"Alright, those who have been called by me, gather here now and then join the Sun and Moon Divine Guards to set off immediately!" Having called Ye Zhen, Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli spoke loudly.

Some people moved towards Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli, but Ye Zhen did not.

"Vice Hall Master Lul, I thought our Moonlight Hall said it wouldn’t assign Divine Sect missions, did it?" Ye Zhen’s gaze shifted towards the Vice Hall Master of the Moonlight Hall, Lul Peng.

Normally, Ye Zhen wouldn’t mind completing this Divine Sect mission, especially since he was enjoying such favorable treatment. But the problem was, Ye Zhen had an important matter in seven days, and even more, he had to attend the Spirit Returning Assembly in half a year; time was extremely tight.

What’s more, something felt off!

Ye Zhen had a premonition; it seemed like the Messenger Envoy was naming names, with his main goal being Ye Zhen himself.

Vice Hall Master Lul Peng’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Ye Zhen, "Uh, you missed a few words. Generally, Moonlight Hall does not assign Divine Sect missions. However, given the urgency of the situation and the shortage of manpower, we need to draw people from Moonlight Hall."

"I have an important matter in seven days that cannot be delayed. Could we possibly have someone else go in my stead? I will definitely undertake the next Divine Sect mission!" Ye Zhen said with a cupped-fist salute.

In Ye Zhen’s view, this flexible approach was entirely feasible.

However, before Vice Hall Master Lul Peng could respond, Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli became anxious first.

"That won’t do!"

"Absolutely no replacements! If everyone assigned to a Divine Sect mission declined like you, then who would carry out the Divine Sect missions? Can our Divine Sect continue to operate?

Besides, you all feed on the Divine Sect’s resources, and when the Divine Sect occasionally hands down a mission, you resist and make excuses—is there no conscience left in you?"

With just a few words, Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli accused Ye Zhen of a huge offense, as though if Ye Zhen didn’t go this time, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect would collapse.

The reaction of Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli made Ye Zhen feel even more that something was amiss.

"Envoy Zhang, I really have an important matter in seven days, how about I offer Spirit Crystals and ask someone to go in my stead? Ten thousand mid-grade..."

"Impossible! The mission is assigned to the person named, and there is no substitute!"

Before Ye Zhen could finish his sentence, Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli interrupted him vehemently, nearly grabbing Ye Zhen and taking him away. Afterwards, Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli turned again to glare at Vice Hall Master Lul Peng.

"Vice Hall Master Lul, how do you manage your hall members? Someone actually dares to defy an order—if Vice Sect Master Yao finds out..."

Upon hearing this, Vice Hall Master Lul Peng’s face changed abruptly, while Ye Zhen’s expression underwent a drastic change.

The words ’Vice Sect Master Yao’ mentioned by the Messenger Envoy revealed a Heavenly Secret, coupled with the Envoy’s earlier insistence on finding Ye Zhen, the matter became clear.

"Merely for taking the place of his nephew in the Moonlight Hall, Yao Sen wants to deal with me?"

"It must be a factional struggle! I am now considered one of Vice Sect Master Tian Guizhang’s people!"

But Ye Zhen soon dismissed this thought. If the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s factional strife were really this severe, it probably wouldn’t be long before the sect’s extinction.

Factional struggles were more about power struggles, not life-and-death battles.

Moreover, according to Ye Zhen’s estimation, being specifically dispatched to the remote Tiger Head Mountain Mine, nearly 800,000 li away, was most likely an attempt on his life.

At that time, one could simply say that Ye Zhen was killed by a Demon Beast, and no one could argue otherwise.

"Or perhaps, the person behind this, targeting me, is someone else?"

"Ye Zhen, the laws of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect dictate that those who defy orders are to be killed without mercy! Are you planning to defy the order?" Almost simultaneously, Vice Hall Master Lul Peng roared at Ye Zhen, releasing his Fourth Stage Vein Forging Realm Spirit Pressure without restraint, clearly ready to execute Ye Zhen on the spot if he dared to defy the order.

To everyone’s surprise, Ye Zhen remained calm in the face of Vice Hall Master Lul Peng’s pressure.

"Defy the order, I shall not!" Ye Zhen slowly shook his head, "However, do all of you remember the only rule of Moonlight Hall?"

"What?" Lul Peng asked subconsciously, as people of the Divine Sect were quite sensitive to so-called sect and hall rules.

"Follow the Hall Master’s commands, no violations permitted, offenders to be expelled from Moonlight Hall immediately!" Ye Zhen said slowly.

Hearing this, Vice Hall Master Lul Peng’s expression relaxed abruptly, "That’s right, follow the Hall Master’s command. Now, as the Hall Master, I order you to immediately obey Envoy Zhang’s transfer order and go to Tiger Head Mountain Mine to stand guard!"

"No, you’re just the Vice Hall Master!"

With that one sentence from Ye Zhen, Vice Hall Master Lul Peng’s face turned purple with rage, his Three Corpse Gods practically jumping in fury.

It was a slap in the face!

Ye Zhen was blatantly slapping the face of the Vice Hall Master, who had pompously presented his face for the proverbial slap, ending up with a resounding smack!

Almost at the same time, two rays of Talisman Light flew from Ye Zhen’s hands and disappeared into the clouds in an instant.

"What are you doing?" Messenger Envoy Zhang Deli looked nervous.

"Nothing much, just informing the Hall Master about the situation here. If the Hall Master says to go, then I will go," Ye Zhen said.

Of course, that was just a pretext from Ye Zhen; the two Jade Talismans were sent to inform Fengh Qingyue and Vice Sect Master Tian Guizhang.

If it weren’t for the auction in seven days, Ye Zhen might actually have been curious to go to that Tiger Head Mountain Mine to see what plots and schemes were arranged to target him.

To tell the truth, Ye Zhen wasn’t afraid of them playing dirty; he had dealt with Vein Forging Realm powerhouses before.

But the auction in seven days was too important. Not only was it an annual event, but coinciding with the once-every-five-years Spirit Returning Assembly, it was likely to present a plethora of treasures. To wait for another opportunity like this one would take five more years, which he could not afford to waste.

"How audacious, to show such disrespect to the Hall Master!" At that moment, Lul Peng, his face reddened with rage, let out an angry roar. A crane-shaped apparition suddenly flew out from behind him and lunged at Ye Zhen like lightning. As soon as the crane apparition appeared, its overwhelming presence put all the nearby Moonlight Hall martial artists in a state of fright!

Divine Skills!

Divine Power Martial Skill!

As the Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists present exclaimed in alarm, they quickly made way.

Bang!

The Spirit Crane was still in the air when its two legs suddenly grew a hundred meters, as if appearing instantaneously before Ye Zhen. Its claws tightened, capturing Ye Zhen.

"Hmph, watch how this Hall Master deals with you using the sect rules..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Peng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was stunned once more. Beneath the Spirit Crane’s claws, Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly burst and turned into nothingness, revealing that what it had captured was merely an afterimage of Ye Zhen.

In mid-air, Ye Zhen watched with a cold smile as the embarrassed Vice Hall Master Lu Peng. Even though his Body Skill was average, with the assistance of the Geomagnetic Field, he was not someone that Lu Peng could easily capture.

Dammit, Lu Peng was now enraged.

He, a Martial Artist at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, had used a Divine Power Martial Skill to capture a First Stage Martial Artist of the Soul Sea Realm and yet had failed.

Moreover, it happened under the watchful eyes of many, and if he didn’t regain his ground, his already not-so-high prestige within the Moonlight Hall would likely plummet.

"Hmph, you really think this Hall Master can’t deal with you?"

Scree!

A resounding crane’s cry burst forth from behind Lu Peng’s head, and a true embodiment of the Spirit Crane appeared, its body lunging forward like a meteor toward Ye Zhen!

This time, Lu Peng was truly furious and displayed his full capabilities.

Dammit, a dainty jade hand suddenly reached out from the void, gently squeezing and grasping the neck of the Spirit Crane. The jade fingers tightened!

Poof!

The newly formed Spirit Crane that Lu Peng had just materialized, before it could show off its power, exploded into a ball of Spirit Light and dissipated into Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

This scene turned Lu Peng’s face instantly black, and it turned as black as it could possibly be!

"Who is..."

"It’s me!"

A crisp voice tinged with pride made Lu Peng’s expression freeze, his face turning darker than the bottom of a pot. Yet, he had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Master Fengh!"

Adorned in purple clothes and with only a Jade hairpin, the elegant and dignified Moonlight Hall Master, Fengh Qingyue, descended from the high skies, carrying a posture that made every man unconsciously rise with a desire to conquer, leaving many of the Martial Artists from Moonlight Hall staring dumbfounded.

"The Messenger Officer from the Main Temple?"

Fengh Qingyue directly ignored Lu Peng, her sharp gaze turning toward the Messenger Officer Zhang Deli.

"Whose command are you delivering? Show me the Talisman!"

"Reporting to Hall Master Fengh, it is a Talisman issued by Vice Sect Master Yao for your review!" The Messenger Officer Zhang Deli respectfully handed over a Purple Jade Token, his demeanor no longer arrogant.

Earlier, Vice Hall Master Lu seemed to have the intention to please this Messenger Officer, but when faced with Fengh Qingyue, he was directly disregarded!

However, what was more absolute and astonishing was yet to come!

Hall Master Fengh Qingyue took the Purple Jade Token from the Messenger Officer, without even looking at it, and the moment it was in her hand, a burst of Spirit Light turned the Talisman into a pile of dust in her delicate hand.

Officer Zhang Deli’s face turned extremely ugly!

"Hall Master Fengh, I need to return this Talisman, now that you’ve destroyed it, what should I do?"

"Return it? Such a chaotic command, why bother returning?"

Fengh Qingyue flicked her hand, and the dust from the destroyed purple Talisman enveloped Officer Zhang Deli.

"Now, get lost!"

"And tell Yao Sen, has the Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s Divine Guards, Iron Guards, and members of other halls all died out? To actually demand manpower from my Moonlight Hall?

Tell him, if he wants people from my Moonlight Hall, he must bring the Sect Hierarch’s command!"

A few sharp rebukes made the Messenger Officer Zhang Deli repeatedly change colors. No longer was there any trace of his previous arrogance as he hurriedly took off flying, quickly leaving the Moonlight Hall.

A smile appeared on Ye Zhen’s face, his judgement had been correct.

Just from that one rule of the Moonlight Hall, Ye Zhen had deduced that Fengh Qingyue was a person of extreme strength. Otherwise, why would the Messenger Officer want to bypass Hall Master Fengh Qingyue in delivering the command!

Indeed, as soon as Fengh Qingyue arrived, the previously arrogant Messenger Officer fled without even daring to utter half a word of objection.

However, Fengh Qingyue was not done speaking. After driving away that Messenger Officer, her gaze sharply turned to Vice Hall Master Lu Peng.

"Lu Peng, you may leave as well!" Fengh Qingyue’s words were as shocking as ever!

Lu Peng was taken aback and somewhat confused, "Hall Master Fengh, what do you mean?"

"Hmph, our Moonlight Hall does not need a Vice Hall Master who betrays our trust. Before I lose my temper, you’d better leave at once. The further you go, the better, and don’t ever come back!"

Lu Peng’s face suddenly turned from black to red to green, an extraordinary sight to behold!
