Chapter 565: Found it!

Jiang Feng soothed her for a long time before Yun Mengrou's crying gradually stopped.

"Go take a bath and change clothes. If you keep not eating, drinking, or sleeping, your body will break down. Anna wouldn't want to see you like this."

She looked at Jiang Feng, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She nodded, stood up, her steps a little unsteady.

Jiang Feng supported her and escorted her to the bathroom door.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you."

Yun Mengrou glanced at him, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

The door closed, and the sound of water came through.

Jiang Feng stood at the bathroom door, silent for a moment, then turned and walked into the living room.

Lu Xiao stood by the window, arms crossed, gazing at the night outside. Her silhouette looked somewhat weary, the burden on her shoulders heavy.

Jiang Feng walked up beside her and spoke lightly.

"This Fire Phoenix Green Vicious, can you find him?"

Lu Xiao remained silent for a long time, then turned, looked at Jiang Feng, and gave a faint bitter smile.

"Sorry, Jiang Feng, even if we know he's the Fire Phoenix Green Vicious, we can't find his trace. We've turned Jiangnan upside down, mobilized several hundred people, carried out a carpet search, but found no clues."

She paused, then continued.

"After all, this person is someone who has been on the Fierce Men List!"

Fierce Men List?

As soon as those words were spoken, Jiang Feng froze.

Those three words were like a key, opening a door deep in his memory.

He seemed to recall that during his time in Kunlun, people had also commented on something like the Fierce Men List.

But he was still afraid he might have mixed it up, so he quickly asked.

"What is the Fierce Men List?"

As soon as he said that, even Lu Xiao was stunned.

She looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes full of surprise.

In her view, someone like Jiang Feng possessed unfathomable strength, even comparable to the experts on the Fierce Men List.

She had always thought Jiang Feng knew these matters inside out, never expecting he didn't even know about the Fierce Men List.

Nevertheless, Lu Xiao continued.

"This Fierce Men List was personally arranged by the Si Tian Jian National Master, using his supreme cultivation to forcibly deduce it as the third of the Four Great Lists. Everyone on the list is a top-tier ruthless powerhouse within the Da Xia realm, totaling ten individuals."

She paused, her tone becoming even more solemn.

"And this Fire Phoenix Green Vicious is ranked ninth!"

Jiang Feng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Ninth?"

Lu Xiao nodded.

"Don't think that just being ninth makes him insignificant; it's still enough to shock the world. Anyone who makes the Fierce Men List is utterly wicked, without exception. Each has committed heinous crimes, their hands stained with blood. The empire has been hunting them, but they're too strong and too cunning—so far, none have been caught."

Jiang Feng asked.

"Who is first?"

Lu Xiao couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes. She shook her head, her voice lowered.

"I don't know. The first on the Fierce Men List is just two words: Kunlun."

Jiang Feng smiled.

He thought to himself, You certainly wouldn't know.

Back then I rushed to find that old National Teacher, forcing him to replace my name with the two characters Kunlun.

Aside from him and the National Teacher, no third person knows about this.

Jiang Feng didn't explain, merely said lightly.

"This Fire Phoenix Green Vicious, you can't find him—I'll do it."

Lu Xiao was taken aback.

"How will you find him?"

Jiang Feng said.

"Take me to see Anna's corpse."

Lu Xiao hesitated, then nodded.

"Okay."

At that moment, the bathroom door opened.

Yun Mengrou came out, having changed into clean clothes, her hair still damp, no makeup on her face.

Her complexion remained pale, her eyes still swollen, but she was a bit more spirited than before.

She walked up to Jiang Feng, her gaze resolute.

"I want to go too."

Jiang Feng looked at her, silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay."

The three of them went out, went downstairs, and got into the car.

Lu Xiao drove, Jiang Feng sat in the passenger seat, and Yun Mengrou sat in the back.

The car drove for about forty minutes, arriving at Jiangcheng First People's Hospital.

The hospital building stood especially quiet in the night, only the emergency room's lights still on.

Several police cars were parked at the entrance, with a few uniformed officers on patrol.

Lu Xiao parked the car, and the three of them got out.

Lu Xiao showed his credentials, and the police at the entrance immediately made way.

She brought Jiang Feng and Yun Mengrou through the lobby, took the elevator, and arrived at the morgue on the basement level.

Lu Xiao walked to a door, stopped, and turned her head to look at Yun Mengrou.

"Miss Yun, are you sure you want to go in? Miss Anna's condition……is not good."

Yun Mengrou bit her lip and nodded.

"I want to go in."

Lu Xiao glanced at Jiang Feng, who gave a slight nod.

Lu Xiao pushed the door open.

The temperature inside the morgue was very low, cold as winter.

Lu Xiao walked to the innermost bed and stopped.

She reached out and gently lifted the white sheet.

Anna lay there.

Her complexion was as pale as paper, her lips purple, her eyes tightly closed.

There was a gunshot wound on her chest; the wound had been sutured, but the brutality of it could still be seen.

She looked as if she were asleep, but everyone knew she would never wake up again.

Yun Mengrou saw Anna's corpse, and tears burst forth. She covered her mouth, stifling herself from crying out, but tears fell like broken beads.

"Anna……Anna……"

Her voice was hoarse, full of pain.

Jiang Feng stood to the side, looking at Anna's corpse, his expression calm, but a flicker of coldness passed through his eyes.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them, his gaze sweeping over Anna's body.

His sensory perception spread out like an invisible net, enveloping Anna's corpse.

What he was looking for was not the wound, not blood traces, but qi.

Every person has qi, which is the residual of life force.

The qi of the living is strong, that of the dead is weak but not completely gone. Especially for those killed by violence, the killer's qi remains on the victim's body.

That kind of qi is so faint that ordinary people cannot feel it at all, and even ordinary cultivators cannot sense it.

But Jiang Feng is not an ordinary cultivator; his perception far exceeds that of ordinary people.

He sensed carefully, missing no detail.

One second, two seconds, three seconds……

After about half a minute, Jiang Feng's pupils contracted sharply.

He sensed it.

A cold, evil, murderous qi lingered on Anna's chest.

That qi was faint, faint like a wisp of smoke, but it definitely existed.

That was the killer's qi.

It was the qi of the Fire Phoenix Azure Killer.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth.

"Found it."

Lu Xiao froze.

"What?"

Jiang Feng did not answer; he turned his body and looked at Yun Mengrou.

"Go back and rest first. I'll handle the rest."

Yun Mengrou raised her head and looked at him.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Feng said.

"Go find the killer."

Yun Mengrou's tears welled up again.

"I also want to go."

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"You can't go. It's too dangerous."

Yun Mengrou bit her lip, wanting to say something, but seeing Jiang Feng's gaze, the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

She nodded, her voice choked.

"Be careful."

Jiang Feng grunted, turned, and walked out.

Lu Xiao hurriedly followed.

"I'll go with you. The Fire Phoenix Azure Killer is too dangerous for you alone……"

Jiang Feng interrupted her.

"No need. I can handle it alone."

His tone was firm, with no room for negotiation.

Lu Xiao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing.

She watched Jiang Feng's back disappear at the end of the Corridor, her eyes full of worry.

She knew that once Jiang Feng decided something, no one could change it.

Jiang Feng left the hospital, got into the car, and started it.

He closed his eyes, sensing the direction of that qi.

It is in Jiangcheng Suburbs.

Jiang Feng opened his eyes, his gaze resolute.

He pressed the accelerator, and the car shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The car drove through the night, passing through the urban area, passing through the suburbs, and arrived at Jiangcheng Suburbs.

The road grew narrower, the streetlights fewer, and the buildings on either side more sparse.

Finally, the car stopped on a dirt road.
