C288 Which One Is Moh Lunhui?(1)

In the bustling marketplace, you could find all sorts of people and a plethora of items, from potions and artifacts to secret techniques. However, truly valuable treasures rarely made an appearance here. Woo Zhengyang knew he didn't have a knack for identifying rare treasures, so he accompanied Fu Chuan to the market just to broaden his horizons.

Almost everyone in the market knew Woo Zhengyang's name, but few had actually seen him. Their arrival didn't cause the same stir as when they first left the inner city. Occasionally, someone would recognize Woo Zhengyang, but they wouldn't make a fuss, which made things easier for him. Little did he know, his reputation in Heavenly Martial City had skyrocketed over the past couple of days, both for his fame and his infamy.

In the Mystic Trace Realm, he had taken down all the students from the Heavenly Martial Academy and eliminated the heads of twenty-five families under the Profound Heaven Sect. Who would dare to provoke such a figure lightly?

The market was vast and bustling. Woo Zhengyang and Fu Chuan wandered for about half an hour but didn't find anything that piqued their interest, so they headed back to the inner city.

At the city gates, the crowd was as dense as ever, and Woo Zhengyang remained the center of attention. In a secluded corner, a few figures stood silently. When they saw Woo Zhengyang appear, their reactions were noticeably different from the others, and even among themselves, their responses varied.

As Woo Zhengyang entered the inner city, these figures quietly retreated, returning to the small courtyard they had just left.

"Sect Masters, that's Woo Zhengyang. Is he the one you're looking for?" Quan Feiyan asked cautiously.

"He is indeed the one we're after. But tell me, when someone from our Fallen Star Sect asked your father about him, why didn't you speak up then?" Shao Jingyu, the Sect Master of the Fallen Star Sect, replied coolly.

"Well... we wanted to find him first, to avenge my brother!"

"Hmph! Avenge? Or were you just hoping to gain something for yourself?" scoffed Ye Nanxin, the Sect Master of the Fallen Moon Sect.

"No, no, I truly just wanted to avenge my brother..." Quan Feiyan broke into a cold sweat, and the old servant beside him looked equally tense.

"Back then, you shouldn't have kept this from us, delaying the plans of our three sects! And now, you shouldn't have come to us..."

"Young master, run!" The old servant suddenly shouted, attempting to flee over the wall before Ye Nanxin could finish speaking.

But in the presence of three experts at the Shape Gathering Stage, escape was impossible. As soon as the old servant made his move, Wong Jinghai, the Sect Master of the Fallen Sun Sect, intervened.

A Vital Spirit Giant Hand appeared out of nowhere, seizing him instantly. Trapped within the hand, the old servant's face contorted in agony, unable to utter a sound before being crushed to death.

"Why... us..." Quan Feiyan backed into a corner, terrified.

"If you hadn't kept things from us earlier, maybe you could've gained something. But now, with the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association approaching, do you really think we won't recognize him when he participates? Your information is useless to us, but it can't be allowed to reach others," Sect Master Ye Nanxin of the Fallen Moon Sect said angrily.

"Go in peace. I will avenge your brother and you!" Sect Master Shao Jingyu of the Fallen Star Sect declared, flicking a finger.

A flash of light passed, and Quan Feiyan let out a final groan before dying. His body then burst into flames...

"Useless fool, not worth pitying!" The Sect Master of the Fallen Sun Sect was equally furious, tossing the old servant's body onto Quan Feiyan's burning remains.

"He deserved it. If we had known the name, we might have found Woo Zhengyang by now. Instead, we ran into him in Heavenly Martial City and can only be anxious!" Ye Nanxin of the Fallen Moon Sect was the most enraged.

"This shows we need to improve our methods for finding people. We can't just rely on trusted individuals; we need to broaden our search."

"We used to worry about just Loong Zhiwu, and now there's Woo Zhengyang too. We must resolve this quickly before it reaches the Heavenly Martial Sect!"

"How do we handle it? This is Heavenly Martial City, and that kid is in the inner city!"

"Better safe than sorry. Even if he wasn't in the inner city, we can't act rashly. That kid is well-known and surely has some tricks up his sleeve. If we can't take him out in one strike and the Heavenly Martial Sect catches us, our three sects are doomed."

"Then we have to wait until he participates in the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association. Once he leaves Heavenly Martial City, we can make our move quietly, right?"

"If it weren't for Moh Lunhui, that would be the safest plan. But this guy and Moh Lunhui are locked in a death feud. If he dies at Moh Lunhui's hands in the Heavenly Martial Realm, and the No Life Sword ends up with Moh Lunhui..."

"Moh Lunhui wouldn't be foolish enough to hand the sword over to the Heavenly Martial Sect!"

"Others might not, but Moh Lunhui is even more unpredictable than Woo Zhengyang. We can't take that risk!"

"So, what do we do?"

The Sect Master of the Fallen Moon Sect, Ye Nanxin, and the Sect Master of the Fallen Star Sect, Shao Jingyu, exchanged words, but the situation only seemed to grow more urgent.

As the two continued their heated debate, Wong Jinghai, the Sect Master of the Fallen Sun Sect, who had been silent until now, finally spoke after a long contemplation, "Perhaps we could consider collaborating with someone."

"Collaborate?" Ye Nanxin and Shao Jingyu both looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Wong Jinghai paused for a moment and then began to whisper with the two of them...
