1548 Two Impactful News (1/2)

One month later, a few Moon Illumination Sect's disciples found a body not far away from the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate.

There was a Moon Illumination Sect's identity Order Token hanging by the body's waist. Moreover, it was an inner court disciple's identity Order Token.

A commotion immediately broke out in the sect.

Killing a Moon Illumination Sect's disciple in the proximity of the Moon Illumination Sect and it was an inner court disciple on top of that. This was no doubt giving a huge slap to the Moon Illumination Sect's face… Who was so daring?!

While the Moon Illumination Sect was still in an uproar over the death of an inner court disciple, another shocking news began to spread out.

”The inner court disciple was killed because he personally witnessed the death of Elder Zhao Feng. Due to this reason, he met with a misfortune!” Nobody knew where this news came from, and nobody knew who had spread the news. However, in just a few days, this news had swept through the entire Moon Illumination Sect.

The Moon Illumination Sect was in an uproar again.

Elder Zhao Feng was dead?

The people who received the news first were shocked when they heard about Zhao Feng's death. These people were the nominal disciples in Zhao Feng's residence.

”No wonder the Sect Leader previously came to ask us if Elder Zhao Feng told us where he was going… Perhaps, the Sect Leader had already known something had happened to Elder Zhao Feng at that time.” The group of nominal disciples in Zhao Feng's residence exchanged glances with each other. They could piece the puzzles together immediately.

At the same time, many inner court elders who usually interacted with Zhao Feng came to Zhao Feng's residence in an attempt to confirm if the news was true.

When they found out Zhao Feng had left a long time ago and did not come back since then, they realized the news might not be a baseless rumor.

After these inner court elders had confirmed the news, almost the entire sect was certain about Zhao Feng's death.

Moon Illumination Sect's forbidden area.

Crash!

A cup was thrown violently on the ground and shattered into pieces.

The person who had smashed the cup was an old man. Currently, the old man's expression was grave.

Soon after, the old man left his mansion and arrived at a mansion nearby.

”Sect Leader, didn't you say that nobody in the sect knows about Zhao Feng's whereabouts? Then how did someone spread the news of an inner court disciple being killed after witnessing Zhao Feng's death?” The person whom the old man went to look for was Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect.

Jiang Wei was not shocked when he saw the old man came to seek for an explanation. Instead, he smiled wryly. ”Junior Uncle, the news is just a baseless rumor… I've investigated for a few days now, and I couldn't find from where or who the news came from. Someone must be pulling the strings from behind,” Jiang Wei said with certainty.

”I don't care if there's anyone pulling the strings from behind. I must get to the bottom of this matter… If you can't do it, I'll investigate it personally! It has been a long time since an old fellow like me has flexed my muscles. Perhaps I can seize this chance to move around a little,” the old man said in a deep voice.

”Please be rest assured, Junior Uncle Qian. I'll find out the cause of Zhao Feng's death as soon as I can,” Jiang Wei pledged sincerely and solemnly. ”Please just wait for my news, Junior Uncle Qian.”

He was really worried the old man would personally make a move. He also knew about the old man's temper. He would do everything for the sake of Zhao Feng, his illegitimate son.

”Sect Leader, my patience is limited.” After taking a deep look at Jiang Wei, the old man finally turned and left.

After the old man left, Jiang Wei's face was no longer filled with respect. Instead, it had turned glum.

Although the old man was his senior, he was still the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect no matter what. The way the old man had threatened him really annoyed him. He felt as though his prestige as the Sect Leader had been provoked.

However, the moment he recalled the old man's strength was in no way inferior to his, the annoyance in his heart vanished without a trace.

Besides, no matter what, the old man was a patron to the Moon Illumination Sect.

The old man's matter was a duty that he could not simply disregard.

”I hope you've hidden yourself well. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die a terrible death when I find you!” The moment he thought of that person who spread the news about Zhao Feng's death, Jiang Wei's expression turned extremely grave.

”Among the people I know, other than Junior Uncle and myself, the only other person who knows about Zhao Feng's death is Liu Huan… Apart from that, I suppose only the person who knows about this is Zhao Feng's killer.” As the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, Jiang Wei was, naturally, very meticulous.

Due to this reason, the first person he had suspected was Liu Huan.
