CHAPTER 228: CHAPTER 124: BREAKING THROUGH NINE HEAVY GATES ALONE (PART 2)

Old Qian was sweating profusely! He heard at noon that Xiaomiao’s father had an accident, and Xiaopang’s mother had a nearly identical accident last month, which made him feel that something major was amiss.

He informed He Kao, who was far away in Sawa Country, about this matter but urged him not to tell anyone else for now, which meant not to let Xiaopang know. As a result, not only did Hidden Moth find out, but he also chased to the home of Yang Lingxi in Nanhua City.

Hidden Moth should have been going to settle accounts with the mastermind behind the scenes. However, Yan Congfei, who instructed Yang Lingxi, was already dead, yet he encountered a more serious unexpected situation.

Recalling the events of that night at the abandoned Joy Valley Amusement Park, Old Qian hardly dared to imagine—what would happen in Nanhua City tonight?

Qian Guran, of course, couldn’t reveal Hidden Moth’s identity, but the matter had to be reported to the Ancestral Hall immediately, so he contacted Second Elder and Elder Gu overnight.

He didn’t exaggerate, nor did he add any of his judgments; he merely reported the information he had truthfully.

Incidentally, he also mentioned a personal matter, telling Second Elder Zong Zheng that he had broken through to Tier Four and planned to return to the Sect Ancestral Hall during the Spring Festival for a Secondary Inheritance ceremony. Besides the holiday break, he would also take some paid leave, which should be sufficient time.

The ceremony required Second Elder to preside over it, so he needed to confirm when Second Elder would be available.

Second Elder replied they could discuss it in person as he and Elder Gu would immediately rush to Qi Yuan, and he urged Qian Guran to first settle Chen Yuhua’s mother and daughter properly, ensuring no more mistakes occur.

Wild Phoenix and Kang Rulin would also rush to Nanhua as quickly as possible, after all, the incident happened in Nanhua. The Ancestral Hall consisted of seven elders, each representing the Seven Great Magic Sects, and this time four of them were dispatched.

Was it necessary to make such a grand move just because of an accident involving Yan Congfei? On regular days, the case could be investigated by a steward from the Observing Body Sect.

But this time was different; Yan Congfei was almost certainly silenced by a high-tier sorcerer, and Hidden Moth was also present at the scene... the matters behind the scenes must be no small affair.

Later that night, many people were not idle, and what was He Kao doing?

Around one in the morning, Gao Xue’e was in a bit of a daze while asleep when she suddenly heard a noise, realizing it was He Kao... she had given He Kao a room card to her room.

Then she felt He Kao’s heartbeat quicken, his body slightly hot, which provoked a strong reaction from her... From Nanhua to Sawa, from feminine to masculine, He Kao also experienced a metamorphosis.

Such departmental trips abroad for team-building were different from ordinary tour groups; the itinerary was not very tight, mainly focusing on leisure and relaxation, without the need to rush to various attractions or wake up very early.

The gathering time in the morning was nine-thirty, allowing everyone to sleep a bit longer.

He Kao got up just before nine; any later, and he would miss breakfast. As the department’s leader and temporary team leader, Gao Xue’e had already gotten up and gone downstairs but did not wake him while he was still sound asleep.

Opening his phone, He Kao found over a dozen missed calls and also saw many messages from Jiang Daozhen.

Old Man Jiang was anxious, asking what the situation was now, why he didn’t reply to messages or answer calls, and what exactly happened last night?

Others didn’t know He Kao’s identity, but Jiang Daozhen, Gu Chun, and Li Xiuyuan, these three elders knew he was Hidden Moth. Last night, Hidden Moth appeared in Nanhua City, killed a person whose identity was unknown, and rescued Chen Yuhua.

Moreover, Elder Jiang had heard that Yan Congfei’s body was discovered early in the morning in a distant park, and the police had also arrived on the scene... this must have been Hidden Moth’s arrangement too.

As for how Yan Congfei died, the Ancestral Hall had already received Qian Guran’s report. Jiang Daozhen told He Kao that Yang Lingxi and Chen Yuhua flew back to Qi Yuan City from the airport and went straight to find Qian Guran upon landing.

Elder Gu of the Heart Plate Sect and Elder Zong of the Qi Observation Sect had already rushed to Qi Yuan City early in the morning, traveling by high-speed train.

Elder Ye of the Observing Body Sect and Elder Kang of the Microcosm Sect had set off for Nanhua City and should be on a plane at the moment.

The elders on the road didn’t know; although Nanhua City seemed calm today, the events of last night had been bigger than they imagined!

Hidden Moth’s actions this time were unlike the previous time; not only did no one go missing, but he also stripped the identities of all participants bare.

He Kao promptly replied to Old Man Jiang’s message, then the phone rang immediately.

With nothing to hide from the old man, He Kao gave a brief account, knowing that if the Ancestral Hall were to investigate, they could find out what Hidden Moth did in Nanhua last night.

He then sent photos of eight ID cards and a small banner to Jiang Daozhen, finally asking, "Do you know who these people are?"

Jiang Daozhen responded after a while: "I’ll explain to you in detail later, but I’ll send you some information first.

For the next few days, just stay abroad and enjoy your trip without hopping back and forth! Do you know what kind of hornet’s nest you’ve stirred up?"

He Kao replied, "It wasn’t me who stirred up the hornet’s nest; it was the hornets that came to sting me. This is an issue with the Magic Sect that you should resolve; it can’t all depend on me!"

Jiang Daozhen: "We’re not relying on you, but I thank you on behalf of the Magic Sect!"

At this moment, Elder Li Xiuyuan of the Xingshen Sect was beside Jiang Daozhen, seemingly having a toothache, grimacing as he inhaled sharply, "You haven’t even made a move with your chariots, horses, and cannons in this chess game, and you’re already going for a check in the first step?"

Jiang Daozhen: "Man proposes, God disposes. I didn’t expect it either. No matter how great our abilities as elders are, we can’t usually keep an eye on Hidden Moth, don’t forget he can teleport."

Li Xiuyuan: "This strategy is worse than no strategy at all! Our goal is to rectify the Magic Sect, not to topple it."

Jiang Daozhen resentfully said, "It’s not like the Magic Sect hasn’t toppled before! You don’t know about the events from twelve hundred years ago? It’s not because of Hidden Moth that the sect toppled, but because there were too many like the Huiming Shi Family at that time.

This time it wasn’t Hidden Moth who provoked the Huiming Shi Family, but the Huiming Shi Family that came looking for him."

Li Xiuyuan asked, "Didn’t you tell him what the situation with the Huiming Shi Family is? He even got their ID cards and still doesn’t know their identities."

Old Man Jiang replied somewhat regretfully, "I didn’t say! My thought was, no matter who it is, whether it’s the Zhao Family or the Sun Family, investigate what needs investigating, arrest what needs arresting.

But his cultivation is still shallow, so he should proceed step by step, I didn’t want him to challenge such a high difficulty immediately."

Li Xiuyuan sighed, "These things are beyond his control, or yours or mine, quickly send the information to the kid. If you’re going to protect him, you must let him understand his opponents.

This Secret Transmission of yours didn’t follow your step-by-step plan; he’s about to overturn the Magic Sect’s table directly.

The Shi Family lost a Tier Four Artisan, and they even lost the Earth Spirit Banner. The most suitable to deal with the Hidden Moth Spirit Lock Array can no longer be arranged.

A mere Tier Two cultivation, how did he manage it? I can hardly believe it!"

Jiang Daozhen: "That’s not right, what do you mean my Secret Transmission, don’t you have a share too?"
