Ji Yunyue's expression was somewhat cold and gloomy.
Four elders, plus a guardian!
This force must be very powerful, so would Ling Feng be alright?
Concern often leads to confusion.
Ji Yunyue's state of mind was actually becoming unstable at this moment.
On the contrary, Ling Yan, standing beside her, said to Ji Yunyue in a deep voice, "Don't worry. If they were truly capable, they wouldn't have fled with people. Xiao Feng will be fine. He'll bring them back shortly!"
Ji Yunyue's mind instantly cleared, and she nodded slightly with a faint smile at Ling Yan.
Seeing Ling Yan regain his composure, Ji Yunyue knew that Ling Yan's mindset had calmed down considerably.
However, the Left Guardian and a group of tribesmen, upon hearing Ling Yan's words, couldn't help but become enraged. This was simply looking down on their tribe!
But this also indicated that Ling Yan had truly hit a nerve.
The reason they chose to evade was because someone had warned them that their strength was insufficient to deal with Ling Feng and his group.
Therefore, they had someone here to block Ling Feng while someone else escorted the Saintess away.
However, they were unwilling to admit such a thing!
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the cliff behind the mountain.
Ling Feng had cornered the six people opposite him to the edge of the cliff!
"You can't escape!"
Ling Feng spoke coldly, his figure having come to a halt, his expression utterly indifferent.
The four people opposite simultaneously twisted their bodies, glaring angrily at Ling Feng, while a young girl behind them was protected by another man.
Each of them looked at Ling Feng as if he were the mortal enemy who had killed their husbands.
Ling Feng shook his head, "I don't want to explain much to you. If you come back with me, I won't make a move!"
The four elders opposite all had flushed faces and roared in anger!
"Hmph, you dream if you think we'll surrender!"
"Don't think we're afraid of you just because we're evading!"
"Come on, make your move!"
...
As the shouts of the crowd erupted, the young girl behind them showed a pained expression and said to the people in front of her, "Four elders, stop fighting. Hand me over! You can't let the tribesmen be buried with me!"
"Saintess, you..."
Someone immediately turned back excitedly.
But before they could say anything, Ling Feng interrupted with a shake of his head, "Firstly, I'm not here to kill anyone. Secondly, I'm here to find someone. Thirdly, I won't take anything from you, so there's no need to evade. I just want to clarify things, and it's now basically confirmed that you've been used!"
As Ling Feng's words landed one by one.
The several people opposite showed stunned expressions.
Clearly, they had not expected Ling Feng to offer such an explanation.
"Then... what are you here for?"
At this moment, the Right Guardian, who was protecting the Saintess, asked.
"Looking for someone, to clarify where the蛊虫 (gu worms) on this girl came from! Have you been to the Northern Territory?!"
Ling Feng, without any preamble, fixed his gaze on the girl and asked word for word.
The girl's beautiful eyes widened slightly, clearly recalling something that made her feel extremely terrified.
She then quickly shook her head repeatedly at Ling Feng, "I, I don't know!"
Ling Feng's brows furrowed slightly; the girl didn't seem to be lying.
Looking at the expressions of the people around them, he immediately noticed their shifting glances and the expressions of uncertainty appearing on their faces!
"It seems this matter is related to you few! Tell me what happened."
Ling Feng approached them step by step. It would take some effort to take them back directly, so it was better to question them here.
If he could get an answer directly, then so be it!
Seeing Ling Feng approach, the expressions of several people became extremely grim.
One of the elders directly launched an attack at Ling Feng, "Why should we tell you!"
A blast of cold air shot towards Ling Feng's face. Ling Feng could clearly see the蛊虫 contained within, but in an instant, they were instantly incinerated by the blood flames surrounding Ling Feng.
Steam billowed out.
The people opposite widened their eyes in horror.
"If you weren't idiots, you should know very well that I can easily kill you. This might also be Zu Shen's objective. He wants me to kill you, or even exterminate your clan! Now, tell me, why did you take this girl to the Northern Territory to see that Zu Shen?!"
Ling Feng continued to press, his tone becoming increasingly forceful, as if he were issuing a command!
The group simultaneously swallowed hard.
They knew very well that Ling Feng had only made a slight move just now, and they understood that such strength was beyond their ability to resist!
Therefore, facing Ling Feng's commanding tone, they seemed to be able to adapt.
"We don't know who this Zu Shen you speak of is!"
"Yes, we were just taking the Saintess to see a doctor. We met a woman. That woman hatched some蛊虫 in the Saintess's body, and the Saintess's illness disappeared!"
Finally, someone told the truth!
Ling Feng's eyes brightened slightly, and then he shook his head coldly at them, "Is that all? Did she say anything else to you? Also, you should remember what she looked like, right?"
One of the elders swallowed hard, then waved his hand, and a mist of water appeared before them!
The color of the mist changed, and soon, a picture appeared before Ling Feng.
It was the appearance of a woman.
Cold eyes, pale complexion, and slightly purplish lips.
Ling Feng naturally recognized this woman's appearance. This person was Ling Feng's sister-in-law, Jiang Ying.
She was also the person they were looking for this time.
However, Jiang Ying's demeanor was completely different now.
"She told us that after saving our Saintess, someone would come to trouble us, saying that the other party was from the Witch God Hall and was very powerful, advising us to be prepared to flee. She also said that if we were desperate, we should go to the Northern Territory to find them!"
The elder who conjured Jiang Ying's image explained word for word.
Ling Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh? Then why didn't you go to the Northern Territory?!"
"We, we also felt that this woman was a bit strange!"
The few exchanged glances and finally uttered this sentence.
Ling Feng nodded slightly, "You should be glad you didn't go. However, you should also regret seeking her out before, because this girl's illness hasn't been cured. The蛊虫 in her body will instead control her consciousness..."
"Heh heh, Ling Feng, we meet again!"
Suddenly, the girl's face turned sinister, and she spoke with a strange voice.
The people around were startled.
The reason this voice was considered strange was that a young girl's mouth should not emit such a sound!
It was a man's voice!
Those beside her couldn't discern it.
But Ling Feng heard it clearly. He stared indifferently into the girl's eyes and said, "Zu Shen, you've gone to such lengths. It shouldn't just be to meet me here, should it?"
