Ling Feng really wanted to roll his eyes at Shi Mengran.
This Shi Mengran looked to be in her early twenties, about the same age as Xiuxiu. What were these young girls thinking about all day?
"I just want to know, what is the identity of the person you are talking about!"
Ling Feng calmly stated his condition.
There was indeed no free lunch in the world, and Ling Feng couldn't just hand over this money.
Moreover, it also involved Tan Chun's favor.
Only then did Shi Mengran breathe a sigh of relief, as if she was truly worried that Ling Feng was lusting after her.
"I don't know if the person you're talking about is the same as the person I'm talking about, but I only know that this person's identity is very mysterious, and I don't even know his name. I only recently found out some news about him!"
Shi Mengran's expression became more serious as she sat beside Ling Feng and explained in detail.
"Some people call him Pluto! Some say he is the mastermind behind the Wenxiang Society!"
"Pluto?"
Ling Feng's pupils contracted sharply. According to the information he had previously obtained, this Pluto was indeed the successive leader of the Corpse Robbery Association, and it was rumored that this Pluto possessed extremely strange and powerful abilities.
The most famous was the Eye of Pluto.
It was said to be connected to the realm of death, capable of directly extracting a person's soul. There were rumors that someone had caused trouble at the Corpse Robbery Association before, and Pluto appeared. With just one glance, those people died on the spot!
Such terrifying power was definitely unimaginable for ordinary people.
"You say he is Pluto?"
Ling Feng was full of doubts and said in a deep voice, "Those people all called him Young Master, so he shouldn't be too old. And I've heard his voice; he really isn't very old."
"As far as I know, the mastermind behind this Corpse Robbery Association, Pluto, is rumored to be a very terrifying character. He must have lived for many years, right?"
Now, Ling Feng had a feeling that this matter was mistaken!
The person was mistaken.
Ling Feng's Young Master and Shi Mengran's Pluto were not the same person!
It was even more unknown whether the defectors from the Shi family were following Pluto or the Young Master.
Shi Mengran's beautiful eyes lit up upon hearing this.
She clapped her hands and said, "That's right! This means that the two of us are looking for the same person. The previous Pluto was indeed very old, but this current one is the newly succeeded Pluto. It is precisely because of this matter that some rumors have spread, which is why I learned that the person called Pluto is the sinner who instigated my Shi family!"
The new Pluto!
A cold glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes.
"Very good, what else do you know?"
Ling Feng continued to press.
Shi Mengran shook her head, then seemed to recall something.
"Oh, Pluto's corpse gu technique is also very powerful. I don't know if he stole it from our Shi family, but our Shi family defectors are extremely loyal to him!"
"Moreover, many precious corpses from our Shi family's ancient tombs were stolen by this Pluto. It is said that he also relied on these things to obtain the qualification to succeed as Pluto of the Corpse Robbery Association."
"Hmph, that's why our Shi family has become so fragmented. I must find him and get revenge!"
"And let those rebellious sinners be punished!"
Shi Mengran became more and more indignant as she spoke, gnashing her teeth as if she wanted to eat someone.
Never offend a woman; it can be very crazy.
Yang Fei couldn't help but shake his head upon hearing this and subconsciously said, "Why are you going to get revenge? You can't even beat me."
Upon hearing this, Shi Mengran's pretty face turned red.
"I was just careless before. If it were a direct confrontation, you might not be able to catch me!"
Yang Fei looked at Shi Mengran's stubbornness and sneered, "Heh, your gu worms can't even hurt me. How can you defeat me?"
Seeing Shi Mengran becoming more embarrassed and annoyed, Yang Fei finally suppressed his straightforward nature a little.
"What I mean is, the Shi family is now fragmented, and you are fighting alone?"
Shi Mengran repeatedly shook her head, "Of course not! Our Shi family still has some prestige among the witch doctors. We are uniting some people from the witch sects to crusade against this Pluto!"
"Oh? Your Shi family has such great prestige?"
Yang Fei expressed doubt.
"I'm afraid it's not just the Shi family!"
This time, before Shi Mengran could get embarrassed, Bai Yunyan suddenly said this.
This also drew everyone's attention.
Ling Feng also looked at Bai Yunyan with a questioning gaze.
Then, Bai Yunyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The reason why the Shi family can incite these witch sect members is probably related to the repeated grave robberies of the ancestors of the witch sects over the years!"
"A long time ago, people already associated the looted corpses with this Corpse Robbery Association, so someone had already set their sights on Pluto, the mastermind behind the Corpse Robbery Association!"
Shi Mengran nodded, "Yes, you're right. So, are you also from the witch sect?"
Bai Yunyan did not respond to Shi Mengran's question, but it seemed like a tacit acknowledgment.
Instead, Yang Fei asked doubtfully, "Then why only the witch sect? Why isn't anyone from the gu sect looking for trouble with Pluto? Is Pluto from the gu sect lineage?"
"No!" Bai Yunyan gave a very straightforward negative answer.
Then, Ling Feng said indifferently, "People from the witch sect are skilled in witchcraft, and some do not refine their natal gu. Therefore, their corpses may not be eroded by gu worms after death, and some even have methods to preserve their corpses from decay. Thus, their corpses are more valuable to be looted. The gu sect is the opposite; they don't even have tombs!"
Yang Fei nodded, feeling that his previous question was a bit foolish.
Shi Mengran looked at Ling Feng with some surprise.
"Did you really just come to Nanyun recently? Why do you know so much about the witch doctors of our Nanyun?"
Ling Feng naturally wouldn't explain these things to Shi Mengran; instead, his attention was focused on Bai Yunyan.
"Old Bai, I guess this kind of thing hasn't happened for the first time, right?"
Bai Yunyan's expression suddenly sank, but he still nodded, "That's right! The Corpse Gu families have always had a tradition of looting the graves of the witch sect people, snatching corpses, and raising gu worms!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Mengran quickly waved her hand, "Our Shi family hasn't done such a thing for hundreds of years. Besides, even if we really wanted to use corpses, they were left by our ancestors. Before our ancient tombs were looted, the ancient corpses we had were already enough for us!"
Bai Yunyan's gaze towards Shi Mengran did not soften at all.
He said coldly, "Aren't the preserved ancient corpses also obtained through looting?"
"This..."
Shi Mengran was immediately speechless!
Then Bai Yunyan looked at Ling Feng and continued, "The most rampant looters of ancient corpses were the Zu family, one of the Corpse Gu families! Therefore, the witch sect people united and attacked them, thus exterminating the Zu family lineage!"
