Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 494 - 508: Countering the Scheme with a Scheme

Chu Linfeng had been hidden under the room of the Moon Tooth Sect Master, fully aware of the events happening above. The next day, a middle-aged man walked in.

"Lu Yang greets the Sect Master. The tasks you assigned have all been completed. Elder Xu hopes the Sect Master can meet at the South Mountain Peak in mid-next month," the middle-aged man said respectfully.

"You’ve worked hard, Yang’er. Did anything else happen during your trip? Was there any major unrest in the Canglan Ancient Land?" the Moon Tooth Sect Master asked.

"Indeed, a few major events occurred this time. The Sect Master might know about the martial arts tournament. The Green Frost Sect, which had declined for thousands of years, suddenly produced a super genius. This person managed to kill the Pavilion Master of the Mist Rain Pavilion single-handedly, and, because of his appearance, the Green Frost Sect rose and became one of the Nine Major Sects," the middle-aged man said.

"Something like that happened? What’s the person’s name? Why have I never heard of such a talent in the Green Frost Sect?" the Moon Tooth Sect Master asked.

"I don’t know the exact name, but this person is very young, no more than twenty years old. It’s said that he has yet to break through to the Saint Martial Realm, but the fact that he could kill someone at the Third Layer of the Saint Martial Realm is truly unbelievable," the middle-aged man said.

Chu Linfeng found it amusing. If I had broken through to the Saint Martial Realm, would I still be lurking within the earth’s layers? Not slaying someone like him would be a disservice to myself.

"This person is not simple. It seems that the Canglan Ancient Land is in for more events. Such a powerful figure likely inherited the legacy of a peerless master. He is not someone to be offended," the Moon Tooth Sect Master said.

"There are also a few strange events. Several minor sects were wiped out overnight, and the deaths were terrifying. Their blood was drained, leaving nothing but skin," the middle-aged man said.

The Moon Tooth Sect Master pondered for a moment before speaking: "This is indeed a major concern. For a sect to be destroyed overnight, not only must the opposing force be powerful, but there might be a traitor within the sect. Otherwise, such a clean job wouldn’t be possible. It’s known that many minor sects have ties with the major sects. If something happens, they’d surely send out a warning.

Though the Crescent Sect doesn’t interfere with the world, we must guard against such occurrences. Yang’er, you should strengthen the sect’s vigilance, and inform me immediately of any signs," the Sect Master said. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Rest assured, Sect Master, I will do my utmost to handle this matter!" the middle-aged man said.

Chu Linfeng secretly laughed. You are the traitor, yet you’re so composed—commendable indeed. A villain will always be a villain.

"Sect Master, this time I’ve brought back a delicacy called spicy chicken. It’s made from snow chicken meat from the snowy mountains and is said to be very tasty. Would you like to try it?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yang’er, you’re so considerate. If that’s the case, then go and bring it," the Moon Tooth Sect Master replied, and Lu Yang left the room.

At this moment, the Moon Tooth Sect Master spoke: "My friend, since you’ve been here for two days, why not show yourself? I didn’t expect there to be someone else in the world as adept at earth transformation as I am, truly remarkable."

Chu Linfeng was startled to hear this, not expecting the Moon Tooth Sect Master to be aware of his presence. From his tone, it seemed he too could perform earth transformation. With his Fourth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm strength, it was naturally not difficult to discover him.

Chu Linfeng emerged from the earth’s layers and approached the Moon Tooth Sect Master, saying, "Lin Feng greets the Sect Master. I didn’t expect the Sect Master to know of my existence. Your strength is indeed extraordinary!"

The Moon Tooth Sect Master carefully examined Chu Linfeng, somewhat taken aback. The man clearly hadn’t reached the Saint Martial Realm, but gave off a dangerous aura, as if he were a sharp blade that could wound him at any moment.

"Why have you come to my Crescent Sect, and for what purpose? If you don’t clarify, today will be your last. Don’t think you’re impressive, hiding within the earth’s layers. Remember, I can walk through the earth, too—best abandon this thought," the Moon Tooth Sect Master said.

"Haha, did I say I was going to escape? Although you are at the Fourth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, this Sect Master is not afraid at all. Since you’ve discovered me, I might as well tell you—I’m actually here to save you. You should be thanking me," Chu Linfeng said fearlessly.

"This Sect Master? Which sect are you the master of? Since you are also a sect leader, you should understand the consequences of trespassing into another sect. I hope to hear a reasonable explanation. What do you mean by saving me?" the Moon Tooth Sect Master asked.

Only then did Chu Linfeng formally look at the Moon Tooth Sect Master. This person exuded an aura of immortality and righteousness, much like the portraits of Qingshuang he had seen before—kind yet dignified.

"I am the Green Frost Sect Master your traitor mentioned. I overheard your good disciple’s intentions to harm the Sect Master quite accidentally when I came to the Crescent Sect. I also wish to uncover the true culprits behind the destruction of the minor sects. I know infiltrating your sect without permission was wrong, but I had no choice. I beg your pardon, Sect Master," Chu Linfeng said, neither arrogant nor servile.

Upon hearing this, the Moon Tooth Sect Master began to take Chu Linfeng seriously. A person capable of killing a strong Third Layer of the Divine Martial Realm practitioner with one sword certainly had extraordinary strength. No wonder he felt this person was exuding a dangerous aura.

"Since it’s Sect Master Chu, I have nothing more to say. The Green Frost Sect Master of the Nine Major Sects coming to the Crescent Sect is an honor indeed. We all understand each other’s position, so I ask Sect Master Chu to state your true intentions!" the Moon Tooth Sect Master said.

"I have already stated my intentions, but you refuse to believe them. I have no more words," Chu Linfeng laughed.

"Sect Master Chu’s words are baffling. Yang’er is inherently kind-hearted and highly respectful toward me. I find it hard to believe your claims. I would appreciate more details!" the Moon Tooth Sect Master said.

"Several minor sects being wiped out is actually closely linked to some dark forces. Your beloved disciple has been controlled by individuals from these dark forces; he was probably forced to take some drug. If he doesn’t comply with their instructions, his life might be in danger. His return to the Crescent Sect is likely related to this matter.

A sect being wiped out surely involves a traitor. His return this time is to poison you. Didn’t he just say he brought back spicy chicken for you? If I’m not mistaken, that spicy chicken is poisoned—it is colorless and tasteless, and it takes two days to take effect. By then, it might be the time those dark forces make their move to destroy your Crescent Sect," Chu Linfeng said seriously.

"Is there really such a thing? If what you say is true, I wouldn’t mind executing that traitorous scum later," the Moon Tooth Sect Master said angrily.

"If you do that, won’t it alert the enemy? Why not play along with it, just don’t eat the spicy chicken. In two days, if things are as I say, everything will be clear. Rest assured, Sect Master, since I’ve come, I won’t stand by idly. With our combined strength, I believe these dark forces will suffer a devastating blow," Chu Linfeng said...
