The strength of the Demon Sect alone was comparable to the combined strength of many orthodox sects. It could be said to be the number one sect in Jianghu.| A large sect.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had sent troops to crusade against the Demonic Sect several times, but they all ended in failure.
Although the Demonic Sect was defeated every time, they would always rise again in the end.
He could be said to be a centipede, dead but not dead!
"I didn't expect that this treasure map would actually be related to the Demon Sect.”
Xiao Wuji frowned slightly, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.
In the short term, he didn't want to provoke a behemoth like the Demonic Sect.
A powerful sect that could make a dynasty helpless for hundreds of years, how could he fight against it alone?
Although he was a martial grandmaster, there were many martial grandmasters in the Demon Cult.
With the Demon Cult's power, if they wanted to kill him, they would definitely be able to do it.
"We can't leave any of these corpses, not even a trace!”
Xiao Wuji slapped the three bodies into a bloody mist and dispersed all the blood mist. Then, he dug out the blade embedded in the wall and removed all traces of the fight to ensure that there were no clues left behind.
He then closed his breath to sense his surroundings. After making sure that there was no one hiding and that there were no witnesses, he concealed himself and returned to his home in the Vermilion Bird Lane alone.
There was no corpse, no trace.
No matter how strong the Demon Cult's intelligence network was, it was impossible to find Xiao Wuji.
When he returned home, Xiao Wuji took out the broken jade and the beast skin map and carefully looked at them a few times.
Something that could make the Demon Cult go to war was definitely not simple.
Unfortunately, the broken jade and the map were incomplete, so he couldn't find anything even if he was blind.
"These two things can't be seen in the light. We definitely can't let a second person discover them.”
Xiao Wuji rolled his eyes and smiled. He flashed out of the door and hid the broken jade and the beast skin map in the bricks of the wall.
No one would have thought that Xiao Wuji would leave such a precious thing outside.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. The ancestor's words are indeed reasonable.”
Xiao Wuji chuckled and went to sleep.
Before he found out the origin of the broken jade and the treasure map, Xiao Wuji wouldn't touch them. He would treat them as if they didn't exist.
.........
Jinling City, in a secret underground palace.
In the innermost part of the palace stood a huge statue that was five to six meters tall.
It was unknown what material the statue was made of. It was neither copper nor iron, neither steel nor stone. It was completely black and emitted a soft metallic luster.
The statue had three heads and six arms.
Each head had a green face and sharp fangs. The left head had a long tongue sticking out of it, the middle head had a human head in its mouth, and the right head had its mouth closed, but blood was flowing out of the gaps between its teeth.
Two of the six arms were holding swords and swords, while the other two were holding two fallen bodies and standing on both sides.
Finally, he crossed his arms and placed them on his legs.
He held a black lotus throne in his hands.
At first glance, this statue looked like a demon that had crawled out of hell, making people feel fear.
A figure sat cross-legged on the black lotus throne.
His figure was covered by a black gauze curtain, and his face could not be seen clearly. It was even impossible to tell whether this person was a man or a woman.
The underground palace was brightly lit by candles, as bright as day, but the temperature was very low and the air was very oppressive.
The maids around the underground palace all lowered their heads and trembled, not daring to make a single sound.
They were afraid that they would anger the owner of the underground palace and be killed cruelly.
Suddenly, a stone door in the underground palace opened, and a person wearing a ghost mask and a black robe walked in.
He came to the front of the gauze tent and knelt on one knee. He cupped his fists and said respectfully,"Protector, the fat monk, the skinny monk and the Poison Lady have disappeared in Jin Ling City.”
"Hmm? Lost track?"
A muffled and hoarse voice came from behind the gauze curtain. The voice contained a trace of anger, and it immediately frightened the maids in the underground palace to kneel on the ground.
"So you didn't find what I wanted?”
The tone of his voice suddenly changed, and at this moment, one could no longer hear his joy or anger.
The black-robed man knelt on one knee and said in fear,"It was this subordinate who did not do his job well.”
The person called the Protector asked,"Is it the Imperial Court? Jinyiwei or Six Fan School?"
"This subordinate does not know."
"Where did they go missing?"
"This subordinate does not know."
"Was there any killing in Jinling City tonight? Follow this clue and investigate!"
"This subordinate is incompetent. I have already sent people to investigate, but there was no killing in Jinling City tonight.”
"So you have no clue?”
"Yes, this subordinate is incompetent!"
"Humph! Trash!"
The person behind the curtain was finally enraged.
A cold snort sounded like thunder.
An invisible sound wave combined with a powerful internal force reverberated in the underground palace, shaking thousands of candles.
The maids kneeling on the ground were even knocked unconscious.
The black-robed man kneeling in front of the gauze tent also grunted, and a stream of blood flowed out from under the mask.
"Three living people disappeared from Jin Ling City without a trace. Are you kidding me?”
"Can they fly into the sky?”
"Investigate immediately. I want accurate information on them within three days.”
"If you can't find it, you don't have to come back.”
The black-robed man's voice trembled as he said respectfully,""This subordinate will obey!"
"Get lost!"
"Yes, sir!"
The black-robed man hurriedly got up and left as if he had been pardoned.
As soon as he walked out of the stone door, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
It was obvious that his heart meridian had been injured by the sound wave of the owner of the underground palace.
Just a cold snort was enough to hurt a person's heart. It could be seen how powerful the owner of the underground palace was.
