After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"You're researching this?"

Lin'an looked up and smiled at Wu Shanfu.

“My great-aunt used to be poor and looked down upon by her family. After her bloodline was awakened, my aunt even complained that her family’s house in the third ring road of Bizhou City was so nice, and that a poor wretch like me had never seen it.”

Lin'an's face twitched.

"At that time, I thought, I must make money, I must buy a big house, I must buy a luxury car, and I must make all the relatives who look down on me kneel down and lick my shoes."

Lin'an nodded his chin toward the cave entrance.

"Do you know how much the bounty is on Wang Feng, Dong Tailai, and Chang Bei?" ←∩∶（）]※

A manager with half his hair turned white laughed.

"The net worth of these three criminal tycoons is a minor matter. Manager Lin, you must have made a lot of money by now, right? You must be very influential in front of your relatives, right?"

Lin'an said with disdain.

"Ah, I bought a luxury house in Zhongzhou City that is three times the size of my aunt's house. I brought my aunt to see it, and she said that since the house is so nice, why not use it as a wedding house for her son?"

Several managers around couldn't help but laugh.

Lin'an said angrily.

"I took out a 20-year mortgage on a house for her son's wedding! That shameless bitch of an auntie even said that I'm a girl and it's useless for me to have a nice house! Her son is the pillar of the family because he can have children. Later, she even told my mom to put away my salary card and give it to her to keep. What does a girl need money for!"

Wu Shanfu sighed.

"Just hearing that makes my blood pressure spike."

Wu Shanfu's father has a doctorate and is now a professor at a top university. Because of this, he has never encountered anything like sexism. But not encountering it doesn't mean he can't empathize. Just listening to Lin Anru's words, Wu Shanfu couldn't help but want to beat up that aunt.

"You're still okay."

Leng Qing's voice came from outside the temple gate.

All the supervisors looked towards the temple gate.

Leng Qing, a cigarette dangling from his lips, walked in.

“When I was nineteen, I was admitted to the literature department of a prestigious university. As soon as I entered, an aunt of mine found me and introduced me to a man in his thirties who had a daughter and was a divorced man who was also abusive.”

Mu Yuan couldn't help but applaud.

“A person’s social standing determines the kind of people they can associate with. Your aunt can only find people like that.”

Leng Qing shook her head.

"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. This aunt can't stand seeing others do well. She even dared to recommend gamblers and drug dealers to my older sisters who are pursuing doctoral and master's degrees, as if she's afraid we'll be too comfortable and make her uncomfortable." Si

With a sigh, Leng Qing's face darkened.

"After that, I started to study hard and strive for improvement. By the time I realized it, I already had something that other people never had in their entire lives. The only problem was..."

Leng Qing walked to the front of the crowd and ascended the altar.

"I'm still single, and my parents keep urging me to get married."

Mu Yuan smiled wryly.

"Isn't this because your expectations are too high?"

Mu Yuan and Leng Qing dated, but Mu Yuan didn't like a partner who put pressure on him, so they broke up peacefully after only two days. Afterwards, Mu Yuan introduced Leng Qing to several men on blind dates, but most men wouldn't like a woman who was so outstanding that she made them feel pressured.

So the blind date fell through.

Lin'an chuckled softly.

"So our senior executives lowered their own demands."

Lin Anru winked at Leng Qing.

"How about that little puppy? Do you like him, Sister Leng?"

Lin An knew that Leng Qing had gone out to find Zhou Yan.

Leng Qing didn't reply, but simply walked down the steps of the altar.

Wu Shanfu, who was standing nearby, hurriedly said.

"Mu Yuan, let's go down together. The rest of you keep watch and don't let anyone unrelated down."

Lin'an stood up and said.

"Alright, I'll stay here unless someone can step over my dead body!"

Wu Shanfu gave Lin Anru a thumbs-up with satisfaction, then followed Mu Yuan down the stairs.

The downward staircase had no lights or torches, and after a certain depth, it became pitch black. Mu Yuan, who possessed the bloodline of the Mirage, snapped his fingers, and a fireball appeared around him, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Wu Shanfu, standing to the side, looked at the surrounding stones and gently touched the stone wall with her fingers.

"This underground passage doesn't look like a small village with a few hundred people."

Mu Yuan also looked at the stone that Wu Shanfu was touching.

The stone has a smooth surface and a bluish-black color. It is obvious that it is not made of concrete, but rather cut, processed and polished from a single stone. Such an underground passage could not have been built with this kind of building material without a long period of time and a large amount of manpower.

"Fengyang Village, Fengyang Village..."

Leng Qing, who was walking at the front, muttered to himself.

“There must have been a master who suppressed something in this place in the past. These passages and other things were probably made by that master.”

After descending more than twenty meters, the stairs reached the bottom, where a passageway stretched out on both sides. Some doors were closed, some were half-open, and some were fully open.

Wu Shanfu walked over to Leng Qing's side and pointed to a room not far away with its door fully open.

"That's where I found Wang Feng, Dong Tailai, and Changbei."

Leng Qing nodded and walked to the room Wu Shanfu pointed to. The door to the room was already open, revealing the interior.

The room was quite simple, with only a bed, a cabinet, and a table. There were recesses on the walls for holding torches, which was probably the only source of light in the place.

In front of the bed, there were three corpses lying on the ground. The corpses were covered in dust, but they were not rotten or even dried out.

Leng Qing walked to the corpses, shook off the dust from one of them, and then turned it over.

Mu Yuan walked up behind Leng Qing, who asked without turning her head.

"photo……"

Mu Yuan took out his phone, tapped a few times, and handed it to Leng Qing. Leng Qing glanced at the photo on Mu Yuan's phone screen, then turned the body back over.

"They really do look alike."

The photos Mu Yuan showed were of Wang Feng, Dong Tailai, and Chang Bei. The people in the photos looked exactly like the corpses lying on the ground.

Wu Shanfu came out.

“This place has been underground for decades. It’s understandable that it hasn’t decomposed here, but it’s still the same as when it died, instead of turning into a mummified corpse.”

Wu Shanfu walked up to Wang Feng's corpse and kicked it.

"This is something that normal people cannot do."

Wu Shanfu's sword flashed, and then she transformed into a shooting star and flew to the face of the eight corpses in front of Leng Qing.

The corpse's face wasn't sliced ​​open by the sword energy that could cut through tanks; instead, a few sparks flew out.

Wang Feng's bloodline is that of a Xuan Turtle, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities. Even someone as powerful as Wu Shanfu could not damage his skin with sword energy.

Mu Yuan chuckled softly.

"Oh my God, if you skin these three corpses, you could even use their bones as magic artifacts."

Leng Qing nodded.

"The strength of this flesh and blood is truly astonishing; it is definitely a demigod-level awakened being."

"The only problem is?"

Leng Qing took in the other two corpses covered in dust.

"As three top demigods, monsters capable of easily destroying a city, why did they die..."

Mu Yuan continued.

"A poor and remote place, a rural area with only a few hundred households."

Mu Yuan had read a story in some martial arts novels about a martial arts master who was killed by a local thug because of his carelessness and negligence.

This story teaches the protagonist in the novel not to underestimate anyone.

But demigods are not things that humans can kill. They have the vitality to survive even with shattered internal organs and the regenerative ability to grow back even if half of their body is cut off.

Some demigods who can elementalize their bodies are practically immune to physical attacks.

In this situation, a demigod simply stands still and lets ordinary people attack him; ordinary people can't kill a demigod. (8 = zero)

But now, the corpses of three demigods lie on the ground, telling the three demigods who came that this place is not normal.

Of course, as an investigator personally appointed by the federal government, a big shot who specializes in deceiving the public, he has encountered this kind of thing many times.

"Wang Feng, Dong Tailai, and Chang Bei are all dead. Everyone, focus your attention and be ready to fight at any time."

Leng Qing turned around and left the room with a serious expression.

Mu Yuan and Wu Shanfu were both on edge as they followed Leng Qing out of the room and then walked together deeper into the basement.

This passageway is about 100 meters long, with 50 rooms on each side, totaling more than 100 rooms.

Wu Shanfu, Mu Yuan, and Leng Qing occasionally turned their heads to look at the surrounding rooms, but they didn't stop and kept moving forward.

At the end of the passage was an underground plaza, about 100 square meters in size and 3 meters high, with 49 sculptures in it, which Wu Shanfu recognized.

Wu Shanfu muttered to herself.

"The Twenty-Eight Mansions?"

Mu Yuan, who was standing to the side, stared at the other sculptures and echoed his sentiments.

“I saw the Nine Luminaries Star Lord.”

Leng Qing walked up to the six guardian deities, Liu Ding and Liu Jia.

"Interesting, these things..."

Leng Qing stroked her chin.

"The fact that this place is here suggests that the religion here is probably something like Taoism or Buddhism, but why can't I understand the statues of gods on it?"

Regardless of who the statue above represents, Leng Qing had no idea, and Wu Shanfu, Mu Yuan, Lin Anru, and the other two executives present were all completely bewildered.

Mu Yuan clapped his hands, and a fist-sized ball of light flew out from the center of the square, dispelling all the darkness and making it as bright as day.

Leng Qing and Wu Shanfu also saw it. In the center of the square was a rocky hill, and next to the rocky hill was a stone statue head. The statue head had strong features, a beard that reached past its chest, and wide-open, angry eyes, and looked extremely majestic.

Leng Qing and Wu Shanfu watched from afar.

Mu Yuan adjusted his glasses and looked at it for a while, then pondered.

"That rocky mountain looks like the statue of Wang Lingguan..."

Leng Qing and Wu Shanfu looked at some of the carvings on the rocky mountain that still showed traces of their original forms, and nodded in agreement.

"and many more……"

Wu Shanfu squinted at the shattered statue of Wang Lingguan opposite her.

"The material of this statue of Wang Lingguan seems a bit off."

The broken edges of the statue of Wang Lingguan are bluish-green.

Wu Shanfu then looked at the statues of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Nine Luminaries, and the Six Ding and Six Jia beside her.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan accompanied Wu Shanfu to look at the statue beside them and agreed.

"The level of detail also varies."

The statue of Wang Lingguan has delicate features, a natural expression, and perfect details. However, the other statues of Liu Ding and Liu Jia, Jiu Yao Xing Jun, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations are carved in a much rougher style, and many of them are even without paint.

Anyway, I'll go take a look.

Leng Qing suddenly spoke.

Mu Yuan and Wu Shanfu looked at Leng Qing. All three knew that as the only broken statue present, the Wang Lingguan statue must have a big problem. But under normal circumstances, they would definitely check the surrounding area before seeing what happened to the Wang Lingguan statue.
