He then ordered that all those in the know be silenced and issued invitations to warlords from various regions to come and "appraise the treasure."
His true purpose was to take this opportunity to complete his long-held grand plan...
And everything is progressing steadily.
But at this critical juncture, this mess has arisen because of Wang Sanyang's matter.
If not handled properly, all his hard work and dedication will be in vain.
Therefore, he is willing to sacrifice anyone to achieve his goal!
……
Inside the tavern in Deer Flower Town.
Qinghai is working hard and devouring food like wolves.
You can stuff a chicken leg into your mouth and spit out the whole bone in just half a second.
Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be enjoying himself at all; it was more like he was waging a difficult battle.
"Eat slowly, there's more."
Su Feng leaned back and chuckled softly.
After informing the soldiers to cremate the two corpses at the town entrance, he invited Qinghai to dine at the restaurant, and of course, Jiang Dalong came along as well.
Unexpectedly, this guy was like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Mmm!" Qinghai said while chewing on a chicken leg and drinking wine, "These days, there aren't many people as warm-hearted as Fellow Daoist Su."
As he spoke, he grabbed another leg of lamb and stuffed it into his mouth...
Su Feng was worried that his mouth might crack from the strain.
“Young Master Su…” Jiang Dalong, who had been preoccupied with his own thoughts, finally couldn’t sit still any longer. He leaned close to Su Feng’s ear and whispered, “You just said there are zombies in the town, is that true?”
"Do you think I'm lying?" Su Feng raised an eyebrow and said softly.
"Well... how should I put it? This isn't my jurisdiction after all. Shouldn't we refrain from meddling? Wouldn't it be better to leave it to Commander Xu to handle?"
Su Feng had long seen through Jiang Dalong's thoughts.
It's simply because he's afraid of getting burned and affecting his position.
To be honest, Su Feng wasn't interested in their open and covert struggles...
Since he had promised to find out the truth for Annie and give her justice, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
The zombie attack that occurred today is clearly a major clue, and we will not let it go easily.
“If the commander is afraid, he may return first. There is no need to force him to stay,” Su Feng said with a calm smile, his expression unchanged.
Jiang Dalong hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I, how could I be afraid! It's just a mere zombie!"
Indeed, they're just zombies...
He had experienced even more terrifying things before!
"Heh—that's no ordinary zombie." Qinghai suddenly stopped eating and said.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Qinghai thinks the same way I do."
Su Feng crossed his arms and cast a meaningful glance, "Judging from the fact that those two corpses showed no signs of struggle or resistance, the zombies that attacked them were agile and nimble, and their attack methods were quite unique..."
This was not Su Feng's guess; on the contrary, he was quite certain of it.
Under normal circumstances, when attacked by zombies, a normal person will resist, or even struggle, and therefore will inevitably have other wounds on their body.
But the two corpses that appeared at the entrance of the town had no wounds other than bite marks on their necks!
This speaks volumes...
The zombies that attacked them may have been subdued in some way, and then easily drained their blood.
Upon hearing Su Feng's words, Qinghai put down his wine glass, casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, revealed a curious smile, and spoke up.
"Just now, Fellow Daoist Su said that he only studied Daoist techniques under the guidance of seniors from Maoshan and did not join Maoshan... But Fellow Daoist Su is quite knowledgeable in this regard."
His sharp gaze remained fixed on Su Feng, as if he were waiting for an answer.
Having traveled all over the country for so many years, this was the first time he had ever seen someone like Su Feng, who at such a young age possessed such a calm personality and solid skills.
Every gesture he makes exudes an aura that transcends ordinary people.
To have undergone such a transformation after only a few years of learning the craft, he couldn't think of a word other than genius to describe it.
"I'm just slightly interested in these kinds of demons and monsters..." Su Feng replied softly.
He wasn't lying, but the truth was "slightly" different.
Qinghai laughed it off and continued to eat heartily.
Only after all the food on the table was gone did he pat his belly contentedly, chew on a toothpick, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoist Qinghai, are you satisfied?" Su Feng asked, then lowered his voice to a volume only they could hear, "Then could you tell me, what is the purpose of your visit to Deer Flower Town?"
"What does Fellow Daoist Su mean by this?" Qinghai narrowed his eyes, becoming wary.
Su Feng did not answer, but instead gave a meaningful smile and looked at him with eyes that seemed to see through everything.
The treasure that Commander Xu obtained...
The missing Wang Sanyang...
Zombies suddenly appeared...
Then, by chance, an exorcist named Qinghai arrived.
These events are connected, and it is by no means a coincidence.
This is why Su Feng invited Qinghai to dine with him.
Gradually lower the other party's guard, and then dig out the truth from within.
Even if Qinghai is not the culprit behind these events, it still hides many secrets.
Perhaps it's related to the treasure that Commander Xu obtained...
Faced with Su Feng's commanding presence, seemingly able to see through everything, Qinghai's expression gradually became serious.
Ultimately, they lost because of their lack of momentum.
“I’m defeated by you,” Qinghai scratched his messy hair. “Fellow Daoist Su, you are really amazing… That’s right, I did come to Deer Flower Town for other reasons.”

Chapter 177 Meeting the Exorcist Master Qinghai! Pursuing the White Lotus Cult!
"Does Fellow Daoist Su know anything about the White Lotus Sect?"
Qinghai put away his nonchalant expression and said seriously.
"The White Lotus Sect..."
Su Feng rubbed his chin and murmured something to himself.
He only knew a little about this sect from movies...
But in reality, apart from knowing that the White Lotus Sect was an evil sect, they knew nothing else.
"The White Lotus Sect has existed for hundreds of years and is a notorious evil sect," Qinghai lowered his voice, but his expression was somewhat complicated. "A hundred years ago, they planned to refine a kind of demonic creature called the Five Demon Gu, which would feed on human essence and brains to grow stronger. Once the accumulated evil energy reached a certain level, it could be born with the help of a mother body..."
These words sounded somewhat familiar to Su Feng.
Wasn't the nine-life evil infant I encountered in Shuilian Town just like this?
Once it is born, it will be a true demon!
It is an existence capable of destroying all living beings!
"The White Lotus Sect's terrifying plans attracted the attention of other sects at the time..."
"Since then, both Buddhism and Taoism have tried every means to stop it, but the White Lotus Sect's whereabouts are unpredictable and its members are numerous, making it impossible to eradicate..."
"It wasn't until the government intervened and a group of forces surrounded them that they finally breathed their last... Afterwards, the government invited a high-ranking monk to perform a ritual to seal the Five Demon Gu, and used a golden Buddha statue to suppress it, burying it in the ground along with the gold and silver treasures looted by the White Lotus Sect..."
"But the matter is not over."
At this point, Qinghai sighed, his face turning even more ashen. "For the past hundred years, both Buddhism and Taoism have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, determined to eradicate them completely... but they are like cockroaches that can't be killed, they just can't be eliminated."
"Six months ago, I accidentally learned the whereabouts of the remnants of the White Lotus Cult. They seemed to be plotting to find the Five Demon Gu, so I have been tracking them down to find out their plans..."
"After many twists and turns, we have finally arrived here."
The conversation seemed to have ended there. Qinghai poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.
Throughout the entire process, Su Feng did not interrupt, but listened quietly in silence.
On the contrary, Jiang Dalong, who was treated as an outsider, was dumbfounded after hearing the whole story. His mouth was half open, and it took him a long time to react.
"You, you mean... the White Lotus Sect is in Deer Flower Town right now?" Jiang Dalong exclaimed, then quickly lowered his voice, perhaps realizing he had spoken a little too loudly.
Qinghai glanced warily at Jiang Dalong, then looked at Su Feng.
His expression seems to be saying, "Can 06 be trusted?"
"Fellow Daoist Qinghai, there's no need to worry. Commander Jiang is one of our people, and he might be able to help in this matter."
Su Feng smiled faintly.
No matter what, Jiang Dalong was a warlord who held military power and had close ties with various forces.
They can barely be considered "tools" that can play a role.
Upon hearing the answer, Qinghai nodded with some skepticism. "That's right. The remnants of the White Lotus Sect should be hiding in Deer Flower Town right now, and they haven't made a move for several days. So I have reason to believe that the Five Demon Gu is here!"
Everything was pretty much as Su Feng had imagined.
To put it bluntly, the treasure that Commander Xu obtained was the Five Demon Gu, which was refined by the White Lotus Sect back then and contained unfathomable and terrifying power!
Since it was unearthed, the barrier and seal erected by the Buddhist sect in those days have been broken.
As a result, the demonic energy leaked out, and because of Commander Xu's flamboyant personality, the news naturally attracted the attention of the remnants of the White Lotus Cult who were lurking in all directions.
