CHAPTER 1075: CHAPTER 1075: ACTUALLY BULLIED

In this great hall, all the top members of the Medicine King Valley were present, including some high-ranking true disciples and elders. When the theft of the Medicine Pavilion occurred, Yao Qiantu had quickly summoned them here.

"Our Medicine King Valley is a renowned martial arts sanctuary, yet now its precious herbs have been stolen!"

Yao Qiantu declared with a gloomy expression: "And those who pursued the thief were instead defeated, and they have yet to recover."

"Who among you can give me an explanation?"

Many of the high-ranking members were trembling with fear. Yao Qiantu held the utmost authority in the Medicine King Valley.

"Reporting to the Valley Master."

At this moment, an elder from the Medicine King Valley stood up, "I just looked into this matter specifically, and it seems to be somewhat related to the true disciple Wang Chongyang and the inner sect disciple Wang Zhong."

"Bring them here!" Yao Qiantu commanded with a wave of his hand.

Immediately, several people from the Medicine King Valley brought Wang Zhong and Wang Chongyang into the solemn and imposing great hall.

At this moment, Wang Zhong had his arms severed, looking desolate and miserable, and from now on, he would no longer be able to make progress in martial arts.

He was utterly dejected, and even when brought into this hall, facing the scrutiny of these many important figures, he looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

Wang Chongyang was slightly better, but his tongue had been crushed and now he was completely mute.

Both of them were in terrible condition.

Yao Qiantu coldly inquired: "I heard you know the details of the Medicine Pavilion theft, explain it to me clearly!"

Though Wang Chongyang had become mute, upon hearing this, he furiously waved his arms and cried out a couple of times.

Wang Zhong’s eyes flashed with a hint of malice, "It must have been the work of the Evil God!"

Yao Qiantu calmly asked: "What reason do you have?"

Wang Zhong knew that, by himself, seeking revenge against the Evil God was nearly impossible. Only by rallying the entire Medicine King Valley, utilizing the power of the martial arts sanctuary, could there be a chance.

So, he exaggerated: "Sky Net has recently become a rising and aggressive force. They shattered the sect of the Hushan Sect, obliterated the Demon Shield Bureau, and now their strength has peaked, becoming extremely arrogant and overconfident!"

"This time, Long Qie came to our Medicine King Valley to seek a remedy, a Thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, to heal someone in their Sky Net, but his attitude was extremely arrogant! Therefore, my father ignored him."

"Even so, we still treated him with hospitality."

"But in the end, Long Qie was so humiliated and infuriated that he broke into my father’s courtyard, forcibly demanding his consent. Moreover, the Evil God also arrived at this time, trying to use his overwhelming strength to make us submit."

"Of course, we did not submit, and as a result, we were beaten into this state. They then left arrogantly, and later that night, the Medicine Pavilion was robbed. If it wasn’t the Evil God, who else could it be?"

In the great hall, after hearing Wang Zhong’s account, many of the high-ranking members angrily pounded the table.

"Outrageous!"

"Truly too arrogant!"

"Does this Evil God really not know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth?"

Numerous true disciples and elders had eyes that turned crimson. They were proud of being a martial arts sanctuary and looked down upon everything in the secular world with an aloof attitude.

And now, to be humiliated by an outsider?

How could they tolerate this!

"Valley Master, give the order. This Evil God is utterly detestable, he has shown no regard for our Medicine King Valley, how outrageous! Order us to lead an army and obliterate Sky Net," immediately one elder stood up, his eyes red as he spoke.

He was among the more hot-tempered elders in the Medicine King Valley.

But Yao Qiantu remained silent.

His eyes held a deep gaze, and no one could discern what he was thinking at that moment.

Seeing Yao Qiantu’s silence, everyone hesitated to speak, even that fiery-tempered elder eventually sat down.

"Call those who pursued the thieves last night to come to me," Yao Qiantu finally said.

"Understood." Immediately, someone left to carry out the order.

The crowd looked surprised, but they thought that starting a war with Sky Net wasn’t a trivial matter, and decisions should only be made after confirmation.

Soon, some true disciples were brought up.

"Describe in detail how Huo Yijian fought with those two thieves," Yao Qiantu said slowly.

These true disciples weren’t of very high rank, and they seldom encountered such a gathering of prominent figures, thus they were somewhat afraid.

However, since Yao Qiantu had spoken, they dared not refuse to answer. Immediately, one of them stammered, "Re... reporting to the Valley Master."

"That night, we took a shortcut and intercepted them at a mountain pass. Initially, a masked man in black at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm fought with us. Although he was just at the early Grandmaster stage, he managed to withstand several moves from Senior Brother Huo Yijian’s attacks."

"Finally, another person struck. He was incredibly fast; we didn’t see clearly and he defeated Senior Brother Huo Yijian with just one move! That kind of strength was astounding."

Upon hearing this, an elder angrily said: "Now there is no doubt! Those two must be Long Qie and Xiao Zheng. Long Qie is a master in the Grandmaster Realm, while the Evil God has already stepped into the Martial Saint realm. Only a Martial Saint can easily defeat Huo Yijian!"

Another elder said hesitantly: "But we have no evidence. They left no trace at the scene. Starting a war with Sky Net without proof seems too rash."

Everyone reluctantly admitted that Sky Net had now become a pivotal force!

Even though they were a martial arts sanctuary, they had to weigh the decision carefully before going to war against such a power.

Several elders and true disciples began to argue intensely.

Yao Qiantu still remained silent.

He was pondering.

By now, he was certain that it was indeed the Evil God and his associates.

Moreover, Yao Qiantu discerned the lies within Wang Zhong’s words. He suspected that the conflict between Wang Zhong and Long Qie likely led to the subsequent events.

Though he was angry with Wang Zhong, he was even more outraged by Xiao Zheng, "Humph, we, the great Medicine King Valley, a martial arts sanctuary, are only meant to intimidate others, when has it become others’ turn to intimidate us?"

A cold, deep gleam flashed in Yao Qiantu’s eyes.
