Free Web NovelChapter 683: 766 Plot Against Chen Mo
Outer Sect, Suoxian Courtyard.
"What, Chen Mo and his group moved into the Inner Sect?" In the room, upon hearing his subordinate’s report, Song Jun stood up in shock and said, "He hasn’t even entered the Golden Core stage, how could he enter the Inner Sect?"
"I heard that kid Chen Mo got close to Elder Zuoqiu of the Inner Sect. In recent days, many Inner Sect disciples have seen Chen Mo coming and going from Elder Zuoqiu’s Merak Peak. Brother Song, do you think Chen Mo might have caught Elder Zuoqiu’s eye and become her disciple?" said an older disciple from the Outer Sect.
"Elder Zuoqiu?" Song Jun pondered for a moment, then looked shocked and said, "The Elder Zuoqiu you mentioned, is it Zuoqiu Yiren?"
"Exactly."
"How is that possible? He’s just a Blue Body, why would Elder Zuoqiu fancy him? It’s impossible; there must be some mistake." Song Jun couldn’t believe it.
After all, he always believed that regardless of Chen Mo’s current strength, he was an Orange Body, and Chen Mo was only a Blue Body. Over time, he would gradually surpass him.
But if Chen Mo were taken in as a disciple by Zuoqiu Yiren, with her help, and the support of powerful resources, it might even close the gap in their physique.
If that’s the case, then how could he mock him in the future...
...
Long Xiaoyao from Carefree Peak was equally surprised.
Given his status, naturally, upon his return, someone would inform him of the recent happenings outside.
Of course, he also learned that his younger brother was killed by a Blue Body disciple from the Outer Sect.
In front of others, he hid his anger well and ordered an investigation into Chen Mo.
In his view, Chen Mo daring to kill his brother must have some backing, otherwise, he wouldn’t have such courage.
Sure enough, the investigation revealed that Chen Mo had been frequently visiting Merak Peak in recent days.
Chen Mo, an Outer Sect disciple, could freely enter and exit the Inner Sect, and even Merak Peak.
Anyone could guess that Chen Mo and Zuoqiu Yiren’s relationship was definitely not ordinary.
Who is Zuoqiu Yiren? She is the youngest Inner Sect elder in the history of Shenxiao Sect and was a direct disciple of the previous generation.
Before Zhao Fujin came to Shenxiao Sect, Zuoqiu Yiren was always regarded as the most beautiful fairy in Shenxiao Sect.
After Zhao Fujin came, she didn’t take this title away, but the spotlight shifted to Zhao Fujin instead.
To the disciples, Zuoqiu Yiren is an unattainable existence, and since Zhao Fujin is still a disciple, compared to Zuoqiu Yiren, they feel Zhao Fujin is more approachable, so many disciples began to idolize Zhao Fujin. Additionally, Zuoqiu Yiren rarely appeared and didn’t take in disciples, so she gradually faded from the disciples’ view, receiving less attention.
But this doesn’t mean that Zuoqiu Yiren’s influence in the hearts of the disciples has diminished.
Moreover, among all the Inner Sect elders, Zuoqiu Yiren’s strength has always been a mystery.
"Brother Long, do you think Elder Zuoqiu might have taken Chen Mo as her disciple? There’s a rumor that if Elder Zuoqiu doesn’t take in a disciple this year, she’ll be removed from her position as an Inner Sect elder by the Sect." said the Inner Sect disciple standing to Long Xiaoyao’s left.
"If that’s truly the case, then avenging your brother would be troublesome." said the Inner Sect disciple standing to Long Xiaoyao’s right:
"With Elder Zuoqiu’s protection, it’s impossible to make a move at her Merak Peak."
Although the status and treatment of a direct disciple are, in some sense, higher than that of an Inner Sect elder, and just below the Sect Leader, the two Vice Sect Leaders, and the five Supreme Elders, in terms of strength, there’s still a gap.
Not to mention someone like Zuoqiu Yiren, who grew up from a direct disciple to become an Inner Sect elder.
"Junior Brother Liu, you’re confused. Even if that kid isn’t Elder Zuoqiu’s disciple or isn’t at Merak Peak, you still can’t make a move within the Sect. The Sect has a zero-tolerance policy for such actions." said the Inner Sect disciple standing to Long Xiaoyao’s left.
The Inner Sect disciple called Junior Brother Liu glared at him and said, "Then it seems Junior Brother Su has a solution."
These words made Long Xiaoyao look at him, saying, "Suzhou Ze, if you have a solution, just say it. I must avenge my brother, even if he truly becomes Elder Zuoqiu’s disciple."
The relationship between Long Xiaoyao and his brother Long Jie was very close; otherwise, Long Xiaoyao wouldn’t have indulged Long Jie like that.
Aside from their brotherly bond,
now almost the entire Shenxiao Sect knows his brother was killed by a disciple from the Outer Sect.
If he doesn’t seek revenge, his reputation would suffer greatly.
They would say he can’t even handle an Outer Sect disciple.
Suzhou Ze thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, all Outer Sect disciples have to go to the Divine Light Hall every month to receive and complete Sect missions. New Outer Sect disciples must also complete a Sect mission within three months. It’s been almost two months now, and Chen Mo and his group haven’t taken any missions, so we can start with a Sect mission."
"I thought it was something." Junior Brother Liu chuckled, then said, "You’ve already mentioned that it’s highly likely Chen Mo was taken in as a disciple by Elder Zuoqiu, and Elder Zuoqiu surely knows about his involvement with Brother Long’s brother. If he goes out to complete a mission, Elder Zuoqiu will definitely follow and protect him."
After all, no mentor would remain indifferent knowing there is a life-threatening danger when their disciple goes out.
Suzhou Ze’s face stiffened, and he glared at Junior Brother Liu.
Junior Brother Liu refused to concede.
"Is there no other way?" Long Xiaoyao furrowed his brow; indeed, if Zuoqiu Yiren accompanied them, even outside the Sect, they wouldn’t be able to make a move.
"Brother Long, do you think there might be a way to distract Elder Zuoqiu while that boy is out completing a mission, then make a move?" Suzhou Ze suggested.
"Distract her..."
To be honest, Long Xiaoyao’s understanding of Zuoqiu Yiren was superficial and he couldn’t think of any method to distract her.
"Brother Long, I have an idea. See if it’s feasible." Junior Brother Liu suddenly thought of a suggestion and spoke up.
"Brother Long, when Outer Sect disciples go out for missions, they usually go in groups of several or even a dozen. Although Elder Zuoqiu can accompany them, she cannot help them complete the mission. We can act by having disciples who accompany them make a move at a critical moment."
"Is this your plan?"
Before Long Xiaoyao could respond, Suzhou Ze laughed after hearing it: "Even the strongest Feng Hao among the Outer Sect disciples died at his hands. Among the Outer Sect disciples, who can match him? Having accompanying disciples make a move is quite the thought."
"Outer Sect disciples won’t do, but Inner Sect disciples can..." Junior Brother Liu smirked and said, "As I understand, Divine Light Hall offers some missions that require Outer Sect disciples and Inner Sect disciples to work together. We just need to bribe the relevant elder to assign such a joint mission to Chen Mo."
Long Xiaoyao’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
