Chapter 794 794: Joint Action
The morning sunlight shone down on the outskirts of Jiangnan City, on top of a mountain tower.
The tower had over ten floors, standing majestic and tall. At this moment, on the highest floor, three people sat around a stone table.
One was Elder Bai in a white robe, another was Elder Lu in a zhongshan suit, and the last was the expressionless Elder Wan.
Elder Wan lifted the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Elder Bai, Elder Lu, and himself.
"Elder Bai, Elder Lu, I invited you here today to discuss an important matter." Elder Wan said directly, looking at Bai Xuetang and Lu Yue.
Bai Xuetang and Lu Yue exchanged a glance and said to Elder Wan, "Whatever the matter is, Elder Wan, feel free to speak."
"Elder Bai, Elder Lu, I'll be straightforward. This time we came to Jiangnan City for Lin Zheng's disciple, Lin Fei." Elder Wan said, looking at Bai Xuetang and Lu Yue.
Bai Xuetang and Lu Yue made no effort to hide it and said, "Coincidentally, we also came for this Lin Fei."
"Our goal is the same, which is the Martial Saint Heart Sutra. But aside from the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, this Lin Fei killed my son, and I have a son's blood feud to avenge." A gleam of hatred flashed in Elder Wan's eyes.
Bai Xuetang and Lu Yue were surprised, clearly not expecting that Elder Wan's son of the Heaven and Earth Sect would be killed by Lin Fei.
The two offered a few perfunctory words of consolation to Elder Wan: "That is truly unfortunate, Elder Wan. Please accept our condolences."
Elder Wan said, "You don't need to console me. The dead cannot be revived, but I will certainly kill that Lin Fei to avenge my son."
"You two must know, Jiangnan is the territory of the Star Moon Sect. They also desire the Martial Saint Heart Sutra and are undoubtedly searching for Lin Fei as well."
Elder Wan's words hit right at the heart of Bai Xuetang and Lu Yue's thoughts.
Thinking about the masked black-clad figure with amazing martial skills who made them feel humiliated last night, they frowned.
"Elder Wan, do you have any good strategies to cope with this?" Elder Bai asked Elder Wan.
Elder Wan smiled and said, "Presumably, last night, you both received a warning from the Star Moon Sect. At the moment, to cope with the threat of the Star Moon Sect, we must join forces in order to obtain the Martial Saint Heart Sutra."
Shock appeared on the faces of Elder Bai and Elder Lu as they realized they had both been threatened by the Star Moon Sect.
Elder Bai looked at Elder Wan and said, "So Elder Wan was also threatened by the Star Moon Sect?"
Elder Wan nodded, "That's right. Last night the Star Moon Sect sent a masked expert who killed two of my men and warned me to leave Jiangnan City within two days, or die."
Elder Bai's brow furrowed with anger as he said, "Last night, a masked expert from the Star Moon Sect also broke into my villa. During our fight, they broke my cane and warned me to leave Jiangnan City."
"Last night a masked expert also broke into my villa, injuring two of my strongmen, and when I fought them, their skills were no weaker than mine. They too warned me to leave Jiangnan City." Lu Yue said angrily.
Elder Wan said, "It seems that our presence in Jiangnan City has already been known to the Star Moon Sect. Their intentions are clear — they want to monopolize the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, not allowing us to get involved."
"Exactly, that's what the Star Moon Sect wants." Elder Bai said angrily.
Lu Yue's eyes flashed with a cold sharpness as he said, "We cannot let the Star Moon Sect succeed. We must unite to deal with the Star Moon Sect."
Elder Wan said, "That's right, we need to unite, but in Jiangnan City, fighting against the Star Moon Sect is not easy. Even if we unite, I'm afraid we won't be able to match the Star Moon Sect."
Elder Bai and Lu Yue fell silent, as it was true that even though they each brought hundreds of experts to Jiangnan City, it wasn't the Hundred Poison Sect's firmly grounded Western Regions or the East Yue Sect's deeply rooted Donglu.
The Star Moon Sect, however, was the biggest power in Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, the Star Moon Sect occupied every advantage of timing, terrain, and people.
The Hundred Poison Sect, East Yue Sect, and Heaven and Earth Sect could not gain any advantage.
Elder Lu looked at Elder Wan and said, "Then Elder Wan, if we're not the Star Moon Sect's match, and don't want to give up the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, what should we do?"
"We can take Qin Yunyue and the others away, thus leading Lin Fei to another place. As long as Lin Fei leaves Jiangnan City, the Martial Saint Heart Sutra won't fall into the hands of the Star Moon Sect." Elder Wan said calmly.
Elder Bai and Elder Lu's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."
"We will take Qin Yunyue and the others away tonight, leaving the Star Moon Sect with nothing." Elder Wan said through gritted teeth.
"Good, we will act tonight." Elder Bai and Elder Lu immediately agreed.

In the villa.
"Last night, Leng Ying and I separately visited members of the Hundred Poison Sect, East Yue Sect, and Heaven and Earth Sect, giving them a taste of our power and subtly indicating that we are from the Star Moon Sect." Lin Fei said, looking at Qin Yunyue and the others.
"Therefore, all three sects are likely to think of me as part of the Star Moon Sect, and in their quest for the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, they might take desperate measures. We cannot afford to be unprepared."
After speaking, Lin Fei took out a glass bottle from his pocket and said, "These are unique Detoxification Pills crafted by my grandfather. Each person takes one and will be resistant to all poisons for twenty-four hours."
"The Hundred Poison Sect from the Western Regions is skilled at poisoning. If they poison you, these pills will help. They provide resistance to toxins."
Qin Yunyue and the others had complete trust in Lin Fei's words and immediately each took one of the Detoxification Pills he provided.
"Lin Fei, if they come tonight, should we fight them?" Xiao Ling asked Lin Fei at this moment.
Lin Fei shook his head, "No, we won't fight them."
Qin Yunyue and the others showed a hint of confusion, "Why not?"
Lin Fei said, "If the Hundred Poison Sect wants to deal with us, do you think the Star Moon Sect would know nothing about it? I bet this villa is already under the watch of various factions. For the sake of the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, no one wants to let you get captured by any side, as this concerns the Martial Saint Heart Sutra."
Qin Yunyue had a moment of realization, saying, "It seems like it's going to get lively around here."
Lin Fei nodded, "Yes, it will be lively."
That night, lights inside the villa glowed peacefully.
Suddenly, swish, swish, swish, in the darkness, egg-sized round black objects flew toward the villa, striking the glass windows of each floor.
With the sound of breaking glass, those round black objects smashed through the windows and flew into the living rooms of the villa.
Once inside, these black objects immediately emitted clouds of white smoke.
In mere moments, the villa was filled with toxic smoke.
Lin Fei, Qin Yunyue, Xiao Ling, and the others escaped the villa, coughing violently.
"Not good, we've inhaled toxic smoke."
"I feel dizzy."
"Quick, let's sit down and use our energy to resist the poison."
Afterwards, Lin Fei and the others hurriedly sat on the ground, beginning to circulate their qi and regulate their breath.
At this time, swish, swish, swish, masked men in black flew into the villa courtyard, approaching them...
