More opportunities would arise for the three of them to take action from now on!
Ling Feng, sensing the excited mood of the three behind him, spoke calmly, "I let the three of you go ahead first. Do you understand what that means now?"
"Yes, thank you, Heavenly Venerate, for your cultivation!"
The most intelligent Jin Tong immediately flattered Ling Feng!
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Alright, once we reach Nanyun, do you know what you should be most wary of?"
"We know, it's Gu worms!"
Lin Shuai Nan immediately answered, as if he had been waiting for the question!
"Hmm, you're partially correct. The accurate answer is Gu Masters! Those who control Gu worms are the most troublesome. After all these years, the local customs here are still quite fierce!"
As Ling Feng finished speaking, the three behind him immediately became vigilant. Titan glanced back slightly and whispered to Ling Feng, "Heavenly Venerate, it seems we are being followed."
"Heh heh, it's not 'seems like.' We are indeed being followed. But for now, don't worry about it. Let's walk forward a bit and see what they want to do!"
Ling Feng smiled faintly and led the group forward quickly. Ahead, there seemed to be a central plaza, and Ling Feng sensed some energy there!
The aura of Blood Killing Gu!
Ling Feng couldn't be 100% sure if these things were related to Zu Shen, but he could be mostly certain. Blood Killing Gu could serve as a host for Zu Shen's clones. Those things might carry some of Zu Shen's consciousness. Therefore, Ling Feng's goal was simple: to capture all the Blood Killing Gu in this safe zone.
Or rather, to control them. At the same time, Ling Feng would use his own methods to refine these Blood Killing Gu. Later, these guys could fly out.
Before long, they would be able to thoroughly investigate Zu Shen's layout in Nanyun. This was Ling Feng's objective!
As for the followers, Ling Feng didn't pay much attention to them. These people should have nothing to do with Zu Shen.
Soon, the group arrived at the central plaza.
Ling Feng's gaze immediately locked onto a shop. A Gu worm shop?
"Heh heh, these things can be openly displayed and sold! That's quite interesting. Could it be that everyone in Nanyun is now a Gu Master?"
Ling Feng chuckled and shook his head.
Lin Shuai Nan, having noticed where Ling Feng was looking, also looked in that direction and his eyes lit up.
"Hey, they really do sell Gu worms! Everyone being a Gu Master is a bit exaggerated, though. Does that mean we have to be wary of all of them?"
Lin Shuai Nan took Ling Feng's words quite seriously, but his thought process was different from others; he was prone to getting stuck on details.
At this moment, the expressions of the people behind them became even more somber.
Jin Tong leaned closer to Ling Feng and reached out, "Heavenly Venerate..."
"Outside, call me Mr. Ling!"
Ling Feng interrupted him gently.
"Yes, Mr. Ling, those people over there have followed us. They all have some Gu worm aura on them, so they seem to be Gu Masters. And Gu worms are already heading our way!"
Jin Tong reported to Ling Feng with a solemn expression.
Ling Feng merely nodded faintly upon hearing this, "Yes, I see it. It's a witchcraft illusion. It won't have any impact on our divine sense cultivation. However, I need one of you to go out and see what the situation is!"
"This subordinate requests to go!"
Jingang was the first to volunteer!
"Alright, it'll be you. You look a bit simple-minded, making you easier to control. Once they make a move, we'll turn and leave. You'll separate from the group. If you encounter anything you can't handle, send a message!"
Ling Feng gave the order decisively!
Jingang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
At this moment, the people behind them drew closer. There seemed to be three of them, not many, and they appeared to be casually strolling around. However, the Gu worms they controlled had already reached Ling Feng and the others' feet.
The moment they made their move, Ling Feng directly headed towards the Gu worm shop.
"Let's go!"
The people behind him hurried to follow. Lin Shuai Nan also suppressed his curiosity and didn't look back!
Only Jingang remained in place, appearing as if he had been bewitched, and Ling Feng and the others hadn't noticed!
"Huh? Only one guy fell for it?!"
"This guy looks a bit dim-witted, making him easy to trick!"
"They're heading towards boss Liu's shop. This is a bit troublesome. Should we follow them!?"
"No need!"
The three muttered to each other for a while. One of them, who looked like the leader, turned and beckoned to Jingang, "Take this big simpleton back first. Later, when they realize they've lost a companion, they'll naturally turn back to look for him! Skinny, you stay here and guard while we go back!"
Two of the three left, leaving behind a skinny one who quietly walked towards the Gu worm shop.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuai Nan whispered to Ling Feng, "Hey, hey, boss, don't let those two take Jingang away. Look how shady they are, what if they try to assault Jingang?"
Ling Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth upon hearing Lin Shuai Nan's words, then shook his head at him, "Probably not. And even if they wanted to assault him, I don't think Jingang would be the one at a disadvantage!"
Pfft!
Titan next to him couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Ling Feng look back at him, Titan immediately tensed up.
"This subordinate deserves death!"
"As my personal guard, you don't need to be so tense. Also, your demeanor is too obvious; anyone can tell you're my bodyguard. So, relax!"
Ling Feng said this to the two of them calmly.
The two were stunned for a moment, but then they quickly nodded. These words were easy to say and easy to hear, but difficult to do!
To interact with Ling Feng as if they were friends?
That was truly difficult!
Ling Feng, however, had already called out to the shop assistant, "Are you selling Gu worms here?"
"Yes, except for some special innate Gu worms, we sell everything else. Boss, please feel free to choose. Anything within my authority can be sold. If it exceeds my authority, I'll have to call our shopkeeper. Of course, if you want to impress our shopkeeper, boss, it depends on your strength!"
The shop assistant inside was very talkative and spoke quite boldly, showing no fear that his words might anger Ling Feng!
Ling Feng merely nodded faintly, "Good, then how do I prove my strength?"
"Money, haha, boss, as long as you have money, our shopkeeper will naturally come out to see you!"
The shop assistant nodded with a smile, as if it were a matter of course.
Ling Feng shook his head. This rule was quite straightforward.
However, it was their business, and he had to abide by their rules. Ling Feng directly took out a card and swiped it on a machine!
"Oh my, ten billion! Boss, you're truly wealthy. Alright, I'll go call our shopkeeper out!"
The shop assistant nodded and turned to call someone.
But then he remembered something, "Oh right, boss, what kind of Gu worms are you looking for? Tell me directly, and I'll inform the shopkeeper later. Perhaps the shopkeeper will bring the Gu worms out to meet you!"
Ling Feng nodded upon hearing this, "Good, I want... Blood Killing Gu!"
"What?! Blood Killing Gu?!" The shop assistant's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed!
