Seeing the mysterious demeanor, Yi Feng's eyes filled with confusion.
"A heaven-defying opportunity?"
Hu Weifang leaned in closer, speaking with utmost seriousness.
"Indeed, a heaven-defying opportunity!"
"Young Master Yi, though our Moon God Pavilion is currently just a first-rate power, it won’t be long before the Holy Maiden breaks through to the third tier of the Heavenly Rank. Our Moon God Pavilion will then ascend to become a Domain Overlord Sect, reigning supreme over the entire Southern Li Heavenly Domain!"
"By then, your status will rise as well, and you may even reap unimaginable benefits!"
Hearing this, Yi Feng grew even more astonished.
"Miss Qing Yin will become that powerful?!"
He had originally assumed the Pavilion Master would be the most formidable and had planned to find a way to approach them. Yet, the strongest turned out to be the girl he had met long ago?
In his memory, that girl had struggled to even slay a few monsters—hardly the image of someone so mighty.
Yi Feng’s face betrayed his skepticism.
Noticing his expression, Hu Weifang stepped closer, his tone grave.
"Young Master Yi."
"Normally, this matter would never be disclosed!"
"But you’ve shown us immense kindness and are now an elder of our sect. So, I’ll share some insider information with you—but you must swear to keep it secret!"
With that, Hu Weifang glanced around warily, then formed hand seals to erect a barrier, silencing all sound.
The unusual precautions only deepened Yi Feng’s curiosity.
Under his watchful gaze, Hu Weifang’s expression grew increasingly fervent.
"To be frank..."
"Our Moon God Pavilion has encountered a heaven-defying opportunity, backed by an unfathomably terrifying patron!"
A patron even a Domain Overlord Sect would deem terrifying...
Good heavens, just how overpowered must that existence be?!
Yi Feng’s interest soared instantly!
"Truly?!"
Hu Weifang’s face remained solemn, his eyes burning with fanaticism.
"Absolutely true!"
"A few days ago, Elder Xiong Fen of our Moon God Pavilion went missing. Our sect was locked in a deadly battle with the Heavenly Dao Sect, and even the Pavilion Master was trapped in a lethal formation. Then, Elder Xiong suddenly reappeared, shattering the formation with his supreme cultivation!"
"Afterward, Elder Xiong and his son stormed the Heavenly Dao Sect. With a single strike, Elder Xiong annihilated the Heavenly Dao Sect’s leader, wiping out the entire sect!"
In just a few words, Yi Feng’s mind conjured the image of a terrifyingly powerful elder—a savior who turned the tide and obliterated a rival sect with ease, like a legendary expert straight out of a novel!
This fabled Elder Xiong must be the Moon God Pavilion’s strongest!
Seeing the awe in Yi Feng’s eyes, Hu Weifang’s voice grew even more animated.
"You must be thinking Elder Xiong is our patron, right?"
"That’s not entirely wrong, but it’s not the full picture!"
"Before his disappearance, Elder Xiong’s cultivation was merely average among the elders. His sudden surge in power came from joining an incredibly mysterious and formidable faction!"
"Through training under that faction, Elder Xiong broke through to the Heavenly Rank in just days! The techniques and treasures he obtained are beyond comprehension!"
A few days of training could produce a Heavenly Rank expert?
Such methods were truly unimaginable.
Yi Feng’s eyes widened, his anticipation mounting.
"It’s really that incredible?"
Hu Weifang grew even more excited, gesturing animatedly.
"Incredible? It’s downright terrifying!"
"That fearsome faction didn’t just remake Elder Xiong—even the Holy Maiden’s breakthrough was thanks to the techniques he imparted. She ascended to the Heavenly Rank in the blink of an eye!"
"The mysterious power behind Elder Xiong is beyond even the Pavilion Master’s comprehension!"
"Rumor has it, the elders unanimously believe it must be a transcendent force spanning countless eons. If it ever reveals itself, it could shake the entire continent of Lanxing!"
"With such divine fortune backing us, our Moon God Pavilion’s rise to a Domain Overlord Sect is inevitable!"
...
The staggering words echoed in Yi Feng’s ears, leaving him utterly stunned.
"Truly… terrifying indeed!"
Lanxing was indeed formidable.
Compared to Yunxing, it was on an entirely different level!
With its mighty Heavenly Rank sects and that unfathomable mysterious faction, Yunxing seemed pitifully weak. No wonder Qing Yin Qianyun had gone to such lengths to help back then, even dismissing the village elders without a second thought...
Hearing these astonishing secrets, far beyond his wildest expectations, Yi Feng felt his horizons expand, truly grasping the vastness of the starry cosmos.
He couldn’t help but murmur in admiration.
"There’s always someone greater, and skies beyond skies!"
Hearing this, Hu Weifang’s eyes gleamed with pride, as if he’d expected nothing less.
"Young Master Yi, now you understand—our Moon God Pavilion has an extraordinary background and limitless prospects!"
Leaning in, he added warmly,
"That’s why the Holy Maiden invited you here with such care. As an elder now, even a modest contribution could earn you a heaven-defying opportunity like hers!"
"Such a chance doesn’t exist anywhere else in the Southern Li Heavenly Domain!"
"With our backing, your future is boundless!"
After this revelation, Yi Feng’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
With the Moon God Pavilion’s formidable connections, finding a supreme expert would be effortless. At the very least, that legendary Elder Xiong was a powerhouse in his own right!
Coming to Lanxing had been the right decision!
With this in mind, Yi Feng looked on eagerly.
"When will Elder Xiong return to the Moon God Pavilion?"
Hearing the question, Hu Weifang knew Yi Feng was fully motivated.
Having come this far, he held nothing back.
"It shouldn’t be long!"
"Elder Xiong mentioned before that his next return would bring even more resources to aid the sect. When the time comes, I’ll personally urge the Holy Maiden to arrange an introduction for you!"
"Speaking of Elder Xiong, his demeanor has become utterly transcendent, unfathomably profound! This is a top-secret matter—you must never breathe a word of it!"
Yi Feng’s heart raced with excitement as he vowed firmly.
"Don’t worry, my lips are sealed! Thank you, Brother Hu!"
Hu Weifang waved his hands in flustered humility.
"Young Master Yi, you honor me too much."
"As an elder and our benefactor, you mustn’t address me so casually. The moment Elder Xiong returns, I’ll notify you at once!"
The two exchanged a look of shared anticipation.
With this unexpected revelation, Yi Feng felt his grand plan was all but assured. The thought of meeting the terrifying Elder Xiong and encountering that mysterious faction made success seem within reach.
...
Yunxing.
Dark Shadow Island.
A construction site on the urban-rural fringe.
The legendary Elder Xiong Fen and his son were diligently hauling bricks, their movements smooth and effortless. The two were doing the work of four, leaving their fellow laborers in despair.
Only at dinner did Xiong Fen finally pause.
Wiping sweat from his brow, he whispered to his son.
"Son, have you seen the foreman around?"

"Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
