Chapter 240 Martial Saint's Radiance
The news of the destruction of the Bodhi Dojo and the murder of its master, Xu Puti, finally reached the ears of the higher-ups of the Martial Elders Association.
Upon receiving this news, the Grand Elder of the Martial Arts Association was furious.
Although Baisha City is a newly emerging city, its size and population are not comparable to some large cities, but its location has very important strategic significance and cannot be ignored.
In the war between the Martial Elders Association and the Clan Alliance, the Clan Alliance suffered repeated defeats. While the lack of high-end combat power was one aspect, the inability to keep up with various strategic resources was also an important reason.
Although not the main battlefield, White Sand City is a strategically important supply point. Controlling White Sand City is tantamount to cutting off the supply lines to the allied forces surrounding it.
Ultimately, war is never an individual act, but a reflection of comprehensive strength in all aspects. In the end, war is about resources and financial strength.
The defeat at Baisha City will not only affect the allocation of resources by the Wu Lao Hui, but more seriously, it will directly impact the morale of the Wu Lao Hui's army.
The Martial Elders Association has controlled the martial arts power of Tianyun Continent for thousands of years. When have they ever suffered such a loss?
During a strategic meeting within the Martial Elders Association, the Grand Elder became very angry, and the consequences were severe.
Seeing the First Elder's fury, the other twelve elders remained silent, fearing that the First Elder might take his anger out on them.
Although they are all elders, the Grand Elder holds absolute authority in the Martial Elders Association. Compared to the Grand Elder's prestige, the Twelve Elders are merely figureheads.
"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened in White Sand City?"
With no one responding, the elder's anger intensified, his gaze seeming capable of killing at any moment.
The twelfth elder had his eyebrows lowered, his eyes looking down at his nose, and his nose looking down at his heart, like an old monk in deep meditation.
"Elder Liu, you've always been in charge of matters in Baisha City, so you should speak on this. Don't tell me you know nothing about the situation in Baisha City!"
Seeing that all twelve elders bowed their heads and remained silent, the First Elder, in a fit of rage, began to call out names.
Elder Liu, who had been called upon by the Grand Elder, had no choice but to stand up and say, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, when Xu Puti opened a temple in Baisha City, he had a conflict with another temple in the city. Xu Puti went to confront them, but was killed by the other party."
"That Xu Puti is a piece of trash!" the Grand Elder roared in fury. "How could Baisha City, a newly established city, have any powerful figures? Investigate and find out who the warrior who killed Xu Puti is!"
Elder Liu said, "It has been found that the master of that dojo is named Xiao Chong, and like Xu Puti, he is also a Grandmaster."
"Xiao Chong? Why does that name sound so familiar?" The First Elder pondered for a moment, as if recalling something, and then said, "Is he the Xiao Chong from Refining Heart City three years ago?"
"Elder is wise. It is indeed this person, the sworn enemy of our Martial Elders Association!" Elder Liu replied cautiously.
"A sworn enemy? A nobody as insignificant as an ant, does he even deserve the title?"
The Grand Elder was very dissatisfied with Elder Liu's answer, glared at him fiercely, and continued to ask, "What is the current situation in White Sand City?"
Elder Liu lowered his head and said, "According to news from Baisha City a while ago, Xiao Chong gathered a group of rabble in the city, created the Longhua Sect, proclaimed himself the sect leader, and vowed to fight against the Wu Elders' Association to the end."
Moreover, this person has several skilled fighters around him, all of whom are Grandmasters, making him a formidable opponent.
"Grandmaster level cultivation is considered good? You're really regressing with age!"
The elder cursed and ordered impatiently, "Immediately send men to Baisha City to capture Xiao Chong!"
"Isn't it a tough opponent? Then send a few more Grandmasters, and if that doesn't work, send another Martial Saint. That should solve the problem, right?"
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away!"
Upon hearing that the Grand Council had agreed to send a Martial Saint, Elder Liu quickly accepted.
"If you mess this up again, you'll be sent to the front lines!"
The First Elder glanced at the Twelfth Elder, then stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
……
Liu Guang was filled with a thousand reluctances.
He received his orders while fighting alongside the army against the clan alliance, commanding him to go to Baisha City and annihilate the Longhua Dao. Four other Grandmasters who had also received similar orders accompanied him.
The reason for this arrangement is that the headquarters of the Martial Elders Association is too far from White Sand City, a distance of millions of miles. Even by airship, it would take at least several months to fly there.
However, the battle division where Liu Guang was located was very close to Baisha City, only less than 10,000 li away. With his cultivation level, if he traveled at full speed, it would only take him three days even on foot.
Therefore, this operation to wipe out Baisha City was arranged remotely by the Wu Lao Association through a special communication method.
Liu Guang was very dissatisfied with this arrangement.
He was a Martial Saint, and as a Martial Saint, even in the Martial Elders' Association full of talented people, Liu Guang's status and position were extraordinary.
Baisha City is just a newly emerging city with a population of only a few hundred thousand. It's just a bunch of bandits and thieves who gathered there to cause trouble. Does it really need a dignified Martial Saint to take action?
Isn't this a bit of a waste of talent?
Liu Guang felt like he was a sledgehammer to crack, which the Wu family used to stab a weakling.
However, Elder Liu, one of the twelve elders, had given an order that Liu Guang had no choice but to obey. Therefore, he could only take the four grandmasters sent by the guild and the group of five hurriedly head to Baisha City.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Haven't you all eaten enough? You're all like spineless shrimps!"
Liu Guang glanced at the four Grandmasters who were chasing closely behind him, his gaze unfriendly.
"Lord Liuguang, we are already traveling at full speed, but with your martial arts cultivation, even if we work ourselves to death, we still can't catch up."
Liu Yu, the most skilled of the four Grandmasters, ran a few steps to catch up with Liu Guang and complained.
Liu Yu was somewhat related to Elder Liu, so Liu Guang couldn't be too harsh on him. Therefore, he could only curse under his breath and try to slow down his pace.
Because the other four grandmasters held them back, the journey that should have taken three days took five days. On the fifth day at noon, Liu Guang finally led the four grandmasters to Baisha City.
"Is that Baisha City ahead?" Liu Guang stopped and asked, gazing at a city less than ten miles away.
“That’s right, sir, that city is White Sand City.” Liu Yu stopped and replied, panting heavily.
After this non-stop, long-distance journey, he was utterly exhausted. The other three Grandmasters were even more devastated, squatting on the ground like dead dogs, almost foaming at the mouth.
Liu Guang didn't care about this at all and said in a deep voice, "Now that we're here, let's rush in together. We still need to get back to the military camp after we're done!"
"My lord, we are truly exhausted. Why not rest here for a while and catch our breath before going in?" Liu Yu and the other three grandmasters pleaded in unison.
"No, it's just about wiping out a bunch of stragglers, why go to such lengths?"
Liu Guang brandished his fist at the four men, his face extremely grim. Judging from his stance, he was ready to strike at any moment should the four dare to disobey his orders.
"Let's listen to the adults."
Seeing that Liu Guang was truly enraged, Liu Yu dared not disobey and reluctantly stood up to persuade the other three Grandmasters.
The other three knew that the Martial Saint's fists were no joke, so they had no choice but to follow Liu Guang, gritting their teeth as they headed towards Baisha City.
