Opposite them stood a group of people dressed in what appeared to be minority ethnic attire!
Ling Feng could sense the aura of Gu worms on these individuals.
Clearly, these people practiced the art of Witchcraft and Gu.
However, after only a brief moment of perception, Ling Feng realized that these people had been practicing Witchcraft and Gu for a very long time!
This was obviously an inherited practice, which meant these people were certainly not taught these methods by Zu Shen recently.
So, how did they get connected with Zu Shen?
There had to be something fishy going on.
Ling Feng was utterly indifferent to the lives of some enemies, but he was by no means someone who would kill innocent people.
These people were clearly fighting to protect their tribesmen and their homes.
Ling Feng absolutely did not want to position himself as an aggressor.
Therefore, Ling Feng stopped, hoping that the group opposite them would also cease their actions!
However, these people were clearly not easily deterred. Instead, they had already unleashed their Gu worms to attack!
Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.
With a raise of her hand, Ji Yunyue conjured snowflakes, which enveloped more than half of the tribal members.
Such a feat would undoubtedly consume a great deal of energy!
Ji Yunyue's complexion immediately turned pale.
But since Ling Feng did not wish to kill, this became the only thing Ji Yunyue could do.
However, what happened next made Ji Yunyue's complexion even paler than paper.
The group of Witchcraft and Gu practitioners opposite them were completely unaffected by the illusionary witchcraft!
"No, they did falter for a moment!"
Ji Yunyue exclaimed, as if unwilling to admit her failure!
But if Ji Yunyue could observe such details, would Ling Feng overlook them?
Clearly, that was impossible!
Ling Feng immediately took a step forward!
*Crack!*
The ground suddenly cracked open, with fissures rapidly spreading, as if an earthquake had struck.
The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and fiery lava erupted from beneath the ground!
The group charging forward was immediately startled and retreated, and the Gu worms they had unleashed were completely annihilated by the engulfing lava!
Ji Yunyue's beautiful eyes widened: "So my illusionary witchcraft skills were not good enough..."
This fact made it easier for Ji Yunyue to accept.
Suddenly, Ji Yunyue thought of the ordinary people from before. It seemed they were also not deceived by her. Those people were not practitioners of Witchcraft and Gu, so how did they manage it?
Had she missed something?
Had Ling Feng captured everything she hadn't noticed?
Therefore, Ling Feng was able to easily control these people's minds?
As the group retreated frantically, more people rushed out from the bamboo houses behind them.
The leader was the Left Guardian who had worn a bamboo hat before!
"Idiots, that's illusionary witchcraft! Quickly, fully activate your Heart-Cleansing Gu!"
With the Left Guardian's furious roar!
Those who were panicking and dodging suddenly regained some clarity in their eyes. They put something into their mouths, while some sniffed small bottles they held under their noses!
The next moment, the scenes before their eyes began to distort and warp, and faintly, they saw the true nature of the illusionary witchcraft.
They were merely some fiery red spots!
However, the density of these spots was truly immense. Just a glance or two was enough to make them feel the terrifying extent of these things!
At this moment, Ling Feng had already recalled the Gu worms before him.
He had already made everyone on the other side stop.
For Ling Feng, this had already achieved his objective!
Then, Ling Feng, with the two people behind him, approached the crowd step by step!
"Heart-Cleansing Gu? Merely simple Heart-Cleansing Gu wouldn't allow someone to maintain their senses and be unafraid of illusionary witchcraft! How did you achieve this? Also, who taught you your Witchcraft and Gu?"
As the Saintess of the Witch God Hall, Ji Yunyue could not accept the leakage of Witchcraft and Gu techniques. She questioned everyone!
The group opposite looked at Ji Yunyue with hostility!
However, they were all very wary of Ling Feng, so very few of them spoke, or even made a sound, merely maintaining a state of full alert.
The leading Left Guardian also walked out step by step.
He stared at Ling Feng with a chilling expression, his single exposed eye still bloodshot and red.
"The inheritance of Witchcraft and Gu is not exclusive to Southern Cloud! Our Chuandu's Witchcraft and Gu inheritance is even more ancient than yours. We simply disdained to emerge and contend with you. With Heart-Cleansing Gu combined with our Heart-Cleansing Incantation, even your most powerful illusionary witchcraft will not affect us!"
The Left Guardian's words carried pride in his inherited abilities!
He even showed some contempt for Ji Yunyue!
Ji Yunyue's pretty face flushed. In the previous sparring, she had indeed been at a slight disadvantage.
However, Ji Yunyue was not convinced at all!
She had not unleashed her full power.
And she would never admit that the Witch God Hall's heritage was inferior to theirs.
Before Ji Yunyue could become furious.
Ling Feng spoke indifferently, "You think your Witchcraft and Gu heritage is very powerful? It's merely some residual remnants of a declining era!"
As Ling Feng's words landed.
Everyone was enraged!
The Left Guardian's face contorted into an extremely ferocious expression, glaring at Ling Feng. It was evident that he was ready to attack at any moment.
Ling Feng, however, wasted no more words!
He spread his arms!
Streams of blood-red light shot out.
The next moment, around all one hundred-plus people, dots of light appeared!
"Ah! It's Blood Killing Gu!"
"No, why does this Blood Killing Gu have fire?!"
"Don't touch that fire, the temperature is too high!"
Shouts of alarm erupted all around, and everyone felt the terrifying power that threatened their lives!
The Left Guardian's single eye widened to its extreme, looking at Ling Feng in disbelief.
Then, his entire body went limp, and he knelt directly before Ling Feng.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered in terror, "How is this possible? How could someone cultivate so many Gu worms? These Blood Killing Gu... how was this achieved?!"
"This is the orthodox inheritance of the Witch God Hall. Your inheritance indeed has its unique aspects, but it is not comparable to the Witch God Hall. If you don't want me to annihilate your entire tribe, then obey me obediently!"
Ling Feng spoke indifferently, his words filled with an overbearing tone.
No matter how indignant these people felt in their hearts, they were powerless to act now.
Because they knew very well that if they made the slightest move, their lives would be completely over!
The Left Guardian looked at Ling Feng, who was approaching step by step, with utter despair. Gritting his teeth, he spoke with extreme venom, "Why?! Must you be so ruthless?!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately knew that there must be some hidden story behind this!
"I am not here to kill!"
