investigation
Ye Qingzhu's heart was pounding in her chest. Fang Lingfeng must have used some kind of evil magic. She remained kneeling, staring intently at the person in front of her. Just seeing him filled Ye Qingzhu with rage.
Fang Lingfeng approached her, bent down, and his almost bloodless face appeared opposite Ye Qingzhu. Even though they were only noses apart, she couldn't feel any warmth. Then, Fang Lingfeng reached out and wiped the blood from her face. His hand was icy cold, even stinging Ye Qingzhu's face; it was not the temperature a normal person would have.
"Your anger is also very strong." Fang Lingfeng's eerie smile hadn't faded yet. "So beautiful."
It was that so-called "aura" again. Ye Qingzhu still didn't understand what Fang Lingfeng and Xiao Wen were talking about. She was still trying to move her body, but to no avail. At this moment, Fang Lingfeng spoke again: "Tell me, who brought you here?"
"What business is it of yours how I got here?" Ye Qingzhu's anger had not subsided. She glared fiercely at Fang Lingfeng. "If you're so capable, fight me fair and square."
Just then, Xiao Wen finally leaped up as well: "I brought her here." The lotus tattoo on his face glowed faintly in the dark cave.
"You?" Fang Lingfeng closed his eyes again. "I thought you'd never get over this in your life."
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Ye Qingzhu's heart. Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Wen said, "Please allow me to return to bliss."
Ye Qingzhu stared wide-eyed in disbelief, regretting that she hadn't killed Xiao Wen directly: "You...!" But before she could speak, Fang Lingfeng gently tapped her head, and Ye Qingzhu lost consciousness.
"Since you are so devout, I will naturally grant your request."

From Li Chong's words, Jiang Yingyue and Ji Yinglei also gained a general understanding of what kind of sect the Dark Lotus Sect was. The allure of immortality led everyone to become involved with it to some extent. More importantly, they all tacitly chose to keep the sect's location a secret.
“We haven’t been able to find the location of the Dark Lotus Sect for so many years, and it’s even more impossible to do so in just a few days.” Ji Wushuang was also worried about this matter. “Recently, more and more people have been going missing in Jiangzhou. I’m afraid she is now in grave danger.”
"Not a single clue? They've hidden themselves so well all these years?" Jiang Yingyue was getting anxious, repeatedly reassuring herself that everything would be alright. After all, if anything happened to Ye Qingzhu, she would never forgive herself.
Ji Wushuang shook her head: "Don't underestimate people's greed. We've interrogated those suspected of being cult members, those caught red-handed, and even those who were resurrected by Fang Lingfeng himself. The only thing we know is that their headquarters is in a cave."
"A cave?" Ji Yinglei pondered. "But there are so many mountains in Jiangzhou, it's impossible to pinpoint which one it is."
“We’ve also investigated, but searching even one mountain is so time-consuming and laborious, let alone the entire Jiangzhou.” Thinking of this, Ji Wushuang was also furious. “When we wanted to cooperate with the government, not only did they not help us, but they even came to provoke me on behalf of Fang Lingfeng.”
At this point, it seemed there was no turning back, and all that remained for them was to leave it to fate.
Suddenly, Jiang Yingyue seemed to remember something: "Mother, you said you interrogated people who had been resurrected? Can we see them?"
