Xu Lin and Lin Feng also noticed at this moment that there were no remains in the coffin, and both wore expressions of bewilderment.
"How could this be? I personally saw my parents buried back then, and the hospital issued death certificates. How is it possible they are not dead?"
"Daoist, are you mistaken?"
Xu Lin was utterly confused, her mind in a mess.
"Impossible, your parents are definitely still alive. This much, this Daoist is certain of. You should be happy."
Duan Liang said with great conviction, stroking his chin.
"My parents aren't dead?"
Xu Lin didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
This news was too explosive; she found it difficult to accept.
"I think there might be some hidden circumstances. Perhaps your parents had some unspeakable secret back then and had to fake their deaths."
"This is indeed good news for you; at least there is still hope."
Lin Feng rubbed Xu Lin's shoulder, curious about what Xu Lin's parents were up to.
Since they were not dead, why did they disappear from the world?
No parents in the world do not love their children.
How could they bear to abandon Xu Lin and Xu Zhe?
Unless they were also forced.
Xu Lin took a long time to recover from the shocking news.
Her eyes were teary, and her emotions were in complete disarray.
"Don't worry. Since your parents are not dead, they will definitely appear."
"I will also help you inquire about your parents' whereabouts. With me here, everything will be alright."
Lin Feng held Xu Lin's shoulder, knowing how difficult this moment must be for her.
"Yes, I'll leave it to you. Please keep this matter confidential, not even Xu Zhe should know."
Xu Lin gazed at Lin Feng.
"I know. I'll take you back. Go back and rest. Leave your parents' matter to me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Lin Feng was genuinely curious about the whole story and intended to investigate it thoroughly for Xu Lin.
Thus, after escorting Xu Lin back to the hotel, Lin Feng took Duan Liang to investigate Xu Lin's parents' whereabouts.
"You little brat, you're investigating, but why are you dragging this Daoist along?"
"This Daoist has been out for a long time and must return to the sect. Goodbye."
Duan Liang was extremely annoyed with Lin Feng. He was truly afraid that he might not be able to resist and kill Lin Feng.
"Fine, you can go. After all, if I were to be killed, you would suddenly die as well."
Lin Feng said indifferently.
"You, don't push your luck!"
Duan Liang clenched his fists, his gaze towards Lin Feng filled with intense killing intent.
"Daoist, it's no use being angry. We are bound together now, and I don't want to implicate you because of me."
"How about this? You don't have to protect me personally, but you can give me your jar for self-defense."
"Isn't that jar a heavenly-grade artifact? With this artifact and my Flying Pig Speed, I can protect myself."
Lin Feng had long coveted Duan Liang's Youming Demonic Jar.
Last time, Duan Liang relied on this artifact to fight against three Heavenly Ranking experts of the Ye family single-handedly.
This was enough to show the terrifying power of the jar.
Duan Liang looked at Lin Feng's outrageous request and was amused to the point of being angry.
"Little brat, you've set this Daoist up like this, and you still want to give me the Youming Demonic Light? What are you thinking?"
"Daoist, aren't I doing this for your own good? We are bound together now, like brothers. What's yours is mine, right? If I die, what use is the artifact to you?"
"The most important thing now is for me to stay alive. Only if I live can you remain healthy. Consider which is more important!"
Lin Feng reasoned with him emotionally and logically.
Duan Liang was truly rendered speechless by Lin Feng's argument.
It was indeed true that if Lin Feng died, even with vast wealth, it would be of no use to him.
"Alright then, I'll lend you this Youming Demonic Jar for self-defense for now."
"While I'm away, don't cause trouble, kid. Safety is the most important thing."
With a thought, Duan Liang conjured the black jar into his hand.
As he handed the jar to Lin Feng, he did not forget to admonish him.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
Lin Feng grinned from ear to ear. With the Youming Demonic Jar, he was confident that few people would be his match.
"Don't celebrate too early. Although the Youming Demonic Jar is a heavenly-grade artifact, it's still missing half of it. It can only unleash half its power."
Duan Liang quickly reminded him, fearing Lin Feng would get too cocky.
"What do you mean? How is this jar missing half?"
Lin Feng was puzzled.
"You ignorant fellow! The complete Youming Demonic Jar has a lid. Without the lid, how can it unleash its full power?"
"Last time, when I fought those three Nascent Soul old monsters, if I had the complete Youming Demonic Jar, those three would be nothing!"
Duan Liang snorted disdainfully.
"Daoist, so you mean if we find the lid, this jar will become incredibly powerful?"
Lin Feng understood.
"Of course. The complete Youming Demonic Jar can suck people in. Even a Soul Transformation stage expert would regret their actions!"
"It's a pity that when this Daoist obtained the jar, it was already missing its lid. I don't know if that lid still exists in this world."
Duan Liang said regretfully.
"Alright, I understand. Daoist, be careful on your journey. I'll be going now."
Lin Feng put the Youming Demonic Jar into his storage bag and left with a smile.
Duan Liang looked at Lin Feng, who had all his belongings, and felt both angry and helpless.
He was practically Lin Feng's father now; whatever Lin Feng wanted, he had to give. It was truly a sin!
After parting ways with Duan Liang, Lin Feng began to plan how to investigate Xu Lin's parents' whereabouts.
He visited Xu Lin's old family residence and found that there were no surveillance cameras nearby. Checking surveillance footage would be useless.
Moreover, even if there were cameras nearby, after more than ten years, the surveillance videos would not have been preserved.
However, since it was an unnatural case, perhaps the Dragon Riders would know about it?
Lin Feng pondered this and decided to visit the Dragon Riders.
Thus, Lin Feng contacted Tombstone to get the location of the Dragon Riders' headquarters and immediately used Flying Pig Speed to rush over.
Soon, Lin Feng arrived at the location given by Tombstone.
Before him stood an impregnable skyscraper.
The entire building was made of bulletproof glass, with no windows, only a large iron gate leading into the building's interior.
The large iron gate required retinal verification.
Without internal authorization, outsiders could not enter.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Just as Lin Feng was considering how to get in, a clear and cold voice rang out.
Lin Feng turned his head and saw a beautiful woman in a black leather suit behind him.
This woman's demeanor was very similar to Ling Feiyan's, and her appearance was also comparable.
If he guessed correctly, she should be someone from within the Dragon Riders.
