Instead, there was an unspoken excitement and anticipation.
"If that's the case, what should I do next?"
Sensing Dong Hua's eagerness to be involved, feeling that even a second wasted was a waste of his life,
Liu He no longer played coy. He took out his phone and opened a map. He then pinpointed a location on the map in the southeastern suburbs of the city.
Dong Hua immediately leaned in.
But when he saw the location, Dong Hua showed a look of confusion.
"Isn't it just a dilapidated temple? Our next move is to go here. Could it be that this Lu Feng is here?"
What a joke!
Liu He shook his head, "Lu Feng is not here."
Hearing this, Dong Hua's face, which had gradually begun to believe, once again showed a hint of disdain.
"Then it's over, isn't it?"
He had thought Liu He really had a clever plan.
What was the point of all that talk earlier? It was just boasting.
A hint of contempt was about to spread in the depths of his eyes.
However, at that moment, Liu He leaned closer to Dong Hua, his voice gradually lowering.
"That's right, this place is a small temple, and Lu Feng is not here at the moment, but there is a great Buddha inside the temple!"
"What great Buddha?"
Hearing this, Liu He quickly told Dong Hua the whole story of Lu Feng descending the mountain.
Combined with his previous words and what Liu He was now whispering in his ear,
A clue gradually appeared in Dong Hua's previously confused mind.
And as Liu He spoke and time passed, this vague clue became clearer and clearer.
At this point, although it had been a roundabout journey, Dong Hua finally understood the other party's good intentions.
What the other party said and what he thought gradually merged into a single thread.
Dong Hua's previous displeasure immediately vanished.
At the same time, he couldn't help but whisper to himself.
"It seems I have to thank this old fellow properly. If it weren't for this old fellow, how could I have become an enemy of Lu Feng?"
Dong Hua said this with a sinister look on his face.
Although he had never met this person, Dong Hua now only wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible.
Who told Lu Feng to recognize Dong Ye?
Serves him right!
Seeing this, Liu He's lips curved slightly.
He understood that his trip had not been in vain.
Liu He couldn't help but seize the opportunity to push further.
"Since that's the case, I hope President Dong can make arrangements as soon as possible, and do it discreetly. If you need any assistance, I, Liu, will not hesitate."
Dong Hua's previous hesitation was because he didn't know what Liu He was planning.
Now that they had been so candid and spoken to this extent,
What else could he say?
Dong Hua immediately adopted the demeanor of a leader.
"Liu He, don't worry. This matter will be completed one hundred percent."
It was deep in the night, and the surroundings, especially the outskirts, were pitch black.
However, in the Taoist temple where Lu Feng had stayed before descending the mountain,
The scene was completely different. The temple was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
And under the illumination of the lights and flames, an old, simple cultivation room was engulfed by countless tongues of fire.
Surrounded by fierce flames, a few young Taoist disciples from the temple were attracted by the fire and rushed over.
What is this?
However, when they arrived, their faces turned pale.
The scene before them was something they might not witness even once or twice in their lifetime.
The senior disciple followed behind and quickly called out, "What's wrong?"
But all around, there was only a deathly silence.
The group, looking at the fire before them, was already in a panic. They had no idea what had happened. Although they were muttering incoherently, they couldn't form a complete sentence.
Seeing this, the person quickly grabbed the shoulders of the trembling person in front of him with both hands.
"What exactly happened?"
This method proved effective.
But after calming down slightly, the person suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.
"This is bad, Senior Brother. Master seems to be still inside."
This statement was worse than not saying anything. The eldest disciple felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Hearing this, he was completely stunned.
He quickly turned to look at the sea of flames behind him.
The fire was raging, and the chances of survival were slim.
Unsure if he could enter and come out alive, he looked at the people in front of him and asked, "Did you call the fire department?"
A few junior disciples, fortunately, still had some basic common sense.
Seeing them nod in unison,
The senior disciple let out a sigh of relief. However, after a moment, his brow, which had not yet fully relaxed, furrowed again.
Because the fire, which was already not small, became even larger due to a gust of wind.
It was just the outer perimeter before, but now it was subtly encroaching inward.
If this continued, Master's life might be...
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the crowd.
"Hurry up and get buckets to put out the fire."
The fire was raging, and it wouldn't wait for them.
Although the fire department had been called, they couldn't just wait.
As soon as these words were spoken, the scattered crowd suddenly gained a sense of unity.
Finding their leader, their actions, which had been like headless flies, instantly became orderly.
Bucket after bucket of clear water was quickly poured into the fire.
The eldest disciple's heart was burning with anxiety.
Sizzle!
As the clear water came into contact with the fierce flames, white smoke rose into the sky.
Although the group worked tirelessly, the fire was too large; it was like a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, as if fate were against them, the wind grew stronger and stronger.
By the time the fire department arrived,
After extinguishing the raging fire, the entire simple cultivation room had turned into scorched earth.
As for the Master who had been inside, his whereabouts were unknown.
Only a few charred skeletal remains were left.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
All their strength seemed to have been drained away by some mysterious force.
"Master, Master!"
The eldest disciple's legs gave way, and his knees buckled uncontrollably to the ground.
Master was the backbone of everyone.
Although the junior disciples and sisters following behind were still shaken, they followed suit when they saw their senior brother like this.
When this news reached Lu Feng, who was accompanying Lin Mei in the hospital, he was instantly enraged.
"What exactly happened?"
At this moment, Lu Feng was like an enraged beast.
Lin Feng, standing in front of him, worried that if this continued, Lu Feng would likely have an accident, quickly said with concern.
"Lu Feng, Brother Lu Feng, at times like these, you must remain calm!"
This was no small matter, and it was precisely at such times that it was easiest to cause chaos due to panic.
Lin Feng's words were not meant to be malicious but were a summary of his own experience.
However, Lu Feng was only human and could not remain completely unaffected emotionally.
Moreover, it was his own Master who had met with this misfortune.
Lu Feng could not listen to Lin Feng's words at this moment.
"No, I have to go now."
