The voice echoed in the vast mine, carrying an undeniable authority. In the face of Lin Feng's questioning, not a single member of the Fire Phoenix Society dared to respond; each one bowed their heads, kneeling silently on the ground like frightened mice.
Seeing this, Lin Feng snorted coldly and raised his voice again, "I will give you one last chance! Whoever can provide useful information will be spared from death! Otherwise—hmph! Don’t blame me for being merciless!"
As his words hung in the air, an invisible pressure suddenly spread throughout the cavern, sending a chill up the spines of everyone present.
One of the lackeys from the Fire Phoenix Society trembled as he spoke, "My lord, I know about this matter." His voice quivered, as if he feared that a wrong word could lead to his demise.
"Speak quickly! If you utter a single lie, your head will roll!" Lin Feng glared fiercely, his voice booming.
The lackey shook in fear and hurriedly replied, "All these ores have been transported outside Youzhou City!"
"What? Such a thing exists?" Lin Feng was taken aback, his mind racing with questions about how so many ores could have been smuggled out of the city without anyone noticing.
At that moment, seeing that someone had finally spoken up, others began to chime in, eager to lessen their own culpability and grasp any chance for leniency. They started revealing various secrets about the Fire Phoenix Society.
According to them, this society had quietly emerged thirty years ago. Back then, the County Magistrate of Youzhou City, Xiang Tian, harbored treasonous intentions and openly rebelled against the court. After seizing control of Youzhou City with his troops, he grew increasingly ambitious, launching attacks on surrounding cities in an attempt to expand his power.
The Former Emperor was wise and decisive, promptly dispatching troops to suppress this rebellion. After a fierce battle, they successfully quelled the uprising and brought the traitor Xiang Tian to justice.
Since that time, this enigmatic Fire Phoenix Society had lurked like a ghost hidden in darkness, silently biding its time. At times it stirred up waves of chaos; at others it vanished without a trace as if it had never existed.
The actions of the Fire Phoenix Society had long since caught the attention of the court. For many years, the authorities had kept a close watch on them but had yet to completely eradicate their presence.
Knowing the intricacies of the situation, Lin Feng made a decisive choice and ordered those familiar with the circumstances to lead him, determined to delve into the tiger's den and uncover the hideout of these chaotic factions. At that moment, he resolutely decided to destroy the mine that concealed countless secrets.
With a single command, the mine was instantly reduced to ruins. The innocent villagers were finally able to regain their freedom and hurried back to their homes to reunite with their loved ones. However, Lin Feng did not act blindly; he understood the importance of speed and secrecy in military operations.
Thus, for this mission, he did not lead a large group but instead selected a dozen capable individuals, including Zhang Zihao, Lu An, and Mardu, to accompany him. After all, having too many people could easily alert the enemy and jeopardize their plans.
The group followed the narrow path indicated by their guide. Before long, they arrived at a location not far from Youzhou City.
