Chapter 2526: Infiltration, Human Stick!

"Brother Lin, you have to think of something quickly, you must stop this madman and save everyone inside Zicheng!"

Tao Tao looked at Lin Feng, speaking urgently. There were only ten days left before the madman would execute his plan. If not stopped, the entire city of Zicheng would perish. Just thinking about that result made her shiver all over!

"Yes, Boss, such a person must die, at any time, no matter what!" Tangyuan also said hurriedly from the side. It dared not imagine what would become of Zicheng if all that really happened.

"Don’t panic, stay calm, let me think of a plan." Lin Feng frowned slightly at this moment, closed his eyes, and began to think.

Sect?

The first thought Lin Feng had was to let the sect handle this matter. Given the power of Ziyun Sect, they should be able to deal with this madman. However, Lin Feng also anticipated a problem: if the sect sent people, the fake City Lord would definitely flee. That much was indisputable. If the fake City Lord got wind of it, triggered the formation in advance, and slaughtered the entire city, what then?

So he quickly dismissed this idea because it was truly immature. He redirected his attention to other possibilities.

Break the formation?

Lin Feng repeatedly mulled over this but felt it was unrealistic. Zicheng was simply too large, and dismantling such a super formation, even if he were to act, was unrealistic. Moreover, he had no knowledge of the formation, which made it even more difficult!

So how exactly could this be resolved?

Lin Feng started pondering various solutions in his mind but simultaneously dismissed one after another. With the population of Zicheng being so vast, he had to think thoroughly before taking action. It had to be said, the ten-year facade created by the fake City Lord made the people of the city trust him deeply; otherwise, he could have come up with many ways to deal with this issue...

Seeing Lin Feng seriously considering countermeasures, everyone in the room also fell silent at this moment, helping Lin Feng think of solutions together. This matter was indeed too significant, concerning tens of millions of people, and the invisible pressure was almost suffocating.

Given these circumstances, time was incredibly hard to bear; everyone was racking their brains but couldn’t come up with any substantial plans. They couldn’t even resolve their own issues; speaking out seemed pointless.

In an instant, roughly six hours passed before Lin Feng’s eyes lit up; he finally came up with a general idea.

"Listen up, everyone. To tackle this fake City Lord, we must find a way to expose everything about him. In this respect, relying solely on Tangyuan isn’t enough. We need to obtain evidence of the fake City Lord, but this will be difficult. Tangyuan and I will take care of this."

Lin Feng began by saying, looking at everyone, he continued: "But in the meantime, you can’t stay idle. I need you to find out where the fake City Lord has lingered in the city. If my guess is correct, he must have stayed over a month at one place to set up a large city’s super formation; otherwise, the formation’s power couldn’t possibly threaten the entire city’s population with death!"

Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu nodded immediately upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. However, at this moment, Lingling grew anxious and said to Lin Feng, "They can go out and investigate, but what about me? I can’t reveal myself in front of ordinary people!"

"In your current condition, you can only hide within my sword for now. But if Tangyuan and I need support, you could appear as a surprise element. The fake City Lord isn’t an ordinary person; having subdued other families in the city, his power is undoubtedly beyond imagination. I reckon he could easily slay an average Divine Venerable; otherwise, this fake City Lord wouldn’t be so domineering."

Upon hearing Lingling’s words, Lin Feng hesitated slightly, expressing his concerns. It wasn’t that he was unwilling to let Lingling help, but Lingling really wasn’t suited for this situation, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Lingling knew Lin Feng was speaking the truth. She pouted and, under the present circumstances, could only follow Lin Feng’s instructions. There was no other way. Shaking her head, her body transformed into a white light and slipped into Lin Feng’s longsword.

After strategizing, Lin Feng and Tangyuan parted ways with Tao Tao and the others. What he and Tangyuan aimed to do this time was dangerous; they planned to quietly infiltrate the City Lord Mansion. Despite Tangyuan’s excellent concealment ability, its strength was lacking. Faced with the fake City Lord, Tangyuan might get exposed. Therefore, this task required Lin Feng’s formation and Tangyuan’s cooperation to possibly find evidence against the fake City Lord.

They smoothly entered the City Lord Mansion. However, after entering, when Lin Feng and Tangyuan prepared to meet the real City Lord, they encountered a problem. The house where the real City Lord was held had been set up with an exceptionally special formation by the fake City Lord, the likes of which Lin Feng had never seen before.

Under such circumstances, Lin Feng dared not act rashly. If he attempted to break the formation and the fake City Lord emerged, everything would go wrong. Premature exposure would most likely spell the city’s ruin, so he dared not act recklessly.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Tangyuan, recognizing the awkward situation, asked Lin Feng, unsure of the next steps.

"Let’s wait for now." At this moment, Lin Feng had no better idea. Previously, his Divine Sense hadn’t detected the formation. Its sudden appearance was clearly set up by the fake City Lord to prevent his identity from being exposed. Lin Feng hadn’t expected the fake City Lord to create such a formation. It went beyond his expectations.

Hearing this, Tangyuan could only remain still, lying quietly beside Lin Feng. Meanwhile, Lin Feng, while in the previously set up concealment formation, used this time to carefully analyze the special formation surrounding the house with his Divine Sense. However, this was merely initial analysis; he could only dismantle it when the right moment presented itself, to lay bare the truth.

Compared to Lin Feng’s lack of progress, on another front, Tao Tao and the others had made excellent headway. The City Lord was truly beloved here, so finding out where he’d lingered over the years was easy for them. They even created a map of Zicheng, marking places where the City Lord stayed for over a month so Lin Feng could directly understand the locations.

But Zicheng was vast, and Tao Tao and the others spent three entire days investigating all possible places, marking every location on the map. Although the three days exhausted their legs, thinking of Zicheng’s tens of millions of residents, they felt all efforts were worthwhile.

After gathering these positions, they returned to the previous inn room, where Tangyuan and Ma Biaohu awaited Lin Feng and Tao Tao’s return.

In the small courtyard of the City Lord Mansion, Lin Feng saw the fake City Lord up close for the first time. The fake City Lord appeared to be in a rush, coming hurriedly to check the formation in the backyard to ensure nothing was amiss before quickly heading away again.

Realizing the fake City Lord would unlikely return soon, Lin Feng started dismantling the special formation outside the house. It took him several hours, but he finally broke the formation. This formation differed from any Lin Feng had ever encountered, reaching an astonishing level of intricacy!

It couldn’t possibly be the fake City Lord who set this up!

Lin Feng’s expression turned extremely grim, intuitively sensing that the person who set up this special formation couldn’t be the fake City Lord. With the fake City Lord spending ten years keeping busy with various tasks, there was no way he could complete such a sophisticated formation. There had to be someone else, with formidable skills in formations, likely surpassing Lin Feng’s own!

Thinking this, Lin Feng’s heart tightened, feeling an ominous premonition that behind the fake City Lord lay an even more terrifying presence. If that were true, the mission to kill the fake City Lord and protect Zicheng could face unexpected complications!

Carefully probing the surroundings with his Divine Sense, he breathed a minor sigh of relief upon finding no terrifying powerful beings around, with no immediate danger of exposure. With a swift move, Lin Feng, with Tangyuan in tow, charged into the room.

Entering the room, Lin Feng and Tangyuan were stunned by the scene before them because the room was empty, save for one person. To be more precise, there was a person whose limbs had been severed, leaving only a torso and head, suspended mid-air by special tools. A strange plant penetrated his body, inflicting unspeakable agony, yet he remained alive!

Tangyuan didn’t hesitate, immediately activating the Shadow Stone to capture everything there. Even a demon beast like it found it hard to witness this; the person was truly tragic...

Human Stick!

Lin Feng’s expression changed as well. This brutal method, he had never seen before. Tangyuan had told him earlier that the person shut here should be the real City Lord, perhaps even the fake City Lord’s brother. What kind of world allows a younger brother to treat his elder sibling this barbarically? Thinking of this, his heart pounded violently. He realized that if the fake City Lord could treat his brother this way, there’d be no limit to what he might do!
