Chapter 2266

Ning Shu smiled. The monks of Illusory Temple probably didn’t want to be involved in this matter anymore because they thought they’d obtained the Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts manual. This must be why they were in such a hurry to leave.

If the world found out that the manual was in the Illusory Temple’s possession, they’d become a target of public criticism.

“Hey! Wait there.” Ning Shu quickly moved in front of the group of monks. She sneered and crossed her arms. “Master Hui Kong, is it appropriate for you to leave like this?”

“Amitabha, dear benefactor, monks must be mindful of their actions. We cannot do actions that go against our frame of mind,” Hui Kong, whom Ning Shu was blocking, tepidly said.

“What exactly requires everyone from the Illusory Temple to leave in such a hurry? My uncle is trying to get rid of the cancer of the martial world right now.

“As a member of the martial world, you masters should expend all your energies to support this. Otherwise, everyone has respected Master Hui Kong and Illusory Temple for nothing.”

Master Hui Kong frowned and finally shook his head helplessly. “Benefactor is making things difficult for us.”

Ning Shu sneered. “Does Master Hui Kong not know what happened last night? The people of the Demon Sect infiltrated Zhao Clan Stronghold and caused infighting among the various sects.

“Yet Master Hui Kong wants to stand on the sidelines like this. Master must understand the concept of interdependence!”

Master Hui Kong did not respond.

However, it was not appropriate for them to leave in this situation. Master Hui Kong had no choice but to stay.

If the Illusory Temple left, the renowned righteous sects would hold a grudge towards them from now on.

As they lived in the same small pond, they either must help or fight each other.

Ning Shu smiled. “That’s right. Since the people of the demonic sect have bullied us, we must fight back.”

“The demonic sect is responsible for what happened last night?”

“Is the demonic sect really in the area?”

“Then do the people of the demonic sect know that we’re going to attack them?”

Zhao Bo gestured with his hand. “Settle down, settle down!”

“The demonic sect is simply playing small tricks on us. They are trying to make us restless.

“This is my nephew.” Zhao Bo stretched his hand out in the direction of Ning Shu. “Ever since he was twelve, he has been living undercover in the Sacred Demonic Cult. He knows everything there is to know about the demonic sect. This time, we will be able to eradicate them.”

No one cared about this revelation. They were thinking about something else entirely.

“Leader Zhao, I heard that the Zhao Clan Stronghold has the Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts manual. If we possess such a thing, wouldn’t our chances of winning increase exponentially?” a man said without any hesitation.

When other people saw that someone had finally said it first, they all agreed. “Yes, Leader Zhao. This Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts can’t be hogged by Zhao Clan Stronghold, right?”

The people who came to the martial arts gathering this time were all eager to get their hands on the rare manual. Even if they did not get it, they wanted to take a look at it at least.

The moving atmosphere of the troop rally had all but disappeared now. All they wanted right now was to ask Zhao Bo for the rare manual.

They even dressed it up with the pretty claim that they could better deal with the demonic sect after improving their strength with it.

What a joke! Was it that easy to master rare techniques?

They were just trying to justify themselves.

These people wouldn’t have acted so rudely had it been for a different object. However, the Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts manual could give them such formidable strength that they’d become an immortal capable of moving the mountains and filling the sea.

Who wouldn’t want such a powerful strength?

So many people were putting pressure on Zhao Bo. They were trying to coerce Zhao Bo to hand over the manual by overwhelming him with their numbers.

This position of martial alliance leader seemed to be aloof and remote, very much above them, but they didn’t recognize such positions when their personal interests were concerned.

Zhao Bo’s face flashed with malevolence and embarrassment, even though only for a moment.

Ning Shu coldly responded to them, “Do you have any evidence that the Zhao Clan Stronghold has the Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts in our possession?”
