C1328 Two Camps

"The Great Elder just agreed to let you go and treat the chief today. Someone will come to kill you soon. Needless to say, there must be someone in this village who doesn't want the chief to recover!"

Chiang Nu told Xu Feng her thoughts. Xu Feng nodded in agreement. After a pause, Chiang Nu continued, "But don't you think it's strange? Why did he let us find out?"

Xu Feng frowned slightly. His mind was spinning quickly. He remembered that the Great Elder had also deliberately let them find out last night. He could not help but say, "Could it be that he wants to warn us not to interfere?"

"It should be!"

Chiang Nu said in a deep voice, "Now that we are in the village, it is not convenient for those people to make a move, but they are not willing to watch you save the patriarch. We can only do this!"

"It seems that our guess is correct. There are indeed people in this village who want to harm the chief!"

After Xu Feng said that, he did not say anything else. He frowned and thought about it. Figures of people appeared in his mind one after another.

"Don't think about it. There are still a few days left. It is a fox. Its tail will be revealed eventually!"

Chiang Nu saw that Xu Feng did not have any clues, so she patted his shoulder and said softly. Xu Feng only nodded and continued to think.

The next morning, Xu Feng came to the square. After practicing for a while, he stopped practicing and sat by the side. He observed everyone who came and went.

Just as Chiang Nu said, as long as it was a fox, its tail would be revealed. If that person was discovered, Xu Feng believed that with the Aura of Heaven and Earth, he could find the person who warned him last night.

The village was not big, and there were not many people. Almost everyone walked in front of Xu Feng, but no one panicked when they walked in front of him.

Unknowingly, it was already noon. The sun was high in the sky, and Xu Feng was sweating because of the hot weather.

"Brother Xu Feng, what are you doing?"

At this moment, a voice sounded beside his ear. Ka Yaen had unknowingly come to his side and sat down.

"Cultivate!"

Xu Feng, who was focused on observing in front of him, did not want to pay attention to Ka Yaen. But thinking about it, if he continued to observe like this, he might not discover anything. Why not ask Ka Yaen about it?

"Ka Yaen, can I ask you some questions?"

Rubbing his eyes, Xu Feng gave up on this stupid method and turned his head to ask Ka Yaen.

"Of course. As long as I know, you can ask me anything you want."

Ka Yaen patted her chest and agreed without thinking.

"In the village, how is the relationship between the elders and the patriarch? What is the relationship with the villagers?"

Xu Feng asked tactfully, but it did not mean that Ka Yaen could not understand what he meant. She immediately put her finger on her mouth to signal Xu Feng not to continue.

Ka Yaen looked around vigilantly and pulled Xu Feng towards the back of the village.

"There is indeed a situation!"

Seeing Ka Yaen's appearance, Xu Feng was delighted in his heart. If Ka Yaen could tell him useful information, then the target of his suspicion would be greatly reduced.

Very soon, the two of them walked out of the village and came to the foot of the mountain behind the village.

Ka Lu's face no longer had his usual smile. Instead, it was a solemn expression.

"We juniors are not allowed to talk about these problems. Just now, you said in the village that if the elders find out, they will punish you severely!"

The more taboo it was, the bigger the secret it contained. Therefore, Xu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why can't we talk about it?"

"Who knows? This is the rule of the village!"

Ka Yaen shook her head. She did not know either. She looked into Xu Feng's eyes and her lips moved. In the end, she still did not say anything.

"Ka Yaen, tell me!"

Ka Yaen's help was very important to Xu Feng. It was not only related to his comfort, but also the life and death of the patriarch.

Although Xu Feng had never seen the patriarch before, he knew that the patriarch was Ka Te's father. With this alone, Xu Feng had no reason not to clarify the entire matter.

"No, if the elder knows about this, I will be expelled from the village!"

Ka Yaen said with a troubled expression. To her, this matter... She brought Xu Feng here because she was afraid that Xu Feng's words would be heard by others. She told the Great Elder that Xu Feng would be punished by then.

"Last night, I felt that someone was trying to kill me. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't be able to find out who it was!"

After thinking for a while, Xu Feng decided to tell Ka Yaen about what happened last night. Ka Yaen's eyes widened when she heard him, and she didn't react for a long time.

"Big Brother Xu Feng, what you said... is true?"

Ka Yaen asked in a daze. What Xu Feng could do was just nod heavily and guarantee at the same time, "If what I said is false, heavenly lightning will strike!"

This was a taboo in the village. Even if what Xu Feng said was true, Ka Yaen did not dare to say these things out loud. Although Xu Feng was Ka Te's good friend, he was just an outsider to their village.

"Ka Yaen, if you don't tell me, I'm afraid that the old patriarch's life will be in danger."

Seeing Ka Yaen hesitating, Xu Feng couldn't help but ask again. After Ka Yaen heard this, she also made a decision in her heart. She nodded and frowned. She said to Xu Feng, "But you have to promise that these things must not be told by me!"

"Of course. My goal is to cure the patriarch. I will not interfere in the matters of your village!"

Xu Feng had enough trouble. He did not want to continue to cause trouble. If it were not for the sake of guarding against the enemies hiding in the dark, Xu Feng would not even ask Ka Yaen these questions.

As the saying went, one should not have the intention to harm others. One must always be wary of others. Now that he was in another person's territory, he could not relax at all.

One thought was heaven, one thought was hell. Xu Feng, who walked the martial arts world, knew this like the back of his hand.

"The village is indeed divided into two camps. One side is the patriarch, and the other side is the Great Elder..."

Ka Yaen talked tirelessly. Xu Feng did not disturb her and quietly listened.

It turned out that as time passed, the sealed environment caused the number of people in their family to decrease. The Great Elder wanted to leave Hidden Village and bring his people to develop outside.

The patriarch believed that their ancestor had come here to avoid the chaos of war. They could cultivate in peace and pursue the Great Dao. Now, they had left the North Domain for such a long time. To the people of the world, they had long been drowned by history. Why should they enter the world again?

Everyone had seen the situation in the village. That was why the elder who supported the patriarch was only my father. The rest of the people were on the side of the Great Elder.

"As expected... This Great Elder is not simple!"

Xu Feng sighed in his heart. After all, it was already amazing that he was able to win over so many elders to stand on the same side as him.

"The chief is a highly respected person. Most of the villagers listen to the chief's words. Therefore, after the chief was injured, many people in the village speculated that it was the Great Elder who wanted to leave Hidden Village. That's why he injured the chief!"

After Ka Yaen finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes. She had a feeling that their village was going to change.

"Oh... According to what you said, the person who wanted to plot against me last night is very likely to be any elder other than your father?"

"Very likely!"

However, this was merely a guess. Xu Feng had a feeling that the matter wasn't that simple. There must be something fishy about this!

"Since the Great Elder wants to leave the village and has gotten the approval of so many elders, why didn't he just kill the patriarch and use such a method instead?"1

These questions were like strands of hair that lingered in Xu Feng's mind. However, he had more or less understood what he needed to know. He still had one or two days to digest these news.

"Alright! Thank you, Ka Yaen!"

After putting down the question in his mind for the time being, Xu Feng expressed his gratitude, then parted ways with Ka Yaen and returned to his residence.

Not far from them, a young man in the village was eavesdropping on their conversation. However, the two of them were too engrossed and did not notice.

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

Chiang Nu immediately asked when she saw Xu Feng return.

Afraid that there would be ears on the wall, Xu Feng did not speak immediately in broad daylight. He made a hand seal and sealed the room before sitting down. He shook his head helplessly.

He told Chiang Nu everything Ka Yaen said to him just now. After Chiang Nu heard it, her face turned gloomy. Judging from the current situation, the situation they were in... After all, the person who wanted the patriarch to recover was... It was just Ka Yaen's father alone.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

Chiang Nu looked at Xu Feng. Xu Feng smiled bitterly and said slowly, "What can we do? We have to be careful."

Xu Feng originally thought that after finding Hidden Village, he could easily get the support of his family, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Now, Xu Feng only wanted to cure the patriarch, so his mission was completed. The rest of the matters were not within his consideration.

On this day, Xu Feng didn't go out again. He stayed in the house until night fell.

At midnight, Xu Feng and Chiang Nu did not sleep. They were paying full attention to their surroundings.

Before meeting the old patriarch, Xu Feng wanted to find that person. Although there was no way to root out the problem of the village, at least he could kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. He wanted those people in the dark not to act so brazenly to ease the urgent situation.

However, the matter wasn't as ideal as Xu Feng had imagined. After a whole night, there wasn't a trace of unusual Qi in the village. Everyone had fallen into a deep sleep.

"It seems like the other party is far more meticulous than we had imagined!"

After a night, the rooster chirped again. Xu Feng, who had no harvest, could only shake his head and sigh.

After a night of tiredness, Xu Feng did not choose to rest. Instead, he went to the square and cultivated with the people in the village.

"Young Fellow Taoist Xu Feng, you don't seem to be in good spirits. How is it? Are you alright?"

The Great Elder seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw Xu Feng from afar, he walked over. When he saw Xu Feng with dark circles under his eyes, he could not help but ask with concern.

"I'm fine! There was a small accident during my cultivation last night. Thank you for your concern, Great Elder."

Xu Feng responded with a smile as if nothing had happened.
