Enemies on a Narrow Road

Hearing the question.

Yi Feng took out a simple map from his chest pocket and scrutinized it. After pointing at a few spots, he raised his eyes and looked toward the courtyards to the north.

"We are currently between the outer and inner sects."

"If we continue north, that largest courtyard area is where the elders and protectors reside. I imagine we'll reap some good rewards there. Since we are launching the first battle of our guerrilla warfare, we naturally have to pick a big target!"

Hearing this and looking at the rough map in his hands, the Youth in Black's eyes lit up brightly. He hurriedly leaned in to take a closer look for a few breaths, then followed Yi Feng's gaze to observe for a moment, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.

"Good heavens!"

"This young master only saw you head out for a little while earlier, how did you manage to bring back a map?"

"This map looks simple, but it doesn't seem to have any major errors. No wonder we sneaked in so smoothly. You are simply too awesome!"

Hearing this, Yi Feng smiled, put away the map, and looked back.

"It's nothing much. When I went out earlier, I gave the waiter some silver and casually asked a few questions. Then I chatted with the various guests at the inn for a while, which gave me a rough understanding of the Tianyuan Sect. By compiling their descriptions, I managed to sketch out this map."

"To be honest, this sketch is still a bit too brief, and there are many important places that I haven't figured out yet. This is especially true for the most important treasure vault, which is impossible for outsiders to know about. This Tianyuan Sect is simply too large; we'll have to come a few more times before we can pinpoint its exact location."

Hearing this, the Youth in Black couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Mhm, now this is what you call professional!"

"We definitely have to come a few more times; we must find their treasure vault no matter what! This young master has his eyes set on this Tianyuan Sect, we're going to fleece them until they're completely bald!"

The more the two talked, the more expectant they became. Under the cover of the night, they silently flew across the rooftops.

Heading north all the way, they slipped past several large compounds belonging to the inner sect disciples and finally arrived at their target destination.

Looking ahead, the area was filled with elegant courtyards that were noticeably more magnificent than the ones they had seen earlier. Further away, four particular courtyards looked even more luxurious, planted with all sorts of exotic flowers.

The Youth in Black watched with gleaming eyes. Crossing his arms over his chest, he smiled and spoke.

"Mhm, it seems the area ahead should be the residences of the Tianyuan Sect's elders."

Yi Feng nodded in agreement. He examined the nearby courtyards for a few moments, then softly spoke while taking out the map to make some marks.

"These courtyards right in front of us are also out of the ordinary."

"If I'm not mistaken, the owners of these residences hold significant status. They should belong to the protectors and deacons of the Tianyuan Sect."

Hearing this, the Youth in Black looked back with a smile.

"Protectors of the Tianyuan Sect?"

"Hehe, then there should be some good loot to squeeze out of them. This young master won't hold back!"

Right after those words, a dark silhouette flashed past in an instant.

In just a few breaths of time, he had completely searched the row of courtyards before him. With such agile footwork, he truly lived up to his background as a seasoned fighter. His movements were incredibly sharp, and his ability to conceal his aura reached a level where neither gods nor ghosts would notice!

Yi Feng stood on the eaves to keep watch. After waiting quietly for a long while, he finally saw his brother return.

Who would have thought that this guy would be holding over a dozen storage rings in his hand, yet wearing a look of utter disgust.

"Damn it..."

"This young master is truly speechless. What kind of dog-shit Tianyuan Sect protectors are these? They're living too miserably! It's all trash inside, they don't even have much silver! It pissed this young master off so much that I slit all their throats!"

"We'd better go study the elders' courtyards ahead. There's no future in this area!"

Yi Feng smiled without saying a word, continuing to lead the Youth in Black forward.

This time, their movements were much more cautious, and their auras were completely concealed. They landed on the nearest flying eaves to observe quietly, without rashly making a move right away.

After all.

The four courtyards before them were home to the Tianyuan Sect's four great protectors. Their cultivation bases were no weaker than theirs. Even if they were launching a night-time guerrilla sneak attack, they could not let their guard down!

At a glance.

The first three courtyards had no lights, seemingly already deep in slumber.

The two couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. The elders of the Tianyuan Sect were all experts in the Heavenly Sun Realm. Abstaining from food for a month was nothing to them, so how could their daily lives be so regulated?

Just as the two exchanged suspicious glances, a light ahead caught their attention.

Driven by curiosity.

Yi Feng and the Youth in Black stealthily flew over, doing their best to conceal their auras. Using the bamboo grove in the courtyard as cover, they approached the large, brightly lit house.

Peering quietly through the window, they actually discovered their enemy, Feng Mofeng, whom they had just fought earlier.

Enemies truly do cross paths on narrow roads!

Unconsciously, the two began to watch even more closely!

The old man was currently sitting upright on a soft couch, adjusting his breathing. Beside him lay a brocade box containing a single medicinal pill, which looked extremely extraordinary.

Looking at this scene.

The two exchanged a quiet glance, and a plan instantly formed in their minds.

Yi Feng made a series of hand gestures, and the Youth in Black immediately understood, hiding behind the bamboo grove.

Next, Yi Feng channeled all of his cultivation and launched a palm strike through the window straight at the figure adjusting his breathing inside the room!

"Boom!"

Profound spiritual energy suddenly erupted, its momentum shocking Feng Mofeng into opening his eyes!

"Who is it!"

Before he could take a closer look, a fierce gale had already shattered the wooden window and outer wall, sending dirt and rocks flying into the quiet room!

The spiritual energy and palm wind were extraordinary. Feng Mofeng was startled; disregarding everything else, he flew upward, bursting through the roof to evade the sneak attack!

By the time he landed on the roof, the courtyard was already filled with a chaotic cloud of dust and smoke!

Only that familiar figure stood tall, causing Feng Mofeng's pupils to shrink at the sight!

"It's you!"

"Good boy, to think you'd dare to come to my Tianyuan Sect alone for a sneak attack. Today, I will definitely make you perish and your Dao vanish!"

Feng Mofeng completely hadn't expected Yi Feng to actually attack his doorstep and even destroy his courtyard's quiet room. He was instantly infuriated, his eyes brimming with killing intent!

But before he could strike, Yi Feng flew away!

This action made Feng Mofeng grit his teeth even more. Unable to vent the raging fire in his heart, he let his anger get the better of him and urgently chased after him!

Once the two had flown off one after the other, the astonishing tremors sparked an uproar of exclamations all around. Nearly half of the Tianyuan Sect had been alarmed, and disciples of all kinds rushed over upon hearing the commotion!

Seeing the Fourth Elder rapidly chasing an unfamiliar figure through the sky, all eyes were drawn to the spectacle.

For a time, gasps and shouts erupted in all directions, as more and more figures looked up at the sky in shock!

"What was that sound!"

"What happened?"

"Look quickly, isn't that the Fourth Elder up in the sky?"

"There's another person flying away in the distance!"

"Just who is it that could make the Fourth Elder personally pursue them to kill!"

"To think this person could infiltrate our Tianyuan Sect, they are definitely no ordinary individual!"

Taking advantage of the Tianyuan Sect being in a state of chaos.

The Youth in Black quickly dashed into the quiet room, found that medicinal pill in a few swift moves, and escaped amidst the confusion, completely vanishing into the night.

Amidst the clamor.

Feng Mofeng continuously chased the figure before him, his heart set on murder!

He had already suffered an unfavorable start earlier and nearly made a fool of himself. He never expected the other party to come knocking on his door. If he didn't take down this brat tonight, what face would he have left in the future!

However, the more his killing intent boiled, the more the other party erupted with spiritual energy to frantically flee. Feng Mofeng, who had already consumed a great deal of energy, couldn't catch up no matter how hard he chased.

Seeing that he had already chased for a hundred miles, the various voices of the Tianyuan Sect disciples had long since faded away.

He still found it difficult to catch up to that detestable Yi Feng. Left with no choice, he could only turn back, preparing to bring enough men tomorrow to flatten the New Sword Sect and settle both old and new grudges!

By the time he returned to his residence.

Curious inner sect disciples had already gathered all around. Seeing the crowd, Feng Mofeng subconsciously wanted to rush into the courtyard to find his pills, but then he suddenly realized something!

"Oh no..."

"Could it be!"

Ignoring the greetings of the numerous disciples, Feng Mofeng strode into the courtyard and rummaged through the ruins of the meditation room for a long time. Sure enough, there was no trace of his pills.

Instantly, he roared incessantly, his hair standing on end from sheer fury!

"Bastards!"

"Bastards!!!"

He had been tricked.

He had fallen for the scheme of luring the tiger away from the mountain!

Just at this moment, waves of shocked and angry whispers came from behind him.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Several protectors have been assassinated!"

Hearing this, Feng Mofeng stiffened. His fury surged to the extreme, and his furious roar pierced the very clouds!

"You little thieves!"

"This old man will not rest until you two are dead!"

In his explosive rage, Feng Mofeng's hair and beard danced wildly as his spiritual energy erupted. The terrifying aura alarmed more than half of the Heavenly Fate Sect, and the news of the fallen protectors spread like a hurricane!

In just a few breaths of time.

The main hall of the Heavenly Fate Sect was packed with figures. Even the Great Elder, who had been in secluded cultivation for a long time, was alarmed and emerged. Sect Master Jin Zhenyuan glared furiously and issued an order on the spot!

"Audacious thieves! How dare you assassinate our sect's protectors!"

"Who exactly did this!"

"Summon the Fourth Elder immediately!"

Before dawn had even broken, the entire Heavenly Fate Sect had plunged into an unprecedented panic. The disciples were thoroughly terrified, and the upper echelon was completely enraged.

When Feng Mofeng stepped into the main hall and explained what he had witnessed, it left all the higher-ups of the Heavenly Fate Sect in a state of absolute shock and fury!
