225: Xi Ying

Xu Guanghai nodded and said, "Yes! I saw with my own eyes that Scarface was tied up by over a dozen vines! But I was subsequently surrounded, and after that, I never saw him again!"

"Then what should we do? Are we going to go back in there to look for them?" Qi Huaiyi asked anxiously.

"Go back in?!" Geng Rutai and Xu Guanghai looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Nothing could make them go back in there to die; it was already a stroke of luck that they had managed to escape this time.

Xu Guanghu stroked his beard and said, "Everyone, there is no need to go back in! Since they have been caught by the Wood Vine Demon, they are definitely doomed to die!"

Long Yuan walked up and agreed, "Senior is right! In just one day, they will be sucked dry by the Wood Vine Demon, and there will never be a Scarface or Li Yang in this world again!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that if a person joined a cult and accumulated too many evil deeds, even if they weren't purged by the government, they would ultimately be unable to escape the inevitable fate of death...

Thinking of the terrifying sight of a living person being sucked dry by the Wood Vine Demon, everyone couldn't help but shudder. Not daring to stay there any longer, they quickly left Shan Feng Forest, boarded a helicopter, and sped off in the direction of Fengyang City...

Meanwhile, at the Feng Residence in Southern Yue City, Feng Guang was furious at his subordinates!

Feng Qin, Feng Lifeng, and dozens of cultists all looked grim and dispirited. Under Feng Guang's verbal barrage, they didn't dare to make a sound. They felt incredibly aggrieved because their perfectly good plan, which they had carefully laid out in the wilderness all night, had been ruined when Nanming No. 1 High School suddenly changed its mind in the morning, forbidding the teachers and students from leaving the city for training!

They couldn't just storm into the city to kidnap people, could they?

That was a Level 2 base city. Even for a Level 3 base city like Fengyang, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing, let alone a large city like Nanming.

After venting his anger, Feng Guang calmed down slightly and pondered, "There must be a reason for Nanming No. 1 High School's sudden change of heart. We must investigate as soon as possible to see what exactly happened. If someone leaked our plan and caused this change, we must kill that person to serve as a warning!"

"Yes! Family Head!!!" Feng Lifeng quickly replied.

"And you, hurry to Fengyang to capture Long Yuan!" Feng Guang said to his eldest son, Feng Qin.

"Yes!" Feng Qin curled his lips and replied helplessly. He didn't want to go in the first place; capturing a mere brat, why would it require a Young Master like him to personally take action? Unfortunately, with subordinates like Scarface gone and missing, and no one else available to guarantee the completion of the mission, he had to be the one to go.

Just then, a servant came to report, "Family Head, Young Miss Xi Ying from Shadow Moon Hall is here to visit!"

"Xi Ying? What is she here for? Let her wait in the reception hall for a moment!" Feng Guang frowned and said.

"Yes! Family Head!" The servant hurried away.

"I don't care where you go to catch people, you must capture one hundred medicine testing tools within ten days. Otherwise, it will be impossible to exchange for Strengthening Fluid from the headquarters in the future, and in the end, it will be you who suffer the losses! Do you understand?" Feng Guang shouted.

"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.

"Also, capture a Medical Skills Genius as soon as possible to set up our own research department. In the future, we will develop our own Strengthening Fluid so we won't always be held hostage by our weaknesses by the headquarters. We want to be the ones holding them hostage instead, understand?!" Feng Guang shouted again.

"Understood!!!" This time, everyone shouted even louder. They suddenly felt a bit excited. If they could really develop Strengthening Fluid on their side, then the headquarters would be irrelevant. Who knows, they might even be able to sell Strengthening Fluid to other Branches to make a fortune! Thinking of this, these cultists were suddenly energized and full of fighting spirit, immediately starting to take action...

After painting a big picture for the cultists, Feng Guang felt quite pleased with himself. He strode into the reception hall with an arrogant, swaggering gait and saw three bewitching women there; the woman in the lead was sitting, while two female attendants stood behind her.

He raised his eyebrows, a rare smile appearing on his face, and said, "So it is Young Miss Xi who has graced us with her presence! I wonder what wind blew you here today, hahaha..."

"Pfft!" Xi Ying suddenly heard Feng Guang spout such flowery language and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.

The female attendant behind her quickly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe the tea off her body...

"Oh, I didn't expect General Feng to be so literary. Since you want to ask what wind it is, then I'll tell you: it's a southeast wind!" Xi Ying said in a coquettish voice.

"Southeast wind? To the southeast of here is the boundless ocean. Could it be that some anomaly has appeared in the sea?" Feng Guang asked in surprise.

"The southeast doesn't just have the boundless ocean; there is also land..."

"Land? To the southeast, there are only a few Level 2 bases like Nanming and Nanao, and some small Level 3 bases under their jurisdiction... Wait, could it be that you are here because of the Fengyang matter?!" Feng Guang suddenly realized, because he remembered that Li Yang had sent a message wanting to cooperate with Shadow Moon Hall. In order to occupy a dominant position in the cooperation, he had later ordered Feng Qin to send his subordinate Scarface and others there.

Xi Ying heard this and gave a charming laugh, "General Feng has finally remembered! I heard that you returned from Fengyang in defeat this time, with a large number of cultists arrested. We also have two important personnel missing. They were supposed to be working with your people, but they are not among the captives caught by the Fengyang government, and we cannot contact them now. So I want to ask if you know if there is any hidden story behind this?"

"This... wait a moment!" Feng Guang immediately summoned Feng Lifeng to ask.

Feng Lifeng arrived quickly. After hearing Xi Ying's question, he thought for a moment and said, "After Scarface arrived in Fengyang, he sent a message saying that your Cold Moon seemed to have gone into the wilderness with another person to hunt a Tier 4 Teng Snake. Later, they were entangled by the Teng Snake and could not return to Fengyang, so it is normal that they did not appear among the government's captives!"

"It's actually like this?!" The three people with Xi Ying were stunned!

They didn't expect Cold Moon to do such a thing. Isn't this just standing up Blood Wolf Hall?

Thinking of this, Xi Ying suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said, "That damn Cold Moon! To think she would neglect important matters just to hunt a Teng Snake for personal gain... No, wait, how could a Tier 4 Teng Snake appear in the wilderness of Fengyang?!"

Feng Lifeng said, "This is not strange. There have been too many weird occurrences in Fengyang this time! Just in that Shan Feng Forest, terrifying things have appeared. Even a Martial Ancestor like Scarface got trapped in there, let alone a Tier 4 Teng Snake?"

"What? Scarface also got trapped?" Xi Ying was also unsettled upon hearing this. After all, Scarface's strength was clear to see; he was already approaching the Martial General level, and if he drank the Strengthening Fluid, he could directly reach the Middle Stage of Martial General. She hadn't expected someone with such strength to still run into trouble in Shan Feng Forest.
