Martial Sovereign of Myriad Realms

Miss Crow Spirit nodded in agreement. Her admiration for Ye Feng grew.    

"I think we should look for clues to pass the test in the village. As for what that thing is, I don't know."    

Ye Feng shook his head slowly. Although he had thought of many questions, he couldn't think of the key to passing the test.    

"Let's split up. We'll meet here again before nightfall."    

Lady Crow Spirit spoke calmly. She couldn't think of what the key to passing the test was, but it would be better if they split up.    

"Okay."    

Ye Feng and Miss Crow Spirit looked at each other and said, "Be careful."    

After saying that, Ye Feng turned around and left. Miss Crow Spirit looked at Ye Feng and also turned around to leave.    

The village looked small, but it was actually very big. Ye Feng and Miss Crow Spirit had only run around the village twice last night without stopping. The real size of the village was comparable to that of a big city.    

Ye Feng searched the village. He would jump into every courtyard he passed, but these courtyards were all ordinary families. It was just that they had been abandoned for a long time.    

After searching for a while, Ye Feng didn't find anything. The sun had already risen high in the sky. It was already noon.    

"There's still one afternoon left."    

Ye Feng squinted his eyes at the sun and continued his search. After two hours, he arrived at a very luxurious courtyard.    

This courtyard was much bigger than the other courtyards in the village. It should be the residence of someone with a very high status in the village. It was very likely to be the residence of a landlord or a village magistrate.    

Without any hesitation, Ye Feng pushed open the door and entered. He saw a fake mountain and a pond in the courtyard. The water in the pond had dried up, revealing cracked soil and rotten lotus flowers.    

Ye Feng continued to go deeper and arrived at a large hall. The door to the hall was half open, and he could see the eight immortal tables and red wooden chairs inside. They were all expensive furniture.    

"Creak."    

Ye Feng pushed open the door that had been abandoned for a long time. A cloud of dust rose in the hall, so the furniture was covered in a layer of dust. After searching the hall carefully for a while, Ye Feng didn't find much. He only found a few holes in the corner of the wall.    

The holes were thick like dog holes. Just by appearing in the room, people couldn't figure out what they were for.    

After that, Ye Feng walked out of the lobby and went to the backyard to search. He found a servo, which was filled with holes the size of dog holes and a lot of animal feces the size of red beans.    

Above the hall, the ancestral tablets of the master of the courtyard were enshrined. However, most of these tablets had been eaten by unknown creatures, leaving deep ravines in the ground. Ye Feng couldn't see the names recorded on them clearly. He could only tell from the nibbling marks that the nibbling tablets belonged to rats, and they were big rats.    

"Big mouse..."    

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. He thought of the giant rat that had chased after him last night. He looked at the animal feces on the ground and immediately confirmed that it was the rat's feces.    

"Although the rats that left the excrement on the memorial tablet are very big, they haven't reached the level of the giant rats yet. Is there any connection between them?"    

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and thought about it carefully. The other courtyards in the village were completely different from the one he was in now. The current one, whether it was the decoration, area, or location, was excellent. It was incompatible with those dilapidated courtyards.    

"There's something wrong with this courtyard..."    

Ye Feng thought about it carefully. He turned the courtyard upside down, but he still didn't find anything. In the end, he returned to the service hall.    

"Bang!"    

Ye Feng stomped his foot on the large hole in the hall. The cave collapsed, revealing a long tunnel. In the depths of the tunnel, he could vaguely see a wooden sign.    

"This is..."    

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and continued to dismantle the tunnel. Finally, he took out the wooden tablet. It was also a tablet, and the name on it was very clear. It had not been eaten.    

"The eldest young master of the Shu family, Shu Tianzheng."    

"What does this mean?"    

Ye Feng frowned. The surname Shu reminded him of something, but he didn't dare to confirm it.    

After thinking for a while, Ye Feng walked out of the courtyard. The sky was getting dark, and the sun was about to set. It was time for him to meet up with the Crow Spirit.    

Ye Feng returned to the meeting point that the two of them had discussed. Not long after, he saw the Crow Spirit walking towards him with a tablet in his hand.    

"Hmm? You have one too?"    

Miss Crow Spirit walked in front of Ye Feng and looked at the tablet in his hand in surprise.    

"That should be the problem."    

Ye Feng nodded slightly. His gaze fell on the tablet in Miss Ya Ling's hand. On it was written the name of the second young master of the Rat Family, Rat Tianyi.    

"This should be related to that big rat."    

Lady Crow Spirit's eyes twinkled. She had already caught a hint of the truth about this weird village, but the guesses in her mind couldn't be connected.    

"Where did you go?"    

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.    

"It looks like a yamen, but there shouldn't be a yamen in a village. I guess the village chief built it on his own."    

Miss Crow Spirit said.    

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The chief was the biggest official in the village, and he held the same position as the village chief.    

Miss Crow Spirit found a tablet of the Old Ancestor of the Rat Family in the government office that the bailiff had built on his own. She found a tablet in the biggest courtyard of the village. It should have been found by the landlord of the village.    

Thinking about it carefully, although the landlord and the bailiff were not important figures, they were still in cahoots with the government officials to the villagers. The villagers wouldn't be able to resist the combination of these two forces.    

"The two most important figures in the village are brothers..."    

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes. The village was desolate. There was only one giant rat, and the landlord and the chief of the village were both related to the giant rat. This...    

"The giant rat is very likely to be raised by them!"    

Ye Feng's eyes turned serious as he looked at Miss Crow Spirit.    

"I have the same guess, but it's not important."    

Lady Crow Spirit shook her head. "Even if the Greater Rat is really raised by the Guardian and the Landlord brothers, so what? This news is of no help to us."    

"The most important thing is to think carefully about how to deal with this giant rat. If we don't kill it, we'll probably be trapped in this secret realm forever."    

Ye Feng couldn't help but remain silent when he heard this. Miss Crow Spirit was right. What was important wasn't the origin of the giant rat, but how to kill it.    

"But is it really useless to know this information?"    

Ye Feng's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Miss Crow Spirit seriously and asked, "Do you know what the landlord and the bailiff look like?"    

"I only saw the memorial tablet. This village is desolate and uninhabited. Who knows what they look like?"    

Miss Crow Spirit said with a frown. She didn't understand why Ye Feng would ask such a question.    

"Let me look for it. If I can find it, it might be of some use."    

Ye Feng was excited. He turned around and walked in the direction of the landlord's house.
