Chapter 1472: Enemies Cross Paths

Listening to the question, Yi Feng took out a simple map from his pocket and examined it carefully. After pointing and gesturing for a while, he looked up and gazed toward the northern courtyard.

"We're currently between the inner and outer gates," he said.

"If we continue north, the largest courtyard ahead is where the elders and protectors reside. We should be able to find something worthwhile there. Since this is our first guerrilla strike, we might as well aim for something big!"

Hearing this and looking at the simple map in his hand, the black-clad young man's eyes lit up. He leaned in to scrutinize the map for a few moments, then followed Yi Feng's gaze toward the northern courtyard. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Damn, man!"

"I only saw you step out for a moment earlier. How did you manage to get a map like this?"

"Although it looks simple, it doesn't seem to have any major mistakes. No wonder we sneaked in so smoothly. You're really something!"

Yi Feng chuckled and put the map away, turning to look at his companion.

"It's nothing, really. Earlier, I gave a waiter some silver and casually asked a few questions. Then I chatted with some of the guests at the inn. That's how I got a rough idea of the Tianyuan Sect. Based on their descriptions, I drew this map."

"To be honest, this sketch is still quite rough. There are many important places I haven't figured out yet, especially the location of the treasure vault, which outsiders would never know. The Tianyuan Sect is quite large, so we'll have to come back a few more times to pinpoint the exact locations."

Hearing this, the black-clad young man couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

"Now that's what I call professionalism!"

"We definitely need to come back a few more times. We have to find their treasure vault! I've got my eyes on the Tianyuan Sect. I'm going to milk them dry!"

The two of them grew more and more excited as they spoke. Under the cover of night, they stealthily flew across the rooftops, heading north.

After passing through several large courtyards belonging to inner disciples, they finally reached their destination.

In the distance, they saw a series of elegant courtyards, far more luxurious than the ones they had seen earlier. The four courtyards further away were even more opulent, with all sorts of exotic flowers planted within.

The black-clad young man's eyes sparkled as he crossed his arms and smiled.

"Well, it looks like those must be the residences of the Tianyuan Sect elders."

Yi Feng nodded in agreement. After examining the nearby courtyards for a moment, he took out the map and began marking it while speaking softly.

"These courtyards here are also quite special."

"Most likely, the people living here are of high status, probably the sect's protectors and stewards."

Hearing this, the black-clad young man turned and grinned.

"The Tianyuan Sect's protectors?"

"Heh, there should be some good loot there. I won't hold back!"

With that, a black shadow flashed past.

In just a few moments, the young man had thoroughly searched the row of courtyards. His agile movements were a testament to his background as an enforcer—swift and precise, with an ability to conceal his presence so well that no one noticed a thing!

Yi Feng stood on the roof, shielding himself from the wind, and waited patiently for his companion to return.

To his surprise, the young man came back holding a dozen storage rings, but with a look of disdain on his face.

"Damn it..."

"I can't believe how pathetic these so-called Tianyuan Sect protectors are. Their stuff is all garbage, and there's hardly any silver! I was so pissed, I slit all their throats!"

"Let's move on to the elders' courtyards. This area is a dead end!"

Yi Feng smiled without saying a word and continued leading the black-clad young man forward.

This time, they moved with even greater caution, completely concealing their auras. They landed on the nearest rooftop and peered over the edge, not daring to act rashly.

After all, the four courtyards ahead were the residences of the Tianyuan Sect's four protectors, whose cultivation levels were no weaker than theirs. Even though they were launching a sneak attack under the cover of night, they couldn't afford to be careless!

At a glance, the first three courtyards were dark, as if their occupants were already asleep.

The two of them couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. The Tianyuan Sect elders were all at the Heavenly Sun Realm, capable of going without food for months. Why were their lives so routine?

Just as they exchanged suspicious glances, a light in the distance caught their attention.

Driven by curiosity, Yi Feng and the black-clad young man stealthily flew over, doing their best to conceal their auras. Using the bamboo grove in the courtyard as cover, they approached the brightly lit building.

Peeking through the window, they were shocked to see Feng Mofeng, the enemy they had just fought earlier.

What a small world!

Unable to resist, they watched even more closely.

The old man was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch, meditating. Beside him was a brocade box containing a pill that looked quite extraordinary.

Seeing this, the two exchanged a glance and quickly hatched a plan.

Yi Feng gestured with his hands, and the black-clad young man immediately understood, hiding behind the bamboo grove.

Then, Yi Feng channeled all his cultivation and sent a palm strike through the window at the meditating figure inside!

"Boom!"

A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted, startling Feng Mofeng into opening his eyes.

"Who's there?"

Before he could get a good look, a gust of wind shattered the wooden window and wall, sending debris flying into the room!

The spiritual energy and palm strike were extraordinary, and Feng Mofeng was momentarily stunned. Without thinking, he flew upward, breaking through the roof to avoid the sneak attack!

By the time he landed on the roof, the courtyard was already filled with dust and chaos.

The only figure standing in the midst of it all was a familiar one, causing Feng Mofeng's pupils to shrink.

"It's you!"

"You brat, how dare you come to my Tianyuan Sect alone and launch a sneak attack? Today, I'll make sure you meet your end!"

Feng Mofeng never expected Yi Feng to come knocking on his door and destroy his meditation room. He was furious, his eyes filled with killing intent!

But before he could make a move, Yi Feng flew away!

This only made Feng Mofeng even angrier, his teeth clenched in rage as he chased after Yi Feng!

As the two of them flew off one after the other, the loud commotion drew the attention of the entire Tianyuan Sect. Disciples of all ranks came running, drawn by the noise.

Seeing the fourth elder chasing a stranger in the sky, all eyes were immediately drawn to the scene.

In an instant, exclamations erupted from all sides, and more and more people looked up at the sky in shock.

"What's that noise?"

"What's happening?"

"Look, isn't that the fourth elder in the sky?"

"There's someone else flying ahead of him!"

"Who could possibly make the fourth elder personally chase them?"

"Someone actually managed to infiltrate our Tianyuan Sect? They must be no ordinary person!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, the black-clad young man quickly rushed into the meditation room, found the pill, and fled into the night, disappearing without a trace.

Amidst the uproar, Feng Mofeng continued to chase the figure ahead, his killing intent unwavering.

He had already suffered a setback earlier and nearly embarrassed himself. Now, to have the audacity to come to his doorstep—if he didn't capture this brat tonight, he would have no face left!

But the more his killing intent burned, the more the other party seemed to push their spiritual energy to the limit, flying away at an astonishing speed. Feng Mofeng, already exhausted, couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.

After chasing for a hundred miles, the voices of the Tianyuan Sect disciples had long since faded.

Still unable to catch the detestable Yi Feng, Feng Mofeng had no choice but to turn back. He decided to gather more men tomorrow and wipe out the New Sword Sect to settle both old and new grudges!

When he returned to his residence, the courtyard was already surrounded by curious inner disciples. Seeing the crowd, Feng Mofeng instinctively rushed into the courtyard to look for his pill, only to suddenly realize something.

"Oh no..."

"Could it be?"

Ignoring the greetings of the disciples, Feng Mofeng stormed into the courtyard and searched through the ruins of his meditation room for a long time. Sure enough, the pill was gone.

Instantly, he let out a furious roar, his hair standing on end.

"Bastard!"

"Bastard!!!"

He had been tricked.

It was a diversion tactic!

At that moment, whispers of shock and anger began to spread from behind him.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Several protectors have been assassinated!"

Hearing this, Feng Mofeng froze, his rage reaching new heights. His roar echoed through the heavens.

"You little thief!"

"I swear I'll never rest until you're dead!"

In his fury, Feng Mofeng's hair and beard whipped around wildly as his spiritual energy erupted, shaking the entire Tianyuan Sect. The news of the protectors' deaths spread like wildfire!

Within moments, the main hall of the Tianyuan Sect was filled with people. Even the long-secluded grand elder had been roused, and Sect Leader Jin Zhenyuan was visibly furious as he issued orders.

"Bold thieves, how dare you assassinate our sect's protectors!"

"Who is responsible for this?"

"Summon the fourth elder at once!"

Before dawn, the entire Tianyuan Sect was thrown into unprecedented chaos. The disciples were in a panic, and the higher-ups were seething with anger.

When Feng Mofeng entered the main hall and recounted what he had seen, the entire leadership of the Tianyuan Sect was filled with shock and fury!
