Chapter 825: 825: Martial Saint of Jiangnan

Capítulo 825: Chapter 825: Martial Saint of Jiangnan

The four Sect Leaders of Ancient Moon River were stunned.

This Housekeeper Song turned out to be a fake substitute?

Gu Mu couldn’t help furrowing his brows. No wonder this “Housekeeper Song” was so weak, turns out he was a fake.

Then, Gu Mu asked Lin Fei, “Xie Feng, how did you discover that this Housekeeper Song was fake?”

Lin Fei replied, “From the moment we entered the study, his apparent nervousness aroused my suspicion. And just now when you fought him and easily sent him flying, I thought he couldn’t possibly be a trusted steward of the Jiangnan Martial Saint.”

Of course, the reason Lin Fei was able to see through the fake Housekeeper Song was because of his X-ray Vision, which revealed the human skin mask at a glance.

“But Xie Feng, if this person is a fake Housekeeper Song, where would the real Housekeeper Song be?” Gu Mu asked, looking at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei said, “This Housekeeper Song must be very cunning to have arranged a fake substitute here. I think he’s already escaped.”

Gu Mu couldn’t help but show a look of worry: “Then, doesn’t that mean we can’t find him or locate the Jiangnan Martial Saint?”

Lin Fei pondered for a moment and said, “We will take our time to find them. Let’s go back and ask He Jing more carefully to see if he has any other information about Housekeeper Song.”

Gu Mu heard the difficulty of finding Housekeeper Song from Lin Fei’s words.

But for now, they could only go back to inquire with He Jing to see if there was any way to find Housekeeper Song.

Meanwhile, Leng Ying, Gu Mu, and others had subdued dozens of bodyguards in the villa manor.

Lin Fei said to everyone, “Let’s go! Housekeeper Song has already escaped.”

Leng Ying and Gu Mu showed surprise on their faces but didn’t ask more questions.

Lin Fei and the others then used their Body Techniques to quickly leave the villa manor.

As Lin Fei and his group left the villa manor, on a mountain peak just a few hundred meters away, with dense trees on its summit, two figures stood on a rock.

One of them was an elder dressed in a long robe, with gray hair at his temples and sharp eyes like an eagle. This elder, in both appearance and attire, closely resembled the Housekeeper Song, who was killed by Gu Mu in the villa manor while wearing a human skin mask.

This elder with gray hair was the real Housekeeper Song.

Beside Housekeeper Song stood another elder in black martial arts attire, with an expression of humility. This elder was the patriarch of a martial arts family under the control of the Star Moon Sect.

Housekeeper Song and the elder both looked at the villa manor below until Lin Fei and his group’s figures completely disappeared.

“Zhang Wu, thank you for informing me this time.” Housekeeper Song turned his head and spoke to the elder beside him.

The elder named Zhang Wu quickly showed respect on his face, saying, “Housekeeper Song instructed me to monitor the Star Moon Sect, and to report any movements to Housekeeper Song immediately.”

Housekeeper Song nodded, “You’ve done well.”

Then, his gaze turned dark, and his voice grew colder: “Unbelievably, that old Gu Mu didn’t die and even returned to the Star Moon Sect to take command again.”

Zhang Wu looked at Housekeeper Song and said cautiously, “Housekeeper Song, with your martial arts, it shouldn’t be difficult to eliminate Gu Mu. Why didn’t you act just now?”

Housekeeper Song laughed, “Gu Mu came back this time, and he must have some backup. It would be reckless to act without figuring this out first.”

Hearing this, Zhang Wu couldn’t help but think: He’s truly a crafty old fox!

“Zhang Wu, after you return, keep a close watch on Gu Mu and his group, and inform me immediately of any important information.” Housekeeper Song solemnly instructed Zhang Wu.

“Yes, Housekeeper Song,” Zhang Wu immediately agreed.

Housekeeper Song then leaped gracefully off the rock, like an eagle, disappearing into the woods far away.

————

Early the next morning, hundreds of miles away from Jiangnan City, high up on a majestic mountain range, lay an open-air lake.

This lake was formed from a natural volcanic crater, collecting rainwater over many years. The lake’s surface was calm and clear, reflecting the surrounding green mountains, the blue sky, and white clouds above, resembling a beautiful painting.

On the southern side of the lake, a modern luxury villa stood by the shore, surrounded by towering bodyguards in suits and sunglasses.

This place seemed like a paradise, or a summer retreat resort for wealthy individuals.

Whoosh.

At this moment, a figure flew in from a part of the mountain range, lightly tapping the trees like a bird.

In the blink of an eye, the figure landed in front of a villa area by the lakeshore.

“Who goes there?” Simultaneously, a dozen bodyguards appeared and surrounded the figure as swiftly as lightning.

The figure, clad in a long robe, with gray at the temples and hawk-like sharp eyes, was Housekeeper Song.

“Where is the Martial Saint?” Housekeeper Song asked, looking at the surrounding bodyguards.

The bodyguards recognized Housekeeper Song and immediately showed respect on their faces, saying, “Greetings, Housekeeper Song.”

The leading bodyguard said to Housekeeper Song, “Housekeeper Song, the Martial Saint is in Celestial Mirror Lake.”

Housekeeper Song immediately looked towards the lake.

This lake was called Celestial Mirror Lake and spans ten miles wide.

Housekeeper Song exerted his eyesight and noticed a faint black dot at the lake’s center.

Then, Housekeeper Song leapt up, landing on a wooden boat by the lake; he didn’t need to row as he propelled the boat with his Inner Strength, swiftly heading toward the lake’s center.

The small boat halted at the lake’s center, where a airflow, resembling a gentle breeze, enveloped the area of several meters, preventing the boat from approaching.

Within this air current stood an elder in simple robes, cross-legged on the water’s surface, neither sinking nor getting his clothes wet. His entire being was enveloped in a faint mist, akin to auspicious clouds surrounding him.

The elder sat with his eyes closed, white hair and brows, and a silver beard hanging down his chest, exuding calmness. His hands rested on his knees, appearing as if he were one with the lake.

“Song Yang greets the Martial Saint.” Housekeeper Song stood on the boat, respectfully bowing to the elder seated on the lake.

The elder, an almost legendary figure in Jiangnan known as the Jiangnan Martial Saint, sat cross-legged in the lake.

The Jiangnan Martial Saint did not open his eyes; his lips moved slightly, and his voice flowed like a mountain stream, laced with a mighty strength: “Song Yang, during your time down the mountain, has anything happened in Jiangnan?”

Song Yang replied, “Martial Saint, ten years ago we drove him away, but Gu Mu, who miraculously escaped with his life, has returned and taken back control of the Star Moon Sect.”

“And what of my nominal disciple, He Jing?” The Jiangnan Martial Saint’s voice remained calm.

Song Yang said, “According to Zhang Wu, He Jing has had his martial strength crippled by Gu Mu and has been imprisoned by the Star Moon Sect.”

“Hmm, do we know if Gu Mu has found any allies to counter me upon his return?” The Jiangnan Martial Saint asked again.

“Martial Saint, I’ve already arranged for investigations, and we should have information soon,” Song Yang answered.

The Jiangnan Martial Saint earnestly said, “This time you must obtain the Beidou Array Map from Gu Mu. If you allow him to escape again like last time, you should bring your own head when you come to see me.”

“Yes, Martial Saint!” Song Yang replied, his demeanor becoming more serious.
