Chapter 764: Chapter 752: The Disappearance Seven Years Ago

Li Xing, under unknown fear and with a look of horror on his face, floated towards the night sky, completely out of control of his body.

Li Xing wanted to scream, wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

In Guangsheng City, there were civilians and patrolling guards who saw someone daring to break space and fly over the city. However, when they recognized the person’s face, they immediately covered their mouths!

This person was the Guangsheng City Commander, Li Xing! How could a mere guard dare to challenge him! Besides, seeing the panic in the Great Commander’s demeanor and his rushed space-breaking, it was clear he had urgent matters to attend to.

Yes! The things such a great figure like the Commander did, were undoubtedly critical!

..

Shi Feng, in a tavern guest room, ordered a pot of fine wine. Holding a wine cup, he sipped his drink while quietly waiting.

Soon, a figure of a middle-aged man, ghost-like in appearance, emerged through the window before floating into the room.

"Finally, you’ve arrived!" Shi Feng muttered softly upon seeing the man he had met earlier in the day. He placed his wine cup on the table, with a thought crossing his mind.

Li Xing, who had just landed in the room, suddenly found his uncontrollable body regaining freedom!

Immediately after, Li Xing saw in the room, sitting by a redwood table, a young man in a white robe, looking at him with a calm expression.

"Is... is it you... Sir, who brought me here?" Upon seeing the young man, Li Xing immediately lowered his posture. Initially wanting to say "you", he promptly switched to a more respectful "Sir"!

His body regained freedom as soon as he arrived here; Li Xing knew without a doubt, it was this man’s doing.

Although Li Xing knew it was him, where would he dare to express anger? This person was sitting here, controlling his arrival with his body. If he wanted to kill Li Xing, all it would take was a mere thought!

After experiencing that bizarre incident, Li Xing wouldn’t doubt that if this man wanted him to commit suicide by controlling his body, he would surely comply!

How mysterious is this secret technique, capable of controlling my body from thousands of meters away!

Seeing that the man was silent for a moment, Li Xing felt nervousness mounting. This person had him come here... but for what reason?

Then, Li Xing speculated in his mind, could it possibly be that those useless ones in his family, blinded by their arrogance and his power, had offended this man?

As the Commander of Guangsheng City, the people of Li Family roamed the city with impunity!

Bullying, kidnapping women, murder, arson, those covert dealings—all were often committed under the cover of Li Xing’s identity.

Just as Li Xing’s unease grew, Shi Feng spoke calmly, "Actually, I brought you here to inquire about a few matters!"

"Just to inquire about a few matters!" Hearing these words, Li Xing’s fearful and tense heart immediately relaxed.

So, it was just to inquire about matters! It wasn’t those eyesores who had offended him! Thank goodness!

Li Xing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then his face took on a resolute expression as he said to Shi Feng, "Sir, don’t just say it’s only a few matters; even if there are dozens or hundreds, I know no limit to what I can speak, nor do I refrain from speaking all I know. Please, Sir, feel free to ask."

"Um!" Shi Feng nodded and said, "What I want to ask you about are the disappearances of the Guangsheng City Commanders seven years ago and in the past few years. What exactly happened to them?"

"Ah!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Li Xing’s mouth fell open as he exclaimed, his calm demeanor quickly shifting to one of panic.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Feng could tell that Li Xing definitely knew something. Otherwise, he would have said directly, "He doesn’t know!"

Then, glancing at Shi Feng nervously, Li Xing said, "Sir, could it be... Are you sent by the dynasty?"

This bustling Guangsheng City was actually similar to the Moon City where Shi Feng had been before, both under the rule of a dynasty!

However, unlike the Eastern Domain where Shi Feng once was, with its parallel states, the Northern Border had produced an Emperor Northern Border 30,000 years ago who had unified the region and established the mighty Northern Border Dynasty!

Although the dynasty had declined over the years, it was still nominally the overlord of the Northern Border!

Powerful lords, powerful forces, powerful sects—in today’s Northern Border, one might act as if the Northern Border Dynasty didn’t exist. However, Guangsheng City would never dare defy them!

After all, even a weakened camel is larger than a horse, and the Northern Border Dynasty could easily dispatch a Martial Emperor to look down upon the entire Guangsheng City.

Guangsheng City was still firmly in the hands of the dynasty. The new city commander was appointed by the dynasty!

Shi Feng looked at Li Xing coldly and said, "Don’t ask where I am from. If you want to live, just answer whatever I ask you!

You have already experienced my power earlier. As a smart man, you should know the consequences of lying to me!"

In reality, Shi Feng wasn’t worried about him lying. During the day, he had implanted a Secret Seal into his body, so he could sense any lie from the fluctuations of his heartbeat.

Nevertheless, Shi Feng thought it wise to let him taste suffering to ensure he spoke the truth and save time.

In an instant, Li Xing felt as if thousands of sharp knives were simultaneously stabbing into his body.

"Ah! Ahhh!" Suddenly, Li Xing thrashed his arms and legs, letting out cries like a pig being slaughtered, feeling as though his body was being stabbed into pieces.

Were it not for the Prohibition Shi Feng had set up in the room, Li Xing’s terrifying screams might have echoed through the area!

"Ah! Sir! Sir! I confess! I confess!" Amidst extreme agony, Li Xing wailed, "Besides the incident seven years ago, the two subsequent city commanders were indeed murdered by hitmen I hired because they offended me! Ahh! Sir! Sir! Please stop!"

"Um?" Hearing Li Xing’s words, Shi Feng frowned, surprised to learn that the city commanders had been assassinated by him.

But he also mentioned the incident from seven years ago!

Seven years ago, that was also when Leng Aoyue disappeared!

Then, with another thought from Shi Feng, Li Xing’s screams gradually ceased, leaving him extremely pale.

Feeling the extreme pain suddenly fade, Li Xing slowly relaxed his body and mind.

But recalling the torment worse than death, Li Xing didn’t want to endure it again and quickly pleaded with Shi Feng, "Sir, please don’t torment me like this anymore! Just ask what you want to know! I will definitely confess everything, I swear!"

As he spoke, the usually high and mighty Guangsheng City Commander Li Xing showed a pitiful, miserable, wretched appearance.
