Chapter 359: Paper

With a trace of helplessness and unwillingness, Cheng Feng carefully examined the black-clad man's corpse again,

hoping to find even a shred of useful clues or relics.

However, apart from those two short Swords and that seemingly Ordinary black waist pouch,

there was truly nothing else conspicuous on the black-clad man's body.

Cheng Feng poured out everything inside the waist pouch; besides a few scattered pieces of silver,

there was only that neatly folded, yet completely empty slip of paper.

Not a single word was left on the slip, only a faint scent of incense lingering about it.

"This... piece of paper???"

Cheng Feng stared at the slip again, attempting to find clues within that trace of incense.

But no matter how he looked at it, it was just a simple piece of paper.

Just as he fell into deep thought, a gust of wind blew by, and the slip fluttered lightly.

Cheng Feng was startled, as if he had captured some key information.

"This scent... does it mean I need to look for a place or person related to this incense?"

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Feng's gaze gradually became firm.

The Silver Body Technique, Cheng Feng was determined to obtain it.

A Body Refining technique that allows one to overcome the strong with the weak and temper the entire body.

It is normal to face a few more hardships.

He put away the slip and placed the black-clad man's corpse together with the corpses of Li Lang and the others.

He took out fire oil from his Space Ring.

He carefully sprinkled the fire oil around the corpses, ensuring the flames would thoroughly consume everything, leaving no traces behind.

Doing this was not only to prevent enemies from finding clues through the corpses,

but also to destroy these corpses to avoid them becoming a source of plague or pollution.

He then ignited the fire oil, and the flames roared instantly, baking the surrounding air until it was scorching hot.

In the firelight, Cheng Feng's figure appeared lonely yet determined.

"No matter who you are, we shall see!"

Cheng Feng walked out of the warehouse, the raging fire burning behind him.

In the early hours of the morning, the starry sky remained vast and boundless,

as if it were nature's purest painting, spread out above Cheng Feng's head.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city,

the air here was exceptionally fresh, making him feel an unprecedented sense of ease and tranquility.

Cheng Feng took a deep breath; these past two days had not been very smooth.

But as long as one is alive, one is bound to encounter some setbacks.

For now, the follow-up to the Silver Body Technique has no leads.

But as long as there are traces, Cheng Feng still hopes to obtain it as a foundation for the Hong Sect.

He sent out a signal, and the Black Ear members hidden in the surroundings retreated one after another.

The people had basically all been killed, and there were no fish that slipped through the net.

Let's just end today's operation here!

But Cheng Feng knew in his heart that this matter was not over yet.

A Bone Refining Late Stage martial artist is one thing,

but a Organ Refining Initial Stage martial artist is not something an ordinary faction can afford to support.

Talent, resources, techniques, medicinal soups, meat;

which one of these does not require massive resources?

Cheng Feng asked himself if he had worked hard enough with his Panmian.

Yet he was only at Bone Refining Perfection, and the Organ Refining Realm was still a sliver away.

Would those factions that cultivate Organ Refining Martial Artist just let it go like this?

Cheng Feng did not believe it.

That is the strength of the upper echelons of families in an average Prefecture City.

They would meet sooner or later!!!

Cheng Feng currently did not have a technique for the Organ Refining Realm,

but Master Wang had one!

He had previously mentioned that he had a technique kept at the bottom of his chest.

In a couple of days, he would go back and lay this matter out on the table.

Counting from when he became a disciple of the Martial Arts Hall until now, it had been almost three years.

What he had experienced could be considered exciting.

Cheng Feng would not have any dissatisfaction.

The only thing he had some thoughts about was the Cultivation Realm mentioned by Fairy Hua Kai Hua Xie.

Martial Artists refine the body in the early stages and refine Qi in the later stages; even now, Cheng Feng had not reached the Organ Refining Realm.

The world of those cultivators was still some distance away from Cheng Feng.

Cultivators start directly by practicing Spirit Breathing.

It is completely different from the starting point of a Martial Artist.

However, Cheng Feng was not discouraged; arranging the matters at hand was the optimal solution.

It was too early to think about those things now.

Returning to Cheng Mansion, Cheng Feng immediately began to practice with Su Qing.

Amidst the misty rain, they found intimacy in the clouds and rain.

Holding Su Qing's soft, tender body, Cheng Feng added twelve points from his Panmian to his Water Control skill before falling into a deep sleep.

Su Qing naturally would not say anything more.

With her own man being so infatuated with her, what woman would drive him away?

After spending these past few days together, Su Qing also roughly understood what kind of person Cheng Feng was.

A man who was slightly overbearing, possessed astonishing methods, and held significant power.

Such a man could not possibly have only her as his woman.

Su Qing was also broad-minded about it.

She only asked that Cheng Feng treat her well!!

Cheng Feng naturally would not break his word; while diligently adding points,

the supplies and rations he gave to Su Qing were also not lacking.

They were all given according to the standard for a Concubine in Qingxi County.

In the future, the women from Qingxi County led by Zhao Wei would inevitably come to live together.

Cheng Feng did not want to be gossiped about behind his back by his own women.

A bowl of water would certainly ripple, but at least on the surface, it could not be too obvious.

Cheng Feng had also shown that piece of paper to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng was indeed worthy of being the leader of the Hong Sect's Black Ear operating in Heimu Prefecture.

He tried every method, including soaking it in water, rubbing it with oil, dripping blood on it, roasting it over a fire, and using secret medicinal liquids.

Although he had not yet discovered any clues, he had finally figured out the origin of this type of paper.

The biggest den of debauchery in Heimu Prefecture,

"Red Beauty Pavilion?" Upon hearing this, the corners of Cheng Feng's mouth could not help but curl into a playful smile.

He had not expected that this mysterious assassin was actually a regular at a brothel.

Although he had been busy building his career in Great Zhou, he had never stepped foot in such a place of pleasure.

Tomorrow, he would go and take a look to see what the situation was with this piece of paper.

It would be a good chance to broaden his horizons.

"Hmph, an assassin actually indulging in a brothel; how ridiculous." Leng Feng let out a cold snort, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

As the leader of the Hong Sect's Black Ear in Heimu Prefecture, he knew all the various secrets of Heimu Prefecture like the back of his hand,

but he truly could not understand such unprofessional behavior from an assassin.

Cheng Feng, however, shook his head and said, "No, this might be our breakthrough.

A person who carried such information clues before dying,

if he wasn't frequenting the brothel because of lust,

then there must be someone in this brothel associated with him.

At least some traces have been left behind.

As long as we find his tracks in Red Beauty Pavilion,

perhaps we can follow the vine to find his true identity."

Upon hearing this, Leng Feng nodded, cupped his fists, and said, "Very well, this subordinate will go to Red Beauty Pavilion tomorrow."

"No rush, I will go take a look tomorrow as well," Cheng Feng said indifferently.

No one knew what Leng Feng was thinking, but his face showed a trace of surprise as he blurted out, "Sect Master, you also like going to brothels?"

Cheng Feng listened with a face full of black lines; what kind of talk was this???

I have many wives and Concubines at home, what is this situation with running to brothels!!!

Leng Feng also reacted and hurriedly explained, "Then Sect Master, you must be careful; places like brothels are a mix of dragons and snakes, and all kinds of people are there."

Cheng Feng smiled slightly and said, "Rest assured, I have my own sense of propriety.

As for you, don't forget that we are going to investigate; don't get blinded by those singing girls."

Leng Feng looked at Cheng Feng, who had no expression on his face.

He fell silent.

Wasn't it you who wanted to go???

How did it become me who was indulging in the singing girls???
