Commander Wu Ying of the Shadow Moon Guard—what combat power does he possess, Ye Zhen knows all too well.
An Establishnt Realm Fifth Stage Mid-stage King, and his entire cultivation technique follows the path of strange mutation assassination, his body skill even more unpredictable, Ye Zhen absolutely cannot detect Commander Wu Ying of the Shadow Moon Guard without fully employing his Sword Heart Enlightennt.
The most important thing is that he has a mid-grade protective spirit artifact that can conceal one’s aura, extrely practical.
Ordinary Establishnt Realm Kings can hardly perceive him, let alone injure him!
Strictly speaking, martial artists of the sa level could hardly harm Commander Wu Ying of the Shadow Moon Guard with a casual palm strike!
"He was personally investigating this intelligence when he was severely injured by a palm strike from that red-haired youth beside the Longevity Sect Master!" The Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong explained with a wry smile.
"Frankly, even I find it hard to believe, because under that palm strike, Wu Ying’s protective spirit artifact was actually shattered with one blow!"
This ti, it was Ye Zhen who was truly astonished.
"A single palm destroyed even the spirit artifact?"
Wu Ying stepped forth from the darkness, face sallow, and chuckled bitterly as he pulled out a pale gray cloak, showing a very clear handprint hole in its center!
"This is the Shadow Moon Cloak, the inherited spirit artifact of successive commanders of the Shadow Moon Guard in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, passed down for thirteen generations, yet it was destroyed in my hands."
Ye Zhen was completely shocked, directly destroyed a mid-grade spirit artifact and severely injured an Establishnt Realm Fifth Stage King, only one-tenth of Purple Spirit’s true body strength might achieve this.
Not even sure if the Earth Vein Heavenly Fire within Ye Zhen’s Xuan Fire Spirit Vein holds such power.
"Wu Ying, at the brink of death, gathered two pieces of intelligence!" Jian Qianxiong said.
"What are the two pieces of intelligence?"
"First, within the Longevity Sect, seven Establishnt Realm Kings suddenly appeared, each with cultivation at Fourth Stage Establishnt or higher."
"The second piece of intelligence is that the Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng shows no signs of injury; his cultivation even elevated to over Seventh Stage Establishnt! And the red-haired youth beside him, exudes an aura seemingly stronger than Yin Changsheng!" Jian Qianxiong said!
Ye Zhen was stunned for a mont, then said, "Such formidable power, could it directly assault our Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple?"
"The strange thing is this: these Establishnt Realm Kings of the Longevity Sect have, until now, remained in closed-door cultivation!" Wu Ying said.
"This is extrely abnormal! I clearly saw Yin Changsheng transform into a skeleton with a hide covering, and there are only so many Establishnt Realm Kings in the world, how could seven suddenly appear?
Hmm, even if these seven Establishnt Realm Kings were invited from the Outer Domain Dead Sea by the Longevity Sect, how could Yin Changsheng’s cultivation aura suddenly surge to Seventh Stage Establishnt?
And that red-haired youth, who erges out of nowhere with combat power more fearso than Yin Changsheng, where did he co from?"
Ye Zhen’s series of questions caused Jian Qianxiong and Wu Ying to exchange a glance, then Jian Qianxiong nodded towards Ye Zhen, "For your doubts, old here might have so answers!
But before I tell you these possible answers, you must vow a Divine Soul Oath not to leak even a single word of what I am about to recount!
Because it concerns the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s... supre secret!"
"Supre secret?" Ye Zhen was shocked once again, then, according to Jian Qianxiong’s instruction, followed him in reciting a lengthy Divine Soul Poison Oath, word for word!
This was genuinely a Divine Soul Poison Oath, its poison so severe it could be considered as causing one’s descendants to be devoured by ten thousand ghosts should they breach it, extrely toxic.
Ye Zhen even wondered if Jian Qianxiong truly viewed him as a son-in-law, making him swear such a vicious Divine Soul Oath.
"Everyone who knows this supre secret must swear such a Divine Soul Oath, whether it’s the Sect Leader or !" Wu Ying added a remark!
After Ye Zhen invoked his Innate Divine Soul and completed the Divine Soul Oath, Jian Qianxiong casually shaped a jade talisman and tossed it to Ye Zhen, saying: "Destroy after reading!"
Nodding solemnly, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense once again delved into the jade talisman, imdiately upon entering, Ye Zhen’s expression turned extrely grave!
The contents recorded in the jade talisman were sparse, only over a thousand characters, yet within a few breaths, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense comprehended its full scope, imrsing deeply for fifteen minutes, remaining silent!
"Is this all true?"
"Passed down by successive Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leaders, and as this Sect Leader, I’ve verified only a small part, the rest largely remains unknown!" Jian Qianxiong said.
"Are you suggesting this might currently be the case in the Longevity Sect?" Ye Zhen asked.
"Very possible, otherwise the Longevity Sect wouldn’t be so bizarre! Besides that, old can’t think of any other explanations!" Jian Qianxiong said.
"If that’s truly the case, the Longevity Sect is a force we cannot resist; must we employ the sa tactics to confront the Longevity Sect?" Ye Zhen asked!
Ye Zhen’s question turned both Jian Qianxiong’s and Wu Ying’s expressions extrely grim, after contemplating for a long ti, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong shook his head slowly and firmly.
"No!"
"What the supre secret records absolutely aren’t as straightforward as they seem! Until absolutely necessary, I won’t attempt to verify those daunting records." Jian Qianxiong said.
"And what about the deity sacrifice in ten days?" Ye Zhen showed a hint of worry.
"No issues there, it’s been done countless tis, no unexpected incidents will occur!" As he spoke, Jian Qianxiong threw a mysterious look at Ye Zhen, "Just wait to reap the benefits!"
After exchanging these, Ye Zhen suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "What about the Stars Tower, any recent movents?"
The True Spirit Domain Stars Tower fell into chaos after Ye Zhen eliminated its Tower Master. Forces outside Qinglan Martial City were almost entirely taken over by other powers, with the Sun and Moon Divine Sect taking the majority.
However, the Stars Tower is a colossal organization; the True Spirit Domain Stars Tower is just one branch of the entire organization. Ye Zhen has ample reason to believe that the Stars Building Main Building won’t stand by as a branch is destroyed!
"More than a month ago, a group of powerful martial artists arrived, led by three Establishnt Kings, to begin tidying up the Stars Tower ss.
Then, there was no news at all, as if nothing had happened; even their business returned to normal!" Wu Ying said.
Ye Zhen frowned, "The behavior of the Stars Tower is very unusual!"
"We all know that, but it just hasn’t made any moves. I’ve already ordered that the intelligence gathering efforts against the Stars Tower be tripled!" Jian Qianxiong said!
"Alright, you’ve already seen the top-secret information! With our Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s Divine Sacrifice approaching, nobody would dare to touch our sect at this ti!"
Seeing Ye Zhen still wanting to ask more, Jian Qianxiong proactively ended the conversation, "Rest early, spend more ti with Qingyue when you can. She’s been confined by recently and probably resents terribly."
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, then casually asked, "Sect Leader, I might need to go to the Treasure Vault to find so materials, will need......"
Before Ye Zhen could finish, Jian Qianxiong casually tossed a Talisman, "This is a token at the Supre Elder level. Apart from a few treasures, you can take anything you want, just don’t empty it!"
"I won’t..."
Ye Zhen took the Talisman and turned his gaze to Wu Ying, "Commander Wu, can I take a look at your damaged Mid-grade Spirit Artifact Shadow Moon Cloak? I want to study it!"
"It’s a useless item, why not?" Wu Ying casually tossed the damaged Shadow Moon Cloak to Ye Zhen, "By the way, Lord Ye, you’re not planning on artifact refining, are you?"
Ye Zhen smiled without saying much, then bade farewell and left.
Just after Ye Zhen left the living hall of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, a Talisman Light landed in Ye Zhen’s hand.
The Talisman Communication contained only three words — Drink Under the Moon!
Seeing these three words, Ye Zhen looked at the sky’s bright moon and couldn’t help but smile, his figure soaring upwards.
In just a few breaths, Ye Zhen’s figure landed in the backyard of the Moonlight Hall Master; Fengh Qingyue was already seated in the pavilion, the stone table covered with wine and dishes!
"The wine at banquets tastes dull; let’s stick to the old rules tonight!" Fengh Qingyue’s voice rang out.
"Alright, let’s drink until we’re truly satisfied!"
"Cheers!"
Under the moonlight, the once familiar drinking ritual unfolded again. No one used spiritual power to disperse the wine spirit; gradually, Fengh Qingyue’s face started to flush, and Ye Zhen opened his chest.
"Since you went out this ti, I was first forbidden to go out, then placed under house arrest, and finally captured and had my spiritual power sealed....," Fengh Qingyue suddenly murmured.
"I know....."
Without waiting for Ye Zhen’s comfort, Fengh Qingyue suddenly started to cry, "At first, I hated him!"
"Hated him for sending you to such a dangerous place while not letting go!"
"Even thought that if anything happened to you, I would hate him forever!"
"But do you know? For the first ti!
During those days of confinent, I discovered for the first ti that he was actually caring for !
He was caring for so much!
Yet, his way of caring was so crude and direct..... without any explanation......"
Ye Zhen was stunned; he thought Fengh Qingyue was talking about romantic feelings, but it turned out to be about fatherly love.
However, Ye Zhen related to this; in childhood, his most vivid mories of his father were strictness, even slaps!
Only growing up did he realize that silent monts were filled with fatherly love.
"Actually, this is fatherly love!"
"This is a man’s love!"
"I understand now, but during those days, I said many heartless words to him, words that hurt him. I’m wondering, did I realize his care too late....."
"No, when it cos to fatherly love, as long as you understand, it’s never too late....."
"Really?"
"Really!"
The cool moonlight spilled over the two, making the amber wine start to glimr and letting their shadows draw longer and closer! (To be continued.
