Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 674 653: Whoever Wins Qualifies to Go to Thunder Mountain!

Mr. Miao's face was full of anger. If Cuo Damu hadn't intervened, he would have taken the village head position, but now, with Cuo Damu's sudden interference, it was clearly impossible.

In the aspect of gu insects, probably no one in the entire Taijiang Village could contend with Cuo Damu.

"Elder, is it possible that what we've done has been discovered by him?"

Miao Wei said on the side.

"It's possible," Mr. Miao said in a deep voice, "Miao Wei, later you go to Zemu Village and invite them to come over tomorrow morning."

"Elder, this is..."

Miao Wei was taken aback.

"With Cuo Damu's intervention, I have no chance of winning. He must have known about what we've been doing for a long time, or that old guy has suspected us since the time we made a move on the village head."

Mr. Miao's face was extremely grim, with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Since that's the case, we might as well tear off the facade tomorrow!"

...

After checking Wu Tian's injuries, Ren Feng and Liang Keqing also returned to the courtyard.

"Dad, something big happened today."

Liang Keqing, upon seeing Liang Hongkuan, immediately went over joyfully.

"You little girl, be more steady in doing things, don't be so impetuous," Liang Hongkuan said with a smile, "Go ahead, what happened?"

"Mr. Miao and Mr. Wu had a public contest, right in the village square," Liang Keqing recounted today's events in detail.

"A contest is a contest. Since the Cuo Damu Witch Doctor intervened, it's clear that Mr. Wu won't win. But why did the Cuo Damu Witch Doctor intervene suddenly?"

"I asked, and the Cuo Damu Witch Doctor found gu insects on us, all secretly planted by someone, so today in the forest we even encountered tigers and venomous snakes." Liang Keqing's face turned slightly pale at the memory of those venomous snakes.

"Oh?"

Liang Hongkuan's face immediately sank.

"Keqing, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it was Ren Feng who saved me at the time. Oh, Dad, Ren Feng is skilled in martial arts." Liang Keqing turned to look at Ren Feng again.

"Alright, alright, you go inside."

Once Liang Keqing went into the house, Liang Hongkuan walked up to Ren Feng and asked with a smile, "Thank you this time."

"You're welcome," Ren Feng replied with a smile, "Mr. Liang, may I ask how long it will be before I can qualify for Thunder Mountain?"

"You've only been here two days, don't be anxious," Liang Hongkuan comforted, "I reckon the village head position will be decided tomorrow, and then Mr. Wu will take people to other villages, challenge the other villages, and if he wins them all, he can become the religious leader."

Upon hearing Liang Hongkuan say this, Ren Feng suddenly had a foreboding feeling.

"Mr. Liang, how long does this process take?"

"If all goes well, at least three months."

Ren Feng: "..."

In Miaojiang, many things were beyond his control, for instance, the so-called religious leader nomination qualification.

He could only wait.

...

The next day.

Ren Feng also got up early and went to the square with Liang Keqing.

There were already many people waiting there, almost the entire village was present, men and women, young and old, all standing around.

Besides, unlike yesterday, there were three other elders in the square as witnesses, whoever between Mr. Wu and Mr. Miao won would become the new village head of Taijiang Village.

Mr. Wu was already standing there with his people, but Mr. Miao had yet to arrive.

Doudou stood beside Wu Meng, curiously looking around, holding that clay pot.

As long as the gu insects in this clay pot were present, they wouldn't lose to Mr. Miao in the gu insect competition.

Moreover, the cultivation of gu insects is calculated in years, even if Mr. Miao knew the traits and weaknesses of this gu insect, there was no way to come up with a counter plan.

Mr. Miao couldn't possibly produce a gu insect overnight.

"Why isn't Mr. Miao here yet?"

After waiting for more than an hour, the young Miao Race people around were puzzled.

"Yeah, this is almost past the time limit."

"Could it be that Mr. Miao is scared?"

"Impossible, Mr. Miao's character would never be scared; he must have regretted it."

Everyone was discussing, but just then, some sharp-eyed individuals noticed Mr. Miao's arrival.

"Mr. Miao is here!"

Someone shouted, and suddenly, everyone's eyes turned towards the entrance of the square, where they saw Mr. Miao leading the same group from yesterday walking in.

When Mr. Miao reached the center, he sneered coldly, "Mr. Wu."

"Two out of three wins, only one round left, to prevent you from reneging, I specially invited the other elders," Mr. Wu said indifferently.

At the same time, Doudou stepped forward with the clay pot, "Mr. Miao, are you ready for the contest?"

Mr. Miao snorted and turned back to Wu Kaiyuan.

"Mr. Wu, let's not talk about the contest first; let's discuss something else."

"Discuss what?"

Mr. Wu frowned, sensing that Mr. Miao seemed a bit off.

"Naturally, about which village can become the religious leader!"

The one responding to Wu Kaiyuan wasn't Mr. Miao, but another voice!

This voice was extremely sharp and filled with arrogance, resonating instantly throughout the entire square!

Everyone turned to look and saw another group of people walking towards the square entrance.

"Zemu Village people!"

Many Taijiang Village youths' faces changed.

"Why did they suddenly come?"

Mr. Wu frowned, looking at the group; Zemu Village was currently the most powerful Miao Village in their branch and had been eyeing the religious leader position for a long time.

"Yamaki Ryo, what are you doing in our Taijiang Village?"

Mr. Wu stepped forward.

In the crowd, Ren Feng also observed the people of Zemu Village, led by a man with his hair braided and wearing strange animal patterned clothes.

Besides, behind him was a group of people, both male and female, with cold expressions, all dressed in Miao Race clothing, but a few exceptions.

Ren Feng's gaze locked on one, a person wearing a bamboo hat with a face concealed, and carrying a sword on his back.

This person, unlike the others, didn't seem to be Miao.

"Why am I here? You tell me why I'm here." Yamaki Ryo sneered, slowly circling Mr. Wu, "Back then, you dismissed my contest invitation saying you didn't have a village head. Today, learning that Taijiang Village is choosing a village head, to prevent you from using similar excuses, I had to come personally."

That instant, Mr. Wu and others' faces changed.

How did they get the news?

Immediately, Mr. Wu's eyes gleamed with cold light, looking at Mr. Miao.

"Let's not fight; our religious branch has only nine Miao Villages in total, the fewest among the twelve branches. Apart from Taijiang Village, the other seven Miao Villages have been dealt with by me, leaving only you."

Yamaki Ryo held a sheepskin scroll, which was spread open with signatures from the other Miao Village leaders.

"Between us, whoever wins becomes the religious leader and qualifies to go to Thunder Mountain!"

As Yamaki Ryo finished, Ren Feng's eyes lit up!
