Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Alright, remember what you said, once I get out, I'll cure your poison."

"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." Brother Gou was so happy he couldn't contain himself.

"Enough with the nonsense. Who's really behind this? Hurry up and tell me." Ling Zhenfei was getting impatient.

Brother Gou quickly said, "Do you know who the underground emperor of Tangcheng and its surrounding provinces and cities is?"

"Who is it?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Brother Gou said, "This person is named Feng Zilong, nicknamed Mad Dragon, and he's the one behind all this."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned when he heard this. Wasn't Feng Zilong Lu Tao's second disciple, Chen Qian's senior? They've barely met a few times, how did he get involved with him?

Ling Zhenfei thought carefully for a moment; at the time Ling Zhenfei got off the plane, he happened to be on the same flight as Feng Zilong, and there on the plane he revealed the Beast Pills, which caught Mad Dragon's attention.

Then on the road, Ling Zhenfei was blocked by Feng Zilong, who wanted to seize Ling Zhenfei's Beast Pills, but unexpectedly he couldn't beat Ling Zhenfei and had one of his artifacts smashed by Ling Zhenfei.

Could it be that Feng Zilong harbored hatred towards Ling Zhenfei because of this incident? It doesn't seem right.

When he got to Lu Huanong's place, Ling Zhenfei stood out too much, and eventually, he resisted the Heavenly Tribulation himself, curing Lu Huanong's illness.

Because of Feng Zilong's interference at that time, the refining of the elixir almost failed. Could it be for this reason?

Ling Zhenfei couldn't quite understand it, but he finally had a realization when he thought about Lu Yunshang.

Ah, Lu Yunshang, she was the Goddess of Zhao Leng, Feng Zilong, and Chen Qian combined. Although Feng Zilong became the underground emperor, he still secretly liked Lu Yunshang.

But that day Ling Zhenfei caused Feng Zilong to lose face in front of Lu Yunshang, so Feng Zilong was very unhappy with Ling Zhenfei and even left early.

Perhaps it's exactly for this reason that he decided to find someone to deal with Ling Zhenfei.

He himself couldn't beat Ling Zhenfei and knew how powerful Ling Zhenfei was, so he enlisted Master Nangong. It seems this is the reason.

"Are you certain it's Feng Zilong?" Ling Zhenfei asked Brother Gou.

Brother Gou said, "I've been investigating very thoroughly these past two days, following the clues, and finally traced it back to Feng Zilong. Boss, how did you get tangled up with this person? I've heard Feng Zilong is very vindictive and ruthless."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm vindictive and ruthless too, so let's see who's more ruthless now."

Brother Gou said, "Yes, yes, boss, I'm well aware of your capabilities, so there's no need to fear this madman."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's another thing for you to do: find out Feng Zilong's current whereabouts, where he lives, and what he usually does."

Brother Gou was stunned and said, "Seriously, boss, you're asking me to investigate Feng Zilong? You're practically pushing me into a fire pit."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Aren't you a paparazzo? Isn't there anything you guys are afraid of? Cut the crap and focus if you want the poison cured."

"Alright, boss, wait for my news." Then Brother Gou hung up the phone.

Ling Zhenfei never expected the mastermind behind this incident to be Feng Zilong; he thought through so much but never guessed it was Feng Zilong.

So what should be done next? Find Feng Zilong and make him back off, or what?

Ling Zhenfei was unsure; he could certainly call Chen Qian and have him locate Feng Zilong, using Chen Qian and Lu Huanong's relationships to make Feng Zilong relent.

But doing so felt like begging Feng Zilong, and Ling Zhenfei didn't want to do that.

Thinking it over, unable to understand, Ling Zhenfei decided to temporarily set it aside and wait until he figured it out more clearly.

After cultivating for a night, the day broke, and two guards came to Ling Zhenfei's small house door to look at him.

Ling Zhenfei looked back at them; the two prison officers were slightly surprised, never expecting Ling Zhenfei to be so calm and composed.

"You're quite composed, aren't you? Come with us."

After speaking, they took Ling Zhenfei out, this time to a different place.

Ling Zhenfei was taken into a room, and upon entering, he saw a large group of people standing on the opposite side waiting for him.

In front of Ling Zhenfei was a chair, on which Li Dawei sat, currently staring angrily at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei pretended to be frightened and said, "Li Hao, I don't know what you brought me here for. Is there something wrong?"

Li Dawei glared at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Kid, stop pretending. Do you know there was a ghost incident in the cell last night?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Listen to you, I was locked in that small room all night and didn't go out. How would I know about a ghost incident in the cell?"

Li Dawei stood up suddenly and said, "But they all say the ghost they saw was you."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "They must have done too many guilty deeds, saw a ghost, and mistook the ghost for me."

Li Dawei angrily said, "Kid, you'd better honestly explain what happened last night."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I also want to know what happened yesterday; why lock me up? Was it because there's a ghost incident at night, and you don't want me to see ghosts? To be honest, I've never seen a ghost."

Li Dawei said, "Cut the crap; there's no such thing as ghosts in this world. Someone must have been pretending. Kid, confess honestly."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm saying, boss, you locked me up last night, and I never left that small cell; just ask your subordinates and you'll know.

Besides, you said there was a ghost incident; however the ghost appeared is possible, and given this detention center has had too many wrongful deaths, coming back for a walk is normal."

Li Dawei paused for a moment and glanced at those behind him, unexpectedly seeing them all lower their heads.

Li Dawei asked, "Who was on duty last night? Was there any chance this kid escaped?"

"Report, boss, the brothers on duty yesterday didn't find anything unusual."

The one answering Li Dawei was the person who delivered food to Ling Zhenfei yesterday. This person was certainly hateful, Ling Zhenfei disliked this type the most.

Li Dawei glanced at the person and said, "Captain Guo, you were the one arranging the guards yesterday. If something really happened, you'd bear significant responsibility."

Captain Guo said, "I understand, but the brothers were serious and responsible yesterday, and really didn't see this kid go out."

Ling Zhenfei was annoyed by this guy; this troublemaker should be dealt with.

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's odd, I was in that small room almost all night without sleeping much, but I didn't see any guards, not even one, which is really strange."

"Kid, you're talking nonsense." Captain Guo was a bit angry.

At this moment, Li Dawei asked again, "What about yesterday's monitoring; any anomalies detected?"

Captain Guo nervously replied, "Reporting, the monitoring system suddenly malfunctioned yesterday, and during the time the monitoring had issues, there was a ghost incident in the cell."
