Only at this moment did Tian Fenger turned to Shen Lian and said, "The transportation here is very inconvenient, and the economy is very poor, so we lack basic daily necessities, especially salt. So many of the older villagers are suffering from Big Neck Disease."

"Oh! "So that's how it is."

It was only then that Shen Lian understood. The people who had seen Miao Min's large neck earlier were basically older. She didn't expect him to have a large neck disease because of this.

Originally, the lack of iodized salt people are very few, usually in remote mountainous areas.

Iodized salt deficiency can lead to a large goiter, commonly known as Big Neck Disease, which is not usually the case now that iodine is added to the salt.

And in such a remote Sheng Miao village like that Dragon Village, with so many Big Neck Diseases, it could also be seen that the truth was as Tian Feng'er had said, this place was indeed sealed and left behind.

Shen Lian began to understand why Tian Feng'er wanted to develop her economy so much.

"Now, the young villagers are less likely to suffer from Big Neck Disease, because every few days, I will use this boat to purchase a batch of daily necessities and salt, and go back and forth between Nagon and Na Long Village so that the villagers won't have to suffer so much."

Tian Feng'er said.

"It looks like you are right to want to develop your economy!"

Shen Lian nodded his head and said.

At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly heard a loud cry of surprise from a rough looking man from the street in front of the pier. It was mixed with a few quick words that exuded a vicious aura!

Since the male voice had suddenly appeared and was speaking in Miao language, Shen Lian was unable to understand its meaning. He didn't feel anything was wrong and instead, the expression of Tian Fenger beside him changed slightly … Then, Shen Lian saw a Miao Family man dressed in blue cloth leading a group of men dressed in identical blue cloth behind him as he walked toward the pier.

The leader of the Miao Family looked to be about thirty years of age. He was not considered tall, but he appeared to be very sturdy. He wore a sleeveless blue Miao suit that revealed two stripes along with the Miao's totem arms.

Furthermore, this Miao Family man's face was expressionless. He first sized Shen Lian up with a vicious gaze. Then, a few Miao words suddenly popped out from his mouth, carrying an intention to interrogate him.

"Ugh …" What does he want to tell us? "

Shen Lian hurriedly asked Tian Fenger who was beside him.

"Who is he asking you? What are you here for? "

Tian Fenger translated, then she walked up to the Miao man and spoke to him in Miao language.

On the other hand, the man from the Miao Family seemed to be quite respectful and fearful of Tian Feng'er.

After Tian Fenger said a few words, he actually curled his lips in a helpless manner before retreating to the side. His eyes were still staring at Shen Lian with a wary expression.

"Alright, everything is fine now. Big Brother Shen, I will bring you to see our Sect Leader now!"

Tian Feng'er turned around and called out to Shen Lian as they walked towards the street on the pier.

However, when the two of them walked into the village, the Miao Family man led a group of men and followed behind them cautiously.

"Miss Tian, they … What kind of person was he? "Why is it like this?"

Due to the appearance of this group of people, Shen Lian felt like he was being watched. He felt that the atmosphere was rather heavy and awkward, hence he couldn't help asking Tian Fenger in a low voice.

"Oh, they are our Dragon Village's guards!"

Tian Feng'er said.

"A guard?"

Shen Lian was stunned.

This has always been a traditional rule of Miao Village. As there aren't any laws like you in the Han Chinese District, once there is a dispute between the villages, a large-scale gang fight will even occur when there is a serious conflict. Therefore, every village will select some strong and martial arts experts to act as village warriors to protect the safety and interests of the villagers!

Tian Fenger explained.

"Oh! "So that's how it is!"

Shen Lian finally understood.

"The leader is called Shi Chao, his martial arts are not bad, he is the leader of our Dragon Village's guards."

Tian Feng'er introduced him to Shen Lian, then said: "Earlier, I have already explained to Shi Chao the reason why you came here with me. However, does he still believe in your intentions?

"Oh!" "Alright then!"

Shen Lian obviously didn't want to cause trouble, so she hurriedly nodded her head before following Tian Fenger along the stone street into the village.

Not long later, Tian Feng'er brought Shen Lian to an ancient looking, tall tower.

The difference between the tower and the rest of the buildings in the village was not that great. However, the more obvious difference was that the rooms upstairs were all covered with a layer of black cloth with many mysterious totems drawn on them.

Standing downstairs, Shen Lian could smell the scent of herbs.

"Big Brother Shen, our Sect Leader is upstairs. I will go up to ask her about it and tell her about your situation. You can wait for me here."

Tian Feng'er said to Shen Lian.

"Alright! "Sorry for the trouble."

Shen Lian hurriedly said.

"I hope the Sect Leader will agree!"

Tian Fenger said as she walked up the stairs.

Watching Tian Fenger entering one of the rooms upstairs, Shen Lian prayed in his heart … Just then, the warriors such as Shi Chao and his underlings who were following behind him walked over and surrounded Shen Lian.

Although they did not say anything, they were all glaring at Shen Lian with vigilance written all over their faces.

Shen Lian couldn't help laughing bitterly inside. This group of guards were truly devoted to their duty!

After waiting for about half an hour in this awkward atmosphere, Shen Lian finally saw the black curtain of the room upstairs lift up.

Then, Shen Lian saw Tian Fenger supporting an old woman from the Miao Family. Behind her were several other women from the Miao Family with serious expressions. They were walking down the stairs together.

The woman from the Miao Family looked very old. Her weathered face was covered with ravines and wrinkles, and her skin looked more like dried orange peel.

At the same time, Shen Lian noticed that the Miao Family's wife's footsteps were a little shaky and her eyes were narrowed. Her face was pale and she was emitting the smell of herbal medicine. It seemed that her body was unwell.

However, even though the Miao Family women following behind her looked ordinary, they gave Shen Lian a sense of great power … Tian Feng'er supported the old woman and walked in front of Shen Lian. She said, "Big Brother Shen, this is our Sky Voodoo Cult's Blue Sect Leader …"

"The High Priestess …" "Hello!"

Shen Lian did not know how to address this Sky Voodoo Cult's Sect Leader, so he could only greet her with such respect.

"Mm …"

She opened her eyes and looked at Shen Lian.

Seeing her stare at him, Shen Lian suddenly had a feeling. Her gaze seemed to have a powerful magic to it, penetrating deep into his heart, revealing his secret!
