  Everyone was overjoyed as they expressed their gratitude. Towards this, the village head only nodded his head in acknowledgement, then turned to Feng Yong and said, "Bring him back to rest!"

  A few disciples of Mystical Peak stepped forward to help, supporting Li Meng, they followed Feng Yong and left.

  Han Chen cupped his fists, and bowed respectfully to the village head, "Thank you village head for helping me out, I am eternally grateful."

  "No worries, it was just a small effort." "You're welcome." The village chief waved his hands and asked, "According to Feng Yong, you are currently being attacked by the Blood-Thirsty Poison Insects?"

  "Yes, we were accidentally ambushed and trapped by the poisonous bugs."

  "A sneak attack?" Feng Shan frowned, his old eyes narrowed, after pondering for a short while, he said in a deep voice, "Good plan, the people who plotted against you, are the people who live in our psychedelic forest."

  "Village Chief, how did you know?" Han Chen was surprised, and looked at the people beside him.

  "The Vampiric Poison Beetle loves the flesh of the Green Silk Demon the most. As long as they could smell the scent of the Green Silk Demon, they would go crazy. First, you were ambushed, then you killed the green threaded demon, and then you attracted the poisonous bugs. They did not dare to fight you head on, and used this method, which only the locals of psychedelic forest could think of. "

  Listening to the Village Chief Feng Shan's explanation, everyone felt their scalps go numb and their backs turned cold. This was indeed an arduous and sinister plan. It was really outrageous.

  "But what I don't understand." Feng Shan lifted his eyelids, and swept his gaze across Han Chen and the others, "People who live in this forest rarely take the initiative to provoke others. They were obviously prepared to go against you. "

  Han Chen immediately understood what he meant, and answered witesolute expression, "Village Chief, we just arrived at psychedelic forest not long ago. I definitely haven't provoked them. "

  "Is that so? "That's strange." Feng Shan squinted his eyes and said softly, "I wonder if you can tell me your purpose in coming here?"

  After circling around for a bit, he finally got down to the main topic.

  Han Chen turned to look at Shen Yu, Li Yun, Huayun City and a few others, then nodded his head, and began to explain the general purpose of his visit to the psychedelic forest. He had also told the other party that all of them were disciples of the Mystical Peak.

  After all, it was not a secret that so many sects had come. Moreover, if not for the help from Phoenix Village, Li Meng would probably have gone to see Hades.

  "Natural phenomenon?" Feng Shan frowned, and fell into deep thought. After a brief moment of silence, he nodded slightly, "Since so many people have come, it won't be empty talk. Fine! You can stay in the village for the time being! I will do my best to help you find out the truth. "

  When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed. He never thought that Feng Shan would be so easy to talk to. Feng Shan's intention was actually very simple. He would help them complete their mission and send them away as soon as possible. The reason he did so was because he didn't want those sects and clans outside to ruin their peaceful lives.

  The citizens of the psychedelic forest were weak in the first place. The amount of people who came from these sects was enough to affect their normal lives.

  "Village Chief Feng Shan, I still have something that I am not sure about."

  "Go ahead."

  "Who was the one that ambushed us?" Han Chen voiced out the doubts in his heart.

  Feng Shan sighed, and then replied, "psychedelic forest haotal of four tribes. They are Lion Village, Panther Village, Wolf Village and our Phoenix Village. I can guarantee that the one who will attack you won't be from our Phoenix Village. Of the remaining three villages, Wolf Village is the closest. "

  Lion Village, Panther Village, Wolf Village, Phoenix Village!

  Just these four names were already strange enough. Those who didn't know better would think that it was the nest of a group of animals. Han Chen naturally understood that the other three villages were also about the same as Phoenix Village. As for why he was given such a strange name, there should bidden reason.

  "Wolf Village?" Li Yun, Shen Yu and a few others discussed softly.

  "I cannot guarantee. However, I believe that it might be that someone else sought for Wolf Village's help with the intention of getting rid of all of you." Feng Shan expressed his opinion. He had lived in this mountain for seventy to eighty years, so he was very familiar with the situation of each village. Based on his understanding, Wolf Village would not kill outsiders for no reason.

  Feng Shan's one sentence, another sentence, jolted the person from his dreams.

  "Tianshan Sect, it must be Tianshan Sect." Li Yun subconsciously shouted out. The answers in the hearts of the others, were also pointing towards the Tianshan Sect.

  "It's them, despicable and shameless things."

  "This is simply too shameful."

  A few disciples could not help but scold. Huayun City glanced over and laughed coldly, "If the people of Tianshan Sect were to secretly make a move, then we can only blame them for being impulsive and hurting us first."

  Huayun City's words directly targeted Han Chen. Shen Yu frowned and retorted, "What qualifications do you have to say something like that?"

  "You?"

  "Alright, stop arguing." Han Chen immediately stopped the two people, turned and cupped his fists and bowed to Feng Shan, "Village head, thank you for answering our questions. In the next few days, we will be disturbing your village.

  "Hehe, it's fine!" Feng Shan smiled and waved his hand, then ordered Feng San who was beside him: "Third brother, preparoom and bring these guests to rest first."

  Third Uncle Feng nodded and made a small inviting gesture with his hand. "Everyone, please follow me!"

  "Thank you, Third Uncle Feng."

  After Han Chen and the rest left, Feng Shan was the only one left in the hall. Xiao Yan muttered to himself as he gently lifted his turbid old eyes and flapped his shrivelled lips.

  "It's a natural phenomenon. It seems like it's not being honest again. Sigh! I hope it doesn't involve the innocent villagers. "

  Just like this, Han Chen and his group settled down in Phoenix Village. Hearing that there were guests outside, the entire village was stirred up. Many people came forward to greet them. They were especially curious about these outsiders, especially the children.

  Han Chen liked children more, so he would also give them the pastries he brought. At this moment, he thought of the pitiful boy from the village that he had arrived on the first day.

  In the blink of an eye, two days had passed. Li Meng still had not awakened, and thus, they had not dared to take any actions to investigate the affairs of the psychedelic forest. However, his life in this quiet little village was quite comfortable.

  Han Chen now had a general understanding of the situation in Phoenix Village. What surprised him was that not a single person in the village had an innate divine ability. It wasn't just Phoenix Village. Even Wolf Village, Lion Village, and Panther Village didn't have any innate divine abilities.

  One had to know that this was in the outside world. Innate divine abilities represented power. Han Chen had a deep understanding of this point. It was because of the late awakening of his sacred art that people mistakenly thought it was a "useless sacred art". This leads to utter humiliation and contempt.

  Not only did the villagers in psychedelic forest not have any innate abilities, the cultivation method they trained in was also very rare. The only thing that gave them an advantage over normal people was their sturdy physique.

  In his spare time, he had heard Feng Yong talk about it. Once, when the latter was hunting a magical beast in the mountains, its belly was cut open by a sharp horn while it was dealing with a fire rhinoceros, and even its intestines flowed out.

  If it was a normal perso
n, he would definitely die. Feng Yong endured the pain and stabbed his weapon into the rhinoceros's head. He then started to bandage her, and in less than a month, she had fully recovered.

  After Han Chen heard this, he did not quite believe it. Only when the other villagers confirmed and saw the centipede-like scar on Feng Yong's abdomen did they finally believe it.

  The likes of them dealt with magical beasts every day. His body was especially sturdy. Most of them were around the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining. The strongest man in Phoenix Village was actually Feng Yong, at the sixth level of Qi Refining. It was much worse than he had expected. From this, it could be seen that the psychedelic forest was indeed very far behind.

  However, when paired with their robust physiques, their combat strength was far greater than an ordinary martial artist of the same level.

  Of course, in this place, experience was a level higher than strength. Li Meng was the best example, a powerhouse at the third level of mastery. On the surface, it did not seem like he was on par with the psychedelic forest, but it was hard to find an opponent for him. In reality, just a few men from Wolf Village had almost taken the lives of the entire group.

  The gentle sunlight shone down on the little village.

  Han Chen walked in the village and greeted the villagers who were passing by. Over the past few days, the enthusiastic villagers had become familiar with them.

  Unknowingly, Han Chen strolled training grounds. Although he said it was a martial arts training field, the children in the village only liked to play and play here.

  At the center of the training field stood a dark stone sculpture. It was a sculpture of a phoenix, vivid and lifelike. Every feather and every grain was quite real. The phoenix spread out its wings, covering nearly twenty meters.

  These few days, when Han Chen passed by, he would also see this sculpture. After a brief observation, he prepared to leave. But when he turned around, Han Chen's body suddenly released a light energy wave.

  Chapter 50 - Flaming Phoenix Clan

  Han Chen couldn't help but stop. What was going on? Was that the notification from the The Supreme Divine Diagram?

  He turned around and once again directed his gaze at the Phoenix Statue in front of him. After some thought, he slowly walked towards the other party. The sculpture was about ten meters tall.

  The phoenix, with its wings spread out, looked down at the ground. Its phoenix eyes showed its might even though it was not angry. Han Chen's face was solemn, but in his heart, there was actually a trace of unspeakable nervousness.

  "What's going on? Wasn't it just a sculpture? Why do I have a kind of palpitation? "

  Han Chen took a deep breath and stopped less than a meter away from the sculpture. It was at this time that he clearly felt the restlessness of the The Supreme Divine Diagram in his body.

  With regards to the divine diagram's prompting, Han Chen basically did not have any doubts. Could it be that this sculpture was hiding some sort of secret that was not recognized?

  "This is the faith of our village." A soft female voice was heard.

  "Hmm?" Han Chen was startled at first, but when he turned around, he saw a seventeen to eighteen year old girl standing not far away from him. The woman was tall and had delicate facial features. Its slightly black skin gave it a wild beauty.

  "Sorry to bother you. My name is Feng Ying, the granddaughter of the village chief, and also Feng Yong's younger sister. "

  Hearing the other party's introduction, Han Chen was a little surprised. He knew about the relationship between Feng Yong and the Village Chief. But he didn't know he had a sister.

  "I'm Han Chen. It's nice to meet Miss Feng Ying."

  "Hur hur, is everyone so polite when talking to outsiders?" Feng Ying smiled faintly, revealing her pure white teeth. He then walked over witint of curiosity in his eyes.

  "I'm fine!" Not all of them. "

  "I heard you are from the Mystical Peak?"

  "Hmm, what's wrong?"

  "I've also seen someone from the Mystical Peak before."

  "What?" Han Chen was given a fright by the other party's words, and half believed and asked, "Before? "When?"

  "When I was seven! At that time, I went into the mountains to play alone. When I accidentally met an elephant with long hair, someone saved me and said that he was from Mystical Peak. "

  Han Chen was stunned. At seven? That was more than ten years ago. Did someone from the Mystical Peak come to the psychedelic forest at that time? Han Chen looked straight at Feng Ying; the other party's eyes were pure, without the slightest bit of panic or flicker. This also proved that what she said was most likely true.

  "What was the man's name?"

  "He didn't say." Feng Ying shook her head.

  "Then what does he look like? Do you remember? "

  "I can't remember." Feng Ying still shook her head. A dozen years ago, even adults might not be able to remember these memories clearly, much less a seven-year-old child.

  Han Chen fell into deep thought. Ten-odd years ago, someone from the Mystical Peak came here. What did it have to do with the current phenomenon? Han Chen frowned, and couldn't help but think back to the red pillar of light that he had encountered at the foot of the mountain when he and Shen Yu had returned to the Mystical Peak from Red-Star City.

  Why must it be the Mystical Peak? Han Chen could not understand no matter how much he thought about it.

  "Are you interested in the faith of our village?" At this time, Feng Ying changed the topic to sculpture.

  "Eh?" Han Chen was startled, then laughed: "No, I just think that this sculpture is especially realistic."

  "Of course, I'll tell you another secret. Everyone in our village is a descendant of the Flaming Phoenix! Hee hee, you must be surprised! "

  "Flaming Phoenix?" Han Chen lifted his head, observing the entire sculpture's shape. Its domineering aura leaked out, and the phoenix eyes gave birth to power. What about the other villages? What is faith? "

  "Wolf Village's faith is the Sky Wolf, Lion Village's faith is the Holy Lion, and Panther Village's faith is the Black Panther. In their villages, they also have their own sculptures of faith. "

  Based on what he said, the four villagers in psychedelic forest are all descendants that they believe in, right?

  "Do you believe me?"

  "What?"

  "We are the descendants of the Flame Phoenix Clan!" Feng Ying blinked her large eyes as a mischievous expression hung on her face.

  Han Chen rubbed his nose and nodded, "I do."

  "Haha, you really believe that? Stupid, even we don't believe in these things! "

  Feng Ying covered her mouth as she chuckled. Her delicate eyebrows were filled with a sense of pride. The corner of Han Chen's eyes twitched, what the heck was this? After speaking so much in a daze, he was clearly fooled by the other party. Now that he thought about it, that whatever "someone who met the Mystical Peak when he was seven", was most likely fake as well.

  At this moment, a clamor came from the direction of the village entrance.

  "What happened? "Let's go take a look." Feng Ying quickly ran in that direction. Han Chen hesitated slightly, but immediately followed.

  When they got closer, they saw that the villagers who were out hunting had returned. However, this time, they did not bring any rich prey. Instead, they brought their wounds back with them.

  The most serious one had his chest pierced by an arrow and was supported by two people.

  This kind of situation rarely happened before. Hearing the commotion, Shen Yu, Li Yun, Huayun City and other disciples of the Mystical Peak all ran out to check on the situation.

  "What's going on?" A cold and stern voice came over. The crowd parted to form a path, it was precisely the village chief, Feng Shan. Feng Sanniang and Feng Yong followed behind him.

  "Fenggang, what's going on? "Who did it?"

  "Who else?" He wiped the blood off his face and said, "The people from Wolf Village have crossed our li
ne and taken our prey. I started arguing with them, and they started fighting. "

  "Bastard, the people of Wolf Village are too impudent." Feng Yong was so angry that he started cursing, "How many people came? I'm going to kill them all right now. "

  "Feng Yong, don't be rash." Feng Shan shouted coldly.

  "There aren't many of them, only about twenty or so."

  "What?" More than twenty of you have been beaten to such a state? "

  The surrounding villagers were also feeling a little uncomfortable. There were more than 40 people on Fenggang's side. Nearly twice as many people came from Wolf Village. In this situation, not only had the prey been stolen, but so many people had been injured as well. It was unbelievable.

  "Wolf, Lang Qiu's strength is much stronger than before. I am no match for him. Moreover, many of their powers have increased by a lot. " Fenggang lowered his head and his voice became softer and softer.

  Lang Qiu was the grandson of the Wolf Village village chief, she was their village's famous genius. At the same time, the two of them were enemies with Feng Yong. Every time they met in the forest, some of them would curse loudly while the others would attack. Hearing Fenggang's words, Feng Yong's face immediately darkened.

  "Ai!" Village Chief Feng Shan sighed and waved his hand, "You should go down first to recuperate! We can discuss about other matters later. "

  "Yes, Village Chief."

  Fenggang left with the injured villagers. Feng Yong gritted his teeth in anger, and said fiercely: "Village Chief, let me take some people to kill all those bastards! They've gone too far. "

  "That's right, Village Head, let's fight back!"

  "The people of Wolf Village are becoming more and more arrogant. Let's fight it out with them."

  The surrounding villagers voiced their agreement. It was obvious that there were many contradictions between their relationship with Wolf Village. Han Chen squinted his eyes as he pondered. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Feng Ying beside him. His face was filled with worry as he pursed his red lips, worry evident in her eyes.

  "Stop arguing." Village Chief Feng Shan waved his hand, and scolded with a serious expression: "Be quiet, all of you listen to me. Our four villages have lived in the forest for hundreds or even thousands of years. There were countless small frictions. It would not be beneficial for anyone to start a fight over such a small matter. It's not easy to live here. "
