Lin Feng became the sixth true disciple of the Ninth Peak without offering tea or kowtowing.

After the test for true discipleship, Xiao Hongyi went into seclusion, leaving all matters of the Ninth Peak to Jiang Chen to manage.

Although Lin Feng, the Son of Destiny, had an intimidating aura, he was very popular among the disciples of the Ninth Peak.

The reason was simple. Before, the disciples of the Ninth Peak could complain to people like Jiang Lianyue about Jiang Chen's misdeeds and vent their frustrations.

But now? She's mad…

Madness aside, Jiang Chen's actions became more arrogant and domineering since Xiao Hongyi's seclusion, even treating Jiang Lianyue and others as his underlings.

Far from resenting this, they even enjoyed it!

If anyone spoke ill of Jiang Chen, Jiang Lianyue and the others would rush up and beat the person so badly they couldn't take care of themselves before he could act.

The disciples of the Ninth Peak were suffering!

Now, only Lin Feng could listen to their grievances!

……

At the waist of the Ninth Peak mountain.

Zhang Hu and Lin Feng sat on the edge of a cliff, discussing in hushed tones.

They came here because it was quiet and they could avoid Jiang Chen.

"I regret not listening to Senior Brother's words. I never imagined that Qingning Senior Sister would actually go mad!" Zhang Hu was extremely annoyed.

That day, he was truly frightened, and even now, the memory still terrified him.

He had seen mad people before, but never one as chilling as her!

"She almost buried you alive?" Lin Feng inquired.

"Not that, but something even more terrifying!"

Zhang Hu shuddered, "Qingning Senior Sister actually asked me to help her dig up graves! You didn't see her, but I saw her holding up the ashes and smiling. It was simply horrifying!"

"Ashes?"

Lin Feng's expression darkened, "So the ashes that covered me all night were from the grave you dug up with Qingning?"

"Uh…" Zhang Hu looked embarrassed.

He had only just recovered from the shock recently and was unaware of this incident.

"Please forgive me, Senior Brother. I was deceived by Qingning Senior Sister's appearance," he quickly explained.

Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded continuously, patting Zhang Hu's shoulder, "A confidant! It's not that we're too gullible. It's that Qingning's act was just too convincing!"

"Exactly."

Zhang Hu nodded, but his expression turned gloomy, "We don't know how long the Peak Master will be in seclusion. Now the Ninth Peak is in chaos, and we can only hide here…"

He added, "If the Fourth Senior Brother were here, he would definitely stand up for us!"

Lin Feng didn't like hearing this.

What, was he invisible?

"Don't worry, Jiang Chen won't be able to show off for much longer. A few days ago, he went to Elixir Peak and destroyed many elixir cauldrons. He's also been challenging others and beating up the true disciples of other peaks so much they're crying out in pain!" Lin Feng sneered.

"Hiss—"

Hearing this, Zhang Hu gasped.

He knew Jiang Chen was violent, but he didn't expect him to be this extreme!

Setting aside the Elixir Peak incident, being able to beat up all the true disciples of the other peaks was not something ordinary people could do!

"The Peak Master of Elixir Peak is not around, so probably no one will pursue it. The challenges issued by Eldest Senior Brother are within the rules, so he probably won't be severely punished," Zhang Hu sighed.

"That's why I'm waiting!"

"Waiting for what?"

"Wait for him to make a big mistake, then ask Master to come out of seclusion!"

"I see."

Zhang Hu suddenly understood.

The last time Jiang Chen made a big mistake, it was peeping at Jiang Lianyue bathing.

Jiang Chen always acted without restraint, and now with Xiao Hongyi in seclusion, he would sooner or later commit an equally grave error and be severely punished!

"But if the Peak Master protects him…" Zhang Hu hesitated to continue.

"Don't worry, with the master in seclusion, if things get out of hand, the Hall of Enforcement will be the first to be alerted! By then, Jiang Chen won't be able to escape!" Lin Feng appeared confident.

The Hall of Enforcement?

Zhang Hu frowned.

He indeed hoped that Jiang Chen would be severely punished, but if the Hall of Enforcement got involved, it would surely escalate to the Sect Master and the various Peak Masters, making Ninth Peak the laughingstock of others.

As the foremost disciple under the true disciple of Ninth Peak, this was not what he wanted to see.

"Sixth Senior Brother, this is not appropriate!"

Zhang Hu straightened his expression and said, "The Peak Master hates it when the Hall of Enforcement interferes with Ninth Peak's affairs. We cannot let personal grievances tarnish the reputation of Ninth Peak."

Hearing this, Lin Feng also became serious.

He was new to Ninth Peak and unaware of Xiao Hongyi's dislike for the Hall of Enforcement.

This beautiful master was fine in every way, just a bit odd, and he didn't want to be disliked because of this.

Now that he knew the Nine Abyss Soul Embryo was being used by Qingning and Lin Mubai, he was planning to curry more favor and then ask Xiao Hongyi to summon the Supreme Great Elder to help him snatch one.

But how to deal with Jiang Chen then?

Lin Feng pondered deeply.

He concluded that he lacked support!

Although Li Fadu was still kind to him, he was disliked by Xiao Hongyi, and the other high-ranking members of the Jiuyan Sect were ambiguous due to his 'Son of Destiny' status.

"Ah, if only Fourth Senior Brother was here," Zhang Hu lamented again.

Lin Feng was annoyed but also had a glint in his eye: "Do you know where Fourth Senior Brother went? Can we contact him and ask him to return to the sect as soon as possible?"

Zhang Hu shook his head.

Not just him, even Xiao Hongyi might not know Mu Kui's exact location without using the blood jade slip.

After all, Mu Kui's mission was to kill a sect traitor who had quietly destroyed his own blood slip and was fleeing everywhere.

The traitor's whereabouts were erratic, and the last sighting was near the Buddha Temple.

The influence of the Buddha Temple was vast, with temples scattered throughout, and any cultivator entering their territory would be forced to chant scriptures and recite Buddha's name!

With Mu Kui's honest and simple nature, he wouldn't be fooled into becoming a monk, but he was surely chanting in some temple right now!

Moreover, while not understanding a word!

"Let's wait and see. If all else fails, we'll go look for Mu Kui." After learning this, Lin Feng made a decision.

The same saying applied: he needed allies!

Li Fadu was temporarily unsuitable to be involved too deeply, and the other disciples of Ninth Peak were of no use, so now he could only pin his hopes on Mu Kui.

Of course, if Jiang Chen directly made a big mistake and angered Xiao Hongyi enough to leave seclusion, then this beautiful master would be his strongest ally.

"What are you two talking about?" Suddenly, a somewhat cute voice came from behind.

Hearing this, Lin Feng and Zhang Hu were startled and jumped.

Turning around, they indeed saw Xiaobai's huge tiger head.

After a search and seeing no sign of Jiang Chen, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Foolish tiger, what do you want?" Lin Feng said with a wary face.

"Nothing, Eldest Senior Brother asked me to gather information."

Xiaobai shook its head, then suddenly transformed, its tiger eyes turning red and breathing out white mist.

"Dare to call me a foolish tiger? You think I'm a sick cat when I don't show my claws?"

This startled both Lin Feng and Zhang Hu.

Xiaobai was a great demon comparable to a Heavenly Origin cultivator, and even if the two joined forces, they couldn't beat it!

"Fooli… Xiaobai! This is the Jiuyan Sect! If you dare to cause trouble, your demon core will be destroyed, and you'll be skinned and refined into medicine!" Lin Feng threatened.

Xiaobai, of course, knew this, so it was just trying to scare them.

But being threatened like this, it felt like it was losing face.

For a moment, it didn't know whether to leave or to submit, so it just bared its teeth and grimaced on the spot.

"Silly tiger, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's voice came from behind.
