The dog stopped immediately upon hearing its owner's command.
Lingfeng wiped his sweat and hurried over to Mei's side.
Mei's brows were already smiling like crescent moons as she stuck out her tongue and asked, "Are you okay?" She then stepped aside to let Lingfeng in.
Lingfeng was fine, but being chased by a dog without being able to fight back felt terrible. He panted, "That dog is too fierce!"
"Dog!" Hearing Lingfeng's words, Mei laughed again and said, "That's not a dog; it's a wolf!"
"Wolf?" Lingfeng was even more surprised, but thinking about its size, it indeed didn't look like a dog.
"My grandfather found it while gathering herbs in the mountains one year and brought it back. Since it's completely snow-white, I named it White Wolf!" Mei explained.
Lingfeng nodded, feeling a bit hungry, he shyly asked, "Mei, do you have anything to eat?"
Mei was taken aback for a moment before quickly turning to the kitchen and bringing out some food. "This is my dinner; I didn't have much appetite, so I haven't eaten yet. Please don't dislike it!"
Lingfeng would never dislike it. After a night of turmoil, he was already starving and picked up his chopsticks to eat ravenously.
"By the way, have you dealt with the matter at the White Jade Escort Agency?" Mei asked.
Lingfeng swallowed a mouthful of food and mumbled, "Yeah, I've handled it. Tomorrow I'll go to the White Jade Escort Agency to rescue your grandfather!"
Mei nodded and then fell silent, quietly watching Lingfeng eat.
After eating for a while, Lingfeng noticed Mei was looking at him, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable. He softly asked, "Mei, why do you keep staring at me?"
Mei smiled lightly, pressed her lips together, but did not respond.
Lingfeng realized that Mei probably had feelings for him. Although he also had feelings for her, he knew when to stop. Moreover, he already had Enchanting in his heart. When he returned to the Demon Suppression Sect, if he was with Mei, he really didn't know how Enchanting would react.
Feeling quite awkward under Mei's gaze, Lingfeng finished all his food, wiped his mouth, and asked, "Do you have a guest room here?"
Mei shrugged her shoulders and said, "There isn't a guest room, but my grandfather is not here. You can stay in my grandfather's room!"
Lingfeng nodded and replied, "Then please take me there!"
In truth, Mei was reluctant to let him go; she wished she could spend more time with Lingfeng. However, knowing that Lingfeng still needed to rescue the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord, she led him to her grandfather's room.
After Mei left, Lingfeng looked around the room.
The entire room was simple and tidy, exuding a faint scent of Chinese herbs.
After some time of tossing and turning, Lingfeng felt a bit exhausted. He glanced around briefly and lay down on the bed fully clothed.
He didn't know how long it had been when a series of clattering noises woke him up. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he realized it was already mid-morning.
Stepping out of the room, he saw Mei's slender figure in front of him. It turned out that Mei was cooking.
"So early!" Lingfeng approached Mei's side and said softly.
Me smiled and casually pointed to the aluminum basin beside her, saying, "Here is clean water. Wash your face first, then eat!"
Lingfeng nodded, washed his face clean, and felt a bit more awake.
Me picked up a handful of herbs, turned around, and placed them into the pot.
Curious, Lingfeng asked, "Why do you put herbs in the dishes?"
"Oh, this is called Sakura Grass. Eating it every morning not only strengthens the body but also helps maintain alertness!" Me replied.
Lingfeng nodded in understanding and soon caught a whiff of a refreshing aroma.
"What are you cooking inside?"
"It's wild chicken; I hunted it this morning!" Me said with a smile.
"Wild chicken!" Lingfeng felt a bit delighted, thinking that such a rustic life in the mountains was much more carefree.
After finishing the meal, Lingfeng didn't want to linger any longer and got up to head towards the White Jade Escort Agency.
At this time, White Phoenix Mountain had clearly not returned. The entire White Jade Escort Agency was silent and lifeless.
"With such a large White Jade Escort Agency, I wonder where Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord is?" Lingfeng thought as he easily entered the White Jade Escort Agency.
However, the White Jade Escort Agency was too vast; finding Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord was not so easy. Just as he was feeling anxious, someone happened to come to the back of the Rockery.
"Truly a help to me!" Lingfeng sneered, then silently approached the person from behind. One hand pressed against the person's waist while the other formed a claw-like grip around their neck.
The person had no idea that White Dove's people had intruded and thought someone was just playing a prank on him. He impatiently said, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm taking a piss?" However, there was no response from behind.
"I..." The person had just pulled up his pants and was about to turn around when Lingfeng applied pressure with both hands, causing him to suddenly lose his voice.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll take your life!" Lingfeng threatened.
The person was taken aback and quietly asked, "Who is the Hero? Why did White Dove's people break into the White Jade Escort Agency?"
Lingfeng sneered, thinking that this person seemed worldly enough to remain calm in such a situation and even engage in conversation. He added more threat to his tone, "Cut the nonsense. Tell me where the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord is being held by White Phoenix Mountain."
The person was immobilized but filled with curiosity about Lingfeng. He tried several times to turn around but couldn't. Hearing Lingfeng mention the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord, he felt confused and said, "Hero, what Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord? We don't have anyone like that here!"
Lingfeng assumed the person was being stubborn and summoned a Plum Blossom Dart, lightly pressing it against the person's neck. "If you keep playing games with me, I'll send your head rolling!"
Now the person was terrified and hurriedly said, "Hero, spare me! The Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord was originally the Hall Master of Herb Hall. A few years ago, he was captured by the Bounty Master but later mysteriously disappeared. We truly don't know where he is now!"
Lingfeng frowned. From the person's tone, it didn't seem like he was lying. But since the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord had been brought here, wasn't it to concoct high-grade poisons for White Phoenix Mountain? Since White Phoenix Mountain could raise Hundred Venom Bees, it clearly indicated that the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord was indeed here. Lingfeng asked indirectly, "Then where does the food for the Hundred Venom Bees come from?"
The person quickly replied, "The medicines consumed by the Hundred Venom Bees are all brought in by the Bounty Master from outside. It's handled by the Bounty Master's trusted subordinates; how would we lowly servants know where they come from?"
"That's strange!" Lingfeng pondered. "Since the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord was captured by White Phoenix Mountain, why not use him to concoct medicines instead of importing them? Is there some hidden truth behind this?"
The person realized that Lingfeng was not someone to be trifled with and seeing Lingfeng's calm demeanor, he pleaded, "Hero, shouldn't you let me go now?"
Lingfeng not only did not relax, but instead increased the strength in his hands. Remembering the place where Bear Brute and the others were imprisoned last time, he asked, "So tell me, where is the jail of the White Jade Escort Agency?"
The man thought for a moment and quickly replied, "It's right under the Rockery in the garden. Hero just needs to move the Rockery a bit to see the entrance to the jail!"
Lingfeng sneered, thinking that it was too easy to find out the location of the jail, so there must be a trick involved. He reached out and struck the man's neck forcefully, causing him to faint.
Lingfeng went to the garden and moved the Rockery with all his might. Sure enough, a hole with a diameter of one meter appeared beneath it.
He walked down through the hole and soon arrived below.
The dungeon was entirely made of stone, with some torches on the walls, preventing it from being too dark. There were also some ventilation pipes, so the oxygen here was quite sufficient.
However, there were no people in the jail, only some rats.
"Hey, why is there no one here?" After looking around, Lingfeng found no one imprisoned and felt puzzled. After wandering for a while, he found it boring; it seemed that the Pharmaceutical King Demon Lord was not here. Just as he was about to leave, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from outside.
Lingfeng cursed inwardly and hurried towards the hole, but it had already closed.
Although he knew how to get in, he had no idea how to get out. In his panic, he searched for a mechanism on the wall, but it was very smooth and there were no hollow sounds.
"Hahaha, kid, you've fallen into my trap! Did you think that the White Jade Escort Agency is a place you can come and go as you please?" A triumphant voice came through the pipe.
Lingfeng remained silent and continued searching for an exit.
"Kid, stop struggling. Once I block off the ventilation pipe, just wait to meet your end!" With that, a dark light flashed across the pipe in the wall, cutting off the airflow.
Actually, how could Lingfeng take such tricks seriously? He gently pressed his ear against the wall and heard the sound of footsteps, knowing that those people had already left.
Lingfeng smiled, gripping the Connecting Rod tightly. He struck the wall with all his might, and the stones shattered, revealing the dirt behind.
"Do they really think this dungeon can hold me?" Lingfeng muttered to himself. He then recited the incantation for the Fire Control Technique, and the torches on the wall flickered before a fire dragon roared out, igniting the dungeon.
The dungeon was mostly made of wood, and after years of wear, it caught fire instantly. In a moment, flames erupted.
Lingfeng did not escape underground immediately; instead, he broke through the stone slab above him and emerged outside. In his view, the people from the White Jade Escort Agency were wicked and leaving them alive would only bring disaster. It was better to eliminate them all.
The sound of the fire roaring echoed from within the dungeon, prompting those inside to rush over. However, they were taken aback to see Lingfeng standing above the dungeon with a fierce expression, leaving them flustered and at a loss.
"I want to see who is going to meet Yama today!" Lingfeng spat out through clenched teeth, raising the Connecting Rod to strike at the crowd.
With a loud bang, a tremendous sound resonated from Lingfeng's Connecting Rod. He immediately felt a tingling in his hands and unsteadiness in his feet, causing him to stagger backward.
Just as he was puzzled by this, a figure stepped out from the crowd.
