Chapter 418: Chapter 286: Undercurrents Surge, Defensive Array, The Dao Resonates Again!
While Lu Qing was sorting out his own affairs, in a majestic building in the Holy City.
Many figures with powerful auras were gathering together.
And in their midst, several corpses were neatly laid out, covered with White Silk.
“Sect Leader Qiu, you summoned us in the dead of night, what is the matter?”
A muscular man, as tall as an arm’s length and knee-high, asked in a deep voice.
“Gentlemen, take a look at these corpses.”
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Sect Leader Qiu created a gust of wind, revealing the full view of the corpses by blowing away the White Silk covering them.
When everyone clearly saw the appearance of the corpses, they were all shaken.
Because those corpses were not intact.
Not only had their heads been severed, but three of them also had large holes in their chest.
The last corpse was even worse; the entire body was cleaved in two, incredibly gruesome.
However, everyone present was a well-known Martial Arts Expert of Central State, having seen all kinds of sights.
Though startled by the gruesome state of the corpses for a moment, they soon regained their composure.
“Sect Leader Qiu, who are these corpses, and what do they have to do with you calling us here?”
The tall man continued to ask.
“Have any of you noticed anything special about these corpses?” Sect Leader Qiu asked.
“Special? These corpses are just horrifically mutilated; what else is there to notice?”
The crowd continued to scrutinize the corpses.
However, they soon realized that these corpses were indeed out of the ordinary; they were all Innate Realm Experts.
And their Cultivation when alive might not necessarily have been weaker than those seated here.
At this point, everyone’s expression became grave.
The appearance of four Innate Realm Expert corpses all at once, and without any recollection of these people, revealed too much information.
However, the matter was not over yet. Seeing the somber expressions of the crowd, Sect Leader Qiu pointed at one of the corpses.
“Gentlemen, take another look. Is there anything special about the tattoo on this corpse?”
“Tattoo?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the corpse.
After seeing the tattoo that Sect Leader Qiu mentioned, some were baffled while others felt a sense of familiarity.
Those who felt familiar, after a moment of intense contemplation, suddenly shuddered and their eyes widened in disbelief.
“This tattoo, could it be…”
“It seems that Senior Yue has recognized the origin of this tattoo,”
Sect Leader Qiu said with a faint smile.
“Indeed, this tattoo is very similar to the one recorded in the Guiyuan Sect’s archives, but it can’t be possible. That Sect was long since uprooted and completely eradicated, wasn’t it?”
Senior Yue said with some disbelief.
“Clearly, that Sect was not entirely wiped out back then; remnants survived. And after centuries of recuperation, they have once again grown and strengthened,”
Sect Leader Qiu’s expression also became serious.
“Senior Yue, Sect Leader Qiu, what are you talking about? What does this tattoo have to do with a Sect?”
The tall man, feeling completely lost in their conversation, finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Wujian Building!”
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face said in a deep voice, “No mistake, this tattoo is the unique symbol of Wujian Building over three hundred years ago!”
Clearly, he too recognized the origin of the tattoo.
As soon as these words were said, many were outright shocked.
“What, Wujian Building?”
“Elder He, are you serious?”
“I remember now, this tattoo looks exactly like the mark recorded in my Sect’s archives!”
“But wasn’t Wujian Building eradicated hundreds of years ago?!”
Looking at everyone’s shocked faces, Sect Leader Qiu said:
“Gentlemen, there is no need to doubt. Brother Fang and I have already checked.
The Cultivation Technique practiced by these people is quite peculiar, and it matches exactly with what is recorded in our Sects’ confidential archives.
So these people must undoubtedly be the remnants of Wujian Building.”
“However, according to the archives, Wujian Building should have been exterminated by the Major Sects working together hundreds of years ago.
Where have they been hiding all these years?
And why did they suddenly die here? Who took action to slay them?”
Immediately, someone raised a series of questions.
“Regarding this, Brother Fang and I are also filled with doubts, which is why we invited you all here,” Sect Leader Qiu said, “I have a feeling that our ancestors might have been outplayed by someone back then…”
…
In the Holy City, people from the Major Sects were shocked to find that Wujian Building still had survivors.
On Holy Mountain, in an exquisite building, several red-robed monks were also gathered together.
“Brother Xuanming, we just received a message from our secret agent, Wujian Building’s operation has failed,” Xuan Nu said.
“I knew it, with just those wastes, it was bound to fail!”
An expression of anger appeared on the face of a burly monk.
Those wastes boasted extravagantly every day about how skilled their assassination techniques were.
Yet they couldn’t handle a mere youngster and old man.
Initially, Suspended Mountain should not have sheltered such wastes; they were utterly useless!
“Brother Xuanming, now that Wujian Building’s operation has failed, other Sects will probably soon learn that Wujian Building has not been completely wiped out.
What shall we do?” Xuan Nu asked.
Before Xuanming could speak, the burly monk continued:
“Hmph, so what if they know? Wujian Building’s emergence into the world again has nothing to do with us.”
