Chapter 3230

However, facing the eerie pressure emanating from the red mahogany coffin, Wu Feng remained expressionless and casually used a magic treasure to pry open the lid.

As soon as it was opened, that strange aura instantly began to permeate the air; it was highly concentrated, and hallucinations even began to appear in Wu Feng's eyes.

Wu Feng saw a woman dancing gracefully amidst the white mist, her back turned to him, and strains of string and wind music that sounded bone-chillingly eerie appeared in his mind.

Wu Feng felt a wave of pressure wash over his entire body, yet he continued to watch, experiencing the hallucination before him.

Wu Feng knew that hallucinations could also be opportunities and a part of information gathering; he could not let this pass.

As the bone-chilling music grew louder and louder, causing a sense of terror to emerge in Wu Feng's heart, the woman suddenly vanished from before his eyes.

Next, Wu Feng felt a chill on the back of his neck as a pair of icy hands pressed down upon it.

At this very moment, Wu Feng could, of course, have shaken off the owner of these hands at any time, but he still did not do so; instead, he acted slightly like an ordinary person, turning his head in fear to look at the owner of the pair of hands behind him.

The owner of those hands, that terrifying face, finally appeared within Wu Feng's line of sight.

What Wu Feng saw was a seemingly terrifying existence, and this terrifying existence looked at Wu Feng, manifesting a strangeness and chill that defied description.

What Wu Feng saw was a face with misplaced features, various facial parts scattered chaotically across the skull.

Moreover, these features were already quite decayed, presenting an appearance of strangeness and horror.

Yet, facing this grotesque existence, Wu Feng remained under no pressure at all, looking at the entity before him with calm emotions in his eyes.

However, at this very moment, Wu Feng had actually long since created a clone to stand in his place, while his true self had already sent his Primordial Spirit out, standing nearby to watch what this strange existence was truly intending to do.

From the perspective of Wu Feng's Primordial Spirit, this was a strange woman; her figure appeared very plump, and if one ignored her terrifying face at this moment, she likely would have been pursued by many men during her lifetime.

At this time, Widow Wang was staring at Wu Feng with a terrifying face, her two hands gripping the neck of the clone that had turned around.

Chapter 2209: Hallucination

Chapter 2209: Hallucination

Wu Feng's clone, looking at this strange existence, presented an entirely casual posture.

This was requested by Wu Feng's will.

On the body of this strange Widow Zhang, that eerie aura was very thick, making even Wu Feng feel somewhat wary.

However, after a silent standoff, Wu Feng discovered that the look in Widow Zhang's eyes when she looked at him gradually changed from terror to a pitiful expression.

At the same time, a voice appeared in the ears of Wu Feng's clone.

This was a woman's tearful complaint.

"This Immortal, you have finally come. I have suffered so much in this life; I worked hard my whole life to raise my children, but the people around here bullied me and even killed me to seize my property. I beg you, Immortal, to uphold justice for me."

Wu Feng's clone spoke up: "You need not worry. As long as you were indeed a victim, I naturally will not let those who harmed you go unpunished. Tell me the whole story from beginning to end, how about that?"

Upon hearing Wu Feng say this, Widow Zhang seemed to ignite a glimmer of hope and recounted the details of when she was murdered.

In fact, the whole situation was very simple: it was a story of an ordinary, beautiful, and well-proportioned widow who was targeted by people in the village; one night, someone broke into her room wanting to have intercourse with her, but Widow Zhang had a strong character and resisted to the death, resulting in her murder.

However, Widow Zhang did not remember who exactly it was that had harmed her.

No matter how Wu Feng asked, Widow Zhang only pleaded with a ferocious face for Wu Feng to kill the person who had murdered her.

Eventually, Widow Zhang's figure gradually faded away, and this hallucination also vanished completely.

At this very moment, what was displayed before Wu Feng was still that suspended coffin.

And those villagers were all looking up with fearful expressions; if Wu Feng were not still standing there, these people would have already run away.

And that middle-aged man, who had been standing by Wu Feng's side the whole time, was also terrified as he looked at the coffin.

Wu Feng actually very much wanted to open the coffin, but considering that the aura inside was very terrifying, if Widow Wang went berserk after it was opened, he would be plunged into a bitter battle.

Of course, the most urgent matter was still to fulfill Widow Wang's wish.

To find the person who killed her.

Wu Feng sighed slightly and, amidst the gazes of the crowd, buried Widow Wang's coffin once more and re-erected the tombstone.

Next, Wu Feng came down from the hillside and said to the crowd: "After Widow Wang died, her vengeful spirit did not disperse, which is why she has kept coming out to kill people. That man who coveted Widow Wang's beauty and killed her had better stand out, otherwise, this is harming everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked at one another, and eventually, some began to curse loudly.

"I knew it, this Widow Wang was killed by those who coveted her beauty; that person has harmed us all."

"That's right, stand out! You had the guts to do it, don't you have the guts to admit it?"

Wu Feng watched coldly from the side; he discovered that everyone seemed to be filled with righteous indignation and appeared to be acting normally, with no one showing signs of shame or fear.

"It seems that finding the person who killed Widow Wang is the only way to clear this place."

Wu Feng thought to himself secretly.

Next, Wu Feng began to chat with these people one by one.

Chapter 2210: Reason

Chapter 2210: Reason

With just a few words, Wu Feng could determine whether or not this person had killed Widow Wang.

However, after a full round, everyone in the entire market had been questioned by Wu Feng, and no one confessed, nor did anyone appear to have a guilty conscience.

Wu Feng used various investigative abilities, yet could not find any loopholes.

Clearly, things were now at a stalemate.

And the sky was also gradually beginning to darken.

As the sky grew dark, everyone began to become anxious.

Because every night meant that a corpse would appear in the market the next day.

Everyone did not want to become that corpse, so amidst their individual anxieties, they all began to curse loudly, saying all sorts of ugly things.

Yet, still no one confessed, and still no one showed any abnormalities.

The sky finally turned completely dark, and Wu Feng casually took out a magic treasure to replace the sun, floating in the air, and let everyone gather around him to rest.

Wu Feng did not believe that if Widow Wang's vengeful spirit acted, it would be able to kill someone right under his nose.

And those villagers did not dare to leave either, gathering around Wu Feng to rest, though they were all somewhat unable to sleep.

They endured the whole night like this, and by the time the sky brightened, not a single person had fallen asleep.

During this time, no one was attacked, and everything was calm.

However, something that made Wu Feng vigilant happened: in a corner of the market, a corpse had actually appeared.

And this corpse, when it was still alive, had been sitting less than five meters away from Wu Feng.

Everyone was even more terrified; looking at the corpse, many were on the verge of a breakdown.

And Wu Feng looked at that corpse and discovered that it truly looked as if it were sleeping, without a single wound.

After Wu Feng investigated, he found that not only were there no wounds on the corpse, but there were no symptoms of death within the physical body either.

However, this person had truly died, dead as dead could be.

Wu Feng could not feel any vitality from this person.

Even the soul had dissipated completely.

This surprised Wu Feng greatly.

One must know that if a person has just died, there would actually still be some soul remnants in their physical body, yet this newly deceased person had no traces of soul remnants at all, as if after being killed, their soul had been completely devoured.

However, could someone devour a person's soul silently right under Wu Feng's nose?

Wu Feng felt that it was impossible for anyone to do this, even a ghost.

Suddenly, Wu Feng's heart stirred, and he had a guess.

Thus, Wu Feng began to conduct experiments.

The next day, these people were still surrounding Wu Feng; they clearly had nowhere to go and could only gather around him, hoping for a glimmer of life.

However, on the third morning, someone had died again, with the exact same method of death as before.

The time of death was about half an hour earlier than before.

Wu Feng continued to remain calm.

Just like this, after a full ten days had passed, ten people surrounding Wu Feng had died, all dying silently.

At this point, someone finally couldn't take it anymore and questioned Wu Feng, claiming that Wu Feng was a liar who had tricked them into coming here to die.

And Wu Feng only looked coldly at the person questioning him.

These people also gradually lowered their heads under Wu Feng's gaze, not daring to speak.

After all, they knew very well that although Wu Feng could not save them, he was still a high-level expert, an existence capable of easily dealing with them all.
