I am Master Maoshan

In an ancient courtyard in Dan City, several people in black robes sat here, and a soundproof formation was set up around them. They were obviously plotting something. The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense and heavy, as if it was about to explode.

"Is it true that the Dan Sect's spiritual veins have been depleted of spiritual energy because of the ancient healing array's treatment of Liu Jun?" one of the black-robed men asked. His voice was low and eerie, making people shudder.

"I don't know, I can't be sure. At that time, only Wu Ning and Cang Hai took Liu Jun into the ancient healing array. Others, including the sect leader Jiang Yueyang, were unable to follow." Another black-robed man replied in a hoarse voice. His words revealed a hint of doubt and helplessness.

"Could this be a trap set by the Dan Sect?" the third black-robed man analyzed. There was a hint of vigilance and suspicion in his voice, as if he had seen through the hidden truth behind the whole incident.

The black-robed people in the courtyard fell into deep thought, their eyes flashing with thinking sparks, as if they were trying to find clues to the truth. Their identities were mysterious, their goals were clear, and one could feel their concern and attention to this incident.

Suddenly, a man in a black robe stood up, his eyes were firm and cold: "No matter what, we must get those things, but we can't act rashly. We must find out the truth as soon as possible. If Danzong really set a trap, then we must be fully prepared."

The other black-robed men also nodded in agreement. Their eyes revealed a hint of determination and firmness, as if they were ready to meet the challenge.

These people in black robes are representatives of various major forces. Each of them possesses powerful strength and is definitely a strong man, otherwise they would not have the courage to attempt to plunder the treasures of Danzong.

Among these people, there was a man in black robes who stood out. He seemed to be a senior member of Danzong, otherwise he would not have known the internal affairs of Danzong so clearly. However, no one knew why he betrayed his own sect and sold out the secrets of Danzong.

The black-robed man's eyes flashed with cunning light, as if he was planning something. His accomplices were also listening to his plan, nodding from time to time. Whether their conspiracy would succeed or be retaliated by Danzong, only time could tell.

At this time, the night was deep, and the lights in the courtyard seemed particularly bright. The conspiracy of these black-robed men would unfold in this night, and this disturbance would affect the peace of the entire God Realm.

There is a unique restaurant in Dan City. It is not only a place for residents to gather and entertain, but also a center for the flow of various information. However, this place has been completely booked and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely heavy, making people feel depressed.

In a corner of the restaurant, a group of demigods knelt on the ground. The clothing they wore showed their noble status, but at this moment they looked so humble. Their eyes were full of awe and uneasiness, and they faced a specific direction, as if that direction had a power that they had to be so in awe of.

At the front of the group, there was a burly man, his head almost touching the cold floor, looking extremely humble. He was obviously the leader of the group, but at the moment he was suffering from a mistake.

On the bed in front of him sat an old man in a brown robe. His face looked a little old, but his eyes were still bright. He was leaning on a strange-shaped cane, which seemed to contain great power. Every time the old man trembled, the cane made a low resonance.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes widened, and he angrily swung his cane and smashed it at the burly man in front of him. The force was so strong that it was unbelievable, and the burly man fell to the ground in an instant.

The moment the man fell to the ground, the people around him lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound. The old man did not seem to stop, and continued to point his cane at the man who fell to the ground, asking sternly: "Do you know? The consequences of your actions!"

Although the old man looked frail, at that moment, the strength of his cane was so great that it could not be underestimated. The man who was knocked down, despite the pain in his body, did not resist at all. He quickly got up, knelt down again, and lowered his head to endure the old man's anger.

The strong man who was kneeling and being beaten was Tulu, the leader of the demigod tribe. He was a burly man with a painful expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a trace of unyielding and determination. Tuku, who was killed by Liu Jun, was his younger brother and his right-hand man in the tribe. The two had always had a very close relationship.

The old man who beat him was the most respected high priest of the entire demigod tribe, the spiritual leader of the tribe, and possessed supreme authority and wisdom. His face was full of traces of time, and his eyes were deep and mysterious, which made people involuntarily feel awe.

"High, High Priest, when the leader went to Danzong, he was wearing a cloak and a mask, so he shouldn't be recognized." A female demigod tribe member next to him whispered. Her voice trembled, and she was obviously frightened by the shaman's anger.

When the shaman heard this, he became even angrier and cursed: "You know shit! All of us demigods have a special aura. The people from Danzong will definitely recognize his identity!" His voice was loud and stern, and everyone in the restaurant could hear it.

No one dared to say anything now. Almost all of them had grown up under the High Priest's watch and knew his temper. They knew that the High Priest had always been the beacon of the entire tribe, guiding the entire demigod race forward and had never made a mistake, so what he said must be right.

"Tulu, I can understand that you want to find Liu Jun to avenge your brother Tuku." The shaman looked at Tulu and said in a heavy tone, "But what is Liu Jun's current status? He is the supreme elder of Danzong and one of the most powerful people in Danzong. If we act rashly, it will only bring disaster to the entire demigod race." Tulu's body trembled involuntarily when he heard this. He knew that the high priest was telling the truth, and he knew that his actions would bring great risks to the tribe. However, the anger and grief in his heart made him unable to suppress it.

Thinking of his brother Tuku's smiling face and his calls, he couldn't help but want to avenge his brother. His heart was filled with hatred for Liu Jun, and that hatred was like a burning flame, constantly burning his heart. He could not forget the pain Liu Jun brought him, and he could not forget the tragic death of his brother.

So he decided to take action. After he found out that Liu Jun had entered Danzong, he followed him into Danzong. He decided to pretend to be a trial disciple and entered the trial ground so that he could get close to Liu Jun and find an opportunity to take revenge. He hid his true identity and patiently waited for the opportunity to come.

But later, Liu Jun got into a fight with someone, and the fighting was too volatile, so he had to stay away. He secretly observed Liu Jun's every move, and he saw Liu Jun's growth in strength and his outstanding performance in the trial ground. His heart was filled with anger and jealousy, and he decided to wait for a better opportunity.

Unexpectedly, after the battle, Liu Jun entered the Fallen Forest, and then the trial ground was closed, not giving him a chance to take revenge. He felt disappointed and desperate, and he felt that he had lost an opportunity.

Later, he learned that Danzong was investigating what happened in the trial ground, and he thought this was an opportunity, so he thought about stepping forward to report Liu Jun and using Danzong's sect rules to deal with Liu Jun. He thought that this would allow Liu Jun to receive the punishment he deserved, and then he might be able to find a chance for revenge.

But he overlooked one point, that is, Liu Jun's importance to Danzong. Even if Danzong found out that the incident at the trial site was related to Liu Jun, they would not do anything to Liu Jun. Instead, they would turn the spearhead around and find out who was targeting Liu Jun.

The high priest waved the crutch in his hand, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Everyone else, get out. No one is allowed to go out during this period without my order!" His eyes were like torches, staring at the demigods kneeling behind Tulu, with a look of disgust and dissatisfaction.

When the demigods heard the high priest's order, they stood up and left the place immediately, as if they had been relieved. Their faces were full of fear and tension, and they were obviously in awe of the high priest's majesty.

Soon, only the high priest and the demigod leader Tulu were left in the empty room. The atmosphere in the room became tense and heavy, as if it was about to explode.

The high priest looked at Tulu with a sharp gaze, and asked sternly: "Tulu, do you know that the Dan Sect will find out that you did this? Do you know how serious the consequences are? The best result is that the Dan Sect will completely cut off cooperation with us and will no longer trade elixirs and magic tools to us. This is a major event that affects the entire demigod race. As the leader of the demigod race, have you ever considered your people?"

In the eyes of the high priest, Tuku was dead and that was it. He did not feel sorry for Tuku's death because he received reports about Tuku's actions every day.

It’s not that he hasn’t disciplined Tuku before, but Tuku, relying on Tulu’s support, continued to act recklessly. It’s only his own fault that he has brought about the current situation.

The words of the high priest were like a gust of cold wind, piercing and chilling, causing Tulu to shiver. He knew that the impact of this incident had exceeded his expectations, and he had to face the high priest's questioning and Danzong's investigation.

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret, but the regret was not about avenging his brother, but about regretting that he was too impulsive and implicated the entire demigod race.

"High Priest, I will give you and my people an explanation." Tulu's voice was full of determination and firmness. He gritted his teeth and said this, then turned around and walked out.

There was a flash of anger in the high priest's eyes. He knew Tulu's stubbornness and obstinacy, but he also understood that only severe measures could make him realize his mistakes.

"Come back here, I will handle this matter. Remember, from today on, you are not allowed to leave this restaurant without my order. If you disobey, your family will never receive the blessing of the priest." The high priest's voice was full of majesty and command, and his words made Tulu pause.

Tulu's heart was full of struggle and pain. He knew what the blessing of the high priest meant to a member of the demigod tribe. Without the blessing of the high priest, his descendants would not be recognized and respected by the tribe, let alone become a true leader.

Although he really wanted to seek revenge on Liu Jun again, he didn't want to really anger the high priest.

Tulu finally chose to be patient and obedient. He walked out of the room, but did not leave the restaurant. He stood silently in the corner of the restaurant. When no one was paying attention, a tear fell from the corner of the eye of this strong man.

As a young leader, he felt sorry for his people and failed to protect his brother. He felt like a useless person. (End of this chapter)
