With a ferocious expression, Ji Xuanming gritted his teeth in anger.

Gu Feng, with Bai Jugu, had just stepped out of the cave dwelling when a loud crash sounded behind them.

Bai Jugu stumbled, barely regaining his balance, and muttered with lingering fear, "That Ji Xuanming is truly a madman. If he successfully inherits the position of Village Master, future trade will be troublesome."

With a faint smile, Gu Feng said, "Don't worry, someone like him won't become the Village Master."

Ji Xuanming's violent nature and lack of ambition made him ill-suited to lead a large organization like the Witch's Village, and he would inevitably be replaced.

Hou Yixiao silently agreed with Gu Feng's assessment.

His mind was meticulous, and using the identity of Tuoba Zhu, he had become an advisor in the old Village Master's cave dwelling within just a few days of arriving at the Witch's Village.

Naturally, he knew some of the intricacies involved.

He secretly communicated to Gu Feng, advising him not to return to the caravan for now, as there was a significant matter to attend to.

Hearing this, Gu Feng nodded subtly, curious about what grand plan this fat man had in store.

After a pause, Hou Yixiao turned to Bai Jugu and said, "Leader Bai, please take the caravan to Evernight Cave. Someone will meet you there. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't be joining you."

"Thank you, Attending Witch Tuoba. I'll set off with the caravan immediately."

Bai Jugu nodded repeatedly. He was familiar with the route to Evernight Cave, and doing business with Ji Wenxuan was ideal, as it ensured everyone's interests were protected.

In high spirits, Bai Jugu was about to organize the caravan's departure when Gu Feng stopped him.

"Brother Bai, I have some matters to attend to as well. Could you inform my attendants to stay with the caravan at Evernight Cave? I'll come to find them later."

Gu Feng arranged this to prevent Fang Feixue from worrying about his safety while alone in the caravan, avoiding any unnecessary incidents. Having Bai Jugu relay the message would put her at ease.

Bai Jugu nodded in surprise, glancing at Gu Feng and Hou Yixiao, understanding their silent communication.

He had seen Hou Yixiao, disguised as Tuoba Zhu, in the caravan and knew they were acquainted.

He had overheard their conversation in Ji Xuanming's cave dwelling and guessed that Gu Feng and Tuoba Zhu shared some secret, possibly plotting something.

However, as a mere servant of the Jiang family, he had no interest in meddling in such affairs, as long as it didn't interfere with the caravan's trade. He preferred to stay far away from trouble.

Without further ado, Bai Jugu cupped his hands in farewell and left.

Seeing Bai Jugu depart, Hou Yixiao quickly turned and said with a grin, "Sequence, follow me."

"Where to?" Gu Feng asked.

Hou Yixiao raised an enigmatic eyebrow and replied, "To meet someone."

With that, he ascended into the air, riding a beam of light.

Rolling his eyes, Gu Feng had no idea what Hou Yixiao was up to but followed closely.

The two flew on their swords, traversing most of the White Tiger Witch's Village, finally stopping at a secluded Gu source field.

A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.

Dispersing the light, Gu Feng impatiently asked, "Who is so mysterious that they want to meet me in this godforsaken place?"

Before Hou Yixiao could respond, a low voice suddenly spoke.

"Forced by circumstances, I had no choice. If I've been disrespectful, I hope you'll forgive me."

Following the voice, they saw a figure in a black robe slowly emerging from the depths of the Gu field.

Gu Feng scrutinized him suspiciously, thinking the attire resembled a Jedi Knight from a sci-fi movie in his past life.

The black-robed figure glanced around, seeing no one else, and pulled off the robe to reveal a handsome young man.

"You must be Mr. Gu."

The young man, dressed in a blue robe with his hair in a high bun, had the appearance of a traditional cultivator from the Eastern Region. He bowed slightly to Gu Feng and introduced himself, "I am Ji Wenxuan. I've long admired your reputation, and it's a great honor to meet you today."

Narrowing his eyes, Gu Feng wasn't surprised, but he thought Ji Wenxuan didn't seem like a witch cultivator from the Northern Wilderness border.

"I'll leave you two to chat..."

Hou Yixiao bowed to Gu Feng and Ji Wenxuan, then slowly retreated to keep watch for them.

Before leaving, he secretly winked at Gu Feng and communicated, "Sequence, this guy is not like Ji Xuanming. He's formidable. Let's see how you handle him!"

Gu Feng chuckled wryly, composed himself, and replied politely, "So it's the third young master of the White Tiger Witch's Village. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner!"

"Such a trivial title is not worth mentioning. No need for formalities," Ji Wenxuan said calmly, waving his hand.

Immediately, Gu Feng held him in high regard.

Compared to the reckless Ji Xuanming, Ji Wenxuan was a talented individual with a mature and ruthless nature.

Gu Feng was never afraid of blustering fools, but he was wary of foxes like Ji Wenxuan.

They appeared harmless, but at critical moments, they could strike at your vital points, leading to your downfall.

After some polite conversation, Ji Wenxuan suddenly said, "I've often heard Tuoba mention you, claiming you have profound cultivation and worldly talents, having experienced hundreds of battles between the Eastern Region and the Southern Barbarians. Is there any truth to this?"

With a cold laugh in his heart, Gu Feng knew Ji Wenxuan was probing him. Without hesitation, he replied mysteriously, "Tuoba has overpraised me. I have indeed fought a few tough battles against the Southern Barbarian demon clan and know a bit about military tactics."

Ji Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "I've lived in the Northern Wilderness for a long time and have only heard bits about the grudges between the Eastern Region and the Southern Barbarians. Could you share some interesting stories from the battlefield to broaden my horizons?"

As they say, when experts clash, every move is critical!

Ji Wenxuan wanted to test Gu Feng's capabilities, and Gu Feng couldn't show weakness, opting for a low-key approach. Unexpectedly, Ji Wenxuan directly asked for substantial proof!

If it were anyone else, facing such a challenging opponent, they might have slipped up.

"He's really a tough nut to crack, but too bad he met me!"

With strong mental fortitude, Gu Feng silently cursed but forced himself to remain calm.

Facing Ji Wenxuan's skeptical expression, Gu Feng spoke eloquently.

He directly borrowed from Fang Feixue's experiences in battles against the Southern Barbarians, cleverly substituting and embellishing details.

His tales were extravagant and bizarre!

At first, they seemed unbelievable, but upon reflection, they appeared plausible.

He managed to dazzle Ji Wenxuan, leaving him dizzy and wide-eyed!
