“You’re going alone? That’s too dangerous!”

Chai Fei was somewhat shocked and quickly tried to dissuade him.

In the East Star Sect, there was more than one martial artist in the Earth Flower Realm, and its sect master Dong Yunkuang was even a powerful practitioner who had stepped into the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm!

Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Flowers, the Essence Qi Spirit had grown to its peak, such a practitioner could sense the slightest hint of an incoming attack like a cicada sensing the autumn breeze, allowing them to be prepared well in advance.

With their formidable Essence Qi Spirit, they could mobilize the spiritual energy of nature far beyond what those in the Earth Flower Realm could compare with, immensely powerful, one could say they stood as the strongest below a Five-Qi Grandmaster!

If Su Changkong went to Silver Moon Mountain alone and faced the assault of high-level experts like Dong Yunkuang, it was uncertain he would fare well!

Helian Yuan also said, “Dong Yunkuang and other experts are probably in Silver Moon Mountain now, we might as well gather our elite forces and encircle them at Silver Moon Mountain!”

The Spirit Taoist Sect had quite a few elite martial artists in the Qi-Blood Realm, these Qi-Blood realm martial artists, working together with a battle formation, were enough to match an Innate practitioner and exploit the advantage of numbers, it was not impossible for them to surround and kill the experts of East Star Sect.

But Su Changkong shook his head, “Gathering so many people makes a big target and is too inconvenient for action! If I go alone, should the situation become untenable, retreat is always an option.”

Su Changkong had no intention of getting others like Helian Yuan to gather disciples to go together.

With so many people, just assembling them would take a lot of time, and being such a big target, it’s possible they might be discovered before even reaching Silver Moon Mountain.

On the contrary, as Su Changkong would be going alone, his actions would be much more convenient, he could come and go freely, and if any unforeseen situations arose, he could simply retreat and no one would be able to stop him!

Having Helian Yuan and others accompany him would not only be of little help but a burden instead.

“Well… alright then.” Helian Yuan probably understood Su Changkong’s reasoning, he sighed and nodded slightly, “Elder Su, be very careful in your actions and prioritize your own safety above all!”

The other Innate Elders also had mixed feelings.

Su Changkong was merely a Guest Elder of the Spirit Taoist Sect, and even if the sect faced the threat of extinction, he was not obliged to risk his life.

However, now that the Spirit Taoist Sect had provoked the near first-rate East Star Sect, to sit idly by would mean that once East Star Sect learned of the deaths of people like Mu Yangwen, they would gather the full strength of their sect to attack the Spirit Taoist Sect.

Yet Su Changkong stood out to take initiative, hoping to strike preemptively and deal with Dong Yunkuang and the others before they could react, which was undoubtedly taking a massive risk!

“Yes, I understand.”

Su Changkong nodded, his actions were not entirely for the sake of the Spirit Taoist Sect.

For one, he was the one who had killed the Innate martial artists of East Star Sect; and secondly, Su Changkong would certainly not complain about having too much Innate Qi, as an enemy, his nature would inevitably lead him to deal with them, and incidentally, the spoil of war—a strand of Innate Qi from an Innate martial artist!

“I will take a trip and observe the situation first.”

Su Changkong told Helian Yuan and the others; he did not plan to delay and had to quickly make his way to Silver Moon Mountain.

If Dong Yunkuang and the others had already achieved their goal and left Silver Moon Mountain, then his plans for an ambush would be foiled!

“Take care on your journey!”

Qian Rui and the others also offered their well-wishes.

Su Changkong was known for his decisive and swift actions; after preparing himself, he set off towards Silver Moon Mountain.

“Our Spirit Taoist Sect actually has such a monster?” Chai Fei also marveled internally, he was considered a rare talent within the Spirit Taoist Sect, but compared to Su Changkong, he was on a completely different level.

Everyone also hoped in their hearts that Su Changkong could indeed eliminate the threat and return in one piece.

“I wonder what exactly is going on in Silver Moon Mountain, Chai Fei mentioned hearing roars, could it be that East Star Sect is hunting some wild beast?”

Su Changkong left Zhongling Mountain and headed for Silver Moon Mountain, curious about what in Silver Moon Mountain was worth such a major mobilization from East Star Sect.

Silver Moon Mountain, a mountain range without any towns nearby, rarely visited by humans, was located in a secluded area.

Su Changkong set out at night and traveled continuously, with his speed, crossing a distance of thousands of miles, and arrived at Silver Moon Mountain by dusk the next day.

At that moment, the horizon harbored a hint of dusk’s yellow glow, and the world was about to enter the night.

“I’ve arrived at Silver Moon Mountain… Let’s go in and check the situation.”

Su Changkong looked up at the large trees over thirty feet tall that were everywhere in sight; he did not hesitate and stepped into Silver Moon Mountain.

For this occasion, Su Changkong had meticulously prepared his appearance to be unremarkable. Carrying a bow and arrows on his back, a knife at his waist, and wearing ordinary clothes, he resembled a hunter going into the mountains.

Inside Silver Moon Mountain, it was very calm, but Su Changkong knew that the mountain was vast, and even if there were several hundred or a thousand people inside, they would be inconspicuous.

Su Changkong patrolled Silver Moon Mountain with patience, searching for the whereabouts of the East Star Sect martial artists, and at the same time, he was extremely sensitive to the flow of Spiritual Energy. Within a several-mile radius around him, within the visible range, the movement of Spiritual Energy couldn’t escape his eyes.

“Inside Silver Moon Mountain, the Spiritual Energy is indeed more plentiful than the outside world; no wonder there are so many towering trees.”

Su Changkong discovered that although the Spiritual Energy in Silver Moon Mountain was not as rich as places with excellent fengshui like Zhongling Mountain, it was still significantly stronger than the outside world, and this also accounted for the dense growth of trees in the mountain.

Su Changkong could see bird-shaped Spiritual Energy moving among the treetops, his vision akin to thermal imaging, with no obstacles blocking his sight.

“Target located!”

After less than an hour, Su Changkong found his target.
