The Northern Territory.
Thirty years ago, this place was still a picturesque land.
Many ethnic minorities lived here, they had no country of their own, but they were very united.
However, as some of the mineral resources here were discovered, wars began.
This war lasted for thirty years.
Yet, in the inland of China, very few people knew about the horrific events that had occurred here.
Wars outside the national borders were not even reported!
Too many countries joined in, not only to seize mineral resources but also to reopen the gates of China!
But how could wolfish ambitions be concealed?
The land of China also did not allow the events of a century ago to happen again.
Therefore, that was the significance of Ling Feng's appearance here at that time.
If you want war, then let there be war. I will fight you until you surrender!
Those people retreated, but the beautiful homeland that once existed could no longer be rebuilt.
What remained here was not regret, but countless lives lost.
These heroic spirits turned into stars in the sky, twinkling as if pairs of eyes were watching Ling Feng.
"The Northern Territory should be peaceful again. Zu Shen, after your death, the sky here should also change!"
Ling Feng looked up at the sky and muttered this silently in his heart.
The two people behind him did not know why Ling Feng had stopped!
Seeing the expression on Ling Feng's face, neither of them urged him.
They just stood there and waited, but soon they sensed something unusual!
"Xiao Feng, isn't the direction wrong?"
As they got closer, Ling Yan seemed to possess a sense of perception.
Ji Yun Yue, standing beside him, had suppressed her aura to the extreme as per Ling Feng's orders, all to prevent Zu Shen from detecting her.
When the aura was suppressed to the extreme, her perception could not be fully released.
But even so, Ji Yun Yue had already sensed the familiar aura. Indeed, Zu Shen was not far away.
This time it was definitely the real Zu Shen!
Upon hearing the question from behind, Ling Feng did not stop his steps and continued to move rapidly through the forest.
The two could only follow in their confusion.
Soon, Ling Feng suddenly stopped.
Ling Yan and Ji Yun Yue were not reckless people, so even though they were moving at a fast pace, they braked in time!
Then, they looked towards the bushes opposite them!
They saw that they had somehow arrived in front of a cliff.
And it was very deep below, with the sound of flowing water.
If an ordinary person were running this fast and rushed forward, they would fall and surely die!
But these were not the main points!
The main point was that below, by a rapid river, there was a dilapidated building that looked like a brick kiln.
There were many people going in and out of it, and they were all wearing gas masks!
Ji Yun Yue's beautiful eyes lit up at the sight.
Ling Yan next to her gasped, understanding why Ling Feng had brought them here!
"Xiao Feng, the people below..."
"Yes, it's the processing point for the poisonous substances those people were holding!"
Ling Feng calmly stated the truth!
"Damn it, this brick kiln is vast. Who knows how many harmful things are inside. Destroy them!"
Ling Yan was furious. He truly hated these things to the extreme.
Moreover, Ling Yan knew that his strength had improved, so destroying everything below was not very difficult, especially with Ling Feng present!
Therefore, his first instinct was to destroy everything below!
However, Ling Feng shook his head and retreated!
Ling Yan was stunned.
But Ji Yun Yue next to him seemed to understand Ling Feng's intention: "This place is too close to where Zu Shen is. There's a high possibility that these two are related. If that's the case, if we act here, we will definitely alert Zu Shen! At that time, the other party will..."
"Alert the snake by beating the grass!" Ling Yan gasped.
At this crucial moment, he had actually lost focus and wanted to deal with all these people below. This was truly a matter of not knowing the gravity of the situation!
Everything now was to prioritize the rescue of Jiang Ying.
If they alerted the snake by beating the grass here, it would be disastrous for Jiang Ying!
Ling Feng nodded at Ji Yun Yue: "Yes, these things won't run away. News of the drug dealers' incident will definitely be passed on before dawn, meaning we have to act before dawn!"
"Yes!" Ji Yun Yue nodded.
"Alright, let's continue forward, lock onto the location, and wait for an opportunity!"
Ling Feng finished speaking, changed direction, and quickened his pace.
After this incident, Ling Yan dared not lose focus even for a moment.
His mind was solely on rescuing Jiang Ying, and everything had to be based on that premise!
Midnight!
That is, at eleven o'clock.
Ling Feng and the other two had been walking for nearly four hours, and at this time, they finally stopped.
They looked at a small town covered in loess.
At this hour, there were still some lights on.
The expressions of Ling Feng and the other two were not very good.
"Confirmed, Zu Shen is hiding inside, and I've also locked onto Sister-in-law Jiang Ying's location!"
Ji Yun Yue said in a deep voice.
Ling Yan's expression was the most grim. He then said to Ling Feng, "Xiao Feng, we need to be careful when we act, and we can't accidentally injure civilians!"
Ling Feng, however, shook his head: "It's impossible to be one hundred percent sure. Zu Shen is staying here, having made all preparations, so..."
Ling Yan gritted his teeth: "This bastard is truly cunning!"
"It's not just that. That's the border with Japan. If I'm not mistaken, Zu Shen has established contact with the military forces there, and even completely controls those forces. So, if we hesitate even slightly, with a single order from Zu Shen, this place will be razed to the ground, and no one will survive!"
Ling Feng's expression was chilling, and every word was almost squeezed from between his teeth.
Although all of this was expected, when it all presented itself, it still made people's teeth itch with hatred!
"Then what should we do now?"
Ji Yun Yue didn't consider herself a fool, nor was she the type to retreat in the face of battle or suddenly lose her composure.
But facing the current situation, Ji Yun Yue was truly at a loss.
What should be the next step?
Ling Feng slowly stood up: "Lock onto the target, strike with a single blow, retrieve Sister-in-law, even if it's just a corpse!"
"What do you mean?!" Ling Yan's eyes widened!
"We still have the Life and Death Gu!" Ji Yun Yue quickly explained to Ling Yan.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely understood Ling Feng's meaning.
Since Zu Shen had made such thorough preparations, how could they easily get Jiang Ying!
He would definitely use the ancestral clan's inherited corpse gu technique to link his and Jiang Ying's lives together, so killing Zu Shen might also lead to Jiang Ying's death!
"Try not to let the body be too severely damaged, especially the head!"
Ling Feng sternly instructed the two beside him, although the two would have very few opportunities to act.
But Ling Feng still had to express his concerns!
