C11 Enigma
Listening to the farmer's words, Wuyou remembered one word, 'Devil Sect'. He had never understood much about the affairs of the outside world in Wudang Mountain, so what kind of gang was this Devil Sect?
Speaking of the Devil Sect, the uncle lowered his voice again, as if he was afraid that other people would hear. According to him, the Devil Sect was a very evil sect.
It was said that for some reason, the Devil Sect hated the righteous sects and schools in the martial world. Previously, it was just a small dispute, but this year, it had become more and more intense.
Moreover, there were rumors in the Jianghu that the Devil Sect had sent out letters of challenge to all the big gates of the Jianghu to destroy them one by one. A few days ago, it was Nan Shaolin's turn to be silenced, and now it was Wu Dang's turn.
Listening to his uncle's words, Wuyou began to wonder who exactly this Devil Sect was, to have the guts to challenge all the other sects.
Now that he knew that the killer belonged to the Devil Sect, he naturally knew that his master also knew. But why didn't his master inform the world of this matter and have everyone in the world deal with the Devil Sect instead of hiding this matter?
When he returned to Wu Dang, it wasn't too late yet, so he decided to find his master and ask him who the devil sect member was and why he still had to hide this matter from Wu Dang.
Thus, Wuyou went to the Free and Unrestrained Child's room and knocked on the door. However, after waiting for a long time, no one answered or came to open the door. Wuyou almost thought that the Grand Master was not inside.
Just as Wuyou was about to turn around and leave, the room's door suddenly opened. The one who opened the door was an uncle-master, then he let Wuyou in. Only after entering did he realize that the six uncles and Grand Masters were all inside, as if discussing something.
Then, he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to come and ask about the Devil Sect, and he didn't know if he should go out or come in. At this time, he saw his Grand Master beckoning him, so he went over immediately.
When the carefree child asked Wu You if he had gone down the mountain, Wu You was shocked. How did the Grand Master know he had gone down the mountain? He had thought that he had done it unbeknownst to anyone.
This matter let Wuyou once again know how powerful his Grand Master was. Wuyou thought that it seemed better for him to not show off in front of his Grand Master with that little bit of intelligence of his.
Seeing that Wuyou had stopped talking and just kept his head down, the man said, "What did you do down the mountain?" There was no need to hide it from the Grand Master anymore, so he told the Grand Master and the other Martial uncles what he had just heard at the foot of the mountain.
After speaking, Wuyou asked, "Grand Master, where exactly did that Devil Sect come from? Is it really that powerful?" When the Free and Unrestrained Child and his disciples heard this, they didn't say anything.
Although the Devil Sect and the other large sects had some conflicts over the past dozen years, they had never provoked the Wudang Sect. The wanderer thought that it was because of Qing Feng and Nangong Bi Ru.
Naturally, the Devil Sect would not provoke the Wudang Sect, and the Wudang Sect would never find trouble with the Devil Sect. The carefree child had once given the order that as long as it was a matter concerning the Devil Sect, no one was to interfere.
The major sects had already started to take action, and they would not sit still and wait for death to come. Just based on the grudges between the major sects and the Devil Sect, even if the Devil Sect did not send a challenge letter to them, they would still take the initiative to attack them.
The Free and Unrestrained Child didn't know why the Devil Sect, which had always been at peace with the Wudang Faction, would suddenly attack their people? The unbridled son had seen Nangong Jue before and felt that he would not find trouble with the other sects for no reason. Thus, there must be a hidden story behind all of this.
Before things were made clear, it was best for the Wudang Sect not to interfere, and they absolutely could not spread the news of the ambush this time. If word of this got out, all the major sects of the martial arts world would use this as an excuse to let Wudang send people to fight against the Devil Sect.
After all, Wuyou was the grandson of the Devil Sect's leader. If this matter became big, it was hard to ensure that the people of the world would not mention the matter from eighteen years ago. If Wuyou heard about that matter, then the secret that he had been guarding for eighteen years would disappear.
The unrestrained brat thought that this was not Nangong Jue's way of doing things. Could it be that something happened to the Devil Sect? Was there someone controlling the Devil Sect from behind? If that was really the case, then where was the child that Nangong Jue had taken away that year, the younger brother of Wuyou? Are you safe?
The carefree child recalled the words that the Chen Qingfeng couple had said before they had entrusted their two children to him. If anything happened to these two children, how could he face the Chen Qingfeng couple?
It had been difficult for him to hide this secret for eighteen years, and Worryfree had become a big boy. From beginning to end, Chen Qingfeng's shadow could be seen in his body, and when the carefree son faced his question, he did not know how to answer. He did not want to tell the truth, did not want to cause a bloody scene in the martial arts world.
The reason why Wuyou was able to live without worries for eighteen years was because he did not know the truth. The carefree child did not know what would happen once he knew the truth.
Worryfree saw that the Grand Master didn't speak, so he looked at the six Martial uncles. However, the six of them seemed to be avoiding Worryfree's question. Seeing this, he no longer hesitated.
He directly asked his teacher, "What exactly is the background of the Devil Sect?" Why did he have to kill these innocent fellow brothers and sisters for no reason at all? And why did Wu Dang have to swallow his anger? Don't tell the world about the evil deeds of the Devil Sect?
Facing Wuyou's question, the little guy let out a sigh. He called Wuyou over and solemnly told him that this matter could never be spread out. Furthermore, this matter was not simple, it was very likely that it was not done by the Devil Sect.
When Wuyou heard the Free and Unrestrained Child say that they didn't do it for the Devil Sect, it became strange. Those people left a message saying that they were from the Devil Sect, how could it be false? But then he thought, if he killed someone, he wouldn't be stupid enough to leave his name.
No matter how arrogant the Devil Sect was, they would not be stupid enough to provoke the other major sects to attack the Devil Sect together. This was no different from suicide.
Seeing that Wuyou didn't want to talk anymore, the carefree person also didn't want him to know too much, telling him to stop worrying about matters related to the Devil Sect in the future. Wuyou wanted to ask something else, but the Third Martial Aunt said: "Wuyou, don't talk anymore, the Martial Uncles and Grand Master still have things to discuss, you should go back to your room to rest first."
Hearing this, Wuyou had no choice but to leave his master's room. However, he still had some worries in his heart. For some reason, he felt that his master was hiding something from him.
After Wu You left, Xiao Yunzi and his six disciples were still discussing this matter. One of them said, "If this goes on, Wu You will find out the truth sooner or later. It would be better to just tell him." The carefree child shook his head. Unless it was a last resort, he wouldn't let Wuyou get involved in this matter.
The disciples saw that the Free and Unrestrained Child's attitude was very firm and felt that it was useless to say anything more. In the end, the result of the discussion was that they first looked at the movements of the various sects and devil sects in the martial arts world before making a decision. However, he absolutely could not allow Wuyou to have any contact with the Devil Sect.
Just as such a thing happened in the Wudang Sect, the Devil Sect also heard about this news. Nangong Jue was at the Devil Sect's headquarters. He was facing a bunch of useless subordinates below him and was infuriated.
The Devil Sect had been framed again and again by people. A few days ago, they had annihilated Nan Shaolin, and accused the Devil Sect of being evil, and now they had attacked Wu Dang's disciples, and pushed them to the Devil Sect. Although there was no response from Wu Dang, Nangong Jue already felt that he had completely lost face.
He was a dignified Devil Sect's leader, and now he was framed by someone. He didn't even know who the other person was or what his name was. His group of subordinates went out every day to investigate and find clues, but there was no news of him.
Right now, not only did the Devil Sect attract attention from outside, they also stirred up trouble, and inside, there were also many sneak attacks. Right now, the Devil Sect was in a situation of internal and external troubles. They couldn't even raise their heads when being suppressed by the enemy standing in the dark.
Could this not make Nan Gong Jue angry? Moreover, Heaven's Inquisition did not discover anything new. It seemed like this Palace Master was quite the character to cause such a huge ruckus in the martial arts world without his appearance.
No matter who this Palace Master was, no matter what enmity he had with the Devil Sect, or even what enmity he had with Nangong Jue … He had achieved his goal. He wanted the Devil Sect to become enemies with everyone, and he wanted to destroy the Devil Sect with the help of others.
When Nangong Jue thought of this, he became even angrier. He liked to face his opponent in a fair and square battle. No matter how weak he was, he would not do something like shooting a cold arrow behind his back.
Although he loathed these kinds of petty tricks, he had no choice but to admit that this enemy standing in the dark was a powerful character. This method wasn't something that could be thought of by everyone.
Regardless of who he was, his actions had caused the Devil Sect to suffer a lot of infamy and also caused them to suffer a lot of humiliation. This was a hatred that they must take revenge on, no matter the cost, Nangong Jue would not let the Devil Sect disappear just like that.
Heaven's Inquisition had been keeping watch at the inn all this time, but Ling'er was a girl who could not stay still. She sat and paced back and forth, but she never quieted down. She kept talking to Heaven's Inquisition, staring at the entrance of the inn.
From this point of view, the inn returned to its original appearance. Heaven's Inquisition had been thinking of the scene he saw in the inn the other day. From the conversation between the people from the Western Regions and the white-haired man, there must be some unspeakable secrets between them.
But what secret was it that had to do with the Devil Sect? None of this was known. After that, Heaven's Inquisition wanted to sneak into the inn once more, but when he went back, he found that he could no longer enter.
Heaven's Inquisition had been searching outside the inn for a long time, but still could not find a way to break through. He suspected that his previous mission had been exposed, and the other party had increased their defenses. Otherwise, how could there be such a huge difference between this time and last time?
No matter what, Heaven's Inquisition was not going to go back these few days to investigate. Even if his whereabouts were not exposed, it wouldn't be easy to go back.
Because from his observations these few days, this inn did not seem to be the headquarters of this organization. This was because Heaven's Inquisition had been observing this place for the past few days, but it seemed to have become a transition station.
Every day, many people would come to this inn, but some people could go in, but others could not go in. Many people left every day, but those people from the Western Regions never left.
There was nothing special about their presence here. Heaven's Inquisition felt as if they were waiting for someone, and recalled the conversation they had heard that day.
If they guessed correctly, these people would be sent to this place like they said, but why would they come here?
Heaven's Inquisition didn't know who the Palace Lord in the white-haired man was, nor did he know when he would appear, but he felt that once that group of people from the Western Regions arrived, they might be able to find that Palace Lord.
Heaven's Inquisition was a quiet person. He could sit in front of the window and stare at the inn across from them all day long, but that didn't work for Ling'er. She had nothing to sit for, and Heaven's Inquisition wouldn't chat with her.
Therefore, she could only take a walk here and take a look there. Heaven's Inquisition couldn't go away, so she went out to play by herself. That afternoon, she went out for a walk by herself.
By chance, she bumped into a group of people from the Western Regions. Ringel knew that their whereabouts had something to do with the Devil Sect, so she didn't rush to leave. She turned around and pretended to look at the little things on the street.
However, she still kept her eyes on that group of people out of the corner of her eyes. It would be great if she could discover something, but this group of people only had nothing special to do.
Just as Ling'er was about to leave, she saw that this group of people seemed to have seen something. The big guy said something that Ling'er didn't understand, but she felt that it was definitely not a good thing.
When she turned around, she found that the group of people from the Western Regions was facing a group of people. Ling'er tiptoed and saw that they were facing a group of unknown gangs.
However, the group of people in front of them did not seem to have any malicious intentions. Seeing these people from the Western Regions blocking their path with a very impolite expression, the person in front of them cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, is there anything?"
Hearing this, the group of people from the Western Regions laughed. They wanted to fight with them, but as soon as Ling'er noticed that something was wrong, she immediately went to the inn to call out Heaven's Inquisition.
The two of them watched from afar and did not approach. Heaven's Inquisition saw that these people were all dressed in the same uniform, and each of them had a sword in their hands. It was obvious which sect these people came from.
Right now, they were fighting one-on-one. It was the giant from the Western Regions and the one who had spoken just now. After a few moves, Heaven's Inquisition could tell that the giant from the Western Regions was no match for the middle-aged man.
It was because his disciple had brute force, but because her body was too tall, her reaction wasn't very flexible. However, the middle-aged man only performed a few simple defensive movements and didn't attack.
During the fight, they had been talking about whether there was some misunderstanding. It was obvious that they did not provoke this group of barbarians from the Western Regions.
As expected, after a few moves, the big guy gradually ran out of energy and was taken down by the middle-aged man.
Even at this point, the middle-aged man was still very polite. He controlled the big bloke and said to the other people in the Western Regions, "We are Wu Dang's disciples. We have just come to this place and offended you."
Hearing his words, those people from the Western Regions seemed to be unconvinced. However, they could not help but think that this person's martial arts were too powerful. Perhaps they did not want him to harm the big man in their hands, so they did not dare to step forward.
When the middle-aged man saw that these people had stopped talking, he released the big bloke in his hand and cupped his hands. He said that he had offended them and was about to leave. He was one of the Seven Gentlemen of the Wu Dang, Lu Changding.
There were still some people from the Western Regions who were not convinced. Some of them were about to rush forward but were stopped by their leader. He asked them if they could understand the language of the Western Regions and left with his men.
Seeing that Wu Dang's men had also left, Tian Wen and Ling'er thought to themselves, So these are Wu Dang's men. Judging from this person's martial arts skills and character, he should be one of Wu Dang's Seven Noble Masters.
Although the title of "Wu Dang Seven Noble" had not been mentioned for a long time, but the six disciples under the Sect Leader, Wu Dengzi, were still respected by many people in the Jianghu.
