Chapter 298 A colossal conspiracy
...It's too late.
The group, no longer able to study the formation, hurriedly ran towards the village chief's house.
Jiang Ruzhen was also extremely anxious at this moment. She suddenly thought of Lu Mingzheng's situation.
Perhaps their initial assumptions were wrong.
It wasn't that the fat woman wanted to control Lu Mingzheng with love spells; it was Old Chen who used some kind of dark magic to control Lu Mingzheng.
As for controlling what he wants to do, think about the current situation between the two countries, and then think about the fate of those half-finished water monkeys.
Jiang Ruzhen's heart trembled as she thought of the worst possible outcome.
If those people from the Ninth Special Operations Bureau hadn't come, Lu Mingzheng would definitely have ended up being controlled by that old Chen and turned into a puppet.
Once he fully obeys Old Chen's orders, then send him back to China.
With Lu Mingzheng's identity, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to collect intelligence on China?
Even using Lu Mingzheng to sabotage the motherland's air force bases, what a huge loss that would cause to the motherland.
Jiang Ruzhen dared not think any further.
She didn't want to waste a second, and Qi Yuefeng also thought of this at this moment. The two of them grabbed one person at the same time.
They instantly teleported back to the village chief's house.
But as soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled a strong stench of blood.
There were many corpses lying haphazardly in the courtyard.
The men who had just been harassing Jiang Ruzhen were all dead, and the village chief's wife and several daughters-in-law lay in pools of blood.
They didn't even spare the seven or eight children, or even the infants in their swaddling clothes; the entire family was wiped out, leaving a deep sea of blood, with not a single chicken or dog spared.
All of them had varying degrees of injuries, their deaths were bizarre, and their faces bore expressions of extreme terror.
The four of them exchanged glances, their hearts heavy with suppressed emotions.
Old Chen was the only one missing. It seems he had anticipated their suspicions and killed his entire family before fleeing.
Jin Sheng angrily punched the earthen wall several times, and sections of the wall collapsed instantly, burying more than a dozen members of the Chen family.
Qi Yuefeng manipulated a drop of Chen family blood in the air by counting on his fingers, muttering incantations.
The drop of blood suddenly seemed to come alive, shooting towards a certain direction on the mountain.
Qi Yuefeng immediately sped off in that direction, yelling, "Chase!"
Jiang Ruzhen grabbed Jin Sheng and Xiao He with one hand and teleported away in a flash, following Qi Yuefeng as they rushed up the mountain.
Before long, they spotted Old Chen fleeing in the dense forest.
With a loud "boom".
Without saying a word, Qi Yuefeng swung his longsword and charged forward.
In the dense forest, the light was dim.
Qi Yuefeng's sword flashed with a cold light, striking towards Old Chen's back with the force of thunder.
Like a bolt of lightning flashing across a cloudy, overcast sky, its light exceptionally dazzling.
Old Chen turned around when he heard the sound, his face filled with fear and shock.
He ran desperately, kicking a stone tablet beside him.
With a loud "boom".
Qi Yuefeng's sword struck an invisible barrier in the air.
What was originally an ordinary mountain peak suddenly became eerily distorted.
Jiang Ruzhen and her team quickly discovered the strange symbols hidden among the trees and rocks in the dense forest.
The patterns and arrangement of the paintings are strikingly similar to the magic circle on the riverbank.
The magic circle had clearly been carefully hidden, and only a wizard skilled in witchcraft could discover its traces.
They even discovered that this formation was much larger than the one by the river.
Looking around, it seemed as if a hidden, evil force was watching them amidst the billowing smoke.
Qi Yuefeng and his fellow senior brothers stood solemnly, not daring to relax in the slightest, and lined up in front of Jiang Ruzhen as if facing a formidable enemy.
This unnamed, deep mountain is shrouded in mist, where time seems to stand still.
Jiang Ruzhen and her group had just won a battle of magic, but now they were caught in an even more severe battle of magic.
When Old Chen saw that Qi Yuefeng and the others had stopped moving, he immediately grinned and sneered with his big yellow teeth.
"I thought your Chinese cultivators were so powerful, but it seems they're nothing special after all! Hehehehe..."
Jin Sheng, Xiao He, and Jiang Ruzhen were all so angry at Old Chen's shameless face that their faces turned ashen. They all looked at their third senior brother, ready to tear Old Chen to pieces at his command.
At this moment, Qi Yuefeng was wearing a moon-white robe, and a few strands of hair under his hair bun moved without wind.
He chanted incantations in front of the magic circle and calmly arranged the talismans.
Seeing this, Jin Sheng and Xiao He also chanted complicated incantations to assist them.
Jiang Ruzhen seemed to see golden spell characters in the air constantly crashing into the non-existent barrier in front of her, with only a series of banging echoes in the air.
The array barrier seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Clouds and mist swirled between the magic arrays, and an eeriness and unease permeated the air.
A light drizzle began to fall, wetting everyone's clothes.
Old Chen's face, which had been arrogantly shouting just moments before, suddenly turned ashen. He then pulled out a bone flute from around his neck and began to play it.
Jiang Ruzhen heard a sharp flute sound spreading everywhere, as if it were lifting the gates of hell.
Sharp screams and strange whispers rose and fell, and twisted figures seemed to wander in the mist, creating a chilling atmosphere.
"Look, they're just ordinary people," Xiao He suddenly shouted.
Jiang Ruzhen squinted and carefully examined the figure emerging from the mist. The figure seemed to be a level above the water monkeys in the river.
They were more like the zombies she had seen in post-apocalyptic zombie movies.
However, these people did not have the horrific holes and wounds on the bodies of zombies; they were more like carefully crafted walking corpses after being poisoned.
Unconsciously, they walked forward in groups, and when they encountered a large tree in their way, they would swing their arms at it, and the tree would fall to the ground.
These aren't mindless puppets; they're clearly a suicide squad of human bombs.
Their bodies have been transformed into impenetrable fortresses, granting them superhuman strength.
If these were deployed to the battlefield, they would form a super-powerful assault team, invincible and unstoppable.
Fortunately, there weren't many people in front of us, only about thirty.
This may be the latest result of the research of the Southern Vietnamese sorcerers, which has not yet been mass-produced.
Jiang Ruzhen was now certain that this old man Chen was definitely a big boss in a secret organization in South Vietnam.
They were really lucky; by some twist of fate, they caught a big fish.
"We cannot let these people leave this mountain alive. We must kill them. We must not allow any force to threaten the security of the country," Qi Yuefeng shouted.
"Yes, senior brother." The three of them responded in unison and rushed towards the group of controlled puppets.
