Chapter 430: Finally Arrived

The tip of the tongue flicked out by the giant snake was comparable in size to half an adult human.

One can judge the whole by observing a part.

Just how massive is Da Hei's current size?

Da Hei ignored the other two-legged beasts.

It lowered its snake head directly.

"Are you asking me to stand on it?"

As Cheng Feng guessed this, a voice echoed in the depths of his mind.

"Yes, yes, Master, I have grown so much."

The mere sound of that mature woman's voice was enough to induce a cranial orgasm.

Cheng Feng looked at Da Hei's figure with some surprise, but his movements were not slow.

With a jump from where he stood, he leaped onto the snake's head.

Seeing Cheng Feng suddenly jump, everyone was startled.

"Cheng Feng, don't!"

"Senior Brother!"

"Little Feng!"

But seeing the giant snake offer no resistance,

the look of horror on everyone's faces faded, replaced by a slight flush.

The surrounding Hong Sect disciples also gathered around one after another, their eyes flashing with excitement. They whispered to each other, discussing it heatedly.

"The Sect Master is truly amazing, to be able to tame even such a giant beast!"

"With this giant snake, what do we have to fear from the Red Lotus Rebels!"

"The rise of our Hong Sect is just around the corner!"

All sorts of conjectures made everyone's hearts surge with excitement.

The higher one's Martial Dao cultivation, the more one could feel Da Hei's surging Qi and Blood.

The moonlight was like gauze.

Da Hei raised its head, a slender figure standing atop the giant beast's head.

Cheng Feng naturally would not tell everyone that this was also his first time seeing Da Hei in such a massive form.

Cheng Feng stood steadily upon Da Hei's massive head, facing the gazes of the crowd—some astonished, some admiring, some puzzled—his expression as calm as water.

Da Hei slowly lifted its head, its enormous body twisting slightly, its snake tongue flicking out from time to time, emitting a faint hissing sound as if responding to Cheng Feng's commands.

The tip of its tongue, comparable to half an adult's size, swayed gently, shimmering with a cold, eerie luster under the moonlight, making one unable to help but feel a sense of awe.

Jin Ying gazed at Cheng Feng, her eyes filled with complex emotions: surprise, admiration, and a trace of imperceptible worry.

She asked softly, "Senior Brother, is this giant snake... truly reliable?"

Cheng Feng turned his head slightly to look at Jin Ying, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he said, "Junior Sister, rest assured, Da Hei will not harm us. Moreover, with it here, we have a bit more confidence when facing the Red Lotus Rebels."

Wang Tieshan laughed heartily, "Little Feng, you lad always manage to bring us surprises. With this giant snake so powerful and its assistance, why should we worry about failing to gain a foothold in these chaotic times!"

"Alright, everyone, don't just keep discussing." Cheng Feng raised his hand to signal for silence, then said, "The purpose of this trip is to settle down in Hong Village, recuperate, and prepare for what comes next. Now, let us continue our journey!"

The crowd responded and, led by Da Hei, continued to advance toward Hong Village.

Da Hei's massive body wove through the mountain forest; wherever it passed, wild beasts scattered, as if making way for this king.

As they ventured deeper into the forest, the surrounding atmosphere grew increasingly quiet. The occasional sound of insects and the rustling of wind through the leaves added a touch of mystery to the atmosphere.

"Senior Brother, what is the current situation in the Hong Village you mentioned?" Jin Ying walked to Cheng Feng's side and asked softly.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Feng decided to be frank: "Hong Village is a retreat I carefully selected, and I have already arranged for people to come ahead of time to make preparations.

However, the situation is chaotic now, and the Red Lotus Rebels are causing trouble everywhere, so we cannot let our guard down.

Once we arrive at Hong Village, we will first understand the situation before making further plans."

Jin Ying nodded and said, "Senior Brother has considered everything thoroughly. It's just that we are bringing so many people; if we encounter any danger in Hong Village, how should we respond?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Junior Sister, do you know how many people are in Hong Village?"

"Junior Sister does not know."

"Let me give you the bottom line, Junior Sister: there are at least ten thousand people in Hong Village, all of whom are the families of my Hong Sect disciples.

Plus the rest of my Hong Sect disciples, what danger do you think we will encounter?"

Jin Ying's small mouth opened slightly, unable to close for a long time.

"Ten thousand people???"

"Families???"

You have done far too good a job with this secrecy.

The person closest to Cheng Feng was Wang Tieshan.

Hearing the content of their casual chat, he too could not calm down for a long time.

Has the Hong Sect developed to be this impressive?

Am I not watching it every single day?

What is going on here???

Led by Da Hei, the group finally arrived at Hong Village.

Hong Village was hidden within a valley, surrounded by high mountains on all sides, with only a narrow path leading out of the village, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the village entrance, several Hong Sect disciples had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Cheng Feng and the others arrive, they hurried forward, their faces beaming with joyful smiles.

"Sect Master, you have finally arrived!" one disciple said excitedly.

Cheng Feng nodded and asked, "How is the situation in the village? Have there been any traces of the Red Lotus Rebels discovered in the surrounding area?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "Sect Master, rest assured, everything in the village is normal, and no traces of the Red Lotus Rebels have been discovered in the surrounding area. We have already made defensive preparations according to your instructions."

Cheng Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Everyone, settle down first and take a rest. Once we have regained our energy, we will discuss the next step of the plan."

The group responded in acknowledgment and walked into the village one after another.

Hong Village was built against the mountain, with houses arranged in a scattered yet orderly fashion, appearing very quiet and peaceful.

Seeing so many people arrive, the villagers were somewhat surprised, but they did not show any panic; instead, they greeted everyone warmly.

Cheng Feng led Jin Ying, Wang Tieshan, and the others to a large courtyard in the village, which was the place he had arranged beforehand.

Walking into the courtyard, Cheng Feng let everyone sit down and rest first.

Then he headed straight to where Wei Zhuang was, as the upcoming arrangements were of vital importance.

Perhaps sensing Cheng Feng, a surge of Sword momentum rushed straight toward him.

Cheng Feng laughed and said, "Good, very good, this is a step further."

The main gate opened without any wind.

Wei Zhuang had already prepared wine and food.

"You have finally come."

The young man in black clothes and white hair possessed an imposing aura.

Looking at the grinning Cheng Feng, he always felt a sense of powerlessness.

"You really are a good hands-off Shopkeeper."

Cheng Feng felt perfectly at ease: "Isn't this a case of the capable doing more work?

Brother Wei has a strategic mind and great ambitions, so naturally, you need to show your talents."

Listening to Cheng Feng's praise, Wei Zhuang remained expressionless and skipped directly to the point: "Then I will tell you about the intelligence I have gathered."

Cheng Feng put away his smile and sat up straight.
