Chapter 38: Xi Pengqing's Death

After the sound, the forest seemed quieter than before. I don't know what happened, Yu Feng immediately put away the philosopher's stone tightly and headed north.

Walking out of the desolate path, Yu Feng found that many people were walking towards the place where the loud noise had just been made, as if they wanted to see what was going on. Yu Feng followed the crowd and walked north together.

After walking for a while, he felt that the hot environment around him was gradually becoming cooler, but for some reason. After walking further and approaching the place of the incident, I understood. The ground here has been frozen into ice for some reason, and the surrounding grass and trees have also been frozen. The ice was so large that it took about a mile forward from here to return to normal. At this time, there were also many people gathered around the ice, as if they felt the cold, and everyone stopped moving forward at the edge of the ice.

Before Yu Feng could see anything in this icy field, he heard the people in front of him talking, and some people even let out exclamations.

Yu Feng squeezed forward again, looked at the situation inside, and couldn't help but be surprised. In the middle of this frozen land, there is a man lying on the ground, his body has become one with the ice, and from a distance, it looks like an ice sculpture, in the middle of the ice.

This person Yu Feng happened to know, it was the same person that Ge Yin introduced to everyone a few days ago, from the Dongling Yueping area, and followed Xi Pengqing around Bokai.

Everyone around was talking, I don't know what happened here just now, but people can feel that this Xi Pengqing is afraid that he has frozen to death here.

It didn't take long for Du Yuesong to arrive here with people. After all, this movement is so big, although Du Yuesong is far away, he can definitely hear it.

Du Yuesong walked to the center of the ice, squatted down to check Xi Pengqing who was lying here, and after a while, he stood up and shook his head at the two people he brought behind him.

When the people around saw this, there was a burst of discussion again. Du Yuesong immediately evacuated everyone and ordered his subordinates to call some more people over. After Du Yuesong gave an order, everyone dispersed like a tide, and they did not continue to stay on the mountain, but went down the mountain one after another. Yu Feng also followed the crowd and went down the mountain to his room.

After everyone left, Du Yuesong squatted down again, stretched out his right hand and placed it next to Xi Pengqing's corpse, using the mana in his body. Suddenly, the earth was merged into a warm current, and Xi Pengqing's corpse and the surrounding ice were immediately lifted.

"The power of this 'ice domain' is not very large, it obviously comes from the Philosopher's Stone, not by the people themselves. It's a pity that this Pengqing, who is young and has a bright future, can't withstand this 'ice domain' and dies under this ice. Du Yuesong sighed, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at Xi Pengqing's somewhat frightened expression, and said to his subordinates, "Take him back to the base medical hall for the time being, and then send someone to Yue Ping to inform General Geng Lin." As he spoke, he stood up and stopped looking at Xi Pengqing.

After a while, some more people rushed here, and according to Du Yuesong's instructions, four people were sent to send Xi Pengqing's body down the mountain, and went to Yueping to inform his family. The rest of the people stayed here and looked around to see if they could find some relevant clues.

Yu Feng returned to his residence, put away the magic stone he had picked up, and recalled the frozen scene on the mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. It was late afternoon, and he himself was in no mood to read anymore. So he simply came to the platform outside the house and waited for Xing Xuan or Yin Xin to come back.

On the square, four people escorted Xi Pengqing's body to the medical hall, and seeing this, Yu Feng couldn't help but think about it again.

It was getting dark, and Xing Xuan returned to his residence. When Yu Feng saw him, he immediately stopped him and took him to his house. Xing Xuan didn't go to the mountain today, but watched the fight with others in a fighting arena in Colin Town, so he didn't know what happened here today.

Yu Feng told Xing Xuan what he had encountered today, as well as the fact that he saw Xi Pengqing's frozen death on the mountain. Xing Xuan was very surprised when he heard this, feeling as if he had missed something big.

Yu Feng took out the magic stone he picked up today and let Xing Xuan take a look, but he didn't expect Xing Xuan to be shocked again. He looked at the magic stone for a long time, and then told Yu Feng that the last time Aishin bought the Philosopher's Stone in Colin, there was a piece that was very similar to this one, and it gave people the same feeling. His piece was bought for three thousand five hundred rubes, and it seemed to be a very powerful spell, as if it was called "Ice Domain". It seems that Yu Feng has picked up the treasure, and I don't know how powerful this spell is.

Xing Xuan proposed to keep it, and in case something happened in the future, he could also defend himself in an emergency. Yu Feng had the intention of staying privately, so he agreed.

This matter is decided, and he talks about Xi Pengqing. The two of them don't know what the cause or effect of this happened, but according to convention, this matter will be announced to everyone.

Yin Xin seemed to have a lot of fun today and didn't come back until late. Yu Feng told Xing Xuan the matter again. When Yin Xin saw the Philosopher's Stone that he had retrieved, he didn't seem to be happy at all, but instead looked a little worried.

He advised Yu Feng not to leave the stone, and he couldn't say any reason, but he just felt that it was inappropriate. And hearing Xi Pengqing's matter, Yin Xin was extremely happy. He couldn't get used to Bokai's group, and this Xi Pengqing was one of them. Now that something has happened, it is good to kill Bokai's sharpness, which is what he can't ask for.

Since it was getting late, Yin Xin didn't stay too long in Yu Feng and went back to the room to rest. After discussing with the two, Yu Feng still had no results, so he put down the matter of the Philosopher's Stone first.

As expected, at noon the next day, there was a situation about the Xi Pengqing incident on the bulletin board. According to the investigation, someone cast the "Ice Domain" spell at the scene yesterday. This is an upper-middle level spell, although Xi Pengqing has some skills, but after all, he can't compete with this level of spell.

It seems that this spell casting incident was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose. Du Yuesong arranged to conduct an investigation of all personnel and houses today, and hoped that everyone would cooperate and help.

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately aroused everyone's discussion, and this incident seemed to be premeditated and arranged, deliberately targeting Xi Pengqing, which made everyone feel a little uneasy. Maybe one day, this kind of thing will happen to you. After the news spread, it caused a certain commotion among the people. Obviously, if things are not clarified, people will start to be afraid.

After lunch, Yu Feng and Yin Xin went back to the room together. Along the way, chatting was naturally the hottest topic of the two days.

"By the way, have you dealt with the Philosopher's Stone you picked up, don't keep it, I always think it's not a good thing. Yin Xin reminded Yu Feng again.

When he saw the name "Ice Domain" from the bulletin board, Yu Feng was shocked. Listening to Xing Xuan, the magic stone he picked up seemed to be also an "ice domain" spell, which was not a good thing. However, then he thought that he was picking up the magic stone first, and the Xi Pengqing incident was behind, and the piece in his hand seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.

However, hearing Du Yuesong say that he would start investigating the matter today, Yu Feng thought about it carefully, and it was better to be honest and frank. "I'm going to hand over the magic stone and explain the situation. However, I explained in advance that I picked it up first, and Xi Pengqing's accident came later, so I don't think there is any connection between them. Yu Feng replied to Yin Xin.

Yin Xin originally wanted Yu Feng to throw things away, but since he decided to hand it in, there should be nothing to do, so he didn't say anything more.

Still with nothing to do in the afternoon, they went back to their rooms. But it wasn't long before I heard movement outside. Yu Feng looked out of the window, and it seemed that someone sent by Du Yuesong was checking them one by one.

Yu Feng took out the magic stone he had picked up and waited in the house like this. Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to come to his room. There were two people who came to check, and they directly and clearly explained their intentions, and Yu Feng, who had already planned for a long time, was also honest with the two, telling all his experiences, and at the same time handing over the chilling magic stone to the two.

The two of them seemed to attach great importance to this, made detailed records, and then took a general look in the room, and asked Yu Feng not to go out, waiting for news here, no matter what happened within two days, someone would notify him.

After the inspectors left, Yu Feng began to worry a little that the magic stone he picked up by chance would cause him some trouble. He asks Yin Xin for his opinion, and Yin Xin agrees, which is one of the reasons why he wanted Yu Feng to throw it away in the first place. However, if you are accidentally discovered, it is more likely to arouse the suspicion of others. In the end, Yu Feng still encountered something that should not have been encountered at the wrong time.

After a long day of investigation, early the next morning, Du Yuesong got a preliminary report. In the entire training base, including all the personnel working here, there are less than 3,000 people in total. The "Ice Domain" is a kind of magic stone that belongs to the middle and upper levels, and in this place where newcomers gather, there are not many people who have it, there are a total of nineteen people, all of whom are cultivators. Among them, there are nine people whose magic stone seals have not been changed, which means that they have not been used, and the rest also include one person who claims to have just picked it up on the mountain on the day of the incident, and that is Yu Feng. In addition, a total of 13 people had gone out continuously before the incident and had not returned, and three people had gone out after the incident and have not returned since.

Hearing this report, Du Yuesong sighed with emotion. I really don't know if I don't check, but after a check, I found that there are people who go out without permission and don't return for a long time, and for these beginners, there are so many people who carry with them the middle and upper level magic stones that they can't control and protect.

Du Yuesong is the person in charge of this unified training, if the discipline is lax, the people below will do whatever they want, and they will have what face to explain to the above. What's more, now that something has happened, if you don't care about these boys, how can you deal with it. Thinking of this, Du Yuesong first issued an order, all those who went out without permission and did not return to participate in the same call, after their return and confirmed that they had nothing to do with the Xi Pengqing incident, they should be immediately sent home and lose their training qualifications.

After that, Du Yuesong continued to read the collected report.

Very good friends with Xi Pengqing, including Bo Kai, were not with him that day. Someone once invited Xi Pengqing to go out together, but he seemed to have something else and turned down all the invitations of others.

In addition, although there were many people on the mountain that day, the place where Xi Pengqing had an accident was a little remote, and no one was around. Everyone arrived there after hearing a loud noise, so no one witnessed it.

It seems that if you want to investigate further, you have to start with this magic stone. However, in addition to the people who have the magic stone, it is not excluded that some people will discard the magic stone after using it. In this way, it is difficult to find.

Thinking of this, Du Yuesong remembered the Yu Feng who picked up the magic stone in the mountains that day. He picked up the magic stone that Yu Feng had handed over from his subordinates, and looked at it carefully, trying to find some clues from it.

I don't know if I saw any mystery, but after a while, he put down the stone. He said to his men, "Go on to inquire about them today, and see what they have been doing that day." Besides, go and call this Yu Feng first, I have something to ask him. ”
