"Yes, those secret techniques are indeed for certain individuals to observe, but these individuals don't seem to be reacting much!"
Ling Feng's brows furrowed slightly.
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall's eyes lit up, and he nodded at Ling Feng, saying, "I understand. This means they might have already witnessed these secret techniques, or even more powerful witchcraft and蛊术 (gu techniques)!"
Ling Feng nodded, "Indeed, that's the only possibility. However, the secret techniques of the Witch God Hall cannot be leaked. Even if they were leaked, they couldn't possibly reach the level of the methods I demonstrated yesterday!"
"Therefore, the only remaining possibility is that another force has also mastered powerful witchcraft and蛊术!"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall was initially uncertain about his idea, but after discussing it with Ling Feng, he could only accept this fact!
Even though it was a fact he absolutely did not want to accept!
But there was no other way, the facts were laid out before them!
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "That's right. I've already had people investigate. Although these people are well-hidden, some clues have emerged!"
"Really? Are there any leads?"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall's eyes were filled with a sharp glint. As expected, Ling Feng's intelligence network was definitely more powerful than the one controlled by his Witch God Hall!
"There's an existence called the Myriad Gu Sect. It hasn't been around for long, only about one or two months. However, many witchcraft practitioners have already joined it, and they are developing in secret. Many of the people who came to the Witch God Hall before were actually spies planted by them. These witchcraft practitioners had only one purpose!"
Ling Feng spoke word by word, finally settling on an answer: "They came to test the Witch God Hall, to gauge its depth. That's why I intimidated them a little. However, judging by the situation, it's not very optimistic. They have likely already accumulated sufficient strength in secret!"
"Meaning, they are going to make a move within this period?"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall couldn't help but gasp.
Ling Feng nodded, "Most likely. I'm having people investigate the location of their stronghold, but these people are indeed very well-hidden. Even the places where the witchcraft practitioners gather only reveal a portion of them!"
"Then my Witch God Hall must prepare for defense!"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall took a deep breath.
"No rush. With me here, the Witch God Hall will not suffer any harm. Moreover, I plan to investigate this matter personally. The results should be out soon, so you don't need to worry!"
Ling Feng said word by word.
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
So, Ling Feng's true purpose in coming to see him so early in the morning was this!
It was to reassure him and tell him the truth, so that he wouldn't worry needlessly!
"Alright, Ling Feng, I really trouble you!"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall solemnly entrusted him.
Ling Feng, however, smiled faintly, "You're too kind. The prosperity of the Witch God Hall is something I wish to see. For the stability of Southern Cloud, local forces are essential, and the Witch God Hall is absolutely the best candidate!"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall felt Ling Feng's trust at this moment, and his heart was filled with some excitement and emotion!
"Guan Ya has good potential. I will impart some secret techniques to him, and I will bring him along on this trip. Later, you can consider letting him guard the Witch God Hall; he should be qualified!"
Ling Feng added.
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall nodded repeatedly, "Heh heh, you're thinking along the same lines as me this time. I also had this idea!"
"Yes, leave it to me!"
Ling Feng turned to leave, "Oh, please tell Yun Yue and the others to stay around the Witch God Hall for a few days. I will handle this matter as quickly as possible!"
"Haha, alright!"
A response came from behind.
At this moment, outside the Witch God Hall, Lin Shuai Nan and Guan Ya had already stood waiting for Ling Feng's arrival.
Standing beside them was another person, none other than Jin Gang!
Jin Gang was also accompanying Ling Feng on this trip. The remaining two had been instructed by Ling Feng to stay at the Witch God Hall!
Especially Titan; with him guarding everything here, Ling Feng could truly feel at ease!
"Big Brother, where are we going? Xiuxiu hasn't woken up yet. How about I ask for leave?"
Lin Shuai Nan sidled up, muttering somewhat awkwardly in a low voice.
Ling Feng's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand at Lin Shuai Nan, "Then you don't have to go!"
"Don't, Big Brother! My little brother is going, so wouldn't it be inappropriate if I didn't? Moreover, I just received news from the Lin family, it seems… my second uncle has contacted the family and might be returning soon!"
After saying this, Lin Shuai Nan became a little apprehensive, secretly glancing at Ling Feng.
He was clearly observing Ling Feng's facial expression.
Ling Feng's expression turned icy. He turned back and gave Lin Shuai Nan a cold look before casually saying, "Alright, then let's go to your Lin family first. Arrange for Ji Shi Group to cooperate with your Lin family now…"
"Got it! Heh heh, Big Brother, I'll arrange this immediately. I'll definitely make it a grand signing ceremony, so my second uncle will definitely rush over!"
Before Ling Feng could finish speaking, Lin Shuai Nan became excited, clapping his hands and hopping.
Ling Feng glared at Lin Shuai Nan, "Good, you brat, you're even scheming now? You knew all along that your second uncle's character would bring him back, didn't you?"
Lin Shuai Nan was stunned, then gave a sheepish laugh. The group stepped onto the Golden-winged Great Peng and flew away. Only then did Lin Shuai Nan suppress the smile on his face.
He then said very seriously to Ling Feng, "Big Brother, I do understand my second uncle. I believe he can also understand the current situation of the Lin family. The Lin family has paid off its debts, essentially resolving all the messes he left behind. Not only have these troubles been resolved, but the Lin family has even returned to a state of positive assets. At this time, my second uncle will definitely want to come back and get involved, but he will also hesitate and consider the risks…"
"So, I'm releasing greater benefits, which is to have Ji Shi Group cooperate with the Lin family. It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, so why not make a bigger splash this time? This way, my second uncle will definitely notice this event and will definitely come back to fight for power!"
By the end, a chilling killing intent even appeared in Lin Shuai Nan's eyes!
Ling Feng shook his head, "You're quite clever, indeed. Based on my investigation of your second uncle, this person has squandered more than half of his assets abroad. Under such circumstances, with the temptation of huge profits, he will definitely return!"
Lin Shuai Nan's eyes lit up even more, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, he wants to come back just because he's out of money? What does he take our Lin family for? His backyard? Or his money vault, where he can take money out as he pleases? It's simply absurd!"
