103: Digging up ancestral graves

Even though his left hand was crippled, Xu Feng was still being watched by a pair of eyes from time to time on his way fleeing to the countryside with his injuries.

As the Child of Destiny, Xu Feng could still vaguely sense the existence of a slight crisis.

But his cultivation was only at the fourth stage; trying to sense professional spies in the shadows was still a bit too difficult.

The bus started slowly and gradually entered a small road, but Xu Feng didn't know that there were five or six spies watching him inside this bus.

Every move he made was seen by them and fully reported to Ling Xian.

Looking at the map route sent by Dark Crow, Ling Xian wasn't surprised; instead, he gave a cold sneer.

Everything was under control!

He didn't relax; instead, he became slightly more vigilant.

Not to mention Zhao Qingfeng in the shadows, there was also Su Ran at Zhian Hall.

It wasn't impossible for a Child of Destiny to come to the rescue.

"Xue'er, prepare the car!" Ling Xian ordered, then stood up to head out.

Ling Wu was stunned for a moment, raising his eyebrows without saying much.

Ling Xian's spiritual power was powerful, with layers of waves like ripples; sensing Ling Wu's abnormality, he turned his head to look.

"Ling Wu, cultivate diligently and strive to break through to Grandmaster as soon as possible, so as not to waste the resources I've left behind."

To Ling Xian, Ling Wu always doing chores was not only a waste of time but also a waste of energy.

The road ahead was still long and far, and he also feared being alone on the journey, so he was already doing his best to nurture Ling Wu and the others.

"Don't worry, Young Master, Ling Wu understands!" Ling Wu lowered his head and gave his assurance.

After becoming a butler in Donghai, he had indeed become much lazier, wanting to just be a butler and handle trivial matters.

But things had changed again; Ling San had arrived and broken through to the Late Stage Grandmaster in one fell swoop.

Then there was the newcomer Wu Poshan who broke through to the fifth stage, and Mo Xueer who broke through to become a Master.

Coupled with the changes in the external environment, the appearance of the Qianji Pavilion, the Heaven Ranking, the god list, and so on.

Vaguely, he could also feel the pressure... Zhao Family Village.

A small village in Jiangnan, it was also Zhao Qingfeng's hometown.

Ling Xian arrived here one step ahead of Xu Feng.

"Is this that old fellow Zhao Qingfeng's ancestral grave?"

Looking at the simple grave with the surname Zhao faintly carved on it, Ling Xian roughly guessed it was Zhao Qingfeng's ancestral grave.

Thinking that Zhao Qingfeng, a dignified Grandmaster, would actually put the trump card he left for Xu Feng in his own ancestral grave for the sake of the sect's revival, he felt like laughing.

"This guy is truly loyal to the sect."

Ling Xian gave a wry smile, then spoke to Mo Xueer.

"Shovels! Dig up the grave!"

Then, several Dark Crow members dug up Zhao Qingfeng's ancestral grave shovel by shovel.

Zhao Qingfeng's ancestral grave was quite secluded, and he hadn't returned to the village to visit for many years.

Over time, the villagers didn't know such a person existed.

Let alone help him look after the ancestral grave.

Since the Dark Crow members were all martial artists and there were no restrictions set on this ancestral grave, digging it up was easy.

In no time at all, they had dug a pit half a meter deep.

"Young Master, is it this?" Mo Xueer was holding a wooden box.

The wooden box was entwined with cloud patterns and adorned with threads of gold, making it a high-quality material.

With one look, Ling Xian was certain it was the one.

Xu Feng's trump card, the black jade bone-generating pill!

The healing treasure of the Flying Fox Sect!

This was also why Ling Xian had Xue'er sever the left hand and then let Xu Feng go.

A healing pill capable of regenerating severed limbs.

Although he couldn't use it himself, others might.

"Put this in!" Ling Xian placed a paper with the large characters "Unfilial Descendant" written in advance and a pill exchanged from the system mall into the wooden box.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for intercepting the Flying Fox Sect's treasure, the black jade bone-generating pill!

Obtained villain points +10,000!]

Then he ordered the Dark Crow members to fill the pit back in.

Only then did Ling Xian lead everyone away!

Not long after Ling Xian's group left, Xu Feng arrived before the grave, clutching his left hand and trembling.

Thud, thud, thud!

He kowtowed three times loudly!

The grave before him was his Master's ancestral grave; this was one of his few signs of respect.

"Dig the grave!"

"Wait, I don't have any tools. Digging with bare hands isn't right, is it?" Xu Feng muttered, his eyes catching sight of a shovel in the field, making his heart leap with joy.

"I'll borrow this for a bit." Xu Feng thought it was a villager's farm tool, so he picked it up and started digging.

Little did he know that this was a tool left behind by the Dark Crow members.

With one shovel-full, Xu Feng actually felt it was exceptionally easy.

"This soil is so soft..." Xu Feng spoke in surprise, "It must be because of the rain these past few days."

The moment he dug out the wooden box, he also confirmed at a glance that the item was correct.

After all, it would be strange if there wasn't a treasure in such a wooden box; Xu Feng couldn't wait to open it.

First, he saw a piece of paper with four large, flamboyant characters: Unfilial Descendant!

Xu Feng shuddered in fear, nearly failing to catch the wooden box.

"Master, don't blame your disciple for being reckless. It's just that the place you chose... other than digging up the ancestral grave, I couldn't think of any other way to get the pill!"

Xu Feng thought Zhao Qingfeng had done this on purpose as a test, and as a result, he had directly dug up the grave to pass it.

But with his left hand ruined, he had to take out the Black Jade Bone-Breaking Pill!

Seeing the pitch-black pill next to the paper, Xu Feng understood in his heart, "This must be the Black Jade Bone-Breaking Pill, right?"

He sniffed, and a mysterious fragrance wafted into his nose.

"As expected of a top-tier divine medicine, this medicinal fragrance is truly unique. I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before?"

Xu Feng muttered to himself, suddenly thinking of the smell when he was squatting in the latrine.

Then he shook his head repeatedly. Impossible, impossible. When I was in high school, the latrines were full of the smell of smoke; I must have remembered the smell wrong.

Swallowing the pill, Xu Feng carefully sensed the changes in his body.

One second, two seconds... ten minutes passed, and there was no change.

"The pill must need time to be absorbed. Wait a bit more, wait a bit more!" Xu Feng comforted himself. He didn't believe there was a problem with the pill his Master left behind; since he'd been given the cultivation techniques and martial skills, it was impossible for his Master to screw him over now.

Sure enough, the next moment, the feeling came.

With a poof!

His dantian erupted, and then a warm current surged through his whole body; Xu Feng closed his eyes comfortably to feel it.

But the next moment, a fermented stench hit him, making Xu Feng nearly roll his eyes and faint.

"Holy shit! What the hell?" Xu Feng cursed loudly and hurriedly found a place to squat down.

But the sky-piercing stench still wouldn't dissipate, even spreading over the entire Zhao Family Village with the wind.

"Cough, cough... which son of a bitch did this? Come out, I promise I won't beat you to death." A villager cursed while covering his nose, holding a hammer high as if ready to strike someone.

But this voice didn't reach Xu Feng's ears; he was still continuously outputting.

"Damn, so stinky!" A young man in white clothes covered his nose as he passed by, muttering to himself.

He was the Eldest Senior Brother of the Flying Fox Sect, Li Yanfeng!

He was a Late Stage Master powerhouse and also an exceptionally talented genius.

He had come down the mountain now specifically to carry out a sect mission: to find the whereabouts of Junior Brother Xu Feng and help him.

But as he happened to be passing by and smelled the sky-piercing stench, he also stopped in his tracks.

"Today, I will surely bring this villain to justice and rid the villagers of this pest!"

In his heart, Li Yanfeng most despised those who did bad things in secret or bullied those beneath them.

In his eyes, this was clearly someone poisoning the villagers.

He sniffed and followed the scent.
