Chapter 98: The Skeleton's Labyrinth

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  After a moment of astonishment, everyone's expression was different. The principal didn't come to his senses for a while, and before that, he felt that Yi Tian was very ordinary, just treating him as a junior of Yun Feiyang.

  Xiao Tong smiled silently and nodded at Yi Tian, with a kind of appreciation from a senior to a junior.

  Leng Feifei was indeed a strange enough person, with the corner of her mouth raised and her eyes narrowed as she looked at Yi Tian, seemingly thinking of something. Her state was obvious to anyone who saw it, and didn't require careful consideration.

  As for other people's gaze, Yi Tian didn't mind, but when he saw the freak in front of him, although the opponent was a woman, Yi Tian had the urge to scold her. If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, seeing her expression, he would have hated to hit her, this was also the first time he had such an impulse towards a woman.

  Although he couldn't be too aggressive in his actions, Yi Tian also didn't want to show weakness and stared back at the past with an even more detestable expression than Leng Fei.

  Seeing this, Leng Fei's nose wrinkled and she coldly snorted: "Freak!"

  Although her voice was not loud, the people present listened carefully and looked at her strangely. Yi Tian had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood. Did this woman not realize that she was different from others? She even coldly ridiculed others as freaks. This is really a freak, no, it should be a freak among freaks!

  "Hehe, don't mind me, little friend. My disciple's personality is indeed a bit strange, but he doesn't have a bad heart, so don't take it to heart."

  Perhaps knowing that his beloved apprentice was prone to trouble, Xiao Tong explained, not for the sake of saving others' face, but Cloud Flying Yang's face had to be given after all.

  "Don't worry, Xiao Lao, I won't treat you like a woman!" Yi Tian responded with feigned magnanimity. However, he had indeed taken it to heart and hadn't provoked anyone, yet this woman had come looking for trouble on her own initiative. If she didn't provoke him, that would be fine, but she really had ulterior motives!

  "Hmph, you hypocrite! I suppose you don't dare do anything!" Cold Feifei raised her leg and rubbed her fists together, staring at Yi Tian as if she wanted to learn a few moves from him.

  Listening to his voice and observing his actions, Yi Tian's face suddenly changed color, narrowing his eyes as he looked back.

  Seeing his expression was somewhat off, Yun Feiyang furrowed his brow and hastily said: "Old Xiao, let your disciple say a few less words, it's more important to discuss the main matter!"

  Xiao Tong also shook his head helplessly and stared at Leng Feifei, possibly because there were many people around, so he didn't scold her to save her face.

  Turning his head around, Yun Fei Yang said: "This... Yi Tian, hehe, don't mind it, let's talk about the important matter, that's what matters!"

  Yi Tian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmly said after stabilizing the anger triggered by Leng Feifei: "Please, Cloud Old Master, explain the origin of the construction site's skeletal remains. I'm all ears!"

  Seeing Yi Tian being so serious, Yun Fei Yang didn't dare to delay any longer, fearing that if he wasn't careful, he would really infuriate this little Shifu, and the trouble would be big.

  Not even he himself thought that Yitian had such skills, let alone Yitian having a master with a bad temper!

  "Haha, okay, okay!" Yun Feiyang cleared his throat slightly and continued: "It's like this, I had someone investigate the archives at the National Archives and the Government Records Bureau, and after analyzing various historical materials, on July 29th, 1937, the Japanese invasion army entered Yanjing, until their surrender in 1945, for a full eight years, Yanjing was under their occupation."

  "In the vicinity of Yanjing University, within a radius of tens of miles, there was a long-term stationed unit called the Takada Eagle Division, commanded by Yamada Sazuo. Within this division, there was a small group engaged in biological and chemical research. After thorough investigation, no conclusive evidence was found to prove that this division conducted anti-human research. However, over these eight years, the population of this region decreased sharply from 3 million to just over 2 million, meaning approximately 1 million people went missing."

  "Under the blockade policy adopted by Japan at that time, the number of people entering and leaving Yanjing was very limited, and the missing 100,000 people disappeared in such a strange way!"

  At this point, everyone's face turned very unsightly, how could 100,000 people be unaware of where they were going?

  "So you're saying that the skeletons buried underground at the construction site are those of the missing one million people?" Xiao Tong asked with a very serious expression.

  Yun Feiyang nodded slightly and continued: "Due to the large number of skeletal remains buried underground at the construction site, vengeful spirits are attached to them. If excavation is not carried out in a timely manner, it may harm the heavens and the present. Therefore, two days ago, I found a professional exploration team to study the surrounding soil layers, estimating that the year of origin of the skeletal remains was during that period. Calculating from this, it should be during that period when the population decreased!"

  At this time, Ní Zhèn furrowed his brow and said: "Can't we just excavate the remains for research? Clarify the exact cause of death? If that's really the case, then such incidents should be promptly documented and made public to prove the brutality of the Japanese invasion of China. This would also allow us to mobilize national power to take diplomatic action, obtain state compensation, and strive for more benefits!"

  "Your idea is good, it's what any Chinese would think, but the difficulty isn't that simple to talk about. If it were just a scattered group of 100,000 people, gathering the top talents in the country wouldn't be hard, but with so many skeletons and 100,000 vengeful spirits, mishandling them could lead to even more disastrous consequences. The risks can't be assessed or calculated by anyone, and no one has the confidence to do it. As far as I know, there isn't anyone with such abilities. The only solution is eternal sealing!" Yun Feiyang explained with great helplessness.

  As the voice fell, the whole venue was silent. Yi Tian's expression didn't change, but his heart had already stirred up a huge storm. Ten thousand people, damn it, this is really inhumane! How can they do such a thing?

  It's really a tough problem to deal with if one wants to save ten million vengeful spirits on his own. Now, what's in front of us is no longer whether we can save them or not, but how to seal them forever so as not to cause even greater disasters.

  "After a period of silence, Ní Zhèn said: 'This matter, I will immediately give feedback to the top, and hope that several masters can wait patiently for a few days. I believe that the result will come out soon, and then make a decision!'"

  Yun Feiyang and Xiao Tong both nodded in agreement, such things really need to be decided by some high-level officials of the country, but the innocent ones are only those nearly 100,000 resentful spirits.

  They were both helpless about this, unless a god came and could simultaneously ferry so many people to the afterlife, the skeletons would never see the light of day again.

  Yun Fei Yang thought of Long Ao Tian and involuntarily shook his head. To say nothing of him, even the combined efforts of the leaders of various sects and national elders might not be able to accomplish it, let alone gather all these people together. Hmph, it's better to find a god to deal with it!

  Ni Zhen bid farewell to everyone and hastily left. The principal was still in a daze, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock of today's events, which seemed more than what he had experienced in his entire life. To say nothing of ten thousand resentful spirits, one would be enough for him to bear, just thinking about it made him involuntarily feel a chill run down his spine.

  Yi Tian felt sorry for those vengeful spirits in his heart, but there was no way, and he could only do so.

  Yun Feiyang and Xiao Tong both fell into deep thought, seemingly thinking about how to solve the subsequent problems. Only Leng Feifei, after suppressing for a while, returned to normal, eating a lollipop on one side, while staring at Yi Tian with an unusual gaze.

  Especially when she heard that Yi Tian's skills were not small, she raised a competitive heart, and no matter how she looked at Yi Tian, she felt uncomfortable.

  After hearing the whole story, Yi Tian felt that he had nothing to do with it himself. He stood up and cupped his hands together in a gesture of respect: "Cloud Elder, Xiao Elder, Principal, there's nothing for me to do here, I'll take my leave first. If this matter requires my assistance, just give me a shout!"

  In fact, for Yun Feiyang calling himself to come here, Yi Tian was very grateful. He saw that this was Yun Feiyang's way of elevating himself, so that the principal would pay more attention to him in the future.

  "Hehe, alright then, you go back first, we'll be in touch sometime." Yun Feiyang said as he stood up.

  Yun Fei Yang's somewhat abnormal behavior looked very suspicious in Xiao Tong's eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it and remained seated on the sofa, smiling and waving goodbye to Yi Tian.

  The principal stood up to see Yun Feiyang, and he also stood up unconsciously, smiling: "Hehe, Yi Tian, I really didn't expect you to have such great skills. Alright, you can go back first. If you encounter any difficulties in school in the future, come find me, and I will do my best to help you!"

  "Thanks for taking care of me, principal. It seems I'll be troubling you again in the future, haha..." As he spoke, he waved goodbye to the three of them and left.

  After leaving the principal's office, he planned to go to the cafeteria. The breakfast had been digested long ago and now he was really a bit hungry.

  But just as he hadn't walked out of the corridor yet, he discovered that someone was following him. He turned his head to look and damn, it was actually Leng Feifei!

  Yitian didn't think it was worth arguing about either, and thought it would be better to just ignore this somewhat abnormal woman.

  But just as he was walking normally forward, a whooshing sound came from behind him, and upon listening carefully, it sounded like the sound of footsteps moving quickly.

  Seeing this, Yi Tian's heart cried out in alarm, thinking that this crazy woman might make a move against him!

  He didn't hesitate and quickly turned his head around to look at the other party, and as expected, Cold Phi Phi had indeed taken a fighting stance!

  Just as the opponent was about to arrive in front of him, Yi Tian clenched his fists and prepared to meet him head-on when Leng Feifei suddenly stopped.

  This left Yi Tian somewhat perplexed, and what happened next left him even more shocked.

  Only then did he see Ke Li looking over at him with a smile on his face, and said with a sly tone: "Hey, beautiful, how about we become friends?"

  At these words, Yi Tian was taken aback, was he talking to himself?

  No!

  He felt a presence behind him, and it was only then that he realized Leng Feifei wasn't being deceitful. When he turned his head to look, Lu Tingting walked over, while Leng Feifei was talking to Lu Tingting!

  Yi Tian suddenly lost his temper and shivered involuntarily all over, silently cursing in his heart, "Damn pervert!"

  Watching Cold FeiFei ignore him and walk by, Yi Tian finally put down his guard, but at this moment, Lu TingTing's face revealed a strange expression. She couldn't quite tell if Cold FeiFei was male or female, and suddenly became vigilant.

  Yi Tian quickly walked towards Lu Tingting, worried that this abnormal woman would make some unconventional move.

  Just as Lu Tingting was on full alert, Leng Feifei opened her arms to hug Lu Tingting, but Yi Tian quickly stepped forward and pried open her arms, then pulled Lu Tingting behind him. "She's my friend, you'd better behave yourself!"
