In the living room, Lu Yue, the head of the Seven Heroes of Taishan, wore an expression of utter shock, finally managing to recover his senses.
As an elder of the East Yue Sect and the fad head of the Seven Heroes of Taishan, he rarely encountered worthy adversaries.
He hadn't expected that as soon as he arrived in Jiangnan City, he would et a formidable opponent.
That palm strike just now was delivered with all his strength, and he thought it would severely injure his opponent.
But to his surprise, Lin Fei was unhard, while he himself felt his blood surging tumultuously, and despite his efforts to suppress it, a trace of blood still seeped from the corner of his mouth.
This revelation shocked Lu Yue's heart profoundly.
He narrowed his eyes: He had long heard that the Star Moon Sect was entrenched in Jiangnan with imnse power, and now the Star Moon Sect had only sent one person, and he could hardly match them.
If the Star Moon Sect brought out their elite forces, then...
Lu Yue's expression grew heavy.
He recalled that his purpose for coming to Jiangnan City was to acquire the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, but if the Star Moon Sect intervened, both he and the experts of the East Yue Sect might not accomplish their mission smoothly.
He must think of a way to achieve a win-win solution...
anwhile, under the cover of midnight at a certain five-star hotel.
The towering hotel stood majestically, and in a luxurious suite on the top floor sat Elder Wan, with Ding Yongsheng and Jiang Yifan seated across from him on a sofa.
"Elder Wan, that number one young master in Jiangnan, Yang Zhenhui, has already gone to trouble Qin Yunyue, but he was not Qin Yunyue's match and fled with severe injuries, coughing blood." Ding Yongsheng respectfully reported to Elder Wan.
Elder Wan sipped the tea in his hand, nodding slightly.
"Elder Wan, that Yang Zhenhui is the grandson of the Grand Elder of the Star Moon Sect, Yang Zhentan. Normally, Yang Zhentan dotes on him very much, and if he knows his grandson was severely injured, he surely won't let Qin Yunyue off the hook." Jiang Yifan chid in.
Indeed, the confrontation between Yang Zhenhui and Qin Yunyue, where he was heavily injured and fled, was witnessed by the nearby Ding Yongsheng and Jiang Yifan.
They now reported all they saw to Elder Wan.
Elder Wan's brow furrowed slightly, as if pondering sothing.
Ding Yongsheng cautiously asked, "Elder Wan, what are you thinking about?"
Elder Wan replied, "I'm thinking, why hasn't Lin Fei shown up despite the Star Moon Sect's people seeking out Qin Yunyue and the others?"
"Elder Wan, could it be that Lin Fei knows Qin Yunyue can handle Yang Zhenhui, so he hasn't shown up?" Jiang Yifan asked.
Elder Wan said, "Lin Fei is truly calm, but once Yang Zhentan makes a move, I want to see if he can maintain his calm."
Just as Elder Wan finished speaking, the sound of glass shattering suddenly ca from outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, as if sothing flew by.
"Not good, soone's eavesdropping outside!" A cold gleam flashed in Elder Wan's eyes, and in the next mont, with a bang, his figure crashed through the floor-to-ceiling window and flew out.
As he flew out of the building, Elder Wan imdiately saw a black shadow descending rapidly to the ground.
Elder Wan, without hesitation, flew downwards in pursuit.
As Elder Wan chased after the descending shadow, a figure appeared on the rooftop, and it was Lin Fei.
The black shadow falling just now was rely a mannequin dressed in clothes used as a decoy by Lin Fei to lure Elder Wan away. Lin Fei had heard everything said in the suite by Elder Wan, Ding Yongsheng, and Jiang Yifan.
He hadn't expected Ding Yongsheng, who disappeared in Capital City, to follow Elder Wan to Jiangnan City.
It was a good opportunity to solve everything today and eliminate future threats.
Then, Lin Fei flew down from the rooftop into the suite where the floor-to-ceiling window had been shattered by Elder Wan.
Upon seeing a masked figure in black suddenly fly in from outside, Jiang Yifan and Ding Yongsheng were both startled.
They looked at Lin Fei cautiously and asked, "Who are you?"
One was the enemy responsible for his parents' deaths, and the other was a lackey attempting to kill his brother and force him out.
Lin Fei didn't want to waste any words with them. With a raised hand, he sent a palm strike through the air.
The air twisted into two transparent palm impressions like those conjured from water, slamming into Jiang Yifan and Ding Yongsheng.
The suite instantly echoed with screams of anguish.
Elder Wan, in pursuit of the plumting shadow, finally caught up just as it was about to hit the ground, grabbing onto the back of the black-clad figure's clothing.
But upon lifting it, he realized the "person" was significantly light, and upon better inspection, it was just a black-clad plastic dummy.
Realizing what had happened, Elder Wan muttered inwardly, "Not good, I've fallen for the enemy's diversion tactic."
Just then, Elder Wan saw a shadow on the high hotel building, like an eagle flying at night, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Elder Wan imdiately discarded the dummy and flew upwards.
When Elder Wan returned to the top-floor suite, he found Ding Yongsheng and Jiang Yifan lying on the ground. Checking their breath, he realized they no longer showed signs of life.
Although Ding Yongsheng and Jiang Yifan were rely pawns to Elder Wan, and their deaths did not sadden him.
But the fact that soone first lured him away and then infiltrated his suite to kill Ding Yongsheng and Jiang Yifan was clearly a direct challenge to him.
At that mont, Elder Wan's gaze suddenly fell on the table where his tea cup was placed, seeing a line of words: "Leave Jiangnan City, do not covet the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, or their fate will be yours."
The words were not written with a pen. Elder Wan noticed that each stroke of the characters was as thick as a finger, carved into the tabletop, suggesting they were inscribed manually with a finger.
Elder Wan looked at the carved words on the table with a deep gaze.
"Star Moon Sect, it seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect my ticulously laid plans to be uncovered by you."
Seeing the words on the table, similar to Elder Bai and Lu Yue, Elder Wan first thought Lin Fei was a mber of the Star Moon Sect.
He took his cellphone from his pocket, dialing a number, and spoke in a low voice into the device: "Find out where the people of the Hundred Poison Sect and East Yue Sect are."
"Yes, Elder Wan," a respectful voice answered on the phone.
Simultaneously, at the Yang family's villa estate.
In a bedroom within the villa, lying on a bed, Yang Zhenhui suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
A servant hurriedly wiped the blood from Yang Zhenhui's body on the bed.
"Father, will Hui'er be alright?" A man in his forties, full of anxiety, asked the serious-looking Yang Zhentan.
This middle-aged man was none other than Yang Zhenhui's father, the reputed richest man in Jiangnan City, Yang Zhennan.
His wife continued to cry as she spoke, "Hui'er is our only son. If anything happens to him, what will beco of the Yang family?"
Yang Zhentan's gaze was deep and intimidating as he spoke: "Unexpectedly, this Qin Yunyue possesses such a capability, injuring Zhenhui's ridians."
"However, Hui'er will be fine. I will slowly treat him, and he will surely recover as before."
With those words, the grief on Yang Zhennan and his wife's faces eased sowhat.
"As for avenging Zhenhui, I will bide my ti for a few days and first determine Qin Yunyue's true capability before making a move."
With a clench of his right hand, Yang Zhentan crushed a string of Buddhist Beads into powder.
Opening his hand, the powder drifted to the floor.
