Jiang Feng ran wildly all the way, secretly swearing in his heart, I will make your entire Xuanhai Sect pay for my second brother's life!
A day later, Jiang Feng and his companions arrived at Huoyun Village. As soon as they entered the village gates, they were met with a bloody purgatory. The once bustling village was now reduced to rubble, and the pungent smell of blood permeated the air. Countless bodies lay scattered across the ground, men, women, and children alike. Their deaths were gruesome, some decapitated, others pierced through the body by sharp weapons. The once vibrant clothing, now stained a dark crimson by the blood, seemed to betray the atrocities that had taken place there.
Most of the houses had collapsed, and wisps of smoke were still rising, as if they were unwilling to let out their last sigh. The martial arts training ground in the village was also destroyed beyond recognition. The ground was covered with traces of fighting and weapon fragments. The corners where children used to play were now filled with small corpses, which made people feel heartbroken at the sight. Jiang Feng's eyes were red, and tears were swirling in his eyes, but he forced himself not to let them fall. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his palms. "No matter who you are, you are so cruel, I will not let you go!"
Jiang Feng's eyes were red and he clenched his fists. Fatty Qiu beside him also looked reluctant and whispered, "Brother Jiang, this place is very strange."
Jiang Feng took a deep breath, suppressed his inner anger, and began to examine the bodies. Suddenly, he noticed a finger move slightly on one of the bodies, and he quickly squatted down to examine it. Seeing that the person still had a trace of breath, Jiang Feng hurriedly injected his own spiritual power into the body.
The man slowly opened his eyes and said with difficulty: "...save the leader..." He died before he finished speaking.
At this time, Fatty Qiu was also examining the corpse on the ground when he suddenly exclaimed, "This is the Blood Forbidden Technique!"
Jiang Feng quickly walked over and asked, "What is the Blood Forbidden Technique?"
Fatty Qiu said reluctantly, "This is an ancient evil magic that collects human souls and makes them never reincarnate. At the same time, the collected souls can be refined into treasures, or..."
Jiang Feng asked anxiously: "What is it? Tell me quickly."
Fatty Qiu leaned forward and said, "Help someone regain their true form!"
Jiang Feng's mind was struck by lightning. Could it be Liu Jian and Zhang Jie from the Tianxing Sect? Or was it that old demon, the Blood Demon?
Fatty Qiu patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder and said, "These collected souls are also a great tonic for those who practice magic. However, it is not so easy to use these souls to rebuild your true body. First of all, you need a lot of natural treasures and a large number of souls. The key is that even if the true body is rebuilt, it will be half human and half ghost in the future, and it will be difficult to reach the great way."
Jiang Feng thought about it and guessed that it must have been done by the Tianxing Sect, and the Xuanhai Sect must have gained some benefits from it.
Jiang Feng stood up suddenly and roared: "Xuanhai Sect is so cruel and unjust! I will fight you to the death." At this time, the sky suddenly darkened, and a powerful pressure enveloped him.
After a while, Jiang Feng calmed down, released Bai Ling and others, and buried all the people in Huoyun Village.
Jiang Feng stood solemnly at the gate of Huoyun Village, his figure erect as a pine tree, his eyes fixed on the burial place before him. He took a deep breath, then bowed solemnly to the resting souls of the heroes. As he stood up, his voice resonated and powerful, as if it could pierce the heavens: "Brothers and sisters of Huoyun Village! You have all suffered this calamity and perished because of me, Jiang Feng. In this lifetime, I, Jiang Feng, cannot repay this deep affection and friendship, but here, I swear a solemn oath - I will not be a human being until I have avenged this blood feud! If you break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
With that, Jiang Feng turned around, exchanged a resolute glance with his companions, and together they set out on a search for clues. They searched everywhere, leaving no corner untouched that might hold crucial information. Finally, their efforts paid off. After a thorough search, they discovered a tattered, bloodstained piece of clothing in Song Yunfeng's room.
Without a word, or even waiting for Jiang Feng's prompt, the portly Fatty Qiu quickly pulled out the mysterious gourd from his bosom. He gripped the gourd tightly with both hands, muttering something to himself as he began concentrating on his divination. However, this time, something was unusual. Jiang Feng and the others stared wide-eyed at the void where mist and images should have appeared, but for a long time, nothing remained.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a drop of bright red blood suddenly slid down from the corner of Fatty Qiu's tightly closed eye, followed by another drop... Soon, tears and blood flowed out like a fountain. Jiang Feng was shocked. He knew what this meant - Fatty Qiu must have been giving it his all. Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel grateful to his friend who had tried so hard to help him.
As time went by, Fatty Qiu's expression grew increasingly grim, beads of sweat forming on his forehead and trickling down his cheeks. But he showed no sign of giving up, gritting his teeth and persevering. After a long while, he finally slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a long sigh, and said, "We've found it! Song Yunfeng is imprisoned in a hidden dungeon. According to my divination, the dungeon is surrounded by layers of powerful restrictions, making it incredibly dangerous and treacherous. Furthermore, it's approximately three days' journey due north from where we are."
Jiang Feng's eyes flashed, "No matter how dangerous it is, we must go and save him." Bai Ling clenched her fists and nodded firmly.
Jiang Feng then summoned Xiaojiu and had him search the killer's Nascent Soul. A short while later, Xiaojiu arrived to inform him that Song Yunfeng was being held in the Viper Gang's dungeon. He also had another piece of important information: there might be a cultivator in the early stages of fusion there, likely from the Xuanhai Sect.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Feng's face darkened. With their current cultivation level, they were naturally no match for him. Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "You help me protect the law, I want to force a breakthrough."
Several people wanted to stop him, but seeing that Jiang Feng was so determined, they kept silent!
Jiang Feng looked up at the sky and whispered, "I will break through here today. Let's see how you can stop me!!!"
