Chapter 279: Chapter 248 Behind the Scenes Person_l

“Not good!”

Upon witnessing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Even though Kong Feichen had plotted against him, after their conversation, Chen Mobai understood his motives, because it was all to cure the mental illness of Yang Jing.

So when Kong Feichen left with Yang Jing, Chen Mobai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might be a good resolution for the siblings.

The moment Lin Yin appeared abruptly, Chen Mobai wanted to stop her. But the influence of Kong Feichen’s “binding” was too powerful, and even his potent Divine Sense could not mobilize an iota of the spiritual power within his Qi Sea in the Dantian.

A flicker of inexplicable sorrow flashed in his eyes. He closed them, unwilling to watch the scene of Kong Feichen getting killed.

At that very moment, his Divine Sense sensed an unprecedented mighty aura that he had never felt before.

A faint sound of cutting through the air echoed, and a withered, yellow leaf shot down from the roof across. It gently landed on Lin Yin’s dagger that had already drawn blood on Kong Feichen’s neck.

A sharp ring!

The crystal-clear sound of the shattering echoed. After breaking the dagger with the falling leaf, the momentum of the shot continued and grazed past Lin Yin’s outstretched right shoulder.

Blood splashed, and Lin Yin let out a muffled grunt. Holding her injured joint, she disappeared into thin air once again.

Who was it?

Chen Mobai was unsure. That blood-stained, withered yellow leaf fluttered down and landed on the table in front of him, next to an empty glass bottle.

He looked up and saw Kong Feichen also looking surprised. Apparently, he hadn’t expected someone to be lying in wait nearby. He didn’t know who had made the move, let alone who had saved him.

“Get going!”

A synthesized electronic sound rang out. Chen Mobai looked over and saw a figure in a black hoodie. He couldn’t see the figure or face clearly. Only the pair of bright pupils indicated that it was a human being.

“Thank you, senior.”

Kong Feichen felt the injuries on his neck. Not wanting to delay any further, he thanked the mysterious person, and with Yang Jing in his arms, he directly stepped into the silver fire ring.

After watching them disappear, Chen Mobai looked back to the rooftop across the street only to find that the person was gone.

He took a deep breath and struggled to lift his palm, gently touching the withered yellow leaf on the table.

It was a commonplace leaf, one that could be easily plucked from the cypress trees planted all over the city.

However, this ordinary leaf, right before Chen Mobai, had defeated a high-powered cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, whom not even he was aware of.

Who was this person?

Undoubtedly stronger than him, as Chen Mobai’s most powerful Sword Rainbow Fission, if it were to accomplish its full power, must be used in combination with a Rank-2 Magic Artifact, such as the Flying Sparrow Hairpin.

But this person had used merely a common withered leaf.

Plucking leaves into flight, flicking enemies away with a snap.

Chen Mobai had a feeling that this person seemed to be more formidable than both the earth-shattering Lan Haitian and the eye-commanding woman from the Ascension Sect!

But Lan Haitian was already the strongest cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage in the Sect.

Stronger than him…

Could it be the Gold Core cultivator!

Upon realizing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

After a long while, when he felt that his hands could move freely again, he took out his mobile phone and located the number of his teacher, Che Yucheng, in the contacts list.

Just as he was about to make the call, a faint cough sounded in his ear.

“You’re still here?”

Chen Mobai didn’t know who Lin Yin was, but he immediately realized it was her.

“Every move of a Gold Core cultivator in the Sect must be reported to the Xianwu Hall in advance.”

Lin Yin appeared before Chen Mobai, holding her shoulder. She sat in the spot where Kong Feichen was just now. While she spoke, she took out two pieces of white plasters and applied them crosswise on the wound.

In no time, Chen Mobai saw that her wound stopped bleeding, healed rapidly, and started forming a scab.

“What are you trying to say?”

“There were no other Gold Core cultivators visiting Red Sandstone City recently. There are only two that hold the city.”

Lin Yin looked up, her brown pupils meeting Chen Mobai’s, revealing shocking news.

“Do you mean…”

“If the Gold Core cultivators are indeed involved, the palace entrusted with upholding the law in the Sect may not necessarily be able to handle it. The matter needs to be escalated to the Xianwu Hall.”

The Sect is governed by three halls. While the Xianwu Hall is in charge of administrating the three billion cultivators as per the law, including birth, old age, sickness, and death, the judicial hall is committed to upholding the law and eliminating any heretical elements who disrupt it and the happiness of the people.

The final hall, the originator, is responsible for mandating the laws of the Sect.

Admission to the originator hall is simple.

Any cultivator who is a Gold Core and hasn’t been deprived of his political rights by the Sect can join.

That implies that each Gold Core cultivator is a manager of the Sect.

And the two Gold Core cultivators of Red Sandstone City are listed in the originator hall. If they are indeed involved, the judicial hall has no jurisdiction over them.

First, the originator hall needs to oust them, and then only can the laws of the Sect be applied to them.

“I don’t believe that the two true men are like this.”

Chen Mobai shook his head and declared his disbelief, but he didn’t directly mention the names of the two real men of Red Sandstone City.

“Simply on my suspicion, the originator hall certainly won’t start an investigation.”

While Lin Yin spoke, her brown pupils met those of Chen Mobai, who shook his head immediately.

“Whether the culprit is a Gold Core cultivator is merely your speculation, I cannot testify for you..”
