Chapter 52

While Qin Feng wanted to continue watching, the woman's eyes suddenly opened.

In just an instant, Qin Feng's eyes ached.

The eerie scene before him then disappeared.

"What a wicked thing, it's indeed you causing trouble!"

He quickly stuffed the wooden plaque into his storage ring. As the wooden plaque disappeared, the two-headed black python returned to normal.

This board, I'll keep it for further study later; there might be some unexpected discoveries.

The temple's door beam, without the plaque, looked even more desolate.

At the same time, a cold wind blew by, and Qin Feng couldn't help but shiver.

The two people in front had already walked far ahead, and Qin Feng quickly followed them.

Although the Blood Fork Temple was not large, it was still a three-courtyard complex. In the central area, there was a very large building, the Blood Fork Hall.

At the entrance of the Blood Fork Hall, there were several figures, standing or sitting in various postures.

When they saw Zhan Bai and the others arrive, they all looked in their direction.

Qin Feng, being the last, naturally couldn't help but size up the few people.

There were two men and two women present.

"Daoist Zhan, you've arrived too! What a coincidence, we just got here not long ago!"

One of the male cultivators, who was equally refined and elegant, with a small mustache and wearing a yellow robe, greeted Zhan Bai very warmly, appearing quite friendly. However, Qin Feng slightly shook his head; this person's smile was too fake, a typical smiling tiger. Just from the coldness in his eyes, Qin Feng directly categorized him as devious.

Qin Feng slightly sensed this person's cultivation, which should be around the third stage of the Human Gang Realm.

"Daoist Hu arrived early, which is understandable. Earlier, I met Daoist Qin Feng on the road, so I was delayed a bit and arrived late," Zhan Bai said in a very amiable manner, seemingly on good terms with this person.

"Daoist Qin Feng?" The young cultivator immediately scanned Qin Feng with his eyes, making Qin Feng feel very uncomfortable all over, but he still had to maintain some politeness. As for what kind of person the other was, he knew it in his heart.

"I am Qin Feng, a disciple of the Qin family in Luoyang Town!" Qin Feng slightly bowed and said formally.

"Oh?"

After the Hu surname cultivator exclaimed in surprise, he suddenly turned his head and said to another tall male cultivator, "Qin Hu, another disciple from your Qin family has come. Do you recognize him?"

Upon these words, everyone looked at the cultivator called Qin Hu.

Although Qin Feng's face remained calm, his heart was greatly shaken!

Because Qin Feng knew that the real Qin family disciple had already died. He hadn't thought that the other would infiltrate this team, but to do so with his original identity was a bit too frivolous.

The person in front of him was a tall and fierce man. Just from his physique, he was even more robust than Qin Feng, with a powerful build full of explosive strength. He had a round face, thick sideburns, and a steel-like beard. His eyes were sharp, and when he opened and closed them, they emitted a piercing light.

His cultivation was at the fourth stage of the Human Gang Realm!

This was definitely a person who appeared rough but was actually very meticulous!

This was Qin Feng's first impression of Qin Hu, but Qin Feng knew that this person was not what he seemed and was definitely the one who killed the real Qin Hu.

"But..."

Qin Feng turned his gaze to Zhan Bai, but he saw no hint of suspicion in Zhan Bai's eyes.

This made Qin Feng somewhat surprised!

It was easy for simple disguise techniques to be seen through, but why did no one in the room notice any flaws, even though Qin Feng knew this person was fake?

Thinking of the two corpses whose skin had been peeled off and considering a possibility, a terrifying guess formed in Qin Feng's mind, one he himself hardly dared to believe.

Could it be a skin-changing demon?

"What a high-level technique!"

A chill flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, but he remained calm, only sneering inwardly, watching how this impostor would act.

Sure enough, a hint of panic flashed in Qin Hu's eyes, clearly not expecting Qin Feng's sudden appearance. But he quickly regained his composure. After sizing up Qin Feng, he stepped forward and warmly patted Qin Feng's shoulder, saying, "Isn't this my cousin? Why did you come too?"

"You... know me?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

Qin Hu laughed heartily and punched Qin Feng's chest, complaining, "You little brat, we met in Tianfeng City, but there were too many people then. Cousin remembered you, but you didn't remember Cousin."

After a few words, Qin Feng couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

This guy really spoke without leaving any room for error.

Qin Hu was older, so he should call Qin Feng his cousin. A Qin family disciple at the Human Gang Realm level would have a very small chance of not having been to Tianfeng City; saying he had met him, Tianfeng City was so large that not recognizing someone after meeting them was very normal.

Qin Hu's quick and excellent response in such a short time would have fooled Qin Feng if he wasn't 100% sure this person was an impostor.

This impostor was probably betting that Qin Feng didn't actually know Qin Hu.

Qin Feng didn't immediately answer Qin Hu but turned his gaze to the other two women. One was dressed as a Daoist nun, solemn and taciturn, with a decent appearance but losing some points due to the Daoist robe. However, this fit her identity as a Daoist nun. The other was flamboyantly dressed, with exposed clothing, a prominent chest, and long white legs, winking at Qin Feng. Her appearance was only average, but she was extremely flirtatious.

There were two corpses in the forest, and Qin Hu was fake. Which one of the women could be the other?

The corpses had already been burned by him, and even if they hadn't been, what could a skinless corpse prove? Only he knew one of them was a Qin family disciple, but his blood soul couldn't be revealed.

Without evidence, who would believe him? There might be another hidden enemy...

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's lips curled, and he stepped forward to give Qin Hu a bear hug.

"Ha ha, Cousin!"

"Cousin!"

Both were acting, but it was incredibly realistic.

Qin Feng chose to be patient because he knew the other party would eventually slip up. When that happened, he would point it out, which would be much more effective than doing so now.

The most critical point was that the other party didn't know he had already identified their scheme. He could hide in the shadows and observe, trying to find the other hidden woman.

After the introductions, it was known that the man in yellow was Hu Tianming, a senior member of the Starfire Sect, the oldest among them.

The Daoist nun was surnamed Sun, a descendant of the Ethereal View, at the third stage of the Human Gang Realm, around thirty years old, and had a cold and aloof demeanor that was hard to bear.

The extremely flirtatious woman with a large chest and round buttocks was a descendant of the Hundred Flowers Valley, named Huayu Yan. The Hundred Flowers Valley was both righteous and evil, with a poor reputation, but was still勉强 recognized by the righteous path. This woman's cultivation was also not simple, reaching the second stage of the Human Gang Realm, so she could be part of the team.

Qin Feng's strength was the weakest in the team, on par with Fang Xinyi, at the first stage of the Human Gang Realm. But the others had been at this stage for a long time, while he had just advanced last night...

So, except for Zhan Bai, Qin Feng was just a dispensable figure in everyone's eyes.

This was evident from everyone's expressions.

Qin Feng inwardly smiled, thinking this was actually better, as it allowed him to observe more easily.

He thought there were only these few people, but Zhan Bai's next words completely surprised him.

"Where are Daoist Tu and Daoist Shi?"

"Are you serious? There are two more people?"

Qin Feng sighed inwardly. If two more women joined, it would greatly increase the difficulty of identification.

"Tu Zheng? He's elusive, and might appear from under your feet at any time. Hey, speaking of him, he's here!"

Hu Tianming first teased a bit, then suddenly changed his tone, pointing to an empty spot in front of them.

Everyone's gaze followed.

On the empty ground, the soil suddenly liquefied, gradually forming a whirlpool of mud. Finally, a person slowly emerged from the center of the mud...
