394: Chapter 394 The Poisonous Scheme Reappears, Attacked from Within and Without

Kumu and Hu Yong looked at Mo Feng, their hearts churning with massive waves.

Change the Clan Chief?

This is to...

But they quickly suppressed the shock in their hearts, and their eyes ignited with a gleam of excitement.

If Mo Feng became the Clan Chief, then they, as the loyal followers who supported the Dragon...

"Brother Mo Feng, no, Clan Chief Mo Feng," Hu Yong was the first to react, smiling as he said, "Whatever orders you have, just say the word. We will definitely cooperate fully."

Mo Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother Kumu, you continue to gather men and surround the Hehuan Sect.

Remember, the momentum must be grand; let everyone know that our Taihu Clan is dissatisfied with Xu Ruyu."

Kumu nodded: "Understood."

"Brother Hu Yong, you continue to spread the news. Make it fast and widespread, so the entire Tianyin Mountain knows of Xu Ruyu's 'crimes'."

Hu Yong said with a smile: "Leave it to me."

Mo Feng stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with a cold, sinister light.

"As for me—I will personally go to see the Grand Elder. I will request the ancestral artifact and make a trip to the Illusory Moon Well."

He paused, a vicious smile curling the corners of his lips:

"Xu Ruyu, this time, let's see how you die.

Come, someone! Secretly pass the news that our Taihu Clan is going to settle scores with the Hehuan Sect to the guests outside. Remember, do this discreetly!"

...

That afternoon, a shocking piece of news began to spread across Tianyin Mountain:

"Have you heard? Xu Ruyu killed Zhou Jingxing! And he killed a dozen other people too!"

"What? Holy Master Xu? Impossible, right?"

"It's absolutely true! My cousin's Junior Brother's cousin saw it with his own eyes! Xu Ruyu blew Zhou Jingxing's head off with one shot, and then killed over a dozen followers!"

"Why? Did Zhou Jingxing offend him?"

"Who knows? Maybe he took a fancy to something Zhou Jingxing had. Regardless, he killed him, wiped them all out clean!"

"That's too ruthless! Even if Zhou Jingxing was at fault, it should be handled by the Law Enforcement Hall. What right does an outsider have to kill?"

"Exactly! That's too arrogant!"

Similar discussions spread through every corner of Tianyin Mountain.

Some were angry, some shocked, some skeptical, but more people had already concluded that Xu Ruyu was "killing the innocent indiscriminately."

After all, the ones who died were "their own people."

After all, Xu Ruyu was an "outsider."

The news became more and more outrageous, more and more exaggerated as it spread.

Some said Xu Ruyu killed over twenty people, some said over thirty, and others said Xu Ruyu had hacked Zhou Jingxing into pieces...

And the truth had long been drowned out by these rumors.

Meanwhile, Kumu had gathered nearly a hundred Disciples under his command and marched grandly toward Qixia Valley.

These people were holding Magical Artifacts, their Aura aggressive, and more people kept joining them along the way.

By the time they arrived outside Qixia Valley, two or three hundred people had gathered.

They surrounded the valley entrance tightly, clamoring for Xu Ruyu to come out and pay with his life.

The Hehuan Sect Disciples were badly frightened by this display, retreating into the valley and sending someone to notify Leng Ningshuang and the others.

Leng Ningshuang and the four others quickly rushed to the valley entrance, and their expressions changed upon seeing the dark mass of people outside.

"What is going on?" Leng Ningshuang asked in a low voice.

A Taihu Clan Disciple stepped forward, pointed at her, and cursed: "Your Hehuan Sect's Xu Ruyu killed over a dozen of our clan's Disciples! Today, you must hand him over to pay with his life!"

"Right! Hand him over!"

"A life for a life!"

"Hand over Xu Ruyu!"

The crowd was incensed, their shouting shaking the heavens.

Leng Ningshuang frowned deeply. She didn't know what had happened, but she believed Xu Ruyu would not kill without reason.

"Everyone, calm down," she said in a deep voice, "There must be a hidden reason for this. When our Sect Master returns, he will definitely give everyone an explanation."

"Explanation? What explanation? People are already dead, what kind of explanation do we need?"

"None of you in the Hehuan Sect are any good!"

"If you don't hand over Xu Ruyu today, we will charge in and kill you all!"

Leng Ningshuang's expression became even uglier.

She knew that saying anything now was useless; she could only wait for Xu Ruyu to return.

At this moment, Xu Ruyu had just returned Xiao Nianyin to Tingquan Residence to settle her in and was preparing to go to the Transmission Monument Forest to find Yue Ling.

Suddenly, he sensed the commotion at the valley entrance, and his face darkened.

...

Three hundred li outside Tianyin Mountain, Situ E was still sitting cross-legged on that bluestone.

A scout hurried over and knelt on one knee: "Sect Master! There is a change at Tianyin Mountain!"

Situ E's eyes lit up: "Speak!"

The scout said: "According to reliable intelligence, Xu Ruyu killed over a dozen Taihu Clan Disciples. Now the Taihu Clan is in an uproar, and hundreds of people have surrounded the Hehuan Sect base, demanding he pay with his life!"

Situ E stood up abruptly, a gleam of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Good! That is great!"

He paced back and forth, the smile on his face growing brighter: "This Xu Ruyu is truly my lucky star!

I was just worrying about how to attack, and he has delivered himself right to my doorstep!"

He stopped abruptly and said to the Disciple beside him: "Pass the order down: assemble the troops and prepare to set out!"

"Sect Master, we are going now?"

Situ E sneered: "If not now, when? The Taihu Clan is in chaos, the Hehuan Sect is surrounded, and Xu Ruyu is overwhelmed.

If we don't go to reap the benefits now, are we waiting for others to do it?"

He looked toward the direction of Tianyin Mountain, his eyes filled with greed and lecherousness: "Xiao Nianyin... I have waited for this day for too long."

Meanwhile, on another mountain peak, Zhao Qianyi also received the news.

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking toward Tianyin Mountain, his eyes flickering with complex light.

"Xu Ruyu... you have finally shown a flaw."

He turned around and said to the Disciple behind him: "Pass the order down: prepare to set out."

"Elder, are we going with the Jile Sect?"

Zhao Qianyi sneered: "Together? Of course not. We will follow behind and let them fight first. When both sides are injured, we will make our move."

The Disciple was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Elder is wise!"

Zhao Qianyi looked into the distance, his eyes filled with coldness and anticipation.

"Xiao Nianyin, this time, you won't be able to escape."

Inside Tianyin Mountain, a storm was brewing.

Outside Tianyin Mountain, the jackals had bared their fangs.

And Xu Ruyu, having just sensed the commotion at the valley entrance, had a terrifyingly dark expression.
