Chapter 964: Room Under Attack
A few days later, the luxury helicopter that Su Chen bought finally found its purpose.
Su Chen piloted that luxurious helicopter all by himself, flying straight southwest.
Since he needed to pilot it himself, he couldn't fully enjoy the helicopter's luxury. If there were a pilot, he could at least lie in bed for a nap.
After about ten hours of flying, he finally reached South Yunnan, the city closest to Miaojiang.
By the time Su Chen arrived, it was already around nine in the evening, so he casually found a hotel to stay in.
After settling down, he gave Mu Fan a call to let him know he arrived.
When he parted ways with the Mu siblings, they had exchanged phone numbers.
In fact, when he first heard from his master, the old ghost, that the Gu inside Lin Ruoxue could only be unsealed by the one who placed it or by the Holy Witch Maiden, Su Chen had already pinned most of his hopes on the latter.
Because getting the one who placed the Gu to unseal it before the Gu worm awakened was simply impossible!
As it happened, he knew a candidate for the Holy Witch Maiden, and that was Mu Ling'er!
If Mu Ling'er truly becomes the Holy Witch Maiden, with his friendship with the Mu siblings, getting her to help Lin Ruoxue wouldn't be too difficult.
Of course, if the other two candidates were chosen, Su Chen would also ask them for help, which would be far more reliable than asking the one who placed the Gu!
As for the price, for Lin Ruoxue, he was willing to pay anything!
Su Chen had previously called the Mu siblings to inquire about their situation, given they were constantly pursued.
Mu Ling'er is now a person linked to Lin Ruoxue's life, so naturally, he cared more than before!
When Mu Fan told him that they were completely safe, Su Chen felt relieved.
He also asked about the selection of the Holy Witch Maiden, and Mu Fan told him that it hadn't been decided yet, but mentioned the approximate timing.
When Su Chen informed the siblings that he would be visiting Miaojiang sometime, both were thrilled and warmly welcomed him to visit!
Upon learning that Su Chen had arrived, Mu Fan was even more excited, saying they would pick him up early the next morning.
After finishing the call with Mu Fan, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating.
However, he was so used to cultivating in the Gathering Yuan Formation environment that suddenly cultivating in a normal environment felt a bit uncomfortable, as the speed was too slow!
It's like being accustomed to eating shark fin soup and bird's nest and suddenly being given a hard bun to chew; naturally, it's hard to swallow!
So after cultivating for an hour or two, Su Chen turned off the lights and rested!
The night deepened gradually, enveloping everything in silence!
At this moment, a little golden snake quietly slithered through the door gap into Su Chen's room, then crawled up the bed along the bedpost and slowly glided onto the blanket.
"Hiss hiss!"
Suddenly, the little golden snake flicked out its crimson tongue and darted straight for Su Chen's throat!
"Slash!"
A cold glint flashed, and the little snake was immediately cut into seven or eight segments!
Su Chen got out of bed, looking at the dismembered snake with cold eyes!
He naturally wouldn't consider this sudden snake attack in his room as an accident; it was clearly controlled by someone!
Yet he had just arrived here and hadn't had any grievances with anyone, so who was so impatient?
After dealing with the snake briefly, Su Chen simply went back to sleep; the incident didn't affect him at all!
Upon waking up in the morning, Su Chen went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.
He had just finished eating when Mu Fan and Mu Ling'er arrived!
"Su Bro!"
Upon seeing Su Chen again, Mu Fan immediately gave him a big hug!
"Mu Bro, long time no see!"
Su Chen smiled slightly.
"Mr. Su, welcome to Miaojiang as our guest!"
Mu Ling'er, standing beside Mu Fan, smiled and said.
"Miss Mu, you're even more beautiful than the last two times!"
Su Chen joked, noting that both times he met them before, they were fleeing.
At that time, they were in disarray; talking about beauty was a luxury; maintaining one's life was fortunate!
At this moment, both were dressed in Miao attire, looking rather special!
"Mr. Su, you're teasing me!"
Upon hearing him say this, Mu Ling'er was slightly shy.
Subsequently, Su Chen followed the Mu siblings to Miaojiang.
After a few hours, they arrived outside a dense forest, an untouched, primitive woodland.
Looking up, it stretched endlessly, highlighting its vastness and enormity!
And Miaojiang was situated deep within this forest, well concealed by it!
Without a guide, it would be difficult for outsiders to enter!
"Su Bro, take this pill." Mu Fan handed a pill to Su Chen and said,
"Inside this forest, there are terrifying miasmas and poisonous creatures; this antidote pill will protect you well."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen took it and swallowed it. The Mu siblings also each took one, and the three ventured into the forest...
In this primeval jungle, the foliage was dense, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate. It was quiet, and oddly so!
Not long after they set out, they encountered many poisonous insects and ants, even a few pythons as thick as a small bowl—and they had only just entered the jungle!
At the same time, Su Chen saw some white bones, probably left by those who came to explore Miaojiang!
"By the way, Mu Bro, you mentioned last time that something happened in Miaojiang, but I didn't want to ask over the phone. What exactly happened?"
Su Chen suddenly asked as they walked.
"Hua Xinglong is dead," Mu Fan said.
Su Chen was startled; Hua Xinglong was dead?
Mu Fan had previously explained that in the Miao tribes, there were seven major tribes and many smaller ones, or Miao villages!
Among the seven major tribes, the strongest was the Heavenly Moon Tribe, home to many experts, so the Miao King had almost always been from the Heavenly Moon Tribe!
After the Heavenly Moon Tribe, it was the Cang Lang Tribe and the Red Hawk Tribe, with the other four being more or less on equal footing.
Discontented with the Heavenly Moon Tribe's prolonged hold on the Miao King's throne, the Cang Lang Tribe united with the other five tribes to suddenly attack the Heavenly Moon Tribe!
In that battle, the Cang Lang Tribe drove wolves to swallow tigers, causing all except the Red Hawk Tribe, which never exerted much effort, to suffer significant losses, becoming mere ordinary tribes!
Thus, the Cang Lang Tribe's leader naturally became the new Miao King, and that leader was Hua Xinglong!
In other words, Hua Xinglong was the current Miao King!
Now, hearing from Mu Fan that Hua Xinglong was dead, how could he not be shocked!
"When did this happen? How did he die?"
Su Chen couldn't help but ask...
