Without further hesitation, Su Feng placed the spirit stones on the ground.
The moment they came into contact with spiritual energy, the spirit stones on the ground emitted a fluorescent glow, flashing incessantly.
The spiritual energy, invisible to the naked eye and floating in the air, is being gradually absorbed by the spirit stones.
Fortunately, absorbing multiple spirit stones at the same time doesn't take much time.
Before long, all the spiritual energy in the air was absorbed.
"It's done."
Su Feng smiled contentedly and stuffed the spirit stones, now "full and satisfied," back into his Qiankun bag.
Just then, a commotion arose outside the ancestral hall.
Jiang Dalong's loud voice made it exceptionally clear.
"Where is Young Master Su?!"
“In…inside…” Qiu Shengwencai’s trembling voice could be heard again.
"Why is there no sound?... Never mind, you few go guard the back door, the rest of you stand in the front, get ready to break down the door... Listen to my command!"
"three……"
"two……"
Jiang Dalong stood outside the ancestral hall gate, facing the tightly closed wooden door, looking extremely nervous.
He held up three fingers and was counting down.
However, just as the number landed on "one," the door opened from the inside...
squeak--
The cracked wooden door opened, and Su Feng walked out calmly.
"Stop!" Jiang Dalong was startled and hurriedly ordered his men to put away their guns. "Put your guns away, it's Young Master Su!"

Chapter 85 Completing the Magical Artifact, A Strange Strange Flame?
The crowd in front of them stared in disbelief as Su Feng walked out.
Jiang Dalong was so shocked his glasses almost fell off. He quickly straightened himself and asked, "Young Master Su, what about that zombie?"
Su Feng said softly, "It's been resolved..." He glanced towards the ancestral hall behind them, then added meaningfully, "The fight was quite intense just now, so..."
Jiang Dalong hadn't even recovered from the first half of the sentence when he turned to look at the ancestral hall and almost cried out.
Good heavens, the ancestral hall has been reduced to ruins!
Broken bricks and tiles were everywhere, and even the coffins that were placed there were smashed to pieces...
"I will take responsibility for the losses suffered by the commander-in-chief. I will have someone come and renovate this place."
Su Feng didn't want to give people something to talk about, and besides, he didn't care about this small amount of money.
"No...no need! Young Master Su, you're too kind!" Jiang Dalong quickly waved his hand. "Young Master Su helped me solve the trouble hidden in the ancestral hall. I'm already grateful enough. How could I let Young Master Su spend money on me?"
Seeing Jiang Dalong's obsequious and fawning manner, Su Feng said nothing more and walked away with a smile.
"Cough cough..." Jiang Dalong quickly switched back to his previous serious demeanor and ordered his subordinates, "You guys hurry up and go inside, search to see if anyone is still breathing, and if so, just kill them!"
Ignoring Jiang Dalong's shouts from behind, Su Feng approached Uncle Jiu and the others.
Even now, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were still reeling from Su Feng's glorious feat of single-handedly defeating the bronze-armored corpse. It was only after Uncle Jiu pinched their thighs that they were able to react.
"Wow, Young Master Su is really amazing!"
"They actually managed to subdue the bronze-armored corpse!"
Uncle Nine chimed in, praising repeatedly, "Young Master Su has truly broadened my horizons today. To be able to deal with even this bronze-armored corpse so easily, Young Master Su's cultivation level must be..."
"Uncle, you flatter me." Su Feng said with a faint smile, "The zombie just now was not entirely a bronze-armored zombie. Judging from the age of the formation, someone must have been raising it here for at least thirty years. Although its magic was powerful, it was far from being a real bronze-armored zombie."
Whether by coincidence or not, if they hadn't come to the ancestral hall today and discovered the secret beneath, it would have been a different story.
Perhaps this zombie might actually evolve into a bronze-armored zombie.
During the fight, Su Feng noticed something amiss. Although the corpse was thick-skinned and incredibly strong, its attacks were stiff and completely lacked any spirit!
If it really were a bronze-armored corpse, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
However, since he had already absorbed the spiritual energy and there was still some left, he didn't bother with the rest.
Just then, Jiang Dalong came running over excitedly to report the situation, as if he regarded Su Feng as his boss.
“Young Master Su, there’s nothing unusual about this ancestral hall now… but there’s one thing I just couldn’t figure out on the way here: what was the purpose of setting up such an evil formation under my Jiang family ancestral hall? Why would they want to harm me like this?”
Such doubts were not unique to Jiang Dalong; Su Feng and even Uncle Jiu and the others had pondered this question for a long time, but none of them could find an answer.
"It seems that the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect have been plotting here for many years. Now that this corpse-raising ground has been destroyed, they must have noticed it."
Su Feng said in a deep voice, "The premise is that they are still alive."
This corpse-raising ground should be nearly thirty or forty years old. According to Jiang Dalong's previous explanation, they were the ones who devised the plan to build this ancestral hall a few years ago. In other words, the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect who set up this formation are all old men over fifty who know their destiny.
Uncle Nine suddenly thought of something and said, "I've heard before that the Corpse Refining Sect specializes in evil arts, such as resurrecting corpses and prolonging life. I'm afraid the zombie under this ancestral hall today is also for this purpose."
"No matter what, the formation has been broken, the zombies have been eliminated, and their scheme has failed..." Su Feng turned back to look at the dilapidated ancestral hall again, and frowned slightly. "But I'm afraid these Corpse Refining Sect disciples won't let this go so easily."
……
After cleaning up the ancestral hall, Jiang Dalong ordered a few of his men to guard the place well, and then led the remaining soldiers down the mountain with Su Feng and the others.
As the sun sets behind the western mountains and the last rays of dawn fade into the sky, night falls...
At the foot of the mountain, soldiers led the way with torches, while Su Feng and his companions followed behind.
"Young Master Su, we really owe you a lot for your help this time."
"Alright, alright, there's no need for further thanks, Commander." Su Feng waved his hand impatiently, but Jiang Dalong beside him continued to thank him incessantly.
Jiang Dalong recounted how long it took to descend the mountain.
The intention to flatter and curry favor is so obvious that anyone with eyes can see it.
Uncle Nine walked behind, constantly sneering.
"I wonder if Young Master Su will grace my home with his presence tonight? I've ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast of delicacies, and I'll also bring out my twenty-year-old vintage liquor... ~..."
Jiang Dalong was speaking excitedly when Su Feng interrupted him.
"Has the commander forgotten that there is still danger at home that hasn't been eliminated?"
One sentence immediately pulled Jiang Dalong back into his previous state of panic. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh no! That vixen is still in my house!"
He was so happy just now that he forgot that there was a witch living in his house and always by his wife's side!
This is a ticking time bomb!
Mentioning this topic, Uncle Nine couldn't help but quicken his pace to stand beside Su Feng, "Young Master Su, this matter is indeed a troublesome one..."
"Although we don't know when that Ninth Infant will make its move, it is a matter of life and death, so we can't ignore it."
Jiang Dalong chimed in from the side, "Two, two lives."
Su Feng rubbed his temples in distress.
Why can't he just have a moment of peace?
They had just finished dealing with the corpse-raising site in the ancestral hall, and before they could even catch their breath, they had to start worrying about the nine-generation evil infant again...
“Dealing with the nine-generation evil infant is not difficult; Uncle Jiu and I can handle it. However, ensuring the safety of the Marshal’s wife at the same time is not so simple.”
Su Feng directly pointed out the troublesome aspect of the matter: "That maid is by the side of the Marshal's wife all day long, making it extremely difficult to approach her without making a sound. In addition, the lady is pregnant and is at her weakest. The Nine-Life Evil Infant may take advantage of the period before delivery to enter her body."
If they usurp the nest, the offspring will be a "monster".
"What should I do? Young Master Su, you have to help me! I can't let anything happen to my wife and children!"
Jiang Dalong grabbed Su Feng's hand and shook it violently.
Su Feng subtly withdrew his hand and joked, "Isn't the commander making things difficult for me? How can you have both the pawn and the chariot at the same time?"
"Oh dear, Young Master Su, please stop teasing me. I will keep my promise to you today. I will talk to the merchants in Jiuquan Town tomorrow, okay?"
Watching Jiang Dalong being precisely controlled by Su Feng, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, Uncle Jiu felt a pang of jealousy.
It seems that this burly, unreliable-looking warlord genuinely cares for Lianmei.
"General, don't worry, I'll think of a solution when I get back."
As he spoke, Su Feng suddenly remembered something and stopped at the fork in the road.
"Young Master Su, have you thought of something?" Jiang Dalong asked hurriedly, but before he could finish speaking, Su Feng quickly raised his hand and pricked his earlobe. "Ouch, ouch, ouch."
Su Feng ignored him, smeared his blood on the talisman paper and drew on it. After finishing, he threw it to Jiang Dalong.
"This is a life-saving talisman that can keep you safe. Today's events involve the Corpse Refining Sect, and they will not let this go easily. The matter of the ancestral hall is also related to your Jiang family. It is likely that the first person to seek revenge will be you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dalong trembled in shock, "Then, then I..."
"Don't worry, it's a long way to go, and it won't be short for them to get here. Before that, I'll figure out how to deal with them."
If what was said before is true, then those disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect must all be highly skilled masters with profound magical power and profound cultivation.
In other words, it's a walking "experience baby"! It might even have more spiritual energy than the feng shui masters we killed before!
This is something that's been delivered to my doorstep; I might as well take it.
Thinking it over, Su Feng stretched and decisively went in the opposite direction at the fork in the road.
Jiang Dalong called out anxiously from behind, "Young Master Su, where are you going?"
"Of course we should go to the town and find an inn. Having so many people as guests at the Marshal's Mansion at the same time would only alert them."
Su Feng's words made sense, and Uncle Jiu nodded in agreement, then followed with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
"General, you should go back first and hold your troops still. Remember not to be impatient and wait for our news."
