Chapter 249: Treasure Map

~7 min read 1,338 words

"What is it?" Lin Feng asked.

Li Chengyuan said tremblingly: "Half a month ago, there was a sudden, abnormal flash of light on Canglan Mountain, sixty kilometers outside our Binhai City. Some said it was aliens landing, others said the military was testing some secret weapon in the mountains, but Xie Wei told me that he felt the surging of Spiritual Qi from that abnormally brilliant light, so he suspected that some treasure might be about to appear in the world."

"So I sent a bodyguard who was a Martial Artist skilled in reconnaissance to investigate. That bodyguard returned very quickly and said he had discovered an underground cave in the Central Valley of Canglan Mountain, and that a massive secret was hidden within that underground cave."

"He even hand-drew a Treasure Map, and by relying on that Treasure Map, one could find that underground cave. But he refused to give the Treasure Map to me, making me pay one billion to buy it."

"Although I, Li Chengyuan, am the richest man in Binhai City, how could I be threatened by a subordinate? So I had Wang Chen kill him and searched that Treasure Map from his body..."

Lin Feng was truly interested now.

He was a Martial Artist himself, so he naturally had a deep interest in things related to Martial Artists.

"Where is that Treasure Map?" Lin Feng asked.

"As long as you spare me, I will immediately offer it with both hands," Li Chengyuan said tremblingly.

Lin Feng chuckled and said: "Fine, I promise you, I will spare your life."

"You must keep your word," Li Chengyuan said with a sobbing tone.

"I will definitely keep my word," Lin Feng said.

Li Chengyuan had no way out at this moment; he could only choose to believe Lin Feng.

So he gritted his teeth, extended a trembling hand, and took out a Treasure Map from the Storage Ring on his wrist.

Lin Feng took the Treasure Map and unfolded it to examine it, only to find that it was indeed a hand-drawn map; the content on it was not very clear, and the marked handwriting was also extremely sloppy.

Whether this thing was real or fake was hard to determine for now, but it didn't matter; he could go to Binhai City to look for it when he had the chance in the future.

If he really discovered an underground cave and Heavenly Treasures, that would of course be for the best.

If he gained nothing at all, there was no loss either.

"I have already given you the Treasure Map; you promised not to kill me," Li Chengyuan pleaded.

"I did promise not to kill you, but I never said I would let you go. Li Chengyuan, I am going to turn you into a vegetable now; prepare to lie in bed for the rest of your life."

As Lin Feng spoke, he pressed his right hand onto the crown of Li Chengyuan's head.

A surging, powerful wave of True Qi poured into Li Chengyuan's skull all at once, roaming everywhere throughout his cerebral cortex.

Li Chengyuan's memory center, language center, and other high-level neural structures were all destroyed by Lin Feng, and this kind of destruction was irreversible; no one could cure him!

Even Lin Feng himself could not!

When Lin Feng released his right hand, Li Chengyuan fell to the floor with a thud, sinking into an infant-like sleep.

Although he was not dead, he would never wake up for the rest of his life; being like this was no different from being dead.

Having dealt with Li Chengyuan, Lin Feng returned to the bedside and tore off all the ropes on Su Mingyue, Lin Wei, and Lin Jingying.

Su Mingyue sobbed as she threw herself into Lin Feng's arms, while Lin Jingying and Lin Wei were still in a state of unbearable agony at this moment.

"Lin Feng, Lin Jingying and Xiao Wei have been drugged; they were given that kind of drug by Li Chengyuan..." Su Mingyue wiped her tears and said quickly.

"I know. Mingyue, you take them back first; I still have to handle things here," Lin Feng said.

"Mm, I know. You must come back early."

Su Mingyue nodded, helped Lin Wei up, then helped Lin Jingying up, and supported them as they left the hotel.

And just as Su Mingyue left, Lin Feng dialed Lei Dong's phone number.

Only ten-plus minutes later, Lei Dong arrived here leading his men.

Seeing so many corpses in the room, as well as Li Chengyuan who had become a vegetable, Lei Dong asked in surprise: "Mr. Lin, what happened here?"

Lin Feng said: "Li Chengyuan led more than ten subordinates, carrying firearms, to sneak into Jinling, seemingly planning a terrifying secret activity. Although it is unclear what their specific operation was, I struck first and killed them all... Oh, right, Li Chengyuan is not dead."

"This guy is too timid; he was scared unconscious before I even made a move."

Lei Dong immediately had people check, and before long, a large quantity of firearms was searched from the bodies of these bodyguards.

"This pack of dogs actually dared to disturb Jinling! Fortunately, Mr. Lin, you discovered it early; you have saved Jinling once again!" Lei Dong said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Hurry up and handle this place; don't scare the guests in this hotel," Lin Feng said.

"Yes, yes, I will have people handle it right away..." Lei Dong nodded repeatedly.

"There is also a corpse near the suburbs; that person is named Xie Wei, and he was also Li Chengyuan's subordinate," Lin Feng said.

Having resolved all issues, Lin Feng left the Cangyue Hotel and returned to the Shuiyuntian Central Villa.

And just as he stepped into the room, he saw Lin Jingying and Lin Wei lying on the bed, and both of them were naked, without a single stitch of clothing on their bodies.

Lin Jingying and Lin Wei were tortured by the aphrodisiac and were in unbearable pain; their clothes must have been taken off by Su Mingyue.

"What is this?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

Su Mingyue said with a flushed face: "I saw that they were in great pain, so I used a wet towel to wipe their bodies, but this method doesn't seem to be working."

At a time like this, there was no room to worry about the differences between men and women. Lin Feng strode over, grabbed Lin Wei and Lin Jingying's wrists, and channeled True Qi into their bodies to examine them.

"Lin Feng, can you neutralize the aphrodisiac in their bodies?" Su Mingyue asked.

Lin Feng frowned and sighed with a bitter smile: "Mingyue, although I am a Martial Emperor and proficient in medical arts, I am not an immortal after all, and I am not omnipotent."

"Even with your strength, you cannot help them neutralize the drug's effect?" Su Mingyue asked in disbelief.

"I truly cannot neutralize it."

Lin Feng paused and then said: "The aphrodisiac that Senior Sister Lin and Xiao Wei were given is actually not a poison, but a tonic with an extremely strong effect. Precisely because it is a tonic and not a poison, I cannot neutralize it."

"To give an example, a human body is like a sapling; if it lacks nutrients, you can fertilize it; if it lacks sunlight, you can let it bask in the sun; if it has pests, you can remove them... But right now, Senior Sister Lin and Xiao Wei are equivalent to having absorbed too much fertilizer. In this situation, I naturally cannot directly neutralize the drug's effect for them."

Lin Feng's words were simple and easy to understand, and Su Mingyue understood immediately.

"Is there really no other way at all?" Su Mingyue asked.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment before saying: "There are only two choices now. The first is to let them endure it themselves; as long as they make it through tonight, they will be fine."
