Ling Zhenfei moved from the front to the back, checking each room thoroughly, but he did not find Phoenix.
Ling Zhenfei knew that if he continued wandering aimlessly, he might never find what he was looking for. The best method now was to find someone to interrogate properly, but whom should he ask?
With that thought in mind, Ling Zhenfei began searching for an appropriate target to question within the building.
At that moment, Ling Zhenfei was drawn to the situation in one of the rooms, which looked similar to any ordinary room, only the man inside was unlike any other.
Unexpectedly, the man in the room was a cultivator, and Ling Zhenfei had seen him before—he had been part of the group that had attacked Ling Zhenfei earlier.
If he could capture this youngster, he would surely be able to find out where Phoenix was.
However, entering the room and capturing this man alive wasn't going to be easy.
First, he had to get into the room, which was locked from the inside. Furthermore, even if Ling Zhenfei managed to enter, subduing the cultivator in the shortest time possible was another challenge.
After contemplating for a moment, Ling Zhenfei had an idea. A slight smile on his lips, he released his Divine Sense, instantly infiltrating the lock mechanism.
Now very familiar with the mechanics of door locks, with a minor adjustment of his Divine Sense, the door swung open.
Ling Zhenfei forcefully pushed the door open, stepped into the small room, and then closed the door behind him.
The noise made by Ling Zhenfei while entering naturally startled the two people on the bed.
"What's the matter, did you forget to lock the door?" The cultivator glanced back, saw only clothing, and assumed it was an acquaintance without any concern.
Without turning his head, the cultivator spoke to Ling Zhenfei, "Sorry, my friend, the room is taken. Move along quickly."
Ling Zhenfei gave a small smile and casually sat down on a stool at the foot of the bed, "No problem, you go ahead and finish, then it's my turn."
The cultivator was taken aback by the response, "Are you sick in the head, kid? Do you know who I am? I'm Steel Fist Shen Wu."
"Oh, Steel Fist Shen Wu, my apologies. Please, continue by all means," Ling Zhenfei said, seemingly undisturbed.
"Are you asking for trouble? I don't need an audience for my business, get out immediately!" Shen Wu was becoming angry.
Spinning around, he leapt off the bed towards Ling Zhenfei, ready to attack, but upon seeing Ling Zhenfei's face, he froze.
"You, how is it you?"
In the recent battle, Ling Zhenfei had taken out Kuang Tie with a single move, and Shen Wu had been among those encircling Ling Zhenfei.
Kuang Tie was their leader, and Shen Wu was obviously aware of Kuang Tie's strength. However, such strength had not lasted even a single move against Ling Zhenfei, which spoke volumes of Ling Zhenfei's prowess.
"That's right, it's me," Ling Zhenfei smiled at Shen Wu, appearing entirely harmless.
Cold sweat broke out on Shen Wu's face, his earlier rage completely subsided.
"What do you want?"
Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "Nothing much, did I interrupt you? You can finish up first if you want."
"No need, no need, I'm done. If you want to play with this woman, I'll leave her to you."
Ling Zhenfei smirked, "I'll pass on the woman; I just want to ask you something."
"Ask away, ask away." Shen Wu was quite intelligent; knowing Ling Zhenfei's capabilities, any resistance would be suicidal. He had no intention of fighting back.
Ling Zhenfei never expected things to go so smoothly. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Was my friend captured?"
Shen Wu nodded, "Yes, she was captured, but she also killed quite a few of our people."
"Where is she being held?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Wu said, "She should be locked up by Lao Hu. Lao Hu is famously lecherous, and with your friend being so beautiful, he won't let her go."
"So where is this Lao Hu?"
"In the farthest room of Tunnel No. 8?" Shen Wu replied honestly.
"Really?"
"Do I have any reason to lie to you? As long as you don't kill me, I'll tell you everything," Shen Wu said with a worried expression.
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Then where is Wu Yingxiong?"
Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei ask this, Shen Wu's face stiffened slightly, but he still said, "I really don't know where Wu Yingxiong is. The place where he rests is always changing, so I don't know where."
Ling Zhenfei didn't have too many doubts about this, as Wu Yingxiong was known for his cunning behavior, and it was entirely normal for him to change places every day.
However, at this moment, Ling Zhenfei noticed the woman on the bed had a vacant look in her eyes and opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something.
"Do you know where Wu Yingxiong is?" Ling Zhenfei asked the woman.
The woman glanced at Shen Wu and, seeing his fiercely shining eyes, hastily said, "I don't know, I don't know, how could I know."
Ling Zhenfei understood that the woman definitely knew, but she was too afraid to speak with Shen Wu present. He hadn't expected Shen Wu to be so dishonest.
Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense had already enveloped Shen Wu. At that moment, with a Soul Shock, Shen Wu's mind went blank, and then Ling Zhenfei punched him in the head, knocking Shen Wu unconscious.
"Now you can talk. Where is Wu Yingxiong?"
The girl looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "I can tell you where Wu Yingxiong is, but you need to promise me one condition."
"Do you think you're in a position to negotiate with me?"
"Then just say what you want, and if I can do it, I will definitely help you."
The woman smiled, "I know you're definitely not one of them. I just ask you to rescue all of us poor people."
After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry. The government has already set their sight on this place, and I was sent by them. I believe they will soon take action against this place. Just tell everyone not to worry and to stay alive."
"So why are you looking for Wu Yingxiong?"
"Of course, to find an opportunity to kill him. That's my mission," Ling Zhenfei felt that this girl could be trusted.
"Thank you. You've shown me a glimmer of hope. I do indeed know of Wu Yingxiong's whereabouts. My two sisters were summoned to attend to Wu Yingxiong tonight, in the Jade Hall of Tunnel No. 3."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "I've got it, thank you. This man has been knocked out by me, you handle him."
After finishing speaking, Ling Zhenfei turned and walked out. At that moment, someone also came out from a small room nearby, pulling up his trousers, obviously having just finished his business.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei, the person smiled, "How was it, brother? Did you have enough fun?"
Ling Zhenfei sneered, "Of course."
