The underground cave was tall and spacious. Other than being a little cold and shady, it was not rotten or damp. The cave was very quiet, but if one looked carefully, they could see signs of many people moving.
Little Tiger led the team hundreds of meters into the cave. The cave became darker and darker, and forks that were several people tall began to appear. The main cave also became shorter and shorter.
Lin Changqing acutely sensed a negative energy that was somewhat similar to the resentful aura in the cave, but also different. The [Requiem Bell] hanging on his waist began to secretly absorb this negative energy.
The deeper they went into the cave, the fainter the sandalwood fragrance became. When the sandalwood fragrance in the cave completely disappeared, the negative energy immediately became richer.
Through the close connection with Little Bell, Lin Changqing could clearly sense that the soul space in Little Bell’s body was constantly absorbing negative energy to grow stronger.
“Leader Lin, there’s a large amount of Yin energy gathered in this cave. It will definitely nurture evil things. The environment here is not conducive for us to fight. If we go further in, we will face a huge risk.” Captain Feng suddenly said to Lin Changqing.
The Feng family’s private soldiers were unwilling to continue forward. Since they could sense that a large amount of Yin energy had gathered in the cave, their goal for this trip had been achieved. There was no need for them to risk their lives to continue exploring.
With Shuling and Little Bell, a powerful pet that specialized in dealing with soul ghosts, Lin Changqing could explore alone or return to the county city to report the results of his investigation and complete the mission after finding the cave.
However, he had used the opportunity of the mission to continue implicating the Feng family. He had done this after careful consideration.
The assassination plot last night was targeted at Lin Changqing. The Lu family must have played a part in it. With the death trap broken and the loss of a powerful malicious ghost and a martial arts expert, the enmity between Lin Changqing and them deepened.
And the Lu family, a wealthy family in the county, was actually related to the faction that controlled malicious ghosts and zombies. If this matter was exposed, it would definitely be a big deal.
If Lin Changqing had died in the mission, it would have been fine. Those who knew would at most suspect that the Lu family had used Fan Le’an to arrange a dangerous mission for Lin Changqing. They would not link the culprit of the disappearance to the Lu family.
Now that Lin Changqing was still alive and well, as long as he was a little smarter, he would be able to figure out many things. If he said anything else, the impact would be huge.
At this point, the Lu family was not the only one who wanted him dead.
Lin Changqing still couldn’t figure out why Leader Lu wanted to kill his predecessor from the beginning. Even if the Lu family wanted Elder Zhao’s things, why did they kill his predecessor? He really couldn’t understand.
After Lin Changqing transmigrated, the Lu family seemed to want to continue killing him, but they didn’t send out experts who could make the final decision. They hid it and forced him to this point step by step.
As for the Feng Family, the faction behind the scenes that controlled the malicious ghosts and zombies might have originally been the Feng Family. Helping the Lu Family kill Lin Changqing was as easy as lifting a finger.
The reason why the Feng Family had reported the missing persons case to the authorities directly was probably because they had sensed some clues.
Now, Lin Changqing was here on behalf of the government to investigate the case. As a temporary identity appointed by the government, he asked the Feng Manor to send someone to help. The Feng Manor could not easily refuse.
Moreover, through continuously analyzing the information about the Feng Family gathered by his predecessor, Lin Changqing increasingly felt that this Feng Family was not simple. In this county, the only town named after a family seemed to be Fengjia Town.
It was rumored that the Feng family had once produced a high-ranking official. In the past few decades, they had returned to their hometown in a low profile manner and became a landlord. Therefore, Lin Changqing wanted to use the Feng family’s power to disrupt the situation that he still couldn’t understand.
“Since I don’t understand, I might as well let you guys be muddle-headed too!” This was what Lin Changqing thought.
Of course, even the Knife Gang was not qualified to be involved in such a power struggle. If he wanted to hide it and mess up the situation, it would depend on Lin Changqing’s strength and methods.
Ever since Lin Changqing obtained the [Wisdom] talent and fused two lifetimes of experience, his thoughts had become even more profound and meticulous. When he encountered a difficult decision, he would ask Shuling to give him some advice. Everything was based on stability. In this world, one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.
The Feng family’s private soldiers wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Lin Changqing had already clearly sensed that a large number of zombies had rushed out from those forks.
As long as Lin Changqing reminded them at this moment, they still had a chance to quickly retreat. However, he didn’t warn them. By the time Captain Feng noticed the commotion, it was already too late.
Although the Feng family’s Ninth Miss and Commander Nie were indebted to Lin Changqing’s predecessor, the Feng family was a wealthy family. To ordinary people, they were one of the mountains that weighed down on their heads and could not be considered good people.
His predecessor had been in danger several times because of the people and matters of the Feng family. If not for the providence in his body, his predecessor would have died long ago.
The reason why his predecessor did not change because someone saved his life was because he had encountered many despairing things.
Although the Feng family’s private soldiers behind Lin Changqing were obedient now, there were definitely no good people in private. The resentment on their bodies was deep. This resentment was not accumulated from battlefield battles. One could imagine their actions.
Lin Changqing casually picked one of the hundred people to kill. He definitely wouldn’t kill the wrong person.
Therefore, Lin Changqing did not feel burdened at all when he scammed these Feng family’s private soldiers.
“Something’s coming out!” Lin Changqing reminded him at the right time.
“Attention, everyone! Something is charging at us! Prepare for battle!” Captain Feng did not panic in the face of danger. He commanded the Feng family’s private soldiers to quickly retreat to a spacious area and form a formation to fight the enemy.
Although these private soldiers did not practice battlefield arrays, the Feng family did not lack arrays that were suitable for fighting in the martial arts world. They had all practiced them. With the support of the array formation, the combat strength of the 100-man private army would increase to a certain extent.
“Hahaha! That’s right! I didn’t expect your Feng Family to be so capable. You came to court death so quickly. I’ll gladly accept a hundred top-notch corpses!” A sinister and terrifying voice suddenly echoed in the cave. It was impossible to tell where the person who spoke was.
Hundreds of black shadows rushed up quickly, cutting off the retreat of the Feng family’s private soldiers.
“Kill!”
The well-trained and powerful private soldiers of the Feng family used their skilled saber techniques and sharp weapons to fight the zombies that rushed up.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of weapons colliding with the zombie’s hard body was incessant.
The combat strength of the Feng family’s private soldiers was powerful. For a moment, they were locked in a stalemate with the many zombies. The zombies could not hit the Feng family’s private soldiers who had good defense. It was also very difficult for the Feng family’s private soldiers to easily kill zombies with extremely strong defense and vitality.
Lin Changqing, Little Tiger, and Little Green did not hide their strength. They cooperated and quickly killed the zombies.
