Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 841 - 815: Phoenix Legend

Tangyu smiled: "You can completely rest assured about this. As long as you honestly stay by our side and don’t play any tricks, I guarantee that no one will be able to touch you. Moreover, as long as you cooperate with us properly, benefits will definitely be given to you. You should have seen my abilities; even a little favor from me will yield endless benefits for you."

The goblin nodded eagerly, full of anticipation: "Okay, I guarantee I’ll cooperate, just tell me how."

With the goblin completely subdued, Tangyu asked, "We want to know about some strange phenomena and rumors regarding Liangshan. I heard that you’ve seen some strange occurrences in Liangshan, and your family has also witnessed them. Tell me about these in detail."

The goblin’s eyes gleamed with curiosity: "Hero, is it possible that there is a great treasure hidden in Liangshan? Are you all here to hunt for treasure? I’ve seen plenty of treasure-hunting movies on TV. Could it really be like that?"

This goblin is indeed clever.

Tangyu glanced at him and said: "You don’t need to know these details; knowing too much won’t benefit you. Don’t call me ’hero’; my name is Tangyu."

"Oh, Mister Tang, alright, I won’t ask anymore. Yes, Liangshan does have many rumors and myths. Since my ancestors’ times, there have been numerous strange occurrences witnessed in Liangshan, leaving behind many legends. The most credible one to me is the Phoenix legend." The goblin dared not ask further.

Tangyu’s heart stirred: "Phoenix legend?"

"Yes, the Phoenix legend. This was discovered by one of my ancestors a thousand years ago. The legend says that my ancestor went hunting in the mountains and, due to some reasons, couldn’t return home till late. On a stormy night, he saw a phoenix soaring from a mountain and ascending into the heavens. When my ancestor returned to the village, he told everyone about it, and the village men went to inspect but found nothing unusual."

"Since then, our ancestor named that peak Phoenix Mountain."

"Oh, such a legend indeed! Heaven and earth showing unusual phenomena," Tangyu was somewhat surprised. If this legend is true, it should be related to the Holy Land ruins.

The goblin nodded and continued: "Later on, other ancestors also witnessed the phenomenon of the phoenix ascending to the sky. The Phoenix legend spread widely in our village. When I was seven, I too witnessed the phoenix ascending while hiding in the deep mountains after being chased by my mother for mischief, on a stormy night."

Tangyu felt a moment of joy; if that’s the case, it must be related to the Holy Land ruins. This is an important clue: "Do you know where Phoenix Mountain is? Can you take us there tomorrow?"

The goblin shook his head, looking troubled: "To be honest, I’m not sure. Phoenix Mountain was named a thousand years ago, and it’s hard to pinpoint the exact peak now. The mountain range stretches over hundreds of miles, and it’s difficult to distinguish one from another. Though I have seen it, I was just seven, and I only remember the phoenix ascending, not the exact location."

Tangyu frowned slightly, seeing the goblin was not lying: "Then what about the approximate location?"

"I can’t remember exactly, but I can give you a rough range. It’s about three to four miles behind our village, with that area as the center, within a radius of two to three miles. There are dozens of peaks there, and it’s definitely one of them." The goblin said.

Among dozens of peaks, the range is relatively small. Tangyu nodded: "Alright, we’ll have to go and search. Any other legends or stories? Tell us everything you know."

The goblin nodded and shared more rumors he had heard.

Listening to these tales, Tangyu couldn’t help but laugh, as some were obviously too far-fetched.

The Phoenix legend remained the most credible among them.

"Let’s go back, we’ll head there tomorrow morning," Tangyu said.

Just then, three figures walked over—it was Liang Youshan and his companions. Their gazes swept over the goblin. The goblin, seeing them, couldn’t help but cautiously scrutinize them.

"Boss, did you find anything?" Liang Youshan asked.

Tangyu nodded: "We found something. Let’s go back and discuss."

Thus, the group returned to the villa, and Tangyu asked Hu Yaomei to notify Sister Qian Shanxue and her companions to come back.

When Tangyu’s group returned to the villa, Qian Shanxue and her companions had already arrived.

The goblin, upon seeing Qian Shanxue and her companions, immediately froze, staring at them with a dazed look, drooling: "Immortal, fairy, am I dreaming?"

Liang Youshan nudged the goblin, but he remained dazed until the second push jolted him awake.

"Keep staring, and you might lose your eyeballs," Liang Youshan muttered discontentedly. To him, Qian Shanxue was absolutely a goddess.

Seeing a lecherous glance at his goddess made Liang Youshan very uncomfortable.

The goblin, upon Liang Youshan’s rebuke, felt a surge of fear. As he sneaked another glance at Qian Shanxue, though she was as beautiful as a celestial being, she exuded an aura of superiority, not permitting any disrespect.

The goblin was baffled and terrified by this group. Who were they really? How could each of them be so formidable?

Are they really State Security Bureau agents? Like the outstanding agents depicted in TV shows?

Although he still had some doubts in his mind, the goblin at this moment could only choose to acknowledge it.

"Tangyu, what’s the situation?" Qian Shanxue asked.

Tangyu explained the details of the Phoenix legend. After listening, Qian Shanxue also thought for a while and then said, "Considering this, it is indeed very possible. Anyway, this is currently the most important clue we’ve discovered. Tomorrow morning, let’s go there and take a look."

"Yes, I think so too." Tangyu nodded.

Qian Shanxue waved his hand and said, "Since that’s the case, everyone should get some rest early."

------

On the other side of Liangshan County, inside a luxurious European-style villa, the people of Liangshan County basically knew that this villa, spanning more than two thousand square meters, was the residence of the local kingpin.

Inside the villa, several figures were gathered there.

The man at the center, being surrounded with reverence by everyone else, appeared to be just over thirty years old. He wore a long red robe, which was quite unusual in appearance. He was also exceptionally handsome. However, his eyes, as bright as stars yet as sharp as steel blades, seemed to always flash with a cold light that made anyone who looked at them feel chilled and frightened.

The surrounding people all looked at the man with respect and did not dare to act rashly.

"How’s the progress?" The man in the red robe asked casually, though his voice carried supreme authority and even a hint of severity.

"Report to Left Protector, we’ve collected a lot of information. Among them, there is a Phoenix legend that I think requires special attention," a man immediately replied respectfully.

The man in the red robe asked, "Phoenix legend? Do we know the specific location? Has anyone been sent to investigate it?"

The man immediately shook his head and said, "I haven’t had a chance to take people to investigate, and the exact location hasn’t been determined. However, we do know the general area."

"Oh, then tell me the detailed information about this Phoenix legend," the Left Protector said.

The man immediately nodded and explained the details.

After hearing everything, the Left Protector frowned slightly: "Considering this, it is indeed possible. Tomorrow, take some people to investigate. If anything comes up, notify me. This time, we are investigating this matter under the command of the King of Yingshan who takes it very seriously, so we must not slack off and must quickly figure things out."

"Yes." The man immediately accepted the order.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Tangyu and his team set off.

The goblin’s village was called Xujiaphan, about twenty miles from Liangshan County, surrounded by mountains. The village was not large, with only a few dozen households, and there were no other villages around.

"Mr. Tang, the car can only go as far as the village. I’m not familiar with the roads in our back mountains. Should I let the elderly from the village lead the way?" the goblin asked.

Tangyu shook his head: "No need, you lead the way. The mountain road is difficult, and having an elderly person with us would be inconvenient."

"Oh, okay, then I will ask for directions," the goblin said, knowing that it was just Tangyu’s excuse. Since the other party was unwilling, he didn’t dare to say more.

The car quickly entered the village, immediately attracting a large crowd of villagers to watch.

The goblin got out of the car and greeted everyone. It seemed that his reputation was not good, and he wasn’t very well received in the village.

After asking for directions, the goblin led Tangyu and his team up the mountain.

After walking for over half an hour on the mountain road, the goblin was panting heavily and looked at Tangyu and his team with a puzzled expression: "You’re really a bunch of oddballs, dressed like city people, yet so agile climbing mountains. We’ve walked for over half an hour and you’re not tired at all, not even out of breath. Compared to you, I feel ashamed."

Liang Youshan curled his lips and said, "This is nothing. We could walk for a day and night without any problem. Don’t you know we’re special agents? Naturally, we’re all very skilled."

The goblin nodded with a face full of admiration: "Impressive, indeed impressive."

After resting for a while, the goblin pointed to a range of mountains ahead and said: "Here it is, these are the mountains. We have dozens of peaks here. The exact one, you’ll have to find yourselves."

Tangyu looked at Qian Shanxue, who surveyed the area and said, "Let’s split up. The area is only two or three miles wide, it should be easy to search. Tangyu, you take the goblin, and the others will search individually. Be thorough and don’t miss any clue."
