Qin Ke Wei did not hide anything, stating her purpose, "The reason I am here is still because I want revenge!"
"Revenge? What kind of revenge do you still have to seek? Everyone in the world considers you an enemy now. You should be hiding. Wasn't your revenge resolved years ago?" Shen Feng's heart was filled with questions.
Logically, Qin Ke Wei, who had been placed on the kill-on-sight list by everyone in the world, should be living in a secluded mountain village to avoid being discovered. Yet, Qin Ke Wei was not like that at all. Instead, she appeared in public brazenly, speaking of revenge. There were plenty of people who wanted to take revenge on her.
Qin Ke Wei explained, "Most of the people who framed me are already dead. Many of them were killed by you. Of the three remaining, two were killed by my students, and one is said to have gone to the Middle East and has not returned. This organization is the Heavenly Dragon Bureau."
"That's true. Back then, when Old Wang and I were preparing to smuggle, they wanted to cut off our trade routes, so we took care of more than half of them!" Shen Feng nodded, confirming the truth of the matter.
Qin Ke Wei continued to explain, "These enemies are no longer important, but I also know that there are many enemies in the Lüliang Mountains that I need to deal with! Their leader is called Chen Xin Tie. It was he who tortured me with illusions for a month."
Shen Feng also remembered. The boss of the Lüliang Mountains was a guy who could use illusions. He had also ambushed him at sea before. When they met again, they specifically rushed from the Lüliang Mountains to rescue Long Qian and others. Shen Feng had thought about revenge before, but there was simply no opportunity, so he chose to give up.
He never expected that Qin Ke Wei also had grievances with these people, and at this time, Qin Ke Wei wanted to seek revenge on them.
Shen Feng then looked at the incense table that Qin Ke Wei had broken. He remembered that Qin Ke Wei did not believe in Buddhism, but now Qin Ke Wei was extremely devout, which was truly strange.
Qin Ke Wei explained, "Shen Feng, have you forgotten? Today is the Ghost Festival, also known as the Zhongyuan Festival. I am praying for Yue Heng Yi. After his wrongful death, he must have become a lonely wandering spirit. He surely won't fare well underground, so I am begging for Buddha's blessing."
Shen Feng was also helpless upon hearing this. He could tell that Qin Ke Wei was clearly uneasy, which was why she kept praying. When a person cannot find solace, they will seek a substitute. Buddhism emerged at this time, especially since the theory of reincarnation in Buddhism was well-known. Therefore, Qin Ke Wei ultimately chose to believe in Buddhism.
"Then be careful. The people in the Lüliang Mountains are not simple. You could be killed easily. When entering the mountains, it's best to hold a needle in your hand to stimulate yourself with pain, so you don't get lost in illusions." Shen Feng had nothing else to say. At this moment, he could only wish Qin Ke Wei success in her revenge.
Afterward, Shen Feng invited Qin Ke Wei to eat and drink, but Qin Ke Wei declined. Instead, she remained kneeling before the Buddha statue. At the banquet, everyone was still behaving wildly. At the farewell banquet, everyone had revealed their true feelings.
Qin Ke Wei knelt devoutly behind the incense table, praying earnestly. Today was the Ghost Festival. According to folk legends, on the Zhongyuan Festival, the gates of hell would open, and wandering spirits would emerge from them. Therefore, it was often a time to pay respects to the deceased. The person Qin Ke Wei felt most sorry for was Yue Heng Yi, and now she wanted to pray for him patiently.
After the farewell, everyone needed to part ways. Shen Feng glanced in Qin Ke Wei's direction and found that she had already left. It was already noon. Everyone bid each other farewell, and Shen Feng led his subordinates on foot to the south.
Many people were drunk, and in this state, they clearly could not fly. Therefore, they needed to walk for a while until everyone had sobered up before flying again.
At this moment, the others were also giving their parting advice: "Be very careful when you pass through checkpoints. Some checkpoints will directly arrest people for forced labor. You must not be captured."
"Nonsense, you still have to go to Yantai. Be careful when passing through the Taihang Mountains. There are too many bandits here," another group replied.
"That's right. I heard that there are many bandits in the Taihang Mountains, especially in times of chaos. The people here can farm, and they can also rob passers-by when outsiders pass through," others also said at this time.
"Shut up. You don't understand the situation in the Taihang Mountains at all. If you go towards Guanyin Mountain Village, you'll be fine. There's a guy there with immense strength, estimated to be a sixth-tier evolutionist. He has subdued dozens of surrounding mountain villages and operates uniformly. Nowadays, the safest route to pass through the Taihang Mountains is the Guanyin Mountain Village route," the people from Yantai immediately retorted.
"There's such a person? How have I never heard of it?"
"There are many things you haven't heard of. I heard this man is called Bai Tian Ci. He fell from the sky and was picked up, which is why he got that name."
"Hmph. It must be made up. This name is too common, and which famous person doesn't invent a bizarre origin story for themselves? Saying he fell from the sky, it must all be fabricated."
Afterward, everyone bid farewell, leaving many bottles and jars by the cave entrance. Since revenge had been sought, it was time to part ways. As for whether they would meet again, that was uncertain.
After Shen Feng led his men through the mountains for a while, he suddenly heard cries for help. It was a young man's voice, shouting loudly, "Help! Murder! Help!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Feng immediately asked Wei Xing Long beside him, "What do you think?"
Wei Xing Long did not hesitate and said, "City Lord, pretend you didn't hear. There are many bad people in this world who specialize in using people's sympathy to set traps. Once you go over, you'll fall into the trap. What place is this? This is the Lüliang Mountains, which is as poor as a ghost. Naturally, people's hearts are treacherous."
Shen Feng understood Wei Xing Long's meaning. Decades ago, the Lüliang Mountains were actually called a region, indicating extreme poverty. Later, it became a city. The people here were very poor, especially in this chaotic period. The people here loved to rob passers-by, so it was better to pretend not to know.
However, Li Shan Yun retorted, "We have over three hundred people here, what are we afraid of? How many people on the other side can ambush us? Of course, we should go and see. Perhaps someone is actually committing murder! We can stop them."
Shen Feng nodded and said, "Let's go and see. Once we've seen, we'll know the specific situation."
Shen Feng was not worried about encountering danger. With his strength, even if he encountered danger, he could retreat safely.
The group then walked forward, preparing to see what had happened. Following the direction of the cries for help, a young man soon appeared on the road. Upon seeing Shen Feng, he acted as if he had seen a relative. Shen Feng's image was already well-known to others. Now that the God of Wind had appeared here, what was there to hesitate about?
"God of Wind, help! Someone is chasing me!" The young man ran to Shen Feng and knelt down, appearing to be still in shock.
Shen Feng quickly asked, "Who is chasing you? Tell me quickly, and I can protect you."
The young man quickly replied, "My name is Xue Wen Ming. My father and I went hunting today, and we happened to encounter the demoness Qin Ke Wei. After she saw us, she intended to silence us. My father told me to run quickly while he held off the demoness, so I am crying for help."
Upon hearing this, Shen Feng couldn't help but think, "Qin Ke Wei, your actions are going too far. Silencing people after discovering her identity will surely incur more dissatisfaction. I should try to persuade her."
Shen Feng wanted to stop Qin Ke Wei's reckless behavior, so he said to Xue Wen Ming, "Take me to see. I will protect you, but I hope you are not lying. If you provoked Qin Ke Wei first, I won't be able to intercede."
"God of Wind, how could we possibly provoke such a demoness?" Xue Wen Ming said aggrievedly, and then led Shen Feng to where Qin Ke Wei was.
Finally, about a kilometer away, they found two people. One was a strong man around forty years old, hanging by the roadside, and beside him was a beautiful woman.
"God of Wind, it's her! My father has been captured by her," Xue Wen Ming cried out as soon as he saw his father hanging there.
Shen Feng looked closely at the woman. It was indeed Qin Ke Wei's appearance, but there were some differences, perhaps in her temperament. More importantly, he had just seen Qin Ke Wei in the morning, and she was already disfigured. Yet, now she looked as beautiful as ever. What was going on?
As Shen Feng was in doubt, the woman surprisingly spoke with joy, "Lord Shen Fu Yao, we meet again!"
Shen Feng had not heard this title for many years. After all, this name had not been used for a long time, and very few people knew it. Shen Feng then looked at the woman and asked, "Are you Saya ka?"
Saya ka quickly nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. I didn't expect us to meet here."
After confirming her identity, Shen Feng quickly said, "Then quickly let him down. Xue Wen Ming, this is not Qin Ke Wei. I guarantee with my name that she is definitely not the demoness you spoke of."
Xue Wen Ming was still skeptical, while Saya ka spoke up, "Lord Shen Fu Yao, I cannot let him go. He knows the whereabouts of Lord Yue Heng Yi. If I let him go, he might escape."
