In the main hall, an old man and a woman were kneeling on the ground. There was a stretcher on the ground with a person lying on it.
No matter what, Junsheng is a steward of the Crimson Star Sect. He manages such a large business for the Crimson Star Sect. Even if he has not contributed much, he has put in a lot of effort. Now, he has actually been tortured to such a state by someone without any qualms. This is practically a slap in the face for the Crimson Star Sect. "
The woman was young, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was beautiful and had an outstanding temperament. At this moment, however, he was kneeling on the ground with a mournful expression and tears streaming down his face.
She only had one younger brother in her family, and the siblings grew up together. Now that he was in such a state, how could the elder sister not feel heartache?
There was a stretcher beside her, and the person on it was unrecognizable. His entire body was festering and covered in blisters. From time to time, he would let out a few hoarse cries of pain. If the people of the Crimson Star Sect had not seen Fan Junsheng in this state with their own eyes, no one would have believed that this was the suave and dandy young master from before.
Fan Junsheng had become like this a few days ago. That day, Fan Junsheng had led a group of Crimson Star Sect disciples out of the hospital. At first, nothing had happened. They all thought that Mo Wen had simply taught them a lesson.
But on the day he returned to the sect, everything changed. The members of the Crimson Star Sect who had been by Fan Junsheng's side died mysteriously one by one. No one knew what had happened and no one could find out why. Other than Fan Junsheng and Hu Jiangming, everyone else was dead.
Not only that, as soon as Fan Junsheng returned to the sect, he contracted a strange disease. This disease wouldn't kill him immediately, but it could make him wish he was dead. Fan Junsheng couldn't take it anymore and wanted to commit suicide several times, but he was always stopped by the people in the sect.
A sect as large as the Crimson Star Sect naturally had a few miracle physicians. They even had an alchemist. However, these people who were known as miracle physicians were helpless against Fan Junsheng's symptoms. They did not know where to start. They could not even find the cause.
"Old sect leader, I joined the Crimson Star Sect when I was 13 years old. I am now 97 years old. It can be said that I have been in the Crimson Star Sect my entire life. Now that I've been harmed, I regret it for the rest of my life. Old Sect Master, please seek justice for me. "
Hu Jiangming lowered his head, his eyes filled with despair. To a martial artist who had cultivated his entire life, having his cultivation crippled was the greatest torture. Right now, he no longer had any other thoughts. He only wanted to kill Mo Wen and take revenge.
"How did this happen?"
He was the previous sect leader of the Crimson Star Sect. His name was Huo Qize. People in the Jianghu called him Elder Huo of the Crimson Star. He was a famous figure in the ancient martial art world. He was one of the known Golden Core realm martial artists in the pugilistic world.
The Crimson Star Sect only had its current status because he was in charge of it. It could be said that it had deterred the ancient martial art world for decades.
"Ancestor, we have to start from Junsheng's marriage. Junsheng met a lady and arranged a marriage with her parents. However, on the eve of the wedding, the lady suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital …"
Fan Jingjing said with a distressed expression. She made it sound like Fan Junsheng had forced Shen Jing to marry Fan Junsheng because the two of them were in love. She made it sound like Shen Jing had committed suicide by poisoning herself because she had fallen ill accidentally. In the end, she made it sound like Mo Wen was a heinous villain. She was so unreasonable, arrogant, and despotic. In short, it was all because Mo Wen had gone too far.
"Father, that person has gone too far. He doesn't seem to care about the Crimson Star Sect at all," an elder standing on the left side of the meeting hall said.
In the conference hall, he stood at the very front. Clearly, his status was rather high. He was none other than the current sect leader of the Crimson Star Sect, Huo Shuangnian. He was the son of Huo Qize.
After knowing about this, he had flown into a rage on the spot. If Hu Jiangming had not persuaded him many times that the Dafang Sect sect leader was extremely powerful and that ordinary ancient martial art practitioners at the pinnacle of the Embryonic Breathing Realm were no match for him, he would have brought people to attack the Dafang Sect.
He did not believe that a mere sect in the series of three big Mountain ranges could have any powerful strong practitioners. Could it be that even he was no match for them?
"Elder Hu, is that person really so arrogant that he does not respect the Crimson Star Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qize slowly looked at Hu Jiangming. He had no intention of paying attention to Fan Jingjing. Clearly, he was not affected by her words.
Huo Qize had lived for more than a hundred years. He was old and wise. Naturally, he would not listen to one person's side of the story, especially when it came from a woman.
"Old sect leader, the young madam's words are exaggerated because she is grieving. However, the sect leader of the Dafang Sect is indeed arrogant. He does not respect the Crimson Star Sect at all and wantonly kills members of the Crimson Star Sect. If this person is not eliminated, the Crimson Star Sect's prestige for a hundred years will be lost. "
Hu Jiangming understood the temper of the old sect leader very well. Exaggerated words like Fan Jingjing's would not only be useless, but would also have the opposite effect. The old sect leader was not interested in those trivial matters of gratitude and grudges.
The old sect leader would only make a move if he escalated the matter to the point of humiliating the sect and challenging the prestige of the Crimson Star Sect. Compared to the sect leader, the old sect leader was clearly much steadier. He was not someone who could be easily fooled.
"Could it be that no one in the sect can treat Fan Junsheng's injuries?" Huo Qize looked at Fan Junsheng, who was lying on the ground like a piece of rotten flesh.
Could it be that with the ability of the Crimson Star Sect, no one could actually treat his illness?
"Reporting to the old sect leader, we have already tried our best. At the moment, we are unable to treat the young madam's brother's illness. This is definitely not an ordinary method. It was done by a medical expert. His medical skills are extremely high, and I am afraid he is even above us. "
An old man walked out from the crowd and said somewhat helplessly. He was known as a miracle physician in the Jianghu. His medical skills were not inferior to those of the old miracle physicians in the Medicine King Valley. He was the top doctor in the Crimson Star Sect. However, even he was at his wit's end when it came to Fan Junsheng's current situation. He could not even find a reason for the mysterious deaths of the members of the Crimson Star Sect.
The person who had done this was either someone who had mastered some strange secret skills or someone with superb medical skills.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qize nodded. There was a strange look in his eyes as he said, "The Dafang Sect's sect leader that you speak of is just a youth? He is only in his early twenties. "
"Old sect leader, that is indeed the case. That youth is probably only in his twenties, but his cultivation is extremely shocking. I guess that person is likely to have Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. If this person is not eliminated, he will be a huge hidden danger to the Crimson Star Sect. " Hu Jiangming took a deep breath. Now that he thought of that scene, he was still somewhat frightened. A youth could actually be so terrifying. It was like a nightmare.
"Impossible!"
"How is that possible? A 20-year-old youth with Golden Elixir Realm cultivation? Then why are we still practicing ancient martial arts? We might as well just go home and farm."
"There are only so many Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners in the martial arts circle. They can be counted on two hands. How could that youth be a Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner? Don't spout nonsense."
"Could it be that the Dafang Sect's sect leader has made you stupid? Are you hallucinating?"
…
Once Hu Jiangming said this, the conference hall was filled with gasps of surprise. The elders could not believe that a youth in his early twenties could have Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. Since they could appear in the conference hall, almost all of them were the upper echelons of the Crimson Star Sect. Even the lowest cultivation was in the Embryonic Breathing Realm. If they were outside, each of them would be top masters. How could they believe that a youth far surpassed them?
Hu Jiangming was extremely bitter. If he had not experienced it personally, he would not have believed such a thing either. He had encountered such an almost impossible situation. Could it be that this was his fate?
"Silence!"
Huo Qize frowned and shouted in a low voice. The conference hall instantly fell silent. Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. No one in the Crimson Star Sect dared to be afraid of the old sect leader's authority.
"In that case, the Dafang Sect's sect leader is indeed not simple. However, just because of this, he thinks that he can wantonly kill the members of the Crimson Star Sect. Does he not respect the Crimson Star Sect at all?"
Huo Qize's voice became colder and colder. In the end, the entire conference hall became cold. The temperature dropped by tens of degrees.
A look of joy appeared in Hu Jiangming's eyes. The old sect leader was angry. He would definitely not let this matter rest.
"The Crimson Star Sect has been in the martial arts circle for hundreds of years. Not just anyone can easily provoke them. Could it be that just because the Crimson Star Sect is used to being quiet and not as high-profile as the other sects, they think that just anyone can bully them? Send out a martial arts circle notice … "
…
A day later, the entire martial arts circle became lively. Many ancient martial art practitioners discussed this after their meals. This was all because of a piece of news that the Crimson Star Sect had spread.
That news spread at a frightening speed to the entire martial arts circle. From the Ten Great Sects to the small sects in the remote areas, almost everyone knew about it overnight.
After forty-seven years, the Crimson Star Sect had once again sent out a martial arts circle notice. The content was actually targeted at a sect that was not very famous in the martial arts circle.
The content of the notice was for the Dafang Sect's sect leader to head to the Crimson Star Sect within three days to offer a humble apology and die as an apology. Otherwise, the entire Dafang Sect would be annihilated.
The notice of annihilation was sent out by the Crimson Star Sect, which was ranked fourth among the Ten Great Sects. In an instant, the entire martial arts circle was shaken. Everyone was guessing how the Dafang Sect had offended the Crimson Star Sect to actually make such a big fuss.
Although the Dafang Sect, which was located in the series of three big Mountain ranges, was rather famous in the martial arts circle, there were many people who did not know about the Dafang Sect. But now, overnight, the Dafang Sect's reputation was almost comparable to that of the Ten Great Sects.
Everyone was guessing how the Dafang Sect would deal with the Crimson Star Sect's threat. Would the sect leader really go to the Crimson Star Sect to offer a humble apology and sacrifice his life in exchange for the safety of the Dafang Sect? More people were curious as to how the Dafang Sect had offended the Crimson Star Sect.
The entire martial arts circle was in an uproar. All sorts of news were flying around. Meanwhile, Mo Wen was living in his small courtyard, living a leisurely life.
It was only a day after the martial arts circle notice was sent out that Mo Wen received the news.
"Annihilate my entire sect?"
Mo Wen looked at the letter that the acting Dafang Sect sect leader, Wang Yinru, had sent. The corners of his mouth curled into an extremely cold smile. (To be continued.)
