The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 201: The Power of Lie

Dawn breaks and the sun rises from the sea in the east.

Normally at this time of year, Nasen Island would be somewhat lively.

After all, there is a market in the north, a paradise in the south, and the Nathan Palace. The population is not large, but it is not small either.

But now, Nason Island is quiet. Even though the darkness has been dispelled, the light has not brought back the laughter and joy of the past.

The cold corpses, the coagulated blood, and the messy ruins were exposed to the sky and earth as the sun rose.

The flying birds disappeared and the running beasts hid their tracks.

The vast forest was dead silent.

Zhang Wuling brought Ruan Feng to the Nasen Palace. Wang Ye and others had arrived earlier, and they all looked very miserable.

The Nathan guards were of course there too, oh—and Li Muxuan.

Seeing that Wang Ye and the others looked exhausted, bruised and in a miserable state, Zhang Wuling was very satisfied.

Of course, this kind of satisfaction must never be shown.

On the contrary, Zhang Wuling looked serious. He first nodded to Wang Ye and the others, and then came to the Nasen guards who had sad expressions.

"We've basically eliminated the enemy. How's the situation on your side, Sacred Tree..."

Joaquina sighed, "The sacred tree is... gone."

"How could this be!" Zhang Wuling was extremely shocked. "We have already stopped most of the Taiping Dao enemies. If I remember correctly, only three people broke through our defense line. How did three people destroy the sacred tree?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Nasen guards lowered their heads, with expressions of shame on their faces.

After all, what they said was right. There were indeed only three enemies, but with so many of them, they couldn't stop them.

"Ahem," Alfonso said awkwardly, "We stopped two, but missed one... He must have blown up the sacred tree!"

"No, that's not right!" Zhang Wuling waved his hand and frowned.

Joaquina asked, "Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Wuling was puzzled and said, "The Taiping Daoists clearly came here to seize the sacred tree. How could they possibly blow it up?"

Joaquina nodded. "We also find this question strange. It shouldn't be the case."

Alfonso said, "Perhaps they felt they couldn't take the sacred tree away, so they chose to destroy it. After all, there was only one person who got in at the time. Even if he got the sacred tree, how could he get it out?

"This is the only possibility..." Joaquina said helplessly.

"No, that's still not right!" Zhang Wuling retorted again.

Tang Wenlong and others on the side were a little dumbfounded. After all, they knew exactly what the sacred tree was.

Now that Nathanwei has no one to doubt them, why does their own captain still act like he must find out the "truth"?

Wang Ye lowered his head and held his forehead, not wanting to watch anymore. After all, he knew that his junior master was going to start fooling people again.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingyu was not on this mission, otherwise that guy’s world view would have been shattered again.

Zhuge Qing didn't show any expression, just a sullen look. He leaned weakly on Wang Ye's shoulder and looked seriously injured.

As for Xiao Zizai and the others... he was very calm.

Hearing Zhang Wuling's words, Joaquina asked curiously, "Did Mr. Zhang discover something?"

Zhang Wuling did not answer, but paced back and forth, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Muxuan was sitting on the windowsill and snorted coldly when he saw this.

Maybe because of what happened before, he felt uncomfortable whenever he saw this kid, and always felt that this kid was not a good person.

Suddenly, Zhang Wuling stopped and looked at Joaquina and said, "If I remember correctly, you were attacked once before last night?"

Joaquina nodded. "That's right."

"I wonder if you could tell me more about the attacker?"

Although Joaquina did not understand, he still told what he knew.

"Madara? Hedgehog hair..." Zhang Wuling turned to look at Wang Ye and the others and asked, "Has anyone seen this person?"

Lu Liang spread his hands and said, "I've never seen it."

"Me neither." Xiao Zizai said.

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they had never encountered 'Madara' or seen an enemy with a hedgehog head.

Zhang Wuling said in a deep voice, "This is strange. The Taiping Dao came with such a strong force and a large number of people. How could such a master disappear without a trace?"

Joaquina and the others were stunned, then when they realized what was happening, they also felt it was a little strange.

Yes, that guy named Madara is so powerful, how could he disappear?

Zhang Wuling waited for a while, observing the expressions of the Nasen guards. When they were almost done, he continued, "Everyone, I have a bad guess, but I don't know if it's correct."

Joaquina hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, please speak."

"Well, I suspect... there might have been more than one person at the sacred tree at the time. That guy named Madara must have taken advantage of our distraction and sneaked in beforehand. When their accomplices arrived, they immediately took action, took what they wanted, and finally destroyed the sacred tree."

Valkyrie Guna said, "That's not right. Isn't their target the sacred tree? Why do they want to destroy it in the end?"

Zhang Wuling said, "It's true that their target is the sacred tree, but... it may not be the entire tree. After all, think about it, the sacred tree has existed for so many years, it must be quite large. How troublesome would it be to move the entire tree?"

"So I guess they must have taken some important part from the sacred tree. As for the rest, it's best to destroy it."

After hearing Zhang Wuling's explanation, Joaquina and the others suddenly understood.

If you think about it carefully, it does seem to make sense.

And this would explain why the enemy destroyed the sacred tree.

It turns out that what they need is not the whole tree, but a part of the sacred tree!

"Damn Taipingdao thieves!" Valkyrie Guna cursed angrily.

"Alas..." Joaquina sighed again, "Forget it. What's the use of scolding me? The sacred tree is gone. Where will my future, Nathan, go..."

Alfonso and the others were silent, and they were also confused at the moment.

Maybe, we can only wait for the king to come back.

Zhang Wuling didn't say anything else. After all, all the plans had been completed. As for the future fate of the Nasen guards, he had no intention of interfering.

After all, these Nathan guards are all foreigners, and it is impossible for him to pack them up and bring them back to his country.

Barron is an exception, and on the surface, Barron is not working for the company, but just following him.

"Oh, right." Joaquina seemed to remember something. "We've captured a Taipingdao member. We don't know what to do with him."

"Where is it?" Zhang Wuling asked.

"He has some mental problems, so we have locked him up temporarily."

"Is that so? If you trust us, you can leave it to us."

"of course."

Seeing that Joaquina agreed, Zhang Wuling looked at Lu Liang and Wang Zhenqiu, signaling them to take the person away.

These Taipingdao people are still useful to him, so it would be a pity to kill them.
