Chapter 483 The Prestige of Wuji Palace Drops by 1 cm
Lin Feng was worried about a counterattack from Wuji Palace, so he made some further preparations.
He ordered all the Martial God Hall branches within the Wuji Palace to hide in the shadows, leaving only the intelligence department to operate normally.
Most of the people in the Temple of Martial Gods were commoners who laid down their weapons and went home to farm, so no one could find them.
The next day, Wuji Palace reacted, sending down six Grandmasters at once.
After these six people came down, they realized just how serious the situation was.
Except for the mountain gate, the entire Wuji Palace is completely paralyzed.
The orders from Wuji Palace have stopped reaching beyond the mountain gates; all the high-ranking officials in various cities have disappeared, and all the subordinate sects have been slaughtered.
They can't even find their enemy now.
The Wuji Palace sent its disciples to regain control of several county cities. They found some information and determined that the three elders who had descended from Wuji Palace last time had most likely been killed.
The six elders who descended this time did not act rashly.
Only two of them were first-blooded grandmasters; the rest were ordinary grandmasters.
The three missing elders were all first-level Grandmasters.
To kill those three elders simultaneously, one must be at least a Grandmaster of the Third Blood, or three Grandmasters of the Second Blood, or possibly a group of Grandmasters of the First Blood.
This proves that the enemy's high-end military force is extremely powerful.
Of course, Wuji Palace is definitely stronger, but Wuji Palace's martial power is mainly concentrated in Taixu, and its foundation in the Divine Continent is not as strong as other sects.
Wuji Palace can also unite with other sects, but doing so will come at a huge cost, requiring them to pay a considerable amount of magic crystals to other sects.
Wuji Palace would not do this unless absolutely necessary.
The fact that Wuji Palace lost more than two million disciples this time proves that the enemy's mid-level military strength should not be underestimated, and there must be quite a few innate experts among them.
It is said that even demonic beasts participated in the battle, which further proves the enemy's formidable strength.
After discussion, the six elders of Wuji Palace decided to temporarily refrain from provoking the Martial God Temple.
Because the Martial God Temple already possesses the strength to breach the Wuji Palace's mountain gate, they don't care how many disciples die; the key concern is the potential loss of the core location where the Grandmaster's physical body is stored.
The main concern was that his life was in danger.
The six elders conveyed their thoughts to the elders and sect leader of Taixu.
After discussion and deliberation by the sect leader and the elders, it was decided to temporarily leave the Martial God Temple untouched.
Instruct them to safeguard the core territory, restore control over the various cities as soon as possible, and rebuild the subordinate sects.
Wuji Palace was not unwilling to retaliate; they planned to send people to investigate secretly.
Once we can determine who the leader of the Martial God Temple is, we'll send someone to behead him, and the Martial God Temple will collapse without a fight.
As for the core members of the Martial God Temple, they can be dealt with during the Great Tribulation of the Primordial Era.
Once the innate martial artists of the Martial God Hall enter the Great Void, they will be at the mercy of these major sects.
There was another reason why they didn't want to get entangled with the Temple of Martial God.
That is, the Blood Demon Ancestor has already released the news of the Treasure Appreciation Conference, in which there are several treasures that they covet.
Wuji Palace will definitely need to make some preparations for the Treasure Appreciation Conference, which will leave it with even less energy to deal with the Martial God Temple.
Three Grandmasters surnamed Mu also descended from the Star Pavilion, ranking fifth, seventh, and eighth respectively.
They originally planned to join forces with Wuji Palace to deal with the Martial God Temple.
As a result, there was no further news from Wuji Palace.
They learned upon inquiry that Wuji Palace had given up on dealing with the Martial God Temple.
The three of them began to discuss this matter that day.
The Eighth Elder said, "Wuji Palace is too cowardly. They were attacked by a small sect and they don't even dare to fight back."
The Fifth Elder added, "Wuji Palace is an ingrate. They shouldn't have let Chen Xiao support them. Now look what's happened, Chen Xiao died for nothing."
The Seventh Elder stroked his beard and said, "I think there's definitely something fishy about this."
The decision to send the Martial God Hall is not something the six Grandmasters who descended could make alone; they must have consulted the sect leader of Taixu beforehand.
This decision must have been made by the head of the Wuji Palace.
"Oh, so even the sect leader of Wuji Palace has chosen to back down?"
The Seventh Elder nodded. "That must be it."
There's something fishy going on here; we need to send someone to investigate.
Two days later, Star Pavilion found some information.
The three elders gathered together again to discuss the matter.
The Eighth Elder said, "I didn't expect Wuji Palace to suffer such a great loss this time. Not only were more than two million martial artists wiped out, but three First Blood Grandmasters also died."
The Fifth Elder said, "Wuji Palace is shameless. They kept the news so tightly under wraps. If we brothers hadn't taken action ourselves, we might have been deceived by Wuji Palace. Is Wuji Palace trying to scam our Star Pavilion?"
Not only these three grandmasters, but Wuji Palace had already lost no fewer than five grandmasters before this.
I really don't know which sect besides our major sects has such strength.
The Seventh Elder narrowed his eyes and said, "Most importantly, all those Grandmasters perished, their bodies and souls did not return to the void."
After the Seventh Elder finished speaking, all three of them felt a chill run through their bodies.
Of the three of them, only the Fifth Elder was a First-Blood Grandmaster; the other two were ordinary Grandmasters.
If they were to encounter that force, they would all be wiped out.
Bang! The Eighth Elder slammed his hand on the table and said, "The Wuji Palace didn't even tell us such important news."
They're trying to make us act blindly and get ourselves into trouble.
We can't let Wuji Palace get away with this so easily.
"Seventh brother, what do you suggest we do?"
Of the three, the Seventh Elder was the most resourceful.
After thinking for a while, the Seventh Elder said, "Let's first tell the sect leader and elders of Taixu about this."
Then spread the word about this incident at Wuji Palace, making them lose face completely.
As time went by, news of Wuji Palace's defeat by the Martial God Temple spread, and even ordinary martial artists in the Jianghu knew about it.
The teahouses and restaurants were filled with martial artists discussing this matter.
"Have you heard? Wuji Palace was almost destroyed by the Martial God Hall."
"I've heard that the top experts of Wuji Palace are being killed wave after wave by the Martial God Hall, and countless ordinary disciples have also died."
"The key point is that after this happened, Wuji Palace didn't dare to utter a single word."
"I heard that the team sent by the Star Pavilion to support the Wuji Palace was also completely wiped out."
Moreover, Wuji Palace didn't even give an explanation, nor did it share any information with Xingchen Pavilion.
They wanted to pit the Star Pavilion against the Martial God Temple, drawing trouble to that side.
"Wuji Palace is acting so unethically. Not only are they weak, but they've also betrayed their allies. I think Wuji Palace should be removed from the list of the four great righteous sects."
"The fourth largest sect in China should be changed to the Martial God Temple."
I've heard that most members of the Martial God Temple are from the lower classes, and they're especially kind to ordinary people.
After the news spread, Wuji Palace's reputation plummeted.
In the past, when Wuji Palace recruited new disciples, the line was incredibly long.
During this period, we haven't even been able to recruit enough new disciples.
I heard that millions of Wuji Palace disciples have died, so many martial artists in the martial arts world dare not join Wuji Palace anymore.
Learning from the example of Wuji Palace, the Sword Sect, Star Pavilion, and Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect all chose to turn a blind eye to the Martial God Hall.
Lin Feng was quite pleased to see this situation; the battle had not been fought in vain.
For a long time, the Temple of Martial Gods could develop freely.
Lin Feng planned to have his Blood Sea clone stay on the righteous path for another half a month. If nothing unexpected happened, he would return to the Blood Demon Sect after half a month and lend the Blood Soul Mace to the Blood Demon Ancestor.
Lin Feng planned to have a good talk with the Blood Demon Ancestor.
The Blood Demon Ancestor is about to do something big, so I will definitely do my best to help.
