Chapter 159: Chapter 119 Turns Out We Are All Snitches【5K】_3

"Hou Zhongxiao was expelled by both families, forbidden to return home, and eternally exiled from the country."

"With this, many of the family’s secret techniques are known only to him. My father also left a word, that within the Southern Border, anyone who dares to harbor him would be making an enemy of the entire Cen Family Village."

"Although that traitor managed to save his life, he was left with no choice but to head north and leave the Southern Border. My father had long wanted to send someone to kill him, but it was always the Great Clan Chief who intervened to mediate, and that face must be given no matter what."

"The Great Clan Chief believes that although Hou Zhongxiao’s temperament is extremely poor, his cultivation talent is indeed remarkable. Still some time away from his thirties, he is already a Core Formation expert. Naturally, the Great Clan Chief is reluctant to let such talent die in internal strife, especially since he hasn’t committed murder in our territory."

"However... I never imagined that by banishing him, it would instead bring harm to you people of Fengzhou. Indeed, the fault lies with us, and there’s no denying it."

He showed a bitter smile.

Although already expelled, he was after all from our own family, and according to seniority, I still have to call that traitor ’Senior Brother.’ How tragic that is.

Listening and nodding along, it didn’t take him long to respond.

"Are you and your brother here to purge your ranks?"

He blinked.

Somehow, the girl sitting on the decrepit stool suddenly straightened her back, and her voluptuous little chest also moved up and down with her motion, looking rather sizable.

"Of course! My brother and I have come a long way just to purge our ranks, to execute the traitor on the spot! Rest assured, since he is already expelled, we will not face any violent death! We conduct official business officially! Anyone can take his head to our Cen Family for a reward!"

Looking at Cen Yueyue with some suspicion, the woman’s attitude had changed too much.

Just right then, her brawny cousin came running all the way from the north, covering hundreds of meters in just a few seconds to arrive in front of them, the round trip of twenty miles without so much as making him catch his breath.

He went inside again, fetched two patients to continue running to deliver them, and then happened to overhear the conversation between his cousin and Jiang Feng.

He looked puzzled.

"Cousin, didn’t you say that you came because the Central Plains are more fun? You also said you wanted to shop in Shuangfeng City, buy some nice clothes to take back. And then we just happened to encounter such a misfortune, still not knowing what to report to the Clan Leader."

...

The girl didn’t answer, just looked emotionlessly at her cousin.

For a moment, Cen Zhuangzhuang just felt a chill down his spine, and a sudden coldness crept over his head, as if the person looking at him was not his cousin, but his long-deceased great-grandma.

Without another word, he immediately ran out carrying the patients, not daring to look back.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

"Why doesn’t he use Sword Flight? Sword flight is less troublesome, isn’t it?"

Someone took the initiative to break the silence.

Cen Yueyue’s pretty face also bore a hint of embarrassment, naturally segueing into the topic initiated by Jiang Feng.

"Do you think everyone has such a Guardian talent like you? How many people have reached Foundation Establishment and still can’t learn Guardian? Your control of Spiritual Energy is absolutely gifted, ranking among the top few in your age group that I know."

"My cousin has decent talent, but he follows the path of Body Cultivation, possessing tremendous advantage in physical strength, but somewhat lacking in the control of Spiritual Energy and Gu Technique."

"Rather than flying unsteadily on a sword, it’s better to carry them candidly. Otherwise, if he were to fall, he himself would be fine, but those injured might lose half their lives."

She shook her head, her face showing a look of frustration, clearly dissatisfied with her cousin.

Being from the Southern Border Witch Clan, one does not practice Gu Technique, nor does one know spells, just swinging fists to fight, what’s the point of that.

"Ahem, so how do you and your brother plan to handle the Xu Huoyao incident?"

The girl pouted her lips, her mood slightly dampened at her travel being interrupted, but after all, she was a member of the family, and she had to provide an explanation both emotionally and rationally.

"Anyway, this is how it turned out. We brother and sister came out to have fun and didn’t expect to encounter the traitor committing crimes. We planned to enjoy our trip and then return home, but considering the current situation..."

"If we don’t give Fengzhou an explanation, I’m afraid I won’t have the face to go back. Since we bumped into this, my brother and I must kill him before we leave."

"I had used Gu near He Family Village before because I sensed a familiar aura, but at that time, I didn’t know he had spread the Gu Poison. Still, I left some traces, so after that traitor reached the He Family Village, he didn’t dare to continue northward. Speaking of which..."

Mentioning this, Cen Yueyue seemed to recall something, covered her skirt with her palm as she stood up, then took steps to fetch a ladle of water, and then in front of the young man.

Pah!

A spit into the mixture and then it dispersed instantly. As Jiang Feng watched in utter astonishment, the girl wobbled a few times and actually handed the ladle over to the boy.

"Drink it."

"Ha? No way, are you kidding me? You you..."

The guy almost jumped up.

Sure, I’m a bit of a freak, but I’m not about to drink someone’s saliva!

Seeing Jiang Feng’s expression, Cen Yueyue also helplessly pinched the bridge of her nose, and then she pinched a spell with her left hand, chanting a series of elusive sounds.

Sssssh—

The sound was drawn out long.

But the boy standing opposite trembled!

The focus in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he acted as though he was possessed, but Jiang Feng’s consciousness was not blurred at this moment; on the contrary, it was exceptionally clear, yet his body was uncontrollable.

He just watched as his own arm lifted up, regardless of how he tried to control his will and his body, his hand still raised.

Then swung down with force!

Slap—

A sting on the cheek, and the out-of-focus eyes instantly regained clarity!

In this state of clear consciousness but an uncontrollable body, he gently slapped himself, killing the mosquito on his face.

He looked at his own palm with an incredulous gaze, as if seeing a ghost, then turned that same look towards the evil woman in front of him!

"You..."

"You didn’t think you’d be immune, did you."

She pointed at the young man’s shoulder.

Although the wound had stopped bleeding, it was still stained red.

Previously, Jiang Feng didn’t have much concept of Gu techniques, but this moment made his hair stand on end, and without hesitation, he took the ladle from the girl’s hand, though his expression showed a moment of hesitation.

It wasn’t that he suspected her intentions.

A Core Formation Stage eating their fill and having nothing better to do than to use this thing to deal with a Qi Refinement?

Rather...

"Can I use that talisman paper water from before to induce vomiting?"

He asked timidly.

"Sure."

Cen Yueyue just nodded, sat back down in the chair, propped her chin with one hand, and adopted an indifferent expression.

"However, I have been taking various Gu Worm Herb Medicine since young, immune to all poisons. Drinking this ladle of water won’t make you like me, but at least, it’ll prevent you from being chewed on by them and contracting Xu Huoyao..."

Gurgle—

He drank it all up before she could finish speaking.

A dog’s life is precious.

But just as the young man swallowed the water, a very tragic wail came from the distance, resembling the cry of a bird.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a roar from a young boy, fierce like a tiger.

"Roar!"
