The Feng Clan of the Six Void Mountain was located in the territory of the Divine Dragon Valley. It was a small clan that was affiliated to the Divine Dragon Valley, and was quite far away from the Divine Dragon Valley.
The five of them traveled day and night, and it took them ten days to arrive at the Feng Clan.
"Such an eerie aura!"
Duan Yan shuddered as they approached the Feng Clan.
The others frowned as they felt the air was exceptionally cold.
Up ahead, there was a continuous stretch of palaces. A group of people came out to welcome them.
The one leading the group was a young man with a pale face. He immediately bowed when he saw Lu Ming and the others, "Feng Yi of the Feng Clan greets the envoys of the Divine Dragon Valley!"
"Don't mention it!"
Xu Long waved his hand.
After some introductions, the group knew that Feng Yi was the only son of the Feng Clan's Patriarch. The people who followed Feng Yi to welcome them were the higher-ups of the Feng Clan.
"Everyone, let's talk inside!"
Feng Yi led Lu Ming and the others into the Feng Clan's residence.
"Such an eerie aura!"
Lu Ming frowned as he entered the Feng Clan's residence. He could feel that the aura here was even colder.
"Did anything happen to the Feng Clan recently?"
Xu Long was the first to speak as the group took their seats in the main hall.
"Three days ago, my Third Uncle died too!"
Feng Yi said with a sorrowful expression.
The others of the Feng Clan wore terrified expressions.
The Feng Clan had no idea who they had offended. The higher-ups of the Feng Clan had died mysteriously one after another, causing the Feng Clan to fall into a state of panic.
No one knew who would be the next one to die.
"Do you know how they died?"
Xu Long asked.
"No idea, we've checked carefully. There are no wounds, not even a single wound!"
Feng Yi said while shaking his head.
"No wounds? How is that possible? "
Fu Xing said in disbelief.
"There really are no wounds. We've checked carefully. My father, my Second Uncle, and my Third Uncle are all the same. There are no wounds at all, as if they died suddenly. However, they are all Martial Dominator Realm experts, so it's impossible for them to die suddenly. Someone must be behind this!"
Feng Yi said while clenching his teeth.
"Does the Feng Clan have any enemies?"
Xu Long asked.
"Our Feng Family is considered relatively weak in this region of Six Void Mountain. Normally, when we do things, we tremble with fear. How could we dare to offend other forces? Therefore, our Feng Family has always been on good terms with other families and forces. We virtually don't have any enemies!"
Feng Yi said.
Xu Long, Lu Ming, and the others frowned.
There were no enemies and no wounds, which meant that there were no clues. How could he investigate?
Could it be that he had to wait for the rabbit to show up?
Wait for the other party to attack again?
The hall suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere seemed a little heavy.
"I suggest that we open the coffin for an autopsy!"
Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
The one who spoke was Lu Ming.
"Open the coffin for an autopsy?"
Everyone looked at Lu Ming.
"I … I don't think that's a good idea. My father and the others have just been buried not too long ago. It's a little disrespectful to open a tavern now!"
Feng Yi said.
"I also agree with opening the coffin for an autopsy. Otherwise, without any clues at all, how are we supposed to investigate the matter? If the other party doesn't make a move after that, wouldn't this matter be left unsettled? "
Xu Long said.
Then, Fu Xing, Duan Yan, and Zhang Kong spoke one after another, agreeing to open the coffin for an autopsy.
Feng Yi's expression changed, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded, agreeing to this matter.
Under the lead of Feng Yi and the Feng Family's upper echelons, the group headed to the back mountain.
Soon, they arrived at the burial place of the Feng Family's Patriarch and the others.
Feng Yi arranged for the Feng Family's men to act. Soon, three purple-gold coffins were placed in front of Xu Long and the others, and the coffin lids were already opened.
Three middle-aged men were lying quietly inside the purple-gold coffins.
The three of them were Emperors, and their corpses wouldn't be corroded without at least a hundred years of age.
Lu Ming, Xu Long, and the others carefully examined the corpses.
Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyebrows twitched, as if he had discovered something. His eyes were filled with doubt, but he didn't say anything.
Then, everyone carefully examined the corpses. Sure enough, there weren't any wounds, not even the slightest.
"No wounds?"
Lu Ming frowned. He recalled the men of the Cang Emperor in the Martial Emperor's Mystic Ground, who had died in the Martial Emperor's Mystic Ground without any wounds.
Lu Ming speculated that those people had been killed by the Soul-Destroying Mage Emperor. However, Lu Ming didn't think that the Soul-Destroying Mage Emperor had escaped from the Martial Emperor Realm and came here to kill a low-level Martial Dominator Realm cultivator every few days.
It was impossible!
"The Soul-Destroying Mage Emperor, destroying his soul? By the way, could it be that these people's souls were destroyed? "
Lu Ming's heart shuddered as he thought of this possibility.
His eyes flickered with astonishment. He had a feeling that this matter wasn't as simple as it seemed.
After a careful examination, the Feng Family's men buried the three Patriarchs, and the group returned to the main hall.
Xu Long, Fu Xing, and the others frowned, as they couldn't find any clues.
"Strange, there aren't any wounds. Could it be that their souls were destroyed?"
Xu Long said in a serious tone.
The others remained silent. It was highly possible.
"If the culprit has a grudge against the Feng Family and is here to seek revenge, the next target would most likely be you, Young Master Feng!"
Fu Xing said, causing Feng Yi's face to turn even paler.
"What should I do? Esteemed Envoys, please save me. Whatever you want, my Feng Family will try our best to satisfy you, even if it means going bankrupt! "
Feng Yi begged.
"Mm, don't worry. Since we've accepted the mission, we'll definitely complete it and guarantee your safety!"
Xu Long said.
"How about this, why don't we take turns protecting Young Master Feng? Junior Brother Lu Ming and Junior Brother Zhang Kong will be in a group, Fu Xing and I will be in a group, and Senior Brother Xu Long will be alone. How does that sound? "
Duan Yan's gaze shifted as she spoke.
"I'm fine with it!"
Fu Xing let out a smile.
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. This grouping was quite interesting.
Among the five, he and Zhang Kong had the lowest cultivation, but they were grouped together.
This didn't make sense.
The corners of Lu Ming's lips gradually curled into a smile.
The mission was quite strange to begin with.
Among the five of them, Xu Long, Fu Xing, and Duan Yan were all third-layer Martial Dominator Realm cultivators, while he was only a first-layer Martial Dominator Realm cultivator.
The arrangement didn't make sense at all.
Logically speaking, since Xu Long, Fu Xing, and Duan Yan were all third-layer Martial Dominators, it implied that the mission could only be completed with a cultivation of the third-layer Martial Dominator Realm. What was the meaning of placing a first-layer Martial Dominator Realm cultivator in the mission?
Could it be that someone was manipulating the mission?
Or could it be that someone had purposely placed Xu Long, Fu Xing, and Duan Yan here?
Lu Ming immediately recalled Yin Feng and He Yu.
