Are you crazy?" Wang Xinglong roared.

Liang Cheng'an said bitterly, "Lord Wang, I don't want to either, but if I don't speak up, Shenhou will kill me!"

"You revealed the secrets of the Xuanbing Spirit Palace, aren't you afraid I'll kill you! Do you even know what the Xuanbing Spirit Palace represents!" Wang Xinglong said angrily, his body radiating murderous intent.

Liang Cheng'an trembled with fear and said in a panic, "Lord Wang, please don't be angry. I only said the four words 'Xuanbing Spirit Palace.' I didn't tell him anything about Xuanbing Spirit Palace."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xinglong's expression finally softened a little.

Ye Feng overheard the entire conversation between Wang Xinglong and Liang Chengan.

It seems that the Xuanbing Spirit Palace is hiding a shocking secret.

Otherwise, Wang Xinglong wouldn't have this attitude!

Just as Ye Feng was thinking this, Wang Xinglong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Which friend is hiding there? Would you like to come out and meet me?"

Wang Xinglong actually discovered me?

Night Wind was secretly alarmed. After hesitating for a moment, he still went out and withdrew the concealment spell from his body.

Upon seeing Ye Feng appear here, Liang Cheng'an was so frightened that his voice cracked, like an old rooster whose neck was being grabbed but still trying to crow.

"It's him! It's him! Lord Wang, look, I didn't lie to you!"

"Shut up!"

Wang Xinglong shouted sharply, and Liang Chengan immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Wang Xinglong then looked Ye Feng up and down and said, "I never expected that the famous Shen Hou would appear in front of me, the chief constable. It seems you really don't take me seriously!"

"You were the one who called me out," Ye Feng laughed.

"What are you trying to do by asking about Chen Mingyu's disappearance? Shenhou, this is none of your business. I advise you not to get involved, or you won't even know how you died!" Wang Xinglong said forcefully, exuding a strong aura of menace.

“You don’t need to worry about that, Lord Wang,” Ye Feng said.

After a pause, Ye Feng pressed on, "I overheard your conversation. It seems that the Xuanbing Spirit Palace is hiding a shocking secret. I am very interested in it. I wonder if Lord Wang would be willing to tell me frankly?"

"What if I don't tell you?" Wang Xinglong asked.

"Then you'll have to die here," Night Wind said slowly.

Wang Xinglong suddenly stood up, and with a wave of his right hand, a dark, heavy spear appeared in his hand.

"It's still uncertain who will live and who will die!"

Wang Xinglong roared and thrust his spear at Ye Feng!

Mid-stage Divine Travel Realm!

Wang Xinglong is quite strong, but he's far inferior to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng raised his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the long sword appeared in his hand.

Ye Feng unleashed three consecutive slashes, not only blocking Wang Xinglong's attack but also forcing Wang Xinglong to retreat repeatedly.

"You're incredibly strong!"

Wang Xinglong shouted, his face showing utter shock.

"Do you know my strength?" Night Wind asked.

Wang Xinglong gritted his teeth and said, "The Twelve Zodiacs have committed so many crimes in our Fengding City, how could I, as the chief constable, not have dealt with them! According to the intelligence I have, you are only at the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm, but the strength you are displaying now far exceeds that of the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm!"

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence," said Ye Feng.

"Don't get too cocky, I haven't even used my trump card yet!" Wang Xinglong roared.

"Then show me how to use it," Night Breeze said calmly.

Wang Xinglong roared and thrust his spear at Ye Feng once more.

This time, the spear in Wang Xinglong's hand trembled rapidly, and a touch of vermilion even burst forth from the tip of the spear.

"Red Sun Flame Gun!"

Wang Xinglong roared, and the spear tip exploded violently just as it pierced Ye Feng's face.

The scalding heat spread in all directions, shaking the basement and causing cracks to appear in the floor and walls.

Liang Cheng'an scrambled to a corner in a disheveled state, but even so, he was still affected by the aftershocks of the battle. His clothes caught fire, burning him so badly that he screamed in pain.

But when the flames died down and the smoke was blown away by the gale, the night wind appeared before Wang Xinglong unharmed.

"Your martial skill is decent, with very concentrated power, but it's still far from enough to hurt me," Ye Feng said calmly.

Wang Xinglong's face grew increasingly grim. He truly hadn't expected that his all-out attack would have caused Ye Feng no damage whatsoever.

Before Wang Xinglong could say anything more, a dark shadow suddenly leaped down from the ceiling and swiftly attacked Ye Feng.

There was an assassin hiding in this basement!

Moreover, the assassin was shrouded in darkness, and the black rapier in his hand was like a venomous snake, each strike aimed straight at Ye Feng's vital points!
