1218 It Turns Out to Be a Group of Grave Robbers
Although Ye Feng admired the Duanmu family’s character of keeping their word, he was a little annoyed that he was venting his anger on Feng Jianwu.
Duanmu Leiting also reacted and cupped his fists at Feng Jianwu. “I’m sorry. I’m not targeting you.”
Only then did Feng Jianwu’s expression improve a little. She waved her hand and said, “I’m fine.”
Ye Feng saw that he had apologized, he did not continue to nag at him. “You said earlier that those divine artifacts were stolen? What happened?”
The divine weapons forged by Master Ou Yezi could be considered national treasures. Losing even one would be a great loss, let alone losing all of them.
Duanmu Leiting gritted his teeth and said, “Last year, a group of Japanese came to Mount Zhanlu for a vacation. I didn’t pay much attention to it because many people had been visiting Mount Zhanlu in recent years. Until the Qingming Festival, when I went to sweep the graves of my ancestors, I realized… I found out that our ancestral graves were actually stolen from…”
As he said this, his eyes immediately turned red and was about to bleed.
Ye Feng immediately understood why he hated the Japanese so much. Anyone would go crazy if their ancestral graves were dug up.
Feng Jianwu felt a little ashamed. Although this matter had nothing to do with her, it still made her feel a little guilty.
Duanmu Leiting calmed himself down for a long time before he continued.
“After I discovered that the ancestral graves had been robbed, I hurriedly went to check the place where the divine artifacts were buried. I discovered that the divine artifacts hidden inside had also disappeared. Those were divine artifacts that my Duanmu family has guarded for generations. It was actually stolen by someone. It is simply a great humiliation…”
“I swore, not only would I get those divine artifacts back, I would also take revenge for digging up the graves. Later, I tracked them down and finally found out that it was those Japanese who did it. The leader of them is that Kawamoto Hideki and the four ninjas who chased after me that day…”
“I had already caught up to them, but it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. They actually escaped. Moreover, they used some unknown method to transfer a few divine artifacts to Japan…”
When Duanmu Leiting said this, the veins on his face bulged, and his expression became abnormally ferocious.
Ye Feng quickly comforted him. “Brother Duanmu, the poison in your body has not been completely expelled. Do not get angry. Otherwise, the poison will spread again.”
Duanmu Leiting calmed himself down again. After a long time, he spoke again, “I later heard that this group of people had stayed in China for a long time, searching for ancient tombs and ruins everywhere. Many of the national treasures have already been lost to Japan, and Mount Zhanlu is just one of them.”
Ye Feng immediately understood why Kawamoto Hideki was so familiar with Nanyue Province and he knew it better than a local like him. They were a group of grave robbers.
Duanmu Leiting turned around and glanced at him. “I know that these people are difficult to deal with, so I wanted to sell the remaining Zhanlu Sword and come to Japan to find these b*stards.”
Ye Feng finally understood. “So you sold the Zhanlu Sword that day because of this?”
Duanmu Leiting nodded solemnly. “I came to Japan with the determination to die, so I must find a new owner for the Zhanlu Sword before I leave. That day, I saw that you were not weak and had a good character, so I was willing to entrust it to you.”
Ye Feng bowed and cupped his fists. “Brother Duanmu is determined to die, it is admirable.”
Duanmu Leiting laughed at himself. “What’s there to admire? My Duanmu family has guarded these divine artifacts for generations, but they were all lost in my hands. Even the last Zhanlu Sword had no choice but to be sold. If I die, I won’t even have the face to face Grandmaster Ou Yezi and my ancestors.”
Ye Feng saw his disappointed expression, he could only console him: “If they can steal those divine artifacts, we can get them back, I will help you find them.”
Duanmu Leiting looked at him gratefully, but he shook his head in the end. “These people are very powerful, and their methods are extremely cruel. I was careless yesterday and almost died at their hands. It’s best if you don’t get involved, lest you fall into danger.”
Ye Feng laughed loudly when he heard this. “Brother Duanmu, are you looking down on me, Ye Feng? You dare to enter Japan alone, what do I, Ye Feng, have to fear?”
“But…” Duanmu Leiting was still hesitant.
“Besides, I’ve already been involved for a long time. Even if I want to quit now, those people won’t let me off.” Ye Feng then told him about the discovery of the King Xiang’s secret treasure map, the conflict he had with Niu Sidun, and the series of events after that.
After Duanmu Leiting heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.
“In that case, this Niu Sidun is very likely to have something to do with this group of people. He might even be the mastermind behind this.” He sorted out the general context and finally came to a conclusion.
Ye Feng nodded. “If there is no one inside China, it will be very difficult for them to bring those national treasures out of China. This Niu Sidun is very likely the spy.”
Duanmu Leiting immediately gritted his teeth in hatred. “The thing I hate the most in my life is a b*stard who betrays others. This person’s behavior is no different from that of a traitor.”
Ye Feng nodded. “I have a feeling that Niu Sidun is not dead. He is probably hiding in a corner and manipulating things.”
“Now that we are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, it is very disadvantageous for us. Therefore, we must think of a way to fish them out and then catch them all in one fell swoop.”
Duanmu Leiting immediately sat up straight and stared at him with a burning gaze. “My brain is not as good as yours. I only know how to fight and kill. Just tell me what plan you have. I’ll listen to you.”
Feng Jianwu, who was standing at the side, was instantly amused. There was actually someone who admitted that his brain was not working well.
Ye Feng did not smile. He pondered for a moment. “I have a clue now, that is the Yuzhou Cauldron. We should use this Yuzhou Cauldron as bait to fish these people out…”
Duanmu Leiting rubbed his hands together excitedly. “Yes, just like fishing. Fish out all these b*stards.”
Ye Feng sighed. “But our strength is still a little weak. In order to be safe, we have to think of a way to increase our strength…”
Duanmu Leiting listened carefully to his plan, afraid that he would miss a single word.
Feng Jianwu who was standing at the side looked at this burly man who weighed nearly 300 pounds, he was squatting in front of Ye Feng obediently like an obedient… Tibetan Mastiff. It was a little comical.
