Chapter 185 Finding the Source

In the following days, Feng Huan treated the villagers day and night. During this period, he gained a lot. His ability to control the power of water was significantly enhanced. His understanding of the water element was also further deepened.

"The water element is all-encompassing and contains everything. It seems as if the world originally came from the water element, and everything we perceive now is a creature of the water element."

As Feng Huan's understanding of the water element deepened, the water power he could use became stronger and stronger. The water element in the void seemed to become a part of him, and it seemed as if he himself was a part of the water element.

“Young Master Yue, thank you for your hard work these past few days. All the patients in the city have been cured, and the mosquitoes have been cleared out by us. The work here should be considered successfully completed for the time being.” The head of the Yin family followed Feng Huan and inspected the small town.

"But we haven't found the source of this thing yet. I'm afraid it will come back again soon after we leave!" Feng Huan was not optimistic. "There is one thing we haven't figured out yet, which is how these life-death wheels that have devoured vitality returned to the hands of the creator. If we figure it out, maybe we can find this person and eliminate future troubles."

“It’s a pity that the record in that ancient book is not comprehensive, and there is no detailed account of the subsequent events.” The head of the Yin family also shook his head and sighed.

"Why are there so many people gathered here? Did something happen?" The two came to a building that looked like a newly built building and saw many people queuing to go inside.

"Oh, that's what happened." The head of the Yin family said with a smile, "The people here are grateful to you and regard you as a god. So, under the initiative of the city lord, they spontaneously built an altar in the city to enshrine your statue. These people can come to worship at any time. It looks like it should be completed today. Should we go in and take a look? This is also a traditional custom in Fengmozhou. It's just that there hasn't been a person like you who is worthy of people's worship for many years."

Feng Huan followed the crowd and walked in. Most of the people in the queue had never seen him before, so no one recognized him.

On the high altar, there was a complete statue that looked somewhat like Feng Huan. On the foundation stone at the foot of the statue were three characters, "Wind God Platform". The city lord knew that Feng Huan had awakened the power of the wind element, so he named it Wind God Platform, which also meant that he blew away the haze like a strong wind and gave life to the people. There was a crowd of people kneeling under the altar, each of them folded their hands in front of their chests, extremely pious. Some closed their eyes and prayed, while others muttered something.

At the same time, Feng Huan seemed to sense an inexplicable force surrounding him, like a spring breeze, his consciousness became clear, and his state of mind suddenly became unusually calm. The faint sense of restlessness in his blood was now calmed and suppressed.

"What kind of power is this? Could it be that the kneeling of these ordinary people brought me the power?" In order to verify his inner judgment, Feng Huan walked in and out several times, and finally determined that the power could only be sensed within a certain range of the statue. "It really is the power brought by them, it's really a bit incredible!"

"By the way, Master Yin, take me to the place where the bodies were burned. Maybe we can find something!" His thinking became clearer here, and he suddenly thought of the possibility of tracing the source.

……

Outside the city, beside the short and broken city wall, a patch of black burn marks showed that countless lives had been lost here. Feng Huan scanned the ground with his spiritual sense and opened his star pupils to look deeper into the earth.

Not long after, Feng Huan sensed a lot of faint deathly air from the soil more than a foot deep, extending in the same direction like an underground sewer.

"These death energies should be the ones left behind when Life and Death escaped. By following the death energies, we can at least find its collection point. Fortunately, we came here today. If it were any later, these death energies might have completely dissipated, and there would be no trace left." Feng Huan was very grateful.

"Master Yin, follow me."

"Anything discovered?"

"Ok!"

Because they had to constantly use their star pupils to observe the direction of the death energy, their speed of advancement was not very fast. Half a day later, they arrived in front of a dark cave more than a hundred miles away. Feng Huan could sense that the cave was filled with death energy, which was not much different from the death subspace of the Ghost Chariot Red Bat.

"It seems to be here, Master Yin, you have a high level of cultivation, go in and take a look, but be careful, there is not much Void Pure Air in there."

"Okay!" At this time, the head of the Yin family showed the domineering power of a master and rushed into the cave without saying a word.

"who?"

"boom!"

"boom!"

There was a sound of fighting, and then the head of the Yin family came out of the cave with a person in his hand.

"Young Master Yue, I have accomplished my mission!" After leaving the man behind, the head of the Yin family said to Feng Huan.

"Who are you? You are so brave to trespass into my territory. Do you know who I am?" The person who was thrown to the ground shouted loudly.

"what!"

"Tell me, who are you?" Seeing this man still so arrogant, the head of the Yin family kicked him hard. If he were the current head of a top family, there would be few people he dared not touch.

"I'll scare you to death if I tell you this! I'm the third patriarch of the Fang family, a weapon-making family in the Shangming Empire."

"The third head of the Fang family? Don't you know him?" After hearing what he said, Feng Huan asked the head of the Yin family.

"The third patriarch of the Fang family! I've heard of this person, but I've never seen him. I've only seen their patriarch and second patriarch."

"If this is really the third patriarch of the Fang family, then things will be a bit complicated, and the involvement will probably be quite large. Are you sure you want to get involved?" Feng Huan looked at the head of the Yin family.

"Then I'll step aside for now!" Patriarch Yin hesitated for a moment, then bowed and turned away. He had a huge family behind him, and he didn't want to bring disaster to the family because of his recklessness.

"You are the third head of the Fang family, right? Why did you do this? Were you instructed by someone, or is this what your Fang family did?" After head of the Yin family left, Feng Huan entered the cave, simply deployed a soundproof formation, and began to ask questions.

"No comment! If you know what's good for you, let me go immediately, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences." The third family head had a look of disdain on his face and didn't take Feng Huan seriously at all.

"It seems that we still need to resort to some tricks. Since you can do such a heartless thing, it is not excessive to torture you in any way."

First, he used the bone-distorting technique. Although he cried like a ghost, he didn't give up. Feng Huan then took out a pill, which was a pill he had recently found in the Huajing, called the Heart-confusing Pill, which could weaken a person's will and make him lose consciousness.

After being forced to take the pill, the third head of the Fang family had a dazed look on his face and his consciousness was in a semi-conscious state.

"who are you?"

"The third patriarch of the Fang family in the imperial capital."

"What kind of technique are you practicing? What realm are you cultivating?"

"..."

Feng Huan first asked some simple questions to confirm whether the elixir had taken effect and guided him to slowly get into the state.

"What is your mission here?"

"Manipulate the cycle of life and death, and collect vitality."

"What are you collecting it for?"

"do not know?"

"Who is it?"

……

After questioning him for nearly half an hour, Feng Huan found that he only knew some peripheral things and had no core secrets at all. He only knew that there was a group of people doing the same thing as him, and there was a huge team behind it, but he was only responsible for this point and knew nothing else.

He was very clear about this life and death transfer. It was mass-produced after a special small animal insect was transformed through the method of refining. Their Fang family accepted such an order and was manufacturing it in large quantities. He didn't know the identity of the person who placed the order, and the manufacturing method was also provided by that person.

"That means the same thing must be happening in other places, but it's not reported, or it's not so serious and therefore not taken seriously. Is this person doing these things just to collect vitality? Is there any other plot? What consequences will it lead to if no one stops it?"

After asking, Feng Huan fell into deep thought. However, with so little information, he could not come to any definite conclusion.

"Let's leave it to the royal family to handle first! When we get back, ask Sister Zhu to keep an eye out for similar news. Since the Fang family is involved, it is estimated that a major earthquake will occur in the capital, so we need to make some appropriate arrangements."

After handing the third head of the Fang family over to the head of the Yin family, he went straight back to the imperial capital. At the same time, he also informed Wushuang of the news he had obtained and some of his own opinions. He ignored other matters for the time being.

……

"There's something wrong at one of the bases. Send someone over to investigate. The other bases should also speed up. Although they don't know the specific situation, they will definitely be on high alert. It will become more and more difficult later on."

"Yes, Master!"

While Feng Huan cleared the haze from the small town, he also alarmed those who were secretly plotting.
