After Feng Ge and his breakup, he went back to the Tianxuan Empire alone.
Because the place he had previously been at was the border of the Yutian Empire, Feng Ge quickly entered the Yutian Empire. He originally wanted to go back to the Tang Jia Fortress, but gave up on this idea.
Because he had hired a carriage driver, after three days of travel, Feng Ge arrived outside a city called Liang Prefecture City. The carriage driver seemed to be very afraid of entering Liang Prefecture City, so he left Feng Ge outside the city.
"Young hero, the corners of Liang Prefecture City''s mouth are not at peace. It''s best that you don''t stay here for long." These were the words the driver had left behind for Feng Ge before he left.
"Liang Prefecture City is not peaceful?" Feng Ge did not think so. Even if it was not peaceful, most of it were bandits, right?
He raised his head and looked at the three words written on the wall: Liang Prefecture City.
Outside of Liang Prefecture City was a stone arch bridge. After crossing the arch bridge, one would reach the city gate. Feng Ge looked at the words on the wall in front of him before slowly walking up the stone arch bridge.
To him, there was no more danger. The Soul Devouring Hall would not act against him for the time being. Thus, he was still relatively calm.
However, when he stepped onto the stone bridge, the scene in front of him made him stop in his tracks!
He saw a corpse lying on the stone bridge. The corpse looked a bit withered, as if it had been dried up by the wind for a long time. The way it died was extremely creepy.
Feng Ge could not help but frown. "Liang Prefecture City is really not peaceful, no one cares about the people who have died at this city gate for so long!"
He circled around the corpse and continued walking forward. However, on the other side of the bridge, there was a corpse wearing a black robe and a ferocious god mask. This person was dressed in a very peculiar manner.
Feng Ge observed the black clothed dead man. This was a corpse that had just died, the blood had not even dried up yet, and he found a order badge by his waist! Curiosity drove him to take down the order badge, and there were three ancient words written on it: Profound Spirit Religion!
"They even brought gold. It seems that they can even sell for some money!" "I''ll take it!" Feng Ge did not bother with the words Profound Spirit Religion. Instead, he felt that there was a gold lining to the order badge, so he kept it, and planned to sell it in the city for some gold.
However, he didn''t realize that he had gotten into trouble the moment he had put away the command medallion.
Just like that, Feng Ge entered Liang Prefecture City. However, there weren''t many pedestrians within the city, and even if there were people passing by, they all looked flustered.
"What happened in Liang Prefecture City?" With regards to the abnormality of Liang Prefecture City, Feng Ge was very suspicious, so he stopped a passerby and asked: "This big brother, why is there so little people in Liang Prefecture City? And why do they look so flustered? "
"Aiya, Young Hero, you don''t know this, but Liang Prefecture City often has people dying without reason these days, making people''s hearts flustered. Seeing that Young Hero is from outside the city, it''s best for you to leave quickly. You shouldn''t stay here any longer." The man who was stopped replied.
"A dead person without a reason?" Feng Ge''s brows slightly knitted, and he thought about the two corpses outside the city.
"Don''t the city guards care?" Every city had imperial guards to maintain order, and this senseless death should not be left unattended.
"Guard? Sigh … Do you see where there are guards in Liang Prefecture City? "This is a place that doesn''t care, sigh …" The man sighed and left in a hurry.
"Areas that are not taken care of … No wonder … I want to see who the murderer is! " Feng Ge frowned as he thought.
Because there were often people who died without reason, there were very few people on the streets, but those shops were still open for business, so Feng Ge found an inn to stay.
"Aiyo, Young Master, I can tell that you''ve come from outside the city, it must have been hard on you." The waiter was very enthusiastic. After all, there was not a single guest in such a big inn.
Feng Ge asked the waiter about Liang Prefecture City''s current situation, but there was still no clue to the killer. The waiter only knew that normally, those who died were all from the Martial Cultivator, and not a single ordinary person had died.
What was even weirder was that only people from Martial Cultivator could die. Why was this so?
"What are the characteristics of the dead?" Feng Ge asked, still unwilling to give up.
Heh, young master, you''ve asked the right person. I heard others say that the dead have one thing in common, and that is when people discover that someone died, their corpses will all be dried up like corpses that have been squeezed dry. The waiter said.
"Oh?" Feng Ge was startled, then thought about the dried up corpse outside the city. Could it be that it had just died? He could not help but become even more curious about this matter. "Alright, I understand. You can go back to your work."
"Alright." The waiter responded and went to do his work.
Feng Ge ordered a jug of wine and a plate of dim sum for the waiter to send over to the guest room, then started to drink alone. He pondered, could the culprit be someone from Soul Devouring Hall?
However, he quickly denied it. Soul Devouring Hall absolutely disdained killing those under Martial King, because it had no meaning to them.
"That''s right! "Could it be that the black clothed person who died …" Looking back on the two corpses from today, one was dried up, while the other was not. The death looked different, and the waiter said that all the people who died in a strange way had the same thing, that was, they were all squeezed dry, and from that, it could be determined that the man in black was one of the culprits!
Feng Ge took out the order badge from his bosom. "It seems like I have to find out the background of this Profound Spirit Religion first, perhaps only then will I be able to find the culprit!"
When night fell, Feng Ge entered his cultivation mode.
Ever since he had merged with the flame, he had yet to experience how powerful the Fire Burning With Rage would be after he fused it with his own energy.
As he focused his mind, the purple crystal within the Qi Sea started to emit a strong energy aura, which was transmitted through his meridians to his left and right palms. Suddenly, a purple flame appeared in his left and right palms.
He focused his gaze and slightly closed his palms, fusing the two strands of energy into a ball of purple flame. Immediately, a powerful energy filled the entire room.
"Quick, look! There''s a powerful aura emanating from that inn! Quickly go over and take a look!" Within the darkness of night, two black figures were jumping around on top of a rooftop, like two bats in the dark, they gradually approached Feng Ge''s tavern.
Not long later, two black shadows appeared on the roof of the inn.
The man in black slowly lifted up the roof tiles and observed the activity in one of the rooms in the inn.
"Martial King …" One of them said softly.
"Perfect, as long as we can obtain his Spiritual Strength, then our strength will increase once again, hehe …" The man in black let out a ghostly laugh.
"Who is it!" The laughter on the roof could be heard even by ordinary people. Feng Ge was startled and threw the Fire Burning With Rage in his hands towards the roof.
"Junior Sister, quickly leave!" A feminine voice of a man sounded as two black shadows rose into the air.
Boom!" The fireball broke through the roof and shot into the sky. Following that, there was a loud sound, and the flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Liang Prefecture City!
"Cough, cough, cough …" "What a great fire, I almost suffocated to death!" In the air, two black shadows had already escaped from the explosion. One of them cursed. Her voice was very enchanting, like a female ghost.
"Junior Sister, although this person only has Martial King, he possesses a Heavenly Flame. It will be difficult for us to subdue him, so we''ll just let him go for now. There''s plenty of opportunities." The man''s feminine voice spoke again.
"Alright, I''ll listen to senior." I''ll let him live for now! "Cluck, cluck, cluck …" The ghost-like laughter disappeared in the air and spread throughout Liang Prefecture City. It frightened all the ordinary citizens to the core.
"Who is this person?" Feng Ge frowned, but was still satisfied with the power of his own Fire Burning With Rage: "Looks like after this Fire Burning With Rage contained the energy of the Heavenly Flame, it has indeed become a lot stronger."
In fact, how would Feng Ge know that after the Fire Burning With Rage had acquired the power of the flame, it had become much more powerful? The two Martial Emperor Expert s were scared off by him just now, it was just that it didn''t know it!
The innkeeper and waiter both ran to Feng Ge''s room. Seeing the big hole in the roof, they stared at Feng Ge in a daze.
The money was nothing to an alchemist. Feng Ge casually threw a handful of gold coins to the shopkeeper: "Take it, give me another room. Also, I''m hungry …"
"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment, I will prepare some food for you. As for the room, there is an upper room opposite, I will clean it for you immediately!" The shopkeeper instantly turned into a pug as he smiled and said.
"Ai …" "Humans …" Feng Ge sighed.
The waiter brought some food and ate a beautiful meal before falling asleep. It was only until dawn that he woke up from his dream.
In his dreams, he saw a place that seemed like hell. It was like a purgatory, surrounded by undulating Langya. Magma filled the area, and the heatwaves soared to the heavens.
Around the platform were four stone pillars. On the stone pillars, there were four chains as thick as a bowl''s mouth, and in the center of the platform, there was a man with disheveled hair and a body covered with blood shackled by chains. He looked extremely miserable.
In his dreams, Feng Ge entered the situation he was in. Step by step, he walked towards the execution platform, wanting to see who the blood-covered man who was locked in place by the iron chains was.
But just at that moment, the man covered in blood suddenly raised his head, waking Feng Ge up!
