Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Chapter 240 Dust to dust, ashes to ashes

"You want me to betray the Holy Church? You little beast, you can forget about it, hahahaha... uh!"

Faced with Lu Feng's interrogation, Zhao Yihu laughed maniacally, then his face suddenly turned black, and traces of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"not good....!"

The sudden change startled Lu Feng, who seemed to remember something. He immediately raised his hand and grabbed Zhao Yihu's neck. "This guy... is dead!"

Zhao Yihu's head drooped limply, his face turned pitch black and purple, and he was completely lifeless, as if the poison had taken effect and he was beyond dead!

"Damn it! It's the Rebellious Words Devouring Heart Gu again! How could I have forgotten about that...!"

Looking at Zhao Yihu's already cold corpse, Lu Feng frowned and gritted his teeth.

Back in the Western Qin Kingdom, he had fought against the Wusheng Sect. At that time, those Wusheng Sect members, like Zhao Yihu before him, had all been infected with the Rebellious Heart-Eating Gu.

As for the effects of the Rebellious Heart-Eating Gu, Lu Feng had witnessed it firsthand in the past. Once the person afflicted with the Gu intended to reveal any information about the Wusheng Sect, it would activate on its own, causing the host to die instantly from the poison!

In addition, the Rebellious Heart-Eating Gu is also connected to the lifeline of the person afflicted with it. As long as the person afflicted with it is determined to die, they can activate the Gu poison and commit suicide at any time, just like Zhao Yihu did just now.

"Damn it! I'll have to gather intelligence all over again...!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng clenched his fists, his face showing some displeasure. "Just who is this legendary leader of the Wusheng Sect? Whether it was Sun Chuanxiong in the past or Zhao Yihu, the current head镖师 (chief镖师) of the Jiangnan Escort Agency, how come they are all so devoted to this guy, so fearless of death..."

Lu Feng frowned, deeply puzzled.

At present, they know nothing about the Wusheng Sect's ambitions and plans, the Liao Protector mentioned by Zhao Yihu and others, or the mysterious drug slaves.

As for the reason behind the Wusheng Sect joining forces with Qingtian Village to wipe out the entire Kong family of Zhiyang City, Lu Feng was unable to find out, which was quite regrettable!

"Young Master Lu, wait...!"

Lu Feng reached out and put the storage ring left on Zhao Yihu's corpse into his pocket. Just as he was about to leave, Gu Canyang called out to him in a deep voice.

"ancient?"

Lu Feng stopped abruptly, somewhat surprised as well.

"Besides the storage ring, this person had something else on him that you didn't pick up..."

Inside the treasure basin, Gu Canyang's voice drifted out, seemingly with a hidden meaning.

At this moment, Lu Feng noticed that there was an inconspicuous small yellow gourd tied to the inside right side of Zhao Yihu's waist.

Swish!

Raising his hand, Lu Feng channeled his inner energy and poured out all the pills from the yellow gourd in his hand. His face was full of surprise. "Could this be the life-defying elixir that those demonic cultists were talking about?"

Several strange, dark pills lay quietly in Lu Feng's palm, faintly emitting a pungent, bitter odor. They were none other than the "Life-Defying Elixir" that Zhao Yihu had used to refine the drug slaves.

However, compared to ordinary pills, these few life-defying spiritual herbs not only showed no spiritual energy reaction, but were also of very poor quality. It was as if a large number of various medicinal materials had been forcibly fused together using some kind of method, making them almost worthless.

As for ordinary martial artists, if they were to consume these life-defying elixirs, not only would they not improve their Yuan Power cultivation, but they might also experience serious side effects, or even lose their minds and become monsters with only killing intent in their minds, just like that Kong family guard in the past!

"Hehe, it should be right. Those Wusheng Sect martial artists use this kind of strange pill to control a large number of ordinary people, then refine them into drug slaves, and finally use them for their own purposes!"

Gu Canyang chuckled again, then said meaningfully, "Young man from the Lu family, quickly search the corpses of the other Wusheng Sect members and see if they still have any left. Perhaps this old man can help you analyze the mysterious ingredients of this so-called Fate-Defying Elixir..."

"Old Gu, I didn't know you knew about pharmacology? That's amazing!!"

"Stop talking, kid, I'll go look for it right now!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was also somewhat surprised, and then quickly turned over the corpses of the other Wusheng Cult members near the cliff.

Although he himself would never eat these life-defying elixirs, if the pharmacological components of these life-defying elixirs could be analyzed, it might also reveal the ambitions and conspiracies of the Wusheng Sect, so it wouldn't be a waste of effort.

"it's over?"

"Is Zhao Yihu really dead?!"

"We...we survived...!"

Just as Lu Feng was focused on collecting the life-defying elixir, the siblings Kong Yi and Kong Yan, along with the few surviving guards of the Kong family, were overjoyed and wept with sorrow on their faces.

After all, with the death of Zhao Yihu, the leader of the Wusheng Sect's Star Division, it also means that all the masterminds behind the massacre of the Kong family have been brought to justice. It can be said that dust has returned to dust, and all grudges have come to an end.

As for Lu Feng, he naturally and unsurprisingly became the savior of Kong Yi and Kong Yan, as well as a group of surviving Kong family guards.

"Yanzi, if Brother Lu hadn't come to our rescue, we wouldn't have been able to avenge our family, and we might not even be alive now..."

Looking again at Lu Feng, who was wholeheartedly plundering the dead for their money, Kong Yi's face showed emotion. Ignoring his severe injuries, he limped towards Lu Feng, shouting, "Quick! Yanzi, we must hurry and thank Brother Lu...!"

"Brother, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so please take it easy...!"

Upon seeing this, Kong Yan was slightly stunned, and then quickly followed, her expression equally excited.

"Brother Kong Yi, Little Swallow?"

Seeing the Kong siblings suddenly approach, Lu Feng stopped searching the body, then grinned, "Sorry, I was just focused on dealing with Zhao Yihu. Are your injuries alright?"
