"Alright! Be quiet, everyone!"

Lin Feng sternly shouted at the crowd to stop.

"Everyone lend a hand and carry him back. Don't scare yourself unnecessarily!"

"I don't believe it. There really is a venomous snake in this world that can crawl into a person's stomach and harm them. Let's take it back and ask Mr. Zhang to examine it first."

Inside the Zhenyuan City government office, after Lin Feng and Li Ping'an returned, they immediately sent someone to the General's Mansion to invite Zhang Jing.

In the small courtyard behind the government office, Zhang Jing walked out of the house with a furrowed brow and a solemn expression.

"Mr. Zhang, how is the situation?" Lin Feng stepped forward quickly and asked softly.

Zhang Jing only uttered two words in a deep voice: "Strange!"

The soldier's symptoms were too strange: he had a high fever, was unconscious, and there were faint noises coming from his stomach.

Zhang Jing immediately administered acupuncture treatment, but the needles failed to rouse the person.

His skill with silver needles was unparalleled.

Such a situation was extremely rare in his decades-long medical career.

"I have already written a prescription. I will get the medicine for the patient to reduce the fever."

"As for what Lord Lin said about 'a snake-like object crawling into his mouth,' we cannot confirm its veracity at this time."

Zhang Jing spoke slowly and solemnly, "Snakes always bite with their venomous fangs; I've never heard of them crawling into a person's stomach."

Lin Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then solemnly pleaded, "Mr. Zhang, this brother suffered this misfortune while investigating a case with me. Please take good care of him and make sure he is safe."

Zhang Jing returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "Lord Lin, rest assured, healing the sick and saving lives is my duty."

"The patient has developed some purple rashes, which may be contagious."

"This courtyard will be left to my disciples and me to take care of. We can allow others to come into contact with it after we confirm that this strange illness is not contagious."

Purple macules?

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat; he seemed to have heard of these symptoms somewhere before...

Before he could think it through, Li Ping'an's voice suddenly came, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Lin, that guy confessed!"

Li Ping'an had skilled interrogators under his command, and after a round of interrogation, even the toughest person couldn't withstand it.

The Green Snake Society members who were previously arrested at Lin Feng's residence have revealed everything they know.

He was assigned by the higher-ups of the Green Snake Society to secretly infiltrate the vicinity of the Lin residence.

When Lin Feng arrived at the Wang family, he attempted to kidnap their family members without authorization, but was apprehended on the spot by Li Ping'an.

According to his confession, in addition to its main altar, the Green Snake Society had another large, hidden stronghold in the city, located in an old house in the southwest corner of Zhenyuan City.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Feng was overjoyed and immediately gathered his men with Li Ping'an, setting out overnight to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

This time, we absolutely cannot let them escape again!

The night was deep, in that inconspicuous old house in the southwest corner of Zhenyuan City.

Lu Qingqing's shoulders were partially exposed as she carefully applied ointment to the wound.

A few days ago, Lin Feng broke her bones with that punch at the General's Mansion.

Although several days have passed, the pain still lingers faintly.

The ointment seeped into her skin, bringing a cool sensation, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Master!" Chen Yu's respectful voice came from outside the door, "Your subordinate has something to report!"

Lu Qingqing quickly dressed and replied, "Come in!"

As soon as Chen Yu entered, she asked directly, "How's the situation at the main headquarters?"

Chen Yu nodded slightly: "Just as the leader predicted, the government troops did indeed go to the main altar, but found nothing. Also, Lin Feng... was not invaded by that thing."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Qingqing's face: "What a pity. I really wanted to see him tortured to the point of wishing for death. Was there anything else unusual?"

Chen Yu quickly handed over several slips of paper: "The spies monitoring the General's Mansion, the South Gate, and the Wang family have sent their intelligence on time. However, the spies responsible for monitoring the Lin Mansion have not yet sent any news back."

Lu Qingqing turned to look at Chen Yu, her tone instantly turning serious: "How late are you?"

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then held up one finger: "It's been about an hour. I've already sent someone to contact him."

Lu Qingqing's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, immediately notify everyone to relocate to the next branch!"

Chen Yu looked troubled: "Master, we've already moved once, and all the brothers in the guild are exhausted, both physically and mentally. Perhaps... we should wait for the men I sent to return before making further plans?"

Lu Qingqing's attitude was resolute: "No need to wait! Move immediately!"

She was always cautious and dared not delay for even a moment, fearing that if she was a step too late, she would be surrounded by government troops.

But Lu Qingqing was still a step too late.

"call out--"

A sharp whistle pierced the night sky, instantly breaking the deathly silence of the old house.

The old house was instantly surrounded by torches on all four sides.

Large numbers of government troops poured out from both the front and back gates.

In order to wipe out the remaining members of the Green Snake Society, Lin Feng borrowed 600 regular soldiers from Lü Zheng, who now surrounded the old house completely.

"boom!"

The front door was smashed open with a bang, and before the Green Serpent Society members guarding the door could react, they were riddled with arrows.

Lin Feng took the lead, drawing his Cheng Ying sword with lightning speed, and successively took the lives of three Green Snake Society members.

"Kill! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

He had long harbored a deep hatred for the Green Snake Society.

These thugs not only tried to abduct his bride, but now they dare to covet his family again. They're practically courting death!

Lin Feng charged forward, and none of the Green Snake Society members along the way could withstand three of his moves.

They marched on so triumphantly until they finally encountered resistance in front of a large courtyard in the back of the residence.

Chen Yu led more than ten followers, blocking Lin Feng and Li Ping'an's path.

Although Chen Yu was dressed as a scholar, he carried a horizontal sword in his hand, and his whole body exuded a chilling murderous aura!

"Halt! This road is blocked!"

Lin Feng looked up and couldn't help but laugh: "Who do we have here? It's Mr. Chen from the jade gambling den!"

"What, instead of running a jade gambling business, you've become a rebel?"

Chen Yu sneered, "Traitor? I, Chen Yu, have never been loyal to that Han emperor, so how can I be a traitor? If you want to pass, you'll have to get past this sword in my hand first!"

Lin Feng glanced at the courtyard behind Chen Yu, then lowered his voice and said to Li Ping'an, "Brother Li, I'm leaving this place to you. Try to keep Chen Yu alive. I'm going inside to chase that 'big fish'!"

Since Chen Yu is able to show his face in the jade gambling market and is willing to take the risk to obstruct others, he must not be the leader of the Green Snake Society.

Lin Feng's target has always been only the leader of the Green Snake Society!

The battle erupted instantly, with Li Ping'an leading more than fifty men in a fierce attack on Chen Yu.

Chen Yu's swordsmanship is sharp and unpredictable.

Li Ping'an, however, followed the tough and fierce path of the military.

His moves are simple, direct, and sweeping, with each strike aimed directly at the vital points, without any fancy moves.

Two completely different sword techniques clashed fiercely in the night, sparks flying everywhere.

On the other side of the inner courtyard, a group of cult members were protecting Lu Qingqing, who was wearing a green snake mask, and Zheng Zhangjian, who only had one arm, as they fled in panic.

"Master, the back entrance is just ahead!"

A Green Snake Society leader lowered his voice and said, "There are fewer enemy troops at the back gate. We will fight to the death to cover our leader's escape!"

"Whoosh!"

Before the leader could finish speaking, a black arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness, piercing precisely the throat of the cultist in front of him.

"Bang!"

The follower fell backward, his face covered in blood, which splattered all over the leader's legs.

"There are enemies!"

The leader was terrified, cried out in alarm, and quickly looked up to see what was happening.

But the area ahead was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and surprise, two more sounds of wind breaking came from behind.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two arrows accurately struck two believers in the back of the heart.

The two of them fell straight down without uttering a sound.

"Who?! What kind of hero are you, sneaking around like this? Show yourself if you dare!" the leader roared hoarsely.

A moment later, a figure slowly walked out from the courtyard in front.

He was dressed in a green robe, with a sword at his waist, a quiver on his back, and a stiff bow in his hand, the bowstring still vibrating slightly.

Lin Feng glanced at Lu Qingqing, who was being protected in the middle, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Should I call you the leader of the Green Snake Society, or... Madam Lu?"

A surge of intense killing intent instantly welled up in Lu Qingqing's beautiful eyes, and she gritted her teeth as she uttered two words: "Lin—Feng!"
