"My lord, I wish to follow you."

The transformed soul beast that had been preparing to self-destruct the Ghost Market arrived in front of Lin Feng.

"What is your true form?" Lin Feng glanced at the other party.

A female transformed soul beast who was captured and enslaved, with a strength roughly equivalent to a Title Douluo.

"Swift Sky Eagle, Zhan Xiangwei." Zhan Xiangwei cupped her hands in greeting.

Lin Feng continued, "Do you know who the participants are?"

"I don't know," Zhan Xiangwei replied, without the slightest hesitation in her eyes.

Whether you know it or not doesn't really matter. Just a moment ago, Zhan Xiangwei was already preparing to activate the great formation and perish together with the enemy.

"Okay, come with me." Lin Feng glanced at him briefly, then reached out and brushed his hand across the other person's cheek.

The injuries on the other person's body instantly reversed, until they completely returned to normal, with no visible problems.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Startled, Zhan Xiangwei immediately bowed in gratitude.

"No need for that..." Lin Feng waved his hand and used the Demon Hand to help the other person up. Then he summoned the Soul Car and said as he walked up, "Just call me whatever you want from now on."

...

Outside Yuntian City.

Di Yu, along with his wife and son, waited for Lin Feng under a dilapidated pavilion.

"Get in." Lin Feng pushed open the car door, and the three of them, somewhat flustered, got in one after another.

"My lord!" Di Yu was somewhat uneasy after getting into the carriage.

"Be natural, don't be so formal." Lin Feng smiled and asked directly, "Give me directions, how do I get to the northern route of Mangshan?"

"Yes, sir!" Di Yu glanced at his wife and children and quickly became serious: "Go straight along the official road. At the current speed... it will take about a month to reach Mangshan. Then head north and enter the northern route of Mangshan."

Lin Feng nodded and then asked, "How long will it take to find your old friend?"

Di Yu quickly replied, "Xu Yanchen, the county magistrate of Beiyang City, is on the northern route of Mangshan. You can find him once you enter the city."

After hearing this, Lin Feng asked again, "Can you contact Huang Chao's former subordinates?"

“Sir, contacting them isn’t difficult, but I’m afraid they won’t come out easily.” Di Yu said with difficulty, “Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so blatantly trying to attract them.”

The escort team's route was not concealed at all; in fact, the news had been leaked well in advance. If the other party did not come out, there was really nothing they could do.

"Hmm..." Lin Feng responded, "What other secrets do you know about Huang Chao?"

Di Yu replied, "Half a year ago, news spread in the Ghost Market that Huang Chao left behind a legacy, hiding all his life's knowledge in Mangshan. But I once heard Leng Xiaoyu say that after Huang Chao stormed the capital, he stole a boundary marker. There is actually a boundary marker hidden in Mangshan."

"A boundary marker?" Lin Feng became interested. The historical Huang Chao lost his original intentions after entering the capital and indulging in pleasure. There must be a difference between him and the Huang Chao in this world. So what exactly did he do after he stormed the capital?

"There are 108 boundary markers in total in Sheng Tang Town. The boundary markers of Gyeonggi Province are engraved with the promotion inscriptions made by the Imperial Observatory. Today, Sheng Tang is able to enjoy peace and prosperity under heaven by relying on these to suppress the world."

"Huang Chao's ability to break in shows that he discovered some kind of secret, a way to ignore the boundary markers."

"So the news spread in the ghost market that Huang Chao had stolen a town boundary marker."

"Do you think it's true?" Lin Feng asked again.

"I don't know." Di Yu shook his head, but he quickly continued, "None of the 108 boundary markers are missing, but they say Huang Chao stole one. There must be a secret that ordinary people can't know. Although we don't know exactly what happened, for such news to circulate in the ghost market... and for so many people to believe it, I'm afraid..."

"Who do you think we should ask to uncover the secret?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"This..." Di Yu swallowed hard. "The Bad Guys..."

"Yuan Tiangang?" Lin Feng blurted out a name, causing Di Yu to swallow hard several times.

“There’s another one…” Di Yu murmured a name: “Li Chunfeng.”

Upon hearing these two names, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of another word.

The Tui Bei Tu (推背图)!

In truth, the Four Treasuries' divination school has a close relationship with these two, but the Four Treasuries are the Four Treasuries, and these two are two separate individuals, making it difficult to establish a substantial connection. Moreover... the Four Treasuries are not even here.

"Tell me about the Bad Guys." Lin Feng changed his sitting position, making the car feel slightly larger and creating more space.

"According to records, the Bad People were established two thousand years ago... Two thousand years ago, the Holy Tang Dynasty made its first advancement, and the mountains and rivers underwent tremendous changes. The Bad People's leaders, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, worked together to manage the mountains and rivers and forged the first dragon vein of the Holy Tang Dynasty."

"Five hundred years later, the Holy Tang Dynasty was promoted again. It is said that these two resisted the heavenly tribulation and fought against dozens of enemies of unknown identity for several days. In the end, the battle ended with a stone tablet falling from the sky."

"Later, the Bad People found dozens of celestial stone tablets everywhere, and from then on, the Holy Tang Dynasty re-divided the territory, gradually dividing it into 108 routes."

"Eight hundred years ago, several participants led the Holy Tang Dynasty to advance again, successively devouring the Douluo Realm and the Demon Realm, and connecting to the Battle Realm and the Martial Realm. The Bad Guys then scattered in all directions and established the Ghost Market."

After listening, Lin Feng found some points worth noting: "How did the participants lead the Holy Tang Dynasty to its advancement?"

As they were talking, Lin Feng glanced at the people next to him. Di Yu's wife and children were sitting quietly. Although their child was only 10 years old, the light in his eyes looked very mature.

Zhan Xiangwei, standing to one side, was completely waiting. If there were water cups or teapots, she would have poured tea and water for Di Yu, who had been talking the whole time.

Di Yu said uncertainly, "This... I heard that the passage was opened directly, and the four Great Generals of the Nation pulled the other world into the territory of the Holy Tang Dynasty, and then the boundary marker was set down."

"So... do you know the origins and secrets of these worlds?" Lin Feng's eyes brightened slightly.

Di Yu asked in confusion, "Origin? I don't know. There are some explanations about the power systems of these worlds circulating in the Ghost Market. Occasionally, people from two worlds will intermarry and give birth to children with multiple talents."

Battle aura, martial spirit, body tempering, and demonic power... talents from several worlds are all combined together.

Have you ever heard of Tang San? Xiao Yan?

"No..." Di Yu was somewhat afraid, but he still honestly said it.

Lin Feng silently withdrew his gaze, and the car fell silent in an instant. Di Yu wanted to say something, but felt unable to grasp the key point, and could only silently endure the unsettling silence.

Only when Lin Feng spoke did Di Yu relax slightly: "Do you know any other rumors related to Huang Chao?"

The relaxation lasted only a moment before Di Yu's heart sank again. He racked his brains for any information related to Huang Chao, trying to find anything of value.

“I think I heard someone say that Wang Xianzhi was recruited by the government… He seems to be in Gyeonggi Province…” Di Yu murmured. “After Huang Chao attacked Gyeonggi Province, Wang Xianzhi separated from Huang Chao. Some say he died, and others say he went to Gyeonggi Province to live in seclusion. In any case, if he really lived, he must have known a lot of secrets about Huang Chao.”

Where is Guishan South Road?

“It’s a place completely opposite to Mangshan. If we go there now, it will probably take half a year.” Di Yu felt a bit repulsed: “Guishan South Road is close to the boundless sea. It is the most remote place in Sheng Tang. Many people who have committed crimes go there to hide from the storm.”

Guishan is too far away, and even if we went there, it wouldn't be a place to settle down. Moreover, it's a place where all sorts of people mingle, and if we're not careful, we'll be recognized.

Compared to Mangshan, which he was very familiar with, and with the help of old friends, he was fully capable of replacing several ordinary people who had long since died, changing their names and starting anew.
