Chapter 282
Wu left the valley and quickly reported the encounter with the cultivators to the Martial Sect. Afterwards, he returned to the Martial Sect without stopping, but he found that the atmosphere had clearly become much heavier.
She walked into the meeting hall and saw the grand master sitting high up in the middle of the hall with two elders sitting on either side of him. She couldn't help but shiver. It had been so many years since she had seen such a large lineup.
The fact that all the masters of the Martial Sect were gathered together meant that they were waiting for an important event. This time, it was obvious that they were waiting for her, which meant that the matter of the demon clan had garnered them such attention.
With a solemn expression, Wu Dai bowed to everyone and then stood in the middle of the hall like a javelin, waiting for their questions.
Martial Sect Leader was not very old, in his forties, and was in his prime. A pair of thick eyebrows was raised high, his expression was resolute, as if he was cutting with a knife, and gave off an imposing aura.
In addition, his skin was extremely beautiful and crystal clear. This was a level that many women yearned for even in their dreams.
However, in front of an expert, this was enough to show that his martial arts had reached a superb level. This was because this was the effect of washing the essence from the body.
Only those who had cultivated to the Great Master Stage would be able to cleanse their body of essence and marrow, but not everyone in the Great Master Stage was able to do so.
After a person had finished washing their marrow, the impurities in their body would be completely expelled, and the speed at which inner strength was circulated would be faster and they could store more inner strength.
Every time Wu Zhangkong saw the school head, he would not hide the admiration he felt. He did not know when he would be able to have the school head's cultivation.
"Wu, we have a rough understanding of your situation this time. However, there are still a lot of details that we need to verify with you." The Sect Master's voice was loud like a bell.
Wu bowed respectfully. "Yes, Sovereign."
If Tang Zheng saw her respectful appearance, he would definitely be shocked. He had always thought that this arrogant woman would not bow her head to anyone.
The Sect Leader nodded towards an elder below, the elder accepted the order and asked solemnly: "Wu, this time, did you manage to completely destroy the demon clan you encountered?"
"Yes, all the demon clan present have been annihilated." Wu said with certainty.
"Is that Demon God the same?"
"Yes, that mysterious man shot that arrow through the Demon God's body, causing his body to explode and turn into a bloody light that filled the sky." Martial described.
The Elder turned his head to look at the Sect Master. The Sect Master's expression darkened, he sighed and said, "Wu, do you know that Demon God is not dead yet?"
"How is it possible that he didn't die?" Wu was shocked. "I saw him get shot by an arrow with my own eyes. His body exploded and he died."
The Sect Leader shook his head and said, "Cultivators have many secret methods, especially when the opponent is a Demon God. How could he die so easily?"
He had not seen it with his own eyes, yet he had such confidence. Wu Zhangkong was surprised, but he did not dare to doubt the Sovereign's words. Since she was young, she had always believed in his words.
"Sect Master, doesn't that mean that this Demon God will appear again in the future? That way, there will be a bloody storm." Wu said in fear.
The Sect Master faintly sighed and said, "Even though this Demon God isn't dead, he definitely suffered heavy injuries. It won't be that easy for him to recover, so from today onwards, you must pay attention to the various intelligence reports."
An elder said: "Speaking of intelligence, Li Sect is the best intelligence system in this world. It would be better to send someone to the Li Sect to deepen the cooperation between them."
Li Sect has been in contact with the secular world for the past few years, so our intelligence has been perfect. Since cultivators have invaded, then we should join hands with the Li Sect to prevent any attacks.
"Then who should we send?"
The Sect Leader looked at Wu, and said: "Li Sect does not receive male guests, therefore, Wu, you should make another trip to Li Sect."
"Yes, Sovereign." Wu Dai received his orders.
"In addition, did the mysterious man find out what was going on?" The Sect Leader asked again.
The few elders all shook their heads, then looked towards Wu, Wu and said: "This mysterious man's cultivation is not low, and he also has that divine bow, as though it was a god's aid, and he is very different from demon clan."
"Hmph, what's different? Cultivators are the same as the small marten, so don't be fooled by him and speak up for him. " An elder said angrily.
The others all nodded their heads. "Martial artists are extremely cunning. Don't be fooled by them. If you meet them in the future, you must use all your strength to kill them."
"Yes sir!" Martial did not refute him anymore, but in his mind, he could not help but think of that ordinary face and his attitude towards demon clan.
He … It was as if he did not want to see his life ruined. It was not a disguise, but from the bottom of his heart.
"Are cultivators really as if the sect head and elders were all despicable and shameless people?"
This question appeared in her mind, causing her to jump in fright. In front of the Sect Leader and the Elders, how could she question them from the bottom of her heart?
She felt that this was a blasphemy to the Martial Sect and immediately drooped her head in shame.
"Also, go to the Li Sect and find out the identity of this mysterious person. Maybe the Li Sect will have some clues, and since this person is a cultivator with a strong cultivation, we cannot let him go." The grand master said.
Mentioning the identity of the mysterious man, Forbidden Grounds could not help but think of the jade tablet. His heart was moved, but just as he was about to say something, he looked at the few elders and swallowed his words.
The sect master noticed her expression and calmly said, "Alright, we will stop here for today. You elders, when you go back, send people to watch out for him, and the situation is getting worse and worse. There must have been more than one person demon clan that left behind that year, maybe there are other people who obtained the inheritance of the demon clan and were able to summon the demon clan to this world. We have to be on guard."
"Yes, grand master, this time we are really lucky. If we didn't find out that the terrorists might have cultivators supporting them and investigate further, then we might not have been able to find the terrorist's base and destroy their call to sacrifice." An elder sighed.
Wu Dong's heart skipped a beat. She was wondering why the Sovereign sent her to the military. He had already suspected that there was a terrorist organization related to cultivators and was only using the military to investigate.
However, it was definitely luck, but if Tang Zheng had not killed all of the leaders of the terrorist organizations in the courtyard, she would have known of this news earlier.
As a result, she did not have a single trace of good will towards Tang Zheng.
She never thought that if they had arrived at the valley earlier, the terrorists would have retaliated against them. Moreover, those demon clan would have taken the opportunity to flee, and then disappeared without a trace. They would have then carried out a summoning ceremony in another place, and that way, the Demon God would have been able to descend into this world without a sound and the situation would be even more serious than this.
After the elders left, the grand master walked towards the back of the meeting hall with Wu following closely behind him. When the two of them reached a garden at the back, the grand master stopped and looked at the beautiful garden and said, "You still have something to tell me?"
"Yes, Sect Leader. This time, I almost didn't make it back. The mysterious person obviously wanted to kill me, and he didn't hesitate to kill me."
"Oh." The sect head was slightly surprised, "Why did you come back alive?"
"Because I saw a jade pendant." Wu said after a moment of silence.
"What jade pendant, it can even save your life."
"A jade ornament with the word 'Martial' carved on it." Wu Dai finished speaking and stared at the Sovereign.
His entire body was startled. His aura, which was originally deep like a prison, suddenly changed. He turned around and looked towards Wu Jun. That pair of eyes seemed to be able to see through time and space to land on Wu's body.
Even though she was a precelestial martial artist, she felt as if she was being pressed down to the ground by this gaze. A trace of fear spread from the bottom of her heart.
She did not know why her words caused such a reaction from the sect head, but at that moment, she did not dare to speak. She could only lower her head.
After a while, the pressure disappeared. She slowly raised her head and found that the grand master's complexion had returned to normal. She asked, "Are you saying that the cultivator had that jade pendant?"
"Yes, it's hanging around his neck." Wu said.
"Describe him again."
Martial arts tried hard to recall every detail of the other party's appearance, and then tried to use words to restore this face.
The Sect Leader was silent, but his brows were locked in a tight frown.
"Master, this jade pendant seems to be very similar to the one you're wearing." Then, his gaze fell on the jade pendant on the Sect Leader's waist.
This jade pendant was the same size as Tang Zheng's, and the patterns on it were also exactly the same. It was clear that it came from the same sculptor, and the only difference was the word on it.
Martial had watched the jade pendant since he was young, and was able to recognize the jade pendant on Tang Zheng's neck with a single glance. If it wasn't for the word, the two jade pendants would be exactly the same.
The Sect Leader took off the jade pendant from his waist and stared at it. His gaze turned exceptionally deep, as if he was immersed in deep memories.
"Sect Leader, is that jade pendant also an object from the Martial Sect?" Wu asked carefully. Back then, she had insisted that Tang Zheng's jade pendant was the possession of the Martial Sect, and that it was a preconceived idea. But now, in front of the sect master, she did not dare be so arbitrary.
The sect master pondered for a long time before nodding her head heavily, "They are indeed the objects of the Martial Sect and are a pair with this jade pendant. One Martial Sect, Martial Sect's name was obtained because of these two jade pendants."
"What, Martial Sect got his name because of these two jade pendants?" Even if Martial Arts did not change in the face of a crisis, they were still extremely shocked by the news.
She had grown up in the Martial Sect but had never heard of this matter. There was actually such a thing about the origins of the Martial Sect, and more importantly, how did that cultivator obtain a jade pendant that was so important to the Martial Sect?
Countless questions arose in her heart, and she really wanted to ask the Sect Master clearly.
"What are you two whispering about here?" Suddenly, a voice rang out.
