Chapter 202

"Nobody knows, only that they wear black armor, hold long sticks, are well-trained, and obey orders..."

"..."

For a time.

In the martial arts world, people were panicking.

Everyone was guessing where this mysterious force came from.

And why they were targeting the Nine Great Sects.

Eight Great Sects.

After the Qingfeng Sect was destroyed.

The remaining eight sects instantly felt a chill of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."

This mysterious force...

Clearly, it was targeting them.

First, it wiped out their sect masters and high-level figures at Nine-Line Sky.

Then it directly destroyed the Qingfeng Sect.

Coming aggressively.

Showing its fangs.

At this time.

People from the Sanxian Gate stood out, actively uniting with the other seven sects.

Urgently discussing the next response strategy.

"According to intelligence from our Sanxian Gate, we have already found out that these mysterious people wear black armor, hold hidden weapons, but their strength is very ordinary, winning by relying on numbers!"

"It is a pity that our Nine Great Sect Masters, with peerless martial arts, dominated the martial arts world, but met with an untimely death! The Qingfeng Sect was even directly destroyed; we must avenge our sect masters and the Qingfeng Sect!"

"Among our remaining Eight Great Sects, all inner and outer disciples added together total thirty thousand; as long as we unite, we can definitely wipe out this mysterious force!"

"But if we unite, who will serve as the Alliance Leader? Now that the Nine Great Sect Masters are dead, who in the world can convince the public?"

"Did you all forget the world's number one from fifty years ago... he is still alive!"

"He lives in seclusion in the Emerald Bamboo Forest; there is no time to lose, let's go and invite him out of the mountains now!"

"..."

After some discussion.

The Eight Great Sects soon decided to send people personally to invite the reclusive Heavenly Machine Old Man out of the mountains!

Many people remember.

Fifty years ago.

It was a legendary era in the martial arts world.

The Heavenly Machine Old Man appeared, sweeping across the world with no rivals.

Finally...

Indifferent to the martial arts world, he retired to the mountains and forests.

Leaving the martial arts world to the younger generation.

But no one dared to underestimate the strength of the Heavenly Machine Old Man.

Fifty years ago, he was the world's number one.

Having lived in seclusion for fifty years, his strength must have reached a higher level, reaching perfection!

With his leadership.

They could definitely wipe out this mysterious force.

However...

One day later.

The envoys of the Eight Great Sects arrived at the Emerald Bamboo Forest.

As a result...

They saw a hair-raising scene.

The Emerald Bamboo Forest, which originally stretched for hundreds of meters and was lush and green, had now become a ruin.

Devastated.

Everywhere there were charred bamboos.

And they searched the entire Emerald Bamboo Forest...

Not even a living creature was found!

Finally.

Helpless, they could only return to report.

"What?! The Emerald Bamboo Forest was razed to the ground? And the Heavenly Machine Old Man is missing?"

"The miserable state of the Emerald Bamboo Forest seems to have been done by those black-armored people, also heavenly thunder..."

"Hiss!! Impossible! The Heavenly Machine Old Man's martial arts are the best in the world; he hasn't been seen for fifty years, how could his True Qi be so strong that he couldn't block those hidden weapons?"

"Search! Keep searching! We must find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Machine Old Man!"

"..."

The Eight Great Sects were shocked and angry.

They didn't expect...

The martial arts titan from fifty years ago would disappear so strangely!

An ominous feeling shrouded their hearts.

In a small village.

Yan was examining an old man locked by chains made of refined steel.

This old man was locked in a cage.

His whole body was covered in blood.

Looking extremely weak.

On the verge of death.

But he exuded a terrifying aura.

"Heavenly Machine Old Man?"

Yan raised his eyebrows.

That's right.

This old man...

Was indeed the Heavenly Machine Old Man.

After destroying the Qingfeng Sect, he immediately dispatched three thousand Great Yan soldiers to the Emerald Bamboo Forest.

Mainly because he learned from the intelligence department.

In this world, besides the Nine Great Sect Masters.

There was one more person...

Who was the best in the martial arts world fifty years ago, walking alone in the martial arts world.

In the martial arts world, the Heavenly Machine Old Man was even more mythically praised.

Therefore.

To ensure that the Great Yan Army could successfully conquer this world.

The Heavenly Machine Old Man had to be eliminated!

Moreover.

To be safe, Yan also had the three thousand Great Yan soldiers bring several cannons.

But even so.

The strength of the Heavenly Machine Old Man had exceeded his imagination.

Relying on the dense Emerald Bamboo Forest, he dodged the attacks of the muskets.

Appearing and disappearing unpredictably, he even injured hundreds of Great Yan soldiers.

Finally.
