Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 692 671: What on Earth Is Going On!

"Ren Feng, we're here."

Ren Feng smiled slightly and walked over.

Mr. Wu chuckled, and so did Wu Meng.

Ren Feng exhaled: "How long have you all been waiting?"

"About a day." Liang Keqing visibly relaxed, "I was worried you wouldn't make it out."

At the same time, Elder Zhuyang and the previous eleven elders also came over.

"Young man, did you see the Great Witch?"

"I did." Ren Feng nodded.

"Did he say anything?"

"No." Ren Feng replied, "The Great Witch seemed normal, though he asked me for a favor but didn't specify what, just said he'd contact me when the time comes."

Elder Zhuyang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as the Great Witch is fine."

"Alright, young man, we should get going as well." Mr. Wu stroked his beard, "We need to hurry back to the village."

Ren Feng nodded, and Mr. Wu once again saluted Elder Zhuyang and the others, with other young people from the ancient village also present.

Elder Zhuyang nodded: "Safe travels."

"Alright, let's go." Liang Keqing said with a smile, "I'm starting to miss my dad."

The group led by Ren Feng descended the mountain. As they passed through the stone gate, Ren Feng distinctly felt as if he was passing through a barrier, and that strange sensation appeared once again.

At that moment, Ren Feng had a sudden realization. He looked back at the entire Thunder Mountain.

"I didn't expect that the entire Thunder Mountain is a barrier, with small barriers inside the big one. I was wondering why it felt abnormal and eerie before." Ren Feng took a deep breath in his heart, "The Great Witch's power is somewhat unfathomable."

Liang Keqing was also very happy: "Ren Feng, did you get what you needed?"

"I did." Ren Feng smiled, "This time my illness has successfully passed, and I must thank you. Without you, I might not have been able to enter Thunder Mountain at all."

If it weren't for the help of Mr. Wu and the others, there was no way Ren Feng could have broken in.

"Young man, you've helped our Taijiang Village too." Mr. Wu said with a smile.

"Yes, Ren Feng, as long as you're okay." Liang Keqing's face was full of joy.

Everyone headed back to Taijiang Village, but just then, they saw a figure rushing towards them from the distance in a panic.

"Isn't that Wu Yong?"

Wu Meng, sharp-eyed, instantly recognized the person.

"Something's wrong, something's terribly wrong."

Wu Yong was gasping for breath, coughing violently, looking overwhelmed with panic as he rode a horse.

"What's going on?"

"The village, a group of people came to the village, Mr. Liang, it's dangerous."

Wu Yong finished speaking breathlessly.

"What?" Liang Keqing's eyes widened, her beautiful eyes seemingly in disbelief.

Ren Feng immediately furrowed his brow, "Let's go, we need to hurry back!"

…

The next morning, in Taijiang Village.

Liang Hongkuan's body had already been brought back and was properly arranged in the house.

The finest coffin was ready, but since Mr. Wu hadn't returned yet, they were reluctant to make decisions on their own.

Liang Hongkuan had been in Taijiang Village for over twenty years, during which almost every Miao person knew him. Moreover, Liang Hongkuan was a kind-hearted person, and his prestige was as high as Cuo Damu Witch Doctor and Mr. Wu, earning him much respect.

Therefore, when Mr. Wu and Mr. Miao were vying for the village chief position, even though there were tensions among the Miao people, none showed any disrespect toward Liang Hongkuan.

Liang Hongkuan was a good man.

Ren Feng and the others had rushed back anxiously. Throughout the journey, Liang Keqing was extremely anxious, fearing something might have happened to Liang Hongkuan. She didn't rest last night, traveling all night to return to Taijiang Village as soon as possible.

Unable to bear the jostling, Mr. Wu had Wu Meng and others accompany him, planning to travel the next day. Meanwhile, Ren Feng and Liang Keqing headed back first.

Arriving at the village, Liang Keqing dismounted and hurriedly went to her house.

"Dad, Dad!"

Liang Keqing called out worriedly. She didn't believe what Wu Yong had said yesterday; she hoped her father was still as before, practicing martial arts in the yard when she got home.

But this time, she was stunned to see a crowd gathered outside her yard, all of them Miao villagers from Taijiang, standing silently with their heads hung low, seemingly in mourning.

The Miao villagers, hearing the voice, looked up to see Liang Keqing standing there in shock.

Liang Keqing was a little disbelieving, feeling an increasingly ominous cloud over her heart.

She pushed through the crowd, rushing into the yard, where she saw a solemn sacrificial ritual and a spirit hall already set up, with a coffin placed at the center.

The coffin was uncovered, and on either side of the yard stood many Miao people. Besides Liang Hongkuan's coffin, there were also the coffins of several Miao people who had died earlier, though they were set aside.

Liang Keqing seemed to be in a daze, stumbling toward the coffin, unable to believe her father was gone just like that.

Doudou stood beside, crying softly. Seeing Liang Keqing arrive, she immediately wiped her tears away.

As Liang Keqing approached the coffin, she took a deep breath. In one look, she seemed thunderstruck, staggering backward a few steps.

"No, no, this isn't real, I don't believe it, no!"

Liang Keqing was in a panic; she checked again, seeming to freeze in place, almost as if she went mad.

Ren Feng stood behind, feeling a sinking heart, stepped to the coffin, and saw Liang Hongkuan lying quietly inside.

Yet his left arm was missing, and his body was covered in wounds.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Feng's heart was filled with rage. Who would commit such a vile act?

Liang Hongkuan, despite being a master of the Divine Realm, couldn't be killed by ordinary people.

"Big brother." Doudou sobbed from the side.

Ren Feng looked at Doudou, crouching down.

"Grandpa Liang had something he wanted me to tell you." Doudou sobbed, "He said, take good care of Sister Keqing."

"Doudou, what happened? How did Mr. Liang die?" Ren Feng asked.

"I don't know, someone shouted Grandpa Liang's name and then killed other people."

Ren Feng looked at the coffins nearby, struggling to control his killing intent.

Truthfully, Liang Hongkuan was indeed a good person. When Ren Feng met him, he even helped him figure things out and introduced him to the situation of Miaojiang. Moreover, back when he competed against Zemu Miao Village, if it weren't for Mr. Liang, he would have been dead.

He saved him.

For such a good man to die so tragically, his killing intent felt as if it was ready to burst out.

"Tell me, what exactly happened!"

Ren Feng turned around, looking at the Miao people, shouting!
