"Tell me, what do you think of this Wang Ergou? You've spent more than a day with him, you should know something about him," Ye Feng asked the commoners and serfs.
So they started reporting all at once.
"Wang Ergou is a decent guy, quite polite, and he works very hard."
“Wang Ergou is indeed a good person. He even made it into the top 100 yesterday and got to eat meat! And he not only ate meat himself, but he also left some for us so that we could also taste the meat.”
"By the way, Wang Ergou told me this morning that he was in a lot of pain. I thought he had worked too hard yesterday to get meat, so I advised him to take it easy."
The last commoner to speak immediately caught Ye Feng's attention.
Ye Feng immediately asked, "Wang Ergou told you this morning that he was in a lot of pain?"
“Yes, he looked really uncomfortable,” the commoner replied obsequiously.
"Did he say anything else?" Night Wind asked again.
"Nothing else, but the way he walks seems off, like his hands and feet aren't obeying his commands," the commoner said uncertainly.
Just then, Xu Ping'an, who was squatting on the ground studying the pieces of meat, suddenly exclaimed, "City Lord, I think I know what's going on!"
Ye Feng had already noticed Xu Ping'an studying Wang Ergou's remains, but he didn't ask because he didn't want to disturb Xu Ping'an.
Hearing Xu Ping'an's words, Ye Feng asked, "What have you figured out?"
"A divine skill that allows flesh and blood to possess a spirit!" Xu Ping'an said solemnly.
Upon hearing Xu Ping'an's words, Luo Lin and Luo Qing's expressions changed drastically, and Zi Jing was so frightened that she let out a strange scream.
But Ye Feng was unaware that flesh and blood possessed a spirit, nor did he know what this term meant.
Seeing Ye Feng's puzzled expression, Luo Lin quickly said, "Ancestor, you probably don't know that the Blood and Flesh with Spirit Divine Art is an extremely evil technique, and it is the fundamental law of the Blood and Flesh Spirit."
"The Spirit of Flesh and Blood is an extremely cruel and evil sect. This sect appeared more than 600 years ago, and at that time you, Ancestor, were already seriously injured and in seclusion, so you probably haven't heard of the Spirit of Flesh and Blood."
"The Spirit of Flesh and Blood has committed countless bloody incidents within our Hongtian Empire, so it was put on our empire's wanted list a long time ago. Several important members of the Spirit of Flesh and Blood are on the list and are wanted throughout the country."
"However, the Flesh and Blood Spirit sect is very well hidden. No one knows where its headquarters is. Its disciples, protectors, and elders also come and go without a trace. Therefore, in the past few hundred years, the empire has captured very few members of the Flesh and Blood Spirit sect."
It turns out that this sect only appeared after Luo Tong went into seclusion. No wonder he had no information about this sect in his memory.
Night Breeze nodded and looked at Xu Ping'an.
Xu Ping'an stroked his beard and said, "Lord City Lord, the Blood and Flesh Spirit Divine Art is the fundamental technique of the Blood and Flesh Spirit. It is extremely evil. Anyone who cultivates this technique can manipulate their own and others' blood and flesh."
"Turning others into human bombs is also one of the effects of the Flesh and Blood Ghost Technique?" Ye Feng asked.
“That’s right, exactly.” Xu Pingan nodded emphatically.
Night Breeze took a deep breath and said to everyone present, "Everything is fine here now. Go back to your posts and don't slack off! Zhao Bo, you stay here and maintain order. Luo Lin, Luo Qing, Zijing, Xu Lao, Jiang Wei, you all come with me."
After saying that, Ye Feng strode towards his tent.
Rowling, Luo Qing, and the others quickly followed.
Upon entering the tent, Ye Feng raised his hand and unleashed beams of golden light, forming a barrier that isolated the entire tent from the outside world.
"What do you think about this?" Ye Feng asked.
Jiang Wei said without hesitation, "City Lord, that commoner named Wang Ergou was bought by Madam Luo Lin from Jiangxia City, which means he was originally from Jiangxia City. He would have had an accident any earlier or later, but he suddenly exploded after arriving in our Xinluo City, almost killing several people."
"Therefore, I believe this is a conspiracy by Jiangxia City against our Xinluo City! The city lord of Jiangxia City most likely doesn't want to see our Xinluo City rise here, so he's secretly trying to trip us up!"
Zijing immediately chimed in, "I think so too! I've had a feeling for a long time that Jiang Zhengzhong is no good. He always has that fake smile on his face, and you can tell at a glance that he's full of bad intentions!"
Xu Pingan then said, "Our Xinluo City and Jiangxia City are indeed quite close, with a straight-line distance of no more than two hundred li. Could it be that the city lord of Jiangxia City felt threatened because of this and did not want to see a more powerful city grow stronger next to his city?"
Suddenly, Luo Lin frowned and said, "Ancestor, I don't think so. If Jiang Zhengzhong really doesn't want our Xinluo City to rise, he should use more effective methods instead of these ineffective tricks."
Then Luo Lin looked at Jiang Wei and Xu Ping'an and asked, "Is the death of a civilian in our Xinluo City a very serious matter? Will it stop our Xinluo City from rising? Obviously, that's impossible, unless all three thousand people I bought from Jiangxia City explode!"
"Therefore, your guess is logically untenable."
Rowling's words make a lot of sense.
Ye Feng then said, "Luo Lin is right. If Jiang Zhengzhong really harbored ill intentions towards us, he certainly wouldn't have resorted to such a joking tactic. Instead, he would have used a more destructive method."
“That doesn’t make sense. If it wasn’t the city lord of Jiangxia City who was deliberately targeting us, then why did that civilian from Jiangxia City suddenly explode? Could it be that the evil sect, the Spirit of Flesh and Blood, is behind this, and it has nothing to do with Jiangxia City?” Zijing said, completely bewildered.
"Has our Luo family ever clashed with the Spirit of Flesh and Blood?" Ye Feng asked.
“No.” Rowling shook her head.
“That’s really strange,” Ye Feng said.
It was at this moment that Rowling suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Ancestor, I suddenly lost contact with Chen He this morning," Luo Lin said.
Night Wind frowned and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Yes, Ancestor."
Rowling recounted the entire story to Nightwind, explaining and reporting from beginning to end.
It turns out that Luo Lin and Chen He had agreed to contact each other once a day. After all, it was dangerous for Chen He to be alone in Jiangxia City investigating the refugees, so Luo Lin needed to keep track of his movements and safety at all times.
If anything unexpected happens, Rowling can immediately provide him with support.
Until yesterday, nothing unexpected happened.
