“Everyone, please calm down!”
Looking at the uproar of the crowd, Yin Yijun frowned.
In just a short span of ten breaths, the severity of the matter had already exceeded his imagination.
In just a short period of time, the life lamps of the sect masters of the six great sects had all been extinguished!
This was obviously not as simple as a coincidence.
The demon race was becoming more and more rampant. As the leading force of the Eastern Wastelands, the sect masters’ life and death status were important yet unknown. This was the fearful feeling of having died before the battle had even begun.
One of the leaders of a small sect stood out and said.
“Great Elder Yin, we are here to discuss the great plan of exterminating the demon race. Can this matter still proceed?”
The people from the other powers also recovered slightly and cast their gazes towards Yin Yijun.
One had to know that if something happened to the six great sects, then their small powers that were left would have no chance of winning against the demon race.
Therefore, Yin Yijun’s attitude had become the thing they were most concerned about.
If these great sects declared that they would not care about the mountain, then they, as small soldiers, would be in danger.
“Why can’t we proceed? The matter of exterminating the demons is a concern of the entire Eastern Wastelands. It will definitely not be affected by other matters.”
Yin Yijun’s Killing Intent was fierce, and his eyes were filled with a trace of ruthlessness.
“Our Qingshui Sect will send out our disciples and elders three days later to participate in the operation to resist the demons. Please rest assured.”
The elders of the other five great sects also nodded slowly, promising that they would definitely send people down the mountain to assist. The various forces that received an definite reply also heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
They were really afraid that the Qingshui Sect and the other sects would be unable to take care of themselves and give up on the plan to help them resist the demons.
Although on the surface it was said to be a plan to exterminate the demon race, the main manpower came from these large sects. These smaller forces were only seeking the protection of a bigger tree.
A moment later, the group of forces retreated with satisfaction. The elders sent by the five great sects to be in charge, however, tacitly stayed behind.
Yin Yijun ordered his disciples to leave, and then his gaze swept over the elders of the various sects who stayed behind.
“Everyone, what do you think about the death of the sect masters?”
“What else can we think about? This must be what the demon race is talking about. I’ll go back and gather my disciples to fight to the death with the demon race!”
The elders of the Yan Yun Sect gritted their teeth and said this.
Hearing this, the other elders did not refute.
After the demon race came into being, they had always been rampant. They definitely wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the various sects and forces and make them leaderless.
However, if they could kill their sect masters in such a short time, then the current strength of the demons should not be underestimated.
There were a total of six people on this trip. Except for Zuo Daoren, the Sect Master of the Anwo Sect, the other sect masters were all powerhouses in the Tribulation Stage.
To be able to kill the sect masters before they could even use their voice transmission talismans, the speed of their actions was amazing!
This was not something that could be done by simple interception. It must have been a premeditated move!
While everyone was still thinking, the elder of the Selfless Sect who had been silent all this time suddenly threw out a bomb.
“Hehe! I don’t think this is just the work of the demon race!”
“Daoist Wuxin, what do you mean by this?”
Before they could figure out the key point, Daoist Wuxin sneered again.
“Have you forgotten why our sect master is here?”
“What else can it be? Isn’t he just going to the Blackheaven Sword Sect to do some business?”
“That’s right! Although sect leader doesn’t want to talk about it, we still know where he went.”
Yin Yijun’s gaze froze, and then he seemed to have thought of something.
“Daoist Wuxin, continue.”
“Since things have come to this, haven’t you all suspected the Blackheaven Sword Sect? Don’t forget whose territory our sect leader was in when he got into trouble.”
“What do you mean?”
Everyone contacted the sect and asked for the sect master’s last location.
After receiving the news, everyone felt a raging fire in their hearts.
According to the investigation, the place where the sect masters were in trouble happened to be in the territory of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect.
And all of these coincidences made people have to suspect that the deaths of the sect masters of the major sects had some sort of connection with the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect.
For some reason, Daoist Wuxin continued to fan the flames of their suspicion.
“The leaders of the various sects have always been abnormal during this trip, and none of us know the reason.”
“The leader of my Wuwo Sect left a superstitious letter before he left. I didn’t take it seriously at first, but now that something has happened, I’ll open it in front of everyone and see what’s right and wrong.”
As he spoke, Daoist Wuxin took out a sealed letter from his storage ring.
After opening it, a row of strong and powerful words appeared on the paper.
Only…
[ It’s rumored that the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect colluded with the demon race. The sect masters of each sect are here to investigate the truth of this matter.
If something happens to us, it will definitely be the doing of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect and the demon race.
I hope that the first elder will act cautiously and not fall into the trap of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect.
If you return without any problems, then I might be the one worrying too much!
— Selfless Sect, left behind by Daoist Zuo ]
Hiss!
The moment this letter was sent out, it undoubtedly dropped another bomb in the hearts of the crowd.
The doubts that had been in their hearts all this while also suddenly became clear.
It turned out that the reason why the sect leaders of the various sects went to the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect was actually to investigate the relationship between the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect and the Demon Race.
Daoist Zuo said that if something happened, it would definitely be the doing of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect. If nothing happened, then it would be a misunderstanding.
And now, the life lamps of the sect masters of the six greatest sects had all been extinguished.
Didn’t that mean that the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect was indeed colluding with the demon race and had even harmed the lives of the sect masters?!
“Damn it, I’ve already said that the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect is a bunch of spineless people. It must be that their dirty deal with the demon race was discovered by our sect masters, which was why they killed them.”
“I was wondering why the Blackheaven Sword Sect was the only one who was absent when we discussed the great plan to deal with the demon race!”
“If it were not for the letter left behind by Daoist Zuo, I’m afraid we would have been kept in the dark!”
“Blackheaven Sword Sect, you killed my sect master, we are irreconcilable enemies with you!”
Seeing that the situation had gone out of control for a moment, Yin Yijun swallowed the words that he was about to say.
Actually, it was sect master Yin Buping’s intention not to invite the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect over. According to Yin Buping’s intention, the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect had more important matters to attend to, so it was not that they did not come, but that they had not known about this matter at all.
However, since things had already come to this, he obviously had his own considerations regarding these matters.
How could it be such a coincidence? The others did not receive any sect master’s message, but it was the Daoist from the Selfless Sect alone who had received it.
Even if they wanted to check whether the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect was colluding with the demons, it was obviously not something that could not be crossed out. Moreover, they were worried that someone would leak the secret, so it was only exposed to those who could be trusted. There was no need to be so mysterious.
Moreover, such a secret operation had only one letter as a weak proof.
And this letter pointed all the blame at the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect. The pertinence was too obvious.
Were the people of Mysterious Sky Sword Sect arrogant? Or fools?
Yin Yijun had met Zhuang Changhe a few times before. It was obvious that he was not that kind of person.
Then again…
When Yin Yijun thought of this, his gaze swept towards the crowd.
At this moment, the elders of the various sects were all agitated and filled with righteous indignation. They chanted with determination :
“We will definitely trample on the mountain gate of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect and wipe out all of them and the demon race in one fell swoop!”
“We will definitely trample on the front gate of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect and wipe out all the demons in one go, leaving nothing behind
“We will definitely trample on the front gate of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect and wipe out all the demons in one go, leaving nothing behind!”
…
Perhaps it was just an illusion, but amidst the cheers, Daoist Wuxin revealed a faint smile.
