Chapter 79 - Invincible Sects Master (2/2)
It was as if she smashed her own feet with a stone—it was excruciatingly painful!
The Yu Family kept a low profile after what had happened. But while they were low key, they were not completely off the radar. Without any Traveling Immortals to their name, however, their influence in the Upper Azure World dwindled.
Lonemoon initially thought that the Yu Family would retaliate or argue with them at least once, given their reputation as an aristocratic family. However, it seemed that they had been beaten into full submission.
The Yin Family and Xuan Yuan Family did not take sides or so much as offer to clarify what had happened that night. From their conduct, though, it was obvious they were leaning toward the Invincible Sect’s side; otherwise, word wouldn’t have spread that the Invincible Sect was a hidden great immortal sect.
Nobody saw Yu Haiheng after that night. Even the Yu Family claimed that he was missing. Lonemoon felt uneasy just thinking about the people who had saved Yu Haiheng and the Traveling Immortals. Something in his gut told him that the Yu Family would not submit as easily as the Xuan Yuan Family did. Maybe they did have a big trick up their sleeves. Lonemoon expected them to turn up at their door soon.
He did not think that an unexpected visitor would turn up before the Yu Family did.
“Greetings, elders. The rabbit demon at the bottom of the hill said it discovered a spy trying to break into Invincible Sect,” Yu Hong reported.
“A spy?” Lonemoon exclaimed. Could it be someone from the Yu Family? Lonemoon turned to glance at Yi Qing and instructed Yu Hong to prevent any disciple from going down the hill. He immediately flew out with Yi Qing.
From afar, they saw a group of eighth and ninth-stage demons surrounding the array at the entrance of the hill who were shouting at a man dressed in black. The scene looked extremely tense.
“What’s going on?” Yi Qing and Lonemoon quickly flew down the hill and studied the man in black using their Divine Perception, but a fog obscured their senses so that they had no way of figuring out the man’s cultivation level. “Eh?”
This man was not simple.
“Benefactors, you are here,” a rabbit demon greeted them, stepping forward. “A few lesser demons spotted this man sneaking around outside the entrance to the hill. That’s why we came here to stop him.”
Yi Qing nodded and walked toward the man, asking, “Who are you and why are you trespassing in our Invincible Sect?”
The cultivator was surrounded by over ten high-level demons, yet he did not seem in the least bit afraid. He laughed coldly and replied, “I’m the Tower Master of Soul Chasing Tower, Feng Ying. I came here today to seek justice from your sect master. This has nothing to do with the rest of you. I will kill whoever gets in my way!”
“Soul Chasing Tower?” Why did this name sound familiar? “Chef, have you heard of them before?”
“No!” Yi Qing shook his head.
“Hmph, it’s okay if you haven’t heard of us yet. You will definitely remember us in future!” The man smiled arrogantly.
“This… Tower Master Feng?” Did Shen Ying forget to pay for her meal again?“How did our sect master offend you?”
What Tower Master Feng? Don’t people normally address me as Tower Master Ying?
Feng Ying’s expression turned cold as he became angrier. “Stop acting dumb! Your sect master Yi Qing come to our Soul Chasing Tower three days ago claiming to look for someone, then injured over a hundred of my brothers while I wasn’t there. Yours is a hidden immortal sect, yet you daren’t own up to beating up people?”
Three days ago… Soul Chasing Tower… looking for someone?
A bulb lit up in Lonemoon’s and Yi Qing’s heads. They suddenly remembered what had happened, and the both of them stiffened.
Holy shit! They finally remembered why Soul Chasing Tower sounded so familiar. It was the place they destroyed when they misunderstood who had kidnapped Yu Hong and Si Yu.
Their faces twisted.
What shall we do? Their Master has come up to settle the score! How did he even find this place?

“The person who invaded our Tower called himself Sword Cultivator Yi Qing. I’ve asked around and I’m sure that Yi Qing is the sect master of your Invincible Sect.” Feng Ying grew more agitated as he spoke. He scanned the demons in front of him and studied the two Soul Formation cultivators. Suppressing his anger, he said, “I’m only here to take revenge. It has nothing to do with the rest of you. Please tell me, where is your sect master?”
The corner of Yi Qing’s mouth twisted. Lonemoon took this chance and pointed to the hill to his right without hesitation.
“There!”
“Thank you!” Feng Ying turned around and flew in the direction that Lonemoon had pointed towards.
Yi Qing: “…”
The demons: “…”
“What are you looking at! You had a part to play in this too, okay?” Lonemoon turned around to glare at Yi Qing. “Besides, she’ll be alright.”
Yi Qing felt as though he had just betrayed his master.
