What did you say? Zhao Hu and they lost contact?
After hearing Little Bean's words in the Poison Mound, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Previously, Chi Hong joined Tianfati to deal with them, but when Miaofei Yuhu discovered it, he rushed over to follow it.
To be on the safe side, Chen Mo sent Zhao Jia's siblings to secretly protect him. To facilitate communication, he also asked Little Bean to infuse the insects in them, so that he could know their current situation at any time.
However, just a few days have passed, and they have lost contact. That means the insects infused in Zhao Jia's siblings have disappeared.
This is not good news. Perhaps they have already been killed.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo's expression grew serious.
"Brother, the contact has indeed been severed. I think we should do this directly, go in and fight. After all, you want to destroy Tianfati, and we can take this opportunity to move against them."
Little Bean looked serious, she had once dealt with Tianfati before, she knew this force was a disaster. It not only made things difficult for Chen Mo, but also interfered in the affairs of the Poison Mound. At the moment, she couldn't wait to lead a large army to destroy Tianfati.
Anyway, she had already taken over the position of the master of the Poison Mound and subdued the Twelve Caves. As long as she gave an order, there would be plenty of people to assist her.
Destroying Tianfati is not a problem.
"No, do not be reckless"
Chen Mo shook his head lightly, "Although you are the master of the Poison Mound and can command the twelve cave experts, that Tianfati's Miao Wu is not an easy opponent. He is a first-grade cultivator with extremely strong power."
"Facing such high-level experts, the twelve caves might possibly turn against us at that time if they don't recognize your authority. We need a chance, a suitable opportunity to act."
"Let's do this. I'll go to Ta Yan Mountain first to see what's happening over there..."
Chen Mo made a suggestion, which Little Bean had no choice but to accept.
So, Chen Mo took Murong Ge to Tai Yan Mountain.
As for Little Bean and Chu Ruomeng, they gathered the twelve cave experts and followed behind them. All unforeseen circumstances, they will jointly punish Tianfati.
The journey from the Poison Mound to Tai Yan Mountain took two days, and Chen Mo and Mu Qiuge hurried day and night, finally arriving at the vicinity in a day and a half.
Tai Yan Mountain is located in the remote mountains and forests of Miaojiang. Endless mountains lie here, and there is only one village within a radius of a hundred miles nearby.
Within the village, there were none but the rugged mountain villagers.
However, that was only a facade. Chen Mo knew that these so-called mountain villagers were just impersonators of Tianfati's people.
This village located near Tai Yan Mountain is a forward base of Tianfati. The villagers are all sentinels, and if anything happens, they will react immediately. At that time, the Tianfati army will launch an attack, regardless of who or what comes, it will be instantly defeated.
In order to maintain the secrecy of Tianfati, anyone who comes here is never allowed to leave alive.
Chen Mo and Mu Qiuge did not enter the village boldly. A few miles away from the village, he first sent her insects to scout inside the situation.
Mu Qiuge gently waved her hand, and she saw that suddenly there were several small black worms in her palm. In an instant, the worms scattered on the ground and vanished into thin air.
These past few days, Mu Qiuge has been studying the use of the Thousand-Face Bee, which includes methods for gathering intelligence. This is why Chen Mo had her follow along.
After a while, Mu Qiuge spoke, "I've seen it. There are many villagers in the village, but their actions seem abnormal..."
"Not normal?"
"Odd?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly. He remembered that the Tianfati members in this village had always been cautious, hiding their true identities as much as possible, showing no signs of abnormality.
Could it be because Mu Qiuge was secretly investigating that they found abnormalities?
"They captured a lot of people, um... It seems they want to send them to the Tianjia prison in the mountains behind the village..."
Mu Qiuge's ears twitched. Besides having the same vision as the worms, she could also hear the sounds from across the way.
Chen Mo took a deep breath and asked, "What kind of people are they?"
"They are not ordinary people, they are... Body warriors."
"Body warriors? It's odd that they're capturing body warriors. What could be the reason?"
Chen Mo furrowed his brow, thinking darkly, as if asking Mu Qiuge, or as if muttering to himself.
"The head man ordered us to use body warriors, so we need to capture them..."
Mu Qiuge repeated the information she had heard, word by word.
"Now, they have gone to the mountains behind the village... Should I follow them?"
Mu Qiuge turned around, curious and staring at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo shook his head lightly, "Your worms are very suitable for gathering intelligence, but the mountains behind are too far away. If we send them there, there's a risk of them being exposed and alerting the enemy; but if we get closer to the mountains ourselves, then we risk exposure as well."
"Moreover, the mountains behind are the main base of Tianfati. The environment inside is complex. It's not easy to gather intelligence. I think it's better if I go myself."
"It's too dangerous"
Mu Qiuge exclaimed in alarm and firmly rejected Chen Mo's proposal. With Miao Wu coming for Chen Mo specifically, it would be like walking into a trap if he went in on his own.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't go in using my real identity. Your Thousand-Face Bee can disguise people, right? Help me with that and I'll go in disguised."
"The village people? But your technique is still green, and I haven't mastered it yet..."
"Not necessary, just a simple disguise of one face. It doesn't have to be perfect; just enough to prevent them from knowing my real identity."
"But how can you infiltrate the place like that?"
Chen Mo chuckled, "They are capturing body warriors, and coincidentally, I am a body warrior myself."
Tai Yan Mountain, Tianfati Grand Hall
Miao Wu slung his hands over his shoulders, walked back and forth in the hall, then turned to look at the third headman in the distance, "How is the task you assigned to you going?"
The third headman was a middle-aged man with a scholarly air. Upon hearing Miao Wu's words, he slightly nodded and spoke softly: "My respects to the great leader. I have already sent people out to look for body warriors. Although my state of Miaozhou is famous for its shamanism, there are also many body warriors here. Last month, there was a guy who brought in a large number of them, hehe, I dispatched my subordinates to find them, almost uprooted them completely."
"But, my lord, I don't know why you need to capture so many body warriors?"
Miao Wu's expression changed slightly, and he helplessly said: "It's all because of Chen Mo. I couldn't kill him within the secret realm. If the master knows, I will definitely get into trouble. Now, the web has already been urging for further action, and we can no longer keep it a secret. We have to find another way."
"So, these body warriors are to be offered to the master?"
The third headman asked curiously.
"Yes, that's right."
Miao Wu nodded slightly, "The master wanted to refine an immortal body in Qingzhou before, but Chen Mo ruined it. But it was that opportunity that gave him an important piece of information: body warriors are better suited for refining immortal bodies. A ninth-grade body warrior is more powerful than dozens of ordinary people. The higher the level, the better the effect."
"I know the master will certainly hold me accountable, but if I can capture a large group of body warriors, even high-level ones, before he questions me, he might let me atone for my sins with my achievements..."
The third headman nodded suddenly, bowing his hands and smiling: "The master's wisdom is truly outstanding."
"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and capture more body warriors. Don't screw up my plans."
