Chapter 1126: The Terrifying Chixiao Heavenly Sect

As soon as they entered the area where the enemy was known to appear, everyone's expressions became tense, as if every bush and tree could hide a threat.

Before Yi Feng could speak, the plump old man raised his hand to stop the disciples behind him and issued a stern command.

"All disciples, listen up."

"To avoid alerting the enemy, immediately conceal your auras, change into plain clothes, and no more flying without permission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two elders began changing their clothes first.

The disciples behind them also quickly changed into plain attire. Everyone acted in perfect unison, without a hint of hesitation, moving swiftly and efficiently.

Yi Feng was momentarily stunned.

He truly hadn't expected the people from the Moon God Pavilion to be this cautious.

It made sense to be low-key when gathering intelligence, but they hadn't even seen a shadow of the enemy yet, and they were already taking all these precautions. Wasn't this a bit too cautious?

Seeing that Yi Feng hadn't moved, the plump Elder Wang bowed solemnly, a hint of irritation in his tone.

"Elder Yi, we are here to gather intelligence for our sect, and we cannot afford any carelessness. The Chixiao Heavenly Sect is extremely formidable. We must proceed with utmost caution. You may not know how powerful the Chixiao Heavenly Sect is, but we have heard of their reputation and are familiar with the surroundings. We hope you will heed our advice!"

Yi Feng wasn't bothered by the old man's stubbornness, but the tension in his voice made him even more curious.

If the two elders from the Moon God Pavilion were this cautious, even going so far as to repeatedly issue warnings, the Chixiao Heavenly Sect must indeed be incredibly powerful!

At this thought, Yi Feng's eyes lit up with interest.

"Elders, is the Chixiao Heavenly Sect really that formidable?"

The plump elder's expression darkened, and the thin elder stepped forward with a serious bow.

"Elder Yi, you must not underestimate them. The strength of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect is likely on par with our Moon God Pavilion! We will naturally follow your orders later, but we urge you to proceed with caution!"

On par with the Moon God Pavilion?

If that was the case, their leader must be at least as powerful as the Moon God Pavilion's master!

Yi Feng's eyes sparkled with excitement.

He also began changing into his own plain clothes.

Seeing him take action, the two elders finally breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the thirty disciples to prepare. They brought out various magical tools and weapons, arming themselves to the teeth.

Perhaps the heavens didn't want their caution to be in vain, as a small flying vessel soon appeared in the distance!

However, when they saw the flag on the front of the vessel, the two elders' expressions changed dramatically.

"It's the Chixiao Heavenly Sect!"

"All disciples, conceal your auras immediately!"

The group crouched at the edge of the dense forest, their faces tense as they stared at the flying vessel in the distant sky, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Yi Feng, however, looked puzzled and turned to whisper.

"That looks like an ordinary flying vessel. There probably aren't any important figures on board, right? Do we really need to be this cautious?"

He had come to the Chixiao Heavenly Sect to encounter true experts. Seeing a small flying vessel and reacting like this made it hard for him to feel excited. He couldn't understand why everyone was so tense.

But the plump elder beside him wore a look of deep concern.

"Elder Yi, you don't understand. The Chixiao Heavenly Sect is ruthless and acts with lightning speed. Just two days ago, they annihilated the Wanyue Heavenly Sect in less than a night. No one knows how they did it."

The thin elder nodded gravely.

"That's right."

"The strength of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect is likely even greater than we imagine. We must treat this with the utmost seriousness. Even if it's just a single flying vessel, we cannot afford to be careless."

That powerful?

Hearing this, Yi Feng also focused his attention on the distant sky.

From afar, the flying vessel was passing through the clouds. It was about a hundred feet long, not particularly conspicuous in the vast sky. If it weren't for the recent rise in their reputation, and the fact that the Moon God Pavilion and Yi Feng had come specifically to gather intelligence, it would have been easy to overlook.

To an uninformed observer, it would have seemed like just an ordinary flying vessel.

In reality, however, the vessel carried over a dozen formidable figures!

Inside the vessel, luxurious chairs were filled with figures cloaked in black robes, their faces hidden. The once splendid chamber was now shrouded in dim light, exuding a suffocating pressure.

The black-robed figures sitting silently on either side made no sound, as if they were in a deep slumber.

Until a voice echoed from outside the chamber.

"Reporting to the Sect Master and Elders."

"The vessel is about to enter the territory of the Moon God Pavilion. In less than half a day, we will reach the Moon God Pavilion!"

Instantly, the cloaked figures slowly raised their heads, dark energy swirling around them, exuding an unfathomable aura. Their eyes glowed with a terrifying, blood-red light.

All of them turned in unison and bowed toward the main seat.

On the grand chair sat an elderly man with white hair and a beard, his eyes gleaming with a cold, sinister light. Despite his advanced age, his skin was smooth and youthful, as if he had regained his youth.

He was the mysterious Sect Master of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect, Tu Daofang.

Tu Daofang's figure was enveloped in dark mist, making it difficult to discern his aura. Only the faint outline of his face was visible to the elders, his aged eyes flashing with a horrifying killing intent.

His hands rested on the black armrests of the chair as he spoke in a deep, chilling voice.

"This time, we must annihilate the Moon God Pavilion and establish the reputation and dominance of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect. From this day forward, we shall reign supreme over the Southern Li Heavenly Domain!"

All the black-robed elders clasped their fists and responded in unison.

The ambitious smiles on their faces, visible in the dim light, seemed almost sinister, their ruthlessness beyond ordinary comprehension.

"We obey the Sect Master's command!"

As the order was issued, hoarse voices of discussion echoed through the chamber.

"The Sect Master is wise. The Moon God Pavilion will never expect us to strike so suddenly!"

"What is the Moon God Pavilion? Just another Heavenly Sect. How many Heavenly Sects have we already destroyed?"

"With only a few stragglers left from the major Heavenly Sects, they are no threat. Once we eliminate the Moon God Pavilion, we can dominate the western reaches of the Southern Li Heavenly Domain and ascend to the Heavenly Sect's domain!"

"The Sect Master is wise, his reign eternal!"

Hoarse laughter filled the chamber as dark mist swirled around.

The terrifying killing intent caused the temperature to plummet, and the unfathomable auras intertwined. Even if a regular Heaven-tier expert were present, they would surely pale in fear!

These mysterious and fearsome beings had already decided everything.

All their secrets were concealed within the seemingly ordinary flying vessel, hidden from prying eyes. It was as if a calamity had descended from the heavens, unpredictable and swift.

From their hiding spot, Yi Feng and the others continued to observe the vessel.

Deep within the forest where they were concealed, another group of powerful figures watched the sky with wary eyes, their expressions filled with grief and anger, as if they could no longer wait.

As the flying vessel glided through the clouds, approaching the forest, a burly man with a thick beard clenched his fists and turned to his companions.

"The scoundrels of the Chixiao Heavenly Sect are here. Shall we strike?!"
