Chapter 346: The Hotly Pursued Yin Shengong [Ten Thousand Words] (Part 1)

Wu Changguan couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding, especially after witnessing the city gate official's enigmatic smile and the profound expression on his face, which left a strong sense of unease.

With a sigh, Wu Changguan said, "I'll seek permission from my family to see if they can protect you this once."

Yin Shengong's heart sank, but he managed to maintain his composure, "Thank you, Chief Wu."

Initially, Wu Xiang and Yin Shengong had embarked on a long journey together, and nothing seemed amiss. They had discussed the situation multiple times along the way, and both felt that even if they encountered humiliation, it shouldn't be a significant issue. Their lives shouldn't be in danger.

After all, they were summoned by the Deputy Sect Master.

However, as they entered the city, their fleeting sense of relief was instantly shattered.

Numerous apparent experts had been waiting by the city gates, and upon hearing Yin Shengong's name, they immediately turned their gaze towards him, their eyes filled with unmistakable coldness and murderous intent.

Moreover, as Yin Shengong and Wu Xiang proceeded into the city, these individuals silently followed them without uttering a word. Surprisingly, some of them boldly took out communication jade and contacted the Five Spirit Toad, openly sending messages.

The content of these messages was no mystery to Yin Shengong; he knew without a doubt: Yin Shengong has arrived!

At this moment, Yin Shengong felt utterly hopeless.

Such intense hostility!

Such blatant murderous intent!

Unconcealed and blatant.

It was as if these individuals were pointing at Yin Shengong's nose and declaring, "Yin Shengong, I'm going to kill you!"

As they passed through the city gates and headed towards the inn, people kept leaping into the crowd, their eyes fixed on Yin Shengong like those of a hawk or vulture.

Sharp!

Like arrows!

Yin Shengong couldn't help but feel terrified throughout the journey, drenched in cold sweat. He felt his body turn icy cold, almost as if it were already the temperature of a corpse.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the headquarters family's hatred would be so intense! Weren't we supposed to let bygones be bygones after the Incubation to Immortality Plan? Why is this happening?"

Swish, swish, swish... The sound of objects slicing through the air continued to echo.

More and more people from various families arrived to catch a glimpse of Yin Shengong's face, making the already crowded street even more congested.

However, none of those who came made a move—they were merely there to familiarize themselves with his appearance.

No one would dare to act before the Deputy Sect Master summoned Yin Shengong.

Cold, fearless eyes stared at Yin Shengong's face, conveying the same message: "Is this the master of the Night Demon? Excellent! Excellent!"

Yin Shengong's heart pounded, and his face turned pale.

By his side, Wu Changguan, who had just offered to seek protection for Yin Shengong from his family, also began to sweat nervously.

Because he realized...

Not only was Yin Shengong locked onto by countless murderous intents, but some of the gazes directed at him were equally filled with killing intent.

If he were to accompany Yin Shengong on his way back after the Deputy Sect Master's summons... it would likely be a one-way journey.

Wu Changguan felt utterly wronged, thinking, "What does this have to do with me?"

Wu Xiang and Yin Shengong trembled with fear, like two little white rabbits trembling in the midst of a wolf pack.

They dared not raise their heads, shivering all the way to the inn.

Shivering and sweating, they reached the inn and checked in with trepidation.

Yin Shengong's mind went blank.

Throughout the entire journey, he even lost the ability to think.

His heart turned icy cold.

It's over, I'm done for!

Almost unconsciously, he followed Wu Xiang, the Southeast Chief Administrator, to the inn and settled into a room, only regaining a sense of life upon entering.

This time, Wu Xiang had come alone without any attendants, so Yin Shengong naturally had to attend to his superior. He followed Wu Xiang to his room to help tidy up.

Taking the opportunity to try and curry favor once more, as his life depended on it.

Those people... some of them even followed us to the inn!

Currently, various streams of killing intent from different individuals surrounded their room, swirling and crisscrossing without restraint...

Yin Shengong felt his calves cramping.

If I had known it would be like this... alas, I had to come for the Deputy Sect Master's summons, knowing this would happen—Yin Shengong felt like crying but had no tears.

Why did I have to encounter such a deadly situation?

This time, my life is over!

Night Demon, you've killed your teacher this time!

...

The two had just entered the room when the inn suddenly became quiet.

Immediately, the various streams of killing intent that permeated the inn subsided.

Wu Xiang stopped Yin Shengong's actions, his face turning pale, and his hands trembling, "Wait a moment, there might be an important person coming."

Yin Shengong's heart sank. Could there be an even more significant figure?

Help... I, I can't be so unlucky, can I?

At this moment, Yin Shengong's heart, which had reached a climax, had already flown to the heavens.

He had already made up his mind; if he survived this, he would never set foot in the main temple again!

Following Wu Xiang to the window, he peered out.

Outside the inn, on the street, a white-robed youth was riding a blood-red three-headed dragon horse.

The youth was as beautiful as jade, and the horse was as majestic as a dragon.

Behind this white-robed youth were two elderly men walking leisurely.

Their auras were astonishing.

As they walked down the street, everyone made way for them.

The crowded street seemed to part like a calm sea as the white-robed youth rode his horse.

"It's the Feng Family's Yue Shao."

Wu Xiang's expression changed, his eyes filled with eagerness and fear.

"Is that Yue Shao?" Yin Shengong was also deeply moved.

In the headquarters city of the Only Righteous Sect, everyone made way for Yue Shao. Even their auras were restrained, fearing they might offend Yue Shao.

This showed the boundless might of the Feng family.

"Yes, he's from the direct lineage of the Feng family's bloodline, the eldest son and grandson of the direct lineage for millions of years."

Wu Xiang spoke softly.

Yin Shengong immediately understood the weight of those words.

In a family's inheritance, it was usually the eldest son or the most capable child who would inherit the family business and become the next generation's head, known as the direct lineage. The direct siblings of the eldest son were also considered part of the direct lineage. However, when these siblings had children of their own, their children were no longer considered direct descendants.

They naturally became collateral branches.

Only the children of the family head who inherited the family business were the true direct descendants.

This direct lineage had been passed down for generations, and in the youngest generation of the Feng family, four peak talents, unparalleled geniuses, had emerged.

Yue Shao was one of them.

The eldest among them, Feng Yun, was hailed as the leader of the younger generation. This made his status even more significant.

Because... the title of 'leader' was not to be taken lightly.

A leader and a commander were two distinct concepts!

Yin Shengong flattered, "Wu Zongchangguan, your family background is also illustrious, not much inferior to Yue Shao."

Wu Xiang chuckled, "Your flattery is lacking. Our Wu family is naturally descended from Wu Fu Zongjiaozhu, but our branch is a collateral branch of the collateral branches... How can we compare to their direct lineage?"

He shook his head and sighed, "We're far behind."

Yin Shengong understood that they were far behind.

But as a subordinate, he had to flatter. After saying this, no matter how modestly Wu Xiang tried to decline, he was still pleased to be mentioned alongside Yue Shao.

This was the art of flattery.

Perhaps the Wu family would intervene to save his life?

The two of them stood silently by the window, only to see Yue Shao approaching the inn and stopping.

Could Yue Shao's target also be this inn?

At this thought, both of their faces paled.

Wu Xiang lowered his voice, his heart racing as he spoke, "It can't be... Yin Jiaozhu, did your Night Demon kill a member of the Feng family?"

Yin Shengong's heart was in his throat, his legs trembling, and his voice hoarse and trembling, "This... How would I know..."

Wu Xiang: "Damn... He's here, he's really here, it's here... It's over, it's over..."

Yin Shengong's body slid down the wall, and he forced himself to lean against it to avoid collapsing on the ground. With a look of despair, he said, "Please don't look for me..."

Then, they saw Yue Shao dismount and stride towards the inn with his long legs.

...

Wherever Yue Shao passed, people bowed as if they were neatly cut straws.

"Greetings, Yue Shao."

Yue Shao smiled and nodded, entering the door. With a smile, he asked, "I heard that Yin Shengong, the leader of the Yi Xin Jiao, is here? May I know which one is Yin Jiaozhu?"

Upstairs.

Wu Xiang and Yin Shengong were stunned.

Yue Shao had personally come, and it turned out he was indeed looking for Yin Shengong?

Was Yin Jiaozhu's status really that high? Or was Yue Shao also like those people?

The two of them stared at each other, their faces pale. They both felt that Yin Jiaozhu's status might not be that high.

"Zongchangguan? This... this..." Yin Shengong's heart was pounding.

"I'll go down with you. If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster, and if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided." Wu Xiang made a quick decision, gritting his teeth.

Yin Shengong took a deep breath, straightened up, and said, "Good!"

As the situation became critical, Yin Jiaozhu became stronger, knowing that he would die, and he regained some of his leader's composure.

The two of them hurriedly went to greet Yue Shao.

They approached Yue Shao.

"Greetings, Yue Shao. I am Wu Xiang from the Southeast, and the person beside me is Yin Shengong, the leader of the Yi Xin Jiao, whom you are looking for."

Wu Xiang's mind was racing. If Yue Shao was here for revenge against Yin Shengong, he would immediately sell out Yin Shengong in front of Yue Shao.

To curry favor.

Yue Shao casually nodded, "It's been a long time, Wu Zongchangguan."

Wu Xiang was flattered, "Thank you, Yue Shao, for remembering Wu Xiang."

Yue Shao smiled and looked at Yin Shengong, "So you're Yin Shengong?"

"Yes, it's me." Yin Shengong's heart was pounding, but Yue Shao's tone didn't seem like he was here to punish him...

"Yes, my second brother, Feng Xing, sent a message, asking you to wait here after you're done. He'll come to ask you about something."

"As you command!" Yin Shengong breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

It wasn't a disaster brought by the Night Demon!

But a trouble caused by Xing Shao... That's good, that's good.

...

Yue Shao smiled, his task completed, and he was about to leave.

But at this moment, a black shadow flew over and landed, asking, "Who is Yin Shengong, the leader of the Yi Xin Jiao?"

Yue Shao looked over, surprised, "Ye Yun, why are you here?"

Yin Shengong's heart was pounding again, and he took a step forward, "I am Yin Shengong, greeting Elder Ye."

Ye Yun said, "Reporting to Yue Shao, my master, Heaven Yin, is hosting a banquet at De Yue Lou tonight, inviting Yin Jiaozhu to a welcoming feast."

As he spoke, he took two steps forward.

He took out a golden invitation from his chest and presented it to Yin Shengong with both hands.

The entire place was shocked!

Everyone was surprised to see the leader of the Yi Xin Jiao.

Oh my!

Who was this person?

Yue Shao had personally conveyed a message, and Xing Shao asked him to wait. Now, Heaven Yin was inviting him to a banquet?

This leader of the Yi Xin Jiao was so impressive?

Those from the various families who had been watching Yin Shengong were stunned: What? What's going on?

As soon as the Divine Temple heard this, they understood it was definitely because of Night Demon.

But, it was too good to be true.

Because this was an absolute lifesaver.

He respectfully bowed and took the invitation, saying, "Please inform Second Young Master Chen. I, Divine Temple, will definitely be there!"

In reality, he was already so excited he couldn't help it.

In his entire life, this was the first time he received such high treatment. Not only could he escape the crisis, but he was also invited by Second Young Master Chen's direct descendant, a genius!

Night Cloud nodded and smiled, "On behalf of Second Young Master Chen, I'd like to express my gratitude to the Temple Master."

"I dare not."

This move even stunned Yue Shao.

What's going on?

Why is the Divine Temple so popular? Second Brother wants to see him, and Second Young Master Chen also wants to see him?

"Night Cloud, what's going on..."

Yue Shao was about to ask.

But in the sky, a red shadow flipped and descended from above. A gentle fragrance filled the entire sky and the entire inn, as if spring had returned to the earth, and flowers bloomed.

A beautiful middle-aged woman with graceful manners slowly descended, her posture elegant, her movements refined, her demeanor noble, and her aura ethereal.

Especially on her body, there was a natural and gentle aura, very infectious.

As soon as she arrived, the entire inn's aura seemed to become gentler.

When this middle-aged woman arrived, even Yue Shao bowed and greeted her, "Red Aunt is here."

Night Cloud bowed and said respectfully, "Red Sister, are you well?"

The woman smiled faintly, "It seems you're all here."

Then she asked, "May I ask which one of you is the Temple Master of the One Heart Sect?"

Suddenly.

Everyone's hearts exploded in unison.

Oh my god!

Red Aunt was also looking for the Divine Temple.

This was the trusted aide of the Second Vice Sect Master.

The Divine Temple's heart was pounding, and his waist almost bent in half, "Your subordinate, Divine Temple, greets..."

"No need to be so polite."

Red Aunt said, "You can call me Red Aunt, that's fine."

"Your subordinate dares not."

The Divine Temple didn't dare to call her that.

This was Yue Shao's way of addressing her, if he called her the same, would Yue Shao feel offended? If so, he might not be able to live.

Red Aunt smiled and extended her hand, holding a golden invitation in her jade-like hand.

"I also came here by order today. Second Young Miss Yan invited the Temple Master to a banquet tonight, to welcome and refresh the Temple Master."

Boom! Everyone tried to suppress their shock, but they still couldn't help but be surprised, their minds almost exploding.

Today was truly an eye-opening experience.

The Temple Master of the One Heart Sect was such a big shot? Even Second Miss Yan wanted to invite him to dinner?

Oh my...

At this moment, the Divine Temple was still holding Second Young Master Chen's invitation, feeling like his entire body was on fire.

He dared not refuse Second Young Master Chen's invitation, but he also dared not refuse Second Miss Yan's.

Both were good things, but they came at the same time, and he couldn't afford to offend either.

Suddenly, he was stunned.

He didn't know how to respond.

This was the most glorious moment in the Divine Temple's life, but the glory was a bit too... excessive.

Two banquets, both hosted by powerful figures he couldn't afford to offend.

And they were on the same night, at the same time! Red Aunt saw the invitation in the Divine Temple's hand and immediately asked, "Whose invitation is this?"

Night Cloud coughed, "Second Young Master Chen invites the Temple Master to a banquet tonight... this..."

Red Aunt coldly hummed, slightly raising her fair chin, and said arrogantly, "You guys line up! How about tomorrow?"

Night Cloud paused and said, "Then we'll go tomorrow."

As he spoke, he took the invitation from the Divine Temple's hand and said, "Temple Master, don't worry. Tonight, we'll go to Second Miss Yan's banquet first. I'll come again tomorrow to escort you to the banquet."

The Divine Temple is grateful. But you can just tell me the address, I'll go there myself, no need to trouble you to come again."

"It's no trouble."

Night Cloud smiled, "Then we'll see each other tomorrow."

Then he said to Red Aunt, "Red Sister, since it's like this, I'll take my leave now and go back to inform the Young Master."

Red Aunt smiled and said, "Good, it seems your Young Master didn't understand the communication jade's message earlier. Go back and explain it well."

This sentence was a bit strange.

Night Cloud laughed, "Red Sister is still so straightforward and easygoing. Little brother takes his leave."

His body flashed, and he disappeared without a trace.

Red Aunt smiled and placed the invitation in the Divine Temple's hand, speaking softly, "Temple Master, tonight at the hour of the rooster, at the Flying Phoenix Tower. At that time, I'll come to pick up the Temple Master. There's still two hours, the Temple Master can rest."

The Divine Temple respectfully took the invitation and said, "Yes... but, Senior, I am here by the summons of Second Vice Master Yan. If the Vice Master summons..."

He was naturally cautious, and although these words might sound inappropriate to others.

But what if Second Miss Yan summons him at this time and he can't make it to the banquet? The consequences were unimaginable.

Red Aunt smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Second Miss Yan has already spoken to Second Vice Master Yan, so the summons has been changed to tomorrow."

"Yes, yes. I, your subordinate, spoke out of turn."

The Divine Temple was shocked.

Second Miss Yan actually changed the summons of the Second Vice Master with just a word.

How much she must adore this granddaughter...

"Then Temple Master, we'll meet again tonight."

Red Aunt smiled and waved to Yue Shao, and her body disappeared into thin air.

...

Yue Shao looked at the Divine Temple with a probing gaze.

Second Young Master Chen's invitation was also fine.

Although Second Young Master Chen had the title of 'First Young Genius of the Younger Generation', Yue Shao didn't care.
