Longevity Begins with Internal Organs-Chapter 284 - 189: Battle Erupts, Chaos at Cyan Bamboo Ridge! (2)

But if this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid there will be big trouble in the future. Helplessly, he thought of his junior sister, and summoned her through the sect's communication.

"From what you said earlier, the Second Village Chief Zhan Feng's behavior was abnormal, he must know something. Why not call him over and ask face to face?" Duan Mengrui said.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master smiled bitterly, "Of course I know this, but these elders of Cyan Bamboo Ridge have always harbored deep hostility towards us. Directly asking surely won't yield anything."

"So you thought of me, right!"

"Junior sister's Truth-Telling Technique is unparalleled. Master's preference was clear when he taught this unique skill only to you. It's the most suitable means now to pry open this Zhan Feng's mouth."

"Alright, stop flattering me, hurry and arrange for the meeting."

"Someone has already been sent, he should be here soon."

Just after speaking, a figure appeared in the distance, and then Zhan Feng walked up the mountain.

"Second Village Chief, I'm truly sorry to call you out here in the middle of the night," the Golden Silkworm Gu Master said politely.

Zhan Feng said nothing, simply cupping his fists lightly.

"Please speak, I'm busy with village affairs and cannot be away for long."

"Haha, alright, I'll get straight to the point then. May I ask if the Second Village Chief knows who killed the Fifth Village Chief and Miss Fu?"

"Seems like you've asked the wrong person, Gu Master, how would I know such things?" Zhan Feng said calmly.

"Really? Then why did I see the Second Village Chief's face change dramatically last night when I mentioned who bore a grudge against Miss Fu?" the Golden Silkworm Gu Master said lightly.

"I was merely saddened by the thought of Miss Fu's demise at such a young age," Zhan Feng, being an old hand in the Jianghu, wasn't easily tricked by the Golden Silkworm Gu Master's words.

The Golden Silkworm Gu Master had anticipated this, and discreetly gestured to Duan Mengrui.

Duan Mengrui approached calmly with a smile.

"Greetings, Second Village Chief!"

Zhan Feng was unsure of the woman's origins and should have been on guard. But for some reason, upon seeing Duan Mengrui's smile, he suddenly felt a moment of daze and nodded subconsciously.

"Yes!"

Hiding in the distant grass, Zhao Ya experienced a strong sense of déjà vu upon witnessing this.

Once, when he was still a guard, he encountered Cheng Jingxue, and later met Sui Meimei in the woods, both of whom had similar techniques.

But compared to the matured beauty before him, their methods seemed much less refined.

Zhan Feng's strength had been compromised after being poisoned by the Meat Field, but he was still a Fourth Realm Martial Artist.

At this level, normal Charm Arts would have no effect.

Yet with just a smile, Duan Mengrui seemed to ensnare Zhan Feng, a testament to her formidable power.

Not only him but even the three from the Refining World Sect appeared entranced, with only the masked Golden Silkworm Gu Master staying alert, retreating cautiously.

However, Zhao Ya remained unaffected.

Perhaps because he possessed the Golden Finger, Zhao Ya was entirely immune to these Charm Illusion Techniques, unfazed even on direct confrontation.

But while he was immune, Zhan Feng was on the verge of succumbing.

Especially when Duan Mengrui swayed her willow-like waist and approached him directly, Zhan Feng's expression became entranced.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed deep in Duan Mengrui's eyes. She subtly flicked her fingers, scattering a thin layer of powder onto Zhan Feng unnoticed.

The action was so discreet that only Zhao Ya and the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, observing from the shadows, noticed it. The others remained oblivious.

Soon, under the influence of the powder, Zhan Feng's gaze became completely dazed.

"Second Brother, won't you tell us who killed Miss Fu?"

The voice was soft and captivating.

Though Duan Mengrui was over thirty, her sweet demeanor seemed perfectly natural, even stirring emotions.

"Hehehe, alright, I'll say, I'll say, it's...," Zhan Feng giggled foolishly.

But before he could finish, his expression froze, and then he fell to the ground like a stiff log.

With a thud.

Both Duan Mengrui and the Golden Silkworm Gu Master were shocked.

They instantly jumped back far away.

"Who?"

"Who is causing trouble in secret?"

Their voices were filled with panic.

This all happened too suddenly.

Just moments ago, everything seemed fine, and then in an instant, Zhan Feng collapsed.

Moreover, the symptoms were identical to those of Huo Tianxiao and Guan Lun, who died the previous night.

How could they not be astonished?

But amid their questioning, only the whistling cold wind replied, as silence enveloped them.

Both the Golden Silkworm Gu Master and Duan Mengrui were utterly rattled.

Especially Duan Mengrui.

She had stood right in front of Zhan Feng, yet noticed no sign before he collapsed.

Doesn't this mean the poisoner is operating at an unfathomable level?

What kind of entity has the Golden Silkworm Gu Master provoked?

These thoughts flashed through her mind, and without hesitation, she cupped her hands.

"Whoever you may be, I'm only here at the Golden Silkworm Gu Master's invitation to help. I've realized this issue is beyond my handling, so please forgive me, I will take my leave."

Saying that, she turned to leave without looking back.

"Junior Sister!" The Golden Silkworm Gu Master was shocked.

"Apologies, Senior Brother, I cannot be involved, farewell!"
