Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 54 – Operation Infiltrate the Witch’s Village
Just as Gu Feng was hesitating, the door to the room suddenly swung open. Gu Xuanyuan staggered in, his eyes bleary from drink, and looked at Gu Feng, muttering, "I'm back! That was some good drinking!"
The moment Gu Feng saw Gu Xuanyuan, a light bulb went off in his mind!
Suddenly, everything became clear!
He silently signaled to Hou Yixiao with his eyes.
Hou Yixiao quickly and obediently helped Gu Xuanyuan to sit down on a Buddhist mat.
With his vast experience in the martial world, Gu Xuanyuan immediately sensed something was off and asked suspiciously, "What are you two up to? Are you planning some scheme and need me to cooperate?"
Smiling, Gu Feng poured a cup of tea for Gu Xuanyuan and handed it to him personally, saying, "Thirteenth Uncle, this time, I really need your help! Only you can do this!"

Offering unsolicited kindness usually means there's an ulterior motive!
Gu Xuanyuan smiled wryly and asked, "Alright, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
With a smile, Gu Feng laid out all the schemes he and Hou Yixiao had been up to over the past few days, including how they had set up the unfortunate Tuoba Zhu and discovered the relationship between the four major Witch's Villages in the Northern Wilderness and the Nine Tribulations Witch King.
Gu Xuanyuan listened in silence, his brow furrowed.
When Gu Feng finished, Gu Xuanyuan slowly took a sip of tea to sober up and said, "Do you really think I've just been drinking with old Jiang these past two days?"
"I specifically asked old Jiang about the Nine Tribulations Witch King. According to him, this person suddenly emerged at the Northern Wilderness border in the past century. His cultivation is around the seventh level of the Spirit Dividing realm. He excels at manipulating Gu insects and acts with ruthless precision, his methods shrouded in mystery. Even old Jiang is wary of him."
Pausing, Gu Xuanyuan continued, "The four major Witch's Villages you investigated are merely puppet regimes controlled by the Nine Tribulations Witch King at the border. He uses them to harvest cultivation resources. Old Jiang suspects his lair is deep within the Northern Wilderness, at its very heart!"
Gu Feng remained silent. If the Nine Tribulations Witch King's lair was indeed in the heart of the Northern Wilderness, their current venture might end in failure.
The heart of the Northern Wilderness was truly perilous!
Unlike the Eastern Region, Southern Barbarian, or Western Territory, the Northern Wilderness adhered to the principle of survival of the fittest.
The Northern Wilderness also had supreme beings like the Divine King of the Eastern Region!
The rulers of the four major continents were: Eastern God, Western Buddha, Southern Demon, and Northern Gu.
And the supreme being of the Northern Wilderness was the legendary creator of the Gu path—the Northern Wilderness Gu Immortal!
However, this legendary figure was only interested in harvesting chives and never established a comprehensive social power structure like the successive Divine Kings of the Eastern Region for effective governance and control!
He allowed the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness to slaughter and attack each other.
Those with the ability survived!
As for those without, being killed was just their fate.
Thus, the Northern Wilderness was a favorite haunt for many demonic cultivators.
Because there were no rules here!
Slaughter and chaos were the eternal themes of the Northern Wilderness!
Cultivators who survived here were battle-hardened, blood-soaked, and ruthless!
No matter how long your family history, show weakness, and disaster would swiftly follow!
The Northern Wilderness Gu Immortal treated the entire Northern Wilderness as his cultivation artifact.
And the cultivators within were the various Gu insects in his artifact!
These Gu insects would fight each other, and the last one standing was the strongest and most valuable!
A life-and-death struggle, a bloody transformation!
This was the method used to refine Gu!
For a moment, Gu Feng felt it was extremely tricky. If it was as Gu Xuanyuan said, to lure the Nine Tribulations Witch King to the border's four major Witch's Villages, they would have to create an offer he couldn't refuse!
Either a huge temptation of profit or an unprecedented crisis!
But all of this depended on Gu Feng and his group infiltrating the internal structure of the four major Witch's Villages. Only then could they plan their next move!

Thinking of this, Gu Feng no longer hesitated. He stood up and said to Gu Xuanyuan, "Thirteenth Uncle, please go to the City Lord's mansion again. No matter what, you must persuade Uncle Jiang to insert us into the caravan heading to the border Witch's Villages!"
"You want to use the caravan to infiltrate the four major Witch's Villages and then make your move?" Gu Xuanyuan, with centuries of cultivation experience, immediately guessed Gu Feng's plan.
Narrowing his eyes, Gu Feng admitted, "Exactly. Only by shaking the Nine Tribulations Witch King's fundamental interests at the Northern Wilderness border can we lure him out personally, giving us a chance to capture him alive!"
Where were the Nine Tribulations Witch King's fundamental interests?
Naturally, it was the cultivation resources in the thousands of miles of the Northern Wilderness border, all controlled by the four major Witch's Villages!
Therefore, the plan to infiltrate the caravan was imperative!
Nodding silently, Gu Xuanyuan thoughtfully stroked his chin. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go see old Jiang again. That old fellow is so timid. As soon as he hears I'm looking to trouble the Nine Tribulations Witch King, he wants to stay out of it. If he doesn't agree to let us into the caravan, I'll camp out at his City Lord's mansion!"
With Gu Xuanyuan's promise, Gu Feng felt much more at ease. After some thought, he added, "Thirteenth Uncle, once we successfully infiltrate the caravan, I have another arrangement for you."
"You brat! Why are you so crafty?!"
Gu Xuanyuan chuckled, rubbing his forehead.
With a sheepish grin, Gu Feng said, "After we set off with the caravan into the Northern Wilderness border, wait for my signal. When the time is right, use the flying kite as a signal, and immediately send Zuo Yuan and Black Feather, the two celestial generals, into the depths of the Northern Wilderness. Spread the word that they're here specifically to trouble the Nine Tribulations Witch King, telling him to wash his neck and wait for execution!"
Hearing this, Hou Yixiao couldn't help but slap his thigh and praise, "Brilliant! Truly brilliant! What a clever feint! This way, the Nine Tribulations Witch King will surely flee to the border to avoid the Thirteenth Master's might!"
Gu Feng nodded, a cold smile playing on his lips, "By then, we'll catch him like a turtle in a jar, all in one fell swoop!"
Raising his eyebrows, Gu Xuanyuan looked at Gu Feng in surprise. He was somewhat shocked at how crafty this kid had become!
He even felt a bit sorry for the Nine Tribulations Witch King. A mighty figure at the Spirit Dividing realm, being so thoroughly outmaneuvered by a junior! Where could he go to complain?!
Shaking his head helplessly, Gu Xuanyuan felt he was getting old, unable to keep up with the young people's thoughts. He put down his teacup and strode out of the room without looking back.
Riding his light, Gu Xuanyuan flew towards the City Lord's mansion, heading off to negotiate with Jiang Aonan!
