Chapter 121 Sealing the Mountain
The ghost insects that flew out of the sphere found themselves unable to penetrate Shen Feng's body, so they stayed hovering around him.
The surface of the ghost insect nest was only the size of a fist, but the space inside was enormous, with millions, even tens of millions of ghost insects dwelling within a single nest.
The ghost insect nest could expand or contract, forming its own unique space within.
Unfortunately, despite having its own independent space, the nest could not be used to store items.
There was a special connection between the nest and the ghost insects, and other items, if put inside, would basically be crushed instantly.
With Shen Feng's current level of cultivation, it was nearly impossible to alter the spatial structure within the ghost insect nest.
Therefore, the ghost insect nest could not be used as a storage ring.
Shen Feng, sensing the dense swarm of ghost insects within the nest, quickly locked onto one of the queens.
As queens of the ghost insects, they were about ten times larger than the ordinary ones.
Possibly feeling threatened by Shen Feng, all the ghost insects in the nest erupted into chaos, rushing out of the nest en masse.
Subsequently,
a white mist began to emanate from the bodies of the ghost insects, and with their overwhelming numbers, the mist quickly spread.
This white mist contained a potent toxin, potent enough to bring down a cultivator of the Acquired State's tenth layer within thirty seconds.
Fortunately, Shen Feng had some understanding of ghost insects and temporarily held his breath, his perceptive force firmly locked on the queen inside the nest.
To subdue the queen of the ghost insects, one must implant their own spiritual imprint in the queen's body, which was not difficult for Shen Feng, given his still powerful spiritual force.
If the queen's spiritual force was a boat, then Shen Feng's was an endless ocean.
But the queen was very cunning, perhaps sensing Shen Feng's intention, she began to frantically flee within the nest.
The space inside was interconnected, and the nest contained certain peculiar laws that allowed the queen to conceal herself.
In Shen Feng's view, the queen of the ghost insects was merely struggling in her death throes, he didn't bother with the white mist spreading through the air.
While Shen Feng had discovered the ghost insect nest and was attempting to subdue the queen,
in Nine Dragons Village,
Wang Anxiong hurried over in his car. He had just gone to Splendid Garden to pick up Shen Feng and bring him to Nine Dragons Mountain, and also to discuss matters related to the Immortal Flavor Liquid.
However, upon arriving at Splendid Garden, he was informed by Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng that Shen Feng had already left for Nine Dragons Mountain.
Consequently, he immediately rushed to Nine Dragons Mountain.
Cai Zhi, who was initially resting in the car, got out upon seeing Wang Anxiong and greeted him, "Brother Wang."
Wang Anxiong responded and then asked, "Is the master up on Nine Dragons Mountain?"
Cai Zhi nodded and answered, "The master has been up the mountain for quite a while now. It was I who drove the master here today."
Wang Anxiong could not afford to chat with Cai Zhi anymore, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Shen Feng's number, but an automated voice immediately came through his ear, "I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."
Shen Feng found himself surrounded by a dense swarm of Ghost Insects within the One-Star Spirit Mine, so it would be odd if his cellphone could receive a signal!
Wang Anxiong knew that Shen Feng should be on the eastern side of the mountain when he wanted to head to Nine Dragons Mountain.
A line of cars roared toward their direction.
One of the SUVs skidded to a halt, blocking Wang Anxiong's path in an instant.
After the SUV stopped, Xie Yuansan stepped out and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you've really disappointed me!"
Suddenly, more than thirty cars drove in, and black-clad men descended from each one, all bulging at the waist—a sure sign they were armed with guns.
Wang Anxiong's brow furrowed deeply. Xie Yuansan's sudden appearance signaled that the Jiang Family was making their move against him. He hadn't anticipated that they would act this quickly, not even granting him the chance to catch his breath?
Wang Anxiong intended to call Xu Dong and Fatty Qian to have them immediately contact Shen Feng, but just as he was about to dial out,
Xie Yuansan's right hand swiftly shot out, slapping the phone out of Wang Anxiong's hand, causing it to plummet to the ground.
"Bang!"
Xie Yuansan stomped heavily on Wang Anxiong's cellphone, crushing it: "Brother Wang, I show up and you don't even say hello; isn't that a bit improper? After all, I am the one who's going to replace you."
Then, Xie Yuansan shouted at the black-clad men who had come down from the cars, "Split into groups and head up the mountain, bring down everyone you find there. If anyone dares to resist, make them suffer."
Cai Zhi, who had just come to his senses, yelled, "What are you doing? What right do you have to do this?"
Xie Yuansan declared proudly, "What right? We are assisting the relevant authorities. There are people in this mountain producing contraband, and since I'm a law-abiding citizen, of course, I have to help the authorities catch the criminals."
As soon as he finished speaking,
a group of the black-clad men quickly set off towards Nine Dragons Mountain.
The rest remained on standby at their current location.
Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang also tried to take out their phones, but unfortunately, the alert and quick-handed men in black snatched their phones away.
Xie Yuansan, now confident and arrogant, warned Cai Zhi and Cai Heguang, "Behave yourselves, or you'll find bullets don't have eyes."
Wang Anxiong's face darkened further; he had the Life-saving Jade Amulet given to him by Shen Feng.
But the Life-saving Jade Amulet could only be used once, and it would only be triggered in a life-or-death crisis. There was a distance to the eastern side of Nine Dragons Mountain, and it was almost impossible for him to escape alone from Xie Yuansan and so many men in black.
"Xie Yuansan, what exactly are you trying to do?" Wang Anxiong demanded coldly.
Looking at Wang Anxiong with disdain, Xie Yuansan replied, "Brother Wang, all your men have been temporarily controlled. Don't worry, no one will come to support you."
"You'll accompany me for a while before you're interrogated by the relevant authorities. Elder Jiang has set up a banquet at Jade Mansion Hotel for noon today. All the major families of Wuzhou will be present, and you have such prestige! This banquet can be said to be specially prepared for you."
Wang Anxiong felt a surge of fury. Clearly, all the major families in Wuzhou were eyeing the Immortal Flavor Liquid. It seemed that the matter of the Immortal Flavor Liquid was known to all the major families in Wuzhou.
This was clearly a trap!
He racked his brain, now only a master could resolve the current situation. In hindsight, he should have had the master take care of these bastards from the start.
Xie Yuansan, full of smug satisfaction, glanced at Cai Heguang and said, "The estate being constructed on Nine Dragons Mountain is under your company's construction? Starting today, the mountain is temporarily sealed. The blockade on Nine Dragons Mountain will only be lifted after the matter is fully resolved."
