With a hint of helplessness and unwillingness, Cheng Feng once again carefully examined the black-clothed man's corpse, hoping to find even a sliver of useful clues or belongings.

However, apart from the two short swords and the seemingly ordinary black pouch, the black-clothed man indeed had nothing else conspicuous on him.

Cheng Feng dumped out everything from the pouch. Besides a few scattered silver coins, there was only a neatly folded, yet blank, piece of paper.

Not a single word was left on the paper, only a faint scent of sandalwood lingered.

"This... paper???"

Cheng Feng stared at the paper again, trying to find clues from that trace of sandalwood scent.

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

Just as he was lost in thought, a gust of wind blew, and the paper fluttered gently.

Cheng Feng suddenly froze, as if he had captured some key information.

"This scent... am I to seek out places or people related to sandalwood?"

After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Feng's eyes gradually became firm.

Silver Body Skill, Cheng Feng was determined to obtain it.

A body-tempering art that allows one to overcome the strong with the weak, training the entire body.

It's normal to have some difficulties.

He put away the paper and placed the black-clothed man's corpse and the corpses of Li Lang and the others together.

He took out kerosene from his spatial ring.

He carefully sprinkled the kerosene around the corpses, ensuring that the flames could completely engulf everything, leaving no trace.

By doing this, he was both preventing the enemy from discovering clues through the corpses, and destroying the corpses to prevent them from becoming a source of plague or pollution.

Then, he ignited the kerosene, and the flames instantly blazed up, making the surrounding air extremely hot.

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

"No matter who you are, we'll see!"

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

In the early morning night, the starry sky was still vast and boundless, like the purest painting of nature, spread above Cheng Feng's head.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the air here was exceptionally fresh, making him feel unprecedentedly comfortable and peaceful.

Cheng Feng took a deep breath. These past two days hadn't been smooth, but one always encounters setbacks in life.

For now, there's no lead on the Silver Body Skill, but as long as there's a trace, Cheng Feng still hopes to obtain it as the foundation of the Hong Sect.

He sent out a signal, and the Black Ear members hidden around gradually retreated.

The people were basically all killed, and there were no survivors.

Let's call it a day for today's operation!

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

A Bone Refinement late stage was nothing, but a Viscera Training early stage martial artist was not something an ordinary force could afford to support.

Talent, resources, techniques, medicinal soups, meat... which one doesn't require a large amount of resources?

Cheng Feng asked himself that he had already worked very hard with the panel, but now he was only at Bone Refinement completion, and the Viscera Training realm was still a bit away from him.

Would those forces that cultivated Viscera Training martial artists just let it go?

Cheng Feng didn't believe it.

That was the strength of the high-level members of ordinary prefecture city families.

They would encounter them sooner or later!!!

Cheng Feng currently didn't have a Viscera Training realm technique, but Teacher Wang Fu had one!

He had said before that he had a secret technique at the bottom of his box.

In a couple of days, he would go back and bring up this matter.

Counting from when he became a disciple of the martial arts school until now, it had been almost three years.

What he had experienced could be considered wonderful.

Cheng Feng wouldn't have any dissatisfaction. The only thing he was thinking about was the cultivation world that Fairy Blooming and Falling Flowers had mentioned.

Martial artists train their bodies in the early stage and train their Qi in the later stage. Even now, Cheng Feng had not reached the Viscera Training realm.

The world of those cultivators was still somewhat distant from Cheng Feng.

Cultivators directly start with cultivating spiritual breath, which is completely different from the start of martial artists.

But Cheng Feng wasn't discouraged. Arranging the things in front of him was the best solution.

It was too early to think about those things now.

Returning to the Cheng residence, Cheng Feng directly started cultivating with Su Qing.

Amidst the misty rain, Wushan saw clouds and rain.

Holding Su Qing's soft body and adding the twelve points on the panel to the Water Control skill, Cheng Feng fell into a deep sleep.

Su Qing naturally wouldn't say much. Which woman would turn away her man when he was so infatuated with her?

Having spent these few days together, Su Qing roughly knew what kind of person Cheng Feng was.

A slightly strong, resourceful, and influential man.

It was impossible for such a man to only have one woman.

Su Qing was open to it, only asking that Cheng Feng treat her well!

Cheng Feng naturally wouldn't break his promise. While working hard to add points, the supplies and allowances he gave to Su Qing were also not lacking.

They were all given according to the standards of a concubine in Qingxi County.

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

Cheng Feng didn't want to be gossiped about behind his back by his own women.

The bowl of water would definitely sway, but at least on the surface, it couldn't 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 in developing Blackwood Prefecture.

He tried all kinds of methods, such as soaking in water, smearing with oil, dripping blood, roasting with fire, and using secret medicinal liquids, but he still couldn't see any clues.

However, he finally figured out the origin of this kind of paper.

The largest den of money in Blackwood Prefecture,

"Red Pavilion?" Cheng Feng couldn't help but curl up his lips into a playful smile upon hearing this.

He didn't expect that this mysterious assassin was actually a regular at brothels.

Although he had been busy building his career in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had never set foot in such places of pleasure.

He'll go and take a look tomorrow to see what's up with this paper, and take the chance to broaden his horizons.

"Hmph, an assassin actually indulging in brothels is truly laughable," Leng Feng snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

As the leader of the Hong Sect's Black Ear in Blackwood Prefecture, he knew all kinds of secrets of Blackwood Prefecture like the back of his hand, but he couldn't understand the assassin's unprofessional behavior.

Cheng Feng shook his head and said, "No, this may be our breakthrough point.

A person who still carries this kind of information clue before death, if he's not going to brothels because of lust, then there must be someone in this brothel who is related to him.

But this can be considered leaving some clues. As long as we find his traces in the Red Pavilion, we may be able to follow the clues and find his true identity."

Leng Feng nodded upon hearing this and cupped his fist, saying, "Okay, this subordinate will take a trip to the Red Pavilion tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look tomorrow too," Cheng Feng said indifferently.

No one knew what Leng Feng was thinking in his heart, but there was a hint of surprise on his face as he blurted out, "Does Sect Leader also like to go to brothels?"

Cheng Feng's face turned dark upon hearing this. What kind of words were these???

I have many wives and concubines at home, what's the deal with running to brothels all the time!!!

Leng Feng also reacted and quickly explained, "Then Sect Leader, you have to be careful. Places like brothels are mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are all kinds of people."

Cheng Feng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of propriety. It's you, don't forget that we're going to investigate, don't be blinded by those warblers and swallows."

Leng Feng looked at Cheng Feng, who didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and was silent.

Wasn't it you who wanted to go??? How did it become me being obsessed with warblers and swallows???
