Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1237: Chapter 8: Wang Family’s Huge Pit! Red Moon Appears_3 Chapter 1237: Chapter 8: Wang Family’s Huge Pit! Red Moon Appears_3 “` He had a distinctive hawk nose and deep-set eyes that made him appear quite imposing. Rather than looking sinister, he exuded a refined elegance. Adorned in a luxurious purple robe, it added an air of nobility, making him seem quite extraordinary. Even a casual stance from him could involuntarily evoke a sense of awe in others.

“Acting Sect Leader.”

Upon seeing him, patrolling disciples tightened up and promptly bowed deeply in greeting.

It turned out that this middle-aged gentleman in purple was none other than the Yinsha Sect’s Acting Sect Leader, Yin Fengtu.

With the Sect Master Qi Hongzhao in seclusion, he was the one who had taken up the mantle as the person in charge of the Yinsha Sect, overseeing all affairs both big and small.

Of course, any large organization will have a complex structure, and the Yinsha Sect was no exception, still possessing several Divine Power Territory heavyweights with real power. Yin Fengtu was able to serve as the person in charge because he was a disciple of the Sect Master Qi Hongzhao and currently the most powerful among his many disciples.

“Has there been any movement at the Yin Sha Hall these past few days?” Yin Fengtu nodded and asked casually.

“Reporting to the Acting Sect Leader, there has been no movement.”

Yin Fengtu nodded again, “Go on.”

“Yes, Acting Sect Leader.”

The disciples didn’t dare to delay and immediately went on to patrol earnestly.

Yin Fengtu stood there, silently watching the small hall in front of him. His deep-set eyes betrayed a touch of worry.

Ever since his master, Qi Hongzhao, had retreated in seclusion, he would often come here. However, the master had yet to emerge, and he would usually just stand for a while before leaving.

This time, he truly had something to report, yet he dared not disturb.

After standing quietly for a moment, he sighed and was about to leave.

Suddenly.

From the direction of the black small hall, a powerful momentum burst forth, instantly sweeping over the surrounding vast area. The winds and clouds shifted between heaven and earth, and even the sky seemed to darken slightly.

The patrolling disciples who hadn’t gone far shivered and nearly knelt down.

“Master!”

Yin Fengtu’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly flew towards the small square in front of the small hall.

As he landed, the doors of the black small hall opened, and a figure walked out at a leisurely pace.

It was a middle-aged man with an imposing aura.

He was dressed in a spotless white robe, and despite his middle-aged appearance, he still looked to have an easy charm and impressive stature, enough to make countless young girls swoon.

But now, he was enveloped in a thick aura of Yin Sha, with the Evil Qi so dense it almost materialized, creating an exceedingly ominous presence.

His eyes were as dark as ink, seeming to hide swirling vortexes within, exuding an indescribable and terrifying deterrence.

Looking at him was like staring into an abyss.

“I pay my respects to my Master.”

Yin Fengtu quickly bowed in greeting, his eyes looking at the middle-aged man with fervor and joy. With his master out of seclusion, he felt a reassurance take root in his heart.

“Fengtu, has anything significant happened in the Yinsha Sect during my hundred-year retreat?” The middle-aged man glanced at him and spoke indifferently.

This white-robed middle-aged man was naturally the Sect Master of the Yinsha Sect, Qi Hongzhao.

He was also the only one in the Yinsha Sect at the Transcendent Void Realm, a formidable being capable of altering the heavens and the earth.

“Reporting to Master, everything within the Yinsha Sect is as usual, no significant events have occurred,” Yin Fengtu paused, “However, over at Dongqian, the struggle for the throne among the Emperor’s sons has unexpectedly concluded prematurely. It has also implicated a smuggling incident, which led to South Qin losing a Prince. Many of our covert operatives have been wasted, resulting in substantial losses.”

“` “Oh?” Qi Hongzhao’s expression didn’t change much, “What about our people?”

“Our people had not yet taken action and therefore suffered no significant losses,” Yin Fengtu replied respectfully.

Qi Hongzhao nodded, saying indifferently, “Ever since Yuan You ascended to the throne, South Qin has never been content, always thinking itself the mightiest and ignoring advice. It’s good for them to suffer a bit this time.”

“If Longchang and Jiang Zhencang, those two old fellows, were really that easy to deal with, why would the warfare among the three countries have been locked in stalemate until now?”

“Master is wise.” Yin Fengtu cupped his hands in salute, then reported another matter, “Additionally, some days ago, there was a message from the Demonic Dynasty, saying that a significant figure from the Real Demon Palace will soon arrive at our Sect and we should prepare accordingly.”

“A significant figure from the Real Demon Palace?” Qi Hongzhao frowned slightly, “Did they specify which significant figure?”

“They did not disclose it, only mentioning that there is an important matter that requires completion within the borders of East Qian Country and that our assistance is needed,” Yin Fengtu replied respectfully.

“I see,” Qi Hongzhao nodded and casually instructed, “Immediately summon the Great Elders of all branches of the Yinsha Sect in the name of this Sect Master and convene a Sect meeting.”

“Furthermore, go to the Imperial Palaces of Jin Qin and Yuan You, and notify the two Great Emperors, Yuan You and Yan Qing. Invite them to the Yinsha Sect and say that this Sect Master has important matters to discuss.”

“Yes, Master,” Yin Fengtu saluted with utmost respect, “I’ll personally make the trip to Jin and Qin shortly.”

After saying this, he stood aside, continuing to listen for the Master’s orders.

Qi Hongzhao finished giving these instructions and fell into deep thought.

The Demonic Dynasty was far away, and although there was regular communication, it mostly involved trade, with few encounters of powerful individuals in both places. A “significant figure” was usually a Demon King at the Transcendent Void Realm level. Such individuals were typically required to hold their positions and could not leave lightly.

It was not a truly critical matter, and even the Real Demon Palace would not easily dispatch a Demon King at the Void Realm level to the Yinsha Sect.

He had encountered such a situation only once since he took over the Yinsha Sect.

Who could it be this time?

And what sort of matter could cause the Demonic Dynasty to mobilize a Demon King at the Void Realm level?

This time, it seemed a storm might be brewing.

“Fengtu, do you have any other important matters?” Yinsha Sect Master Qi Hongzhao asked with a slight frown.

“Reporting to the Master, there is another piece of good news yet to be reported,” Yin Fengtu said.

“Oh, let’s hear it.”

“Twenty years ago, when your disciple was out on an errand, I encountered an Independent Cultivator woman. However, since the Master was in seclusion, I could only take her as a Named Disciple,” Yin Fengtu earnestly said, “I request the Master’s permission to take her as a Direct Disciple.”

Qi Hongzhao frowned slightly, “You surely know, as Independent Cultivators are often difficult to trace and generally serve only as ordinary Disciples for cannon fodder. What if she is a spy?”

“She is not a spy,” Yin Fengtu declared decisively, “Her talent is so outstanding that no family would use someone like her as a spy.”

“How outstanding is her talent?” Qi Hongzhao raised an eyebrow; he had seen too many prodigies in his life, but how many could match Qi Hongzhao?

“Mysterious Ice Yin Sha Mutated Demon Body, Unparalleled Heavenly Child-level talent, and what’s most rare is the Pure Yin Body,” Yin Fengtu’s eyes lit up with excitement, and even his stern expression softened somewhat. That Named Disciple was truly exceptional.

Qi Hongzhao was taken aback, his expression shifting from solemn to excited and joyful, and he eventually burst out laughing, “Good, good, good! The treasured disciple I, Qi Hongzhao, have waited three thousand years for has finally appeared.”

Wait, Master, that’s my disciple…

A sense of foreboding suddenly overwhelmed Yin Fengtu as his smile stiffened.
