Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 85 – White Tiger Stronghold Incident
After leaving the White Tiger Cave, Gu Feng released two flying kites.
One was to send a message to Gu Xuanyuan, who was far away in Yong'an City.
He instructed him to arrange for Zuo Yuan and Bai Yu, two Spirit Dividing realm celestial generals, to spread false news in the core area of the Northern Wilderness that they were hunting the Nine Tribulations Witch King.
Gu Feng decided to act now after learning the true nature of the so-called "Blood-Crying Infant Gathering Pill" from Ji Qin.
This miraculous Gu poison was actually a technique that slowly corroded a cultivator's body and spiritual soul.
As for why the Nine Tribulations Witch King did this, it was likely for the mutated demon infant inside his body, which Ji Qin mentioned was beyond his control.
This thing must be extremely important to him!
With Ji Qin's death, the Nine Tribulations Witch King might appear at the White Tiger Witch's Village to retrieve the mutated demon infant.
Therefore, Gu Feng decided to raise the stakes, leaving the Nine Tribulations Witch King with no choice.
Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still have to go to the Northern Wilderness border to retrieve the demon infant and evade Zuo Yuan and Bai Yu's pursuit.
At the same time, Gu Feng informed Gu Xuanyuan to set off immediately and come to the White Tiger Witch's Village. If the Nine Tribulations Witch King really appeared, the power he currently possessed might not even be enough to fill the gaps between the opponent's teeth.
Capturing the old man, the Nine Tribulations Witch King, alive was crucial to Gu Xuanyuan's strength.
The other flying kite was specifically for Ji Wenxuan, to whom Gu Feng truthfully relayed the conversation between himself and Ji Qin.
He also informed him that the time was ripe to raise an army and return to the village, as the final battle was imminent.
Gu Feng then sent a message to Murong Ze, informing him that a major event would occur at the White Tiger Witch's Village in the coming days.
He advised him to temporarily reside with Jiang Chuyao at the Jiang family caravan's camp.
After all, with the powerful Jiang family backing the caravan, no matter how arrogant Ji Xuanming was, he wouldn't dare to target the Jiang family caravan.
Murong Ze, being very trustworthy, directly assigned the seven capable subordinates who had previously acted with him to Gu Feng, allowing him to command them at will.
This took Gu Feng by surprise.
These seven, known as the Seven Sons of Leaving Fire in the Murong Family, were orphans raised and secretly trained as death warriors by the Murong Family.
They practiced cultivation methods of the same origin, and their combined strength was formidable.
They followed Murong Ze's orders without question, and after being assigned to Gu Feng, they were equally obedient, leaving Gu Feng astonished.
He wondered if he could cultivate a similar group of enforcers when he returned to Heroic Spirit City.
After completing all this, Gu Feng plunged into his temporary residence in Evernight Cave and didn't go out again.
Apart from occasionally stepping out for some fresh air, he spent all his time silently cultivating in his room.
Two days passed like this.
Suddenly, Bai Jugu from the Jiang family caravan came to find him, revealing that Yan Wushuang, who had been recuperating in the caravan, had mysteriously disappeared!
Bai Jugu thought Yan Wushuang might have come to find Gu Feng, which was why he came looking.
Gu Feng was speechless. At such a critical moment, Yan Wushuang's sudden disappearance could be a big or small issue.
He was most worried that Yan Wushuang might have gone to the border to pester Fang Feixue.

If he disrupted Gu Feng's grand plan, what would he do?
Bai Jugu was also uneasy. As the leader of the Jiang family caravan, Yan Wushuang's identity as the overseer of the Divine Steed Army in Yong'an City made his unexplained disappearance hard to justify.
After comforting Bai Jugu with a few words, Gu Feng still couldn't understand why a living person would suddenly vanish.
The only possibility was that Yan Wushuang left on his own, but as for the reason, who the hell knew?
"Did that fool get his brain fried by the Seven Sons of Leaving Fire..." Gu Feng couldn't help but complain inwardly.
After sending Bai Jugu away, he returned to his room to meditate and refine his Qi.
Time passed day by day.
On the morning of the third day.
The entire White Tiger Witch's Village suddenly erupted!
A witch servant's scout reported that Ji Wenxuan had personally led ten thousand witch soldiers back to the village!
The army was only a dozen miles away from the main part of the village.
The first to lose composure was Ji Xuanming, who was drinking and reveling with Ji Xuanyang in his cave dwelling.
Upon hearing the news, he abruptly stood up and smashed the wine bowl in his hand.
"Good! That bastard finally decided to come back!"
Ji Xuanming grinned widely and said, "Second brother, come with me to strip him of his military power, then charge him with the crime of disobeying military orders! We can execute him on the spot!"
Ji Xuanyang, dressed in military attire, hesitated and said, "Big brother, that kid has ten thousand witch soldiers under his command, while we only have a little over a thousand here. Wouldn't it be..."
"He wouldn't dare!"
Ji Xuanming sneered, "Father is still alive and well in the White Tiger Cave. Can he not handle this bastard?"
Nodding, Ji Xuanyang, who still had some sense, was quickly led astray by his older brother and agreed, "Right! That bastard can't cause much trouble! If worse comes to worst, we can go to Evernight Cave and capture his slave mother to see what he dares to do!"
"Haha! Well said! Let's head to Evernight Cave!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Ji Xuanming laughed arrogantly and took Ji Xuanyang's hand as they walked out of the cave dwelling!
Just as they stepped out, a silver sword light suddenly flew over.
Ji Xuanming staggered back two steps.
The ground was cut with a deep crack by the sword light...
"Who goes there?!"
Ji Xuanming shouted angrily, scanning the surroundings.
"It's me..."
Gu Feng, riding on his light, hovered high above the entrance of Moonwatching Cave. The silver Bright Moon Shuttle moved on its own, circling around him.
Behind him, seven cultivators in uniform red robes stood imposingly, looking down on everyone.
"You, Gu! How dare you!"
Before Ji Xuanming could speak, his servant Long Ba stepped forward, pointing at Gu Feng and cursing, "My young master is about to become the lord of the village, and you dare..."
Before he could finish, the silver sword light flew out again.
With a "swish," Long Ba's head flew high into the air, and his headless body wobbled like a kite with a broken string before collapsing to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, not daring to breathe.
Gu Feng had dared to kill Ji Xuanming's most loyal servant right in front of him!
Was he crazy?!
As the saying goes, even when hitting a dog, you must consider its owner. Gu Feng's actions were a blatant challenge to Ji Xuanming's authority in the village!
"You, you dare commit murder openly in the village!"
Ji Xuanyang shouted, retreating continuously. Now, he was more terrified and frightened, stumbling towards a stationed witch soldier and pointing at Gu Feng in the sky, shouting, "Why aren't you capturing this thief? What are you waiting for?!"
The overwhelming cultivation power spread out, and the Seven Sons of Leaving Fire from the Murong Family directly released the aura of the Elemental Infant Realm.
The air instantly became unbearably hot.
The hundred or so witch soldiers guarding Moonwatching Cave had never seen such domineering cultivators.
Their cultivation was low, and although they were numerous, they knew they were no match for the eight people before them. They immediately dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
Ji Xuanming finally saw the situation clearly and regretted not having transferred the more than a thousand witch soldiers guarding the White Tiger Cave back to Moonwatching Cave earlier. At least then, they could have relied on their numbers to fight.
Now, he still held onto the hope that Ji Qin could help him out of this situation.
"You, Gu! What do you mean by this?! Aren't you afraid my father will blame you when he finds out?!"
Ji Xuanming shouted angrily.
Gu Feng looked down at him coldly and said, "By the order of the village lord, all areas within ten miles of Moonwatching Cave are sealed. Without the village lord's command, no one is allowed to leave!"
"What? Impossible! Why would my father confine us?!" Ji Xuanyang shouted in disbelief.
Gu Feng smiled faintly and replied, "Who said it was Ji Qin's order? The current village lord is Ji Wenxuan!"
