Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124
Everyone was stunned.
Absolutely everyone!
Including the Moon God Pavilion Master, all the high-ranking members present were taken aback by Yi Feng's words.
No one could have anticipated it.
Faced with such a perilous mission, this newly appointed elder had stepped forward without hesitation.
The entire hall was frozen in astonishment, their shock impossible to conceal.
In an instant, the already silent atmosphere grew even quieter!
Even Qing Yin Xianyun's eyes trembled as she turned to look at him, her delicate face clearly reflecting disbelief and awe.
While the others barely knew Yi Feng and could only stare in bewilderment, Qing Yin Xianyun, who owed him a debt of gratitude, was now filled with urgency. She quickly rose to dissuade him.
"Elder Yi, this mission is extremely dangerous. You’ve only just joined our Moon God Pavilion and aren’t yet familiar with—"Before she could finish, Yi Feng decisively waved his hand!
"Saintess, no need for further words!"
That single gesture left the crowd even more dumbfounded.
The Moon God Pavilion Master’s eyes flickered with surprise. How could this newly recruited elder possess such selfless devotion to the sect?
Torn between shock and skepticism, he found it hard to believe such a paragon truly existed.
Unable to hold back, the Moon God Pavilion Master also spoke up, subtly testing Yi Feng’s resolve.
"Elder Yi."
"This mission is fraught with peril. You lack experience and haven’t fully acquainted yourself with the Pavilion’s affairs. Perhaps it would be better to entrust this task to another elder."
With the Pavilion Master speaking, the other elders—already shaken—could hardly remain silent. Some even felt a twinge of shame. Despite having no prior ties to Yi Feng, they chimed in one after another.
"Elder Yi, the Pavilion Master speaks wisely. This matter is far too dangerous—please reconsider!"
"Indeed! The Crimson Heaven Sect is ruthless, and their sudden rise is highly suspicious. You must not act recklessly!"
"Elder Yi, we understand your eagerness to prove yourself, but caution is paramount!"
...
The more they pleaded, the more invigorated Yi Feng became.
Observing the Pavilion Master’s grave expression and the elders’ uneasy, conflicted gazes, he could almost see the terrifying might of this emerging faction. ＲΆℕỌ𝖇Ě𝙎
Their words blurred together in his ears.
Amid the clamor, only one phrase rang clear:
"Young man, this path leads only to death!"
Perfect.
This was the opportunity of a lifetime!
Yi Feng felt electrified. Without hesitation, he clasped his fists and declared,
"Enough! No more words!"
"This mission to gather intelligence shall be mine—Yi Feng’s!"
His resolute tone left the entire hall speechless.
Not only were the elders stunned into silence, but even the Moon God Pavilion Master was momentarily at a loss. Yi Feng’s unwavering determination left no room for negotiation.
Witnessing his unshakable resolve, the crowd finally grasped the depth of his selflessness.
Despite being new to the Moon God Pavilion, despite the immense risks, he had stepped forward without hesitation—all for the sake of the sect.
Such nobility was rare in this world.
A true prodigy.
A prodigy indeed!
The Moon God Pavilion Master’s eyes gleamed with admiration.
Now he understood why Qing Yin Xianyun had repeatedly recommended Yi Feng. Recalling her brief descriptions, he realized Yi Feng’s deeds of valor must have far surpassed mere words, earning his disciple’s profound gratitude.
With celestial-tier cultivation, exceptional talent, and such unwavering loyalty—willing to risk his life for the sect—
This was a blessing to the Moon God Pavilion.
Among all the assembled elders, not one possessed such decisiveness. In this alone, Yi Feng outshone them a hundredfold, deserving the highest respect.
The Moon God Pavilion Master’s spirits soared. He slammed his jade armrest and exclaimed,
"Excellent!"
"Elder Yi, you are truly a prodigy of our Moon God Pavilion! If you succeed in uncovering the enemy’s secrets, I shall grant you any request!"
Whoosh!
His booming voice echoed, and the elders on either side gaped in disbelief.
Any request?
Such a promise was unprecedented!
Yet they also knew the gravity of this mission.
The sudden rise of that sect was undoubtedly sinister.
And since Yi Feng had been the first to volunteer, he deserved nothing less. Though envy flickered in their hearts, they could not deny his worthiness.
The crowd was thoroughly impressed, and Qing Yin Xianyun was even more deeply moved.
She had known Yi Feng for some time and was aware of his noble character, but never had she imagined such extraordinary selflessness.
"Elder Yi, to aid your mission, I will assign two outer sect elders and thirty elite disciples. They will await you at the mountain gate at dawn tomorrow."
"They will follow your every command, ensuring your triumphant return," the Pavilion Master added.
Assistance?
No, that wouldn’t do!
Yi Feng was about to protest when the Moon God Pavilion Master cut him off with a stern look.
"Elder Yi, do not refuse!"
"This reconnaissance mission requires familiarity with the terrain. You must have guides—not just for the mission’s success, but for the sake of the sect!"
Seeing the logic in this, Yi Feng held his tongue.
Once the discussions concluded and plans were finalized, the elders dispersed.
Only Qing Yin Xianyun lingered, urgently offering advice.
"Elder Yi, tomorrow’s journey is fraught with peril. The two outer sect elders are likely at the Saint realm, and I will personally select the thirty disciples. May you return safely."
"If anything goes awry, retreat at once. Above all, be cautious!"
Seeing her grave expression, Yi Feng eagerly clasped his hands in gratitude.
"Understood. Thank you, Saintess."
With that, they parted ways.
As Yi Feng leisurely strolled out of the main hall’s courtyard, his mind buzzed with calculations.
A barely celestial-tier cultivator like himself, leading two Saint-realm outer sect elders and a motley crew of disciples against the ferocious Crimson Heaven Sect…
This was suicide. A guaranteed death sentence.
Returning to his quarters, Yi Feng wore a blissful smile.
At last.
His long-awaited hope was within reach.
