Liu Dahai was utterly stunned!
The man standing before him was, in his heart, the most terrifying existence in this world.
Or rather, he was a powerful being even inferior to the king-level monsters he yearned to study, the most perfectly evolved creature on this planet!
"Impossible! How can you be the Zhenbei Heavenly Venerate? This is absolutely impossible… With such immense power, I don't believe you haven't undergone gene modification yourself. Humans cannot defeat king-level monsters; you must have acquired the power of a king-level monster, it must be so!"
Liu Dahai stammered, his words trembling with fear.
Ling Feng merely glanced dismissively at Liu Dahai. "A beast like you will never understand true strength in your lifetime. You lack even the most basic human pride and sense of belonging. Living is a waste of air."
With that, Ling Feng turned. "Yang Fei, send them on their way!"
"Yes, execute them!"
Yang Fei gave a cold order and personally beheaded Liu Dahai on the spot.
The others acted swiftly, and soon all their heads fell to the ground.
Some, possibly due to genetic changes, still exhibited some reactive responses even after decapitation.
Their corpses, even in death, twitched, appearing neither human nor ghost.
Lin Siqi watched the scene and couldn't help but shake her head. "These people deserved to die. It's just a pity that those young people lacked the ability to distinguish right from wrong. They've now become these monstrous things themselves!"
Ling Feng then possessively embraced Lin Siqi. "These are not things you need to worry about. I will have someone create antidotes for them. The important conclusion today is that all this research is a wrong direction, both for those foreign fellows and for this Liu Dahai!"
"Then the Liu Corporation…"
Lin Siqi's face was filled with worry!
However, she stopped mid-sentence, acutely aware of the corporation's power and hesitant to have Ling Feng face such formidable opponents so soon.
Ling Feng shook his head, his expression growing even more somber.
"I suspect that when I was frozen, it was the work of two brothers from the Liu Corporation!"
Lin Siqi's beautiful eyes widened. "Is that true? Then… we must seek revenge!"
"Haha, since when did you become so vengeful!"
Ling Feng was amused by Lin Siqi.
Lin Siqi's pretty face flushed slightly, and then she gritted her teeth at Ling Feng. "These bastards, if it weren't for them, these three years, with you here, wouldn't have turned out like this!"
Ling Feng composed himself, nodding. "You're right. It's time they paid the price for their foolishness!"
Lin Siqi's face showed concern. "Ling Feng, are you going abroad?"
"No need to go abroad. I'll have them come to me. The current situation should be enough to make them restless!"
Ling Feng said calmly, as if he had already grasped the entire situation!
A hint of curiosity flickered in Lin Siqi's beautiful eyes, but she didn't press further.
The group left the scene, and Yang Fei began to clean up the aftermath.
Over the next two days, Chuandou became extremely tense. Simultaneously, the Jisheng Group in safety zones across the country began a serious rectification campaign. In a single sweep, nearly three thousand people were sent to prison, twenty thousand were dismissed, and some others mysteriously disappeared!
And so, Ling Feng's honeymoon trip came to an end.
Returning to Hanjiang, the absence of the Yin family seemed to have made the very air feel fresher.
"Heavenly Venerate, the matter has been thoroughly investigated. It can be confirmed that those蛊 worms are indeed related to Zuo Shen."
Yang Fei reported gravely!
Ling Feng was drinking with his elder brother, Ling Yan, while several women accompanied them. Upon hearing Yang Fei's words, their expressions immediately darkened.
Zuo Shen.
This name seemed to have long vanished into the river of history. If not for Yang Fei mentioning it, they would have long forgotten who Zuo Shen was.
But the moment this name surfaced, everyone felt an involuntary chill.
Especially Ling Yan and his wife, who had both been controlled by Zuo Shen. However, it could be said that if Zuo Shen hadn't caused trouble back then, these two wouldn't have been resurrected.
Yet, this name had always cast a significant shadow over them!
Ling Feng's expression also turned grim. "That's impossible. I personally killed him back then!"
Although Zuo Shen had been a persistent nuisance, escaping Ling Feng's grasp several times, Ling Feng was certain of one thing: the last time, Zuo Shen had no chance to escape. This meant he must have been dealt with by Ling Feng.
The reappearance of Zuo Shen's actions at this time was naturally unacceptable to Ling Feng.
Yang Fei quickly stated, "What I mean is that his methods bear a strong resemblance to Zuo Shen's. I currently suspect it might be one of Zuo Shen's subordinates or a disciple. Their whereabouts are mysterious, and they are extremely cautious. Upon detecting our pursuit, they fled directly outside the safety zone, seemingly heading towards the former Northern Territory!"
Only then did Ling Feng nod slightly. "Hmm, continue the investigation."
"Yes!"
Yang Fei acknowledged and left.
The conversation on the table returned to its previous topic.
"Xiao Feng, the Ling family's intention is for the wedding to be held at the Ling family estate. Although the estate is a bit old, it's still quite spacious, and doing so would also lend more prestige."
Ling Yan said.
Tang Ru, beside him, looked shy. The wedding between her and Ling Feng was imminent.
Compared to the wedding held at Lin Siqi's home in Hanjiang, this wedding would clearly be more grand, and it also marked Ling Feng's official return to the Ling family!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a return to ancestral roots. Tang Ru felt as if she were entering a legitimate marriage.
Others would not receive such treatment!
Indeed, such a wedding style was only fitting for Tang Ru!
However, Ling Feng directly shook his head at Ling Yan. "No need!"
Tang Ru was startled. "Why?"
She instinctively asked.
Ling Yan also frowned slightly.
Ling Feng looked at Tang Ru and said calmly, "You should know me. Things are already quite high-profile. If it's at the Ling family, even more people will come. All the influential families and nobles of Jiangbei will gather. I don't like that."
Tang Ru instinctively wanted to say she liked it, but she quickly remembered Ling Feng's personality and then bit her lower lip, nodding. "Okay, then."
Seeing the atmosphere becoming a bit tense, Ling Yan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. "Xiao Feng, do you still have some reservations about the Ling family?"
Ling Feng shook his head. "No, Brother. You're overthinking it. The closer people are, the more they should maintain a distance. The current Ling family still lacks a certain magnanimity. It's difficult for me to point these things out to them. Brother, you should go back tonight and inform them. Find a hotel and invite only those who are close to us!"
