On the outskirts of Jiangnan City, several cars drove into a villa estate at the foot of a mountain.
The cars stopped in the courtyard of the villa, where Yun Zhen and so middle-aged n waited.
The car doors opened, and Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and others got out of the cars.
Seeing Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and the others safe and sound, Yun Zhen showed a pleased expression: "I'm glad you all returned safely!"
Lin Fei said, "Elder Yun, have soone take Yang Zhentan and the others from the car into the villa and treat them well."
"n, move everyone from the car into the villa," Yun Zhen instructed the middle-aged n beside him.
"Yes, Elder." The middle-aged n responded, then got into the car to carry the immobilized Elder Wan and Elder Lu, along with the unconscious Yang Zhentan and Elder Bai, into the villa.
Watching the four elders being carried into the villa by the Cloud Pavilion experts, Yun Zhen showed slight astonishnt.
These four elders were renowned figures from the four major factions in the north, south, east, and west.
In the world of martial artists, there were hardly any who dared to provoke these four elders.
Yet now, these four renowned elders were all subdued by Lin Fei.
This skill of Lin Fei's earned Yun Zhen admiration from the depths of his heart.
At this mont, Lin Fei said to Yun Zhen, "They've all been sealed at the key points, unable to circulate their Inner Qi or move. You only need to feed them well and ignore everything else."
Yun Zhen nodded: "Understood."
"Lin Fei, you brought them here—wouldn't this cause the Star Moon Sect, Hundred Poison Sect, East Yue Sect, and Heaven and Earth Sect to explode?" Yun Zhen asked with so concern.
Lin Fei, however, showed an indifferent expression, saying, "Hmm, the sudden disappearance of four famous elders would indeed cause those four factions to erupt into chaos!"
"However, did anyone see us bring them here? No one did, so those factions have no clue it was us."
Lin Fei's confidence stemd from the fact that tonight, in Qin Yunyue's villa, everyone, be it Elder Wan, Elder Bai, Elder Lu's people, or the Star Moon Sect mbers, either died or were severely injured and unconscious during the battle among the three elders and Yang Zhentan.
No one present knew that Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, and their group had taken Yang Zhentan and the four elders away.
Seeing that Lin Fei handled everything ticulously and without error, Yun Zhen felt relieved.
This villa estate, located in a remote area, had been arranged secretly by Yun Zhen at Lin Fei's request a few days ago.
At the ti, he didn't know what Lin Fei intended to do with it, now he knew it was ant to house Elder Wan, Yang Zhentan, and the other four.
"Elder Yun, there's no need to worry about this matter. We did it very secretly, and with the experts of the four major factions in the villa dead or severely injured, the four elders disappearing without a trace, the four factions will definitely suspect each other, thinking their elders were killed by the other side," Lin Fei calmly stated.
"In the coming days, quietly spread rumors saying that Grand Elder Yang Zhentan of the Star Moon Sect killed the three Elders Wan and took Qin Yunyue and the others away. Moreover, I've already traded the Martial Saint Heart Sutra with the Star Moon Sect. When the Hundred Poison Sect, East Yue Sect, and Heaven and Earth Sect learn of this, they won't let the Star Moon Sect off the hook."
Yun Zhen and Qin Yunyue's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but say, "That's a great plan!"
Lin Fei said, "We're using the enemy's hand to deal with the enemy. I must force out the Jiangnan Martial Saint, the Celestial Wolf Martial Saint, the Zhu Mu Martial Saint, and the Penglai Martial Saint."
Yun Zhen showed a hint of surprise in his eyes—these were peak martial artists, seemingly god-like figures. Could Lin Fei really seek revenge against them?
As for Qin Yunyue and Xiao Ling, they appeared even more confused. They had never heard of the Jiangnan Martial Saint, Celestial Wolf Martial Saint, or those nas.
But they did hear the words 'Martial Saint'—to beco a Martial Saint ant one had great Divine Power, a god-like being far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Lin Fei seeking such powerful individuals—wasn't this incredibly dangerous?
"Lin Fei, you ntioned the Jiangnan Martial Saint and Celestial Wolf Martial Saint just now—who are these people? Why are you looking for them?" Qin Yunyue couldn't help but ask Lin Fei.
Lin Fei's eyes showed hatred as he said, "They are the masterminds who killed my parents. I'll explain more to you later."
Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, and the others showed surprise, finally understanding that Lin Fei's parents were killed, and the masterminds were influential figures with Martial Saint strength.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about . Tonight you're tired, so freshen up and rest well in the villa. You might have to endure staying here for a while," Lin Fei comforted them, seeing their worried faces.
Qin Yunyue and the others had no choice but to nod.
Then, everyone walked into the villa.
The following day.
On the rooftop of a skyscraper in Jiangnan City, there was an open-air garden with all kinds of flowers and plants, a scene full of birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Surrounding the terrace were several brown sun umbrellas, under which were arranged several leather sofas.
Four or five elderly n in traditional Chinese attire sat on the sofas.
In the center sat an elderly man in traditional Chinese attire. His face was old, with wrinkles forming ravines across his face due to age. Yet, his eyes were piercing, his thin face sowhat stern.
The old man was seated with his legs crossed, exuding a steady presence like a mountain rather than a casual deanor. In his hand, he held a copper pipe, and upon closer inspection, the mouthpiece was adorned with a precious ruby, and the pipe was inlaid with exquisite jade.
The old man smoked from his pipe, gazing into the distance at the urban skyline of skyscrapers in Jiangnan City.
His posture as he smoked and surveyed created an impression of overlooking the city, exuding the aura of a high and mighty ruler.
The other four elderly n in traditional Chinese attire, all with white hair and wrinkled faces, had dignified auras, but compared to this pipe-smoking elder, they paled in comparison.
It was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Moreover, while the elder smoked, these four were deferential, hardly making a sound.
After a few puffs, the elder tapped the ash from his pipe into an ashtray, then turned to an elder in a black traditional Chinese outfit with a square face and large ears: "Elder Tong, the Grand Elder went to deal with a few young people last night but hasn't returned. What do you think?"
Elder Tong slightly bowed and replied, "Sect Leader, I am also very curious. With the Grand Elder's strength, even with the obstruction of the three elders from the Hundred Poison Sect, East Yue Sect, and Heaven and Earth Sect, he wouldn't just disappear."
"Last night, when I visited that villa with the three elders, apart from our severely wounded or dead Star Moon Sect experts, along with the Hundred Poison Sect and others, I saw no trace of the Grand Elder or the three elders from the Hundred Poison Sect, nor the young people we sought."
"Sect Leader, do you think it's possible that while we were focused on the Hundred Poison Sect, Heaven and Earth Sect, and East Yue Sect, there was a 'mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' situation, where soone else took action behind us, capturing the Grand Elder and the people we wanted?"
The elder took a handful of tobacco from his pouch, packed it into the pipe, lit it with a lighter, and puffed away.
After exhaling a thin wisp of smoke, the elder said, "I've sent He Ling to call Yang Zhenhui and his father. We'll ask them when they arrive."
