The rooftop of the Tower of Martial Keeping.
Hong Changtian's face was ashen as he watched the chaotic scene unfold before him, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
"Who is it? Who did this?! "
Everyone stood in silence, their faces pale and chills running down their spines.
Their sect's elites were all gathered here, yet the enemy still managed to force their way in with a method that was close to a violent assault, and looted the entire Tower of Martial Keeping!
The entire sect's thousands of years worth of martial arts manuals were swept clean, not a single drop was left!
But that wasn't the most important thing. The most terrible thing was that they had so many people on their side, but from the beginning to the end, none of them had seen what the enemy looked like. They didn't even know which force or sect the enemy came from!
The frustration of having nowhere to vent was driving them mad.
"The enemy is invisible, there's no trace to follow …" The sect leader who guarded the Tower of Martial Keeping was especially dejected. He had been fighting all his life, only to suffer such a huge setback in his old age.
He could be considered the only person in Cangwu Union who had confronted the attacker head-on, but he did not even get a tiny bit of information from the attacker. This meant that the enemy had snatched the cultivation technique right under his nose when he was on full alert and escaped unscathed!
At that moment, the old man almost had the urge to commit suicide as an apology.
"Invisible? There's no trace to follow? "Hong Changtian's brows furrowed as he mumbled," Could it be … the Raiders of All But God? "
The Raiders of All But God's rampage on Swallow's Hill was within Cangwu Union's jurisdiction. As the sect leader of Cangwu Union, he was naturally privy to information that others did not.
For example, the Raiders of All But God would sometimes perform an extremely bizarre vanishing technique that could render them immune to all attacks …
"But it doesn't seem like it … The Raiders of All But God did not completely vanish like today …"
"Sect leader, what should we do? We have to deal with it! "
The others were burning with anxiety. Their top priority now was naturally to hunt down the enemy and retrieve the sect's manuals. Only then could they recoup their losses. Why was the sect leader in a daze?
"Of course we have to investigate, but to hunt them down? That's impossible! " Hong Changtian took a deep breath and said, "To be able to hide himself under Uncle-Master's repeated attacks and even rob the Tower of Martial Keeping clean, this person is no simple character."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just the fact that he was able to endure Martial Uncle's World Cage and still insist on taking away all the secret manuals shows how confident he is. Capturing him now is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Chasing after him will only be a waste of energy … "
Hong Changtian said, "Let's not do anything for now … Later, we'll send all our disciples out to check the movements of the surrounding sects. In addition, many of the stolen cultivation methods have obvious characteristics … We have to pay special attention to this point. Don't let go of any clues. "
"Also, the four people who went after the demonic cat today …" Hong Changtian's eyes flashed with anger. "How could they have fallen for the enemy's trap so easily? This is … unforgivable! I'll go collect a hundred Venomous Dragon Whips later! "
One hundred Venomous Dragon Whips!
Everyone sucked in a cold breath when they heard that.
The so-called Venomous Dragon Whips were whips made from mystical beast tendons, specifically used to whip and punish disciples who had broken the sect's rules. It was fine if it was just a whip, but the Venomous Dragon Whips were full of barbs. A single lash would tear off a large piece of skin and flesh. It was not a punishment that could be easily endured!
Not to mention that the victim's cultivation base had to be sealed during the punishment process, enduring it with only his physical body.
After a hundred Venomous Dragon Whips, the victim would be half-dead even if he did not die.
However, the sect leader's face was steely. This was indeed an unforgivable mistake. Even if the others wanted to, they dared not hastily plead for leniency.
This mistake was equivalent to losing the sect's foundation!
The entire Cangwu Union was silent, as silent as cicadas in winter.
"By the way, remember to pay attention to those new rising sects. They have a motive to commit the crime as well."
Hong Changtian's face was as cold as frost, his expression bleak. He sighed softly and said, "It has been two thousand and seven hundred years since Cangwu Union's founding ancestor finally obtained the Celestial Luck Banner … Now that three thousand years have passed, not only has our sect's status not improved, but we've also lost our foundation. How can I face the Ancestral Master when I reach the netherworld …"
Everyone's faces were gloomy like water, and their hearts were icy cold.
What the sect leader said was exactly what they were thinking.
Had Cangwu Union … reached its end?
"If we can't find these treasured tomes …" Hong Changtian sighed faintly, shaking his head and saying no more.
…
"Sect Leader Bing, Ma Xingyun and Yan Tang are back. They say they have something important to ask of you, Sect Leader. "
"Let them wait."
How could they be interested in meeting the disciples and listening to the so-called important matter at this time?
After giving a series of orders, Hong Changtian led the elders back to the sect's great hall.
Today's matter couldn't be leaked at least for a short period of time. Even the disciples of the sect had to strictly keep it a secret. Otherwise, the disciples of the sect would be in a state of panic, and the worst case scenario would be that the morale of the people would collapse before the battle even started. Before this competition, if the morale of the people was unstable, then it would truly be a disaster.
Outside.
Ma Xingyun and Yan Tang, who were waiting to be summoned, felt helpless.
In the past, when they had gone out and discovered a new sect, the sect leader would definitely receive them and reward them when they reported back. The sect would also immediately take action against them to eliminate the threat …
Why was it that this time, when a sect with great potential was established right under their noses, the sect's higher-ups were indifferent and indifferent to the matter?
Not even a senior from the sect with a higher status showed up, and they just ignored him?
What was going on?
This was obviously very important information!
Perhaps the two of them didn't even think that the reason their sect was in such bad luck was because the two of them had gone out and provoked a small sect … which led to this terrible consequence.
If Hong Changtian found out that the reason why his sect was robbed was because of these two men, causing the thief to target Cangwu Union, he would probably skin them alive on the spot!
A storm was still raging inside Cangwu Union.
After suppressing his temper for a long time, the sect leader finally erupted hysterically.
He did not want to lose his temper, but he really could not suppress it.
Today's incident had not only enraged him, but also pained him! What was wrong with his own sect? How could they fall for such an obvious trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain?
This was simply ridiculous!
Especially those few who were still crying out that they were innocent. This made the sect leader even angrier.
"Innocent …"
"Innocent? How are you innocent? Did you catch that kitten? "
"… No."
"Can you catch it?"
"… We can't."
"Why do you still chase if you can't? Don't you know the responsibility you bear? Do you feel that you have nothing better to do? "Hong Changtian felt like he was about to explode from anger.
"Let me ask you, don't you think it's strange that such a cat suddenly appeared in such an important place?"
"Let me ask you, this kitten, all of you find it cute and interesting … but have you ever thought that this demonic beast, which is obviously a pet, actually has an owner?"
"You're just going to chase the cat without thinking? Where are your brains? Fed to the dogs? How can you have the cheek to cry out that you're innocent? "
