Chapter 1123: A Dangerous Responsibility

Lan Star.

Moon God Pavilion.

The sea of clouds shimmered with the golden hues of the setting sun, transforming into countless shapes, bringing a sense of peace to Yi Feng's heart, as if he had returned to his carefree days of the past.

As another day passed, he gradually grew accustomed to his identity as "Elder Yi" and the leisurely daily routine.

Following his usual routine, Yi Feng was about to enjoy some fruits and pastries, then sneak out for a stroll, while also gathering some information about powerful figures.

Suddenly.

There was a knock at the door.

"Knock, knock!"

This kind of disturbance was something Yi Feng was already used to; it was likely another visitor seeking an audience, hoping to curry favor with him, the elder.

He hadn't even sorted out his own affairs yet, how could he have time to deal with others?

Just as he was about to return to his room for dinner, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Elder Yi, it's Hu Weixuan. The Sect Master has summoned you for an important matter!"

The Sect Master's summons?

Yi Feng was startled by the voice, stood up, and opened the courtyard gate.

Only then did he see Hu Weixuan standing anxiously at the door, his face immediately breaking into a smile as he bowed, showing a much closer demeanor.

"Young Master Yi!"

"Please come with me quickly, the Sect Master urgently summons all the elders!"

Seeing the urgency of the matter, Yi Feng hurriedly followed.

As they passed through courtyards and halls, disciples along the way continuously bowed in greeting, but Yi Feng paid little attention. Noticing Hu Weixuan's anxious demeanor, he took the opportunity to inquire, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"What's happened?"

Hu Weixuan, leading the way, turned back at the question.

As they were about to enter the main courtyard of the grand hall, with no one else around, he quietly leaned in and bowed.

"Young Master Yi, recently our sect has encountered a formidable enemy. Today, the Sect Master has summoned all the elders to discuss countermeasures. Didn't you receive the message on your elder's token?"

Yi Feng shook his head in confusion, his eyes even more curious.

"No, I found the token too conspicuous, so I put it in my storage ring. I didn't sense anything."

"What kind of formidable enemy is so powerful that the Sect Master has summoned all the elders?"

Hu Weixuan leaned in closer and whispered, "It's like this, Young Master Yi. There's a sect called the Scarlet Heaven Sect. In just a few days, it suddenly rose to prominence, with an extremely ruthless style, annihilating several sects. Recently, there have been many frictions with our Moon God Pavilion, and a conflict seems inevitable. Please be cautious with your words later."

Seeing Hu Weixuan's serious expression and the tone full of well-meaning caution, Yi Feng realized this summons was no ordinary matter.

He had thought it was just an old men's meeting, but it turned out to be about a formidable enemy, and it seemed quite impressive, even causing the Moon God Pavilion to be wary. Could there really be such a good opportunity?

Yi Feng's spirits lifted immediately.

"Is the Scarlet Heaven Sect really that powerful?"

"Extremely powerful!"

Hu Weixuan nodded gravely, then quickly stepped aside to make way.

"I can't say more about this matter. Please proceed to the grand hall for the discussion. I cannot continue to accompany you, please forgive me."

Seeing Hu Weixuan's secretive and urgent manner, Yi Feng became even more expectant.

He nodded seriously and strode forward.

Passing through a towering immortal gate, following a jade path around a square surrounded by a sea of clouds, he finally arrived at the majestic grand hall.

Looking up.

On the ancient plaque, the three characters "Moon God Hall" shone brilliantly, bathed in the setting sun, exuding an inviolable sacred light.

As an elder, this was Yi Feng's first time visiting the grand hall of the Moon God Pavilion. At a glance, his heart was stirred, filled with awe for the powerful Moon God Pavilion, and even more anticipation for the legendary formidable enemy.

Stepping in steadily, the hall was already filled with the presence of the sect's leaders!

Elders sat on both sides, mostly white-haired old men.

The elders sat in rows on both sides, with the Holy Maiden Qing Yin Xian Yun sitting quietly at the head of the right row, her status transcendent.

In the vast hall, less than twenty people sat in silence, yet the atmosphere was extraordinary. Each elder had an impressive demeanor, clearly not ordinary individuals, showcasing the depth of the Moon God Pavilion's heritage.

On the main seat, a middle-aged man sat steadily on a jade cloud chair. His face was scholarly and serene, seemingly gentle, yet capable of suppressing all the experts present.

This person was none other than Xue Fengtian, the Sect Master of the Moon God Pavilion.

Looking at the various experts with their imposing auras and the clearly defined hierarchy, Yi Feng immediately understood the situation and felt a bit of anticipation.

This was his first time attending a meeting as an elder, and he felt a little nervous.

Especially when he stepped into the hall, all eyes turned to him, the excessive attention indeed putting some pressure on him.

Fortunately, Qing Yin Xian Yun stood up with a smile.

"Elder Yi, over here."

Only then did Yi Feng notice an empty seat on the right, neither too high nor too low, exactly the second from the last.

This girl is really thoughtful!

Yi Feng also cupped his hands in salute and strode forward.

This invitation and seating were observed by all the elders present. While they didn't show obvious emotions, their eyes flickered with various thoughts, all tactfully saluting.

"Elder Yi."

Yi Feng didn't pay much attention, returning the salutes one by one.

At the same time, he also symbolically saluted the Sect Master on the main seat.

The Sect Master seemed much more magnanimous, nodding slightly with a smile.

"Elder Yi, no need for formalities, please take your seat."

After Yi Feng took his seat.

This seemingly gentle and scholarly middle-aged man suddenly exuded a majestic aura, looking down at the elders, suppressing all the varied expressions!

"Gentlemen!"

"Since all the elders have arrived, let's begin discussing how to deal with the Scarlet Heaven Sect."

With this steady opening, all the elders looked up.

Instantly.

A solemn atmosphere filled the hall, and no one dared to speak out of turn.

Although Yi Feng was new to this, he was no stranger to such scenes. It was quite similar to the meetings he attended in his previous life at work. He just needed to blend in with the atmosphere.

But hearing about the Scarlet Heaven Sect, he was extremely attentive, listening intently.

"Recently."

"The Scarlet Heaven Sect has suddenly risen, from an unknown small sect to a prominent sect in a short time, surpassing the accumulation of other sects over thousands of years. This growth speed is too terrifying."

"No one knows the internal reasons for its rise, but the ruthlessness of the Scarlet Heaven Sect is something you must have heard of. In just a few days, two major sects have been annihilated, and no one who has encountered them has survived!"

"Since ancient times, sect conflicts have been common, but no one has ever been so ruthless. Now, the Scarlet Heaven Sect has had frictions with our Moon God Pavilion, and it's estimated that the flames of war will eventually reach our sect. What do you all think?"

As these words were spoken, everyone's expressions became grave.

Several elders stood up one after another, quickly engaging in heated debates.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, this old man believes that the Scarlet Heaven Sect is merely temporarily powerful, and we need not pay too much attention!"

"Elder Chen, your words are mistaken. If we do not remove the hidden danger, it will bring endless calamity! If we allow the Scarlet Heaven Sect to act recklessly now, it will inevitably threaten our Moon God Pavilion in the future!"

"Exactly! In my opinion, this battle is unavoidable!"

"The other side has suddenly risen, they must have some reliance. Acting rashly is definitely not a good strategy!"

...

Watching a group of old men arguing until their faces turned red, it seemed like they couldn't reach a consensus.

Yi Feng also gained some understanding.

This Scarlet Heaven Sect is indeed something, probably really strong!

Otherwise, the elders of the Moon God Pavilion wouldn't be arguing so fiercely, almost making Yi Feng's eyes pop out, as if witnessing a bargaining scene in a market.

If they keep arguing like this.

By the time the enemy comes knocking, there might still be no result.

The Sect Master of the Moon God Pavilion also frowned slightly, turning his gaze to Qing Yin Xian Yun.

"Yun'er, what do you think?"

This question.

The elders also quieted down a bit, their eyes focusing on her.

Qing Yin Xian Yun stood up and saluted, speaking solemnly.

"Reporting to Master."

"Your disciple believes that the Scarlet Heaven Sect is definitely not a benevolent force. Now that we have had frictions with them, a future conflict seems unavoidable. The best strategy now is to first investigate their details and strength, and then make a plan."

As these words were spoken, the Sect Master stroked his beard and nodded.

"Hmm, that makes sense. We should first send someone to investigate."

The surrounding elders also fell silent, nodding in agreement.

But thinking about someone having to infiltrate the Scarlet Heaven Sect for investigation, the old men all showed hesitation, especially since the enemy's strength was unknown. Facing such a ruthless sect, the danger was far beyond imagination.

Everyone present was shrewd, well aware of the risks involved.

It was their duty to go through fire and water for the sect, but no one was unafraid of death. This life-threatening mission made everyone present apprehensive and uneasy.

Suddenly, the hall fell into silence.

Feeling the heavy atmosphere, it was as if a great disaster was about to strike, ten thousand times more terrifying than a teacher's question in a classroom in his previous life. The danger of the Scarlet Heaven Sect was evident.

Even the Sect Master stroked his beard, deep in thought.

This subtle atmosphere made Yi Feng even more excited.

Without needing anyone to point it out, he knew that the danger they were facing this time was definitely far greater than before. Otherwise, these powerful figures who dominated their respective regions wouldn't be so conflicted.

This was a great opportunity to seek death!

The more Yi Feng looked, the more excited he became, and he decisively stood up and saluted!

"Sect Master! I am willing to go and investigate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Sect Master and the elders all looked up sharply, their eyes wide with surprise!
