The gorilla struggled to rise from the ground, fear evident in its eyes.

Before it could recover, Ling Feng's fist met it once again.

Five minutes later, Ling Feng continued forward feeling refreshed, leaving behind only a gorilla beaten into a ball!

Tears welled up in the gorilla's swollen eyes. Why did this skinny little guy possess such immense strength within him?

After defeating several large wild beasts in succession, Ling Feng unleashed his strength vigorously, leaving him feeling refreshed and making his steps lighter!

Glancing at Miao Cloud Ridge in the distance, Ling Feng didn't want to waste time on the road anymore. His aura changed, and a dangerous breath emanated from him, startling the birds in the surrounding jungle into abrupt flight.

Wild beasts have much keener instincts for danger than humans. Ever since Ling Feng had released a hint of Evil Qi, many beasts on Miao Cloud Ridge had watched him with covetous eyes, but were deterred by the Evil Qi he exuded and hesitated to approach!

But it was as if Ling Feng hadn't noticed them at all, walking at a leisurely pace, admiring the scenery as he went.

Surrounded by miasma all year round, the vicinity of Miao Cloud Ridge was like untouched land that hadn't been developed by humans.

Giant ancient trees, rare herbs, and bizarre creatures; this place was like an entirely different world compared to the outside!

Throughout his journey, Ling Feng also sensed many powerful presences, some of which he didn't dare to take lightly!

Finally reaching the peak of Miao Cloud Ridge, there sat two skinny old men facing each other; one wore black clothes—it was Wu Rike, whom he had seen before—while the other, who bore some resemblance to him, was dressed in white.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly!" Wu Rike opened his eyes, surprised to see Ling Feng, and said, "Being able to get this far means you've earned the right to speak with me!"

Ling Feng glanced at Wu Rike, then at the white-clothed old man, and said in a deep voice, "What, the master doesn't dare to speak himself, even now? What's the point of letting a puppet talk!"

The white-clothed elder opened his eyes and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I never thought that after so many years, you would be the first to see that I'm a flesh puppet—and you're so young too. That's quite impressive!"

The white-clothed elder's voice was very raspy, like two dry grinding stones rubbing against each other, grating to the ear. It was evident he hadn't spoken to anyone directly in a long time.

"Who are you?" A serious look flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. The white-clothed old man emanated no sense of danger, and that was precisely why Ling Feng was even more vigilant!

Ling Feng sensed the alertness, and the old man in white laughed, "My name is Wu Rilin, Wu Rike's brother! I have a talent even more outstanding than Wu Rike's, but I was discovered secretly learning the Forbidden Gu and got my legs broken by the elders. They threw me here in Miao Cloud Ridge!"

Ling Feng frowned slightly, but he didn't interrupt Wu Rilin.

"But what they didn't know was that I actually had mastered the Forbidden Gu!" Wu Rilin's voice gradually calmed, and a mocking smile appeared on his ugly face, "Those mediocrities guard a huge treasure but dare not use it. They are a disgrace to wizards! Oh, right, do you know what Forbidden Gu is?"

Ling Feng said indifferently, "How would I know?"

"Forbidden Gu is actually a Gu of Forbidden Technique. The one I mastered, its name is Possession Possession Rebirth Gu!" Wu Rilin chuckled, "Do you know what the Possession Rebirth Gu is? It means that if I put this Gu inside someone else's body, even if my original body dies, I can still return from death by using that person's body to be reborn in!"

Ling Feng's complexion changed involuntarily. If this Gu Technique were true, it would be too terrifying!

"Just to be safe, before anyone else discovered it, I already released the Possession Rebirth Gu into my younger brother's body!" Wu Rilin chuckled, "No one would imagine that Wu Rilin is actually a puppet, a mere extension of myself! Even if I die in Miao Cloud Ridge, I would be reborn through the body of Wu Rike!"

"Why are you telling me all this!" Ling Feng couldn't help but ask as he looked at Wu Rilin.

This person is a madman, to have reached out with malice to his own younger brother decades ago! No wonder the people of the Black Witch lineage are unpopular. There really are many lunatics!

"Of course there's a reason I'm telling you this!" Wu Rilin said indifferently, "But those are events from sixty years ago! Now, a very urgent problem lies before me. No matter if it's my original body or my extension Wu Rike, they are both in their twilight years, their vitality fading. If I don't find a new extension, I might very well die. My target was originally my obedient disciple, Wu Ling. Among the new generation of the Black Witch lineage, his talent is not bad; barely enough to be my puppet substitute!"

"But his strength is a massive drawback. I wanted to nurture him to the Early Stage of S level before using the Gu, but unexpectedly, you came along out of nowhere and killed the material I had my eye on! Should I not be very angry?" Wu Rilin said indifferently.

Ling Feng inhaled sharply. From Wu Rilin's words, he realized that Wu Rilin actually wanted to use the Possession Rebirth Gu to transfer into someone else's body to achieve immortality! It was simply too crazy!

Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural Laws; no matter how powerful a master is, they cannot escape the control of time! Even those peak masters who live longer can't completely evade the destiny of life!

"I was indeed very angry!" Wu Rilin looked at Ling Feng, licked his lips, and a faint green light shone in his eyes, "But when I saw you for the first time, I suddenly found out that you are an even better material than Wu Ling! As long as I implant the Possession Rebirth Gu in you, I could transfer into your body. Wouldn't this count as a blessing in disguise?"

Ling Feng said indifferently, "You've said so much to me, it's just to buy time to activate the Gu Technique you've secretly arranged, right? But I'm curious, if you can be reborn using Wu Rike's body, why does your original body still need to stay in Miao Cloud Ridge? If I'm not wrong, you haven't left Miao Cloud Ridge in sixty years, have you?"

"Heh heh heh! That's right, I indeed haven't left Miao Cloud Ridge for the past sixty years," Wu Rilin chuckled, "Now I see you in a new light. I did not expect you to remain so composed to this moment. Since you know I've secretly activated my Gu Technique, just accept your fate!"
