Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 493 - 507: Crescent Sect

Hearing this, Chu Linfeng felt a bit puzzled, especially upon hearing the word "antidote," which truly surprised him. Clearly, someone was controlling him, needing him to complete a task before he could get the antidote, but he had no idea what he needed to do.

Seeing this middle-aged man looking extremely troubled, it was certainly something he least wanted to do. Chu Linfeng decided to investigate this matter thoroughly, as it might be connected to the Dark Forces.

The three of them chatted a bit more before preparing to leave. Chu Linfeng, however, didn’t move. His Divine Sense had already locked onto the three of them, so even if they flew several miles away, he could easily find them.

"Lin Feng, do you think there’s something wrong with those three?" Sword Spirit asked at this moment.

"Indeed, Sister Yue’Er, do you feel the same?" Chu Linfeng asked. When entering the city, Chu Linfeng had the Golden Demon Vulture return to his body as he didn’t want to expose his identity. It was easier to act alone.

"Nonsense, if I didn’t know, that would be a real problem. All three have Demonic Qi on them, yet they are all from Canglan Ancient Land. What does that tell you? I believe you should understand!" Sword Spirit said.

"I don’t understand. As you know, I’m quite stupid and dislike using my brain. Why don’t you just tell me directly what you know!" Chu Linfeng said.

"Then you can just wait slowly and don’t disturb me. Let’s see how long you can hold out." Sword Spirit replied.

Hearing Sword Spirit’s words, Chu Linfeng panicked and quickly said, "Sister Yue’Er, there’s no need to get angry. I was just joking with you."

This is probably someone controlled by the Dark Forces. I have an inkling that the reason a Sect could be wiped out instantly is that its members might have been sabotaged, for example, poisoned and consequently lost the ability to resist. Naturally, at that time, only death awaited them. From that man’s words, you can tell he was assigned something harmful to his Sect.

He is very reluctant to do it, but he has been poisoned, and the one who poisoned him gives him the antidote at the end of each month, forcing him to do something against his will. It’s obvious that the poison is severe, making life worse than death; otherwise, he wouldn’t commit such heinous acts.

"Hmm, your analysis makes sense. The person is already far away, aren’t you going to follow and check it out? Maybe this time, you will get what you need, and I might also help you see if we can gather more useful information." Sword Spirit said.

After finishing speaking, Chu Linfeng paid the bill and left the teahouse. Based on the direction the three were locked in his Divine Sense, he quickly followed. He dared not fly too fast, to avoid arousing their suspicion, maintaining a distance of five miles behind them.

Their speed wasn’t fast either, and it wasn’t until late afternoon that they landed from the air. It was a large mountain with a sizable building at the top.

The three directly trekked up the mountain on foot. Once they disappeared from sight, Chu Linfeng landed, looking at the surrounding environment with a slight smile.

This is, in fact, the famous West Moon Mountain in Canglan Ancient Land. On this mountain, there’s a Sect whose strength is by no means inferior to the Nine Major Sects. However, the Sect Master is highly modest, and the Sect is secluded from the world.

The Sect is called the Crescent Sect. It is said that the Sect Master is an expert who reached the Fourth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm. He is over three hundred years old but still looks like a middle-aged man, which shows the depth of his cultivation.

Chu Linfeng followed the path up the mountain. Crescent Sect, unlike other Sects, didn’t have many disciples standing guard. From the foot of the mountain to the waist, Chu Linfeng only saw five or six disciples, but he cleverly avoided them.

Soon, he reached the top of the mountain. The Crescent Sect wasn’t very large, and its building structure was similar to the original Green Frost Sect, appearing rather ancient.

However, there were quite a few disciples moving around at that moment. To prevent revealing his identity, Chu Linfeng used Earth Transformation to conceal himself underground, and slowly infiltrated the Sect.

Along the way, he naturally heard many conversations among the disciples, but they were mostly trivial matters. Soon, he heard a familiar voice, which was that of the middle-aged man who had spoken in the teahouse.

Chu Linfeng hid within the soil, not daring to emerge, yet he could clearly hear the conversation. The middle-aged man said, "If the Sect Master finds out about this, we might not live to see another day. How should we proceed?"

"Why are you so timid? The Tian Shuang Poison is colorless and odorless; there won’t be any signs for two days. By then, we would be long gone, and the rest won’t be your concern." Another person replied.

"But after all, the Sect Master has raised and nurtured us. I really can’t bring myself to do it. How about you help me with this?" the middle-aged man said with great difficulty.

"This matter can only be handled by you personally. Other disciples’ matters are up to us, but only you can deal with the Sect Master. The only person the Sect Master trusts in the Crescent Sect is you. The Sect Master treats food as dispensable; to make him ingest this poison, only you can manage it." One of them said.

Chu Linfeng truly understood now. It turns out that this middle-aged man is the person the Crescent Sect Master trusts the most. Yet, the person he trusts the most is considering a way to poison him. It’s truly the most tragic thing.

Chu Linfeng strongly desires to storm out and chop down the three treacherous, mad men, but he knows he can’t be impulsive. To obtain real clues, these three cannot be killed.

Gaining clues from these three is likely to be of little use; they certainly know very little. Chu Linfeng didn’t want to alert the enemy, so he could only wait patiently.

Although he wishes to save Crescent Sect, his identity is currently unknown, making it difficult to explain to the Sect Master. Besides, the Crescent Sect Master is very powerful; while he isn’t afraid, he worries about causing a misunderstanding. He hopes that he can save him at the last critical moment.

Having made up his mind, Chu Linfeng slowly left the area. He needs to find the Sect Master’s room, so that if the Sect Master is poisoned and in danger, he can save him.

Traveling stealthily through the soil, Chu Linfeng became faster and faster, almost reaching the speed of walking on the road. Unconsciously, he had circled around the entire Crescent Sect. Although he wasn’t sure what was happening on the surface, he roughly knew the location of the Sect Master’s room...
