Capítulo 818: Chapter 818: The Enemy Comes Knocking!

He Jing was stripped of his martial arts on the spot, causing those loyal to He Jing or to Ancient Moon River to quietly shift their allegiance to Ancient Moon River in that moment.

By deposing He Jing from the position of Sect Leader and stripping his martial arts, Ancient Moon River publicly asserted his authority, with immediate effect, instantly establishing his prestige in the minds of those up and down the Star Moon Sect.

“This concludes today’s meeting. Everyone remains in their respective roles, without changes. However, if anyone wants to oppose me by siding with He Jing, I will not let them go,” Ancient Moon River said, his gaze sternly sweeping across everyone in the meeting room.

After all, he had left the Star Moon Sect for ten years. Even if the patriarchs of various noble families and martial arts families remembered the kindness he showed in the past, it couldn’t guarantee there weren’t those who had already pledged loyalty to He Jing during the ten years.

Thus, his words were a warning to those who were wavering and still wanted to be loyal to He Jing.

“We only pledge allegiance to Sect Leader Gu. If we harbor any second thoughts, may heaven punish us, and may we die without a whole body,” said all the patriarchs and martial arts experts in unison.

Seeing this, Lin Fei knew that the purpose of Ancient Moon River reclaiming control of the Star Moon Sect today had been achieved.

“Well, everyone can go back now. Report to me immediately if there are any important matters,” Ancient Moon River said to all the patriarchs.

“Yes, Sect Leader Gu, we bid farewell!” the patriarchs responded.

Then, the patriarchs of major noble families and martial arts families, along with the top experts of the Star Moon Sect, bid farewell to Ancient Moon River and left the meeting room.

In the meeting room, only Lin Fei, Ancient Moon River, Leng Ying, Gu Mu, and the three elders including Elder Chen were left, along with He Jing, who was unconscious on the ground.

“Elder Chen, the three of you, detain He Jing first,” Ancient Moon River said to the three elders.

“Yes, Sect Leader Gu,” the three of them agreed and dragged the unconscious He Jing out.

At this moment, with a look of gratitude, Ancient Moon River said to Lin Fei: “Today, I could regain control of the Star Moon Sect, thanks to you, Xie Feng, you are my great benefactor. Tonight, I must host a banquet to thank you properly.”

Lin Fei said calmly: “Mr. Gu, it was just a small effort on my part; it’s not worth mentioning.”

Then Lin Fei continued: “However, there’s one thing we cannot ignore right now.”

Ancient Moon River’s brows furrowed slightly, as if he thought of something, and said: “Are you referring to the Jiangnan Martial Saint?”

Lin Fei nodded: “Although we have taken down He Jing, the Jiangnan Martial Saint is our greatest threat.”

This was also what worried Ancient Moon River. Although he had regained control of the Star Moon Sect, if the Jiangnan Martial Saint knew, he would certainly deal with Ancient Moon River.

Therefore, even if Ancient Moon River regained control of the Star Moon Sect, there was still a possibility of losing the position of Sect Leader again, or even losing his life.

“Mr. Gu, can you tell me where the Jiangnan Martial Saint is?” Lin Fei asked Ancient Moon River solemnly.

Ancient Moon River shook his head and said: “Though the Jiangnan Martial Saint controls all major forces in the Jiangnan region, no one knows where he is.”

“Years ago, the Jiangnan Martial Saint sent a housekeeper named Song to ask me to hand over the Beidou Array Map and pledge loyalty to the Jiangnan Martial Saint. Though I was aware of the frightening strength of the Jiangnan Martial Saint, I didn’t want to hand over the Beidou Array Map, so I only agreed to pledge loyalty to him, falsely claiming I didn’t have the Beidou Array Map.”

“However, three days later, this Housekeeper Song and He Jing removed me from the position of Sect Leader of the Star Moon Sect, almost costing me my life. You could say I never encountered the Jiangnan Martial Saint face-to-face, yet I lost my position and almost my life. You can imagine how terrifying the Jiangnan Martial Saint is?”

Saying this, there was a hint of dread in the eyes of Ancient Moon River.

Listening to Ancient Moon River, Lin Fei felt even more that the Jiangnan Martial Saint was mysterious.

Lin Fei began to think deeply.

Now it seems that finding the Jiangnan Martial Saint, this Housekeeper Song is very crucial.

But how can one find this Housekeeper Song?

Lin Fei thought of He Jing.

He Jing must have had contact and communication with Housekeeper Song.

The Jiangnan Martial Saint must have been controlling the Star Moon Sect through Housekeeper Song.

Thinking this, Lin Fei said to Ancient Moon River: “Tonight, let’s see if we can get something from He Jing.”

Ancient Moon River also felt that the only feasible way was to find clues from He Jing.

“Alright, tonight we will interrogate He Jing,” Ancient Moon River said.

Then, Ancient Moon River said to Lin Fei: “Come, let me show you around our Star Moon Sect resort, to enjoy the scenery and relax a bit.”

Lin Fei agreed, knowing that finding the Jiangnan Martial Saint could not be achieved in a day; it would have to be done step by step.

Lin Fei, Ancient Moon River, along with Leng Ying and Gu Mu, walked out of the meeting room, just stepping out of the hotel entrance.

“Sect Leader Gu, it’s not good, the leaders of the East Yue Sect and Heaven and Earth Sect have come, asking our Star Moon Sect to hand over Elder Lu of the East Yue Sect and Elder Wan of the Heaven and Earth Sect,” Chen Zhong said urgently as he quickly approached with two top experts from the Star Moon Sect.

Ancient Moon River frowned and asked puzzled: “The East Yue Sect and Heaven and Earth Sect want us to hand over their elders?”

Evidently, Ancient Moon River wasn’t aware of the recent happenings in the Star Moon Sect.

However, Lin Fei knew what happened with Yang Zhentan and the elders of the three sects. This matter, after all, started because of him.

At this point, Chen Zhong had already recounted the story of how He Jing sent Yang Zhentan to capture Qin Yunyue and others, which led to a fierce battle with the elders of the three sects.

In the end, Chen Zhong said to Ancient Moon River: “The situation is like this, all caused by Yang Zhentan’s desire to monopolize the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, thereby pinning the blame for killing the elders of the three sects on the Star Moon Sect.”

Having heard this, Ancient Moon River understood the entire sequence of events.

“Where are the leaders of the East Yue Sect and Heaven and Earth Sect?” Ancient Moon River asked Chen Zhong.

Chen Zhong replied: “They were intercepted outside the resort by Gu Ming and Zhang Gao, along with a group of experts from the Star Moon Sect.”

“Let’s go and see,” Ancient Moon River said resolutely.

“Yes, Sect Leader Gu.”

Ancient Moon River, Lin Fei and the group headed towards the resort gate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As Lin Fei, Ancient Moon River, and the group arrived at the resort gate, they heard the sound of fists and kicks, along with cries of agony.

They saw Gu Ming, Zhang Gao, and about a dozen Star Moon Sect experts being blasted away by two figures at the gate, the fierce and astonishing martial aura spreading like a storm.

Gu Ming, Zhang Gao and the Star Moon Sect experts were all knocked to the ground, moaning, unable to stand again.

As the storm dissipated, Lin Fei saw two elders appear at the resort gate.

One was in his sixties, with white eyebrows like frost, eyes sharp as a blade, in a simple green robe, of unremarkable appearance but exuding a powerful pressure like a storm on the horizon.

The other was in his seventies, also with white hair and brows, looking serene in a black Tang suit, his hands behind his back, giving off an impression of profound respect like a towering mountain.

These two were the leaders of the East Yue Sect, Lu Dai, and the Heaven and Earth Sect, Gao Zhan.
