Chapter 667 646: Conspiracy in the Village

"Then how do I get to Thunder Mountain?"

Ren Feng asked urgently.

"You can't go," Cuo Damu said blandly. "Even people from the village have a hard time getting to Thunder Mountain, let alone you, an outsider. You have no chance."

Ren Feng's heart sank a little. Knowing there was a glimmer of hope and a way out, only to be told that this way out was a dead end?

"If there's no chance, I'll make one!" Ren Feng said resolutely.

Cuo Damu sighed slightly, "You may leave now; I can't help you any further."

He bowed again to Cuo Damu and then walked outside.

Upon stepping out the door, Ren Feng felt conflicted inside. It seemed he had to go to Thunder Mountain.

"How did it go?" Liang Keqing approached.

Ren Feng's expression returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "Elder Cuo Damu has no way to treat my ailment either. He said that to receive treatment, I must go to Thunder Mountain. I plan to visit Thunder Mountain at that time."

"Thunder Mountain?"

Liang Keqing was a little surprised and then shook her head. "The hope is too slim. You can't even get close to Thunder Mountain, let alone go up it. Without the approval of the ancient village on Thunder Mountain, there's simply no way."

"Even if the hope is slim, I must try," Ren Feng stated resolutely.

"Ren Feng, don't be impulsive. Do you know the danger of Thunder Mountain?" Liang Keqing quickly said, "In Miaojiang, Thunder Mountain is considered a holy mountain, the sacred place in the heart of all Miao Race people. If you dare to sneak into Thunder Mountain, you will be hunted by all Miao Race people in Miaojiang!"

Ren Feng fell silent.

"Moreover, Thunder Mountain is not as easy as you think. It is more dangerous than the forest before; it is the safest yet most dangerous place in all of Miaojiang."

Liang Keqing spoke earnestly.

Ren Feng's heart sank slightly. With Liang Keqing's grave warning, it must be extremely dangerous. Even that previous forest was a treacherous ordeal, even at his peak state, and Thunder Mountain was even more dangerous?

"Don't rush. Let's go back first. Later, I'll discuss it with my dad to think of a solution."

"Okay."

Ren Feng nodded, and Doudou ran over from the side. "Sister Keqing, are you leaving with your boyfriend?"

Liang Keqing chuckled lightly and patted Doudou. "Doudou, he's not my boyfriend."

"That's not true; he admitted it himself. He said he's your boyfriend. Sister Keqing, when are you two getting married and moving in together?"

Looking into Doudou's expectant eyes, Liang Keqing glanced at Ren Feng. "Did you teach him to say that?"

"Heavens above, I didn't teach him anything," Ren Feng quickly replied.

"Well, Doudou, that's something that depends on fate. When I get married, I'll invite you to the wedding, okay?"

"Okay," Doudou said happily.

Ren Feng and Liang Keqing left, and as they were leaving, Ren Feng suddenly frowned, feeling as if someone was spying on him from behind.

He abruptly turned around, but saw nothing. Behind him, except for the wooden house, it was empty, with not a soul in sight.

Strange, Ren Feng frowned. His instincts weren't wrong; someone was definitely spying on him.

As he turned his head, the feeling vanished.

"Alright, this is your room. Don't worry; I'll go ask my dad. If he doesn't know, I'll ask the other elders in the village for you."

"Okay, thank you," Ren Feng said with a smile.

"It's getting late. Rest well. The village isn't like outside; there's no electricity."

"Okay."

Ren Feng entered the room but didn't hurry to sleep. He frowned in thought; someone was definitely tracking him earlier. His instincts could not be wrong.

After pondering for a moment, to be safe, Ren Feng allocated a part of his True Qi, enveloping his body before he felt safe to sleep.

In the deep of night, outside was pitch black, with nothing visible except the bright moon. Suddenly, a tiny Gu insect flew in through the gap in the wooden window, heading toward Ren Feng.

This Gu insect was very small, extremely ugly, even smaller than a pinky nail. As it landed on Ren Feng's body, suddenly, Ren Feng opened his eyes.

With a wave of his right hand, the small portion of True Qi directly enveloped the Gu insect.

"Someone wants to cast a Gu on me?"

Ren Feng's eyes flickered with a cold light as he looked at the Gu insect, his face icy.

"Who wants to harm me?"

Ren Feng frowned as he pondered. Earlier, he had sensed someone spying on him, but he hadn't expected it to be a Gu insect doing the spying!

More insidiously, they waited until deep into the night when he was sound asleep to try to cast a Gu on him. Such a method was indeed vicious.

The one who can cast a Gu must be someone from the Miao Village. Liang Keqing can be excluded, but the others are all suspects.

Ren Feng quickly ran through the people he had encountered and immediately targeted Miao Wei as the most likely person.

With a thought, he was about to kill the Gu insect, but Ren Feng stopped, realizing that killing the Gu outright would alert the other party.

After thinking for a moment, he directly sealed the Gu insect in a corner, rendering it immobile.

Then, Ren Feng lay down again to sleep.

Meanwhile, in a wooden house somewhere in the village, a man hidden in darkness stood inside.

"A few years ago, I poisoned the ceremonial festival, but to my surprise, the village chief, that old bastard, didn't die but instead fell into a deep sleep. If he wakes up, he'll surely suspect I did it."

The man frowned, pacing back and forth inside the house.

"I initially wanted to find another opportunity to act, but Cuo Damu, that old ghost, seems to have noticed and arranged many Gu insects at the chief's house, making it difficult to act. Plus, these years, I haven't taken the village chief's position yet, damn Mr. Wu."

He slammed the table with force, and at this moment, a young man entered.

"Elder."

Miao Wei entered and spoke respectfully.

"Did you do what I asked you to do?"

"Done. The man brought by Keqing has already been cast with a Gu."

"Good. This is a critical moment. There can't be any changes. We've been planning for so long; we must seize the village chief's position. Also, there's another task I need you to do."

The man said flatly, "Come closer."

Miao Wei leaned in, and upon hearing the other party's words, his expression immediately changed.

"I can't do it."

"To achieve great things, one can't be limited by small matters. Miao Wei, I'm not asking you to kill her. Liang Keqing is a card to restrain the Wu Sect, and this must be done!"

"I..."

"Don't be hesitant. Just save her later and win her favor."

Miao Wei was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, "Yes."

"Also, send someone to poison the opposite Gu insects. Tomorrow, we will proceed with the plan directly."

"Yes."
