Hidden moth

Chapter 221: Determined to bring chaos to the sect
Zou Tianjin was attacked between the evening of October 3 and the early morning of October 4. On the morning of October 4, He Kao flew back to Qiyuan from Nanhua, using the excuse of family matters.

Now a group of sorcerers have gathered in Nanhua to conduct an investigation. He Kao might be noticed by someone, so it is inconvenient to stay there. He should go back to Qiyuan before the holiday is over.

If memory serves him correctly, this is exactly his first anniversary as a Hidden Moth Sect member. On the early morning of October 4th, a year ago, Fatty Huang passed on the Hidden Moth identity to him, and now he is a fourth-rank scholar within the Hidden Moth Sect.

The fourth-level sorcerers were jokingly called scholars by the Yin'e Sect, yamen runners by the Wangqi Sect, doctors by the Guanshen Sect, craftsmen by the Ruwei Sect, flower boys by the Xingshen Sect, merchants by the Xinpan Sect, gardeners by the Danding Sect, and charlatans by the Lingxi Sect.

These sound like very common identities in the world. Their purpose is to remind these disciples of the art that they should not get carried away after becoming powerful, and they should not forget their roots. They are still ordinary people in the world.

The title of scholar may also mean that when one's cultivation reaches this level, one needs to observe more, think more, learn more, travel more, and research more, especially to study the characteristics of various magic methods.

At noon that day, He Kao appeared in Chongchuan again, wearing the face of another person. This was a real person, Feng Zilong, a cleaner under Ku Cha, codenamed "Big Cannon Fort".

Feng Zilong returned to the secret base and attempted to assassinate Ye Liangcheng, but was counterattacked by He Kao and Ye Liangcheng. Afterwards, He Kao found Feng Zilong's whereabouts and searched for his ID and the mobile phone he usually used.

Except for He Kao and two other "Yin'e Sect disciples", no one knew that Feng Zilong was dead, and no one even realized that Feng Zilong was missing.

After mastering the secret technique, Feng Zilong had been doing dirty work for Kucha, while also occasionally doing some private work on his own. He had committed enough crimes to warrant execution several times. He had long since cut off contact with his family and his whereabouts were extremely secretive.

Normally, no one knew where he was or what he was doing, so his disappearance would not attract any attention. However, his build was similar to He Kao's, and he left behind all the necessary documents, making him the perfect disguise.

Lan Jiuwan once disguised herself as Shang Yan, another cleaner working for Ku Cha, because Shang Yan's figure was similar to hers, and she also got Shang Yan's passport and ID card.

Lan Jiuwan, using the skills of a third-level appraiser, created a mask that was so realistic that it resembled the human skin masks in novels. It wasn't made of human skin, but when worn on the face, it looked like human skin, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect.

Although the mask made by Lan Jiuwan was exquisite, it could still be seen through by divine sense at that time.

He Kao refined the Yin'e Sha again, and after putting it on, he could transform into the appearance of Feng Zilong. Unless a master like Gu Chun used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate, it would be difficult for ordinary sorcerers, including high-level sorcerers, to detect it.

Magical weapons are not omnipotent. Gu Chun once reminded him that he should master the method of controlling the weapon on a daily basis and try not to let others notice the fluctuations of his spiritual energy and magic power... The monks of the Yin E Sect are the best at this. Concealing one's breath and moving stealthily are basic skills.

Following the address Gu Chun had given him, He Kao arrived at the third floor of a motel and knocked on the door of a guest room. This was just a courtesy; this kind of lock was no problem for him; he could open it directly with his spiritual sense.

Gu Chun sent a divine thought: "Come in, open the door yourself."

He Kao pushed the door open and walked in. Gu Chun, who was sitting in an armchair, said in surprise, "Yin'esha is truly amazing! If I met you in the street, I wouldn't even notice your disguise."

He Kao: "I followed your advice and put in a lot of effort. Now I look like this. In fact, I am a cleaner under Ku Cha, named Feng Zilong..."

He Kao had nothing to hide from the old man. He introduced Feng Zilong's situation and then asked curiously, "What's that over there? It looks familiar to me."

The guest room has a large bed, a TV cabinet, a desk, two armchairs and a small round table by the window.

On the TV cabinet sat a few small cards, printed with photos of beautiful women and their contact information—the kind advertising home massage services. Nearby were a few familiar little things; He Kao had found them in his apartment and his old house.

Gu Chun replied, "I just removed the micro camera. This place is a bit messy."

This budget hotel has a three-star sign hanging at the front desk and also provides hourly room service. There is a vocational and technical college next to it, so the bustling crowds of people make it seem a bit messy.

He Kao: "You've traveled the world and seen it all... What happened yesterday?"

The sixth-rank cultivator was indeed extraordinary. If an ordinary person wanted to explain yesterday's experience clearly, it would take a lot of words, but Gu Chun only needed a divine thought.

He Kao was stunned for a moment, as if his CPU was running at high speed. After almost a minute, he finally spoke: "Yesterday I was wondering why only Gong Xiaodong, a deacon, was responsible for investigating this matter, and no elders of the clan law hall were personally involved.

So you've been watching secretly, but no one knows about it... But how did you happen to appear in Chongchuan?"

Gu Chun: "Isn't it normal not to know? Do I have to report to them and ask for instructions before doing anything? What if one of them has a problem, won't the news leak out?

After Fabre's plan on Shiyun Road failed, he still insisted on implicating Lu Shutang. This was not right. Deacon Zou was certainly worried, so it was understandable that he came to Chongchuan with the investigators from the Zongfa Hall.

Shi Yunlu's plot failed. If Fabre has any other tricks up his sleeve, they're likely connected to Lu Shutang, so I came along to see what's going on. If there's nothing else going on, there's no need for me to show up."

He Kao: "Thank you for flying so far!"

Gu Chun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you take me for a fool? Why do you have to fly by yourself for no reason? I'm not in Nanhua recently. I'm still on business in Qiyuan. I heard the news and took the high-speed train here."

He Kao's flattery wasn't hitting the right spot, so he quickly asked, "Why are those people so obsessed with Deacon Zou? First they framed him but failed, then they came to Chongchuan to assassinate him, and they invested so much money in it!"

Gu Chun shook his head and said, "Don't be a wise man after the event and question the intention based on the results. Fabre was actually quite cautious. This is called anticipating the enemy and giving it a wide berth. He made all kinds of arrangements, but he didn't expect me to make a sudden move.

Think about it carefully. What would have happened if he had succeeded yesterday? Would you and I have been able to sleep peacefully?

Fabre's operation was well manned. He first recruited a team of mercenaries overseas, armed with automatic rifles, and then provided them with two vehicles upon arrival. These were essentially conventional assassins. Gu Chun already knew the identities of the Shuttleman and the Boomerangman.

The shuttler's surname was Li, a fifth-level Zhuyou practitioner practicing the art of observing the body, and Fabre's junior apprentice. Born in the East Country, he was a businessman with investments in the United States and permanent residency, frequently traveling abroad.

The Boomeranger's surname is Zhang. He is a fourth-level gardener who practices the art of alchemy. He is also from the East. He usually works as a supplier of medical materials. He and the Shuttler just arrived in Chongchuan yesterday morning.

Four people came from the Zongfa Hall. In addition to Zou Tianjin, there was Gong Xiaodong's disciple Yuan Lang, and one disciple each from the Xingshen Sect and Wangqi Sect who were temporarily transferred.

The men Fabre brought were prepared to deal with these people at the same time.

But after meeting Lu Shutang at noon, Yuan Lang and the others were certain that Lu Shutang was unaware of the situation. Perhaps the mastermind hadn't yet made any follow-up plans. So they all went back, leaving only Zou Tianjin in Chongchuan that night.

It would be easier for Fabre to deal with only Zou Tianjin, as there was almost no possibility of failure, but he was still very cautious.

Zou Tianjin was no ordinary fifth-rank warlock. To be able to serve as a powerful deacon of the Ruwei Sect, his strength must be at the top of the fifth rank. Furthermore, the methods of a Ruwei Sect warlock were unpredictable. Who knew what powerful magical instruments he might have?

So even though Fabre had the sixth-level cultivation, he did not act rashly. He first led Zou Tianjin to a remote seawall park, and then two teams of gunmen suddenly drove over in the dark.

Fabre did not expect these gunmen to be able to deal with Zou Tianjin, but he could use them to test Zou Tianjin's background, such as whether he was good at fighting, how much magic power he had cultivated, and what magic weapons he was used to using?
If Zou Tianjin has companions, they can be lured out during this process.

Facts proved that Zou Tianjin was indeed powerful. He wiped out two carloads of assassins in the blink of an eye, and it consumed very little energy, not even taking a breath. Seeing that Zou Tianjin was indeed alone, Fabre showed up in person.

Fabre also instructed two high-level sorcerers to keep watch outside to prevent Zou Tianjin from escaping and to prevent anyone from disturbing him. It can be said that he made it foolproof.

He had clearly told the other party the secret rumor from a thousand years ago, but Zou Tianjin didn't say anything or ask any questions, and immediately activated his protective magic weapon to rush forward... This was completely beyond Fabre's expectations.

Even though Fabul had a sixth-level cultivation, he rarely experienced such a scene and was almost killed by Zou Tianjin. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and counterattacked to injure Zou Tianjin, but was also injured by Zou Tianjin.

At this time, Fabre had no time to make any more arrangements, because a cloud in the sky turned into a fist and hit him. The oppressive feeling was so great that he couldn't even use his spiritual power. The first thing he could do was to flee to the sea.

He just wanted to escape, and at the same time, lure Gu Chun as far away as possible. He was unwilling to accept that after planning so many things, there was no result at all, and he also left the opportunity for his two men to continue assassinating Zou Tianjin.

Even in this situation, even if Zou Tianjin was killed, it would be difficult to achieve the original goal.

Gu Chun's appearance was an accident, and what was even more unexpected was that Gu Chun's strength was even stronger than he expected. Even with the help of the magical artifact Cheng Feng Yu, Fabre was still beaten badly while fighting and fleeing.

Gu Chun's final blow turned Fabre's minor injuries into serious ones, and he almost didn't escape. If Gu Chun hadn't also taken into account Zou Tianjin's situation, Fabre might not have been able to escape.

The appearance of He Kao was another surprise.

Otherwise, even if the shuttleman and the boomerangman failed to assassinate Zou Tianjin, they would have had the opportunity to escape before Gu Chun returned. However, in the end, no one escaped.

Judging from the results, Fabre invested such a huge amount of money to deal with Zou Tianjin, but in the end he lost almost everything, and even lost half of his life.

But what if the outcome was different? If Gu Chun hadn't been more cautious and came to Chongchuan yesterday, and He Kao hadn't shown up, and Fabre had successfully assassinated Zou Tianjin, what would the scene have been like?
That is, if Zou Tianjin died or disappeared inexplicably, and the remains of the killer in the two cars were left at the scene, it would only mislead the police or the clan hall's investigation direction. No one would know who the real murderer was, or even what happened to Deacon Zou.

In this situation, no matter who it is, it is inevitable that they would think that Deacon Zou came to Chongchuan to inquire about his nephew, either because he had something to do, or discovered some important situation, or escaped, or was silenced.

What on earth had Zou Tianjin done to deserve his escape? Given Zou Tianjin's level of cultivation, who could possibly have silenced him? Regardless of the circumstances, this would be a major event that would shake the entire clan's legal system.

Apart from anything else, Ruweimen will inevitably be in chaos. The disciples, especially the senior leaders, will become suspicious of each other, and the leader Kang Rulin will become a suspect.

Zou Tianjin and Kang Rulin's relationship was not very harmonious. He and Kang Rulin were not in the same faction in Ruweimen.

Kang Rulin was born in the Huiming Shi family. After the clan hall made the decision to punish the Huiming Shi family, Kang Rulin himself recused himself. All specific punishment measures against the Shi family members were implemented by Zou Tianjin on behalf of the clan.

The Huiming Shi family was originally one of the important and powerful factions in the Ruwei Sect. Its troubles involved the leader Kang Rulin, and now Zou Tianjin is also in trouble... It is hard to say what kind of chaos will happen.

If the headmaster, the stewards, and the important heirloom families were all in trouble, what would all the Ruwei disciples think? This would be a major blow to the sect's prestige, and many disciples would probably become disloyal.

Zou Tianjin's master, Ruweimen's supreme elder Guo Qianhuai is still alive, but he has retired to practice cultivation and no longer cares about affairs. However, this kind of thing must have alarmed him.

With Guo Qianhuai as the direct branch and the leader of the lineage, there are hundreds of sorcerers in this faction, including Zou Tianjin's own disciples, his fellow disciples, his fellow disciples' disciples, and these people's old friends... Through direct and indirect inheritance relationships!

If no one can give them a satisfactory explanation, they will conduct their own investigations, checking all the people they think are suspects or those with whom they have conflicts.

If the contradiction escalates and gets out of control, the Ruwei Sect will be at risk of falling into internal strife and division.

At that time, it will not only be the Ruwei Sect that will be affected. If the Ruwei Sect has such a big problem, then what about the Zongfa Hall and other sects... This is an easy association to make.
